After The War

Chapter 6

I'm going to change the tense in the books now, it's harder to right in present so it will be in the past kind of. Like its going on now, but it will be pastish. If that makes sense.

PERCY'S POV

Annabeth and I were heading to gym. Almost all the kids were out of the hallway, and in their classrooms. We walked down the hall quickly, and ended up at the gym doors. We entered just before the late bell rang. We stood by our friends. None of the kids were changed, so I took that as a good sign. But then, the coach had us go into the locker room and change.

Running out of the room I ran to the gym. Most of the kids were there.

Once everyone was out the coach had us go outside. Since it was warm out I was fine with it. I had been in worse temperatures anyway.

The coach had us walk to the track. We were going to race. He split the class into five groups. So people in each group. Me and my friends were all separated.

My group was the first to run. We had to run 100 meters and whoever got there fort got to race the other four who won.

We all walked around the track once.

We finished in like five minutes and then the people in my group got to the starting line.

There were two other guys in my group, Danny and Rob, they were annoying people who thought they were better then everyone, and they asked out Annabeth in front of me.

Then there were three girls. Two of them were the typical popular mean ones, Tiffany and Britney, who kept talking to me and flirting. The other girls name was Jessica. She was quiet and hadn't talk to me. I only knew her name because Tiffany and Britney made fun if her.

The coach, Jeff, blew a whistle so we line up and got ready.

He then shot his small fake gun thing. We ran. Tiffany and Britney were way behind me, and Danny and Rob were a few meters behind me too. The only one who I was having trouble beating was Jessica. She was right next to me.

We were about 5 meters away from the finish line, so I bumped up my speed a bit and got a few feet in front of her. They few feet were enough though.

Everyone cheered as I crossed the finish line. I breathed in really hard and went by my friends.

Connor quickly said, "Almost let a girl beat you man. That is not good."

"She was actually really hard to beat."

"Awe its ok you almost lost, but still won," said Annabeth mockingly.

"Ha-ha... Whatever."

I went over and grabbed a glass of water. It really helped and I felt my energy restore quickly.

I watched everyone else race as some of my friends won. Connor and Travis lost to a guy named Dave. Annabeth won her race. Rachel lost to a girl named Ashley. She was nice too. Katie lost her race to a guy called AJ. He was a jock, but he was nice.

The coach blew the whistle, and we lined up. I was next to Annabeth, who was next to Ashley, who was next to AJ, who was next to Dave.

"I saw you drink that water cheater," Annabeth said to me.

"It's not cheating. I was just thirsty."

Before she could reply, the coach blew the whistle. I started running. Quickly me and Annabeth out ran the others. Me and Annabeth kept switching places. One second she's first, next second I am.

We were getting closer and closer to the end when she says,

"Picture me naked."

My body freezes and she runs ahead and wins. I just stay still while they congratulate Annabeth. Annabeth finally came over to me with the rest of my friends. She snapped her fingers in my face a couple of times before I came out of trance.

My checks were really warm, so I guess that I was blushing. A lot.

"Wow. That really did something didn't it? I will have to use that more often."

She laughed and walked away after leaving me in shock.

Sorry I haven't updated. I went to a Spanish camp on Thursday and got back Sunday but I was really tired because it was like a 9 hour bus ride. And I was working on this for a while. It's short though. Bye.
