" Its nothing." I told myself again.
' Nothing just love.'
Annabeth
' You are falling for him. Admit it.'
' I am not.'
" AAAAAAAhhh . Its so damn frustrating. " I yelled.
"I am seriously losing it."
Its been 3 hours since I've been trying to sleep. But these stupid voices in my head. And I can't stop thinking about you Percy.
"I'll just read something." I decided and bolted out of bed. I got my laptop and turned on the lights.
I'll do what I love the most - Architecture reading.
' No honey you love him more.'
' Alright now its enough. Shuuuuutttt uuuuuuppp.'
I need to distract myself. Stupid Percy Jackson and his stupid smile.
' The smile that makes your day.'
' Shut up.'
Lets read now.
" The best Architectural Monuments of Europe." I searched on Google and started reading...
' 10 most famous monuments of Europe.' popped up. I clicked on it hoping to divert my attention.
1. Eiffel Tower in Paris. They said it was the most famous structure in the world. It was designed in 1889.
Wow that's actually interesting. It was all fine till I got to Petit Trianon in France. It was built by king Lois XV for his queen.
' For his queen means for his love.'
' Love Annabeth admit it now.'
" Oh my god you are seriously irritating."
In a fit of anger I shut my laptop and just lied down again only unable to sleep again.
This time when I got up I found myself back on my laptop googling, " Are you in love?"
Am I in love tests showed up.
Soon I found myself taking one.
It had all weird questions.
How much do you like his personality?
Options- A lot, Little, Its annoying, I love it.
' Should I do it?' I asked myself.
' You know there's no need for it. The answer is obviously yes.'
" Fine lets end this for once and all. " I declared as I checked on Little.
Next Question:
How attracted am I to him.
Options,
He's sooooo good-looking!
He's cute...to me.
Everyone thinks he's soo cute!
That's not important to me.
' Be truthful.' The voice reminded.
" Fine."
He is okay. Everyone does think he is soo cute. But here we are talking about me. Well he's cute.. to me.
Next: When I wake up in the morning, what's the first thing I think of?
1. How happy I am.
2.I have to use the bathroom!
3. How I can't WAIT to see my sweetheart.
Eeeeww sweetheart.
That's obviously option 2. Duh.
Q: Do I think I am in love?
1. Yeah, I think so.
Duh. No. I am not.
2. I'm not sure, that's why I'm taking this quiz.
Hmm. This could be.
3. I don't think, I know.
Hmm no. I for sure know.
So I checked on option 2.
Q: How much do I like his family.
1. Great family. We get along.
Yup that's it.
2. They're okay. I try to get along though, because they're his family.
3. Oh! They're such jerks!
4. I don't really know his family.
Well its the simplest one. I love them.
I hit submit. They were yet calculating my result.
"Damn." I said as I realised my heart beat had paced up.'Hey kiddie its fine. Just a lame test that says YES for whatever you choose.'
Sure it says Yes. I m done. So freaking done. Just going to bed.
Whoa its 4 a.m.
These voices inside my head wont leave me alone.
I don't need to think about it. Lets just focus on sleeping. And so I did. I think I had managed to fall asleep.
~ 7 a.m.~
I think I heard a bump. AH I am still sleepy. I just turned over in bed without opening my eyes and tried to sleep again. I heard something fall after a while.
' You are hearing things even in sleep now. Just go to back to sleep.'
I turned back straight and lied for a minute only my eyes snapped open this time. You know they say ' People usually come to know if someone is staring at them even if they are asleep.' That was the feeling I had gotten at that very moment.
I saw none other than Percy Jackson leaning over my bed staring directly at me. Gods help me now I m seeing him every where. I looked at the clock. It was 7:07 a.m. Percy can't be up at this time. This definitely had to be mom.
" You're up." Mom/ probably percy said excited.
" Hmm. " I said yawning and jumped out of bed shoved the person aside and ran into the washroom.
