Let Me Be Your Princess In Black

+7+

Andrew sat down in his second class of the day, Pre-Calculus. 

By now, he knew word of his encounter with Luca would have spread through out the whole school like wildfire. The glances he kept getting just proved him right. 

He hated people gawking at him, lurking off to the side and not having the guts to just talk to him about what they were saying about him. He wondered what version of the story was the most popular. 

Which ever one was most dramatic, obviously. 

Jacy worked her way into class and sat down in front of him, throwing her things down then turning in her seat to look at him. "Is it true?" Andrew rolled his eyes and waved his hand for her to continue. "Is it true Luca challenged Percy for you?" 

He blinked, a blonde curl falling into his eyes as he jerked his head up. "What?" He hissed. "First off, she doesn't own me." That earned a look from Jacy he didn't want to unpack right then. "Second, Luca didn't challenge her for me! She was trying to start shit, that's right, but she didn't "challenge" her." He rolled his eyes, using air quotes around challenge. 

"So it's true." She sighed, shaking her head. "I feel bad for Luca, Percy can kick her ass easily." She grabbed her Styrofoam cup off her desk and sipped from the straw. "What are you going to do about her?" 

"What do you mean?" He blinked again. 

"Obviously you have to stop tutoring her." She shrugged, as if it was the natural thing to do. "Percy will want you to do at least that." She set her cup back down and met Andrew's confused grey eyes with her own. 

"Percy doesn't want me to stop tutoring her!" He scrunched his face up and shook his head. "That would be ridiculous, and I think, no offense, that I know her a little better than you do." Jacy rolled her eyes and frowned. "Percy isn't some random chick in a teen movie, she hates drama and will always opt to not have it anywhere near her life." 

Jacy mumbled something under her breath and Andrew glared. She pouted then rolled her eyes again. "Fine, I'm just saying you need to cut this Luca chick off." 

"I think I made myself pretty clear today." Andrew couldn't help the pink dusting his cheeks and nose. Jacy smiled brightly then sighed again. "Just leave it alone, I can handle some random chick." 

"I'm not saying you can't." She leaned in a bit. "I'm saying Luca wants one of two things: to get at Percy through you, or two-just get you and Percy is a side-affect. " She tapped his desk three times then turned around as the teacher walked in. 

So much for a rebuttal. 

Andrew was the debate team captain, if there was one thing he hated more than his pencil breaking in the middle of drawing blue prints, it was a person starting a debate and not having time to finish it. 

Class passed fairly quickly, then the next, and the next. He walked with Percy as usual but didn't really have time to talk to her. 

Once they sat down for lunch was another story, however. 

She plopped down, before he slid onto the end of the bench, and leaned on his shoulder once he was sat down. "How has your day been Wise Guy?" Percy asked, twirling a piece of her hair as she looked up at him. 

It was the perfect time for some corny line like; better now that I'm with you, or some shit. But Andrew only shrugged with one shoulder, careful not to disturb his bestfriend on his left side. "Fine, boring actually." Which was true, almost anything was boring when he didn't have her annoying him. 

"Same here." She sighed and pulled out her lunch box. She took the cookies out and gave one to Andrew, eating hers in two bites. He chuckled as he slowly ate his cookie, just watching as she divided the sandwich between the two of them, pulled out two bags of chips, and opened a can of Cherry Coke. As was the usual when he stayed the night at her place. 

Though she always brought extra incase he hadn't packed one because he was too tired to remember. 

Percy munched on her sandwich, and Andrew wrapped an arm around her waist as he ate his. The whole table was focusing on eating, the friend group having decided long ago; food first, talking and chaos second.

As they finished eating, Andrew shifted so he had one leg on either side of the bench. Percy did the same, leaning back into Andrew as he wrapped his arms around her. Peter had one arm over Jacy's shoulder as they sat across from Percy and Andrew.

"So," Peter grinned. "I heard, through a little bird," He pinched his girlfriend's hip, she swatted him on the arm. "that you two had an eventful walk into school today." The rest of the group stopped their chatting to listen, having all heard the story-and wanting a first account. 

"Ugh," Percy groaned and rolled her eyes. "Luca is a bitch that needs to shut the fuck up. That about sums it up." She waved a finger in the air in a circle before letting it fall back on top of Andrew's locked hands. 

Peter grinned. "Is that all?" He leaned forward a bit, his girlfriend already scolding him for trying to get into it with Percy. "I heard she made a claim." He said in a sing song voice. Andrew could feel Percy tense up, sense the grin creep onto her face. "I heard she made a claim, on him." He pointed to Andrew. 

"If that were true," Percy spoke, low and sweet, "then she would be in for a quick and severe ass kicking. Now isn't that right?" She cocked her head to the side as a warning. Peter chuckled before pulling back and shrugging. "I don't like drama, and I don't like those who start drama."

Andrew gave Jacy a pointed look. 

"She is still going to be tutored by him, that's not changing." Percy rolled her green eyes again. "The only thing that's changing at all, is that she's now on my list." 

Shit, Andrew thought, shit.
