Ch.1
I keep trying to distract myself from the fact that my sixteenth birthday is only a year away. My thoughts revolve around one thing…girls. There are two girls in particular that I think about, Annabeth and Rachel.
Annabeth Chase. She and I have been really good friends for a long time, but ever since that kiss, I've been confused. And Rachel Dare. I've kind of always had a thing for Rachel, though. She makes me feel like I have to try harder and be better in everything that I do. Tomorrow I'm going to the movies with both of them so it's bound to be interesting.
"Hey Seaweed Brain!" A friendly and familiar voice yelled out from behind me.
"Hi, Wisegirl," I called back, turning around to look at her. She made me realize how much really I liked her every time I saw her. Not soon after, another familiar voice was calling my name.
It was Rachel Elizabeth Dare. As I was turning around to greet her I saw the look on Annabeth's face. It was definitely not a "I'm happy to see you again" look.
"Nice to see you again, Percy. You've been shy with my number I gave it to you so you could call me…oh, hey Annabelle." Rachel looked the same as always, but she still blew me away.
"It's AnnaBETH, Mortal Girl!" Annabeth replied with an even more disgusted look on her face.
"Yeah, that's it…sorry," Rachel replied with a smile on her face.
I decided I should say something before things got ugly. "So uh, what movie do you guys want to see?"
"Something scary." Rachel suggested.
"No, something that's educational." Annabeth said.
"I got it! We could see something that's both educational and scary." I said.
"Wow Seaweed Brain, you're a genius." Annabeth said sarcastically.
"Sorry I was just trying to help, you know." I said back.
"We know." Rachel said. "How 'bout we get something to eat instead of a movie."
"Sounds good to me. Annabeth?"
"Fine." There was always a tension between Rachel and Annabeth.
"Okay then, let's go." Rachel said.
We walked down Hungry Hogo's Hotdog Shack.
"So, uh, what do you guys want? I'm buying."
"A chili cheese dog and a Coke, ple…" The look on her face scared both me and Annabeth.
"Do you guys see them?" Rachel stuttered out.
"See who?" I said.
"There are five empousa coming toward us."
