Interesting Encounter

Chapter three

Percy

I was walking over to the rode to make my way home, when I noticed something under a tree, a tree I hadn't noticed until now. I walked over to the tree and saw it was a black book with a skull on it, I leaned over and picked it up. despite my dyslexia I managed to read the biggest words on the front property of the mystery boy. mystery boy? who was that? I squinted at the scribbled words underneath of it dont't know who I am? well I would put my name, but not even the principle knows it!

it must belong to that boy I saw under the tree earlier, what was his name again? I glanced at the book in my hands expecting to see a name. "idiot" I mumbled under my breath before slipping the book into my coat pocket. I'll return it next time I see him.

"who's an idiot?" a voice came from behind me. I turned and saw Annabeth holding about six books with a seventh one opened on the top of the stack. her head was so bent over just to look into the book that her glasses where falling strate down from the bridge of her nose.

I laughed and said "its nothing. I just got confused and it was really stupid." she looked up at me with her glasses all crooked and grinned. "that's my seaweed brain!" she said and bonked my nose. I laughed and said "is that the same book you where reading when you got here?" 

she looked confused and said "what? no! I finished that book hours ago! this is the book I was reading at lunch, its really good and I'm almost done!" she was grinning like a mad man and her glasses where still crooked. "two books in a school day?" I was impressed.

she frowned and said "your right. thats a new low." I laughed so hard I thought my sides would explode. "now thats ma wise girl" I said and fixed her glasses.

everyone seemed to think we where dating, but we werent, we where just really really close friends. but the fact that we tesed each other, and held hands, and had nicknames for each other, and where always fixing each others outfits, didn't mean anything. were just friends. besides! neither of us are straight, so...well......I think Annabeth is bi cause she used to date this guy Luke, who aparantly totally betrayed her then saved her life and died doing it to make it up to her, but latley she's always staring at this girl Thalia, and I'm pretty sure theres something shes not telling me.

"well, kelp head, I should get going." Annabeth said and kissed my nose. "wanna come over?" I called out to her, she or Leo or Reyna almost always came over after school, or I went to there house. But Reyna was with Marcy and Leo was busy working on his next invention. 

"sorry Perce, I can't." Annabeth said. "well why not?" why didn't anyone want to come over? was something wrong? "family stuff." Annabeth said but she didnt sound to sure. "you can tel me, I won't judge." I reassured her. "well my dad wants to get remarried to this girl, but she's not very nice, at least not to me. and when ever I try to tell him that he says well your never home so how could you know? so I need to go deal with that. but I'll see ya tomorrow!" 

and with that she turned and walked away. I sighed. something was defiantly going on that no one was telling me, but why? why would they keep something from me? as I began to make my way towards the side walk when a voice called out "Percy! don't leave yet!" I turned around slowly and saw it was Drew and her team of girls. they where all in there cheer leading outfits (witch consisted of basically a bikini top and a short skirt), and I wasnt even sure if cheer leading was happening today. 

I sighed and said "what do you want?" she grinned and said. "so, you and Annabeth....?" the girls behind her chuckled. "no. not happening. not now, not ever." I groweled and began to turn away when a hand was placed on my shoulder spinning me around. it was still drew.

"are you suuuuurrree? I wont tell a soul!" Drew said twiring a strand of hair between her fingers. most of Drew's friends where basically sticking there butts in the air, it made me wanna barf. "yes drew, I am sure." I said. "aww, but you to would be so cute together!" one of the butt-shaking-girls said. I groaned. could I get no time to myself?

"hay! leave him alone!" a voice called from behind me. a girl with brown hair down in a side braid and very pretty eyes came up next to me. "you need to give him a break! last week you where all shipping him with Reyna! and then with Leo! and now with Annabeth? what next!?" she sounded truley pissed, and it was good to know someone cared.

"whateva" Drew said and turned to go, but then she glanced back at me and said "see ya around, Perce." then with a wink she walked off.

I turned to the girl and said "uhhh. thanks?" she just grinned and said "no problem." then she stuck out her hand and said "Piper Mclean." I took it and said "Per-" but she cutt me of saying "Percy Jackson. I know who you are. your top of the swim team, your the most popular boy around, your every girls dream man. or at least, thats who your supposed to be. I guess you get tierd of everyone acting like they know you when you've never talked to them."

I grinned and said "see? you know me so well already!" she laughed and said "well, I gotta get going, but I'll sit with you tomorrow?" I nodded and waved goodbye before walking over to the sidewalk.

I thought about what she had said every girls dream man I laughed at the thought. I'd rather be every boys dream man, but hey, I'll take what I can get. I made my wa back to my house and flung the door opened.

"MOOOOOOM I'M HOOOOOOMEEE!!!!!!!!!!" I called as I dropped my bag on the floor. "HANG UP YOU COAT! I'M IN THE KITCHEN!" she called back. I took off my coat and put it on the hook, but as I was walking away something fell out of the coat. I leaned over and picked it up. it was the book.

 I quickly put the book in my bag and ran into the kitchen. "hey sweetie. how was school?" my mom asked. "oh you know, the usual. nothing special." she laughed and nodded. "well, how many girls hit on you today?"

I thought for a moment befor saying "Drew, a girl I don't know, Rachel, Calypso, and another girl I don't know each hit on my about 5 times." My mom just laughed harder and said "well, today were having speghettie and meat bolls. so you don't have to worry about that" then my mom laughed harder. I grinned and threw a croupled up napkin at her before grabing my bag and heading upstairs.

I plopped down on my bed and opened up my bag. inside was homework, homework, homework, and the book. beacuse I didn't feel like doing homework, I picked up the book. I know its not good to look at other peoples stuff, but its not like I'm telling anyone, right?

I opened the book slowly and saw a drawing of....me. I gasped, it was definatly me. and along the sides it said I wonder how his lips taste? does that mean, the owner of this book, the so called mystery boy, liked me?
