Lately those little text sessions have been going on. Annabeth didn't know why she kept on responding to him; nor did she care. Not always she was she most upbeat person, but when she was on her better days Annabeth actually enjoyed his presence. Over the phone or not. And it wasn't just texting. Facetime, calls, and even more facetime. Annabeth now expected a call from him at one in the morning complaining about whateve he had on his mind. One day it could be something as silly like how that pile of clothes looked like mothman, or Percy rambling about swimming practise.
Gods, why was one of those nights today?
"Hey," Percy said, his tired face appearing on Annabeth's phone. His sleepy face was kind of cute- a slight case of bedhead and a trail of drool on the side of his face.
"Hi." Ananbeth said, pointing the camera towards her star-decorated ceiling. The light green-ish light illuminted the room just the tiniest bit. Enought to be considered a night light, at least.
"Oh come on. I wanna see your face too, y'know."
"Well then you can enjoy the view of my rad ceiling."
"Bitch."
"Jackass."
Annabeth saw Percy flip in his bed, now on his back. He held the phone away from his face, outstretching his arms so she had a full body view of him. Percy was dressed in simple clothes. A tight black shirt and grey sweatpants. How did he look so good in that? Annabeth thought she looked like a walking mess at this hour of the night. She wasn't a night person.
She finally flipped her camera to her face, blonde curls framing her head. Her grey eyes struggled to adjust to the white light of the call. Percy smirked at th sight of her, looking kinda cute with her little squinty eyes and dishiveled hair. She wore a loose top and shorts that reached mid-thigh.
"So, about those tips on how to fall asleep." Percy started, retracting his arms back to bring the phone closer.
"About that. Have you tried the four eight seven breathing method?" Annabeth asked, not sure why she was helping him out. Maybe it was because she wanted him to stop calling her at times like this.
"No. What's that?"
"Take a deep breath in for four seconds, then hold it for seven. And finaly, release it for eight. If that doesn't work, re-do it a couple more times until you feel drowsy."
Percy setted his camera so Annabeth could see his side view. He closed his eyes and started what the girl he was calling instructed him. Breathe in, deeply, so much that your lungs can't take it in anymore. Release, slow and steady. He felt his breathing get shallow and steadier. He was slowly falling asleep.
"And one more thing. Did you know if you stay still for 15 minutes straight, you'll fall asleep?" Annabeth added.
"I don't think I can stay still for that long," Percy said, laughing to himself quietly. "But thanks for the tip." When he heard no response, he looked over concerned to see Annabeth already whisked off away into dreamland. Percy smiled when she subconsiously blew a stray strand of hair on her face. She looked so... Calm like this. No wrinkles from glaring at him, or no frown on her face. Annabeth snored lightly.
'Gods, I am so whipped.' Percy thought to himself. 'Am I turning into a fucking simp right now?' He thanked Annabeth once again, despite her not being awake and left the call. He was too tired now. And his mom would probably take his phone away if she found out he was still calling people at this hour. A girl, no less! Thankfully, Sally was busy sleeping from a long day. No surprise there.
[The Next Day]
One week. That's how long until the trip was Percy was estastic. Excited. Every single happy emotion you can possibly feel- that's what he felt. But for Annabeth? Not so much. Yes, everything was sorted out. The funds, students, activites and events were all organized and memorized in her brain by now. However one problem ran into Annabeth while packing for the trip. (She liked to be ahead of others. Who knew.) But when she searched for a swimsuit or any piece of swimwear, all she found in her closet was ones that had been collecting dust. And that thing was from when she was in grade school.
'Yeah, way too tight.' Annabeth grimaced at the sight of it, nearly half the size of her. Would shorts and a T-shirt suffice as a swimsuit..? Possibly, but Annabeth didn't think it would be very comftorable. When she texted Silena about that, Annabeth got no response. Until Silena herself came to her doorstep, carrying designer bags filled with exactly what she needed.
"Hey, Annabeth!" She gushed as she steped into her house. "I brought some stuff. Try them on!"
"I-I mean, thank you! But this is too much. You didn't have to do this, Silena. And- These look expensive as Hades himself." Annabeth stammered, taking a heavy bag from her. Swimsuits?
"But a t shirt and some measly shorts won't do! Plus, they weren't that expensive. It only costed five hundred dollars, after all."
"Five hundred!? I can't take these," Annabeth took one out. It was made of extremely light and felxible material. And it definitely was nice.
