Head Under Water

Chapter 3

Sorry again for the shorter than usual chapter. Im having some problems and need to focus on them.

The music played loudly in his ears, as he ducked and weaved around the other people on the sidewalk. He only stopped occasionally, and arrived at his home just on time.

He opened the door and entered the small apartment, then he poked his head into the living room area, just so his mom knew he was home. After that, he walked to his room, kicked off his shoes, and fell onto his bed. It was a few hours until he woke up and realized he must have dozed off.

He pulled his laptop out and started doing his homework. But it wasn't long till he got distracted and started watching videos on Youtube.

A knock on his door made him quickly switch back to homework. "Percy, dinner is ready" Sally said as she opened his door.

"Ok mom, i'll be right there." Percy said back as he closed his laptop.

He left his room, closed the door behind him, and made it to the dining room. Paul glared at him from the other end of the table.

"Percy, do you want to tell her or should I?" Paul said as he picked up his fork.

"uhm.. I... ah..." Percy stumbled through his words and Paul rolled his eyes.

"Percy was late for class again. And as school policy states, he needs to get a tutor." Percy's eyes fell as Paul said this.

"Percy, you said you were gonna try harder this time..." Sally said as she put her fork down. "Paul, do you know who the school board will pick?"

"Yes i am aware of who, and Percy already met them today" Paul said to Sally.

"Who" Percy finally spoke up.

Paul smirked as he spoke. "That pretty blonde who I paired you up with in class. Annabeth"
