~~~Annabeth's POV~~~
~~~After School~~~
Did PERCY JACKSON, an A LISTER POPSTAR just asked ME, ANNABETH CHASE, in line for the next Athena Chase, OUT? I was startled and speechless. I know it is JUST a study DATE but still, there is the word DATE in it. Oh my gods. I told Silena to drive my car back to my dad's home while I hopped into Percy's awesome Bentley car. It has EVERYTHING! What surprised me the most was when he asked, "Anything you want? Like movies or music?" I looked at him confused. I mean like how will he be able to get what I want? So I tested him.
"You have Avengers?" I asked. He smirked.
"I don't but I will." He smiled.
"Wait you're going buy it? Then never mind."
"Relax. Black Jack!" He said. I looked at him as if he went crazy.
"Yes boss?" The speakers said. I looked at him surprised.
"Avengers. Movie. Marvel. Robert Downey Junior."
"All set." A screen bigger than the one on the business class of a normal plane came out and the movie started playing. I grabbed the headphones as I said thank you to Percy. I didn't even want to know how. But he was famous, he can ask any dude to just come over and help in upgrade the car. Sooner or later, he pulled up in front of an amazingly built house. It is 5 stories. Every window frame was made of Celestial Bronze or Imperial Gold. The sides were made of marble stone and for the back of the house, they used rosemary wood to match the garden. I was literally gaping at the house until Percy said…
"Annabeth? Are you okay?" He asked with a cute but worried expression. His eyebrows were scrunched together and his sea-green eyes are huge in terror.
"I'm fine. Something that I inherited through my mum. Admiring the architecture." I answered. I followed him into the house. WOW! Their funky chandelier. Their glass table. JUST WOW!. I followed Percy up the Stygian Iron stairs. I got into his room, which was painted in Sea-Green. The color matches his eyes completely. Their were posters scattered on a shelf. He gave me a little tour around his huge room.
"Well this messiest shelf is the place in the room that I am afraid of. Just in 2 days, our manager sent us all of our posters and it is pretty frightening to have your own pair of eyes stare at you." He shivered at the thought of that and I giggled. He showed me other parts of his room then we went down to the snack bar to grab a drink. As we were walking down, Percy talked about once before their concert.
"So, Thalia was getting really nervous because she was having to jump down from the balcony. (A/N Thalia is fear of heights) We, being good cousins asked her what will help her out. She then asked our bodyguard to take in 5 buckets of ice-cream. If I remember well, it is 1 litre. Despite the fact that our manager said no, Thalia insisted. So we sat there with the ice-creams in the microwave, waiting for it to melt. When it is done, Thalia forced us to drink 1 litre each and she did so herself. For some particular reason, melted ice cream should make her feel better but that was her unlucky day. When we did our final rehearsal of Thalia jumping off the balcony, she vomited all the ice-cream as she jumped. So imagine yourself, holding a water gun and holding the trigger as you jump down the pool, that was how she looked but it was ice-cream vomit instead of water and it was coming fro her mouth, she looked like an uncontrollable girl spitting things out and jerking around in the air. It was hilarious. The ice-cream that she drank was mango too!" I laughed. " I even got it on tape." He said as he showed me. I nearly fell down from laughing. Luckily, Percy caught me awkwardly and our bodies were nearly touching. I stared into his eyes while he did the same. I pushed him off and muttered thanks as I saw that Thalia, Bianca, Jason and Nico was staring. When we walked down the last step, they just whistled innocently or stared at their coffees.
"Hey guys!" I said as if nothing happened.
"Hey." They said in an tired voice.
"Why are you guys so tired?"
"Well let's just say that we have to beat some girls off us." Jason and Nico said in a matter of tone.
"Boys for Bianca and I." Thals said.
"You and kelp head left before people went swarming around." Nico said.
"It was pretty embarrassing having your friends protection us." Jason said as he examined his coffee.
"Well too bad! You shouldn't have been so slow." Percy said as he handed me a coffee.
"Since when do you brew coffee for people other than yourself?" Bianca said as she wiggled her eyebrows. I had to stop myself from blushing by imagining my twin brothers being wacked by my mom to make me laugh but I swallowed it.
