Ch. 1: A Very Unpleasant Surprise

Annabeth P. O. V.

"Thank you everybody, have a great night!" I yelled into the mike while waving to my screaming fans. The stage lights blurred my vision, but still, you could see my hundreds and thousands of fans screaming wearing my face on their shirts, begging for my autograph. Little dots that moved up and down shouting were all I could make out of them. I waved bye one last time and blew them all a big kiss. I clicked my shoes back onto the platform, where the curtain closed in on me and took me backstage. Far from the screams and yells that gave me horrible headaches, but made me smile at the same time.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Annabeth Chase, an average 21-year-old girl who loves to sing. But most people wouldn't call my life average. My best friends were Thalia Grace, my manager, Piper Mclean -Yes, Tristan Mclean's daughter-, my stylist, and Reyna Bellona, my... uhh.. well she doesn't really have a purpose. She just sits backstage every concert, eating Cheetos, a bunch of other junky foods, and of course her favorite: skittles.

I had just finished my last concert. Which means the Annabeth Chase World Tour is officially complete and over. Thank the gods! I tiredly and lazily slumped myself onto the couch that was backstage.

"That was so exhausting! Never let me do that again!" I exclaimed to my manager, while I was slowly dying from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

"Here Annie drink some water", she replied and threw a water bottle at me while continuing to stare at her phone, deeply trapped in whatever she was doing.

I opened my mouth to give her a good lesson, so she remembers to never call me Annie ever again. But then the door opened.

And behind the beautiful door was an arrogant, but attractive, walking STD. Yes, I do mean a walking STD. If you knew the guy you would agree. Who am I talking about you might ask? Well I'm talking about the one and only Perseus Jackson. Startling green eyes and dark brown eyes and signature smile that make every girl melt at his feet.

"What the fu-" I started before I was so rudely interrupted by a certain playboys voice.

"Now, now, Annie ladies don't swear." He said smirking at me.

Oh my god the nerve of this guy. Does he actually think he can just barge into MY dressing room with all of friends and manager and expect to order me around?

"Wow. It's only been two seconds and you guys are all ready annoying each other. What a shocker. I told you this wouldn't work Thals." Reyna spoke.

"What wouldn't work?!" I looked over at Thalia who stared at me with her piercing blue eyes. "Thalia Grace I swear if you don't tell me what's going on right now I will-" I started before she interrupted me. God what is it with people interrupting me. Like um hi did the middle of my sentence interrupt the beginning of yours?

"Think carefully before you finish that sentence Annabeth." She said.

"Then what's going on?" I asked. Thalia looked over a Nico and then to Percy and then back to me. "Thals…" I trailed off.

"Can we have the room guys" Nico, Percy's manager spoke. Everyone nodded except for Reyna who was complaining that she needed to stay because she "sprained her ankle".

"Reyna if you get you don't get your lazy ass of your table I am going to kick you out of my house." Thalia said. After a bunch of grumbling Reyna finally got up and walked out the door.

"Okay sit." Nico said looking at both Percy and I. At this point I was starting to worry. My imagination was running wild and was thinking of the worst-case scenarios.

Once we were both sitting down on the couch Nico and Thalia looked at each other and sighed.

"Okay look. I know you both aren't going to like this but we need you to work together." Thalia started. My jaw dropped. Is she actually serious? She wants me, Annabeth Chase, to work with a sea monster?

"Absolutely not." Percy answers for both of us.

"Wow Jackson, finally something the both of us agree on." I say. He glares at me and I shrug with a smile.

"Can you guys please just listen to us?" Nico says pinching the bridge of his nose.

"You have five minutes." I say. "And then I'm going across the street to my moms restaurant and celebrating my parents anniversary."

"Fine. Five minutes."

"You're down to four now, I would start talking if I were you."

Nico glares at me before taking a deep breath and talking really fast, "SoumwekindaneedyouguystofakedateforPercy'simageandwriteasongtogether."

"Come again?" Percy asks.

"We need you guys to fake date because of the rumors flying around with Percy." Thalia says slowly. For the second time that night my jaw drops.

"What rumors? The ones about him giving STD's to every girl he sleeps with? Because those are probably true." I scoff. "Sorry but I refuse. There is no way in hell I am going to date this idiot."

"Hey! I don't spread STD's!" Percy starts and I scoff. "I don't! Just because you're mad that you almost gave it up to me doesn't mean I sleep with everything that walks! And I'm not an idiot!" He states glaring at me!

"Oh my god you little—" I start before Nico interrupts and screams at us.

"ENOUGH! You guys are doing this. Percy isn't the only one having rumors flying around about him. The press is saying nasty things about you to Annabeth."

"Like what. It can't be that bad." I say crossing my arms and sitting back down on the couch.

"Um..Well a lot of them are saying that you're still a virgin.." Nico trails off. My jaw drops. I mean yes that is true but it's not something I like out in the open, not even my best friends know about that.

"That's-there's-" I splutter and can't form a sentence. Percy looks at me with a small smile. "What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing. It's just that those rumors are probably true." He said smirking. And that' when I lost it.

"Okay no Annabeth stop-" Thalia says puling me away from Percy before I had a chance to start beating him up.

"Okay I know you two don't like this but just sleep on it." Nico said.

"I don't need to sleep on it to know that I don't want to date her." Percy said.

"Same here. I'm sorry but I refuse to date or fake date or do anything with him for that matter." I said.

"We're your management and you have to do what we say. SO if we say you guys are going to date to improve you image, then your going to date. That's the end of the discussion!" Nico said glaring at us before stomping out. Percy looked at me for a little bit before sighing and running a hand through his hair.

"My dad got invited to your parents anniversary diner too so I'll see you there Annabeth." Percy sighed before walking out. My eyes widened and I turned to Thalia who had the same look on her face.

"YOU ALMOST GAVE UP YOU VIRGINITY TOMY COUSIN!?" she yelled at me. I just stared at her in shock.

"Um…yes?" I said.

"Okay, okay details now please. You can tell us this story while we get you ready for this dinner." Thalia said. I sighed and sunk down into my chair and started to tell the story of how Percy and I were high school sweethearts and dated for junior and most of senior year before our bitter breakup. All of which was happening while Piper was styling my hair, putting makeup on my face, and stuffing me into some overpriced dress and heels that I hated. Now this is going to be a long night.
