This is an AU story.
ANNABETH'S POV
Ugh, why do I always fall for the ones I can't have? I mean, I'm the girl who's always on task, follows rules, and is pretty much the teachers pet. But she still falls for the one boy that is the complete opposite. Percy Jackson. That's the name that gives me butterflies every time I hear it. He's the school's "bad boy". He never pays attention in class and skips school and has nice hair and sea-green eyes and... I mean, he's trouble. Yeah, trouble. I can't fall for him.
Well, I'm headed to my next class which is history. Percy's in that class, too. Well, if he doesn't decide to skip class today. I got to class (thankfully without any bullies in the halls) and immediately saw the face that causes me to melt. Percy looked at me, then looked away. I'm not sure if he saw me because he didn't seem to care if he did. My heart clenched slightly and I went to my seat. The rest of class went by fast.
Lunch rolled in and all I could think of was how I was gonna get past the bullies this time. They were Percy's friends but I don't think he knows that they do this to me. They've been bullying me since 6th grade. Even now, in 12th grade, their still bullying me.
I saw the first guy. I don't really know any of their names. The rest came like brainless zombies behind him.
"Hey, nerd," one laughed. I rolled my eyes and tried to walk away, but he stood in front of me.
"I'm sorry, but was that supposed to hurt my feelings?" I asked sarcastically. He didn't seem to find it funny. He raised his arm and was about to hit me but someone stopped him. It was Percy.
"Hey, dude, c'mon they got good food over there," Percy said. My heart instantly melted. Gosh I love him, but why?
Well, the bullies left. I was about to go to my table with some of my friends but a journal caught my eye. It was blue and had a leather cover. I grabbed it and opened it to see who's it was. Wait, no way. The journal I was holding was Percy Jackson's diary. I know I shouldn't but, I can have some fun with this.
PERCY'S POV
I couldn't let them hurt her. I know, it's dumb, but, I kinda like Annabeth. Well, a lot more than just like. As dumb as it sounds, the bad boy falling in love with the good girl, it's happening. Well, there's a story behind my becoming of a "bad boy", I guess.
ANNABETH'S POV
I ran to the bathroom and opened the diary. I flipped a couple pages until I came to more recent dates. It read:
Dear Diary,
I can't believe I'm about to say this but, I think I'm in love. She reminds me of me, a goody-two-shoes. I know what your thinking, "Your not a good person" but this whole bad boy thing is sort of a mask I wear. I'm actually not that bad of a person, well at least I think I'm not. It all started when my dad left in 8th grade. He cheated on my mom. She was broken. I wanted to kill him. I fell into a deep emptiness. I promised myself this wouldn't happen again. No one could do that to me again. I blocked myself out. I acted like didn't care. Well, I do care. Annabeth is her name. She has long golden locks that are curly and messy, but beautiful. Her eyes are grey like a thunderstorm. She's really smart, but I can't let myself fall again. I mean, why the hell would she like me? I'm the complete opposite of her, well at least that's the only side of me she knows. Maybe if I get a chance to get to know her a little. I don't know anymore.
And that was it. I was on the bathroom floor in a stall, crying. Wow, he likes me back. Dreams can come true.
FEW HOURS LATER>>>
PERCY'S POV
After school, I usually write in my diary. I opened my backpack to only see it wasn't there. I started to panic and threw all my papers on the floor. I tried to think where I may have left it, then it clicked. When I saw my friends about to hurt Annabeth, I threw my backpack on the floor. It must have came out there. But I had walked by that area after lunch and it wasn't there. Wait, what if Annabeth found my diary? What if she read it? That'd be the end of me.
ANNABETH'S POV
I had read pretty much read the whole diary. Percy wasn't actually bad and he was really smart. I was walking down the road to my house, and I was debating on whether or not taking the diary back to him. I had an idea.
I grabbed a post-it note from my bag and wrote on it "You should tell her how you feel". I know it's dumb but I had to tell him to do something. I went to his house since it was on the road to my house. I put the diary on his doorstep and rang the bell then ran away so he wouldn't see me. Thankfully, Percy opened the door and not his mother. He saw the diary and immediately picked it up. He looked around before seeing the note. He read it and went inside slowly. And I went home with a smile playing on my face.
PERCY'S POV
Was this a joke? Who read this? Is it Annabeth trying to tell me she feels the same about me? I have so many questions that may never be answered, but I decided to take a chance and do what the note said.
THE NEXT DAY>>>
PERCY'S POV
It was almost lunch and I wanted to tell Annabeth now but I have to be patient. I have a plan. Although it sounds dumb, I really like her. I may even love her but I'm not ready for that. At least, I don't think I am.
FEW HOURS LATER>>>
3RD PERSON
It was the end of the school day and Percy was extremely nervous but also excited. He called Annabeth over.
"Hey, um, could I talk to you?" Percy's heart was racing fast. He was so scared.
Annabeth knew what was about to happen and almost cried because she was so happy.
"Yeah sure,"
They walked over to somewhere they could talk in private.
"I-I sorta like you, well more than just like you. I get it if you don't want anything to do with me, but I have to tell you. I know it sounds really dumb but I've liked you for a while now and-" Percy got cut off with Annabeths lips. She couldn't control herself anymore. They enjoyed the few minutes together. The bell rang and they knew they both had to leave, even though they didn't want to. They looked at each other before leaving.
"Would you like to go out with me?" Percy asked. He went right in and didn't even think about what he had said.
"Of course" Annabeth smiled.
Whoop, whoop. That's it. We've been getting a lot of views and its making me soooo happy.Thanks so much for reading and bye! ~Eden
