Goode High School for Performing Arts

Chapter 7 - Truce , Drew and Shopping

ANNABETH :(Yeah , it revolves around Annabeth , Percy , Malcom and Thalia mostly .)

I woke up the next morning to music blaring throught the speakers from my brother's room . Does he have to listen to music in the morning ? What's worst ? It's Justin Bieber . I took a shower and wore a sleeveless blue blouse and a white mini skirt . I picked up my bag and went downstairs . My family was there except for my step-mom . I sat down and started to eat my half-boiled eggs .

"Where's mom ?", I asked . I really want to call her step-mom but Dad thinks its rude .

"She's tired and has a hangover . I guess she was drunk last night .", said Dad . He didn't make it a big deal . Us four siblings exchanged glances . Hangover + nuisance = Mom has a big headache and will not bother us . We were all thinking the same thing but my dad gave us a glare and we postponed the plan . Anyway , Malcom and I excused ourselves for school and Malcom wanted to take his car . I really don't care as long as I get to school .

He parked and I went out first . We walked in after he checked to make sure he locked it . Malcom is a big pushie when it comes to his car . Just don't ask why . I walked to my locker and Malcom went to his which was not far . We were one of the fews there . Someone put a hand on my shoulder . I turned to see Thalia . SHe was with her usual spikey hairdo and black clothes .

"Hey Thals .", I greeted her , taking out my binder . I took a look one last time at my schedule before closing my locker .

Wednesday - homeroom , vocals , music , technic , lunch , singing , dancing , dancing , drama .

She dragged me over to Malcom's .

"Why are you guys early ?", she asked . We shrugged . I have to tell her about the bet .

"You know , I asked Malcom to spy on Luke and Percy but get this , Malcom said that they made a bet on me .", I told her . Her face was shocked but her eyes said another expression . I have a feeling that she's either hiding something or she already knows . When I was about to ask , she walked away , saying she needs to go to the bathroom . Oh , well . The next person to walk in was Rachel . Just the girl I needed to see .

"Rachel , wait .", I said , running after her . She reluctantly did that and I had a good look at her . Her eyes were puffy and red . No doubt about the Luke sitch .

She gave me a nasty glare and asked , "What ?".

"Would you like to be my partner for a show we are doing tomorrow ?", I asked . She had no expression . Please say yes ! "We'll perform for the stars who are coming and I bet there will be reporters ."

"Fine . I will but if you know who is coming tell me first .", she said . I nodded and walked away but as I rounded a corner , someone grabbed me and pushed me against a locker .

"Drew ?", I asked . Her eyes were also red and puffy but not as bad as Rachel's . "What do you want ?"

"Listen you brat . Don't think that when you enter this school , you can be anyone you want just because you are the Principal's niece . ", she spat at me . I looked at her in disbelief .

"I am who I am , Drew . I wasn't trying to be anybody .", I denied her accusations . I pushed her back . "Get lost ."


THALIA :

This is bad . Annabeth already knows about the bet . She'll probably make things harder for Percy . And Malcom is one trusty dude . I could get him to find out Nico's darkest secrets . I rounded the corner and met Percy and Nico .

"Hey Thalia .", said Nico . I had no time to talk . Instead , I dragged them both and went to Luke's usual hang out . He was sitting with his buds .

"Luke !", I shouted . He looked at me before talking to his friends again . "It's about Annabeth .", I shouted again . That seemed to get his attention . He jogged over here . I explained to them the situation .

"Annabeth knows about the bet .", I said . Percy and Luke were shocked but Nico was confused .

"What bet ?", he asked but neither of us paid attention to him .

"What do we do now ?", asked Percy . I already have a plan devised .

"Tomorrow is the show , right ? You two will perform after Annabeth does each with your chosen song to win her .", I said . They nodded before running off . But , Nico was still there .

"What is that about ?", he asked , dumbfounded . I tried my best not to laugh . I grabbed his arm and promised to tell him later . He agreed . We went in . The ball rang a few minutes later .


PERCY :

Shoot , Annabeth knows . It will be much harder . In class , I sat by Annabeth and tried to act casually . When I talked to her , I was surprised that she didn't tell me that she knew the bet . She was a great actress and that's one of the reasons I love her . Ugh , real cheesy there .Halfway through music , we were called to the principal's office . I think its about the visit the next day .

We sat on the chairs in the room as he watched us . The vice was sitting on another chair .

"Right . Peter and Annabella right ?", asked the vice principal , Mr . Dionysus . I rolled my eyes . Is he doing that on purpose ?

"Percy and Annabeth .", I said , correcting him .

"You two will be doing performances tomorrow . I have arranged Silena to be the costume designer . Today , you don't have to go to class but you can rehearse . Take whoever you need . Here are passes for the whole day . ", he said , giving us papers . We were about to go out the door when he told us the stars that are coming tomorrow .

"Avril Lavigne , Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber .There will also be other reporters coming .", he said . We smiled and went out . I went to get the DemiGods and Annabeth went to get Rachel . I told the teacher the situation and she gave an excuse to Jason , Leo and Frank .I also asked for Thalia . They went to get Passes . I continued to walk and arrived at the hall .

