-•-Prologue-•-
As soon as my phone starts playing I want my tears back, by Nightwish, I know the caller is Thalia. The only reason I have that song is because she downloaded it. (Though I must admit it's cool. Just…not my type). Jumping into the bed, already dressed in my pajama, I press the 'answer' button.
"What can I do for you, Grace?" I ask. She never calls this late unless she's planning something. Nothing good can come from the call.
"Ah, thank God you're awake!" she responds. I can recognize the sound of a door slamming at the other side of the line, and then her old Beetle roaring to life.
"Of course I'm awake, it's only nine. Where are you going?"
"To your house. Get dressed, we're going to a party."
"What?" To be honest, this isn't rare at all. Thalia does it all the time. She always takes me to the movies, or to have dinner. One time we even went to an abandoned water park at night. (The creepiest experience I've ever had). But she never invites me to parties. Despite the fact that she's a rebel, she doesn't like places full of partiers. Me neither.
"Yeah, what you heard. We're going to Drew's party, so put on something very un-Annabeth. I'll be there in fifteen minutes," she says.
"Drew Tanaka's party? I think you're forgetting the fact that she hates me. I've known her for three years and she's never invited me to her parties." Probably because I left her out my team once, when we were in high school. But she deserved it! While everyone worked she just polished her nails and 'cheered' us. No one deserves a good grade for saying 'Come on, team'.
"But she invited me, and I'm allowed to take anyone. My cousin, Percy, just arrived from San Francisco and he wants to go out. So I invited him and my friend Samantha Miller."
"Samantha Miller?" In the years I've known her, she has never mentioned anyone named Samantha. "Who is that?"
There's a strange connection between Thalia and me. Somehow, I know when she's grinning like a pervert without even watching her. This is one of those occasions. "You'll find out soon. Just put on something that you would never use."
A/N: Good evening, everyone! It's been long since the last time I published something here in Fanfiction; I've lost practice, so I hope this piece isn't too bad. That's why I'm using this account now, until I'm ready to go back to my original account (if you've read some of my stories you will probably recognize me). Anyway, I hope you liked this small piece. I will probably publish the next part in a couple of hours, or tomorrow. But I'll do it.
Thank you for reading!
