Percy Jackson One Shots

Fred James

Percabeth...always and forever. Warning: very cliché.

Fact. My name is Fred James.

Fact. I love math.

Fact. I live in San Fransisco.

Fact. I am seventeen years of age.

Fact. I go to Guilder high school.

Fact. I am a junior.

Fact. I am in love with my best friend.

Annabeth doesn't fit in any category. She's not a dumb jock. She's not a wimpy nerd. She's not a prep who spends more time looking in the mirror than at her work. No, she's so much more. She's an extremely smart, athletic, natural beauty.

And she's my best friend.

You might be thinking, why would she go out with you, dude? Your nothing special. You're not athletic. You're not the smartest kid in school. You're not even hot. How in the world would she like you?

See that's the thing. She's turned down every "special" guy whose ever asked her out. So my plan is to be as plain as possible. Become her best friend. Make her my girlfriend. And after just two weeks the plan's already half way complete. Now all I have to do is ask her out and make her my girlfriend.

"Fred? You with me?" Annabeth snaps her fingers under my nose.

I shake my head to dismantle my thoughts. "Yeah, yeah I'm here."

"Okay." She eyes me skeptically. "I just wanted to ask you if—"

"Hey, babe. I'll see you at my house at eight, okay? My parents aren't home." The star quarterback of the school comes up and pins Annabeth to the locker.

"No!" She spits in his face and kicks him where the sun don't shine. "I have a boyfriend you ass!"

I know what you're thinking. How can I plan to get her as my girlfriend off she's got a boyfriend already. Simple. The boyfriend doesn't exist. She just uses him as an excuse to refuse the idiots.

You see, no ones ever met this Percy Jackson guy. Apparently he lives in New York, one of the farthest places you can get while staying in the US from San Fransisco, also the busiest in America. It would be impossible to find the guy in that city.

"Anyways." Annabeth turns back to me as the quarterback hobbles off down the hall. "Percy — you know, my boyfriend — is coming to pick me up after school today, and at one point you said you wanted to meet him. Nows your chance, you still want
too?"

My eyes widen. How far is she going to take this nonsense? "Yeah, of course."

"Cool. Meet me on the steps."

"Sure."

She turns away and I'm left staring at her retreating figure wondering, how can a girl that beautiful and that smart, fool herself into thinking all this?

••••••Last Period••••••

The bell rings. A sound that's muffled by sighs of relief and feet stomping down the stairs. I find Annabeth by her locker.

"So, am I meeting this famous Percy Jackson, now?" I prayed that she would just turn to me and chuckle and say, you're sooo gullible. Now, I knew she'd never say it like that, but I was hoping for something at least similar.

"Well soon, he tends to run late for much things." This is just proving my case. There is no way she isn't stalling now. Being late? That's the most classic stall if all time. We all know this.

"Okay..." Come on, Annabeth, just own up to this. I know you don't have a boyfriend. I know you just want to date me.

"Considering he just left home at the bell, and that it's approximately an eight minute walk from the house, he should be here in another four minutes," she calculates.

"But..." I do some quick math in my head, "I thought you said it takes eight minutes to walk from his place. The bell only rang a couple minutes ago."

"It rang a minute and forty seconds ago. And Percy's not walking," she tells. Then she sits calmly down on the steps and brings her book out.

I stare down at her. When Percy doesn't come in four minutes, I'm going to kiss her. I promptly set my mental clock.

I start whistling.

Annabeth gives me no reaction.

I hum.

No reaction.

I start doing a really bad tap dance routine.

Nothing.

Come on Annabeth, give me something here. You can't read books all day.

Just as my mental clock is winding down into the last few seconds, a guy walks up the steps of the school and stops in front of Annabeth. I'll just say it, he's hot. Windswept hair, muscular body, perfect eyes, the works. Just the kind of a guy Annabeth will reject in a second. Before I can say anything, he crouches down.

"I was told to walk a beautiful, wise girl home," he says. "You coming?"

I smirk, waiting for the ultimate rejection and for Annabeth to fling herself into my arms and confess her undying love for me in front of this gorgeous, spoiled, rich brat.

But she doesn't.

Instead she just rolls her eyes and pecks him sweetly on the cheek.

Crap. Is this...is he...? Fluck. Percy Jackson. The New York boyfriend. Schist.

"You're getting lazy, Seaweed Brain," she tells him.

"I'm always lazy," he responds.

Annabeth laughs. A tinkling sound that makes my heart melt. "I know." She pokes him in his rock hard chest.

She can't have this jerk. He's lazy. He won't be able to take care of her. I will. I can.

"Annabeth, you going to introduce me." I let a little of what I call protective-boyfriend-voice creep into my tone.

"Oh, yeah, sorry. Percy, this is Fred. Fred, this is my boyfriend Percy."

I nod at him. He smiles at me and picks up Annabeth's hand. "Come on Wise Girl, let's go home."

She smiles up at him, like he's the light of her world. It's disgusting. They start to walk away from the school.

"Hey! Annabeth!" She turns back to me. "What about us?"

"Us?" she seems confused.

"Yeah! You know! You and me! Date? Boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Gods! Eww! Never! I have Percy! Jackass!"

And then they kept on walking. Out of the yard, and out of my life.

Gods, this guy's a jerk. I wasn't going to make him so...what's the word...jerk-y? Is that a word? Can it be a word? Cause I use it too much. Anyways, he was going to be nice...but hey, screw it.

Anyways, cause I probably won't have an update tomorrow or the next day, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Yay! 2016 is almost here!
