Annabeth

Annabeth headed into her school, Half-Blood Highschool. The school was full of people who loved to act and do theatre. So naturally, there was a good amount of Disney talk. Unfortunately for Annabeth, she hated Disney princess movies.

She saw her friends, Piper Mclean and Piper's boyfriend, Jason Grace, and her own boyfriend, Percy Jackson, talking together by their lockers. They all had their lockers close together. That's how they became friends. Percy kept annoying Annabeth for years and Piper and Jason just decided to speak with each other, and they enjoyed each other's company.

As Annabeth got closer, she was able to hear parts of the conversation, so she was able to tell that it was about Beauty and the Beast. That one was the one Disney princess movie that she hated the least.

"Hey guys," Annabeth said when she reached her friends.

"Hey Annie!" Piper was the first to greet her.

"Hi Annabeth." Then it was Jason.

"Hey Wise Girl!" And finally, Percy.

"You guys are talking about Beauty and the Beast?"

Piper nodded and opened her mouth to talk. "Yeah we're talking about our favorite parts of the movie. Mine is the dance between the beast and Belle."

"And mine was the sheep in the first song."

"Of course it was Seaweed Brain. You know what's the best part about Beauty and the Beast?"

Piper titled her to a side bit curiously and attempted to guess. "The happily ever after?"

"The library."

Piper blinked in surprise at that. Even though she knew that Annabeth loved books and libraries, it didn't look like Piper was expecting that.

"That's my Wise Girl." Percy kissed Annabeth lightly on the cheek and she rolled her eyes at him.

"The library is the only good part of the movie guys."

"What about the dance scene? That was so nice Annie!"

"No, just the library. The library is amazing."

Piper and Jason sighed in unison and Annabeth rolled her eyes at the two of them.

"Sigh all you want, that library is marvelous."

Piper shook her head in mock disappointment. "Sure it is Annie."

"Don't call me Annie."

"Got it Annie."

This time it was Annabeth's turn to sigh. "Okay name one other 'good' part about the movie. I will prove you wrong."

"The sheep eat a part of Belle's book, that was amazing!" That was obviously Percy.

"The poor book. I bet it lost some words, so she'll never be able to read that bit again."

"Okay what about the love story between the Beast and Belle? That was adorable, right?" It was Piper again. Jason was being pretty quiet.

"The Beast kidnapped her, that doesn't sound very 'adorable'."

Piper threw her hands up into the air in exasperation. "C'mon Annabeth, the movie is great, its not just the library."

"Its definitely just the library. The library is so nice though. So many books and the ladder makes it so easy to get to different books."

Piper rubbed her forehead before the bell rang, signaling that their class was about to start. They all blinked in surprise and frantically grabbed their books and rushed off to their classes, ending the discussion about Beauty and the Beast.
