A/N: So here is chapter 3! I totally freaked out ( the good way of course) when I saw that people actually followed this story! Reviewed too! OMG! Love you all!
Way too many exclamation marks o_o. Oh well XD.
My alarm clock went off, jolting me out of bed. Those things always did give me a heart attack. I looked around the room, it was a mess, guess I had to clean it up later.
" Thalia! Time to wake up! " I shove her her until she falls off the bed. It's like the only way to wake her up even if it's only partially. It's a one bedroom apartment so pretty small, but we get along comfortably. She groans, making it clear that she doesn't want to get up. I roll my eyes, knowing that she definitely will, once I get ready and start making breakfast. Also todays breakfast is…..* cue drumroll* Pancakes!
I'm halfway through my pancakes when Thalia comes down. " I love you! " she declares, pouring maple syrup on her pancakes, "You are my lifesaver. Nice outfit, by the way.". I look down to see what I'm wearing: A pair of black converse(my favorite), a pair of jeans, a grey top with a cute owl on it, a black cardigan and my silver owl earrings. I love owls, they are way too cute. It's the complete opposite with spiders though, I hate them 100%. Once a spider came into our room in the middle of the night and when I saw it, I screamed so loud that the neighbors woke up. They actually called the police and we had some explaining to do. Luckily, they weren't mad.
I put my plate away and walk with Thalia to school. Luke didn't join us today because he had band practice today and they were getting a new keyboardist since their old one had left. They were pretty good and performed around the city on a regular basis. As we neared, butterflies seemed to enter my stomach and a whole bunch of questions filled my head. Was he going to be present today? How would I get into his little group? Would his friends like me? Would he find me nuisance? It was so overwhelming and so unlike me. I never worry about anything not even exams, what can I say? I'm damn smart. A straight A+ student and each teachers favorite. That's actually why Thalia manages to escape punishment for all the crazy stuff she does all the time. I nudge Thalia, we've reached. She raises her eyebrows quizzically, she can't hear me right now because she listening to songs and never takes them off until the song ends. I mouth the words music room at her. I want to tell Luke about our recent developments and , well, see the new member. She nods and we make our way over there.
Luke apparently had already seen us and when we entered it was chaos. The boys were running everywhere and I think that Doritos were scattered all over the floor. Luke brings them all to attention and makes them all clean up. There are 5 members in their band. Luke: guitar and vocals, Leo: special effects and sort of backstage manager; he was way too hyper but really good with mechanical things. He had curly brown hair and was scrawny but was always joking around, Jason: guitar; he was a pair of goody-goody two shoes, pretty much a prep boy. Blond hair,blue eyes, athletic too. Then there was Nico. There's not much to say about him. He's in his freshman year, the youngest one. He's really quiet and always wears black with something related to death(pretty creepy). He plays the drums. Then there was the keyboardist who right now was incognito.
"You wanna see our new keyboardist?" Luke asked in the way of greeting. The both of us raised our eyebrows. We actually wanted to know who it was, but if we showed too much he started acting really stuck-up. He waved the keyboardist over.
The minute the both of us saw him we were shocked. It was the one and only, Percy Jackson. Out of the corner of my eye I can see that Thalia's eyes widened and a short gasp escapes my lips as well. Thankfully, they didn't notice. That was life for you, always giving the unexpected. This however, would prove an advantage in getting a way closer to him.
"Guys, this is Percy. He'll be the new keyboardist in our band." he introduces us.
"Hi Percy, I'm Annabeth and this is Thalia. It's nice to meet you." I introduce ourselves while holding out a hand. He looks at it unsurely, like he doesn't know what to do with. But after a split second hesitation, he takes it. What happens next is ridiculously cliche and I can't believe it actually happened. It was when our eyes had met. Nothing could have prepared me for those sea-green eyes of his. They were limitless, making it ever so easy to get lost in them. Hastily, I snapped myself out of these thoughts. I wasn't supposed to be thinking these things. My only goal was to gain his trust to become something like his friend before I could kill him. Something told me though that it was going to be much much harder than it seemed now.
" I'm uh Percy, you guys already know that now though. I'll see you guys around later, I guess?" he replied, although the last part came out more like a question.
"Oh you will, these guys always come to our band practices. They're the snack suppliers!" Luke says. " Although I don't really know why they missed today mornings. Do you have an answer for that my lovely ladies?" he jokes, raising an eyebrow at us. I simply shrug while Thalia rolls her eyes.
"We had a long night. I did send you a text in the morning though stating the fact that we wouldn't be able to make it. So that proves my point that you never read your text messages! " Thalia grins.
" I do too! Why do you wish to prove otherwise? What have I ever done to you?!" He feigns a hurt expression, throwing himself at Thalia's feet for emphasis. She pulls him up rolling her eyes again. It's like one of her signature looks: the eyeball roll. "You guys still on for the afternoon's practice right?" he asks
"Of course dummy." I reply,laughing, while I start to walk to homeroom with Thalia.
" Bring cookies!" He calls out after us.
