Procrastination is amazing, my fellow fanfictioners. I procrastinated with this fic, I procrastinate with homework, and most of all, I procrastinate with this fic. But, I promised myself that until I posted another chapter of one of my fics, I could not read any others. So I'm writing this.
Cleo Armstrong
I walked across the cafeteria looking for the table that my friends and I usually sit at. Alex, Percy, Alyssa, Sophie, Jack and I all sit together. Finally I noticed my best friend and crush, Percy Jackson, wave me over.
"Hi Cleo." Alyssa, my other best friend said.
"Hi Ally." I said. Then a girl named Lizzie came up to our table.
"Hey, Percy, want to come to my house tonight? Or go see a movie?" She asked. Of course Percy would say yes. She is really pretty, and really nice.
"No thanks Lindy. I have a girlfriend." He said to her.
"Um... it's Lizzie, not Lindy." 'Lindy' said.
"Okay Leah. Not the point. I have a girlfriend." He said. Lizzie looked disappointed and she looked a bit like she was going to cry, but she calked back to her table.
"Why'd you turn her down? She was one of the better ones!" Alex said.
"Like I said. I have a girlfriend." Percy told him.
"Okay then, let's see a picture of her." Alyssa said. He took out his phone and stated looking through photos.
"No... that's Piper... Thalia... Nico... Jason... wait, why do I even have a photo of Jason on my phone? 75 photos, and not one is of Annabeth? Ah, here's one." I had no idea who the other people were. He held up his phone and showed us a picture of a blond girl with grey eyes. She was wearing a simple t shirt and jeans, but it looked amazing on her. She had a lean body, and looked like she worked out a lot.
"Please. That picture is obviously off of Google." Alex scoffed.
"Actually, I've met her. She's really nice." Alyssa said.
"You have? Ooh, yeah, you have." Percy said. "Anyway, she's coming to pick me up after school, so you can meet her. Also, if you don't believe me, I can just text her or call her." He said.
"Ooh, could you call her? It's been so long since I last saw her." Alyssa asked him.
"Sure." He dialed her number.
"It's ringing..." Alex said.
"Is she ever going to pick up?" Jack asked. We all looked at him amazed. He didn't talk much.
"Hello?" I heard a girls voice from the phone.
"Hi Annie-" Percy started but was cut off.
"Beth." She said.
"Okay, Beth-"
"Annabeth." She said sounding annoyed.
"Okay, Annabeth, can you please tell Jack, Alex, Cleo and Alyssa that you're real?" He asked her.
"Hey! I already know that Annie's real. She's my half sister!" Alyssa said.
"Ally?" The girl from the phone said incredulously.
"That's my name -sorta- don't wear it out!" She said. I sighed. Sometimes she is like a 5 year old.
"You haven't changed one bit." The girl said decisively.
"I know! Isn't it amazing?" Alyssa said teasingly.
"Anyway, Annabeth, could you tell them that you're real?" Percy asked.
"I'm not real." 'Annabeth' said.
"Hey!" Percy yelled.
"Sorry. I like teasing you. Anyway, I am very real."
"Thank you!" Percy said. "Bye!" He said and closed the phone.
After lunch, I walked up to Percy.
"Hey, Perce, do you want to go to the movies tonight?"
"Sure, but just as friends, right?" He asked me.
"Yeah." I said, hoping that my face didn't betray my disappointment.
After school, we all met in the parking lot to meet Percy's girlfriend. Percy was looking around really quickly. He looked like he was going to get whiplash or something! Suddenly a truck that said 'Delphi Strawberry Service' pulled up into the parking lot. For some reason Percy looked really excited to see it. There were really loud voices coming from it, and I could hear some of their conversations.
"Travis! Give me back my gloves!"
"But Katie, we didn't take them, did we Connor?"
"Jason! Get over here and tell Hazel that Jupiter is better than Pluto!"
"Okay Pip." (A/N sorry, I always could imagine someone calling Piper that. Just like I can imagine Percy calling Nancy Bobofit 'Bobo'.)
"Why did we come here just to pick Prissy up again?"
"Because if we didn't, he would probably get lost trying to find camp!" Huh. Weird conversations.
Suddenly Percy walked up to the van and walked inside.
"Okay, Katie, stop trying to strangle the Stolls, Thalia, Clarisse, stop fighting, Hazel, Piper, Jupiter and Pluto are equally as amazing-"
"And scary."
"-and scary, and Jason, Frank, stop helping Piper and Hazel argue." Percy said. Surprisingly they all did what they were told and the van was quiet. But then they all started being noisy and giving me a headache again.
"Percy!" They all said at once, with a few 'Seaweed Brains' and 'Kelp Head'.
"Oh, and Annabeth, to show everyone that you are a real person and that you are my girlfriend." Percy said. The girl from the photo walked out?
"Hi, my name's Annabeth Chase. I'm Percy's girlfriend." She is really pretty.
"Annabeth, get back in! We need to go to camp."
"Wait a minute!" She yelled. Then she turned back to us. "Alyssa, do you want to come as well?" She asked.
"Definetally." She said and walked in.
"Bye guys!" She said.
"Sorry Cleo! I'm going to have to miss the movie!" Percy yelled out.
I ran away, my eyes pricking with tears.
Do you want me to do a background of Alyssa (daughter of Athena)? Requests and suggestions are taken and are welcomed. Hey, does anyone want me to answer to reviews in my authors notes?
