Chapter 7: Movie Night
Annabeth's POV
"So Frank just called he asked if he could bring his roommate along," Hazel said coming into me and Piper's room where I was helping Piper with her math work.
"Oh that's sounds fine to me," Piper said looking up.
Hazel looked to me, "Rachel already said okay so it's just up to you."
"Yeah sure I don't care," I said turning back to my reading. "What movie are we seeing tonight?"
"Not sure yet, any ideas?" hazel asked.
"Well whose turn is it?" I asked. See the four of us could never agree on a movie since Piper liked classic romance like 'sleepless in Seattle' or 'Romeo and Juliet'. I liked documentaries, Rachel liked horror and Hazel she liked indie.
"Um Piper's I think," Hazel said. "So what will it be?" she asked Piper.
"Titanic of course," she smirked when both Hazel and I groaned.
"Yuck okay well movie starts in half an hour and Frank and roommate will be here any minute." With that she left.
"Do you think she even knows the guys name?" I asked stretching.
"I don't think so she said she never met him," Piper said putting away from schoolwork.
"That's weird."
"Yeah I wonder why? Well I guess we'll see."
And we did.
"Hey Hazel," Frank said coming to through the door and giving her a kiss.
"Oh you must be-" hazel stopped and I looked up are you serious?!
"Hi Percy," she said raising her eyebrow.
"Hello again Hazel," he grinned.
"Wait you two know each other?" Frank said he looked slightly panicked.
"Yeah we all met Percy on Friday at that teen club," Piper said smiling.
"Yeah we met pretty briefly well except Rachel she um got some quality time with him," hazel said smirking.
"Wait you did Rachel?" frank asked Percy.
"Um well yeah I figured you knew considering she went back to the dorm with me," Percy said looking slightly embarrassed.
"Oh small world I guess," Hazel said.
"Well come in and lets get movie night started, oh perfect here's Jason," she smiled as her boyfriend entered and leaned down to kiss her gently.
"Thanks so much for letting me join you, its really nice- crap," Percy had finally noticed me.
"Why hello to you too," I said in a sickly sweet voice.
"Hey teach," he said with that oh so familiar smirk on his very attractive face.
"Yeah I am going to be in my room," I said to the others, "let me know when that leaves."
"Annabeth please stay," Piper said pleadingly as I stormed into our room.
"Should I or-" Hazel voice said from the other room.
"I got it," Piper said and knocked on the door.
"I would say don't come in but its your room too so come in," I said.
"Annabeth come he is not that bad," she said coming in.
"Are you serious?!" I exclaimed I didn't care if he could hear me. "Look I just spent two torturous hours with him and I was looking forward to relaxing and watching a stupid movie with my friends and now look who's here."
"Okay fair enough but if you change your mind I brought some microwave kettle corn."
She left with a wink.
"I'll go if you want I get it," Percy's muffled voice said. Yes leave and never come back.
"No its fine she just needs to cool off," Piper said the ever gracious host.
"Hey y'all," I heard Rachel burst into the dorm. "Oh hi Percy."
"Hey Rachel, nice seeing you again."
"Yeah you too, does Annabeth know?" she asked.
"Yup she's in her room," Hazel said.
"Oops bet she's pissed, she really doesn't like you," she said probably to Percy.
"I still say she is in denial," Piper said.
"I heard that!" I yelled through the door. The girls giggled.
"Denial about what?" Percy asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all," I said coming out.
"Ha!" Piper said to Rachel, "pay up!"
"Ugg fine," Rachel said and handed Piper a 10.
"You bet on me?" I asked frowning.
"Never mind lets start the movie," Hazel said quickly and we all sat down.
"can we watch like Harry Potter? We all like those," Rachel said as Piper opened the DVD case for titanic.
"We have see all those like a billion times," she said.
"But we have all seen this one a billion times as well," Rachel said.
"Twice, you have seen it twice," Piper said and slid in the disc.
"And that was two too many," I said.
"You said it sister," Rachel said giving me a high five.
"Its turn, therefore I get to choose and I choose this one," Piper said as the previews started to play.
"Please!" Hazel said who was cuddled up to Frank, he kissed her cheek and tightened his arm around her, bring her closer obviously ignoring the discussion.
"Fine we can watch Harry Potter, six one?" she asked.
"How about the third?" Percy suggested from his spot on the stool.
"Yeah I love that one," Hazel said. "I love watching Emma Watson punch Tom Felton, she is such a bamf in that one."
"Tom Felton is so hot," Rachel said coming in with a big bowl of popcorn.
"True story," Piper said Jason frowned and she shot him a guilty smile and shrugged as if to say 'well its true'. "Third it is."
The movie started, and all that could be heard was popcorn munching and scary music of the movie, I looked over at him. I glared so hard, hoping he would disappear but instead he turned toward me.
"What?" he mouthed, I scowled and turned to the movie. I felt the couch move next to me and I glanced over and whom do I see? That right Percy Jackson sitting right next to me, his leg was touching mine, my shoulder up against his upper arms. He was radiating heat, warming me; I had the sudden urge to snuggle up again him, whoa! Where did that come from? You hate him remember!?
"I sorry I didn't know you'd be here," he whispered in my ear, his warm breath on my neck making me shiver. I flinched, jerking my head away from him.
"Keep your stinky breath away from me," I hissed, well it wasn't actually smelly …but he didn't need to know that.
"Fine whatever," he said quietly, shaking his head he moved farther away from me on the couch, instantly I feel the loss of heat, I crossed my arms and draw my legs up, my knees up against my chest, my arms rapped around them, I put my chin down to rest on my knees. I focused my attention back to the movie.
Percy's POV
Who does she think she is? I fumed to myself; I apologized even though it should be her who should be apologizing! I glanced over at the bitchy blonde, Annabeth was curled up in a small ball. She looked so small and young with her chin on her knees, I wondered for the millionth time why did she hate me so much. I had assumed that everyone hated her that she was just an unpleasant person, but all of these girls were friends with her and loved her, anyone could tell that, so why me?
I felt eyes on me so I turned toward Rachel, who smiled and winked. I grinned back at her, I really liked her, I mean I would never sleep with her again 'cause that would break my rule but she seemed like a cool girl I could do with another friend.
When she turned back to the movie my eyes wandered to my roommate Frank, he looked so happy snuggled up with that girl in his arms, it made me smile. Hazel seemed perfect for him, and he for her. I watched as Frank leaned down to kiss her forehead with a big smile and as Hazel glanced up and smiling to she kiss him on the lips and then snuggled deeper into Frank chest. The scene made me sort of sad and nostalgic, sometimes I miss that, sometimes I want that. A real girlfriend who you could snuggle with and watch a movie, someone to take to dinner, someone to walk to her door and kiss her goodnight, someone to love and someone to love you…yeah that wouldn't be to bad, right? Wrong. I had made that mistake once and I am not going to ever make it again.
With that resolve on my mind I looked back towards the screen.
Hey sorry this character took so long, and its crap but yeah I don't really have an excuse besides the fact that I'm lazy. Anyway please review but don't be too mean I know its crap so if you hate it just say 'its interesting'
Hope you all are well!
