I picked up pace to get up to a sprint. I ran along the green grass of central park emineme blaring through my headphones that were connected t my iphone which was strapped to my upper arm. My blond ponytail bounced with every step some pieces stuck with sweat to my back but the crisp October air kept my body at a bearable temperature. I slowed down to a walk and put my hands on my hips panting catching my breath and walking down the street back to mine, Carter, and Thalia's brownstone.
It was early Saturday morning Midtown was alive with noise but up on the west side I only passed a few early morning joggers. The die young by Kesha played on my iPhone and I sang along. I came the big black door of the brownstone that Carter Thalia and I shared.
"Let's make the most of the night like were gonna die young." I sang locking the front door and walking into the kitchen and grabbing a BLK water and a grapefruit out of the fridge. I balanced both on my arm grabbing a knife out of the drawer and setting on the counter cutting it in half. I shuffled the songs and The A Team by Ed Sherian.
"White lips, pale face, breathing in the snowflakes." I sang walking into the living room to watch the morning news before Thalia and Carter woke up and Thalia would start to watch her reruns of the real world St. Thomas.
"It's too cold out side for angles to fly." I sang flipping the light switch on.
As soon as the lights went on people jumped out from behind pieces of furnitures yelling surprise and happy birthday. To say I was a little startled would be an understatement. I sort of threw the grapefruit and my BLK Everywhere and threw the knife and it impaled into the wall next to Spencer's face.
"Holy shit Annabeth!" Spencer said coming up looking at the knife now a good 3 inches in the wall.
"Sorry."
Percy came over and hugged me. "Happy Birthday Wisegirl!" Percy said hugging me around the waist me putting my arms around his neck barring my face into his neck.
"Okay now break this up and put on clothes Annabeth cause your gonna have an amazing 18 birthday." Thalia told me.
I looked down at my lime green sports bra with my light watermelon pink Nike Pros and blushing a tad. I walked up stairs and took a quick shower and put on jeans tan boots a navy blue and white stripped long sleeve shirt with a white North Face outer vest.
I let my hair fall over my shoulders and I put on my normal make up, lip gloss, tan eyeshadow, and mascara.
I walked down the stairs to find everyone sitting on the sofa and surrounding chairs.
"LET'S GO!" Kat said taking off for the door.
"She's a little excited." Percy said opening the door for me like a gentleman.
We all loaded into my Range rover and Spencer's BMW. I got into the passenger side and Percy the drivers side as Max Carter Thalia and Nico crawled into the back.
"Where are we going?" I asked as we passed endless skyscrapers.
"Not telling." Percy said smirking.
"Are you serious?" I said to everyone in the car.
"It's only a short drive hang in there Princess." Nico told me.
"Fine." I said crossing my arms. " And don't call me that." I said turning back to Nico.
He just chuckled and I turned back to the window to continue looking at the passing buildings.
******************************************LINE BREAK*******************************************
We arrived at in an empty parking lot with a sign alive with neon color that read 10 pins Bowling alley.
"Are you serious?" I asked as we excited the car.
"Dead Serious." Carter said.
"We don't take Bowling as a joke." Max said holding the door open.
We each got a pair of shoes and picked from a rack of bowling balls and went to our two lanes. Percy, Max, Carter, Nico, Thalia, and I all in one lane and Kat, Spencer, Sadria, Connor, Travis, and Katie in another.
"I CALL BEING THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!" Percy yelled.
"That's cocky." Carter said.
"And it wont fit in the box." Kat filled in.
When everyone finally settled on their name we started the game and lets just say that Max can't bowl. He threw the ball so that was a start...to bad it was in the wrong direction.
"Do they teach ya nothing down in the desert?" Percy yelled to Max after he threw another gutter ball.
"Well having the Curse of Achilles might help you." Max pointed out and he was right Percy was in first followed by me Carter Thalia Nico And then Max struggling far behind.
"Percy walked over to the controls and hit bumpers and the grey rails popped up on the sides. Max went again...and threw the ball over the bumper and into the gutter.
"Now that takes skill." Percy informed us.
"Slow clap for Max." Thalia said and we all slowed clapped for Max as he walked back.
At the end I won the game and Spencer won theirs. We loaded back into the cars except Percy and I were the only ones who got into my Range Rover, "Where's everyone going?" I asked
"Just you and me going to lunch."
We drove for about 15 minutes until we got to a cute little french cafe and went inside. We held hands across the table and talked and ate fabulous food. It was honestly perfect. After we went to central park to stroll around. We walked in the crisp October air encased in each others arms talking about anything and everything.
We got back into the Range Rover and drove back to my Brownstone. Percy dropped me off and told me to go inside. When I walked in I found all the girls there with a beautiful blue dress and they did my hair and makeup. I put a pair of black pumps on and grabbed a black clutch. The boys came and picked us up and took us to to the palm for dinner. We got a large round table and we all ordered. We ate and had so much fun. When dessert was served Percy stood up holding up his coke.
"Happy Birthday Wisegirl I and everyone else love you so much." He toasted and leaned down to kiss me.
A few more of my friends gave toast that warmed my heart so I decided to thank everyone.
"Y'all Are the most amazing friends and boyfriend I could ever ask for this senior year is gonna be great." I said raising my ice tea and everyone did the same.
AN: Hope y'all like the chapter and please review y'all, it would make my night:)
