Chapter 3: Chapter 3
I stopped the outfit descriptions caus I don't know if you guys are into that
Also I switched Luke and Nico, (So Luke is just her brother and Nico was the one she liked)
Songs: Avril Lavinge Rock and roll, Bruno Mars Just the way you are.
I know I use Avril Lavinge a lot but I think she describes Thalias Deposition to life and that's how I imagine Annabeth's voice. I also Imagine Percy's voice like- Well like Anthem Lights (That's the you tubers) they are completely awesome
I also decided to Get Annabeth into school again (Even though it's actually Sunday when this chapter happens) Thank you to my wonderful subscribers, Followers, Favorites, (The list goes on) and thanks to my commenters!
"Annabeth Wake up. We're not good at baking" Thalia says. I moan and get up.

"Done!" I say grabbing a cinnamon bun. "Can you wake up the boys?" Rachel asks.
I roll my eyes "Yeah sure ask me to do everything" I say already heading up the stairs.
The boys where all passed out in Jason's room, Jason was on the bed, Percy on the couch. And the rest where on the floor on blankets.
"Wake UP!" I say. Nothing. I grab a cup from the bathroom. And fill it with cold water. You can guess what happens
"ARRGH!" The boys sit up faces wet. I stand arms crossed.
"You want Food? Well then get dressed and come down stairs. And-"I was going to give a very nice lecture when my phone rang.
"EMMA!" I drop the glass and run to my bag.
I open Skype and accept the call.
Emma seems to be in a brown house. Outside is snatches of blue. "Emma!" I say going to the kitchen.
"Annabeth! Thalia, Rachel, Piper. God you guys have grown" Emma says smiling. "Yeah. Sorry I wasn't there when you called, I accidently switched phones with someone" I said.
Emma frowns "Yeah I saw that guy, looks familiar. He seemed surprised that I was calling his phone."
Percy walks in behind me eating a cinnamon roll "Jason! You think you can cook? Then try these! Nice cooking Annabeth" Percy says twisting, tossing his cinnamon roll in the air, catching it in his mouth, getting out the milk and pouring it into his glass, then putting the milk back with a twist. It looked pretty cool.
Jason enters "Yeah these are good. But your still a psycho for pouring water on me" Jason says doing the same trick.
Lee comes in "MHHM. Yup complete psycho. Yelling Emma at the top of your lungs is so not creepy" Lee says trying the same trick.
I roll my eyes "Yeah Jason's band. Hey did you see the YouTube of me singing Sk8ter boi?" I ask. Emma nods.
"Did I just see 4 more?" She asks, "Well duh Jason's band. 4 more. I so have not told you 700 times." I say.
Some woman in pigtails appears covered in grease. "Did I just hear 4 more?" She asks. Jason passes behind me as she says this. "Yup. Cute hair" He says.
The woman gasps. She looks like under 25. "Yeah 4 more fans everywhere. But I'm really happy for your band" Emma says

We got out of Thalias SUV. Everyone turned and stared, mostly because of last night.
A lot of girls and quite a few boys are at those concerts. I smile. I'm wearing the outfit Piper found for me yesterday.
We have music.
Music is mandatory 2 days a week but the rest of the week in first free period you can go and be there in another class, so that's what we did 3rd period.
A lot and I mean A LOT of people are crammed in the music room when we enter.
Piper always has her guitar over her shoulder, because she lives closest to school she can run home at lunch and put it at home and use the guitars case for books and homework so she has it on at all times.
I see the red light over the mirrors.
Signaling that there's a talent scout.
"Annabeth I know you performed Thursday but can you perform today?" Mss. Robenecks asked.
She glances at the mirrors and I realize that she's offering me a chance. "Ok" I say. I motion and we proceed to the front.
We set up, and Drew, Thalias boyfriend gives the thumb to tell us that the cameras rolling
Let em know that we're still Rock n Roll
I don't care about my makeup
I like it better with my jeans all ripped up
Don't know how to keep my mouth shut
You say so what (What)
I don' t care if I'm misfit
I like it better than the hipster of all shit

