Percy

Something freaky is happening.

I'm sure you've probably already realized this but what with a Griffin turning out to be a nurse that was about to kill me and all, it just keeps popping into my mind.

It's been a week since Annabeth dragged me out of the school and told me everything that had happened.

I wasn't that surprised when she'd told me, which concerned me. I mean, sure, I was kind of confused on how exactly this was even possible. But I was barely surprised.

I don't know, it was like I was used to this happening. Like it's happened before.

I mentally slapped myself for thinking that. Of course I couldn't be used to this. I'm pretty sure if it had happened before I would remember...

Well, that's freaky, considering I can't really remember anything before waking up in Pennsylvania.

There are small clips and dreams that I have, but they seem to unreal to be true...

Anyway, what concerned me most was going back to school. Annabeth and I had decided to just skip the rest of the school day to figure out what was going on but that was a week ago and we haven't really talked since.

I wanted to talk to her though. For some strange reason, there was a small part of me that was aching to see her and I don't know why.

We barely figured anything out though about what was happening and I was still hesitant to tell her about my apparent memory loss.

We'd both agreed to just steer clear of doing anything that would possibly send us to the nurse's office, which was fine for me because I'm not really into sports.

I'd also figures out that I had two classes with Annabeth. Science and History. And today we were being assigned partners for a project in History.

A part of me wanted to be partners with Annabeth, but the other part was telling me I was acting to clingy. I barely even know her, anyway.

All of the sudden I stumbled backwards, crashing into a grey-blue locker in the empty hallway of the school and clutched my head.

I clamped my eyes shut tightly as images sprouted into my eyes. Flashes of people I couldn't recognize and an older man in a wheel chair dotted my vision and disappeared as quickly as they had come.

I blinked a few times and settled my queasy stomach before shaking my confusion off and jheading quickly to History.

Those quick flashes had been occurring more and more through out the week and it was getting harder to hide it from my mom. I knew if she found out she would take me back to therapy even though I knew they wouldn't be able to help me.

I again felt strange as I walked into the medium sized classroom that almost everyone except for Annabeth were seated in their plastic red chairs.

I frowned slightly, walking over to my seat near the front of the class and wondering where she could be.

As if on cue, Annabeth hurriedly walked into the room, her curly blonde hair slightly messy in a pony tail at the back of her head and a frown hidden behind her guarded face.

I wonder what had happened. Did what happened to me also happen to her?

I quickly banished the thought, knowing it wasn't possible nor logical that we would both feel the same pain and see images in our minds. It just wasn't likely.

She glanced at me as she walked by and I gave her a small smile. She returned it and walked over to her chair, quietly plopping down into it right as the History teacher, Mrs. Kay, walked into the room, her cold eyes staring around the classroom to make sure everyone was here.

No one dared being late to History class. Mrs. Kay would give you the scariest death glare of all time with multiple detentions, just because she could.

She really was a cruel teacher.

When she realized we were all here, she closed the metal door and walked to the front of the room.

"You will each be assigned a partner." She snapped, earning a few disappointed looks from the students who wanted to choose their partners. "You will not speak as I call off names. When I am done, you will find your partner and choose a topic off of the sheet of paper located on your desks. A full report on the topic is to be presented to the class in three weeks. Are we clear?"

We all nodded and she turned to look at something on her teachers desk.

"Lana and Jacob." Mrs. Kay stated and Lana gave a look of horror as Jacob grinned at her and we all knew that wouldn't end too well since Lana has hated Jacob since she was seven.

"Darlene and Krissa. Samuel and Tyler. Garret and Sara..." I tuned out of the names being called and quietly tapped the end of my pencil on the deal, waiting for my name to be called.

It seemed like forever before she finally decided to pair me up with someone.

"Percy and Annabeth. Kaitlynn and Hailey. Hannah and Rebecca. Those are your assigned partners. Go find somewhere to sit because that's where you'll be for three weeks." Mrs. Kay finished and I blinked, not thinking I heard right.

Annabeth was my partner? I'm not sure if that was good or bad, but my heart sped a little faster at the thought.

"Where do you want to sit?" I looked up to see Annabeth staring down at me expectantly. I blinked.

"Uh, we can just sit here if you want." I muttered, gesturing to the empty seat next to me and she nodded, moving behind me to sit.

She pulled out the sheet with a list of various topics and I scanned it. "Which one should we do?"

The Civil War sounded cool, but my eyes kept looking back to the line that read Greek Mythology in bold and I pointed to it.

A look flashed across Annabeth's eyes and it seemed like recognition, but it disappeared too fast for me to know if it was actually there or not.

"Okay. I wanted to do that one too." She responded, nodding thoughtfully. She pulled pout a piece of paper and wrote the title on the top, adding the word 'Research' at the end.

"I can look up some Gods and Goddesses tonight. Can you do the Giants?" She asked and I nodded, making a mental note in my mind for later.

We talked the rest of class, mostly about the project but sometimes about other things like how we both had a dislike for gym class.

We'd decided to go to my house after school on Fridays and to the park on Wednesdays. I'm not sure why she didn't want to go to her house but I did remember her dsayin something about her step mom and I figured to let it go.

We never brought up the nurse though. I had a feeling we would talk about it later.

When the bell run I gathered up my stuff and walked out of the classroom. When my arm accidentally brushed Annabeth's, a tingling sensation ran down it and I mentally shook my head, again telling myself that I barely knew this girl and I wasn't going to have a crush on her.

She's just a friend. I though stubbornly.

No, she's not. My mind whispered back to me.

A/n~ So, demigods, how did you guys like this chapter? I know that I write more for the Percy and Annabeth chapters and that's only because I know more about them.

Thanks for reading! °Zee°
