My Bestfriend's Brother (A Percy Jackson Fanfic)

Anubis Black

I don't exactly know what happened with Apollo and Penny after their talk in the kitchen. She didn't seem resolved and calm,and she didn't seem angry either. She didn't speak,or yell at Apollo to get out,but he kept giving her looks every five seconds. It definitely won't help her mood when she finds out that Percy's gone...again.

"So...I was thinking about heading over to the mall. Heard a new cafe opened." Piper said openly,her eyes bouncing on Penny,who was clearing the plates without saying anything. An uncomfortable silence stretched among us.

"So uh..Penny,wanna come?"

"Huh? Oh,no thanks. You guys carry on." She said quietly,walking into the kitchen. Piper shrugged at Percy,and I looked at Apollo,who bit his lip.

"You tried." I said encouragingly to her.

"I have an idea. Hey sis?" He called out.

"Yeah?"

"Can I borrow your headphones? And your IPod?"

"Yeah sure."

Percy's jaw dropped. Piper let out a soft whistle. I guess Penny never allows anyone to touch her stuff. Apollo squirmed in his seat. Suddenly Daphne walked in,beaming as usual."Hey guys!" She swooped down to Apollo and planted a kiss on his cheek. He looked annoyed,but Daphne totally ignored it. Just then the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Daphne sang,bouncing to the door. First time she's actually doing something. Just then Percy's eyes raked the door,and he jumped up,the chair falling backwards with a crash. At the door a tall,thin tanned boy,probably about my age stood at the door. He had spiky black hair and dark brown eyes. Like Nico,he wore full black.

"Uh...Penny Jackson?" the guy asked.

"Penny? Someone's here to see you." Piper called out. Penny walked out of the kitchen,stopping when she saw the boy. It was hard,but I could see his eyes widen a bit. Penny's eyes darted amongst all of us,then back at him.

"Uh..yeah?"

"Luke told me to give you this." He held out a lack jacket. Penny walked towards him and took it from him.

"Woah,I totally forgot that he borrowed it from me. Thanks." She nodded. He gave her a tiny smile and I saw Penny's cheeks go a bit pink. Oh boy.

"Wait." Percy put his hand up "Do-Do I know you?"

"What?" The boy asked,looking confused. Percy looked even more confused.

"Have we met?"

The guy raised his eyebrows "Sorry man,never seen you till today. Later." He added towards Penny,who gulped. Daphne closed the door,giggling.

"Looks like someone has a crush on Anubis!" She grinned. Penny blinked,her cheeks going more pink.

"What?"

"Anubis Black. I met him the other day. And I think he likes you.."

"I don't like him." Percy frowned. Apollo crossed his arms.

"Me neither." He growled. Daphne gave him a tiny smile.

"Oh babe,it's cute seeing you jealous! Don't worry,I won't be leaving you for anyone,no matter how handsome or amazing they are-"

"What? No,that's not why I don't like him-"

"Don't worry Daphne. I don't think he'll be leaving you for anyone either." Penny said coldly,storming away into the kitchen. Apollo looked like he had been punched in the face. But it was Percy who looked extremly distract and surprised. He put a hand on his forehead and winced. I stared at him expectingly.
