Percy
Who is that girl in the back? She is beautiful. Long, blond hair, beautiful stormy grey eyes, and a nice dress that high lights those features. What a knockout.
"Thank you all for coming," I say into the mic, "this first one is an oldie but a goody. Written by John Denver, called "Annie's song." I take a deep breath and start playing the familiar melody.
"You fill up my senses
Like a night in the forest
Like the mountains in spring time
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come, let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come, let me love you
Come love me again
Let me give my life to you
Come, let me love you
Come love me again
You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again"
The crowd claps, and I smile. It's a rush to preform, which is one reason I love playing. I look back to the girl in the back, who's clapping, but also looking at me. Is she single? I've got to know. I don't know about me, but her eyes glowed the second she saw me.
"Thank you everyone. I'm going to take five, then come at you with an original. Hope you like it." I say before setting my guitar in the case and going to order a coffee. Maybe I can get away with talking to her for a few minutes, at best.
"Here's your usual Percy." The manager says, handing me an almond breve, my signature drink.
"Thanks Zeus. Say, who's that girl in the back with Thalia?" Yes, I know her though my cousin, Nico. Good punk gal. A little on the strange side, but who isn't though?
"No clue. Talk to her man." He says before going into the back. Talk to her, huh?
Annabeth
My god, I think I'm in love. He's perfect in every way. From his looks to his playing to his singing. Is he single? No, someone like that has to have a girlfriend.
"So girl, what did I tell you?" Thalia asks, a sly grin on her face. What is she planning? Or seeing that I'm not?
"You told me so. Happy?" I say, my voice about two octaves too high. Thalia laughs as my face gets a bright shade of red. Just great.
"I don't know about her, but I am." A voice says behind me. I turn around to see none other than... Percy Jackson!
"Mind if I sit down?" He asks. I nod, being unable to speak. No other boy has made me like this. So what's the difference with this one then? I mean, sure he's cute. Okay, he's beyond cute. But I've seen musicians play before. Whats the difference with him?
"So, what's your name sweetie?" He asks me, taking a sip of his coffee.
"Um...I'm..." Great, English has failed me. That never, ever happens.
"She's Annabeth Percy. Fifteen years old from California, and single." Thalia answers for me. But WHY DID SHE MENTION I WAS SINGLE! I SHOULD KILL HER FOR THAT!
"She is? Well, in that case, would you like to go out Annabeth?" Wait, what?
Shorter chapter than the first. What you think? R&R!