I and Thalia did this, she sang as backup, Piper did too. I did something crazy and on each Hey, pointed at someone in the crowd. "Just wanted to say Thanks to My band, and Especially to Thalia for writing Rock `n` roll" I say as we ended there was Clapping. Drew gave the Thumb down and tossed me the camera.
XXXXXXXXXX
Lunch Is Crazy.
Mostly cause guess who shows up? Percy. "Heyyy dudette!" He says in a surfer dude accent.
He wears sunglasses, a blonde wig and his tan skin shines. No one pays him any attention. I text him.
That is the worst disguise EVER
His phone bleats "Yeah I agree"
Want to go?
I roll my eyes and nod "I'm going to the bookstore" I say.
I exit and run to my favorite bookstore, just around the corner from school. I look for a good book.
A Jane Austin. I find one and curl in the back of the store.
XXX
I don't know how long I've been reading but I hear someone behind me
"You look really cute half asleep" Percy says behind me. I jump.
"Yeah thanks. I wouldn't be if you had come earlier" I say. He sighs
"Yeah sorry. Paparazzi" Percy says, I stand up.
"Yeah. I think I'm dying my hair" I say. I don't know why I'm telling him. I think no one takes me seriously as a blonde
Percy raises and eyebrow "really? I don't think-"
Suddenly there's a camera flash.
"Found me. Bye" He grabs my hand and we run.
XXXXX
I sneak back into school and Percy goes off to wherever he goes. I hadn't missed any classes thank god.
After school I went home.
After finishing my homework and doing dinner I hear screams and yells
"Matthew, David stop Fighting!" I yell. "We're Not Fighting!" They yell back,
I walk over to them. "Well then who's shout-"I let the question die.
They're watching the live 4 more concert. Does that TV ever change channels?
"Percy's making a Special announcement" David says. I sit down next to them.
"This is a special song for a special girl, who inspired me to change. I wrote it just for her" Percy says
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are.
Just the way you are
Percy bows to surprised applause. He winks at the camera "I think you look better blonde" he says,
I drop my books.
I run up to my bedroom, close the door, lean up against it and breathe.
This is too- way too much.
I curl up on my bed and remember the days before,
Before I let anyone hear me sing,
Before I sang with piper on her Guitar,
Before it all,
Before Emma shipped off,
Before all of this, was it better?
I don't know.
Percy Just Sang for me. Wrote the whole Song Just for Me,
I have to admit, His voice sounds better when he sings like that
He sounded Amazing
But still-
He's so-
I can't explain it
I turn on the TV
It's on the correct channel and I see Percy take out his phone before it cuts to commercials.
My phone rings.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Annabeth? Are you OK? It sounds like your crying." Percy's concerned voice comes over the phone.
I hadn't realized.
"Yeah I'm fine. I liked your song" I say.
"Thanks. I still think you shouldn't dye your hair." Percy says
"I'm not planning to anymore" I say
"Maybe I should write a song every time to stop you from being stupid." Percy says
"Seaweed Brain" I say. Whoa where did that come from?
"What? Seaweed Brain?" Percy asks
"Yeah call him that! He's obsessed with the ocean!" Someone's voice yelled on Percy's end.
"Sorry about that. I have to talk to you later" Percy says after what sounds like laughing and breaking
"Just ask Thalia for directions. Sorry I just- I have to go." I say. I keep on choking up
"Ok. See you later" Percy said sounding a little disappointed.
"Yeah I'll talk to you soon" I say.
I hang up after listening to him breathing for a second.
I get out my journal.
I haven't used it in forever.
My last entry was when my boyfriend broke up with me.
Some scrawled lyrics.
My sister beat him up, and my brother spread that around school.
I hadn't even known, but I had every single girl being sympathetic to me.
Now for another entry.
Hello again.
Percy, from 4 more, we bumped into each other a couple of days ago and now…
Now he's writing songs for me. And singing them in front of 1,000s of people,
He's – He's making me feel like last time.
But last time my heart broke.
And I keep that inside.
And I sing Thalia's Lyrics and I feel like maybe there mine too.
The anger and sadness I refuse to un-cork.
If Percy breaks through I won't know what to do-
I just won't. He seems so easy.
And I want to let everything go-
But how can I?
How Can I?
Annabeth.
I hear my cellphone ring but I can't reach it.
I fall asleep, cheek pressed against the fresh ink.
I never tell anyone about Nico. I've always had a crush on him, since Luke became my half-brother, He was my brother's best friend.
And Maybe I won't.
Then I slip into sleep.
