Annabeth POV
Full count. Two outs. Runners on every base. Scores tied. Last inning. I see a gap over the third basemen's head. That would definitely get me a grand slam if I can get it there. I look at my best friend Allison on third. She gives me a "fake a bunt and then hit it as hard as you can" signal. The pitcher pitches the ball so I square around and the third basemen charges to the plate. I turn back and hit the ball as hard as I possibly can. It goes straight over the third basemens head, goes past the left fielder and lands by the fence. I take off. My best friend already made it home by the time I'm half way to first. I may be fast, but she's like twice my speed, and was leading off. I round second and am on my way to third when I see the ball. The left fielder has it. She tries to throw it to second. I don't get some people. I mean I've already passed second, why throw it there? I think to myself as I step on third. The second basemen is holding the ball, watching me. Before she throws it to the pitcher, I take off for home. Stupid, I know. The second basemen, throws it home, but overthrows it, thankfully. The catcher turns around, as fast as she can, and chases it. I'm almost to the plate when she comes out of nowhere. I jump over her and land right on the plate.
Maybe I should introduce myself. My name is Annabeth Chase. I'm the first basemen on our team, the Firebirds. I have blonde curly hair that goes to mid back and startling gray eyes. I'm tan and skinny and medium height. Just like my best friend. I never introduced her. Her name is Allison. She talks a lot and she's our third basemen and catcher if Thalia is gone. She is like me. Tan and skinny. The only difference is she's short. Very, very short. She's around 5 feet. She has dark brown hair. It goes to her waist and it's super wavy, almost curly, and she has hazel eyes. I've known her since we were practically born. We're neighbors so we spend everyday together. Our teammates names are: Thalia Grace she's the catcher, Piper McLean pitcher, Bianca di Angelo second basemen, Katie Gardener short stop, Silena Beauregard right fielder, Juniper center fielder, and Clarisse La Rue most of the time she's our left fielder but on occasion when Katie is gone, she fills in.
I run into the dugout with my teammates all patting me on the back. I grab my bat and glove since I already have on my helmet and batting gloves. I take them off and throw everything into my bag. I get my Gatorade and practically chug the whole the down. Allison is already talking my ear off about how great of a player I am and how that was an amazing hit and if I would've struck out she would've killed me. Yada yada yada.
Our coach's name is Jordan Wisnieski. Yeah I know. I think it's French or German or something, but it's pronounced WIZ NESS KEY. She calls us over to give us our "after game speech".
"GUYS GUYS GUYS! Amazing game! You have no idea how proud I am to call you my team. But what's one thing we need to work on?" No one answers so she keeps going "NOTHING! That's what!" we all erupt into cheers. "Alright" I yell "Hands in!" everyone puts one hand in the middle of the circle. "Allison call it out"
"Kay! ONE TWO THREE" then we all yell Firebirds at the same time.
It's a Friday so Allison and I will most likely go to On The Border and then to her house to have a sleepover.
We run to her car and start driving. She turns to me and says "On The Border?"
"Do you even have to ask?" we both laugh "your house or mine after?"
"mine if you want. I'm pretty sure my dad isn't home so it'll just be my mom." she says, tapping her thumbs on the steering wheel.
We drive into the parking lot and find it to be packed.
"Wanna go somewhere else?"
"Hell no! This is our special Friday night place!" I exclaim, throwing my hands up in the air.
We walk in and it isn't too bad. We have to wait about 10 minutes cause it's just us two. We walk through the doors to the outside tables, we sit down in the far corner at the table our waiter leads us too. We say at the same time to the waiter:
"The usual."
"Comin' right up!" We come here after every game, unless we can't. We usually can and we usually have at least three games a week.
"Hey!" she says after the waiter is gone "I hear there's gonna be a new guy on Monday! I wonder why he's coming after testing. Do you think he's gonna be cute? Oooh what if he is?"
"Uh Allison? What about Jon?"
"What about him?"
"He's your boyfriend remember?"
"Whaaaat…? Ohhh yeah! Silly me!"
"How are you guys doing by the way? I didn't see him at our game earlier."
"Fantastic! He had plans with the new guy! He's coming over on Monday and we're going to the lake on the last day of school! Which is in like a week right? We have this week and then 3 days right? Ooh it's gonna be so fun! Maybe if you hook up with the new guy then you can come too! Well you can come anyway.. I just thought it might be awkward and you might feel like a third wheel…"
"Woah! Allison. Honey? Slow down. We don't even know the new kid yet." I say to her.
"I think his name is Percy! Interesting name huh? I think it's so cool!" She says talking with her hands.
"Percy? Yeah, I guess it has a nice ring to it."
"We should have them come here! Oooh! I'll call Jon!" she whips out her cell and presses 18. That's her favorite number and his.
