I portrayed Katherine Portman as Katniss Everdeen
Peter Forester as Peeta Mellark
Just so you know, I'm a Team Peeta gal. Comparing this and Twilight, I'd say the Hunger games trilogy win. This is because , in Twilight, there is no actual story plot. Just a fight between to beings and their love for the same girl. I find it irritating and that they should just kill the girl because she is the source of the problem.
And what Gale has to do with the death of Prim is actually UNFORGIVABLE! Katniss really loved Prim and he killed Prim.
IMPORTANT :
I am making this storyline in March like now. So, just imagine that Annabeth went to school on the year 2010 with Percy and they didn't see each other for a year and meet up at the party in early January . Good ?
It is Chapter 21 and I still HAVEN'T put Percy and Annabeth back together again... Are you guys mad ?

ANNABETH :
I was clearly shocked. The second shocking thing was, I walked forward and tapped Spencer on the shoulder. I know, unexpected but I want answers and what do I care about dignity. All I tried to control was my anger. But, I'm not supposed to be angry, right ? He was a free man, not my boyfriend. WHy should I be angry ? Why should I care if he ever gets laid? Could it be because I possibly like him ? Could be true or was I using him as a distraction to get my mind off of Percy ? Spencer and Calypso , who were still kissing, let go of each other and they look at me, surprised.
"Annabeth, what are you doing here ?" asked Spencer in bewilderment.
"I was meeting some friends..." I said, motioning to the others who were still rooted on the spot. " I guess, this is your friend. Can't say the same to me though..."
Calypso rushed forward and hugged me. I was so paralyzed that it took me a few minutes to realize what she was doing. I wriggled out of her grasp. Calypso was close to tears. " I thought I'd never see you again !"
I raised an eyebrow. "And why is that ?"
"The only reason I came back to New York was apologize to those I've wronged. I heard that you left and was so worried. Spencer told me he met you in Hollywood and I was planning to go there but then he told me you were in New York. I came to pick him up so we could possibly find you together. But now, here you are." she explained.
"Okay... But I don't know if I should forgive you ..." I trailed off.
"Please, give her a chance !" pleaded Spencer. I gave him a look that said, 'stay out of this'.
"Fine... Because of you, I am what I am right now so you really shouldn't be blamed. But I'm watching you. First sign of treachery, I am so not forgiving you " I concluded, earning a bone crashing hug and a mountain of 'thank you's.
"Maybe we could hang out ?" suggested Calypso. "How about tomorrow afternoon ?"
"I can't. I have to meet my apprentice..." I declined. Please make her give up!
"Can I come ?" asked Calypso. I groaned, mentally. Sighing and knowing that I should give her a chance, I nodded. She squealed, causing majority of the people there to look in our direction. I smiled and waved and fell in line beside Calypso.
"For the next few days, no squealing, hugging and annoying it ?" I whispered into her ear. She nodded understandingly and we said our goodbyes.
"Spencer, you'll have A LOT to explain the next time we ever meet face to face." I reminded Spencer who responded with a thumbs up. The two pushed their cart away as I rejoined the others. I explained to them that Calypso and I were on good terms. Thalia responded with a snort ( she is really forgetting her manners here). She kept reminding me about how Calypso ruined my life. But then again, Thalia did also do a part of it. But I had to remind myself and everyone that if she didn't ruin my life, I wouldn't be here right now. We eventually caught up with time and set home. Nico will be staying with Percy and I persuaded Thalia to stay with me. Well, she begged. My step mom was fine with it because she says she's lonely when she's the only girl there as I keep walking out of the house.
I was on my laptop when she walked in. I looked at her briefly and Thalia had a look on her face. The look when she has a problem and doesn't want to show it. She sits on my bed quietly and plays with the pattern on her pajama pants. I sighed and stood up , making my way to her. I sat dow beside her and put an arm around her.
"Want to tell me anything ?" I asked sweetly.
"Nico and I broke up" she whispered. I nodded and rubbed her back soothingly. I know that Thalia won't cry so there's no use telling her to let it all out because for all I know, she might abuse my trash can with a pair of scissors (Victorious, anyone ? A Jade West moment) I took her hands in my own.
"Why ?" I asked, politely.
"He doesn't want to hold me from my dream..." she said in another whisper.
"Aw, that's nice..." I said. She shook her head.
"No, I miss him..."
"Come on Thals ! You're a strong girl ! You will never cry over a boy ! That is the Thalia I know. Now, where is she ?Where is that Thalia ?" I asked, acting like a madwoman. Thalia cracked a smile. I also smiled. "See, that's it. Besides, cousins sort of can't date each other..."
Thalia put her head on my shoulder."Yeah..." She agreed. Suddenly she sat up. "I've been kissing my own cousin ? Ew !"
