Chapter 4

Sorry for the feels in the first part of this chapter hope this hilarious pic cheers it up!!! 💔💕

Annabeth's POV

After Hazel convinced me to head home and stop obsessing over nailing her in the face with a soccer ball I finally gathered together my things. I wandered out into a parking lot when I couldn't help but notice Percy also heading towards his car. The flashback of me falling onto Percy slipped through my mind when I shoved it away. He locked eyes with me causing me to fluster then turning away. I hopped into my dads Prius revving up the engine to hear it die. I cursed in my best second language, Greek, then I twisted the key once again.

On the front of the car shone a light blinking:
Low Fuel

I punched the steering wheel in frustration and slunk back in my chair. I heaved a breath when a sudden knock hit my window. My eyes lingered over to make contact with sea green orbs and a small smirk forming on a familiar face. I rolled down the window allowing the boy to speak openly.

"Hey." he grinned cheekily draping his arms across my window.

"Hey..." I replied uneasily. I could feel my hands growing moist while my legs shifted uncomfortably.

"Your car okay?" he wondered noticing the blinking warning across my dash.

"I've got low fuel, it's alright. I'll have my dad pick me up." I reassured him when he furrowed his eyes then sending me a questioning look. "Really. It's fine."

"I heard you're going on a triple date tonight with Jason, Piper, Drew, Octavian, and I." he recalled twiddling his fingers and scanning my expression.

"Yeah....." my voice was barely audible.

"Octavian, huh? Didn't know you were into show offs." he stated chuckling slightly.

"Didn't know you were to sluts." I retorted mumbling a bit. He snickered agreeing then his eyes drifted away from mine searching the permitter as though seeking something. "Percy, is there something you need? Or can I call my dad now?"

He seemed hurt by my sudden interjection and sighed, "How about I just take you to the date tonight. I'll drive you there and we can meet up with Octavian and Drew." he suggested once again meeting his green eyes with my stormy gray.

"I don't have my outfit... and to be honest I have some work that needs to be done with my hair." I explained delivering yet another emotion of hurt forming on his face.

"Why?"

"Why what?" I studied his odd mood.

"Why Octavian?" his voice seems to angrier by the minute, maybe even with a hint of jealousy. No. Percy Jackson is not jealous of you going out with Octavian. He doesn't like you ,Annabeth.

"Because the guy I care for doesn't bother to acknowledge me except after/before school." I couldn't believe I actually admitted it through my gritted teeth. Why was he doing this? Was it some kind of joke? What's going on with him? His he toying with my emotions on purpose? Did Jason put him up to this?

"Maybe the guy you care for can't waist time with nerds. He needs a reputation." his tone was almost a bark.

"Well.... I'm sorry you feel that way." I bit against my lip diminishing the tears begging to brim my eyelids. I shoved past him slamming my Prius door behind me.

"And where are you going?" he chuckled shuffling behind me.

"I'm walking home." I snapped facing him causing him to halt. I was inches away from his face, scowling at him. I pressed a finger against his chest causing his breath to hitch. I could breath in his salty aroma radiating from his chest. He always smelled like salt water and chlorine. "I'm not sure what has gotten into you Persues Jackson but don't drag me into it. You can go find your little whore and make out with her all you want. But I want no part." and with that I left the black haired boy silently arguing with himself in the parking lot.
