ANNABETH POV:
Previously:
We all reached at the same time and we were rushing into the house. Percy swung the door open and we all rushed to the living room only to be shocked with a Thalia sitting on the couch. She was reading something and without looking up she said "So, where have you been?" Everyone looked at each other and gulped.
"u-uh…uh.. Conner?" Percy said
"Travis?"
"Katie?"
"Allison?"
"Piper?"
"Jason?"
"Clairese?"
"Chris?"
"Leo?"
"Nico?"
"Annabeth?"
"UGH! REALLY LEAVE ME AT THE END?" I shouted. Everyone looked at me and I took a deep breath "We were… we were…" Percy nudged me and I came up with something at the top of my tongue "We were at school." And that, was no lie.
Thalia put her magazine down on the table and brought her feet down. She lifted her eyebrow and walked up really close to me "At school?" She said looking into my eyes with her intimidating ones.
"Yes?" That sounded more like a question. GOD DAMN IT ANNABETH!
She studied me longer and took a step back "You're not lying."
The whole group nodded really fast that it kinda made me dizzy. Jason finally broke the silence and said "Ah, look! A fridge!" And he fast walked over there
Than Piper nodded and looked kinda serious "Oh yeah! Thats interesting!" And she followed Jason out of the room.
Thalia looked back at the remaining friends with a confused face "So, may I ask, why were you at school?"
Leo gulped "Travis?"
"Conner?"
"Percy?"
"Nic-"
"WE ARE NOT DOING THIS AGAIN!" Thalia snapped. Oops? "YOU," She pointed towards Conner "EXPLAIN!"
Conner took a gulped and took a step back and side stepped so he was behind Allison "Ah, hah, thats-a funny story," He looked at us
"Yes! Very funny…" Percy said with wide eyes
"Yes, yes, and ah. I-I, w-we walked out and got lost track of time right?" Conner said looking around the room with eyes that said 'HELP-ME'
"Mhm, and what did you do?" Thalia asked stepping closer to Conner.
"Well…" Leo started
"We, uh… yeah." Percy finished
"We were going to meet up at the dodge ball arena… But we kinda.. sorta.. got caught up" Clairese answered
"Mhm, okay. Caught up with what?" Thalia asked.
"Well…" Chris started
Thalia just raised an eyebrow "Hey! Why don't we pause this," Percy waved his arms around the room "And play dodge ball? Yeah that sounds nice. Right guys?" Percy looked around the room "Right guys?" Then everyone started to get out of their trance and Jason and Piper came walking back in "GREAT!" Then he pulled Me and Thalia to the dodgeball court in their house…wow…maybe mansion would be more suitable.
After everyone got dressed we all gathered in the middle of the air-condition room with our uniforms.
"Right so what are the groups?" Thalia asked
"Couples vs Couples!" Clairese said
"Older vs Younger!" I said
"How about Girls," Travis started
"VS BOYS!" Conner jumped up and down screaming, it was oddly funny though.
"Nah." The girls said
"What? Worried that us boys would whoop your sorry asses?" Jason said.
"Wrong move Jase," Piper said walking towards him.
"Really?"
"Whats in it for us?" The boys asked
"If you win, We do whatever you want us to do for 2 days, within reason of course." Thalia stated
"And if we win," Allison motioned to us girls "You take us out for dinner at italianes!"
"Whatever, not like you guys going to win.." Jason said it again, damn he really wants it.
"GAME ON!" Allison and Piper shouted. All the girls went on the left and the boys went on the right.
-HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT/ONE WAY OR ANOTHER-
PERCY : BOLD
PIPER : ITALICS
LEO : NORMAL
KATIE : UNDERLINE
EVERYONE : BOLD ITALICS
"3"
"2"
"1"
"ATTACK!"
Everyone ran towards the balls that were lined up in the middle and started firing like crazy. See, us girls, we are competitive and scary when we want to be.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Piper did a perfect throw to Chri's face and now she has the rush.
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
One way or another, I'm gonna win ya'
I'm get ya', I'm get ya'
Leo dodged the ball perfectly by doing a no-hand cartwheel (i mean when did they get so good at gymnastics?!) that Piper threw at him and he just stuck his tongue out at her which made her even more angry.
Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, let's get down to it!
