Mortals and Demigods

Annabeth Chase was definitely a lowkey badass, and would fit in with my group perfectly. My group being the 'cool kids'. Yeah, we were stereotypes, but the stereotypes start from some truth. In reality, I've been falling for her all semester, and winter break was about to start. I know girls love all the cuddly soft things about winter, and I, Nathan Richards, was going to win over Annabeth's heart.

Lunch rolled around, and I ended up behind Annabeth in line. She was chatting with one the her friends, listening to him go on about his weekend. I wanted to step in then, but I wanted her to see me as I am. Also maybe get some tutoring, she really gets history. Her friend got his lunch and walked away, leaving Annabeth to grab a little package of jello. I took this opportunity to clear my throat, making her look right at me.

"Oh, hi Nathan." She gave me a small smile and went back to grabbing a few pieces of fruit. I cleared my throat again, "Nathan, is your throat bothering you? You might have drainage, which is from congestion. Maybe go to the doctor or get some sudafed?" Annabeth offered, and I laughed a little, making her give me a slightly confused look.

"No, no, I'm not congested. Or have a stuffy nose, I-"

"Thats the same thing. Congestion and a stuffy nose..." She cut me off, nodding awkwardly before turning away.

"Annabeth, wait," I said, a bit quickly. We both paid for our food and began walking to a table, "Do you want to sit with me today? For lunch?" I asked, and she looked me up and down for a moment. It seemed like she was sizing me up.

"Sounds great. I've been meaning to talk to Jem anyway, I need help studying The Scottish Play. I'm not good with Shakespeare." She shrugged and began walking to my table. Annabeth needed help with a subject that I vaguely understood. Maybe I could help her, and help myself a bit in the process...

"I could help, I need to study it anyway. We are in the same English period, after all." I offered, and she replied with a grateful smile.

"Awesome, can we study a few nights this week? I know you have practice tomorrow night, so..?" She asked, sitting down next to my spot. I took the space next to her, ignoring my friends for a moment.

"Yeah, sounds great. Meet me after school?" I asked, starting to eat my sandwhich, and Annabeth gave me a nod before biting into her apple.

Notes

Hi!! I have returned! I'm splitting up Nathan into a few parts, even if they are short. If I mush it all into one it may end up rushed, and I don't want that at all.


Also, if you guys follow Of Vines and Men (an original of mine, or my own fic) I know I haven't updated yet, I keep changing the next chapter and want it be be perfect! I almost have it done, I promise!!

Thanks so much for reading!
