Chapter 9

AN: Guys from now on I will be posting reviews as part of the chapter and answering them publicly :P

FrostKing21: NOOOO WHY!? HOW DID IT GET THERE ARRRRGHHH! Sorry its just so good! Cant wait till next chapter! One more thing, what did you mean when Thalia said "Like she's already attracted to him"? You'll probably see later, and I'm glad you like my stories :D

That was the only review for chapter 8. I'll be answering reviews publicly from chapters 9 and later.

Percy POV

I stared at my phone. Why did I have her number? Besides Annabeth, only one person knew her number.

Thalia.

It made so much sense, after all she had been to our house. But why had she given me her number? After all Thalia didn't want me with Annabeth. I kept on scrolling down until I found the number for pizza hut.

"Hello Percy. I'll be sending you the pizza right now. Would you like a drink and french fries as a side?"

" Yes, thank you." I hung up and waited for my pizza. Five minutes later a pizza delivery man popped into my suite.

"Here you go" I took the pizza and paid him, before starting to dig into my delicious meal.

Annabeth POV

"Argh! Thals, where's my laptop?" Thalia shrugged behind her own laptop.

"I don't know. What color is it?"

"It's grey, like my eyes."

"Annie, pretty much all laptops are silver/grey/white/black when you buy them. How am I supposed to know the difference?"

"Well, I'll just use the..." My eyes trailed towards Thalia's "laptop".

"Thals, let me see that laptop" I go over to her side and snatch it out of her hands.

"What were you doing? You have your own laptop."

"I know Annie, but I was just doing something. Thalia quickly pressed a couple of buttons on the keypad a deleted an app from my taskbar. The movement was so quick I didn't even see what app she deleted.

"Thals, what did you do?" I tried asking over and over again but her lips were sealed tighter than when she tied myself to a chair and covered me in glue. I shuddered at the memory.

"Ugh, well as long as it doesn't get a virus or something" Thalia ran out of the room, a mischievous look on her eyes. When she was gone, I looked at my browsing history.

"Hmm... some violent games, a purchase for a new xbox game? And... what else?" I kept scrolling through until I found something.

"Aha! Skype?" Curious, I opened it and found a contact already made. Their name was TheOceanIsCool. Hmm, interesting name. I quickly texted him.

Hey, what's up?

Hi, what's your name?

I quickly considered it, but decided not to tell the person. After all, I had just met them AND I didn't want the other person to be all freaking out that they met someone famous. I quickly looked at my profile and nearly fainted.

Annabeth Chase Skype

Accounts: thaliaiscoolerthanannabethhahaha

Mood: Not as good as Thalia because Thalia is awesome yeah

I quickly changed all of the settings and shut my laptop. Then, Thalia came bursting into the room.

"Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ANNIE!" Thalia screeched at the top of her lungs.

"WHAT THALS?"

"Nico and Percy are coming to our place-" But I couldn't hear anything once she said place.

"-and I don't know if our place is clean enough, and what if I don't impress him? Eeek!"

"Who the hell are you and what have you done to Thalia?" She looked up at me.

"Sorry Annie, I'm just excited!"

"Thalia, that's no excuse for you to be acting like this"

"Okay, I MIGHT have swiped some five hour energy from the store with your credit card" She bounced around the kitchen. "It feels soooooooo good!"

"So Nico isn't coming over?"

"Of course he is! Why would I lie to you?" I facepalmed.

"Nevermind... Anyways where should I go to so I can avoid Percy?"

"I'll hide you at their place, duh"

"Wait WHAT? Thalia that's a bad idea." I shook my head.

"No it isn't. We go to their place first since they don't know where we live. Then while I'm talking to them you hide in the closet and wait for them to go to our place. You get to chill out and eventually I'll do the same thing and you slip out" As ridiculous as it sounded, I found myself warming to the idea. After all, I had seen some nice classic books on the bookshelves...

"Oh and I'll even let you take your laptop and write there in case you get bored" I immediately perked up. Thalia never let me write so freely, and I couldn't let such an opportunity pass.

"Okay let's do this, so when are we going?"

"Uhh, right after you finish this juice" Thalia tapped a glass of half finished orange juice.

"Huh? Weren't you drinking that?"

"Well, I don't want any more sugar in my body after drinking that five hour energy" Nodding, I took it and slurped up the juice.

"Kay let's go" I followed Thalia into the elevator.

-Page Break-

"Isn't Annabeth supposed to be with you?" Percy asked. My heart fluttered at the question, but I quickly shut it out.

"Nah, she has... plans today" I curiously peeked out of the closet. Percy looked disappointed at her answer, but quickly masked his emotions with an expressionless face.

"Well, okay. Nico, come on!" Nico stepped into the elevator with Percy and went to our place. Once the elevator came back down, I stepped out of the closet and observed the room. Usually I got to see it, but I had never gotten the time to actually inspect it closely. I looked around, and checked every room carefully, until I got to Percy's room. I stepped in, and saw a familiar looking booklet on the floor looking at me. I knew that it was Percy's diary, and I didn't feel like opening it. However, the diary seemed to be taunting me, telling me to open it. Curious, I opened the book.

Today I went to the beach for a party, and I participated in the swimming contest. It went alright until Luke-

My reading was interrupted by the elevator dinging. Cursing, I closed the book and scrambled under the bed. I heard footsteps come in and saw someone bend down and grab the diary.

"Phew. I knew that I forgot to put it away" It was Percy. I heard some clicking noises and something close. Then, the footsteps eventually faded away and I heard the elevator go up. When I came back out, I saw that the diary wasn't on the ground again. Looking around the room, I saw a safe. I cautiously trotted up to the safe and shook it. Inside, I heard something move around, probably rectangular, and I knew the diary was inside. I looked at the lock and saw it had a combination. I walked back into the living room and turned on the TV. I watched a couple episodes of my favorite TV show, but by the fifth one I felt myself getting drowsy. By the sixth, my eyelids started drooping down, and before I knew it, I was asleep.

Thalia POV

"Did it work? " Nico whispered into my ear.

"Yeah, Annabeth's stuck at your place now"

"Don't you think that what we're doing could be wrong?" Nico asked. I tensed up beside him.

"No, why?"

"Well, romance is like a magnet, let's say. When two attract, it'll attract no matter what, unless you pull them apart. However, if they don't attract, no amount of force can put them together."

"Well if it doesn't work than we'll just have to switch the magnet"

Percy POV
As I watched the TV, I still felt a nagging sensation at the back of my mind, as if I had missed something. When I put my diary into the safe, it was as if there was a presence somewhere. However, I dismissed it as a stupid thought. After all, why would someone be in my room, much less hiding? I kept on watching the show with this thought in my mind, but something still felt wrong.

AN: I know this is a super super short chapter and I haven't uploaded for TWO days, but I hope you guys forgive me and don't try to murder me or anything. Anyways, I'll try to upload tomorrow too but idk if I can. Also, I'm on vacation starting June 16th and coming back July 11th. There is wifi where I'm going, but I don't know if I have enough time to write, so don't expect me to upload much, but also make sure to check this story every few days.
