Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson

Hey peoples! If you didn't know, I update every Friday and before I move onto anything, let me just say. . . HAPPY FRIYAY! Okay now that that's out of my way, enjoy chapter 3!


Previously on Soulmates. . .

Annabeth laughed "Alright, what should our plot be?" she asked.

Percy had the perfect idea.


Two hours later, Percy and Annabeth stared at 4 page long script in front of him. Percy wiped the sweat off his brow. Annabeth blew a strand of hair out of her face.

"That was hard work." Annabeth said.

"I know," Percy sighed.

"So when should start filming?" Annabeth asked.

"Whenever you want," Percy blurted.

"Okay, so. . .tomorrow?"

Percy said, "Okay. But can we not go for a 'jog' at 8 AM?"

Annabeth chuckled, "Sure. We'll meet at the tower 4 Starbucks, okay?"

"Wait! You have a Starbucks in your tower?" Percy exclaimed.

"Yeah, don't you?" Annabeth scrunched her brow up in a really cute way.

"No, I have Panda Express." Percy said. "This is so not fair!"

Annabeth smiles, "Well now you can come to Starbucks with me, okay?"

Percy heart almost fluttered out of his chest, "Okay."

"Alright, Percy, I'll see you at 6." she pulled out a sticky notes pad and wrote "Meet Annabeth at Starbucks. Tower 4. 6:00 PM." and stuck it onto Percy's forehead.

"What is this for?" Percy asked.

Annabeth grins, "People who stick sticky notes onto their foreheads are Seaweed Brains. Live up to your name, Percy."

"Well, you certainly do." Percy points out.

"Why thank you, Mr Jackson."

"Same to you, Ms. Chase."

"Okay, jokes aside, I have to go attend a meeting. I'll see you later!" she gives him a hug and dashes off to Tower 4.

Percy slowly walks back to his tower and takes the elevator to the 18th floor. When he walks into his apartment, he sees Jason in living room watching TV.

"So, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, huh?" he smirks. Percy blushes.

"I could say the same for you and Mrs. Grace." Percy retorts. Now it's Jason's turn to blush.

"Anyway, what did you do?" Jason asks.

"We just created a script for the romantic-comedy sketch we're making together." Percy went into the kitchen and pulled out a Chobani smoothie.

"Oooo, romantic-comedy? What's it about?"

"Basically this boy thinks this girl is her soulmate, but the girl doesn't believe him. So, he goes out of his way to prove they're soulmates. You know like dating other girls to make er jealous. Eventually she realizes that he is her soulmate." Percy gulped down half of the smoothie.

"Please do not tell me this is your way of indirectly trying to convince Annabeth you're her soulmate." Jason got the lotion and started rubbing it on his new tattoo.

"No, not at all." Percy put the Chobani smoothie back in the fridge. "By the way, mixed berry smoothie is mine. Don't even think about touching it."

Jason was now scrolling through Instgram, "Yeah, yeah. I don't even like the mixed berry ones. When will you start filming?"

Percy walked in the living room and sat down next to Jason. "Today. Our first scene is in a Starbucks, so we're going to the Starbucks in the 4th tower." Percy found his MacBook and went onto YouTube.

Jason dropped his phone and then caught it just in time, "Wait, they have a Starbucks in Tower 4? This is not fair."

Percy pulled up Annabeth's channel. "Honestly, Jason, it's not that far away."

"Whatever," Jason said. "I have a meeting with the producers. I'll be back by 3."

"Okay," Percy replied.

After Jason left, Percy decided to clean the apartment. He mopped the floors, vacuumed the carpets, made the beds, rearranged the living room, dusted the windows, and did the dishes. By the time he was done, it was already 4. He started wondering where Jason was and decided to call him but it went on voicemail. A few minutes later, he got a text from Jason saying Held up with the producers. I'll be back by 6.

Percy replied, k and turned the TV on. He didn't know when, but he fell asleep. He woke up to a knock on the door.

"Huh?" Percy moaned. He got up to see who was at the door. It was Annabeth and she looked mad.

"Where were you?" she said in a deadly calm tone. Uh-oh, Percy inwardly said. He had heard of the phrase "calm before the storm." and this is probably what it looked like in person Percy decided.

"Um. . .I-" he started.

"Percy, it's 7:30! Our first day is gone because you fell asleep. Now we're gonna have to pick up the pace. I better see you tomorrow!" she shoved a sticky note into his hand and stormed off.

"-fell asleep because you woke me up at 8 this morning." Percy finished as he closed the door. He saw the empty apartment. Where was Jason? He said he would be back by 6. Then he saw a text on his phone from half an hour ago. It was from Jason saying On a date with Pipes. Be back by 9. How did the shoot go? Did Annabeth say anything?

Percy wanted to say horrible but all he said was It was good.

He looked at the sticky note in his hand and found the one Annabeth had given him earlier.

Percy sighed. If a girl like Annabeth was his soulmate, well, it was not going to be easy. He went into his room and took the two sticky notes and stuck them on the wall. Then, he set an alarm on his phone for 6 the next day and found the most horrible ringtone ever to remind him. He shut his phone off and threw it on the bed. He felt terrible and from now on, he would work twice as hard to impress his Annabeth.

You're mine, Annabeth. Percy thought. Even if you don't know it yet.


Hope you enjoyed that! I feel like Percy missing a shoot because he fell asleep would be something he would do : ) Also, I love Chobani smoothies. If you love Chobani smoothies, put it in your review and tell me your favorite flavor. Mine would probably be mango. Anyways, I hope you have an AWESOME Friday and a FABULOUS weekend! See you next week!
