The Swap

Chapter 6: The Search

Percy POV (in Annabeth's body)

I had a little panic attack when I first realized what happened. My train of thought went haywire as I stared at Annabeth's face even though I (Percy Jackson) was looking into the mirror. 

Then, I realized that this had to be some stupid dream, so I slapped my cheek hard.

OW. GOD DAM IT. 

I stared at the red mark on Annabeth's (well, now my) face. Despite Annabeth's face getting slapped, I was the one who felt the pain. 

Annabeth didn't have an alarm, so I was late waking up. While I didn't understand what was going on, I knew that I had to find Annabeth, who was probably in my body. I had to get to school as soon as possible. 

However, it was difficult because I had to pee so badly. I've seen girls cross their legs when they try to hold in their pee. 

It didn't seem right to see Annabeth's naked. 

I spent ten minutes trying to hold my pee in, but I knew that I'd spill soon. I tried distracting myself by looking around Annabeth's room. It was a simple room with the bare minimum inside. The only distinguishing factor was the fully-stocked bookshelf. 

My mouth let out a whimper as my legs shook. Dam it. 

I quickly ran towards Annabeth's bathroom that was fortunately in her bedroom. I quickly dropped my pants and started to pee in front of the toilet. 

However, I totally forgot that girls had to sit on the toilet. After some pee splatter and lots of cursing, I sat on the toilet bowl. Gods, now, I had to shower as well. 

Annabeth probably wouldn't appreciate it if her body walked into school smelling like pee. 

To be honest, Annabeth had a very attractive body. She had golden blonde princess curls and a slim, fit figure. Annabeth was also taller than the average woman, but she still had curves. I couldn't deny that I took in Annabeth's hot physical appearance while cleaning up. 

Despite the freaky situation, I didn't completely hate it ;)

However, once I got dressed in jeans and a red t-shirt, I decided to find Annabeth (ie find my own body). 

Gods, I missed myself so much, I thought as I stared at Annabeth in the mirror. 

This was totally bizarre, and I didn't understand it at all. 

I realized that I didn't want to interact with Annabeth's family because they'd immediately know that something was wrong. As such, I ran out of Annabeth's home.

I completely ignored her mom yelling behind me. 

It was a good thing that I ran out because the bus just started pulling onto Annabeth's street. A few seconds later, and I would've missed my ride to school. 

Considering I've never seen Annabeth drive a car, I was certain that Annabeth rode the bus. My assumption was confirmed when the bus stopped in front of me at the neighborhood intersection. 

I, as Percy, haven't ridden the bus in years. 

Regardless, I sat in the first empty seat and prayed that no one would interact with me. Luckily, the bus was fairly empty, and the ride to school was quick. 

However, Thalia met me as soon as I walked into Goode High's main hallway. 

I was always told that the hallways were too crowded in the morning, but I didn't realize it till now. Usually, I was always late to homeroom due to swimming, so I never walked in the busy morning hallways.
