Chapter 4
Percy
I smiled the whole way home, thinking about Annabeth. Not only was she so gorgeous it should be illegal, she is also super nice and kind, and I'm so screwed. You can't like her, Percy! Why would a girl like that ever like you back?! I shook my head, in an attempt to clear my mind of Annabeth, as I pulled into my driveway. As soon as I walked into my house I was greeted with the smell of my mothers world famous blue cookies. "Mom, I'm home," I shouted to my mother, as I raced into the kitchen, to get some blue cookies. "Hi, Percy," my mom said, smiling at me. I smiled back at her and scooped up two cookies, and shoved then in my mouth. "Percy, they're hot!" My mother exclaimed. I just shrugged my shoulders, use to the pain of eating burning hot cookies by now. My mother laughed at me, while shaking her head. "I'm going to go take I shower," I said to my mom, grabbing three more cookies while walking out of the room. "Okay, honey," my mom called back to me.
As soon as I got out of the shower, I threw on my pajamas and stepped out onto my balcony. I smiled to myself, while looking up at the millions of stars in the night sky, and thought about how different Georgia was from New York. I looked down at my phone, and saw I had a message from Annabeth. Dad says he doesn't have any work for us tomorrow, and I'm not working at the diner, want to catch a movie, in town? The message read. Just then my mom walked out into the balcony. "What are you smiling about..." She said suspicion in her voice. "Um," I cleared my throat, " nothing," I said, unconvincingly, desperately trying, and failing, to wipe the smile off my face. "Sure..." My mom said, a smirk on her face.
"Anyways," my mom continued," there is two more cookies downstairs, if you want them."
"Two!" I practically shrieked. "But I only had eight!"
"Yes..." My mom said, while laughing at me.
"So there should be four left!" I exclaimed.
"Well me and Paul each had one..." My mom started.
And right about now you might be wonder, 'who the hell is Paul?' Paul is my mom's boyfriend, someone she met at school. He's really nice, and treats my mom well, so I like him.
"How dare you two eat my cookies!" I yelled dramatically, and ran downstairs to eat the rest if the cookies, before anyone else did. My mom followed me downstairs, walking at a much calmer pace, I may add. When I had already inhaled one cookie, and was working on the second, my mom spoke,"You never told me what you were smiling about when I walked into your room," she started, I cut her off with a glare. "Okay, okay," she raised her hands in surrender,"don't tell me, that's fine." I finished the rest of my cookie, as my mom left the room, and started to reply to Annabeth: Sounds good, what time does the movie start?
1:30, she replied
Want to go to lunch before the movie? I asked her, hoping she would say yes.
Sure :)
K, I'll pick u up at 11
Thanks, good night
Night
At 10:30 the next day, I started getting ready for Annabeth and I's date. No! I scolded myself, this is not a date! Anyways, I threw on my Georgia t-shirt, and my bulldogs shorts, brushed my teeth and put away my laundry (in an attempt to pass the time) and when I finally finished, I looked at the clock, which read 10:56. I grabbed my keys out of the bowl, where we keep all of our keys, and told my mom that I was leaving. Once I started down the road to Annabeth's house, I started to get nervous. What if the movies bad? What if I laugh to loudly? What if... Snap out of it Percy! You sound like a teenage girl! I reprimanded myself. By the time I was done talking to myself, I was already pulling into Annabeth's driveway. I pulled my keys out of the ignition, and headed up the steps to Annabeth's house. Once I was done wiping my sweaty palms off on my shorts, I raised my hand and rung the doorbell. "One second!" I heard a male voice from inside shout. The door then swung open, behind it, stood a boy who was about 14, I'm assuming one of Annabeth's step-brothers, who I didn't meet when I had dinner with the Chase's, because they were at a friends house. "Nice to meet you," I said to the boy, wile sticking my hand out for him to shake," my names Percy."
"Bobby," the boy said, shaking my hand with a firm grasp. Just then another boy, who look identical to Bobby, came into view. "And this," Bobby started,"is Matthew," I nodded, and shook Matthews hand too. "So I'm guessing your here for Annabeth," Bobby said.
I nodded, and stepped through the front door, as both boys moved back, to call for Annabeth. When Annabeth finally walked down the stairs, she looked stunning. She had on a grey v-neck, with a white tank-top on underneath, owl earrings, skinny jeans and grey converse. And her hair, oh god, did I mention I loved princess curls? Her curls hung down around her face, and framed it perfectly. "Are you ready?" I asked her, once I was able to form a coherent thought again.
"Yep," she said, popping the 'p',"let's go."
Thank y'all for reading! I'm sorry it took me so long to update. If you have any ideas, or suggestions for this story, let me know in the reviews! Just a reminder, you can find all of the outfits mentioned in this story on my Polyvore account: DaughterofAthena1033. And to the guest that reviewed saying: Love this story! Nothing against softball but I honestly think of Annabeth as more of a lax chic.
First of all, thank you for reviewing! And secondly, I've never played lax, so I wouldn't know how to write about it, sorry! Also a huge thanks to everyone else that reviewed!
