Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson
Hey guys, so I decided not to update last week because I thought this story needed a little time to get out thereā¦
But 17 follows already! Thank you so much! When I saw this, I decided I would give you guys another chapter! Enjoy!
Percy woke up as he heard his phone blasting his ringtone in his ear. Percy groaned as he picked up his phone to look at his caller ID. The word Annabeth was glaring at him on the screen.
"Why is she calling me at-" Percy checked the time "-8 in the morning. Better see why." he hit the green button.
"Annabeth?" Percy asked.
"Good morning, Percy!" said a cheerful Annabeth.
"Why are you calling me at 8 in the morning?" Percy muttered.
"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a jog?" she asked. "We can also discuss when to do our collab and stuff like that."
Percy, very difficulty, got out of bed and made his way to the bathroom.
"Percy? Percy?!"
"Hmm...yeah?" Percy croaked as he started brushing his teeth.
"Percy, are you okay?" Annabeth's concerned voice came through the phone.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm just not a morning person." Percy said.
"I'm coming over there." Annabeth said.
"What?!" Percy spit his toothpaste out all over the mirror. "I'm fine, Annabeth."
"Yeah, you're fine when you sound like you have a hangover."
"Annabeth! I don't drink! I told you I'm just not a morning person." Percy said as he took a paper towel to wipe all the toothpaste off the mirror.
"Alright, alright!" Annabeth surrendered. "Where do you live?"
"In the 5 towers." Percy said as he headed to the closet.
"Wait! You live in the 5 Towers Residence. Which tower?"
"The 2nd tower. Why?" Percy asked.
"I live in the 4th tower."
The 5 Towers were a residential area where the biggest celebrities, singers, and YouTubers lived. There were 5 towers in circle with a park and jogging/walking/biking trail in the middle. The 5 Towers hid the park and the trail from paparazzi, so the celebs could go outside and feel normal for once. Inside each tower there were 20 floors and each had an indoor swimming pool, gym, and free breakfast every morning. Percy was on the 18th floor, so he could see Hollywood Mountain, all of LA, and even the Universal Studios globe from his window.
"I didn't know you lived a tower away from me!" Percy said.
Annabeth laughed. "I know, right! Meet me at the bottom of tower 3."
"Okay. I'll be there in 15. See you."
"Okay, see you." Annabeth said and she hung up.
The entire time Percy was eating breakfast, he was very nervous. When he made his way to tower 3, he saw her standing there. Her hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail and she was smiling at him. Percy also noticed that Annabeth's eyes were both gray (and very stormy) now.
"Good morning sleepyhead." she greeted.
"Good morning...what should I call you?" Percy wondered.
"Well," Percy said. "Since you wake up at 8 am, you're probably a nerd. So I'll call you Wise Girl."
"Okay, and you sound like you have a hangover at 8 in the morning, so I'm guessing you're an idiot." Annabeth chuckled.
"I like the sea." Percy suggested.
"Seaweed Brain. Yeah, Seaweed Brain!" Percy and Annabeth erupted into laughter as soon as Annabeth finished her sentence.
"Okay," Annabeth said, massaging her sides. "We're going on a jog." they started up the track. "So what should we do for our collab?"
"I dunno. Some challenge?" Percy asked.
"I've done every single YouTube challenge out there." Annabeth put in.
"Some game?"
"We're not gonna get views for that." Annabeth said.
"Why don't you suggest something, Wise Girl?" Percy asked.
Annabeth stopped and faced Percy.
"I have the perfect idea!" her face lit up in a really cute way. "A romantic-comedy sketch."
"Yeah, I like it." Percy blurted out. The only part he heard was romantic, so he nodded.
She motioned to the bench, "Let's get planning." Percy and Annabeth sat down and Annabeth pulled a notebook and pencil out of her tracksuit.
"I do not want to know how you did that." Percy said.
Annabeth laughed "Alright, what should our plot be?" she asked.
Percy had the perfect idea.