I should tell you a little bit about Jon and Allison. They don't like being seperated. They're together most of the time. They've been together for about six months and are still not out of the Honeymoon stage. Which is very unfortunate for me.
"They're on their way! Hey you wanna know something interesting? Percy is a baseball player too! It's like a male version of us! Isn't it? Oh my gosh! I bet you and Percy are gonna make an ADORABLE couple! I bet when you guys see each other you'll look into his eyes and he'll look into yours and you'll both just melt! Can you say cheesy? I would crack up if that happened!" She says slamming her hands down on the table to exaggerate.
"How do you say all that in one breath?"
"It's really easy actually! Well maybe it's only cause I sing too. See? LALALALALA." She actually can sing, she just finds it more funny to burst my eardrums.
"Thank you. My ears are now bleeding." I say to her.
She flushes and says "Maybe my singing will help them." And then she proceeds to scream at the top of her lungs 'Set Fire to the Rain' by Adele. She somehow makes me hate that song.
After a full 3:56 seconds (Yes, I was counting.), she looks at me, smiling like a little girl, twisting her dark brown ponytail. She says "How was that?"
"What am I gonna do with you?" I say putting my hand on my forehead.
"Uhh, keep me I guess?" She says, shrugging.
"Well, I can't get rid of you, can I?"
"Why would you want to anyway." Says a deep voice from behind us.
Allison looks up. "Jon!" she practically jumps out of her seat, runs up to him and hugs him tight, like she hasn't seen him in 50 years.
"I missed you too AlliBear." He says then gives her a peck on the lips.
A guy with raven black hair and sea green eyes was standing behind them. So I got up and said
"so you must be Percy."
"And you must be Annabeth."
"How did you know that?"
"He talks about Allison a lot."
"I see. So I was brought up in the conversation as well?"
"Well how could he talk about his girlfriend without bringing up her best friend as well?"
I laughed "That could be pretty difficult considering we're with each other 24/7. So how do you know Jon?" I ask.
"We're neighbors."
"Oh I see." I hear someone clear their throat behind us and we turn around.
Whoops. Jon had already slid in next to Allison, so obviously Percy and I had to sit next to each other. I slid in the booth across from Allison. She mouthed 2 words to me 'someone's flirting.' Then smirked at my reaction.
She then turned to Jon and he grabbed her hand and they started a conversation. So that left me with Percy again.
"So are you going on the lake trip with them?" he asks.
"Well I was thinking about it. She invited me when we were in the car. I mean I'll have to talk to my parents about it first, but probably cause they trust her and her parents. Are you?"
"Yeah. I think. Jon invited me earlier too. Even though we met today, he still invited me. I asked my mom and she said that it was fine for me to go as long as she met Allison's parents. She's still thinks I'm 12."
"No dad?" I ask. Yeah maybe I was being nosy, but I'm very curious.
"Dad didn't stay around. He got my mom pregnant and left."
"Jackass."
"Tell me about it." he said.
We turned around and I realized the guys haven't ordered yet.
"Guys don't you need to order?"
"We ate earlier." Jon said.
"Okay! Well so what have you guys done today?" Allison asked.
"Well" Jon started "After school, Percy and his mom came over to introduce themselves and our moms got talking and so we started hanging out in my room. After that, we went to Taco Bell" Allison's face looked disgusted when he said Taco Bell.
"I can't believe you like Taco Bell" She said to him
He laughed "Just because you got in a fight with that waitress a few times doesn't mean the restaurant is bad."
"She was practically throwing herself at you! I'm sorry, but people like that make me angry. It's like she had a big sign taped to her forehead that said 'I'm easy! Come screw me!' she had no class! It felt good to poor that coke down her shirt."
"Someone was just jealous" he muttered loud enough for her to hear.
She laughed and punched him in the shoulder. Well looked whose flirting now!
I think she realized this so she turned back to Percy and me and we all started a conversation. Our food came so we ate and made very few comments. We were starving. Playing a game that hard takes a lot out of you. Soon after we were done and waiting for the check. It came so we paid and left. We had to go our separate ways so of course Jon and Allison got all cuddly and lovey dovey. So AGAIN it left Percy and me.
"Well see ya I guess." he said.
"yeah." I walked up to him and gave him a hug. He wrapped his arms around me and I realized I liked being in his arms. He was buff and tall and strong. But he was also cuddly. Like a big teddy bear.
We stood there for a while. Then Jon cleared his throat and Allison was standing there grinning like a maniac.
'what?' I mouthed.
"Well bye guys!" she yelled and pulled me away to her car.
When we got in she said "well looks like someone hit it off!"
Well how was it? Did ya like it? If you did REVIEW! PLEASSSEEE! I BEG OF YOU! that's all i askkk!(:
byyyyyyeeeeeee!
