Alright, I know I've been gone for like over a month but I lost the charger to my computer, and I started school again earlier this month, and I like just finished a whole bunch of books that I was reading, so I guess that sort of makes up for everything. Not really. Anyway I will see you at the bottom of the page!
Annabeth (POV)
Alright, I guess Percy isn't all that bad. I mean he was annoying and barely did any of the work, but he wasn't a complete jerk. I guess this project might not be as bad as I thought it would be. It doesn't matter at the moment, because I'm not going to work with him today. Today I'm going to hang out with Thalia at her house. So considering that it's like, 9 o'clock, I should probably get ready to head over to her house.
I head over to my closet and pick out jeans and a sweater and some black boots. Easy and simple, like always. I heard my phone go off from the other room. I saw that it was from Thalia.
Thalia: Hey what time are you coming?
Me: Since when do you wake up this early?
Thalia: Well Jason got up early for some unknown reason, and blasted his music so loud at like 8.
Me: I would hate to be Jason when you got up.
Thalia: Lol, yeah. Seriously though, when will you get here, I'm bored.
Me: In like, 15 minutes.
Thalia: UGHHHHH.
Me: Patience my friend.
Thalia: Shut up, Annabeth.
Me: Fine.
I put my phone in my purse and walked out to the kitchen. I grabbed a granola bar and went to my car. As I drove I listened to my favorite song and sang along. Singing wasn't my strong suit, but hey, I try.
Some saw the sun
Some saw the smoke
Some heard the gun
Some bent the bow
Sometimes the wire
Must tense for the note
Caught in the fire
Say oh
We're about to explode
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
Carry your world
I'll carry your world
I would have continued but my phone rang again. I ignored it but by the time it turned off, I reached Thalia's Apartment building. Once I got there I knocked on the door but I didn't get to finish, because the door swung open.
"Good you're finally here. You took for-EVER." She said to me walking to her room. I followed
"Sorry, Thal's, how about next time I speed through the streets of Manhattan, jumping over cars and out running the cops?" I said sarcastically. She turned her head around.
"Perfect" she said with a smile. I rolled my eyes.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked.
"Let's go to the mall." She said.
"Alright fine, let's go" I replied starting to walk out of her room.
"Seriously Thal's, how long does it take to try on three shirts" I asked her from outside the changing room she was in. I looked back down at my watch. Its 12:34 and we got here at 12:20.
"Remember what you told me Annabeth? Patience." She replied trying to mimic my voice.
"Okay, first of all I sound nothing like that, and second, I was being patient, for like fourteen minutes."
"Alright, alright I'm done." She told me putting every shirt she picked out back on some random shelf in the store.
"Seriously, you're not getting any of them?"
"No, none of them look right on me" she replied walking out of the store and to the food court. "I'm hungry, let's get some food."
"Sure. What do you wa-?" I started to ask her as we started we walked, but then I saw them. And if I kept walking I would have to make conversation. I'm going to be honest, I really don't want to start a conversation with them. So I did the next best thing. I hid behind the garbage can, poking my head out slightly so that I could get Thalia.
"Thalia!" I whisper yelled. She turned around and walked over to me without getting down so I had to pull her down so she wouldn't blow my cover.
"Ow!" she whisper yelled in response. "Why are we hiding behind a garbage can?" She asked so I pointed them out to her. In one of the tables, I could see Rachel, Grover, Drew, and Percy. Both Percy and Grover looked annoyed.
"Wait a second, is that Rachel and Drew?" Thalia asked. "And are we hiding because you're scared of Rachel and Drew, or are you scared of Percy?" As soon as I heard his name, my stomach did a Judo-flip, and my cheeks started to feel warm. What is happening to me? "You're scared to talk to Percy." She said looking at me in amusement. "You know what I think you've developed a little cru-"I didn't let her finish.
"Come on lets go, I'm honestly not hungry anymore, so…" I told her standing up slightly and walking out of the food court while dragging her along.
"No, you can't get out of this one that easily." She told me. I turned around.
"Thalia, I will do anything, please can we just go somewhere else?" I asked her quite pleadingly.
"Anything?' she asked.
"Anything." I told her reassuringly.
"Okay." She said with a mischievous grin on her face. "Let's go." She said starting to walk toward the entrance. Uh-oh. What is she going to do?
Alright so that's the chapter for you. The song that I mentioned is Atlas by Coldplay. I think it is honestly so cool because it's called Atlas and the words are "Carry your world" and in the books it mentions Atlas having to hold the sky on his shoulders. Also in the video, when it says "some bent the bow", it shows a girl with a bow and arrow but the bow looks like a moon, so I believe that it is Artemis. Anyway if you are a Hunger games fan then you might know the song from catching fire, but I really do recommend that song so you guys should listen to it if you haven't yet.
Also I want to thank everyone that's been reviewing this story, it really means a lot to me.
Well make sure that you review telling me what you think, and no flames because we aren't Leo, or Hephaestus.
Have a wonderful day!
