People Meet Percabeth/One-shots

Victoria Fletcher

(AN: Hey guys, sorry I've been a little less active than usual because season 5 of She-Ra just came out on Netflix. Ok Anyway let's just get on with the story I know no-one likes authors notes.)

Do you ever regret something so much that you die a little inside? I did something today that was just so embarrassing I want to crawl under a rock forever. I should probably tell you a little bit about myself before I begin the story. I'm really tall and gangly... like, you know that movie tall girl? That's me, but instead of a clear face and long blonde hair, I have freckles and short brown curls. As you can probably tell I'm single, and maybe I could have walked off the beach with someone if I hadn't done what I did.  

Today was the first day of summer, and I woke up super early to go to the beach. My friend, Gabriela, who goes to another school, was invited to a party on the beach, and she asked me to go with her. I was ecstatic, I hadn't been invited to anything in what felt like years! So when I woke up I got dressed properly for the first time in what felt like forever. I put on my favourite pale blue one-piece, some black denim shorts, and a see-through white mesh t-shirt. Perfect beach outfit! I knew there was no point putting on makeup because I would most likely go swimming, and by the time Gabriela came to pick me up, I was ready.

When we got to the beach the first thing I noticed is that the beach was super busy. Gabriela pointed to the pier. 

"Omg I am so excited, last time there was a party we all took turns jumping off the pier! And there are so many hot guys in my class... maybe we can even find you a boyfriend!" She gushed.

 I sighed and rolled my eyes, she was so obsessed with finding me a boyfriend. I mean, how hot could the guys in her class even be? 

As we got out of the car and walked down to the beach, I could almost feel my legs burning. I pushed the thought out of my mind, I was here to have fun, not to fuss about getting burnt. I noticed that Gabriela was swinging her hips a little more than usual, and I nearly started laughing at her. But when I saw the boys she was walking towards, I understood what she was doing.

In front of my were some of the hottest guys I had ever seen, all wearing swim trunks. My eyes fell on the one in the centre, oh my god he was hot. He had messy hair and green eyes, and he had an extremely defined six-pack. From where I was, he looked perfect, and I knew he was the guy I wanted to keep. 

The party was amazing, I didn't really go swimming because I discovered that it's not really what you do at beach parties. Although some of the boys basically stayed in the water, including the green-eyed hottie. I was quite happy just to watch him play water-volleyball with some of the guys. I did notice that there was one girl in the water, she had long curly blond hair tied into a bun on top of her hair, and she was wearing a grey bikini. She was being very touchy-feely with my green-eyed hottie, which made me grumpy. Who does she think she is stealing my guy?

We all eventually made our way down the pier. There was a little ice cream shop, and we all bought one and sat with our legs dangling towards the water. I was having a great time at the party, and I was starting to feel like I might have some friends, when I made the worst mistake of my life. The whole trainwreck started when I saw the blonde-haired girl from the water (I learned her name was Annabeth) corner the green-eyed hottie (who I now knew as Percy). She kissed him straight on the lips, but before I could watch anymore someone walked in front of me. By the time they got out of the way, Percy was walking off and Annabeth was just standing there. 

I was offended on Percy's behalf, she just kissed him and he didn't seem to want her to! I saw the opportunity to take revenge when she walked over to the edge, and so I followed her. I so deeply regret what happened next that I may never forgive myself. I walked right up to her and pushed her off the pier. Now, this would've all been fine if the rock hadn't been there, the pier only hovered above the water by about half a metre. But instead of her just falling into the water, she hit her head on the rock and didn't resurface. People started screaming for Percy, and he ran up ice-cream in hand. When he saw that Annabeth wasn't there, he immediately dove into the water.

About a minute later, he resurfaced, an unconscious Annabeth in his arms. He somehow managed to get out of the water without even dropping her, all while giving me an incredibly dirty look. As he turned around to try to bring Annabeth back to life, I noticed something I hadn't before, his back was riddled with scars, but when I blinked they were gone. That wasn't even the weirdest thing that happened, he somehow managed to get the sea-water that must have been clogging Annabeth's lungs to fly out of her mouth. He didn't even perform CPR and she was coughing and breathing again. After watching this incredibly strange display of lifeguarding skills (or whatever else he was using to get her to start breathing) I signalled to Gabriella that I wanted to leave. She just gave me a dirty look.

And that is the story of how I ended up walking all the way back to my house, wallowing in the fact that I could have killed someone today, and humiliated the hell out of myself as well.  

(AN: Thanks for reading and for 3.3K reads! I'm always grateful for everyone who votes/follows as well! Anyway, my recommendation for the week is to watch She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, it's really, really good. One more thing, do you guys care about the description of the character who the story is told by? Lots of love, Iris 🌈)