I laughed. "You're the one who dated him . How come you realized it now ?"
She shrugged. "Blinded by love ?"
"Now, what was the dream ?" I asked.
"Hunters of Artemis.."
"Thalia, go to your room and call Artemis. Tell her you accept..." I told Thalia. She nodded and got up.
"Do you think Artemis will be up at this hour ?" asked Thalia, worried.
"Well, she is the Moon Goddess ..." Thalia chuckled at my attempt of humor and walked out of my room. My message alert sounded and I walked over to the computer. I checked my mail.
1 new message. I opened it. It was from the Hollywood Games Officials, the Gamemakers. It was in form of a video message. I clicked play. There was this weird guy on the screen who looked like he was an artificial man. His hair was white and his lips were electric blue. His face was so white as in too much make up. He started to talk about something so I turned up the volume.
"Hello, mentors. I assume by now , you have found an apprentice. I suggest you use these few days to train your apprentice. By that, I mean , prepare her physically and mentally. Also from talent. The Hollywood Games will commence next week. We are aware that some of our stars have shoots to go to and stuff but we believe that this will not disturb your concentration on the movies. Plus, the Hollywood Officials have allocated that you can only have 3 to 4 hours shooting a day. Because of that, the Officials will give 1 thousand dollars to all productions. We want all the mentors to fill in a form about their apprentice today so that we can make a preperations. May the odds be ever in your favor !"
The video ended and there was a replay button. I closed the message. Looks like I have a challenge ahead of me. I have to get some confidence in the head of my little apprentice. But how ? Undercover time ! I woke up the next morning with determination and took a shower. I was going to undercover ... But as what ? The usual raven haired girl ? That's the only disguise I have. But the wig is my mother's . I rummaged in my bags and the drawers to see if I can find something. I found a Yankees hat. Not helping much. But , I guess I can work it.
I took a shower and wore a t shirt with a pair of pants. I tucked my hair into the cap and wore it. I pulled a coat on and took my purse. I packed my laptop into a bag. I walked all the way to school. I blended in with the crowd. I spied for Katherine. I spotted her over by her locker. She quickly walked into a nearby classroom when the bell rang. I also walked into the classroom and sat at the farthest seat from the teacher's desk as possible. The teacher walked in and talked about some lesson. She picked someone to elaborate and I pulled my cap down. I could practically hear my heartbeat in my ear. It was as if her gaze was sent directly to me. She finally picked some random guy next to me and I breathed.
So, through out the day , tailing my apprentice, I gathered a few things :
1. She loves singing.
2. She is always underestimated
3. She has no confidence.
After school, I see her go to the auditorium . I side stepped to the bathroom and repaired what I should. I took off the cap and ruffled my hair a bit. I heard someone walk in to so I slipped into a stall. It was Georgie and her cronies.
"You know, Annabeth is really going to regret not picking me !" she said, powdering her nose. I rolled my eyes at her statement. Her friend spoke up.
"Georgie, you have been offered to be an apprentice by Melissa Harold. Isn't she a star too ?"
"She is and I have agreed but Annabeth is a bigger star than Melissa is. I know that by being Annabeth' apprentice, I can step into the fame I am suppose to have. " said Georgie. Her cronies agreed with her and they finally left. I walked out of the stall and walked to the auditorium. I realized that Calypso was waiting for me in front of the door. She sent me a smile and I faked one back at her. We walked in.
"Ok, Calypso and Katherine, get to know each other while I do something.." I said, unzipping my bag and taking out my laptop. I logged onto the Official Hollywood Games page and logged on. All I had to do to log on was enter my name and my Hollywood Card number. Well, when I first got here, I was given a Hollywood Card so that I could be identified. All stars have them.
I entered some information I found off the slip Katherine filled out. After that, I chose to look at some more mentors and apprentices. The two girls, after much talking , joined me.
Mentor ~ Apprentice
Melissa Harold ~ Georgie Ferblishman
Zephyra ~ Penelope Granger
Hilary Frange ~ Zoe Burckswood
Brandi Levette ~ Angel Campo
Rosemary Diana Hale ~ Magenta Wellington
Annabeth Chase ~ Katherine Portman
Mark Greene ~ Jack Heffley
Lawrence Weild ~ Freddy Hutcherson
David Henry ~ Daniel Resepire
Avan Jogia ~ Tristan Porter
Tristan McLean ~ Zayne Maslow
Percy Jackson ~ Peter Forester
"Wow..." breathed Katherine.I shut the laptop and ushered her to the seats.
"Ok, Katherine, we have a lot of work to do !"I announced. I'm going to have a talk with Brandi and Rose because they didn't tell me that they were playing in the games too. Now that I think of it, Hollywood Games seem like a parody of The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins.
I think I'm starting to do more longer chapters...
