Percy Jackson X Reader

Chapter 6

About a week later

"Remind me again, why am I coming with you?" You hurried to keep up with Percy's long stride.

"Because you need to go to school."

"Fine, let's become Goode acquaintances with Goode High School."

He laughed and you let a smile grace your features. Ever since Annabeth's little "talk" with you, you were nervous about getting too close to Percy. You were terrified of that girl. Percy seemed to sense that something was off because he turned to you with concern written all over his face.

"You ok?"

"Yeah," you forced a smile on your face. "Just nervous about meeting so many people."

"It'll be ok, I'll be there!" He slung an arm around your shoulders and you tensed, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Race you?"

"You're on." You darted out from under his arm and dashed towards the entrance of Goode High School. You should have been in 8th grade, but you were able to skip a grade because of all the research you had done outside of school to pass the time. You felt warm arms around your waist and the lack of air beneath your feet.

"Percy, put me down!"

"But you're as light as a feather, and so much fun to annoy."

"Please." He set you down and you lightly swatted his shoulder. You walked up with Percy to see his mom's boyfriend.

"Hey Percy, Y/N. Glad to see you here-"

"Paul, is there a back entrance?"

"Yeah just around there-"

Percy dragged you away as Paul stood there with a confused look on his face. Once you got into the school and started heading towards the gymnasium, you looked at Percy.

"What was that about?"

"Um, it's really noth-"

"Hello Perseus Jackson."

BOOM!

You and Percy along with that Rachel girl landed in the grass outside the band room window. You and Percy continued rolling and when you finally stopped, Percy was on top of you with his arms still wrapped around your waist.

"Um, sorry." He stood up and offered you his arm. You grabbed it and he pulled you up.

"What was that? You better explain this time, Percy Jackson!" The red-haired girl stormed up to Percy.

You turned on him too. "Yes you do, how do you know this Rachel girl?"

He opened his mouth as if to answer, then the sirens rang through the air. "Ok, we have to go now."

"I'll just give you my phone number, you better call me." Rachel pulled a marker out of her pocket and wrote a phone number on Percy's hand. "Do you have a safe place to go to?" Percy looked at you and smiled.

"A safe place, you could say that."

*time skip*

You flopped down onto your bed and rubbed your eyes. Percy never had the chance to explain anything because Annabeth had commandeered him as soon as your presence had been made known.

"Y/N! Could you show the new kid around?" Beckendorf gestured to a boy who was about your age, maybe a bit older. With dark hair and hazel eyes, you had to admit that he was cute. Not Percy cute, but cute nonetheless. "He's a son of Aphrodite."
