Chapter 4
Percy has to admit that Annabeth has to most unique voice he has ever listened to and beautiful too. While singing with her, he couldn't stop but staring at her. He was wishing that Annabeth could join the Half-Blood House and thanked Thalia, it had come true.
It was not because he likes her or something. It was for the competition which they must win. If don't, then they will loss everything.
Flashback
Luke yawned and grabbed his coffee then opened the door since it was ringing for like decades. He was surprised to see Mr. Brunner at the door. Suddenly, he knew something is wrong by the expression on Mr. Brunner's face.
He invited Mr. Brunner in then closed the door. The elder sat down on an armchair in the living with tiredness.
"Guys, Chiron is here!" Luke yelled then the others rushed to living room.
After they settled down on the floor and sofa, Chiron looked at them. He hates to tell them this but he had to.
"Hey, kids. I've got bad news." The elder sighed then gave them a sad smile.
"I prefer good news." The Stolls whispered.
"Shut up!" Katie hissed and pinched them both.
"Listen, kids. I bet that you've heard about the Roman Kingdom right?" Everyone nodded.
"I hate those assholes." Clarisse crossed her arms then she bumped fist with Chris who agreed.
"They sent me this last evening. Take a look." Chiron gave a letter to Jason.
"Losers. Do they even know e-mails?" Connor laughed.
He opened it then read out loud. "Dear the Half-Blood House. We're the Roman Kingdom. We bet that you've heard about us and know how strong we are. To satisfy the talents we have, we need your house and all the equipments in there-"
"What?!" Everyone shouted. "No way!"
"Kids." Chiron scowled at them. "Please continue, Jason."
"Obviously, we won't kick you guys out which will be a lot easier but we decided to deal with this by a competition. There is a big competition for performers and we want you to join that with us. Whoever wins the competition will get the house. And we already have the permission of the minister who turns out be our coach. There is no other way you can do so you losers-"
"WE ARE NOT LOSERS!" Everyone yelled.
"They obviously want to get in our nerves!" Luke said angrily.
"Guys." Jason sighed.
"They're challenging us." Rachel said.
"Guys."
"Let's give them what they want! They want competition then they will have it." Said Leo.
"GUYS!" Jason yelled. "Calm down. This is a huge decision so we have to consider very carefully."
"There is nothing to consider about, Jas. They already have the minister's permission and if we don't do this then we'll loss everything." Percy said who was standing quietly in the corner.
Jason sighed then turned to the elder. "What do you think, Chiron?"
"There is no other way, right?"
"The decision is made. Now, we should better practice!" Beckendorf said then all of them rushed to the training area. Leaving Mr. Brunner, Jason and Percy behind.
"So I better leaving. I don't wanna disturb your training. See you kids around." Mr. Brunner got up then walked to the door.
"Hey, Chiron." Percy called. "We won't lose."
"I hope so, Percy. I hope so." With that he walked out of the door.
"How come you sure about not losing?" His roommates frowned.
"I don't." Then they walked to training room.
End of flashback
So that's the reason why they are kicking their butts off to win this thing. This house means a lot to them, and it has been Percy's true home. He just can't loss it.
"Percy? Percy? Hey." He blinked then looked at Rachel who was snapping her fingers in front of his face.
"Err…What was that?"
"I asked: Can we talk?" The red hair repeated.
"Sure. "But where is everybody?" They sat on the stage, and a silence covered the whole room.
"They're in the choreography room."
"Okay. So, what do you want to talk?"
"Annabeth."
"What about her?" Percy frowned.
"What the relationship between you and her? And don't even say she's your friend because I know she's not."
Percy was dumbfounded. Damn, why his girlfriend has to be this smart?
He let out a sigh then held his girlfriend's hand. "Listen, Rachel. You have to promise me that you will listen for the whole story. Promise?"
And Rachel responded him with a nod. He smiled then told her everything.
Rachel was completely shocked. She didn't know what to do but kept staring at the floor after she heard the story. She had been waiting for Percy for like a year, and 5 months ago they finally got together. Rachel thought that luck was finally there but this whole engagement thing had totally ruined it. She loves Percy with all her heart, she's never let anyone has him. But it seems hard to hold him especially in this kind of situation.
"I'm so sorry to put you in this situation, Rachel."
"So what are we gonna do now?" Rachel asked, feeling the fear of losing Percy was keep rising up inside her.
"I honestly don't know."
"Maybe we shou-"Her words were cut by a passionate kiss from Percy.
Annabeth was standing outside the room and had seen everything. She smiled sadly and walked to the choreography room. She didn't know why but she felt a little sad while seeing the scene. Now, she finally knows the girlfriend that Percy talked about when they were on the motorbike.
He definitely loves her. She thought then opened the choreography room door.
"Where are Percy and Rachel?" Nico asked, threw off his jacket.
"Kissing in the stage."
"Ha, I won! Where are my 5 bucks, mate?" Leo grinned then reached his hand to Jason.
The blonde hair stuffed a 5 dollar in his friend's hand with irritation.
"Okay, guys. Let's gather around." Luke said then warmed up. "We're losing time."
"Hey, Annabeth. Are you wanna get in practice now or tomorrow?" Jason asked.
"She'll do it on tomorrow." Percy cut her off.
The couple was standing by the door and hands in hands. Everyone looked at him then shot him grins, except for Annabeth.
"C'mon, Annabeth. I have a mission to bring you home before 10." He joked.
"Fine." She nodded then said goodbyes to everyone.
They walked to the parking lot in silence just like how they had walked to the house. Percy gave her the helmet then hopped on Blackjack. Annabeth was just holding the helmet and looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Percy frowned.
"You're really do love Rachel, right?"
He stopped for awhile then nodded. "Yeah. So?"
"I have an idea for this whole engagement stuffs."
