Chapter 20: Bestfriends?

Annabeth's POV:

Well, I woke up, and I had absolutely no idea what day it was. All I knew was that I fell asleep extremely late last night because I stayed up watching movies all night. Don't judge me, when it's summer, what else are you supposed to do?

Anyways, I looked over at my clock; 1:30p.m…DANG! I thought to myself. Usually I only woke up this late when I felt like shit or it was New Years. And this happened to be neither of them. I realized that I was really messing up my sleep schedule, but oh well, who cares?

I sat up in my bed, tempted to fall asleep again, but I forced myself to stay up. I grabbed my laptop, flicked it on and logged in. The most logical thing to do now was check Facebook, and that's exactly what I did. I was just scrolling down through the newsfeed, when I saw a status update from Percy. It read;

Percy Jackson: Had the best day ever! Loved catching up with the bestie ^-^ love you! :) –with Rachel Elizabeth Dare.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare likes this.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare: Loved catching up with you! (: can't wait for tomorrow :3

Now for some reason, I was irked. I forced myself to calm down, and not think about it. Curious, I clicked on Rachel's name to view her profile. I scrolled down on her page, and realized that about 2 hours ago she had posted a picture of her and Percy outside of his house, in a half hug while she held up the camera to take the picture. Her comment on the picture was;

Rachel Elizabeth Dare: Hanging with mi bestie for 2 days in a row! That's what I call lucky! ;D

Percy Jackson and 2 others like this.

Percy Jackson: Whoop whoop, it's a party! :)

Rachel Elizabeth Dare: Fosho ;)

UGHH! I wanted to scream. I quit off Facebook, shut my laptop, turned into my pillow, and let out a silent scream. Who did she think she was? Just randomly coming into Percy's life and starting a flirt marathon with him. And Percy wasn't doing anything to stop it. Maybe he didn't even realize it.

I mean, I'm happy that he's reunited with his old best friend and all, but I just feel like Rachel is getting way too close to Percy, too quickly. They may have been best friends a long time ago, but now I considered Percy and I to be best friends. Just as I was finally getting somewhere with him, Rachel shows up out of nowhere, crashing the party.

Next thing I know, she'll be snatching him away from me. I couldn't let that happen. I just couldn't. He means too much to me. And plus, Percy would pick me, wouldn't he? I had hoped so. Now though, I wasn't so sure. He seemed to be having more fun with Rachel than he did with me.

I was suddenly a little jealous that Rachel had been able to come in and become close amazing friends with Percy. They were probably off in Percy's room sharing all their little secrets to each other, while I just lay here, at 1:30 in the afternoon, like a walrus.

Then a thought occurred to me; Why should I care? If it's taken him this long to admit his feelings and "ask me out" then obviously he doesn't like me. If he really cared, he'd have asked me out by now, instead of getting all close with Rachel.

I screamed into my pillow again, trying to channel out all my anger. After a few minutes I sat up again, knowing that I looked like crap. I decided to pick up my phone and call Thalia, one of the only ones I really wanted to talk to about this;

Phone Call

Thalia: Hey chica!

Annabeth: Hey Thals, do you think you could come over?

Thalia: What's up?

Annabeth: Just ask if you can come over, please.

Thalia: UGH, fine. It better be good though.

Annabeth: It will be.

Thalia: Bye whore.

Annabeth: Bye, oh, and try and be quick.

End Call

After the call, I suddenly realized that I really looked like crap, so I decided to take a quick 5 minute shower. When I got out I put my wet hair in a ponytail and put a tank top and sweats on. It was just Thalia, so I didn't really bother trying to make myself look acceptable. I just wore clothes because it was what normal people did.

I heard Thalia knock on the door, well, actually pound, so I ran down the stairs to let her in, but to my surprise, she was already standing inside the house,

"How did you?" I began.

"Food. You got popcorn?" she asked, walking into my house.

"Yeah, but..how?" I asked again, still majorly confused.

"It's called your door was unlocked, genius" she smirked.

We went into the kitchen, and I made her popcorn, while she poured each of us a cup of lemonade, and we both made our way upstairs into my room. I decided to let her eat a few handfuls of popcorn before I even began to talk to her.

