Um…hi. Hehe. Hehe. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! IM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING. I has so many things to do. Seriously, last time I tried to update, Amy walks in with a bottle of purple hair dye, and I have to explain that we have to bleach her hair first, then we walk to Walgreens to get bleach, and get HER OWN PURPLE HAIR DYE AND NOT USE MINE. And see all of what I wrote? It took me FIVE days to finish an author's note because I keep getting interrupted. And I had the CRAPPIEST holiday ever. Any ways:

I don't own PJO? NO SHI—

PERCY

Quando sono solo sogno allorizzonte e mancan le parole, si lo so che non cÃ

I winced as Pollux prepared his rendition of Time to say Goodbye by Andrea Bocelli. He was obviouslydrunk, and it showed in his singing. Demigods huddled around all practicing their songs. I saw a familiar head of blonde. She turned to me happily and jumped up and down.

"I am so excited!" she sang. "I jus' can't hide it!" Then she mouthed, what are you singing?

Don't know.

"Hey Percy!" came that voice.

"Heey…" It came out more singsong than I wanted it to sound.

Crystal swirled around in her white flowery blouse. She wore bellbottom jeans and purple vans. Her pretty face was caked in makeup.

She was in large contrast to Annabeth, who was wearing a grey hoodie, and skinny jeans with checkered air walks. They stared, bright green, to stormy grey. Crystal jumped back, wrapping her arms around me.

"Ehmygoawd!" she exclaimed. "Are you, like, wearing, like, contacts?"

Annabeth gritted her teeth, shaking her head.

"Well, they are SO pretty! Do you have extra pairs?"

"She says she doesn't," I said, trying to sound serious, which was hard, since I was singing it. I pulled away awkwardly from Crystal and scooted towards Annabeth.

"OMG! Are you guys together?"

Annabeth look incredulous. "NO SHI—"

I clamped my hand over her mouth.

"Y-ess…" I sang.

She smirked, and muttered something along the lines of Not for long. I was feeling uncomfortable.

Annabeth

I'm in the business of misery; let's take it from the top

She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock

It's a matter of time before we all run out

But when I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth

I smoothed my hair. And practiced some more. My voice was surprisingly edgy, that making it the reason I chose the song. I stared at the red hair extensions lying on my desk, waiting to be used.

"Knock knock," came the disgustingly sweet tone.

"Crystal," I snarled, lifting my tone to a b flat.

She smirked. "Oh, geez you're actually good. Too bad you're no match for me." She sat down and began to polish her nails a shade of hot pink.

I grabbed the polish and pointed at the door.

"Out," I sang.

She smirked, turning around. "See you tonight, Annie."

Just so you know, "Tonight" is the first round of the competition…
