Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson.
Hi, peoples! I'm so happy it's Friday and I don't know if you have this or not, but this coming week (September 23-29) is Fall Break for me! Who-hoo! I'm not going anywhere, just chillin at home! Anyways, prendre plaisir! (French for enjoy!)
Percy had set 10 alarms for 6:00. After the icy cold stare Annabeth had given him, Percy decided it would be better if he set alarms.
It was not better.
At 5:53, Percy was ready to go. He had put on the costume the designer had given him, had gotten all the stuff he would need, and of course, his vlog camera. Since he was ready, he decided to vlog about.
He opened up his camera and pressed record.
"Alrighty, currently, I'm heading over to Annabeth's to shoot for a little collab we're doing."
He was talking to the vlog camera for so long that he shrieked and almost wet his pants when the 10 alarms went off. Almost wet his pants. After he calmed down a little, he checked his heart rate on his Apple watch. It was 109. Percy drank some water and replayed the clip on his vlog camera. He shook his head and closed his camera, grabbed his stuff and headed out the door. Once he was out of Tower 2, he sprinted down towards Tower 4 and saw Starbucks the minute he entered the lobby. He saw a blond Annabeth talking to a girl with choppy brown hair and mocha colored skin. When he got there, he saw she had color changing eyes and immediately recognized as Piper McLean, world famous singer and girlfriend of Jason Grace. Annabeth checked her watch.
"Only two minutes late." Annabeth smirked. "Not bad, Jackson. Sorry i'm being rude. Piper, this is Percy Jackson, the YouTuber I'm doing a collab with. Percy, this is-"
"Piper McLean." Percy finished. "I've heard all about you. Jason's my best bro."
"And I've heard all about you." Piper's melodic voice said as they shook hands.
"If you remember, Percy, on our script is a girl named Lillie, who is my best friend." Annabeth looked at Percy dead in the eye. Percy nodded.
"Well, Piper will be playing her." Annabeth said.
"Cool beans. Let's start." Percy said.
The first scene was where Conner (Percy) and Megan (Annabeth) collide with each other causing Megan's Red Velvet Frappuccino to go flying onto Conner's brand new white shirt that his girlfriend (played by one of Percy's friends Rachel Dare) had given Conner for Conner's birthday.. After that the two apologize and go about their day, but later Lilah (Conner's girlfriend) thinks that Megan purposely spilled the drink on Conner just to get his attention and she gets jealous and all of those stupid assumptions that happen blah blah.
After filming, Percy, Piper, and Annabeth ordered some frappuccinos from the barista at the counter. They sat down in a nearby booth. When Piper was gone to get some straws, Percy asked. "So. . . anyone special in your life?"
Annabeth sighed as she stared at her drink. "Please don't tell me you've read the tabloids."
"I never read tabloid. I never know what rumor they've made up about me." Percy said.
"Well, if I tell you something, will you promise not to tell anyone?" Annabeth asked, talking to her drink more than to him.
"Ooo, got a crush on somebody?" he wiggled his eyebrows at her and she blushed. "But, yes, I promise."
"Well, I'm dating someone secretly." she said, looking at him.
"Who?" Percy said as his heart dropped.
Annabeth took a deep breath before replying. "Luke Castellan."
Percy stared at Annabeth. "That guy?"
Percy had heard of Luke Castellan and what he had heard was that the guy was a singer, but all of his songs were auto tuned and that he was a jerk to all his fans.
As if she read his mind, Annabeth said. "You just haven't met him in person. He's really sweet."
"Who's really sweet?" Piper interceded.
"Oh. . .um, well, we were just-" Percy stammered.
"Percy, she knows." Annabeth said.
Piper glared at Annabeth. "You told him. What's the point of it being a secret if 50 people know about it?" she said as she sat down and handed Percy and Annabeth the straws.
After that whole scenario, Percy went home, sat down with a gallon of ice cream and watched rom-coms on Netflix.
Sorry that was a horrible ending! Anyways, please do leave a review (didn't get as many as expected) because I love it when you guys leave a review. Anyways, have a good weekend and I'll see you next week.