"So, what's up? Why'd you call me over?" she asked. I sighed,

"Well, it's Percy," I began, realizing her smiling at me, "well, Rachel, his old best friend, recently moved back into the neighborhood. I don't have a problem with that, it's just she and him have been getting awfully close, and I just can't help but thinking what if he doesn't like me?"

"Annabeth. Percy definitely still likes you. He's crazy about you." She said.

"Then why hasn't he asked me on a date? Or better yet asked me out?" I retorted.

"I don't know, maybe he's waiting for the right moment."

"Are you sure? Because look at these posts from Percy and Rachel," I showed them to her, "they look like they're having fun, don't they?"

"Yeah, so? Let him have fun with her. They haven't seen each other in years. I'm sure Percy has no feelings for her." Thals said reassuringly. I just let out an angry, "Grr" sound.

"Well, in other news I'm like, 95 percent sure that Jason likes Piper, and vice versa." She said, trying to change the subject.

"What? How do you know?" I asked. I was still majorly concerned about Percy, but I decided to just try and distract myself.

"Get this, yesterday, Jason invited Piper over to help him paint his room. I heard them laughing constantly and talking about this that and the other. When they came downstairs for the pizza, both of their faces were bright red.

"Oh my, they definitely like each other. At least someone can find love." I muttered.

"Oh hush up you."

"So, how are you and Nics?" I asked, winking. Again, forcing myself to change the subject.

"We're good! I've been having the best time ever with him. The best thing is, he's not a bad texter at all! We have amazing conversations, sometimes lasting till super late at night."

"I'm so glad you two are happy! I knew you two were perfect for each other!" I said genuinely.

"Yeah, and get this, we were on a date, and Luke had the balls to try texting me. I showed Nico, and he just deleted the text, and told me to forget it." She said.

"Wow, what an idiot. That jerk just needs to piss off." I said, suddenly very angry.

"Yeah, I know right? He's tried texting me three times, trying to 'apologize'." She said while making air quotes.

"Will he ever get it? He just needs to leave you alone and go creep somewhere else." I was frustrated now.

"I was thinking if he doesn't leave me alone in the next few days, I'm going to have to do something to make him pay." She said, it seemed as though she already knew what she was going to do.

"I'm scared. I hope that it doesn't come down to that." I said, with genuine fear. Whatever Thalia was planning, it surely couldn't be good.

"No one wants does," she said and I nodded.

"Well, what about Beck and Silena?" she asked.

"A couple of days ago I talked to him over the phone. I told him to give her some space and time. But he seemed really bad, and Percy said he wasn't doing so hot. I hope they can resolve their problems soon."

"Yeah, I feel really bad for Beck. I hope that doesn't happen to Nico and I." she said.

"You and I both." I said and we started laughing.

"But I think he has a plan for getting her back." I said.

"That's good!" Thalia said, "So wait, it's cool if I spend the night, right?" she asked suddenly.

"Yeah, sure, but we have music tomorrow." I said.

"Yeah, so?" she said.

"Fine, whatever. I don't care. Something tells me though that you would spend the night anyways." I said.

"Yeah, you're right. Now, how about we go get more food?" she asked, already making her way to the kitchen. Even without trying to, she really could make my mood a lot better. I hoped this would alleviate some stress.

The Next Day :D

Percy's POV:

I waited in my living room for Rachel to arrive. I volunteered to take her to music today, because she really wanted to meet all of the others in my group. She also really wanted to meet Annabeth. She came over to my house yesterday to help me plan out how I was going to ask her out, and we came up with a really good idea.

The whole afternoon we were working on fixing any bugs in our plan, and we have it perfectly planned out. The only thing now though is finding the perfect place to do it. That's why we were hoping Rachel would become friends with Annabeth, so that she could find out more information, and maybe make plans with her. That way, we will have a little insight into Annabeth's side.

Anyways, I never really realized how much I missed Rachel until she came back. I mean, yesterday we did work on perfecting my plan, but we also had a crap-load of fun as well. She and I went outside, and once she got close to the pool, I pushed her in. Now, before you guys freak out, no, she didn't have any electronics on her.

Anyways, I proceeded to take off running into the front yard. After a good 5 minutes of nothing happening, I decided to go see what was happening, which was a huge mistake. As soon as I opened the back gate, I was greeted with a lovely hose spraying water at me. We were both soaking wet, so we called Nico down so he could get us towels.

"You guys are so stupid," she said, while carrying the towels out.

