Annabeth's POV
"For this math assignment you will get to know each other. Later, once you get to know each other, the other person will create a test. If you fail, you fail my class."

I was surprised.

Mrs.Dodds was mean, but this was really weird.

It had nothing to do with math, and it involved being social.

I guess I have to get to know Percy.

"So, uh, hi."

I turned and saw Percy standing there awkwardly.

"Oh hey."

"So. I guess we should start getting to know each other and stuff."

I nodded. "Sure."

He sat down on the seat next to me and gestured me to talk.

"Well, my name is Annabeth Chase. I live with my dad, step-mom, and my two younger brothers. My best friends are Piper, Thalia, Katie and Rachel."

"You're friends with Rachel?"

I raised a brow. "Yea why?"

He shrugged. "No reason. Anyway, my name is Perseus Jackson. But don't call me that. Uh, I live with my mom, and my half-brother Tyson. I recently moved back from San Francisco."

"Why'd you move to San Francisco?"

He shrugged. "Reasons. I met a lot of different friends and stuff there."

Percy glanced at all my books. "Also, why do you have so many books? Are you like, a nerd?"

I blinked. "Excuse me?"

"Okay that sounded really bad. I didn't mean it like that."

I chucked a bit. "It's fine. You were right anyways, I'm a nerd." Putting air quotation marks on the word nerd.

He shook his head in disbelief. "And your friends with Pinco- I mean Thalia?"

"Yea... Why is that so hard to believe?"

"Well Thals is like a punk princess. You are a nerd." he said as if that explained everything.

I just shrugged it off.

"What were you about to call Thalia just now?"

He grinned. "Pinecone Face. When we were younger, we were playing around and being the weirdo she is, she dug under the roots just to see if she could fit.
She was stuck there for quite a while."

I raised a brow. "What does that have to do with pinecones?"

He smirked. "It was a pinecone tree. Since she was stuck the pinecones kept falling hitting her but she couldn't get out."

He looked at my confused expression and continued to explain. "Let's just say she had a few scars on her face."

I slowly began to grin. "Well, thanks for the free blackmail."

He curtsied. "Of course madame. But I have to say next time it will not come free."

I snorted. "Did you just curtsy?"

He shrugged. "I don't even know anymore."

"Okay class, the bell is about to ring. Finish up."

As I gathered my books, Percy started talking.

"If you don't mind, I was wondering if you could help me with something?"

"Depends on what."

"It's-"

He was cut off by Rachel. "Perseus Jackson!"

He shuddered and pointed to Rachel. "That."

I just grinned. "Sorry, can't help you there."

"Oh the nerve you have Percy. You can't just waltz up here an-"

Percy interrupted her. "Yeah yeah, I missed you too Rach."

He gave her the most adorable seal eyes I've ever seen and she sighed.

"Even after all these years I still can't resist them. I hate you, you know?"

"Aw, I love you to Rach." he teased.

I heard Katie whisper to Silena. "Do you think they'll go at it again?"

Silena shrugged. "I don't know, their not really my favorite ship."

I felt a weird feeling in my stomach but pushed it aside.

Jason interrupted. "Sorry to interrupt this wonderful reunion but we gotta go Perce."

"Oh okay. Bye guys."

When he almost left the room, he stopped at the doorway. "Oh and Annabeth?"

I tilted my head in response.

"Text me about the project later."

He gave a signature lop sided grin that made me melt inside and left.

I heard Silena squeal about something and Leo muttering about a ladies man but I wasn't listening.

First, he bumps into me and somehow doesn't make me mad, then he somehow managed to make me all happy and now this?

Am I starting to have feelings for Percy Jackson?

A/N- Kinda bad chapter sorry.
