As soon as I got home I threw my backpack on the floor and started up my laptop. Percy Jackson's new video was finally out and I was so excited. Percy Jackson is every girls dreams. He is a very famous youtuber and is very handsome. He has black messy hair and beautiful sea green eyes that everyone adores.
What I love most about him though is how down to earth he is. He says he's just a typical boy in New York who makes videos and that's it. He doesn't let the fame get to his head and loves all his viewers. His videos range from challenges or just a vlog of him in New York. A lot a people love who he is, including my parents who love how his videos can be for my age and that their is nothing innapropiate on it like lots of youtube videos today.
Finally the video loaded when I clicked on it and I could feel myself smiling already when I saw his face."Hello everyone I'm Percy and today I'll be doing the ask me anything challenge. Basically you send in questions by any social media I have and I will answer them as best as I can. My friend chose the questions I'll answer so I'm sorry if I don't get to you. I might do a sequal episode to this so look out if I post anything on it. So lets got started and I'll use a hat filled with the questions on paper so I'm not staring at my phone the entire time. A little different from other videos I've seen of people doing this."
"How old are you," he read of the paper. "I am eighteen years old"
"Who is your bestfriend and are they a guy or girl?" I was also very curious about this answer, but stopped myself from getting too exicited when I saw the look on on Percy's face.
"Sorry everyone, but I'll answer this question when another question pops up," he said grinning at the camera with a guilty look on his face.
"How do you keep such a good body when you eat so much?" Percy laughed at the question before looking into the camera. "I'm actually on the swimteam as you know and I'm the captain. We practice everyday so I can't really get fat even if I eat a lot. I also go to a summer camp each year and we do a lot of athltic activities there too. So I'm never just lazy and I don't like to do that anyways since I'm a more active person. My girlfriend also is puzzled how I'm still fit sometimes."
Wait did he just say girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND! My heart dropped when I went back and replayed it. He deffinitly said girlfriend. No doubt about it. I was crushed. He just never mentioned having a girlfriend ever so I guessed he was single. Who was I kidding! Why wouldn't he have a girlfriend? He is like perfect in every way.
I was upset, but when I looked at him on the screen at him I couldn't be happier for him because I could tell he loved whoever it was deeply. Their was a distant look in his eyes and a soft smile that made him look in pure content. He was definitly in love with his mystery girlfriend. She is a very lucky girl I thought to myself. I wonder who she is though?
"So this leads me to my next question that says do you have a girlfriend if you do what is her name and how did you meet." I was surprised I'd learn the answer to my question so fast. "So her name is Annabeth and she is also my bestfriend. We met eachother when we where twelve and soon after my sixteenth birthday we got together." That's a long time of knowing each other I thought. They're definitly not an ordinary relationship. Most people's relationships don't last that long.
"After months of begging her she agreed to do a girlfriend tag so that video should be coming out soon. I didn't just ignore your requests like you probably thought I did. I actually wanted to do this video since I started my channel, but she would always turn it down. I was able to get her to do it after a little convincing. I wouldn't give her any of my famous Jackson back rubs she loves. She gave in pretty quickly after that."
I couldn't help but laugh at Percy's resourcefullness to please his viewers. He knew how to get his way with his girlfriend.
"That girlfriend tag should be coming out soon so I'll try to let you know as fast as I can. "Editing takes a long time though," he said wrinkling his nose. "If you've ever made a video before you'll understand what I'm saying. It takes forever and only every once and a while Annabeth helps. I have a new found respect for for anyone who edits. It's hard work."
"Why did you start youtube? The answer is that I wanted to inspire anyone that they can do anything if they put their heart into it. I didn't plan on becoming famous at all. My mom and girlfriend supported me fully which I really apreciate to this day."
This was such a Percy like answer because everyone knows he is a momma's boy. He posted a picture of his mom once and she was really beautiful. You could instantly tell they were related since they had the exact same smiles. I always found his love for his mom really cute.
"What is your greatest fear?" When Percy looked back at the camera his eyes told you he had experienced his fear. My breath caught in my throat and I felt goosebumps craw up my arms. His eyes eyes showed deep pain. You could tell that whatever fear he had it affected him greatly.
"My greatest fear is loosing my loved ones. A group of people who disliked my father caused me to loose my memory at age 17 and I was in a different state at that time by myself. They took everything from me except the clothes on my back. I was lost. The only person I remembered was Annabeth."
"I remember having dreams of her and not knowing who she was except I knew I cared about her a lot. It took me only a little while to regain my memories back, but during that time I made a lot of new friends who took me in. During that time I was really scared because I did not know any of my past except Annabeth. I had no idea where I lived before and I even forgot who my mom was. I did regain my memories, but that feeling never left me."
His story blew me away. They must of had a very strong relationship to get through that. At their age that was incredible.
"What is your favorite childhood memory?" Percy lightly hummed under his breath as he tried to come up with a good answer.
"I think it was when I came home from school one day to evil my stepfather Gabe gone and my mom was making her famous blue chocolate cookies. That was the happiest memory I remeber as a child." His answer reminded me that he had a hard childhood, but he never acted like it. He was always cheerful and really happy about his life. His responce seemed to make me think that maybe one day my parents split will end up for the better.
"What is your favorite song?"
"Under the Sea," was his responce and it only reminded me that he was a child at heart even if he did not seem like it.
"Annabeth does not like it only because I made her watch the Little Mermaid way too many times. I can't really blame her though because the architecture videos she makes me watch are boring and that is basically what she is feeling when I make her watch it.
"What is your favorite food?"
"I think that the answer is pretty easy but it is my mom's blue chocolate chip cookies."
"Who is that girl on your instagram?" I remeber when he posted that image! It was on Christmas day when I was notified that he had posted something new and when I opened it the picture was of a girl standing on a balcony. She had a red dress on that covered her arms and blonde curly hair tumbled out from under a white beanie. Around her it was whitewith few hints of buildings in the backround. I was curious who she was but Percy never added an distription to the image on who she was.
"So that was Annabeth. I did not want to give any hints on who she was just so I would surprise you. I secretly took the image," Percy said with a sheepish look on his face.
"What is your favorite holiday?"
"It just passed," he stated with a pout on his face.
"It is Christmas which I always enjoy since I got to spend time with my Mom, Paul my stepdad, Annabeth, and my other friends. We had a secret santa competetion with Annabeth and my friends and it was a lot of fun.
"So this is the last question I am going to answer for this video and it is what is your worst habit. My worst habit is being unorganized and it's one of Annabeth's pet peeves. Lately though I try to keep it clean to make her happy since she lives with us in a guest room."
"I hope I answered your questions like you wanted. Please like and comment down below. Thanks for watching!" The video ended with a simple black backround with Percy's initials in a cirle in white.
I slightly stretched when the video ended. Watching his videos always relaxed me and let me step back and enjoy myself. He also made me forget about the worries in the world and homework. When his videos ended though life went back to being busy and stressful as always. I sighed before getting up to start on the endless amount of work I had to do. I hate school.