"Yeah, we know, but you're the bigger stupid head!" Rachel said. And before he could think about it, we sprayed him with the hose as well.

He ran around to the front and grabbed the other hose, coming back around and hitting us back. After our little fight, we all just jumped in our pool. It really was a fun day…..

There was a knock on the door which brought me out of my thought. I got up and answered the door, it was Rachel.

"Well hello there Percy." She said.

"Hola amiga!" I said in return, "HEY NICO, GET YOUR BOOTY DOW HERE. IT'S TIME FOR MUSIC!" I said as I grabbed my guitar and walked out the door.

"Commmming!" he said rushing out. It took him so long because he still wanted to look nice for Thalia. That kid was like a lovesick puppy; it was both gross and adorable at the same time. Go figure.

"I can't wait to meet everyone!" Rachel said excitedly as we were on our way, just then, I got a call from Beck. I was supposed to help him with his excellent plan for getting Silena back.

[Phone Call]

B: Hey dude! Just making sure you have the guitar.

P: Yeah man, I got it. Been practicing?

B: I haven't stopped! I've been so nervous.

P: Beck you'll do fine! Did you get your plan cleared with Will?

B: Yeah, in fact, I'm already here. Got here early, I just wanted to call, and see if you were on your way. I wanna walk you through the plan one more time.

P: haha, okay. I'm on my way. Be there soon.

B: okay, bye Perce!

[End Call]

I really hoped Silena would accept Beck's apology. He'd been trying so hard to get her back, I'd never seen him more determined than he was now.

"Was that Beck?" Nico asked. I'd told him Beck's plan, because, well, it's Nico.

"Yeah, he was just making sure I had my guitar." I replied.

"Why? What's he gunna do?" Rachel asked.

"Well, Beck and Silena got in an argument last week, and ever since Beck's been trying to get her back, without much success. But he's come up with a really nice plan to hopefully get her back." Nico explained before I had the chance too

"Yeah, and I've volunteered to help him out." I said.

"Oh, that's really nice of you." Rachel said. We were pulling into the parking lot of the Community Center, where the class was. We got out and walked in and went to the music room.

The others probably wouldn't be arriving for about 10 more minutes, which gave Beck plenty of time to show us his plan, which he and I had been over several times. I could tell he really didn't want to screw this up. And I didn't blame him.

Beck's POV:

So, now it was time to get back Silena. For the past couple of days, I've worked with Percy to develop an amazing plan to win Silena back. It really was flawless, and I was just hoping that I'd given her enough time to herself. Every minute felt like a day, so I really had no idea how much, 'enough' time was. For me, enough time was the very minute after I hurt her, but I knew that wasn't possible. I needed to give her was she wanted.

I felt like crap. I don't know how else to describe it. I know were only in high school and whatnot, but she really did feel like my other half. Not talking to her felt like half of my body was ripped apart. I was absolutely, without a doubt, incomplete. Call me whipped or whatever, it's not like give a damn. The truth is I love her, a lot.

Which is why I couldn't believe what I did to her. I felt so bad after what I did. If I cared about her so much, then why did I snap at her? She didn't have any intentions of being annoying or anything, it was just Silena being Silena. I also ruined our date. She was really excited to show me what she was going to wear, and I shot her down without thinking. I hated myself for it.

I really hope she accepts my apology, because I don't know what I would do if she doesn't. I vowed never to do this again to her. It was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made, and I really wanted her to know that.

When Percy, Nico and Rachel arrived, I walked them through my plan before the others arrived. Percy and Nico both volunteered to help. Percy would add guitar to the background, and back my singing up while Nico played the drums. We had originally planned it to be just Percy and I, but Nico was a great addition.

Slowly the others started arriving. I wasn't really paying attention to them entering and saying hi. I saw Thalia go up and hug Nico, and when Annabeth came in, I saw her look over at Percy and Rachel quickly, but she found me, came up and gave me a big hug. I hugged her back for a good minute. She was very comforting, but in a sisterly way. That's what I really liked about her. She was fierce, but she knows when to take it down a notch and be gentle.

"Hey, you okay Beck?" she said as we were hugging, so the others wouldn't hear.

"I think you know the answer to that." I said groggily.

"Listen, you'll do fine on your performance. I know you will. If you need support, look up at me and I'll help you out. "She said assuringly.