Then everyone got into it dodging and blocking the balls with their own.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Katie started to walk slowly with the ball blasting it to other people and not getting hit by just walking. Damn, she looked like a goddess who just knocked Travis to the floor.
And if the lights are all out
I'll follow your bus downtown
See who's hangin' out...
Katie started to gain run and shot crazily getting Leo out.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
Allison threw it directly at Conner's side while Conner just screamed at the ball like a girl which made us all laugh
Hit Me With Your Best Shot! (Hit Me With Your Best Shot!)
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya' (Hit Me With Your Best Shot!)
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
One way or another, I'm gonna find ya'
I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya'
I got hit by Percy and now I joined the other girls.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
(One way or another)
Thalia hit Percy so he stood out with the rest of the loser boys that dare come between us.
Fire Away!
(I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya')
Fire Away!
(I'm gonna get ya', get ya', get ya', get ya')
Now it was just Thalia and Jason circling each other and finally Thalia threw the ball right in Jason's face and he fell back.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
"WOOOO!" The girls shouted
"and you!" I said pointing towards the boys' chest "Are bringing us to italianes!"
The boys groaned "Fine, lets go!" Jason gave up
"Hold it right there boys!" Piper shouted "You are not going to a fancy place like that." Piper pointed towards the smelly and sweaty boys "I've got you covered." Piper had a devilish smile on her face, something is up.
The boys came out of their rooms and we were greeted by our night and shinning armour. They were all so dazzling. But unlike them, we didn't drool. Once they walked into the room they started drooling. I walked up to Percy and pecked him on the lips and he seemed more in the trance. I completely forgot that people were there and I looked at them blushing. They all stared at me and Percy- well mostly me because I could actually speak - and I just shrugged and said "Surpise?" Although, it did sound like a question.
Suddenly all the boys got out of their trance, including Percy, and Conner shouted "HAH! You owe as all 10 bucks!" Travis and Conner started jumping up and down while 9 people started to pay up. Everyone started to mumble underneath their breaths, probably curses.
"Wait, you bet on us?" I asked
"Doh! I told these dimwits," Conner got slapped on his arm by the two girls next to him "I mean, amazing fun caring people that you guys would end up as a couple within a month, and tada! I was correct." Conner did jazz hands and everyone looked at him disbelievingly.
"IM GOING TO KILL YOU CONNER!" I shouted.
"Well, as much as I like to see that," Percy winked at me which made everyone to fake gag "We have to get going."
"Whatever, lets go." Allison mumbled. Everyone agreed and walked into their cars that they came here with, so it was me Percy and Nico.
Once we reached we were greeted by the doorman who opened it for us and did a bow. We said our thanks and nodded our head and went into the italian restaurant and had a reservation for a private room. Once we entered, it was beautiful. The chandelier was in the middle of the dinning table, it was with a beautiful white cloth that draped on the table like a willow tree, there was dimmed lights and candles. Beautiful.
A lady then walked up to us she had black hair with teal tips at the end and her hair was wavey and the sides of her hair was tied back still flowing out. She had a black jacket and a grey top on with some white boots and white skinny jeans. When she walked over she caught Nico's eyes and they were just staring at each other.
I decided to break the silence and said "Hello."
That got her out of her trance from staring at Nico "Hello, I am Victoria and I will be your server for tonight, how may I help you?" Now she was looking everywhere but Nico with a light tint of pink.
I looked over at Percy and he was too busy drooling at the food pictures on the menu. I kicked his leg from under the table and his head immediately shot up, looked around, and looked at me. He had an annoyed face because I was disturbing him from looking at his 'true love' and raised an eyebrow. I pointed towards Victoria under the table and he looked at her. I slapped his leg and eyed him that said 'don't-look-you-idiot!' he nodded. Than his eyes widen once he saw the blush on Victoria's and Nico's faces. He looked at me again and then his eyes got even wider and he mouther 'OOOOOHHHHHH!' like he finally got it. I faced palmed myself. Maybe he is too dense for his own good?
After everyone had their orders I announced "Me and Percy will be back." Everyone eyed us and Percy was still looking at the pictures waiting for the food to arrive. I nudged his elbow and he shot up "Right?"
