"Percy! Get your butt back here!"
"Never! You will never catch me wise girl…hahahaha"
"Come on we need to finish this song now"
"Fine, you win this time wise girl"
"You are such a seaweed brain, you know that"
"Yup" He said popping the p at the end.
Well I bet I have some of you guys confused, well my name is Annabeth Chase, I have long curly blond hair that goes to about mid back when I leave it down but I almost always have it up in a ponytail. I have stormy gray eyes; I also have a natural tan because I'm half Greek on my mom's side. Well that's enough on describing what I look like. I found this year that I'm half Greek and so my mom bought me this book on everything Greek from the Gods and Goddesses to food, but my favorite part about the book is that fact that it teaches you ancient Greek, so naturally I am now fluent in Greek.
Oh! Did I mention that I'm only 12 years old. Yeah I think I should have started with that tidbit of info because now you guys are going to be like 'Oh my god, I thought she was in high school,' well I'm sorry to say that I'm only in grade 6.
Now I shall tell you about my best friend in the entire world, Mr. Percy Jackson (a.k.a Seaweed Brain), now what should I say about him, umm what about the fact that he is like the most talented 12-year-old I know that can play the guitar, the drums and he can sing like an angel. Anyway for his appearance, he has shaggy black hair that falls into his eyes occasionally, in my opinion his eyes and his lopsided grin are his best features, I know this sounds weird coming from a 12-year-old girl but I speak the truth. His eyes a beautiful sea green and when he gets mad his eyes actually start to go dark but that is really rare because it takes a lot to get him mad. He too also has a natural tan like me and of course he is also half Greek on his dad's side. So when I found this out, I taught him ancient Greek so we could go around school having conversations and nobody would understand.
So now we are currently writing a song together because we both want to become rock stars, but I must say that he is much closer to it then I am because his dad is a co-owner of Olympian Records, so his dad is trying to convince his brothers that Percy will become the next hit. The song we are writing is about a boy who is in love with this one girl and he has been all his life, and he has finally got the guts to tell her after years of silence, and by the end of the song he says that she is the one. I thought it was great idea, but what shocked me is that seaweed brain over her came up with it.
"Ok I think we're done" I said happily
"Yes, so let's test it out. But I want you to sing it with me, I'll still play the guitar, I just want you to sing too"
With a sigh I agreed to his terms.
(A/N: I don't really write songs so I'm just going to leave this song out but I'll tell you the last line. All of the other songs in this FF I'll put in)
"'Cause baby you are the one"
We finished the song with smiles on our faces because the song was great. I turned to look at Percy and saw that he had a frown on his face and was deep in thought.
"Percy what's wrong?"
"Oh it nothing" I could tell that he was lying to me.
"Don't lie to me seaweed brain, tell me what's wrong, I'm your best friend, we don't hide secrets remember"
"I'm going to miss this" He said really softly, I almost didn't hear him.
"Miss what?"
"This, you, everything" He said sadly.
"Why, what aren't you telling me" I had a very worried look on my face.
"I'm leaving in a couple of hours, my dad got me the record deal" He said with a frown on his face
"I'm sad that your leaving seaweed brain but isn't this what you wanted to be a rock star?"
"It is, but…"
I cut him off "No buts, I'm going to miss you seaweed brain, but I want you to promise that you will never forget about me, and that you will use the song that we wrote for you album" I said all of this trying to hold back all of my tears. I hated crying in front of him, it made me feel weak.
"How could I ever forget about you wise girl, you are my best friend and I'll talk to dad about the song because he has to ok the song till I'm 17 which really sucks because that means I have to listen to him about songs for the next 5 years"
"I just don't want to lose you"
After I said that, I broke down and cried. He got up and came to hug me.
"Don't cry Annabeth, it'll make it harder for me to leave you then"
"I'm sorry"
"It's all good" He looked down at his watch "I have to go now"
I hugged him even tighter, because I don't know when the next time I would see him again.
"Bye seaweed brain, I'll always be there if you need me"
"Bye wise girl, I'll keep my promise, I will never forget you"
He got up and left, I watched him go to his dad's car and he drove off.
I know what you are thinking, a pair of 12 year olds can't be that sappy, but let me tell you, it's always been like this.
Time Skip, Annabeth is now 17 and she still thinks about her seaweed brain and his promise even though it has been 5 years. Percy is also 17 and extremely famous.
Beep….Beep…..Beep….Bee
I slammed my hand on my alarm and rolled out of bed, it's the first day of my senior year at Goode High. I grabbed a pair of jean shorts and my brand new gray t-shirt that had an owl on the side of it, my best friend Thalia got it for me a couple of days ago. I ran for the shower before my brothers got it, I swear the take longer than me in the bathroom and I'm a girl.
After my shower I continued to get ready for the day, pulling my blond hair up into its normal ponytail, making sure I had all of my books and my keys then ran down for breakfast.
"Morning everyone" I said cheerfully
"Good morning sweetie" my dad said
My brothers didn't say anything due to the fact that their mouths were full of my step-moms pancakes, which I tell are really good.
