Just Half the Year (A Percabeth Fanfiction)

Chapter 3- Teachers Pet

        I take a deep breath and shove open the school double doors as the bell buzzes my ears. A stupid guy I have unfortunately known for my few years at this school comes up to me.

"Annabeth, you're here! Check it out everyone THE Annabeth Chase has arrived!!" He yells as kids scurried by.

"Shut up Daniel, nobody cares." I spit back at him.

"I care," he says and puckers up his mouth.

I push him away with a smirk and say, "Can't do that anymore stupid!"

"This girl is taken." I say confidently.

At first he looks hurt, then surprised with a idiot grin on his face the yells louder

"SO WHO IS THE LUCKY GUY ANNABETH?"

At that moment in just drop my head and walk away. Let's face it, Daniel is a clown.

        I sit down at a empty desk in the front of the room and take out my notebooks for English class while kids start to pour in from the hallway. Instantly I hear pointless chatter like "Oh and he did what?" Or "Dude take a chance and ask her out." Just stuff like that. I tune them out and get to work. Only for one semester I think.

. . .

The teacher strides in at last minute and says

"I am Miss Finkle-"

        But before she can get another word out the class busrts out laughing. I hold my laugh in with a grin because she seems like the kind of teacher you don't wanna mess with. So I just occupy myself braiding my curly blonde hair, while eyeing the gray streaks from holding up the weight of the world to save Luke.

"I know what your thinking." She declares.

"Yes it's a weird name and-"

Daniel bursts out saying "Yes it is Ma'am!" He shouts with a laugh.

      At that moment, she gets a stack of pink detention slips and hands them out to everyone but me. I feel warmth instantly rise to my cheeks.

"And who are you, lovely young lady who is the only one with respect in this classroom?" I realize with horror that she's talking to me.

"Um, I'm Annabeth Chase." I manage to say straight.

"What a nice name. I think everyone should be more like Annabeth for the rest of the year."

       At this point, the whole class is oddly silent and I, officially declare myself a dork with good behavior. The bell buzzed, and still flustered with embarrassment I grab all my books and Daedalus's laptop and storm out of the room before Miss Finkle-whatever can stop me.
