Chapter 10
Annabeth POV
We all looked towards the front door and saw my mom, fuming.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Mom and Poseidon screamed at the same time.
"I AM VISITING MY DAUGHTER BARNACLE BEARD" she screamed
"I WAS INVITED TO DINNER WITH MY FAMILY TO MEET MY SON'S FRIEND OWL HEAD! (my mother runs a rehabilitation center for injured owls because she believes they are very smart birds)" he screamed back
They looked over at us, still leaning on each other. We quickly straightened up.
"ANNABETH ERIN CHASE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THIS…SEA SPAWN?" Mom yelled shifting her anger towards me.
"Just because you don't like his dad it doesn't mean I can't be friends with Percy." I said calmly.
"I WILL NOT ALLOW MY DAUGHTER TO SPEND TIME WITH MY ENEMEY'S SON" she shouted
"THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY SON" Percy's dad screamed at her
The fighting continued like this for a while longer. It finally ended when Sally got Poseidon's attention and said,
"I think it's time for us to go now. Thanks for dinner, it was lovely meeting you."
"Thanks for coming; we'll have to do this again sometime." Helen replied, nervously eying my mom. I got the feeling she didn't like the idea of my family spending time with Percy's.
After the Jacksons left my mom continued to yell at me. I tuned her out but I didn't need to be paying attention to know what she was upset about. Finally, after like half an hour of her yelling at me, I snapped.
"I'M NOT TEN YEARS OLD YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHO I CAN AND CAN'T BE FRIENDS WITH!"
My mom was shocked. I'd never raised my voice at her before. Before she could say anything else I stomped up to my room and locked the door.
Once I was there I called Thalia to vent.
(a/n bold-Thalia italics-Annabeth)
Hello?
Hey Thals
Oh hey Annabeth. What's up?
Oh not much. Percy and his parents came over to dinner then my mom burst in and got in a huge fight with Poseidon and told me I can't be friends with Percy any more…you know the usual.(a/n I know that was a giant run on just ignore it)
Holy shit
I know
You had my cousin over for dinner with my aunt and uncle?
Thalia you're missing the point! My mom came in and flipped out about Percy!
Why, I mean I know she doesn't like Uncle P but Percy's ok. It's not like you guys are dating.
…
Annabeth?
…..
I know you're still there
…..
WHAT? YOU'RE DATING MY COUSIN?
Ow Thalia! God, burst my eardrums why don't you!
You and Percy…wow. I was actually kind of expecting it.
You what?
Yeah…all of us were.
Wow
Anyway, we were all thinking about having a sleep over, wanna come?
Who's all of us?
The girls
I have to ask but I'd love to come
Great it's at my house; you can either come over at five or just come home from school with me
I'll come straight home with you to help set up
Great! See you tomorrow!
Bye
I hung up and started getting ready for bed. There was a knock on my door,
"Annabeth? It's Helen"
"Come in" I called
Helen came in looking tired.
"How are you?" she asked
"I'm fine, I'm sorry my mom ruined dinner" I apologized
"She didn't ruin it honey…she made it, uh, interesting"
I had to laugh at that.
"So tell me about Percy" she said. I knew this was coming. I hate to admit it but I'm glad it's Helen asking not my mom.
"Well, he's a pop star, he goes to my school, he's Thalia's cousin, his dad is Poseidon Jackson…" I rambled on before she interrupted me.
"I already know all of that. I meant, tell me about you and Percy"
I blushed, "We, um, kissed yesterday and he asked me to be his girlfriend."
"And you said…?" she trailed off
"Yes of course!"
"Of course, tell me what he's like" she sounded like one of my friends begging for details.
"Well he's really sweet, romantic, and deep. He really gets me. He even wrote a song for me!"
"Shut the front door!" now she sounded really unlike herself.
"Yeah, it's called Prettiest Friend. He wrote it before he asked me out." I said blushing furiously, "He, uh, gave me a recording of it…do you want to hear it?" While the parents were all talking and getting to know each other Percy had given me the cd.
"Absolutely!"
I played the song for her and she squealed like a teenager.
"That's amazing!" she said, "I think you found yourself a perfect boy" my face could not be redder.
"Thanks, I do too." I answered, cheeks burning.
"Well get some sleep, it is a school night." She said
"Ok, oh wait can I sleep over at Thalia's tomorrow?" I asked
"As long as you finish your homework" she said after thinking for a moment
"Thanks and Helen?" I called after her
"Yes?"
"Can you, um, not mention this to my dad?"
She smiled and nodded before shutting my door.
I fell asleep quickly after that.
That night, I dreamt of a certain raven haired, green eyed popstar.
