Riley~
As I walk home, I think back on my day. So many things went weird. The girl, who could only be Annabeth, my hero, actually came to help me with science, and then disappeared, so I must have been hallucinating. There is no other explanation.
I walk into my house and say hello to my dad. "I have to go work on my homework." I say as casually as possible, and try to act cool, because though I am highly smart, I don't like homework (I mean, who does?) I usually read or plan out drawings for buildings. I want to be an architect when I grow up, even though I am horrible at science. I do not tell my dad why I really want to go to my room though. I want to see if the girl will come back, or come at all.
I sit down at my desk with my science textbook and worksheet, and try to comprehend what I have to do. As I pick up my pencil, I hear a person sit down on my bed.
"Hello," I hear the voice I am expecting say. "Would you like me to help you again?"
"Oh yes, please," I reply.
So she helps me with science for the second time today.
I finish in in record time. After I am done, I can't go downstairs, because my dad will start wondering why it took so little time to complete my science homework, so I stay in my room. Annabeth stays too.
"Here let me show you something," I say to her. I go over to my bookshelf and take out my Percy Jackson books and the Heroes of Olympus books, all in hardcover. I lay them all down on my bed. Then I take out my sketchbook and lay it next to the books. Now I speak. "I've read all of the books at least three times. I'm a huge fan of you guys." I start. I finish by saying, "Even though Percy is the main character, I've always looked up to you. You are so brave, and so strong. I've always wanted to meet you. Plus I want to be an architect like you when I grow up."
"I know who you're thinking of but that's… that's not actually me, you'll understand later. That's also why we chose you though. You are special. You are and have always been that way. We think maybe… never mind. We will wait until you are ready. I don't know if your mind can handle all of that at one time after only one day. I must go back…" She and her voice fade away.
What did she mean about that not actually being her? I guess that maybe I am wrong after all, but I am determined to tell my best friend, Cole, about it tomorrow, and see if she comes back.