"Like I can't?" Percy said coolly.
"No you can but you have never done it before." Nico said as I sipped my coffee. MAN! It was good!
"Well people who we've met before use coffee makers daily. I'm not sure if she knows." He said as he started to blush.
"Oh! Percy Jackson cares 'bout others!" Thalia squealed like a 5 year old.
"Okay! That's enough! Now Percy and I need to hit the books!" I said giving them my signature glare.
"I'd never imagine the Percy and books will be in the same sentence!" Jason said. I ignored him and went up to his study room. I glanced behind seeing that Percy was right after. When we got up, I started taking my stationary out to put it on his huge desk.
"Hey, Annabeth? I am going to go get my bag from my room, I am going to be back real quick." He said then ran off.
I took this opportunity to look around. There is a huge bookshelf but with only a few in it. I took it out not knowing what book is it and flipped to a random page. On that, there is Percy in his swim trunks carrying a pretty girl with light brown hair, perfectly tanned skin. She was wearing a bikini, which I always thought was TOO revealing in one way or the other. I flipped to another page and there is a picture of Percy having his arms wrapped around her protectively. I blinked back a few tears of jealousy and closed the book, putting it back at its rightful place due to hearing Percy's footsteps. I made a mental note to myself ask him about the photos.
"So what do you need help the most?" I asked as he entered.
"Math!" He said the word with disgust.
"Okay!" We pulled out our homework, which are 2 pages in the workbook.
~~~After 2 hours~~~
"FINALLY! You've finished your MATH homework! In 2 hours!" I cried. He doesn't even bother thinking about it. That was why Thalia calls him kelp head.
"Well I'm not as smart as you. WISE GIRL!"
"At least others your age won't need 2 hours to finish 2 pages of math Seaweed brain." I got no idea where that came from.
"Ya ya whatever," His hands pressed a button, "Yes?"
"Yay! It worked!" I heard Thalia's voice, "Now that I don't need to come up to tell you or shout!"
"What is it?" He asked.
"Nico and I are going to order pizza. Is Annie there?"
"No she is not! But Annabeth is." I said through the mike.
"Yeah yeah whatever! Blonde brain are you staying for dinner?" She asked
"Well do you want me to?" I asked
"Yes!" All of Percy's cousin yelled and Percy too.
"Okay! At least I don't need to see Miss hate me."
"Ya nice joke you've got there. Did your taste bud change in 10 years?" She asked.
"Nope!"
"Kay then bye!" And click! It was off.
"What do you want to do now? Pizza should be here in 15 minutes if Thalia said she was Thalia." I took this as the opportunity to ask him about the girl.
"Lemme see your books?" And without waiting for his answer, I went over to the book that I was looking at before he went in and took.
"Ya sure! I never read it." He said coming over.
I flipped to the first page where it was really a page with many words. The story was from peter rabbit. I sat at the table and Percy sat right next to me. He took a sharpie and drew to moustache on Peter rabbit. I flipped the pages and he add one to every Peter Rabbit. Then until that page of him and the girl, he drew a moustache on his face and then he stopped. He glared at it. BTW the page said do it yourself. I saw tears coming down so I shut the book immediately.
"What wrong?"
"Nothing." I gave him my best puppy eyes look, " Sorry but I do not want to talk about it." I patted him on the back as I reached for a tissue paper.
"Are you sure? Sometimes holding a grudge will harm you more than spilling it out." I said softly as I wiped his tears.
"I am fine. Thanks." He smiled through his sadness. Man! He just looks so loving that way. I gave up.
"Hey nerds! Pizza's here! Come down!" The speakers cracked.
"That's our cue!" I said, "Would you like me to bring it up to you or not? You look horrible." I asked.
"Umm… Can you please bring it up?" He asked. I nodded and then dashed down the stairs.
"Where is kelp head?" Jason asked.
"He is upstairs. I'm going have to bring it up to him."
"Why?" Bianca asked. Taking a break from stuffing pizza into her mouth.
