Percy's POV:
It was a few Minutes before 3 pm and I finally found the right street. The street where Annabeth lived in. Now I just had to find the House.
After 5 more minutes I found the right house and rang the bell.
Annabeth opened the door.
"Hey. Come on in."
I walked down the entrance hall and took off my shoes.
There were three doors. Right. Left. Straight ahead. And one stair to the next floor.
"We go to my room, if that's okay for you."
I nodded and followed her the stairs up to the next floor. On this floor there were 5 doors and another staircase.
"We need to go to the next floor. My Room is in the attic."
I followed her up the next staircase. There were 2 more doors. We went through the left one and entered a big room. The walls were painted in a light grey and across from the door was a window, just in the diagonally wall.
Also across from the door was a desk with a laptop and a book on it. Next to it was a bookshelf, full of books.
I guess Annabeth likes reading.
On the left side of the door stood a big bed and next to it a cupboard. On the right side only were dressers because of the diagonal walls. On the wall were the desk stood, hung notes on the wall. From afar it looked like some drawings. But when I got closer I recognized that they were designs. I guess buildings.
In comparison to my room it was much bigger and more beautiful.
We sat down in front of her desk. There already were pencils, a poster, Papers and the notes we collected during our research. But it still wasn't enough, obviously. This was the reason why we still had to keep on researching.
After 2 hours, I got headache from all the reading. I have dyslexia and the words are moving away from the pages. You see, reading doesn't really count to my hobbies.
"We're almost done. Oh by the way, do you want to drink something?" Annabeth asked after a while.
"Oh Yeah, please. "
"Alright. What do you want? We have Water, Lemonade, Coke, Coffee, Tea…"
"I take a glass of Water."
"Alright. Be right back." Then she stood up and walked out of the Room downstairs, to the kitchen as I suspected. While she was downstairs, I looked around in her Room.
Between the designs she hung up Pictures. On many I recognized the people which I met at school. On a few other Pictures, I saw her with another girl in childhood age. When I looked closer I recognized Thalia. They must have been friends for a really really long time.
After I was done watching the pictures, I took a better look on the designs. They were really good. Not that I know something about it, but it was really good in my opinion.
I heard the door opening and Annabeth stepped next to me.
"I want to be an architect, just like my mom." She said to me. I guess she must have recognized how I was eyeing her designs.
"They are really good?"
"You think so?"
"Yeah. Well I think they are really good."
"Thank you." She said again and blushed a little bit.
I just smiled at her. It was kinda cute, that she blushed.
"Uhm…here is your water."
"Thanks."
"Should we keep on doing our presentation?"
I nodded and we kept on working on our poster. After one more hour we were done.
"Finally." Annabeth sighed.
I leaned back in my chair and looked at our poster.
"In my opinion we made that really good." I said.
Annabeth nodded. "Me too."
We heard yelling from downstairs. It sounded like two boys.
"Oh man…these are my two half-brothers Matthew and Bob. Just ignore the yelling. Probably Matthew played Bob a prank again. Just like always."
"Sounds nice. How old are they?"
"12."
"Both?"
"They're twins."
"Cool."
"Well…I think it's annoying. Especially the pranks. There almost worse than the Stoll's pranks."
"You mean Travis and Connor?"
Annabeth nodded. "Yes, they."
"What pranks are the playing, anyway? Travis and Connor. I mean, for what do I need to prepare myself."
"Everything. From Water on the chair until stealing your clothes while you in swim lesson. Everything is possible."
"We're having swimming as lesson?"
"Yeah, in Summer. Instead of sports. We also have a swim team in our school. But they are really bad, if you ask me."
"Do they go on competitions?"
"Yes. But like I already mentioned, they are bad. We never won. We are always on the last places and we have this team for 2 or 3 years now. Meanwhile not even their girlfriends go to their competitions."
"That's embarrassing."
"Yes. Do you like swimming?"
"Uhm, well yes."
"You could join if you want to."
"Better not."
"You don't even have to be good. You wouldn't even stand out."
I laughed. "That's not the reason. Being bad I mean."
"What is it then?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Okay. When do you have to be home?"
"At latest I have to be back around 12 pm."
"Really? You can stay away that long?"
I nodded.
"Woah. My dad would never allow that. I have to be back at least at 8 pm."
"Me too, earlier."
Luckily Annabeth didn't asked more.
"If you want to, we can go having dinner together. I guess my Family already ate without me."
"I would love to. I missed dinner at home too."
