Remember Me For Centuries

Chapter 4

Uh... What?

I don’t even know my teachers name. I think It’s something like Blowfish, eh, who cares anyway. Speaking of blowfish, I haven’t heard from the dad lately. Thank gods. Maybe he’s finally given up trying to talk to me. Woohoo. “Percy” Mr Blowfish called

“Percy Jackson”

“Oh, um, Here?!” I called back. Everyone in the class laughed at me

“Percy, I was asking how you pronounce this word” Mr Blowfish said pointing to the jumble of words on the blackboard

“Um… I have absolutely no clue” I tell him shaking my head. “Sir”

“I literally just told the class, Percy.” He sighs “Start paying attention”

Nah. I tell him in my mind and then go back to daydreaming. ‘I wonder what I’m having for tea tonight? I think Mum mentioned something about making cookies with Tyson, hopefully she has, her blue cookies are the best. I manage to avoid doing work for the rest of the period and as soon as the bell rings I grab my bag and sprint out of the classroom towards my next class, History with the Stolls.
—————————————————————————————————————

History’s one of my favourite classes, the teacher Mr Ares always goes on a rant about some war and nothing can distract him once he gets really into it, we all get away with murder.

Connor and Travis Stoll are my favourite set of twins. Not that I know many twins. Connor and Travis are identical with their brown hair and blue eyes, Connors just a little bit shorter. They play for the football team and are the only reason I go to the matches. That and the fact Annabeth drags me along so she can support Luke. Ugh.

Anyway, history dragged on forever. Mr Ares was talking about some war or another and all I could think about was… food. Thank god It’s lunch next. When the bell finally did go I practically ran out of the class. I quickly ran to my locker to get the books for my next classes. I closed my locker and was about to go to the cafeteria when I heard someone shout behind me.
“Hey! Jackson!” I turn to see Luke and Ethan walking towards me.

“What?” I ask tiredly. I just want food, is that too much to ask?

“We wanted to ask you a question buddy” Luke says putting his arm round my shoulder, Ethan walking on my other side.

Ok… What is happening.

“Uh… what?” Luke ignored me

“I’m having a party in a few weeks for my 17th birthday… why don’t you come along?”

“Uh… what?” I was ignored again

“Bring a few friends” he told me as he started walking away. “Make sure you tell Annabeth”

Ok… I’m confused.

————————————————————————————————————— “Guys” I started as I sat down next to Annabeth at the table with my lunch “You will never guess what just happened”

“Luke invited you to his party?” Thalia guessed

“Yea- wait, how did you know…?”

“He invited us too” Hazel, Frank and Zoe nodded their head.

“I don’t understand why It’s so surprising” Annabeth exclaimed “Luke’s a good guy!”

“I know” Thalia said gently while smiling at Annabeth.

“Anyway…” I coughed “Annabeth. Luke told me to tell you that your invited”

She was about to reply when Will, Bianca and Nico sat down at the table. Will had his arm around Bianca’s shoulder and Nico sat down next to Zoe, who gave him a kiss on the cheek. Oh I forgot to tell you, About a year ago Will and Bianca started going out and a few weeks after Rachel left Zoe asked Nico out, and he surprisingly agreed.

“We just got invited to Luke’s party” Bianca informed us “So did we” everyone chorused

—————————————————————————————————————
The day went by pretty quickly after that. After lunch I had Marine biology, I love that class, I just don’t love the teacher or people in that class. Luke especially. He kept spitballing me. It was annoying, but after that I had math. I actually quite like math. Surprised? Well math is the only class that I have to tell Annabeth what to do in. Don’t get me wrong, she’s still a genius and all that but… she sits next to Thalia and all they do is talk. So I end up having to tell her what to do and to top it off… I get bragging rights!

When the bell went after school Annabeth and I walked back to our apartments. When we got their I noticed a car that I’d never seen before sat out side our building.

A brand new blue Ford F250.

This is my dream car. Well, that and a blue Maserati but this ones on the list. I walked past it and up to my apartment. Annabeth followed me in. My mom was sat at the kitchen table, colouring in with Tyson. Tyson look up at me as I walked in and grinned at me. Then he saw who was behind me and practically screamed with joy.

“Annabeth!” Annabeth walked over and sat beside him.

“Well…” I sighed grabbing a cookie and jumping up onto a kitchen counter “I feel loved”

“Deal with it Seaweed Brain” Annabeth said grabbing a pencil and starting to colour something in “I’m more loveable than you”

I just shake my head and nod along sarcastically but, internally I agree with her. Then I remember the car.

“Hey, mom” I start. She turns to look at me. “Who’s trucks out front. I’ve never seen it there before”

“Ah, I need to talk to you about that but don’t say a word until I’ve finished” She sighs while standing up. I nod. “It’s yours. It’s from your dad and you’re taking it because I can’t afford one for you. Your dad kindly offered to buy you a car and I agreed. I don’t want to hear another word about it. Here’s the keys. Now go”

She handed me the keys and started pushing Me and Annabeth out the door.

“Jeez Mom.” I say turning to talk to her “I’m not an idiot. It’s a free car and to top it off. It’s a free Blue F250.”

“Good. Now take it out for a spin” She said slamming the door behind me. Thank the gods I got my licence a few weeks ago.

“I wish we could swap moms.” Annabeth said laughing as we walked down the stairs and out of the building.

“I don’t” I say shaking at the thought.

“Why, whats wrong with my mom?” She asked giving me a look as I unlocked the car and we sat down in it.

“Are you being serious?” I ask, giving her an incredulous look (Yes I know what that means… kinda).

“No” She laughed. I put the keys in the truck and put my seat belt on. I turned to Annabeth.

“Put your seatbelt on” I instructed. She gave me a weird look but put it on anyway. I turned the keys in the truck and we drove off into the sunset.

Nah, just kidding. We drove off to Thalia’s.