"Okay." I said back, just listening to her advice.

"Put a brave face on. I know you can get through this." She said, releasing our hug and patting my shoulder, before going off and talking to a few other people.

Then she walked in. Her beautiful gorgeous hair was wavy and her makeup was just perfectly adding to her already wonderful face. She was wearing a really cute summer dress, it was dark blue and had a small tan belt. She was wearing shoes that were the same tan color. She looked stunningly perfect.

[If you'd like to see it, I created it on here /set?id=69450067] Just add www.

When she walked in, she looked around and scanned faces. I saw her turn to look at me, and once I saw her do that, I turned away. She knew I was staring at her, and now I could tell she was looking at me.

"Okay guys, come on, let's all sit down now," Will said. He started talking about reading music, and what to look for, but I wasn't really paying attention. All I could focus on was how nervous I was. I kept looking up at the clock, because Will and I had planned when the right time was. I saw it was time for me to go, so I raised my hand,

"Yes Beck?" Will asked.

"Uhm, may I go to the restroom?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure." He said, continuing his lesson. I got up and left the class room.

This was the first part of my plan. I went into the empty classroom next door, and changed into my suit. I put on my tie and grabbed the flowers that I had bought from the store beforehand. I thought of what Annabeth had told me, trying to calm myself down. Once I felt ready, I walked back to the door of the classroom, and I saw Will look over,

"Now class, right now, we have a special guest." That was my cue to walk in. I rubbed my sweaty hands on my suit, grabbed the handle, and walked in. All my friends looked at me in surprise, I looked up at Annabeth, and she was smiling, which was reassuring. Silena looked confused. Rachel, Nico and Percy also gave reassuring looks and Percy and Nico both stood up and went in their respective places.

I walked forward and gave Silena the flowers. She took them, and just as I had gotten into my position, the song started. Here we go.

Just the Way You Are- Bruno Mars

Beck- Bold

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are, yeah

The whole time all I could think of was her. I never stopped looking at her, I didn't even need to look over at Annabeth. Just seeing Silena smile made my life.

The others started clapping, and Silena had tears in her eyes,

"Silena, you are absolutely the most gorgeous girl I have ever met, inside and out. I would never ask for you to be different because I love everything about you, as is. What I said last week, was bullshit. I really care about you Silena, you're gorgeous no matter what. The past week I've felt like crap because I haven't been able to talk to you. I have not once stopped thinking about you. You're the last thing I think of before I go to bed, and the first thing I think of when I wake up. I am really, truly, deeply sorry for what I said, it's definitely one of my biggest mistakes. I love you so much, and I never ever meant to harm you, and never will again. Cuz girl you're amazing, just the way you are."" I sang the last part.

She had a bunch of tears in her eyes as she got up and went to me, giving me the biggest, most amazing hug, ever.

"Awh Charlie." She said, wiping tears from her face. I handed her a tissue and put my fingers under her chin.

"Listen baby," I said, quiet so only she could hear me, "you are the best in the world, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." And with that, I kissed her. I don't even remember anything else. I was complete.

Annabeth's POV:

I couldn't get over how cute Beck and Silena were. What he did was so sweet, and Silena really has been the luckiest girl in the world today. Me on the other hand, not so much.

The whole lesson all I was really thinking about was Percy. For the past few days, he's all I could think about. I was hoping I'd get to hang out with him more today, because he'd been hanging out with Rachel an awful lot, but no. He ended up bringing her. She was practically glued to his side the whole entire lesson.

When Percy introduced me to her, it went something like this;

"Hey Wise Girl," he said, "this is Rachel. Rachel, this is Annabeth."

"Hi there!" Rachel said, unusually perky.

"Why, hello." I said, in my most strained yet civilized voice. I knew Percy would see right through me, but I hoped Rachel wouldn't.

"Yeah, so have you heard about Beck's plan," she said. How did she know? She definitely didn't deserve an insight to this. She didn't even know him, or what was happening. Percy's probably just told her every single freaking secret he has.

"Yeah, it's amazing. I feel bad for the guy." I said. I really just wanted to tell her to leave, but held it in.

I was shook out of my deep thought when I head Grover say,

"Hey guys, let's all go get lunch!"

So we started walking down the street to go get lunch, and guess who stayed with us….yep, Rachel.