I sat down at the table and started eating. I was about half done when I looked at the clock 8:15…..Oh my gods I'm going to be late.
I dropped everything and booked it for the door with my bag in one hand and my car keys in the other. I got out to my gray BMW and speeded off to school.
Gods that was close, being late on the first day of school would not be a good start of the year, I walked up to the school and saw my friends Thalia, Grover, Travis, Conner, Katie, Juniper, Clarisse, Chris, Silena and her boyfriend Beckendorf (Beck for short).
"Hey guys" I said with a smile
I got a bunch of "hey" and "Hi" back and Thalia jumping on me, what did she do this time.
"What's got you all jumpy this morning?"
"Oh nothing, I'm just a little hyper. I had a lot coffee this morning"
"Smart move Thals"
"I know" she said with a big smile and then the bell rang telling us to go to home room.
"See you guys at lunch" I walked off towards home room.
When I got there everyone was talking about something but I really didn't care, because I was the geek at school even though a lot of guys have asked me out but I turn them down. The Mrs. Jay walked to her desk and told everyone to be quite and go to their desks since home room is like 30 minutes long.
"Ok class, now that you have quietened down I have to tell you that we will have a new student tomorrow with us but he won't be joining us this morning due to his meeting with the principle."
After she finished tell us the rest of the announcements the bell went. Wow 30 minutes worth of announcements that's a first. My next class was math so I headed for that class even though we had a 10 minute break between home room and 1st period.
I sat at the back of the room and started to think of my seaweed brain again, it's been 5 years and I haven't heard anything from him, I was really missing him. All the girls in my school where absolutely in love with him because of his good looks and money, well I always laughed at them because they didn't know that we were best friends before he became a pop star. The first year of his career he did interviews and talk shows, they always asked who his best friend was and he would smile his lopsided grin the one he always gave me and said "Wise girl" never my really name, but I would notice when he didn't look at the person he would look right at the camera and say "Wise girl" like he was saying right me. I was interrupted from my thoughts when the captain of the football team started talking to me. Gods I hated him.
"What do you want Luke?" I said a little agitated
"I want to talk you out to dinner on Friday"
"How many times do I have to tell you, leave me alone Luke"
"Annabeth you should know by now that I always get what I want"
"Well I don't care; I hate your guts so leave me alone"
After Luke left me and went to his seat the bell rang and every one walked in.
I'm not going to bore you to death with my math class so let's just skip to lunch
So my first two classes were done and I was walking to the cafeteria, when I heard almost the entire student body trying to get in the building.
"What's going on?"
I started fighting my way through the crowed of bodies looking for my friends. Then I saw Thalia jumping up and down at our normal table….wow same table for 3 years.
As soon as I got to our table I asked
"What's going on?"
"I don't know but I'm glad we have the table that's close to the stage because that's where all of the commotion is" Beck stated
"I wonder what it is." Thalia said
Thalia's question was soon answered because whatever was happening on the stage was soon set into focus. We noticed the drum kit, the bass; keyboard and the acoustic guitar were placed on stage. To me the guitar was strangely familiar to me, I've seen it before but I can't place my finger on it. Now it's going to bug me till I find out.
I didn't realize I was going to find so fast and a get a surprise at the same time. I was in shock by the voice that was talking.
"Hey guys, I heard that here a Goode High that every new student has to perform. So I'm going to sing a very special song to me that a friend and I wrote when we were just 12. I'm going to using it on my next album to keep a promise that I made to my best friend, which funny enough she goes to school and I can see her right now," he was interrupted by a bunch of screaming girls, but I still didn't move from my spot. So he continued his little speech.
"I hope she hasn't forgotten me because I could never forget her," He took a deep breath "I want to tell her something if she will look me in the eye"
I slowly turned around only to see his lopsided grin; the same grin that made me fall in love with him at the age 12, I know shocking isn't it.
"Good, now that you are looking at me, I want to tell you that the song that we wrote together all those years together was and always be meant for you"
My sat there in shock as he started singing and staring right at me.
His voice never changed, he still sounded like an angle, and he closed his while he started to sing the first chorus, which caused me to blush a lot because hearing again made me realize that this song was about us.
About half way through the song someone tapped me on the shoulder and holding out a mic to me. I looked up at him with a smile and took the mic from him and slowly started to move away from my table and into the crowed a little. Hey I love those moments in the movies when the guy is singing up on stage and the girl starts singing from the crowed and the crowed moves apart to see who it is. I was around the middle of the crowed when my seaweed brain was at my part of the song. So to shock the crowed I started singing, making Percy stop.
"And I know that someday you will back to me"
The crowed parted so fast it was funny, but I was only looking at him. The crowed was shocked that the geek of the school was the girl Percy Jackson was talking about.
"Because your love for me is so strong
It could never break us apart"
Percy looked back at me with a great smile and started to sing with me. I was walking towards the stage as we sang to each other, our eyes never breaking contact.
The last part of the song was sung when I was up on stage looking right at him. He stopped playing and grabbed my hand and smiled his lopsided grin
"'Cause baby you're the one"