"I insist. I could have gotten them for free, but that would've make me feel like a cheat." Silena's steely blue eyes glistened. Right. Her parents; her mom generally, was close friends with the CEO's of the brands. Aphrodite owned a fashion line herself. It was quite popular in europe and greece, however it was still known worldwide pretty well. For that reason Silena decided to take her father's last name instead.
"Oh. Thank you! You're a lifesaver." Annabeth pulled another one out, this one being a navy-blue two piece with slits at the sides and was tied together with thin strings. Would the school approve of this one? Honestly, she didn't care much of what the school thinked
"Oh, you're going to look like a bitch in that one." Silena said, earing a look of confusion and slight scock from the blonde. "A bad bitch." Annabeth laughed.
"You bet I will. And one thing; how do you know my size? These are exactly on point."
"Eh, just a guess."
Annabeth eyed Silena suspiciously before letting the subject drop. "Well, do you want to hang out here?"
"I would. But I have plans with Charlie, so i'll see you around?"
"Yeah. See you,"
"Bye."
-linebreak-
"I'm sure you're all excited, but school is school. So get to it!" Their homeroom teacher shouted throughout the room filled with rowdy students.
A kid threw a bunched up paper ball from the back of the room and to the front. "Who threw that!?" The school setting, coming to a end, felt more laid back and enjoyable. Final exams took place too. For once, Percy got some decent marks, but onlt spending hours of Annabeth teaching him over text and in class. Sally was overjoyed and threw a celebratory dinner. Graduation was also coming up, and college would be soon. Of course she was was excited for that. But let's not focus on the future too much.
"Alright." Lou Ellen slammed a stack of papers on the large mahogany desk as the student council jolted up from their seats. "Seating arrangements. On the bus."
"What?" Serman Yang asked from the ping pong table where he had his laptop out. Micheal Yew was across the room seated with him as well. "Can't the teachers handle that?"
"They're supposed to. But I want a specific seat." She said very matter-of-factly. "The back row, window seat. Perfect air conditioning, big window, and no annoying people there to wake me up!"
Travis aroused from his chair, blinking in surprise from the commotion as well as his little nap. Why was he sleep now of all times? "What was all this talk about waking people up?"
People got up from their seats to see the sheet of paper Lou had in her grasp. A birds-eye view of the bus with names scribbled onto it in neat hand writing. Annabeth also got a peek, seeing that she was seated near the back. Oh hey, Thalia was there too. That was great! But did everyone agree to Lou's terms? No, no they did not.
"If you get to decide, then its only fair I get to, also!" Clarisse roared, trying to shove everyone out of the way.
"I call dibs on the first seat!"
"Back row!"
"I wanna drive the bus!"
"Connor, shut UP!"
"Calm down, jeez." Annabeth squirmed in her chair, fixing her gaze at all of them. "How about we rotate halfway through? That means we change positions at the first or second hour of driving."
"A horrible desicion, really. It'll get messy and confusing." Sherman replied. He now looked up from his laptop, staring at the rest of the students intently. "You guys do realalize that we're taking more than one bus, right? And that the bus has a washroom, good ventaltion, and mini T.V's built in? There won't be a problem."
"Ohhh, righht..." The room collectively remembered. Thanks to Annabeth's good money managing, she scored a good ride to camp unlike the rusty buses they usualy took. Silena shuddered at the thought of needing to do her makeup in the jumpy, hot leather chairs of the vehicle. One time, Katie managed to bump her elbow into her face ruining her 24 hour, waterproof eyeliner. It was a nightmare trying to get it out, especially with no makeup remover on hand.
"I still want the back row."
"Shut up."
"The teachers will handle the rest, i'm sure of it. And all the seats will be randomized." Ananbeth finally stated, giving a look of thanks to Sherman. "Anything else that should concern me or anyone here?"
"Other than the busses, no." Lou said.
"Okay then! That's all for today, guys," Annabeth watched as the students got up from their desks. She expected to be left alone again, but she saw Katie waiting at the door for her. She was looking at Annabeth expectantly.
"Katie? You need something?" Annabeth asked, picking up her bag and walking up to her.
"Nah. I'm walking you home today!" She beamed proudly, starting to walk away already. Annabeth trailed after her. "I'm not letting you go alone with what happened lat time! Nuh-uh!"
Annabeth smiled at her friends consideration. "T-thank you!"
"You don't need to thank me," Katie replied, opening the front doors of the school. "Oh, you know the math lesson today? Can you fill me in on it? I kind of... Wasn't listening." Annabeth continued to follower her to her car.
"Sure."
