(A.N. I am so so sorry for it taking so long. The only reason I still am doing this is I really want to do chapter 7 or whatever… cause I LOVE Pothena and it will have a lot of it! If you don't like Pothena…. Sorry Anyway, 'nuff said:)
"Let's go do something with Lily. I NEED ENTERTAINMENT!" Anna says dramatically.
I sigh and get up. "FINEEEE." I smirk as she rolls her eyes. We walk into Lily's bedroom and look at each other. She doesn't know we are here. I watch her read her book and then smirk. "THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE! AHHHH" I yelp
"Get the water! WHERE IS IT?" Lily says, jumping up. She looks at me- my smirking self –and scowls.
"You. Are. Annoying." Lily says, picking up her book that fell on the ground. She glares and me again and I smirk even more.
"The feelings mutual," I reply. "But anywho, wanna do something with us?"
Her face lights up so I take that as yes. I think back at how, before Anna arrived, she wanted to do Hide 'n' seek.
"Let's play Hide 'n' seek. Your it!" I run off and run into my mom's bedroom. I look around and look at the bathroom door, which is slightly ajar. I tiptoe into the bathroom and hop into our large bathtub. I flatten myself against the bottom. Hey, hide in obvious places, right?
The door to the bedroom opens. I flatten myself even more, thinking its Lily. Then it closes. Why would Lily close it…. My eyes widen, I really hope my mom doesn't want to take a bath. Or worse, my dad. I shudder inwardly then start to get up out the bathtub when I hear my mom sobbing on her bed.
"Why?" my mom sobs. I flatten myself against the bathtub again.
"We- we could have had it all! You would be my prince charming, my- my air head. I would be your melon brain… your little princess! Why… why did you leave me?" My mom cries.
The door opens slowly and I hear Lily's voice.
"Mommy? Me and sissy are playing hide and seek, so I want to check the bathroom. She hides there a lot."
Well. Crap. Now mom will know I was evesdropping. I hear little footsteps on the tile floor and louder ones. Oh, ok, so Anna was already found. After a few minutes I hear Anna.
"I don't think she is here." I can practically feel Lily shaking her head.
"No.. she usually hides in weird places. Check the shower and bathtub."
I see Anna's head above me and smile, trying to push my mom's crying out of my head. I get up, not saying a word, feeling like if I did, everything my mom said would pour out. Why did she act like that? I have no idea. Does it have anything to do with that picture of Percy? Again, no idea. I sigh, wanting an answer. I hear the doorbell ring and- for the first time –feel happy Anna is leaving. I don't really feel like being social anymore.
I stare at the ceiling in my bed. Or, what I thought was my ceiling. It was pitch black.. so, yeah. I just can't sleep. I squeeze my eyes tight and count sheep. Suddenly the sheep start dancing and I fall asleep.
I slurp the milk in my cereal bowl and stand up. "So. What are we doing today mom?" I say
"Taking a train to California. Work thing." She says. Before I even ask she answers. "And yes, of course we are going there."
She is talking about Orange Beach. I LOVE it there. I love the sun, and running through the waves, awesome. Weird thing is that I NEVER get sunburned and I always have a perfect tan. I don't try, it just happens. And my dad says that I could swim since birth. For some reason my entire family LOVES Greek mythology. So, when we go to the beach, my mom always say that its as if Apollo and Poseidon we helping me.
Two hours later, we were on the train heading to California. I put my hands in my ripped up jeans. I look at what Lily is reading and sigh. It's pretty hard with my dyslexia. My sister was always gifted with school stuff, even though she had dyslexia too. Me, not so much.
I blink hard and suddenly the letters start rearranging. Of course, this was just my mind. Right? I see that the letters are Greek, and I could.. read them. I turn away, not wanting to know why I could.
I look at the other passengers and my mouth opens when I see one of them. It's… Percy. Yeah, you read that right, Percy Rodrigue. I poke Lily.
"What do you wan-" she starts to say then she follows my gaze. Her mouth opens too… Apparently 7 year olds know who he is too.
"Wanna get a signed pic with him?" I whisper to Lily. She nods hard.
We stand up and walk to him. He looks at us and smiles. The weird thing about Percy is that he is kind to other people, not like other celebrities that are stuck-up.
"Can I have a picture with you?" I say.
"Sure! Would you like it signed?" He asks. Anna nods and smiles shyly. We take a picture and I notice my mom looking at him.
"What's your names?" he says, pulling out a sharpie.
"Hope and Lillian Thornton," I say
He blinks then says "Thornton?" I nod and he looks around. He smiles randomly and I look at where he is looking. At.. my mom. He walks over to her and taps her shoulder. She looks up and blushes when she sees Percy.
"Hey Melanie," Percy says, "Long time, no see!"
"Hi Percy." My mom says. "I agree." The speakers come on and announce that the train will be stopping in five minutes.
"Well, I have to go. Hey, you and your family should come over to my house later! Ok, can you come at 7?" Percy says
"Uhm, sure." My mom says. I smile and say "We will be there!"
I guess we are going to the famous Percy Rodrigue's house.
(A.N. Guys, I won't be able to update for a little while- I think –because my family is coming over for Easter so I have to clean, clean, and some more cleaning. Also, my aunt Melanie, my uncle Landon, and baby cousin Xander are coming and sleeping over (they live in a different state) for Easter. Yes, I did use their names. Don't judge. I also have these friends: Lily, Rebecca Rodrigue, and Katelyn Thornton.. HOW AWESOME AM I? :3 Anywho, hope you like it)
