Tracy Benton

(AN: Hi, I'm back, this time with an idea suggested by princesskadybug08, hope you enjoy it!)

You know it's been an interesting day when the most popular girl in your grade turns out to be some sort of mythical warrior. Let me explain...

My name is Tracy Benton, I have long brown hair and blue eyes, and I should be the most popular girl in class. Turns out I'm also 'clear-sighted', whatever that means. The only reason I'm not the most popular is because of that bitch Annabeth, everyone thinks she's the most beautiful being to ever grace this earth. Or at least until today.

We were all sitting in English listening to our teacher lecture us about the proper way to write sonnets when we heard Annabeth's name over the loudspeaker. That was strange because you only got called on through the loudspeaker if it was an emergency. Everyone dreaded hearing their name, 7/10 times it meant someone you knew or loved was in the hospital or dead. Annabeth's head snapped up from whatever weird architecture plan she was working on, her face white and worried. She rushed out of the classroom so fast she left half of her stuff behind, perfect for snooping in. 

10 minutes later, our teacher left us to our stupid sonnets, going off to some teacher meeting or something. It was the perfect opportunity to dig up some dirt on Annabeth. My bestie and I were rummaging through her papers when a phone went off. We all checked ours quickly, but we soon discovered it was Annabeth's phone. My bestie looked at me, looked at the phone and smiled. 

"Should we answer it?" she asked me 

"Um duh, of course we're answering it!" 

"Hello? Annabeth? It's Percy, where are you? I called the office like 10 minutes ago, and we sorta need you here... Annabeth? Are you even there? Dam Leo and his stupid phones... of course it isn't working" 

We assumed whoever was on the phone would hang up, I mean who would be calling Annabeth in the middle of school? But he didn't, we heard him put his phone back in his pocket, assuming he just forgot to hang up. This was the perfect opportunity to spy on Annabeth, she'd show up and we'd get to find out what she was doing! 

The rest of the class gathered around the phone with us, all listening for the telltale sound of Annabeth's voice, but what we heard next was even weirder than that. 

"SCHIST, ANNABETH ARE YOU OK?" 

The same male voice we heard earlier, accompanied by a quiet squeal and a growl. Then there was a tiny squish sound (AN: I looked this up on Reddit, it sorta makes this sound when you stab something.) a non-human scream and then nothing. 

"ANNABETH?" 

"Yeah Percy, I'm fine."

 "Oh thank the gods, I thought you were dead for a moment there." 

"Hey seaweed brain, why exactly did you bring me here?" 

"Some idiot from the Hermes cabin decided it would be a funny idea to let a bunch of monsters in as a prank for capture the flag, and you can probably guess how that turned out. We've got 13 kids in the infirmary and more out trying to stop the rest of them, we really need your help." 

"Lucky for you, I'm here now, and ready to kick some monster ass." 

"It might happen sooner than you think, they're coming in this direction." 

Then we heard some more weird sounds, the sound of a sword being drawn from a scabbard, battle cries, and lots and lots of very colourful curse words. After about 5 minutes of intense slashing, yelling and a tiny bit of sarcastic laughter, silence fell. We all looked at the phone, thinking maybe someone had accidentally hung up, but instead, we heard the loudest victory cry any of us had ever heard. And then we heard something really unexpected, the faint sound of kissing. No, not kissing, full-on making out. We were about to hang up in disgust when we heard Annabeth say something.

"Percy, why do you have your phone in your pocket? You know you're not supposed to take it into battle, just in case it breaks." 

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Hang on, I'll get it out and make sure it's still working... oh, I forgot to hang up." 

"Hang up on who?" 

"When you didn't show, I called you, but your phone didn't seem to be working." 

"Percy, that's because I left my bag at school... but if someone answered it that means my whole class was probably listening... schist, they probably heard the whole thing!" 

That was when they hung up, we all sat there in complete shock. Annabeth had a boyfriend? And what were they battling? And what were they talking about when they said 'Hermes kid'? I had so many questions, and I was about to talk to my bestie about it. but then something weird happened, every single person in the class got a blank look on their faces and went back to work, like nothing had ever happened. I just sat there, confused, until about 10 minutes later when Annabeth walked in. I noticed she had a bloody tear in her t-shirt, going down her side. I walked up to her, about to ask her about everything, but before I could say anything she pulled me out into the hallway.

"Tracy, is it? You're not to speak a word of what you heard over the phone to anyone, ever. No-one in class remembers anything, and the only reason you do is because you're clear-sighted. If you can, forget this ever happened, it's better that way." 

She walked into class, grabbed her stuff, and left the school. I never saw her again, but I would always wonder who she really was.

(AN: I really hope I got this right, also I'm sorry that there isn't much percabeth fluff in this, there will be next time. I actually reached 1000 words this time! Also, I have a question, do you guys like it when percabeth kids are named after dead people like Charlie, Bianca, Zoe etc.? Thanks, Iris 🌈)
