I DO NOT OWN PJO OR HoO. RICK RIORDAN DOES.
*Annabeth's Point Of View*
I was looking at him again at dinner. Stupid Percy Jackson. I... I wanted him to see me as more than a colleague. Malcolm nudged me.
"It's the star meet in an hour." He glanced at Percy. "You can daydream about Ocean Boy later." I blushed. My agent rolled his eyes. "Come on, Annabeth. The whole filming crew knows that you like him. You haven't really kept it a very good secret. Of course, Ocean Boy there is oblivious, but we know." I glared at him. Malcolm laughed and pulled me up. He grabbed my sleeve and pulled me to the meet.
"Hey, everybody!" The director/producer Mr Brunner called. Everyone stopped chatting and looked at the wheel-bound man. "Now, as you've probably heard, we are filming a new movie starting next week!" All the girls screamed. "Now, the hero of the movie is the one and only, Percy Jackson!" Percy stood up, turned and waved at everybody. All the girls melted, but I swear that when he saw me, he winked, knowingly. What was that about?
"Now, for the heroine. We needed somebody who was not afraid to see Percy in swimwear and not buckle at the knees." Percy laughed. Mr Brunner just smiled at him. "Where was I? Oh yes, the heroine. Now, Percy, his agent and I were sifting through the candidates for the part of the heroine, when Percy had eliminated everyone but a final five. Those five girls were: Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace, Piper McLean, Hazel Levesque and Reyna Bellona."
My eyes widened. I was one of the final five? "Then, he eliminated it down to the final three. Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace and Piper McLean." I was in the semi-semi finals. "Then, came the last two. Annabeth Chase and Thalia Grace." That was it. Thalia got it, but... I was in the semi-finals!"And, announcing the girl Percy Jackson chose as his co-star was... drum-roll please..." Everyone started slapping their thighs and stamping the floor. "Annabeth Chase!"
