Hello everyone! I have changed my pen name because it sounded boring. Well at least I think it is. Oh well whatever! Welcome to another chapter!
-GoddessOfArchitecture (I will now say GOA)
Percy POV (finally)
Me and Annabeth were running through hallways, screaming and laughing. We were playing chasy. I know, childish. Right? We were having so much fun until one of my maids, Calypso, coughed loudly. We stopped running and stood in our positions, frozen. "Percy," she started in a sophisticated tone, "Your father wishes you to eat breakfast at the dining hall. And you can bring her too." She said her as if it's the worst thing in the world. Annabeth nodded curtly as I just said, "Yeah, whatever. Wait a few minutes until we have finished our game." Calypso tried not to pull an amused smile from my childish antics. Annabeth only glared at me and nudged my arm, "Really, Seaweed Brain. I don't want to anger your father on my first day!" I just smirked at her, "Whatever you say, Wise Girl!"
Calypso frowned at our nicknames and asked (more directly to me), "Seaweed Brain and Wise Girl?" Before I could answer, the blonde headed girl explained, "Well we were best friends for a while. We grew up playing with each other in my Granny's garden and-"
"Percy! So that's were you've been! Everyday I have asked you where you were going but you just keep telling me that you were playing with dolphins!" She looked sad and hurt in her eyes but looked mad outside. "Miss Calypso, you have told us to get heading to the dining hall right?" Annabeth intervened. "Yes I have," she said bitterly. "When you have gave us a warning," Annabeth continued in a matter of factly tone, "why would you try to stop us from heading there and talking about the nonsense opinion of yours?" She grabbed my hand as she stomped along the floor loudly.
I could just feel Calypso standing there awe struck by Annabeth's intellectual. (Haha! Calypso just Got OWNNNEEDD!)"Nice, Annie," I grinned and pecked her cheek. She smirked and said, "Don't ever mess with Annabeth Chase!" I just love her pride. "Errrmm, so where do we go now?" She looked embarrassed for not knowing where to go. "I just go down this hallway and turn left," I explained. We walked through the hallway as I kept staring at Annabeth. She was scanning the architecture of the palace, shaking her head in disapproval and acceptance. Sometimes she would point her finger and trace the design embedded on the ceiling.
"Do you like it?" I regretted it from the second I said it. I got punched on the arm. Hard. This girl had zero percent training and can punch as hard as a wrecking ball! "Ow!" I yelled rubbing my arm. "That's what you get for scaring me!" I processed her words and said in a fake amazed voice, "THE Annabeth Chase scared of me? How? That's impossible!?" I dramatically flipped my hand to my forehead. "Shut up," I heard her mutter under her breath.
"Annabeth, we're here," I tapped her shoulder. She turned around and gasped. "Wow! This is beautiful! I-I'm just so amazed! Woahhh!" I looked at her weirdly, "You're really going to look at the architecture when we could be eating food?" She puffed, "Whatever."
We took our seats. There were eighteen chairs and nine on each side. On the ride side of the table are six seats with a large chair and two mediums at the middle of the side. Of course the large seat was for my father and the two mediums were mother and I's. My seat was right hand of the king chair. Annabeth was sitting next to me in a simple chair for guests.
"Yes, I would like that. Yes. Oh my. Yeah add that too. And tell the chef to make it spicy!" My father's voice rumbled through the area. Annabeth looked a little startled and sat up straighter and looked more cautious than she was before. My father turned and gripped my shoulder, his green eyes sparkling in delight. "Well, son! What fine lady have you brought into my palace!" He smiled at Annabeth in which she returned. "What's her name, Perce?" He whispered into my ear as I rolled my eyes. "Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena Olympia," I told him. "You mean she's the-"
"-Yup!" I accidentally forgot our whispering and yelled instead. Annabeth looked at me confused. She looked so cute when she scrunched up her golden eyebrows and her lips sticking out. She looked better than Aphrodite. My father coughed loudly and his eyes directed to her, "How's your mother and her blueprints? She's working hard, eh?" Annabeth looked more confused by the second. "My mother? Why do you ask?" Father looked up to the ceiling as if pleading the gods that she was joking. "You know! Your mother! Works at Olympus Sky Den. Designing Hades' new temple? You got it?"
"First of all," Annabeth started, "my mother is a demon. Second, my mother works at a bakery. And third, I don't get it." My father frowned his Raven colored brows, "That's definitely not the Athena I know of. Where did you live?" He asked suspicously. "I live in California, on Beige Hills Street. (I know you guys aren't stupid enough to look that up. If you did then I will tell you that was fake.) I went to Goode High and helped my mother at the bakery," she replied blankly. "My mother also tried to erase my memories."
"Hello, Percy!" My mother's voice echoed in. "And who is this lovely lady I ask?" I sighed and face palmed. "Food is ready!" the chef that looked like the typical French chef came in with the maids handing out our food. I sniffed in the beautiful smell of freshly baked bread and prawn crackers. And that was just the entree! "Mother, mmmm. This is sooo good," I said while chewing on some bread. "Percy! We did teach you manners! You should use them, especially when a beautiful lady is here!" My mother commanded.
"Sorry," I mumbled, food still getting chewed in my mouth. Annabeth and my mother just laughed at me as my father stroked his beard in an amused expression. "I can't believe you're a prince, Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed. I playfully glared at her, "Yeah whatever."
We finished our dinner and the maids started to pack up our left overs. "Ahhh. I could get used to this," Annabeth said happily, as she rubbed her stomach. "Careful you don't get too fat, Wise Girl!" I warned. "Me? Fat? Ahahah! Didn't you read the faery traits? We could never get fat, Seaweed Brain!" She grinned a winning grin. "How come! How come water nymphs don't get to!" I whined like a child. "Because my kind is a-w-e-s-o-m-e!" She said as she poked my chest.
"Ermm, hey! Would you like me to show you around? Atlantis, I mean?" I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. "Whoever runs to the exit wins!" She sprinted towards different hallways. And with that, I took it as a yes. Boy, I thought, this girl really knows her way on the first day.
I got a late Valentine's gift! From my kinda friend. He gave me a pink sparkly letter and a necklace with two hearts and a diamond on top. I still don't know how I feel about this :p. My father is getting so overprotective and keeps saying 'remember, studying is the number one priority!' PFFFT. Yeah right. Well that's the end of this chapter.
stay happy- GOA
