Chapter 1: Girls Night
Annabeth's POV
"Shoot!" I hate being late; I checked my watch, two minutes till the lecture, "great, just great!" I am going to late for on the first class of this course, just perfect. Nice Annabeth! I thought to myself.
"What's up?" one of roommates, Hazel asked, looking up from her computer screen, which seemed to be playing some stupid show about zombies, or vampires, or werewolves or a combination of the three.
"I am going to be late to class! Have you seen my text book with the green cover on it?" I asked in a panic.
"Um no, maybe its on your bed under all of those papers." She suggested going back to watching her show and munching on chips, my chips actually.
"I looked already- oh here it is! Good, okay see you later!" I hurried out of our dorm suite, which I shared between three other girls: there is Piper who is beautiful girl of Cherokee descent. She has dark skin, chocolate brown hair that is cut choppy and uneven with thin strands braided on either side of her head and eyes that change color like a kaleidoscope going from brown to blue to green. Her dad is like crazy famous actor but she doesn't like to talk about. Honesty I don't see many movies so I didn't know what the fuss was about on my first day. I saw a couple of his movies with the girls they were pretty good. She has boyfriend named Jason and he is hot, tall, blond who is sort of quiet but he seems nice and he is really sweet to Piper so in my book he is a good guy.
Then there's Hazel who is also very pretty and has crazy curly golden-brown uncontrollable hair, rich coffee colored skin and gold colored eyes, so basically she a knock out. She has a boyfriend named Frank who's huge and very muscular and would be very intimating but he has a baby face and a sweet smile. He is very clumsy which also ruins the jock look.
Next we have Rachel Elizabeth Dare aka 'red' a wild child artsy type who is sometimes referred to as a slut. I mean its not like that's a bad thing, people like sex, she just likes it a little more than others. She, like hazel, has wild curly hair but hers is red. She is paler then the rest of us and her nose is sprinkled with light dusting of freckles. Also unlike the rest of us in suite 3G besides me, she is without a boyfriend but she does um… let's call them 'bed buddies.'
I guess I should introduce myself as well my name is Annabeth Chase, I just turned 17 and am a freshmen at Columbia university in New York City, I know what your thinking you're pretty young to be a freshmen, uh-oh are you one of those smarty-pants, overachiever, know-it-all types? My answer to that would be yes, yes I am and proud of it! I am from California where I lived with my dad and my bitch of a step mom. Life pretty much sucked so when I was pretty young I decided to get out of there as soon as possible. The only way escape I saw was leaving for collage so I worked hard and skipped sophomore year and got in to a school 2,413 miles away.
I walked to the lecture hall quickly and made it just in time to hear the professor introduce himself.
"Hello my name is professor Blowfis and I will be teaching you about the wonders of the art of English literature, lets begin shall we?"
The class was almost two hours long but, time seemed to go faster. Professor Blowfis was an excellent teacher, he made this require course very bearable. He almost made me reconsider my major, which was architecture and my passion.
"All right that's all we have time for today; I know its tragic huh?" he said giving the class a smile, obviously being sarcastic. The class chuckled, "see you all on Monday."
As I entered the common room of 3G at about 5 o'clock, after class and a couple of hours at the library. The place smelled of toxic make up and strong sickly sweet perfume, the combination smell like desperation.
"Hey guys," I said tiredly knowing what was about to come.
"What's shaking bacon?" Rachel asked cheerfully, one eye covered in sparkly eye make up that I have yet to learn the name of, let alone master the art of applying.
"You look like Ke$ha," I said collapsing on the worn couch and putting my feet on the coffee table.
"I'm going to take that as a compliment," she said, going back to the mirror make up brush in hand.
"I would," Piper said coming out of Rachel and Hazel's room in a simple brown dress but when she moved Annabeth could see tints of twinkling gold thread that seemed to have been weaved into the fabric. "Can I wear this?"
"Sure, sure it looks beautiful on you!" exclaimed Rachel.
"So what's with playing dress up you going anywhere?" I knew that answer but asked anyway.
"Come on Annabeth do we have to go through this every Friday? Friday means girls night out and since you are a girl you must come, it is mandatory to have fun in collage even if you don't want to and that's final so start getting ready." She turned back to making herself look like a showgirl. I groaned but I knew it was useless, after begging and begging all last semester they all had made me go very Friday, apparently I was to much of a workaholic and I 'needed to have a little fun' their words not mine.
"Stop complaining and get moving. We are leaving at six." Piper said but she smiled kindly at me.
"Ugg fine but I am not heels again, those things are going to kill me," I said.
"Fine drama queen! Now get dressed." Rachel said as she put a ridiculously large earring on and eyed it in the mirror critically for a while then, obviously displeased with the look, took it out and put on some silver hoops.