" Lord this is too much now. Why am I seeing him every where? Now even my mom looks like him to me. "
I splashed my face with lots of water, dried my face nicely and walked out hoping to see my mother out there waiting for me.
' Holy cow. It-It is Percy Jackson.' I realised as I saw him sitting on my bed. I rushed back inside and slammed the door behind me.
' What's he doing here? That too at this time?'
' Shouldn't he be asleep?'
' I can't go looking like this in front of him.'
' I m such a mess.' I thought as I looked at myself in the mirror. I combed my hair with my hands a little.
' My god? Why am I over reacting? He comes here all the time.'
' Love dear.' The annoying voice said.
" You again? Shut up." I whisper yelled.
' Calm down Annabeth. Its normal.' I told myself and walked out.
" Annabeth? Gods you are up." Percy said raising his eyes from his phone.
" Uhh Umm Well ... I umm.. " I tried to say.
" Sit." He said nodding towards my bed making space for me.
" Ye- yeah." I said sitting down.
" I couldn't sleep yesterday just like-"
" Just like I predicted."
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how good he looks even in those pyjamas and the tank top with those messed up hair. Of course we can. Afterall I m doing it in my head. Hmmm he looks good.
" ANNABETH? "
" HMM. You look g-." I shut my mouth realising what I was about to say.
" Umm I look what? " He asked.
" Huh? Nothing." I pretended like I never said anything.
" Why were you staring at me? Do I look bad?"
No. You loook hot as ever.
" I STILL CAN'T GET OVER THE FACT THAT ITS ONLY 7 AM AND YOU ARE UP. " I lied quickly.
" Ooh . " He laughed. " But why are you yelling?"
" Was I? "
" Guess you're still sleepy." He said yawning.
" So are you." I pointed out.
He shrugged.
" Wanna lie down?" I asked.
" Okay."
" Is there something you wanna talk about?" I asked Percy after we both lied down on my bed.
" Nothing really."
I didnt say anything after that. And we lied in comfortable silence. Guess thats what he needed. And so did I.
~ 11 A.M. ~
" Annabeth? Percy? Kids wake up. " I felt my dad shaking my arm. I had fallen asleep. I woke up hearing my dad's voice. I realised my head was on Percy's outstreched arm. I quickly sat up straight realizing my dad was right there.
" Morning kiddie. When did Percy come? "
" Morning dad. Just aroumd 7."
" Alright. Wake him up and I'll see you down for breakfast. "
" Dad shouldn't you be at work? "
" Honey its Saturday. I gotta go after lunch."
" Right."
" Come for breakfast."
" Yes dad." I said as my dad walked out of the room.
" Percy wake up." I yelled a bit to irritate him.
" Get up. Get up ." I chorused.
" Stop yelling Annabet' ." He said in a sleepy voice.
" Get up. Get up." I chorused again.
" Hmm.. I will." He said turning over to the left side facing me.
" I m hungry." I mentioned.
" Get some breakfast then. Let me sleep." He said.
" Fine. You are making me do it. "
" What?" He said.
I got up off the bed and walked to the other side behind him facing his back.
" So you aint getting up?" I asked one last time.
He gave me a thumbs down.
I shrugged to myself in a cool way. I used my last straw. Did i ever mention that kid ( Percy) is quite ticklish.
" Oh... "
" My... "
" Godds Anna- Bethhh..."
Percy was saying amidst laughing so much.
" Stooo-"
" p. Ple- ase."
" Didn't I say you are making me do it? " I smirked as I asserted the fact.
He looked at me innocently. " Sorry."
" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" I screamed out of the blue remembering what stupidity I had done yesterday.
' You are never repeating that Beth.' I mentally slapped myself.
" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! You are right Bet' . Today is the day. Omigosh. I am gonna see her for the first time. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. " Percy starts screaming too.
' Gosh. He took it to the other direction. Good for me.'
