Annabeth
I watched the flakes of snow falling quietly outside the window, my pencil scratching at my math homework. The last period of the day had just ended, and I was trying to do my math homework in my dorm.
I was on a composite figure problem, and was trying to calculate the volume of a sphere. But the snowflakes outside seemed much more appealing.
Suddenly, I heard loud music coming from one of the lower floors.
Some legends are told, some turn to dust or to gold...
I squinted at my work, trying to ignore the music. I had to finish this. But the music was so loud, it made my ears throb.
But you will remember me...
Grr...4/3π…
Remember me for centuries….
I clenched my fists around my pencil.
And just one mistake…
4/3π times r squared….
Is all it will take…
No, wait, it was r cubed…
We'll go down in history…
With the diameter as ten…
Remember me, for centuries…
And the radius as five…
Hey, hey, hey,...
The lead of my pencil broke.
Remember me, for centuries…
I stood up angrily. Those stupid idiots downstairs, bothering everyone in the whole freaking building by creating an earthquake with their stupid centuries song.
I opened the door of my room and headed out to the stairs. I was going to bust these punks. How was it that a song was stopping me from calculating the volume of a sphere?!
At the foot of the stairs, I turned down the corridor towards the door where the music was coming from.
Without a moment's hesitation, I knocked on the door.
No response, except for the insanely loud music.
I banged on it harder.
"It's open!" A voice yelled from inside, somehow above the music.
I kicked the door open, just to come face-to-face with complete mayhem.
It was the messiest dorm ever. The bunks were undone, clothes were in heaps on the floor, papers were scattered everywhere, and a large stereo/recording system was set in the very center, blasting out music.
Five boys were also inside, jamming to the music.
Spotting the stereo's wire connected to an outlet near the door, I yanked it out.
The music abruptly stopped.
"Awww!" They all said, finally turning to look at me.
One of them snorted. "What are you doing here?"
"Um, I'm here to inform you that your music is causing an earthquake. Can't you keep it down?"
"Um, I'm here to inform you, scholar girl," another guy said, "That you forgot your glasses upstairs. Can't you see we're busy?"
"Busy doing what? Wrecking the building with your awful music?"
"It's not awful," yet another guy said. "It's Centuries. It's a good jam."
"Um, well, I think you should leave the singing about 'hundreds of years' to Christina Perri."
The rest of the boys let out an "Oooooohhhhh".
"Just get out of here. We're not going to turn it down. And turn it down for what? Some stupid girl."
Some of the other boys started singing 'Turn Down for What'.
I groaned.
"We'll turn it down," a different guy who hadn't spoke yet finally piped up, his voice rising over the others' singing.
He had rumpled black hair and sea green eyes.
"Really?" Me and the rest of the boys said at the same time.
"Yeah," he said, smiling. "If it bothers you."
The rest of the boys stared at him in disbelief, while I let out a sigh. "Thanks."
Then I turned on my heel and walked out the door.
As I walked back up the stairs, I heard the Centuries song start back up again. It was still loud, but not as loud as it was before.
