Mortals and Demigods

Carol Fitsburgh walked through the doors of Evergreen University. Carol’s brown, straight hair flew as she rushed towards the main hall. As soon she enters, her friends Pamela Craig and Mellie Sebastianca ran to her with joyful, enthusiastic eyes. Mellie’s blonde hair was tied into a long pony tail, some strands of blonde cascaded down her warm brown eyes. Pamela had a tannish, spanish skin tone and black hair. Her jade green eyes shone in excitement when she laid her eyes on Carol.
“Hey girls!” Carol greeted her two best friends. Pamela glanced at Mellie and giggled.
“We have terrific news!” Mellie announced as the three walked along the hallways, pushing past other students.
“Alright, what is it?” “A famous athlete is coming to visit our school!” Pamela and Mellie both squealed in exitment and started jumping up and down. Carol eyed her two friends as the three stood near the Marine Biology lab.
“Why do you guys care? I mean, sports is… sports right?”
“You don’t get it Carol. It’s the famous Percy Jackson!” Carol froze, her eyes wide open.
“Wh-what? Who’s he?” The hall-way suddenly turned quiet, the students all turned to look at Carol with their jaws dropped. Sean Emeral walked towards Carol with a confused and angry look, “You don’t know who Percy Jackson is?!”
Carol frowned, and scanned the hallway. All eyes turned to her with either angry or confused looks. “Umm. No..?”
“Percy Jackson is the hottest athlete ever! And he’s only 20!” Mellie told her, “He has won 3 gold medals in a row in swimming. He has un-controlable black hair and gorgeous green eyes. He’s every girl’s dream!” Carol still looked confused. She hugged her notebooks, placing the cold surface of the books on her sweater.
“So when is this Jackson guy coming?” Pamela crossed her arms and smiled.
“This afternoon, right after lunch. He’s going to the campus grounds signing some autographs with his team-mate Tucker Miles. ” Carol nodded and the three headed to their first classes.
The hours flew by in a flash.
Carol, Pamela and Mellie raced towards the grounds seeing other students standing around, feeling excited. Carol saw Annabeth Jackson, a super smart student and her tutor, sitting under the nearby trees. She had an opened book in her hands and she seemed very interested in it. Carol ignored Annabeth and suddenly heard a car, screeching to a stop.
“OMG, he’s here!”
Carol had to plug her ears to keep her from going deaf. All the girls squealed while most of the guys cheered. Carol saw a stretch limo surrounded by guards. One of the guards walked to the back door and opened it. Out came the most beautiful man she had ever seen. He wore a black suit with an ocean blue tie. His midnight black hair was a mess, like he had never brushed it before. His sea-green eyes were bright, like his beautiful white smile. The girls starting attacking the guards just to get to the man.
This must be Percy Jackson, Carol thought seeing her best friends along with the other girls, trying to get to Jackson. A tall man scared the girls, and stood up straight.
“HEY LISTEN UP. MY GUARDS HERE WILL SET A TABLE SO YA’LL CAN GET YOUR STUPID PHOTOS SIGNED BY JACKSON AND HIS TEAM-MATE. PLEASE NO HARASSING WITH THE ATHLETES GOT THAT?!” The guards started getting a folded table towards the concrete and chairs. Jackson, and another guy about 3 inch shorter than him with the same appearance sat on the chairs and took out markers. The other girls looked like they were about to faint. They held posters, paper and notebooks when they got in a line. She saw Annabeth lifting her head up towards the table with an amused smirk. She shook her head while chuckling and went back to her book. When it was Pamela and Mellie’s turn, Percy stopped signing papers when he saw Annabeth sitting under a tree.
“Excuse me.” Percy told Pamela as she set her poster on the table. Pamela nodded, confused. Percy took off his tux, folded the sleeves and ran towards Annabeth, his tie and hair flying. Percy slowed down as he got near her. Percy leaned against the tree and said something. Annabeth looked up, her eyes on Percy. She stood up, grinning and wrapped her arms around his neck, while Percy’s hand rested on her waist.
“What is that bitch doing to my future boyfriend?!” A popular chick, Charlotte Fletcher demanded. Percy pulled away from the hug and kissed Annabeth right on the lips. Some girls cooed at the sight of the couple, but some gagged and scoffed. Percy smiled as they both broke away from the kiss. Annabeth told Percy something and Percy replied back. Percy waved Annabeth a good bye and raced back to the table. Pamela had a shock look on her face as Percy signed her poster.
“Uh-um. Wh-what were you doing wit-with Annabeth?” Percy looked up, raising a brow.
“She’s my wife.” Oh, Carol thought, Annabeth Jackson and Percy Jackson. Now that broke Pamela. She ran away, with her poster still left behind on the table. Percy stared at the running figure of the girl and shrugged. Carol reached to Pamela’s poster and smiled a friendly smile at Percy.
“I’ll give this to her.” Percy nodded and greeted hi to the next person in line.
