I have no idea how long its been since I've updated...you probably all want to kill me now. T_T Anyways, enjoy!
"Annabeth! Where have you been? I've been trying to text you ever since you got home!" Thalia excliamed through the phone.
"Sorry, Thal. Its just that...I just got a surprise. That's all." I replied.
"Surprise? What kind of surprise?" Thalia asked. "Like a present?"
"Well, you can't wrap it." I joked.
"Anyways, me, Jason, and Nico figured out a plan to convince your parents to let you stay in Manhattan!" Thalia cried.
"That's great, Thal! But you don't need to worry-" I began to say, but was interupted by Thalia's plans.
"We were thinking that you and Percy start dating! Well pretend dating. Since Percy's such a goody-guy and his dad's a teacher, if you two start dating your parents might think his 'goodness' would rub off on you! Then they'll definitely let you stay in Manhattan so you can date Percy!" Thalia explained.
I laughed to myself. "That's great, Thalia. But you don't need to worry about tha-"
"Tomorrow you'll bring Percy to your house and introduce him to your parents! Then Percy'll start bragging about what a smartass he is. Your parents'll be a suckers for him!" Thalia laughed.
"But Thal-"
Thalia interupted me again, getting too excited. "Don't worry. Percy'll definitely agree to this. I've already got Jason and Nico out with Percy to a movie to talk about the plan. It's flawless, Anna-"
"Thalia! Percy came over today!" I blurted into the phone.
Thalia stopped talking, but picked up right after. "What? He came over to your house? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I tried to but you wouldn't shut up!" I replied.
"Why did he come over?" Thalia asked.
"Well, he was trying to convince my parents to let me stay in Manhattan." I began.
"Did it work? Are you staying?" Thalia demanded.
"Amazingly, he's not as much of a seaweed brain as I thought. He was able to convince my parents to let me stay. Well my mom at least." I explained.
"YES!" Thalia screamed, shrieking into the phone.
"And also..." I hesistated about continuing.
"Also what?" Thalia asked.
"Do you think...I mean, what do you think about...about..." I stammered, unsure how to ask Thalia my question.
Thalia snorted on the other side. "I can't believe how hard it is for you to ask one simple question! But...yes Annabeth, I do think you and Percy make a good couple."
"That's not what I was going to ask you!" I cried.
"Sure, it wasn't...Annie." Thalia laughed.
"Shut up, Thalia!" I demanded.
Thalia laughed.
"Thalia Grace, do you know what time it is?" a deep voice boomed on the other end. Probably Thalia's dad. "Have you even begun your homework? I won't have you slacking, young lady!"
"Whoops. Gotta go. Night Annabeth!" Thalia said on the other end before hanging up immediately.
I sighed, hanging up my phone and placing it on my bedstand. I looked at my clock and it was pretty late. 11:34 PM.
As I prepared for sleep, I kept on thinking about Percy. He did have a pretty nice smile and his green eyes.
"Whoa, Annabeth. Your thinking crazy." I said to myself, shaking my head and dragging me back to the reality.
But I wasn't looking forward to reality tomorrow.
So what do you think about Annabeth's feelings for Percy now? Don't worry! I know this chapter was pretty lame but I had to get back into the way of things in this story!
Anyways, get ready for the next chapter cause theres a "Christmas present" for Percabeth fan! x3
Thanks for reading and review? :)
