6. College AU!Percy x Reader

Imagine... meeting Percy in college.

You were shaken awake on a Monday morning, dreading your first day of college.

"Get ready (y/n)," your dorm mate, Annabeth, said. "You can't possibly be late for your first class of college."

You've known her for years. You guys decided to go to the same school last year and requested to be roommates.

"Give me a couple minutes," you mumbled groggily, while sitting up. It was about six-twenty in the morning and you're deeply regretting staying up late last night watching YouTube videos of Olympic swimmers. The reason for that is that you're on a full scholarship for swim as well as a few others in your university. One name that you did know was Percy Jackson. You didn't know how he looked like, but you've heard a lot about him on campus. Well to be fair, videos that were posted online about him were always bad quality. Plus, he doesn't have social media accounts.

You got ready for school, doing your normal morning routine. You dressed decently but you weren't in the mood for wearing make up. Sure it was the first day, but you had swim practice after your seven A.M. class.

It was about six-forty-nine when you were ready.

Annabeth threw you a protein bar on your way out the door. You slowly made your way to class while eating the bar Annabeth gave you; your class was in walking distance from the dormitories.

You arrived on time thankfully, the same time that others were shuffling into the classroom.

You were surprised by how many were in your Mythology 100 class.

Most people sat on the right side of the room, where it was practically full. So you sat on the left side; the empty side in the second row. You didn't want to sit in the back because you'll get distracted easily.

Everyone took their seats when the professor came in with a bright smile on his face. He introduced himself as Dr. Kursman and didn't hesitate to dive into his lecture.

"Everyone take out your texts books and flip to page seventy-three--"

That was when he burst into the classroom.

He was handsome. He had raven colored hair with a gorgeous pair of green eyes. He wore a Hawaiian shirt with a pair of khaki shorts. "I-I'm sorry, professor. My roommate, Jason--"

Dr. Kursman silenced him. "Please, take a seat."

Green eyes' gaze swept across the rows of full desks and that's when you realized there was only one left: the one directly next to you.

You couldn't help but stare as the young man rushed his way to the empty desk.

You noticed the tattoos he had on his forearms (which you found very alluring). He was very tan, as if he spent most of his time outdoors and in the sun.

You avoided eye contact as he reached his desk, pretending to be too caught up in your readings.

"Excuse me," he whispered huskily. "What page are we on?"

"Seventy-three," you answered quietly, feeling a blush rise to your cheeks. Now that you faced him directly, you couldn't help but notice how beautiful his eyes really were.

Oh gods, you sounded pathetic. You barely knew the guy.

You watched him open his bag and take out a monster energy drink. He cracked the lid off his coffee and poured the entire drink into his coffee.

He caught you watching and smiled. "You know, I'm probably going to die," he said with a chuckle.

"At least you'll be wide awake for the rest of the morning," you grinned, already liking the gentle and friendly nature he radiated. "It's going to suck once the caffeine wears off."

"It's definitely worth it," he shrugged but remained smiling. "So, what's your name?"

"I'm (y/n) (l/n)," you said, turning more red with each growing second.

"Well (y/n), it's an honor to meet you," he said extending his arm to shake your hand formally. "I'm Percy, Percy Jackson."
