Percy's POV:
Nico confirmed that girls were going to come over. We cleaned up as best we could. I mean I don't think you would want your underwear on the living room floor when a pretty girl showed up. Mom was going to say hi and then go on a date with Paul. The house was decent so Nico and I got dressed. We dressed casual and then came downstairs to wait. We played video games for 15 minutes then the doorbell rang. I turned off the system while Nico answered the door.
"Hey guys! Come on in. My mom wanted to meet you guys but then she's going to head out."
Thalia and Annabeth took off their shoes and set them by the door. Mom came down the stairs while trying to put on her shoe. Luckily she didn't trip and fall flat on her face.
"Hello! I'm Percy's and Nico's mother."
Annabeth and Thalia shook her hand, introduced themselves, and smiled.
"Well Mrs. Jackson you look beautiful."
"Oh why thank you Annabeth! And please call me Sally! Mrs. Jackson makes me feel so old."
"Alright Sally."
"Ok boys I'll be back in a couple of hours. Be good."
After she left we all just stood awkwardly in the living room.
"So um what do you guys wanna do?"
"Well do you guys just want to watch a movie or something?"
"Sure good idea Thalia."
Nico made popcorn while I got blankets. The girls were picking the movie and I really hope it isn't some chick flick. When we all got comfortable Annabeth pressed play. Surprisingly the girls picked "The Avengers." Thalia and Nico were cuddling on the loveseat and sharing a blanket. Nico just needs to ask her out already! They act like they're dating anyway! Annabeth and I were on the couch,, but there was a huge space in between us. No one really talked during the movie. There wasn't much to say. We watched 2 more movies after that. By the time the second one was done it was about 9 30. It was dark out. We started talking about what school was going to be like. We are all going to be seniors at Goode High School. (Nico Thalia Percy Annabeth)
"So are you guys excited for school?"
"Uh I guess? I mean I'm excited to be a senior and all that but school is school its boring. Besides I only really talk to you and Annabeth."
"Well maybe you'll make new friends this year! And hey you now have me!"
"Oh goody she replies sarcastically."
"You could have at least somewhat happy about it."
"Percy don't be all butt hurt. What about you Annabeth?"
"Um yea I guess."
I was about to ask why she was so quiet, she didn't really seem into the conversation, but before I could the door was unlocked and opened. My mom and Paul walked through and greeted us. They had really big smiles on their faces. I thought they were drunk.
"Hey guys! Paul and I are getting married!" Ok so I was right they are drunk.
Nico's and my jaws drop to the floor. I had nothing against Paul he was a good guy I just don't know how I feel about him becoming my new stepdad. My mom did seem really happy so I guess that's what matters.
"Um that's great mom when did he ask you?"
My mom was busy showing Annabeth and Thalia her ring to answer so Paul did.
"I asked her today and she said yes."
Nico and I shook his hand and congratulated him. My mom was giving everyone hugs.
"Boys I' going to spend the night at Paul's so be good!"
I shuddered. I didn't even want to think about what they were going to do. As quickly as they came they left. Nico turned to Thalia. His hands were shaking. I think he's FINALLY going to ask her out.
"So um Thalia….I was thinking…you know maybe if you wanted to…you don't have to! But uh I was thinking you and I could go to the wedding together?"
"You want me to go as your… date?"
"Um yea but you don't have to! Uh forget I asked."
"No! um yea Nico I'd love to go with you."
"Really? Great! Um maybe we can talk about it over dinner Friday?"
"Yea that sounds good."
Now they both were blushing. I decided to give them their moment. I whispered to Annabeth.
"Hey let's give them their space. C'mon I know somewhere we can go."
She nodded and followed me upstairs. I opened my window and we crawled on the roof. Annabeth followed me out. It wasn't to cold out so i didn't bring a coat. The silence night sky was filled with stars. Annabeth was looking up at them. I wanted to get to know her. Now seemed like a good time.
"Do you like the stars?"
"Yea."
"Why?" I wasn't going to except short answers.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Because I want to get to know you better."
"Why though?"
"I find you interesting and want to know more about you...so please?"
She sighed and I didn't know whether or not that was a good thing.
"I like the stars because I tend to think easier when I'm looking at them. The stars calm me. My mom… she uh… passed away and now I like to think she's a star looking down at me. I like to think she's still with me somehow."
"You know my dad passed away too. Same with Nico's. My dad was lost at sea. I got my love of water from him, so now whenever I'm near water I know he's with me. Same with your mom she may not be physically here but she'll always be with you."
"Thanks. So anything else you want to know?"
"Just the basics about Annabeth Chase."
Annabeth and I stayed up talking until she realized how late it was. Annabeth and I talked about our favorite colors, animals, things to do, and places. Whenever I asked her about something personal like her family or past she would tense up and change the subject. I guess she didn't fully trust me yet. I was going to earn her trust if it was the last thing I do. Annabeth is just so interesting and mysterious, I wanted to figure her out.
Nico and Thaila got together that night. They told us when Annabeth and I caught them kissing goodnight. Mom and Paul are going to get married during break so we'll be off of school. Which is starting in about a week. I am not at all ready for it, but I guess having Annabeth, Thalia and Nico by my side it won't be so bad. I want my senior year to be one of my best years ever. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.
Sorry for the ending! I wasn't sure how to end this chapter. Tell me what you guys thought! I might do a huge time skip to the wedding or do some filler chapters on the school year. I'm not sure yet. Oh and I don't own the Avengers! I love that movie though. And with the underwear thing that happened to my brother. It was embrassing for him, super funny for me! :P