"Come on I'll help you," Hazel said coming from the bathroom where she had just finished drying her hair.
"Thanks but I think I can mange," I said I didn't mean to sound so bitchy but I hated getting dressed up.
"Well someone grumpy," Piper said smirking.
"I think that someone need to get laid tonight!" Rachel called from her bedroom.
"Don't even think about trying anything," called back at her.
"You ruin all the fun kill joy!" she responded coming back out in a tight short black flipper dress that showed her body off really well.
"Damn!" Piper said and giggled, "you look hot!"
"Why thank you," Rachel smiled, then looked back at me, "seriously you need some fun and some passion it will be good for you."
"First of all it joy kill not kill joy, second I'm fine without passion and third of all you know it is possible to fun without sex right?"
"You don't know what you're missing," Piper said giggling again.
"Guys come on leave her alone, she's young," Hazel said poking me in the stomach, "no need to pick on the little one."
"Hey! Shut up!" I frowned as all three girls laugh but that just seemed to make them laugh harder. "If you don't stop laughing then I am not coming tonight!"
That made them stop, I knew they were just kidding around but I was tired of being made fun of for my age.
"Okay we're sorry," Rachel said.
"We were just kidding sweetie," Piper said, smiling at me in a motherly sort of way that made my stomach twist, no I told myself, don't think about that.
"Whatever," I muttered. "So where are we going tonight?" I asked trying to sound interested.
"Well I was thinking that teen club on 12th" (A/N I have no idea but just go with it)
"Oh sounds well… that sounds um cool I guess," putting as enthusiasm as I could, it didn't really work well though.
"Are Jason or Frank coming?" I asked trying to stall the painful process of get ready for a night at a club.
"No of course not silly! Its girls night, no boys allowed," Rachel said triumphantly, Hazel and Piper looked a little less pleased with the announcement.
"Now come on time to get fabulous!" Rachel said taking my hand and leading me into her room, which looked like a bomb had recently gone off, a bomb with clothes as shrapnel.
"Oh jeez, kill me now," I muttered.
"Okay so lets see, hm… maybe," she lifted up a pink puffy dress, I looked at it in horror she can't be serious!
"Or maybe hm…" she held up a dark purple dress, it actually didn't look that bad. It had a V-neck and came in at the waist with a thin black ribbon that acted as a sort of belt.
"Definitely, go put it on," Piper said and Rachel handed it to me.
"Fine," I said, going behind the changing screen.
"Perfect!" Hazel said coming in.
"Turn" Rachel said studying me critically.
"You look beautiful Annabeth," Piper said as I turned dully, "now come on let's do and hair and face!"
I groaned, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Yes," all the girls said at once.
"Come on I promise not to much make up, just enough to make those eyes pop and a little pink on your lips okay?" Piper assured me.
"Okay, okay but only if you do it, not Rachel."
"Hey I am amazing at make up!" Rachel said huffily.
"I am not into sparkles," grinning at her.
"Well you are just not amazing enough to pull them off like say moi," she said loftily.
We laughed and Piper got to work on my face and when she finished I had to admit I didn't look half bad. She had put some slightly sparkling grey and purple powder on my eyelid and drew with what looked like a black colored pencil on my "water line" as she called it. She put some mascara on me as well, which was pretty much like painting your eyelashes black with a tiny paint brush and black gooey paint; sort of creepy but it did look pretty good not that I would ever admit that to them.
Hazel was working on my blond hair with a brush and a curling iron. I wanted to asked why she was curly my already curly hair but I had learned along time ago not to ask about things concerning this type of thing.
"Fabulous if I do say so myself," Piper said proudly. "Now for just a touch of lip stick," she carefully selected from what was actually a pretty organized display of lip colors. Hazel must have organized them. "Here this is perfect," she applied a little on, it was light pink barely noticeable.
"Nice!"
"Absolutely!"
"Perfection!" all the girls exclaimed, I rolled my eyes but I had to admit they did a good job.
"Here put these on," Rachel pushed some grey pumps my way.
"No I am not wearing heels!" I said.
"They are only like three inches, come on they will look fab- wait for it- ulous! Please!" Rachel pleaded.
"I said no!" I said firmly.
"Come on for your very best friends in the whole world?"
"Yeah please!"
"You need to its life or death!"
I sighed, "well I guess three inches its that bad but if I can't walk tomorrow I am making you all carry me around!" they cheered.
"Yay, lets go!" Hazel said, all them were grinning from ear to ear.
"We are picking up Thalia on the way, kay?" Rachel asked.
"Wait I didn't know she was coming! Awesome!" I grinned too, maybe this night wouldn't be that bad.
