Hope
(A.N: Hai, guys! Decided to write a new story…. So yeah, here!)
My mom, Melanie, sighs and closes her laptop. "Will you PLEASE play with Lillian?" She says, slightly annoyed. My Dad, Landon, wraps an arm around her.
"But, MOM! Anna will be here soon!" I whine. She raises her eyebrow and I scowl.
"Fine." My mom smirks and says something along the lines of "That's more like it, Hope," but I wasn't listening. I walk to my whining little sister and ask what she wanted to do.
"Hide 'n' seek!" she says her face excited. I sigh and start to get up to find a hiding spot when the door rings. I run to the door and see a smiling Anna. She walks in and we run to my bedroom. I shut the door when we get in.
"Did you bring it?" I question. She nods. My mom has this weird rule where we can't read magazines because they will "rot your brain" or something. So, when Anna comes over she brings over a magazine she likes, usually showing a page on a celebrity she is fascinated with. Otherwise known as the "Celeb 'O' The Month"
"Who's this month's celebrity?" I say, smirking. She ignores my smirk and says with googly eyes "Percy Rodrigue." I look at a picture of him fighting a robber. The photo blurs in front of my eyes and it looks like something I learned in Greek class, a Minotaur. I rub my eyes and it goes away. I think I have heard of him, he fought some terrorists or something and then somebody put him in a movie because of his good looks and on. Now I see people swoon over his picture at school. Really annoying.
As I half-listen to what Anna is saying about how awesome he is, I can't help but feel weird. He seems a lot like me. Stunning black hair and a funny attitude. Well, of course, according to Anna, he is "like, totally awesome and hot!" Ok, so I might have lied about that but… not by much.
As she bores me the death by saying everything about him, I think I hear something. I look up and the door opens. Mom walks in and starts to say something when she sees the magazine. She pursed her lips.
"May I have that please? We have a strict 'No Magazine' rule. Magazines rot your brain." She says simply. Told you she thought that about magazines. Anna's face turns red and she hands over the magazine, that was still turned to the page with Percy. My mom's eyes widen for a millisecond when she sees the picture, but she wipes the expression of her face. Weird.
"Thank you. Sorry about that. If you need somebody, get your dad." She says her voice faltering when she said 'your dad'. She looks at the picture of Percy again, her grip hard. Still weird.
"Let's go do something with Lily. I NEED ENTERTAINMENT!" Anna says dramatically.
(A.N. Sorry guys about it being so short… and having most of it the magazine thing. It supports the next chapter… that supports another chapter… that supports the action… WELL OK THEN! Uh, if you want to you call pretend Melanie is Annabeth and Percy Rodrigue is Percy Jackson. LAST THING IS PLEASE REVIEW, AND I SHALL UPDATE TOMARROW OR FRIDAY OR SOMETHING!)
