Forever- a Percabeth story.

Chapter 14

Percy

I silenced my alarm and woke up to Annabeth's text

A: 8/10 for the first one, 4/10 for the second one.

I smiled, I knew she would like the first one better. I hoped she had gotten done whatever work she had.

I was psyched that it was Friday, I knew we'd all be hanging out tonight, we usually did every Friday.

And I felt better after talking to my mom. I was determined not to get into trouble at school today. Also, I was going to try to talk to Annabeth about Wednesday night, maybe she was still thinking about it too.

Or maybe she doesn't think anything of it and you're being stupid.

Yeah, that's a possibility too.

I showered and got dressed. Paul was already gone when I got downstairs, and mom was getting Tyson out the door.

"Bye dear! Have a good day!" She said grabbing her keys.

"Don't mess up today." Tyson said.

And then they were gone.

"Great advice." I called back to him just before the door shut.

I grabbed a granola bar and a banana. My phone buzzed with a snapchat from Rachel.

She sent a cute selfie with her coffee.

I checked the time. I needed to get going. I grabbed my backpack and headed out.

Rachel was in math before I was, with two coffee cups at our table.

"You really shouldn't have." I smiled at her.

"Who says it's for you?" She grinned back. She was wearing a cropped tie-dye sweatshirt and light pink jeans.

I didn't say anything but I took out a marker and wrote my name on it.

She giggled. "Okay, fine. It's for you."

I took a drink. It was amazing.

"Seriously, how did I live without this stuff before you?" I asked.

She shrugged "No idea." she said.

I noticed that sketchbook again under her binder.

"Okay, tell me about this." I tapped it twice 

She smiled "What do you want to know?" She pulled it out and flipped through it. 

"Well, do you draw?" I asked her, tilting my chin to see what was inside it. 

"No actually," she sighed and turned it towards me "I'm a photographer, I work in film." 

When I opened it I was surprised, it wasn't a sketchbook at all actually. There were polaroids  and other printed photos tacked in the book, along with dates and times. 

"I call it my collection of moments" She said thoughtfully. 

"That's really cool, Rachel." I told her. 

The bell rang and Mrs. Dodds started up on the lesson.

"Thanks" she whispered. 

"Settle down everyone, today we start going over what's going to be on our test next week, pay close attention." Mrs. Dodd's announced.

"So, this party," Rachel started to say as class ended and we gathered our stuff.

"You already said you'd go. You can't get out of it now." I joked.
