Starstruck Annabeth's POV
It was a beautiful fall day, leaves red, orange and brown falling off their branches. The wind flowed around me, making my blonde princess curls as some people would call them flow behind me in every direction. I was waiting for my friends, Thalia Grace, Piper Mclean and Calypso Titan. I waited in the center park of our neighbourhood and heard soft crunches from the leaves. I saw my friends come from every direction.
"Hi Annie" Thalia waved, Thalia is…peculiar. She's like a cross breed between a emo and punkish kind of girl. Thalia's favourite color was black and it was the only color she ever wore. Her hair spiked up as usual paired with a "Death to Barbie" t-shirt, black jeans and black converses. Thalia's personality pretty much radiates at you once you see her, she super aggressive kinda like me but I'm much more low-key. Basically don't mess with her.
"Don't call me Annie Thals" I rolled my eyes and heard a sweeter voice.
"Hi Beth" Piper grinned, her smile raidating. Piper is truly beautiful. Not girly beautiful but just truly beautiful. She comes from a Cherokee background so her tan is on point and her choppy brown hair was messy but still it fitted her well. Her dad was Tristan Mclean, a popular actor though her mom is just as famous but she still favors her parentage hidden. It doesn't really matter to Calypso, Thalia and I, he's a lot like a father figure to us and even when he has a busy schedule, he tries to make time for Piper even for us. Piper is very amiable herself, she always smiling and gives great advice. She also has another great talent to sweet talk to others to do what she says and it's super useful.
"It's Annabeth Pipes" I groaned as I facepalmed.
"Hey there Annabeth" Calypso said as she gave me one her famous hug that make you feel loved, if that weird? Anyways, Calypso has the sweetest and kindest soul out of our group but she can be a bit sassy sometimes, her comebacks are almost as good as mine, not to brag or anything.
"OH CALYPSO, YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN SAY MY NAME PROPERLY" I cried as I hugged her tighter.
"Hush Annabeth, there could people sleeping" Calypso whispered as she quickly scanned the houses nearby to make sure no one would open a window and scream at us.
"Right, right" I mumbled letting go
"Ready to go to school?" Piper asked
"Yup" Calypso and I said cheerfully and well Thalia just grunted
"Let's go then" Piper said as she and the rest of us begin to walk to school.
After a few seconds of walking, Thalia begined to whine.
"School sucks" Thalia groaned
"Thalia! School is a magical place where lucky kids like us get to lear.." "Hey Annabeth" Thalia interrupted "Yeah?" I asked questionably
"Shut up" she said casually "Okay" I said finally, when Thalia tell you to shut up, you must do it, I've experienced her wrath. A few minutes, we got to school where it became tartarus. Girls screaming, squealing and giggling. I glanced at Thalia and Piper, they seem to get the look. Thalia put two fingers to her mouth and Piper, Calypso and I were already prepared with covering our ears. Thalia whisted long and high pitched, and that's when thing got a bit worse for a couple seconds. "Ahh"
"WHAT THE HECK"
"MAKE IT STOP"
Girls were groaning and screaming. Once Thalia ended the torture, it was silent which made Piper's job easier.
"Everyone, please be quiet for few minutes" Piper calmly commanded
The whole hallway was seemed to freeze in that moment
"Very nice" Calypso mumbled, scanning the halls
"Drew Tanaka" Piper called out one of the most self centered and pretty (I use that word as an insult) girl in the school.
"What's going on" she asked
"Only the hottest boy band coming to our school for a contest" Drew said
We glanced at each-other, we all knew this band. It was called the Demigods, apparently they were the next big thing after One-Direction. Thalia, Piper, Calypso and I were the only girls in the school not obsessed with them, in fact we don't think they're that impressive. Sure, they can sing and play a couple of instruments but that's all.
"Hey Drew, can I take a look at that" I said pointing to the flyer
"Sure" she said handing the flyer to me
Battle Of The Bands
You think you and friends have the talent? Show it to us at the Battle of The Bands When: October 2 6:00pm Where: Goode Auditorium But that's not all we have a special group judging… The Demigods !
Sign up by September 28 in the Cafeteria
"You've got to be kidding me, this is what caused the school to seem like Ragnarok" I groaned facepalming
"At least, I'll be able to see Jase again" Thalia shrugged, "but I'm not too thrilled about the rest of them"
Jason Grace is the lead guitarist in thee boy band the Demigods and is Thalia's twin brother. Their Dad Zeus (Weird Name right?) took custody of Jason when they were 4. Thalia still refuses to talk to her dad because he took him away from her.
The school bell rang and the halls became alive again
"Ugh gotta go to class see you guys at the end of the day" I waved as we went our separate ways.
It was a normal day, I received A+ 's in all my AP and IB subjects, called a know-it-all and a nerd and defended a couple freshmen from getting bullied. Finally the last bell rang, I walked to my locker, popping some blueberries in to my mouth. Then I heard a couple familiar voices.
"Get away from me"
"Aw why"
It was Piper and of course Dylan the school's infamous "bad boy"
"Here we go again" I mumbled to myself as I walked over to Dylan Dylan trapped Piper against the lockers
I tapped his shoulder from behind him
"Get away from her" I said menacingly
"And why would I do that Chase" he smirked
I could see the fear in his eyes but I guess his reputation was more important than getting his ass kick "Wouldn't you want to kiss me instead" I said as I traced my finger across his jawline
"I- I uh…" his smirk faltered and Piper's jaw fell. I could feel the eyes on us and hear the whispers
"C'mon Dylan, kiss me" I whispered
"Um..I" his cockiness grew "I would love to Chase" he said as he lean closer And closer And when he was 1cm away I blew 5 wet blueberries at his face and stepped away to admire my work. People clapped and cheered. Thalia would've been proud
"Woo! That's my little Anniebell"
Yup she's proud Piper gave me a thumbs up, a silent thank you and stalked away to Thalia and Calypso where she would be protected. I faced Dylan again, he was wiping off spit and he looked furious. It was hilarious.
"Don't mess with me or my friends ever again" I said turning my back and walked back to my appading friends. I smiled.
"Let's go to my house"