" Yaaaaaaaay Percy. I am so happy for you."
" Lets go eat quickly. Then I gotta get ready too. Its a 45 minutes drive. Concert starts at 7. That means we gotta be there by 5. That means we gotta leave at 1:30. Omigosh. Its 11:10 already. Gosh why didn't you wake me up sooner."
" Percy stop blabbing. I didn't even understand half of the things you said." I said rolling my eyes.
" Nothing. Lets go eat." He said dragging me downstairs.
I made a puzzled face.
" Come on." He said dragging me faster.
" Heeeey Percy." My mom chirped.
" Hey AnnaaaBeeth." She sang.
" Here's Breakfast." She hummed.
" Thanks Athena." Percy chirped back.
" Thaannks Moooommm." I sang back.
' Gods we are all so childish sometimes.'
" Well this is great." Percy commented.
" Thanks." Mom said ruffling his already dishevelled hair.
" Eat up fast. You need to get ready for the concert. Sally and Mom will drive you there. Poseidon and I will pick up. " Dad said overwhelmed for some reason.
" Annnnnnnd yesss. Finally one day we have a holiday and no kids at home." Mom said happily.
" Yaaaaay. Finally some adult time." Dad said high fiving Mom.
Percy and I shook our heads.
" Dad Thalia still lives at Percy's house." I reminded them.
Dad smiled at me sweetly.
" Beth we already sent her off to Luke's." Mom said sticking her tongue out at me.
I gave her a horrified look which made them both laugh so hard that they had tears in their eyes and even we started laughing.
" Oiii now you both go get ready. " Dad said after we all had calmed down.
" Shoo." Mom was sending off Percy.
" Shoo shoo. " Dad was sending me off up the stairs. Percy left and I walked up the stairs.
What to wear I was thinking while sitting on my bed. I know. I took out my clothes before going in the bathroom for a long hot water shower.
I let my hair loose and took off my clothes as I turned on the shower.
' We're going to have fun.' I was thinking as I realised this was my first ever concert too.
' I am gonna take a good picture today.'
I took a long shower. It felt real good. I used one towel to dry my body and the other one I wrapped around my head.
I walked out and put on my clothes.
' Well its not bad.' I complimented myself.
I dried my hair with the hair dryer and put on some light make up. I put my hair in a messy bun.
' Damn I look good. ' I realised as I saw myself in the mirror.
Since I am ready, I should irritate Percy , so I picked up my phone to call him.
' Oh forgot the lipstick! ' I remembered and ran to my dressing table.
" Brown will go with this outfit." I said and picked up my brown lipstick.
I was doing it when I heard somebody barge into my room. I jumped up in fright and the lipstick flew out of my hand up in the air.
I turned around to see Piper Mclean standing on the doorway.
" Pi- Piper? " I said startled.
" Hmm." She acknowledged and walked in. She wasn't empty handed. She had a big bag with her.
" Are you here to stay?" I queried her.
" Stand up." She ordered. I dared not disobey. She put the bag on my bed and looked at me from top to bottom.
" What are you.."
" Quiet. " She interrupted.
I shut my mouth did as she said.
" Oh my god Annabeth." She said loudly.
" What? Tell me." I said flustered.
" Is this how you dress up for your first ever date with the boy you love?" She said shaking her head.
" Hey you ." I said pointing my index at her. " First of all its not a date. And secondly I don't love him."
" Probably you are right about the first one but..." She paused.
" But?" I prompted.
" But I am right about the second one. You do love him." She stated.
" I don't."
" Whatever you say hon. Your eyes say it all. " She said sighing.
" Uh may I know "
" Quiet." She ordered again. " I am not letting you go like this wearing a T- shirt with ripped jeans. And what is this you have done to your hair? Gods."
" I think its pretty good."
" Hey you are going to a concert not to school." She shook her head again.
" That's right. So?"
" So you do as I say."
Don't know why but I agreed.
