Accidental Cell Phone Swap Chapter 3:

Annabeth's POV:

The next morning I woke up and stretched. My sore legs were tired from standing in line for 4 hours. I groaned as I pulled myself out of bed and went over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I stripped down and turned on the shower. I waited for it to warm up and hopped in.

After I was done, I wrapped my towel around me and walked over to my walk-in closet. I picked out a pair of dark skinny jeans, grey v-neck and a white tank top and all the other stuff I need. I put on my grey vans and headed downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning Annabeth" My mom says as I entered the kitchen. Luke, my dad, and Matthew were already sitting at the table.

"Morning." I reply as I sit down and grab a piece of toast.

My dad puts down the newspaper he was reading and then says "Luke, shouldn't you be heading off to football practice now?"

Then Luke checked his phone and cussed under his breath. "I gotta go. Bye." And then he stuffed a pancake into his mouth. How he didn't choke I have no idea.

"Wait!" I cried out before he got out of the room. "The cars mine today."

"Please Annabeth. I have football practice today."

"But it's my first day of work!" I argued.

My dad said "You can take the bus today Annabeth."

I sigh and blow out a piece of hair in my face. There was no point of arguing more since my dad is one of those people who make up their mind and is too stubborn to change it.

"Fine. But you owe me something."

"Thanks Annabeth."

On his 16th birthday, Luke got a car that we were supposed to share when I turned 16. I recently turned 16 and got my driver's license. Since he has football practice and needs it more than me, I have to let him use it since my dad says its 'fair' because he wants Luke to get a full scholarship to the University he wants to go to.

I finished breakfast, grabbed my bag and walked over to Thalia's house. It was only 3 minutes away. I rang the doorbell and 30 seconds later Thalia flinged the door open. Poor door.

"I need a ride to the mall." I explained.

"Sure. Gimme a minute to get ready." She replied.

I nodded and went inside the house. I closed the door and plopped down on her couch. She was really rich…well her dad was. Her dad, Zeus, owns a airline company and is really rich. Obviously.

Thalia ran down the stairs and said "Let's go."

She opened her garage and started playing eenie meenie miney mo with her cars. Her finger landed on a black mustang and she got the keys off the wall and unlocked the car. I hopped in and noticed there was still the new car smell. She started the car and put in a Green Day CD. She turns it up and my ears are pounding. She pulls out of the garage and sings along to the lyrics.

"I'm surprised how your ears aren't bleeding. My poor ears are bleeding to death." I yelled at her over the loud music.

"Shut up." Thalia says as she turns the volume down so it's bearable but still super loud.

Then we just drive without talking for a few minutes.

"Hey don't you think we should get jobs since its summer and we need money for Collage next year." She randomly says out of nowhere.

"Correction, I need money. You don't." I answer back.

"Oh. Right. But I offered to pay the tuition. Well my dad did actually. Kinda."

"And I said I wanted to earn money myself. My parents can pay the tuition since Luke will probably get a scholarship from football. But yea a job sounds cool since there's nothing to do this summer. Why not?"

Thalia and I went window shopping at the mall. Then something caught my eye. It was a help wanted sign. I tugged on Thalia's arm and pointed to the sign. We started to walk towards the store and I found out the name of the store was Tilly's (Awesome store in my opinion…not like it matters though). We walked in and a guy with sandy blond hair and bright blue eyes welcomed us.

"Hello welcome to Tilly's, how can I help you?" he said friendly.

"Oh my friend and I saw the help wanted sign and thought we would check if we could get the jobs. I said gesturing to the help wanted sign.

"Alright. My names Derek. Do both of you want jobs? Or just one of you."

"Both of us." Thalia says.

"I have currently 3 jobs available. 1 of them is the cashier job, you check out they're item. Simple. The other is the skateboard section where you help people find the boards they need and stuff. And the last job I have is the clothing one where you help people find their size, fold clothes and other things.

"I'll take the skateboard one." Thalia blurts out. Typical.

"Alrighty what about you?" he nods to Thalia and turns to me.

I was having a mini debate in my head. One voice said "Take the cashier job. You're good at counting and you get to meet lots of new people."The other said "Don't listen to him. Take the clothing one, you have great fashion advice to give."

I told the voices to go away. I decided to take the cashier job. Not just because I get to meet new people, it's because I like math and it shouldn't be that hard.

"I'll take the cashier one." I said. "Wait, do we have to fill out any paperwork?"

"I'm not too big on paperwork so no. Just need to make sure you guys aren't juvenile delinquents are you?"

"No." I reply. Thalia just grins but Derek doesn't notice. He just assumesthat Thalia isn't a juvenile delinquent. Haha ya right.