"Well. After he finished his math, we took a look at his books. There was one that is like a Peter Rabbit storybook and he was drawing moustaches on the pictures. Then in the middle of the book there was a picture," I stopped as I felt a lump at my throat, "Ahem, He was the beach with a girl and he started tearing up." I finished. They looked at each other concerned.
"What did I do wrong?" I asked.
"Did the girl have brown hair?" Nico asked.
"Yep why?" They started whispering. I heard glimpse of it. "No it can't be." "Why would there be a picture of her?" "Maybe he just forgot."
"Hello? Can you guys whisper behind my back somewhere else? I need to get some food." I said. With that they moved away.
~~~Percy's POV~~~
Calypso… Thank the gods Annabeth did not realizes that she was my ex. That would have been weird. The girl who I hope to be with seeing the girl who kicked my heart up my ass. I tried to not cry in front of her but I can't. That day was just too unbearable.
~~~Flashback~~~
I was planning my birthday "blow-out" with my cousins. We were giving out ideas while Thalia was writing them down. The party was going to be on a hill that our dads gave us when we were 10. People who were invited were the non-snobby celebrities, our nicer uncles and aunts. Unfortunately, our fathers would be there. I asked if Calypso could come after all, we've been together for a year and half. Though we did not celebrate my birthday with her because last time, the party did not include her due to Thalia's rule. Luckily, she said yes this time. Then, Jason's "good friend" who we always say that they should get together, Reyna called.
"Hey Rey whats'up?" He said.
"Um… Is Percy there?" She asked. That was weird.
"Yep! Why?"
"You better get to Manhattan Mall. I mean Percy… Yea! Manhattan Mall. Big things happening."
"Reyna? You called to tell Percy to go to Manhattan Mall?"
"Yep! Big things are happening related to Percy." She said, "BYE!" The phone clicked.
"Well I guess I got to go to Manhattan Mall!" They just stared. I grabbed my jacket and asked Tim, our driver, to drive me to Manhattan Mall. I got out of the car and walked to where I see Reyna and her manager, Circe standing there. Reyna works at a spa shop at Manhattan Mall. Reyna saw me and ran over.
"Percy look over there!" She pointed over to a pair sucking faces. At first I would be confused, calling me over to show me some teen romance. Then I realized that the girl was none other than CALYPSO! I was furious, then heart-broken, then confused. I resist the urge to go there because, 1, many people were at that side so if I yelled at her, I would then be crowded with fans, 2, I wanted to plan something big something to get revenge at that girl who I cared, loved so much, who kicked my heart up my ass. I left but not before taking a picture of the scene of disgust. When I got home, I showed my cousins the picture. While they were planning my big revenge, that's because I suck in revenge, I cried and cried. Even after the revenge, I still felt hurt. Really hurt. Bianca and Thalia asked me to get a date or something to get past it. But I cant. That was not until we went on the tour. I had real fun and forgot about that … that… (Shall I use a swear? I guess so this is Rated T) BITC…"
~~~End of Flashback~~~
"Percy? You okay?" Annabeth asked from the door, "I knocked but you didn't answer." She said softly, calming my nerves.
"I'm fine and thanks!" I said as she handed me the plate of pizza.
"You want me to stay here and eat with you or do you want to be alone?" She gave me a choice. I considered a while and realized that I'm fine with both.
"Your choice." Then she left me alone. Never thought that she would want to eat with them. Seconds later, she came back holding a plate with exactly like mine.
"You really thought that I would leave you right after you broke down?" She said, leaning down to were I was. I was sitting on the couch. Her bangs (curls) fell down a little. I looked up her used to be stormy grey eyes and I realized that they turned into a strong yet comfortable shade of gray that makes me feel relaxed. Man! I just loved her eyes. I smirked in a good way then made our way to the tables. We tidied the table up and I accidentally swiped her folder full of papers inside off the table. Everything escaped it.
"Oh gods! I am so sorry!" I said as I collected the sheets. Then I realized that they weren't those boring worksheets that I hate. It is one of those that I like…
(A/N: Cliff hanger! Sorry I took so long. Shall I include more swear words in it? I only put it as rated T because this is my first fanfiction. When I read other fanfics, I realized in rated T stories, they put some pretty vile stuff so I need your advice!)