I walked in to see Annabeth sitting in one of the seats and waiting for the others .

"Hey .", I said as I joined her . She nodded .

"I have Rachel and three dancers on my team .", she said , unexpectedly . Rachel ?

"Why Rachel ?", I asked . She shrugged . On cue , Rachel and three others entered as well as the rest of the DemiGods with Thalia . We formed a circle on the middle of the stage and sat down .


ANNABETH :

We sat in a circle on the middle of the stage .

"Tomorrow , Avril Lavigne , Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are coming . There will also be some reporters .", I said . Rachel let out a squeal . Then , we heard another squeal come from across the room . Jason stood up and walked over there . We heard thrashing and a bit of screaming . Jason brought out Drew . I stood up . If she heard this , there is only one thing to do .

"Drew , under no circumstances will you perform tomorrow . Much less , try to steal Justin from Selena .", I said . She stuck her tongue out at me . Ugh . So kid like . Jason pushed her out and locked the door . Then , he lowered the binds . We sat back down .

"Ok . Umm... Percy and the DemiGods will be doing that new song , 'Livin' on a High Wire ' . Thalia would do it with them . Rachel and I would do a song . And that's it .", I said , concluding .

"I suggest we do Avril .", said Rachel . I sighed . Drama ...

"Which song ? Smile ? When you're gone ? Girlfriend ?", I asked . She shook her head . She looked me in the eye and lowered her voice for dramatics .

"We will do What the Hell .", she said , in a shrill voice .

"Ok then . Let's get to work .", I said . The DemiGods got on stage and rearranged their instruments . Rachel , the three girls and I formed a plan while Thalia just sat on a chair and texted who knows who about who knows what .

"Ok . Um , Rachel , you'll sing this part . I'll sing this and you three will join in when we see a spot that requires multiple voices . Now for the choregraphy .", I said , walking to the stage . We stood on the stage and planned the choreography . I climbed on the piano . I stood on it . It could handle my weight .

"For the bridge , I'll sing up here and jump down .", I said . One of the girls , Gwen , looked at me in worry .

"What if you fall ?", she asked . I jumped down .

"Don't worry . I won't .", I reassured her . We continued with the choreography . I took a glance at the boys and saw Percy doing some singer stunts . And boy , did he look hot . My eyes widened when I realised what I just thought . Annabeth , snap out of it . He made a bet remember !

We rehearsed until the end of the school period . We were ready to lock up until Silena and Piper burst into the room . They immediately lunged at me .

"What are you guys doing ?", I asked , pulling my hands back . Piper repaired her hair . I can see why . Jason is staring at her . I think they like each other . Piper fluttered her eyelids .

"We are going shopping !", shrieked Silena . I shook my head . Shopping is not my thing .

"Nuh-uh . ", I said .

"Yes !"

"No !"

She gave me her impression of puppy -dog eyes . I couldn't resist .

"Fine but Thalia has to come . ", I said . She shot up and smacked my hand .

"Why ?", she asked . I grinned .

"You owe me a sweater remember ?", I said and she facepalmed herself . We grabbed our bags and were , practically dragged out by Silena and Piper .

PERCY :

Rachel and the three girls also left .We laughed as soon as they were out of the earshot . It was very funny . Thalia's expression was priceless .

"Jason , if you want Piper as your girl , you might as well prepare yourself for shopping .", I said , slumping into a chair . We were still laughing but this time because of Jason's face . Jason thought of a comeback .

"But , Perce , we all know that you dig that Annabeth girl .", he said , making me shut up . He high-fived with Leo and they stared at my expression . They started laughing and I sort of blushed . Dude , Percy stop blushing ! , I thought to myself . Well she was hot on stage in her skirt and sleeveless top . We packed out and left the hall .


THALIA :

Shopping with Silena and Piper was torture . If I hear them babble about that sequin top one more time , I am going to scream ! I dragged Annabeth to a store and I stopped in front of a clothes rack .

"Pick your sweater so I don't have to be stuck with them !", I whined . She smirked . Then she shook her head .

"No thank you . If I have to go through this , you have too .", she said confidently . I gave her my best ice -glare and thought of a threat .

"Annabeth , please ! I'll do anything !", I wailed . She smiled .

"Anything ?", she asked . I nodded . She thought for a sec .

"Ok . I want this sweater .", she said , holding out a grey one . I bought it for her and left as soon as I can . Annabeth went out of the store to tell Silena and piper why I left . Annabeth is going to thank me one day for her and Percy . Tomorrow , I have the perfect plan to get them together .


Thalia's up to something . I keep asking you questions , don't I ? Anyway , what is the girl up to ? 5 comments for next chapter on what you think will happen .

When I watch Hercules , I will never look at it the same way again because of Percy Jackson . Thalia is one of the nine muses right ? Anyway , stay tuned and blare your speakers on for , Livin on a High Wire by Lemonade Mouth , Smile by Avril Lavigne , Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne , What the hell by Avril Lavigne , Somebody to love by Justin Bieber (Glee cover) and In my head by Jason Derulo .
