It's Not Cinderella (percabeth)

Chapter five

———Annabeth's POV

After walking to school with Percy, I had a normal day of classes,(at lunch now) and it just so happens that none of my friends go to my school.

Such is life.

I took a bite of my ham sandwich.

"Hey, can I sit here?" I turned around.

"I'm new here." the girl who spoke had crazy red hair, green eyes and lots if freckles.

"Yeah sure!" I said, probably too enthusiastically. "I'm Annabeth chase."

"I'm Rachel Dare."

She sat down next to me and pulled out a paper lunch bag, and then started eating a salad.

"So..." I said after a while. "Where are you from?" I asked. Awkward small talk.

"Oh I'm from New York but I got kicked out of a private school so I came here!" she answered excitedly.

"Okay... cool?" I swallowed a peice of bread. She talks with run on sentences, I'm not sure if I like her. That's judgemental. You know what, nevermind.

"Hey do you want to come over later?" she asks.

"Oh um... I'm not sure I probably have to get home..."

"No really, it will be fun. You should come over."

That's kinda fast friendship... stranger danger allert was going off in my head. I agreed anyway.

Other than that, the day was pretty normal.

————Percy's POV

After the bell at the end of the day, I ran to my locker and shoved my stuff in it.

Today my cousins were coming over so I wanted to be home when they got there. last time I wasn't, Thalia ate all the cookies and duct-taped Nico to the wall.

As soon as I got home, i heard a car pull up behind me. Just in time.

Right when I finish unlocking the door, Thalia tackled me to the ground.

"Hey cuz!!!!"She ruffles my hair and then punches me in the stomach.

"Hey." I groaned slightly.

Then she got up, with Nico standing behind her. She was wearing the usual- black jeans, combat boots, and a death to Barbie t-shirt. (With lots of eye liner and spiky hair, obviously)

Nico looked about the same as her.

Yes, that's an insult.

"Guys can we go inside now? I have to finish this level," he says.

And obviously, he's staring at his phone.

"Sure." We all walk inside.

———-Annabeth's POV

After school, I went to Rachel's house.

And let me just say, she's kinda awesome. I probably should betray my gut instinct and intellegence more often. Ha. I'm funny.

So yeah, she's awesome.

And really good at art.

We swam in her pool, played minecraft, I know we're nerds, and then I looked at her paintings before I went home, at about 9:30.

I drove down the main highway, and turned on the radio.

I hear my phone vibrate, so I take it out and check.

Susan: hurry up and get your lazy bum back to the house

I sigh, then look back at the road.

Oh my god.

I slam on the breaks.