"Yep yep yep yep" And I pulled him but before we could escape the room Leo said "Be safe!" And a wink. I looked back and gave him a fake sweet smile and said "You too!" Then I pointed to Thalia. Their eyes widen and everyone stared at him with confusion.
I pulled Percy outside and said "Do you think thats her?"
"Yea! She kinda pre-"
"Shut up!" He laughed and kissed me for a second.
"How we going to do this?" He asked
I smirked and told him the plan.
After I was done explaining we walked back even more happy then Conner smiled at us and said "Had fun you too? Remember protection!" Allison nudged him on the side and they fell laughing while I was blushing, Percy didn't hear it because he was too busy with the food that had just arrived.
Soon after we finished Victoria came up to us again "All done?" Everyone nodded.
I looked at Percy and he nodded. I nodded back. Activate plan Get-Victoria-And-Nico-Together has set its position! Percy decided to go first and he said "Stolls, Valdez, Grace, Rodriguez come with me." They all shrugged and the boys went out.
Percy explained the plan and now it was my turn "Katie, Allison, Thalia, Clairese, McLean come with me." They all nodded and we met the boys outside "Have you told them?" Percy nodded. I turned towards the girls and explained. Everyone nodded.
"So what do we do first?" Chris asked
I smiled at them and narrowed my eyes on the stage "Stolls lights, Valdez and Rodriguez take the DJ booth and both Graces make sure they pay attention. Girls, we sing. Percy I suspect you will be filming." Percy nodded
Then Thalia spoke up "Just hope our dads don't see this, well at least mine, they don't really like us dating non-famous people who can get us popularity."
I smirked at her "I got that covered." I went back into the restaurant and shouted "OH MY GOSH! ZAC EFRON IS NAKED OUTSIDE!" Then suddenly all the girls got up then I sighed and tried for the boys "OH MY GOSH MILA KUNIS!" Then they went as fast as lightning. Everyone looked at me in shock and I just shrugged. Figures, people can be really perverted these days.
"Well then.. Lets do this!" Clairese shouted.
"Ya' know this also counts as practice for today!" Everyone shouted 'yay's' and such. Everyone went to their stations. The boys were all set up and gave us a thumbs up. I looked over at Thalia and Jason and we nodded all together. They just smiled and Jason came out with Victoria from the kitchen and he sat her down on one of the chairs in front of us. Shortly after, Thalia came with Nico from the private room and she sat him down next to Victoria. They both blushed, aww cute! I nodded to Percy, he locked all doors and turned on the camera. Percy then nodded towards the Stolls and they dimmed the lights.
'NOBODY by Selena Gomez' (A/N I CUT OF A BIT SO IT WONT BE TOO LONG)
BOLD - ANNABETH
PIPER - ITALICS
The girls were at the back dancing slowly to the beat
No heart, no hands, no skin, no touch
Can get me there, nowhere enough
To love me like you do, to love me like you do
The girls slowly danced around us and taking big steps and dragging their toes really slowly to the song
No kiss, no lips, no feel, no rush
Can keep me high, I swear no one
Can love me like you do, can love me like you do, oh
We could see Nico and Victoria's faces and they looked so flushed, it was cute. Then the lights dimmed even more only to have the spotlight on them.
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's gonna love me like you do
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's ever loved me to the truth
Like you, ooh
The beat started to get a bit faster and the spotlight was still on them. Victoria had already taken of her apron and now the girls was doing the waltz for fun slowly following the beat
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, nobody ooh
The girls returned to the position and started their routine again.
No oxygen, could barely breathe
My darkest sin, you've raised release
And it's all because of you, all because of you
Piper looked at me then winked. And started to walk the other direction. When I started to sing she looked over her shoulder and winked at the two people and they were flushed. I could see Percy trying to take the perfect video in the background. Piper turned back and started walking around them.
I don't know what it is, but you've pulled me in
No one compares, could ever begin
To love me like you do
Hmm I wouldn't want them to
Cause…
The girls started to walk to them, dancing.
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's gonna love me like you do
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's ever loved me to the truth
Like you, ooh
I don't want nothing else
Not when I've had the best
Then we started to walk back on stage.
I don't want nothing else
Cause you showed me the best
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's gonna love me like you do
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's ever loved me to the truth
Like you, ooh
Then the song ended and the room was dead silent watching the two. Then they did something unexpected