" Go wash your face. And then I am gonna do your make up. Then you change into clothes I am gonna provide you and lastly we do your hair. Okay?"
" Okay." I said nodding.
" Quick." She breathed.
I washed my face and removed my make up.
I walked out to see she was waiting for me with a make-up kit open in front of her.
" Sit. " She commanded.
I waited till she was done.
" Are you sure it's not too much?" I asked her after she was done.
" Gods Annabeth. Its perfect. You look amazing and don't doubt my skills."
" Okay. Thanks."
" Hmm. Good.. now clothes. Take off your clothes. "
" Here?" I said flabbergasted.
" No silly. I meant be ready to change." Piper explained.
" Ohh. Kay." I said as she walked over to my bed and started rummaging through that big bag of hers.
" Here." She said pulling out something and then turned around to show it to me.
My mouth fell open in shock.
" You are kidding me right?" I asked her, " I am not supposed to wear this?"
" Yup. That's the one." She said coolly.
" No. " I refused plainly.
" Yes. Go on now. Stop wasting time. Its already 2 pm." She said looking at her watch.
" Hey you I am not wearing this. Its too-"
" Too pretty? I know. Go on now. Your hair is going to take an hour. Look at this mess." She said touching my hair.
" That's-"
" Your hair is really pretty but so messy." She said complimenting as well as criticizing at the same time.
" Go on. Go on put it on." Piper said hastily.
" Fine." I gave in.
I removed my T-shirt and put on the strapless white top Piper had brought for me.
" How does it look?" I asked her.
" Omg its hot in here." She said fanning her face.
" Shut up."
" To go with it here." She said tossing me a skirt.
" Gosh Piper I haven't worn a skirt since ages."
" Yup that's why you need to wear it now."
" Omigosh have you looked at its length?" I said as I examined it. It was like super short. It was a mini mini mini mini skirt. Something like Rachel would wear.
" Gosh why is it long?" Piper said blinking innocently.
" Damn you. I am not wearing this."
" Oh come on It will just blow him away." Piper said dreamily.
" What? Blow who away?"
" The love of your life."
" Come on you know he doesn't like me that way." I stated the fact.
" Yet." She noted and further added," Feelings can change. " She winked.
I rolled my eyes and went off to try it fit perfectly. It was like it was just made for me. Wow.
But. Should I be wearing this?. Its super short. Its like a mini mini mini mini skirt.
You can say that it goes up to like one inch below the half of my mid thighs.
" Piper? Are you sure about this?" I asked her.
" Damn some body looks super hot today." She remarked winking.
" Stop it you." I said frowning.
" Hey its almost time to go." Piper said looking at her watch," We need to do your hair. Sit down."
She made me sit in front of the mirror.
" Its gonna take some time now. Sit straight. I am gonna straighten your hair now."
It took us 45 minutes to straighten my hair.
" Its finally done." Piper said after 47 minutes.
I stood up to take a good look at my hair.
" They look incredible." She commented.
I saw how I looked.
She was right I looked damn hot. But it felt weird. I have never worn such kinda clothes. I was showing so much skin. My shoulders, my arms and almost all of my legs were bare.
" Annabeth you look beautiful." Piper said.
" Thanks."
" Just make sure nobody faints." She joked. I rolled my eyes.
" Taken everything." She asked.
" I guess so." I said vaguely.
" The tickets? Your Phone? Money?"
" Check. Check. Check." I said excited.
" Hey your lipstick. Its a bit smeared." She pointed out.
I fixed it and went to the washroom once.
" Percy's here." Piper told me as I shut the washroom door.
" Lets go."
" Ready?" She asked.
" Ready." I confirmed.
I pushed all of my insecurities behind and walked out the door with Piper at my heels. From the top of the stairs I could see Percy waiting for me. He didn't look up. He was busy on his phone.
" How does he look?" Piper whispered in my ear.
" He looks Perfect." I smiled.
