Mortals Meet Percabeth

Stacy Chapmann

A/N: Due to a personal error, I accidentally published this story before I finished typing it. I might have been about a paragraph in, so there wasn't much. I wanted to thank those of you who read the first paragraph of this for not calling me out on it. Anyway, here is the completed version of my story. I know it's late, but I wanted to make sure it was perfect. Also, please please PLEASE comment on future chapter ideas. I'm not a very creative person and I'd love any character/plot suggestions. Thank you!

Hello pheasants. Stacy Chapmann here. I'm an NYU cheerleader at NYU, in case you didn't know.

If you've never heard of me, you're such a liar. There is no way in heck that you haven't unless you've been living in a desolate part of the world that doesn't have WiFi. 

I'm a media darling. Instagram can't get enough of me. I've got tons of followers. People are all over me, asking me to do things like pose for them or tell me I could be a model. I'll settle for a cheerleader.

Annabeth Chase was such a loser. But of course, she had the hottest boyfriend, Percy Jackson.

Not only was Percy hot, he was super popular and really funny. He might not be the brightest cookie but, please, you can't have everything.

I sashayed up to Percy, smiling. I mean, Annabeth was right next to him but really, who cares? "Hey Perce."

He looked at me, eyebrows furrowing. He wrapped an arm around Annabeth's waist and pulled her up to him. She dropped to book she was holding and bent down to pick it up.

I took my chance.

I stretched up on my tip-toes and kissed Percy right on the lips.

He made a muffled sound of surprise but froze under my touch. Then he jerked away.

I turned to see Annabeth staring in horror.

I smirked triumphantly. "He's mine you little-"

I couldn't finish my sentence because at that exact moment, Annabeth burst into tears and fled from the scene. 

Then the hall burst into laughter. I laughed too until Annabeth came back. She was smiling, all signs of her previous episode gone.

Percy was still laughing. Annabeth walked up to him and kissed his cheek. "I can't believe she went for it!" he chuckled.

Annabeth giggled. "I can. It was my plan."

Then a howl ripped through the laughter. It went silent.

A large lump collided with Annabeth and knocked her over. 

Annabeth kicked it off and threw what appeared to be a pencil at it.

The pencil lodged itself into the side of the wolf, or what I assumed was a wolf, and then the wolf howled.

Percy got out what looked like a ruler and ran up to the wolf, hacking at it fiercely.

The wolf made a final, angry howl, before bounding out of the hall in a flurry. 

Percy was standing, breathing harshly, with minor injuries.  

Annabeth was on the ground. She had a long cut across her cheek and another cut slashing through her shirt, exposing her skin. She was (unfortunately) unconscious.

I laughed and the whole hall turned to stare at me.

I continued to laugh. "I can't believe she fell for it!" I giggled, trying to recreate what Annabeth had.

The hall stayed stubbornly silent and I succumbed to the uncomfort too. 

June Traon came up to me, frowning. Then she slapped me. "How dare you."

A/N: June is not incredibly popular. She has light brown hair, and green eyes. She's very pretty by standards and is good friends with Annabeth, being incredibly intelligent. She is nerdy, and sticks to plain, casual clothes. June almost always has her hair down.

"How dare you. You slapped me!" I cried. 

June's twin sister, Janett, came up, siding her sister. "She is defending a friend."

A/N: Before I describe Janett, please note that they (she and her sister, June) are not identical twins. They do not look the same though they share similar features. Now that that's clear, know that Janett is gorgeous. She's very popular. Janett has light brown hair and hazel eyes. She is not friends with Percy or Annabeth but is very friendly. She knows Percy slightly better because she is very athletic and participates in many school offered sports, including the swim team. Janett always dresses according to modern styles and is very fashionable. She loves to do her hair up differently each day, depending on her mood.

"A friend?" I scoffed. "Please. Annabeth's a nobody people hardly care about!"

"Excuse me?"

I turned to see Percy glaring at me. "What did you say?"

I snorted. "I said, "Annabeth's a nobody people hardly care about!"

Percy glare melted into one of pity. "I'm sorry you think that. Because," he raised his voice, "Annabeth is the best person you'll ever get to know. She's smart and she's pretty but above all, I love her. She's the best thing that ever happened to me and she means the world to me. If you think otherwise, I pity you, because that probably means you never got to know her. Because I'm sure that if you did, you'd love her just as much as I did."

"Oh my God." a girl next to me whispered. "That was soooo romantic!"

Percy smiled at Annabeth, who grinned weakly back.

He walked over and pulled her to her feet. Then he kissed her.

It was a gentle, yet passionate kiss, as if the one they had now might be their last. I glared, seething from the sidelines, but I knew that in their world, they saw nothing but each other. 

There was nothing I could ever do to change that.

And that's how I met Percabeth.
