THE FAKES IN GOODE AND
ANNABETH CHASE
SUMMARY: my version of 'Annabeth goes to Goode'. Annabeth goes to Goode because her step-mother got a temporary promotion and decided to tag along so she can be w/Percy. When she got there, she found out that Percy is the hottest most popular guy there. She encounters girls who are drooling for her boyfriend, and the worst is …. THEY. ARE. FAKES!
Chapter 24
ANNABETH'S P.O.V.
It's been a week since the announcement and they said that the auditions will start today. They will cast the ones who are playing who tomorrow or the day after that. I can't say I'm not nervous, because I am, believe me. And the most dangerous thing to be nervous about is that we don't even know what the play is. I know, ridiculous! But they said it's a surprise.
Anyway, I was walking around the hall, since it was recess and Percy has to go to this meeting about the swim team. I was just thinking who are the ones that is going to audition later. Maybe, Jessica will, since she was the lead last year, or maybe, Sandra and Cossette. Or maybe, Danielle will. I wonder what would happen if she auditioned. Ooh! I hope Macy auditions, though I doubt that will happen. What about-
"Chase!" Someone shouted behind me. I turned around and saw Mr. Greene, the activities director and also the one who is handling the play.
"Sir Greene? May I help you with something?" I asked.
"Well, I just came here to tell you that you should be in the auditorium for auditions later, since you still need to act." He said. What?! I still have to act? I mean, of course, but- What?!. "And Please spread the word and tell Jackson. I can't find him anywhere and even if I did, he never goes to these. I'm hoping he will this year, since you're here. Anyways, I need to go, thank you, Chase. I owe you one."
"But sir!" I said, but I was too late, since he was already gone. I frowned. He should've been the gym teacher instead. I sighed. Great. Just great.

After school….
"Hey, Annabeth!" Percy said behind me.
"Hey, Perce." I replied, giving him a quick peck on the lips.
"So, are we going to the auditorium now?" he asked.
I nodded. "MmmHmm. But first, I have to talk to someone." I said as I looked through the crowds of students.
"Umm.. well, you can talk to me!" he suggested.
I looked at him with a raised eyebrow and chuckled slightly before turning back and continuing to look for her. Damn, where is she?!
And finally I spotted her. "Macy! Macy!" I shouted, causing few glances from students I don't know. I ignored them and ran to Macy.
"Annabeth wait!" I heard Percy say behind me.
"Hey!" I said when I got to Macy. She looked at me. She didn't say anything at first, but she eventually did.
"Uh, hey, Annabeth." She said. I frowned with her lack of...energy. I wonder what happened.
"Annabeth?" Percy said behind me. Macy looked down as I turned around to talk to Percy.
"Hey, Percy would you mind if.. you know…" I cocked my head towards the direction of Macy. Percy turned his head slightly, confused. Typical…. "You know, would you please go to the auditorium first?"
"What?! And spend my time waiting for you there with all those people who I don't really care about?! No way!" he said. I sighed.
"Please? I just really want to talk to Macy. Please? I promise I'd be there as soon as possible. Please?" I said with a face that –I don't know why, but – Percy could never resist. His face softened. "Please?,….."
He grunted. "You so owe me for this, Wise Girl." He leaned down and kissed me.
I smiled. "Thank you! Now go! I'll see you later." And with that, he turned around and walked to the auditorium, grumbling about how girls are so intimidating. I turned to Macy, but she was gone. I looked around and saw her heading for the doors of Goode.
I sighed. "Macy, wait!" I said as I ran after her. Again.. "Hey! Why are you ignoring me? Did something happen? Did I do something wrong?" I asked. She looked at me, her face softer and nicer than earlier ago.
She sighed then smiled. "Sorry, I'm just really in a bad mood. I got an F in my History." She said. Lies. I knew there was something more. Was there? "So, what is it you want to talk about?"
"Well, I just wanted to know if you're going to audition for the play." I asked.
She shook her head, widely. "No no no no no. NO! and besides I really need to go."
"Please?"
"No. Annabeth! I can't do it. I'm too shy and I can't even act. I mean, I don't have talent for acting! And-"
"Neither do I!"
"Well, you got potential."
"And who said you don't." I said. "C'mon please. I need someone there. I really need a true friend with me there."
"You got Percy." She reasoned.
"Yeah, well, Percy's different. I mean, who am I going to talk to if I need some help with my costume, if I have one? I mean, 'Hey, Perce, can you please zip this for me? I can't reach it.". See? Please, Macy. I need you. I really need someone I can hang out with that's not a boy." I said. I really don't mind if I hung out with a boy, especially Percy, but I just really want Macy to be there with me.
"I don't know, Annabeth.. I really need to go now."
"Please?" I said.
"I don't have the time. I have lots of things to work on and I really don't think being on the play will make it better." She said, looking away from me.
"I'll help you with it." I suggested. She smiled. She turned back to me.
"You really won't stop will you?" she asked. I shook my head. "Well, why do you think I'd audition now when I didn't audition last year and the past years?"
"Because you won't be alone." I said. She looked at me and smiled. I returned the gesture. "And it would save a lot of time if we go now.."
She chuckled. "The persistent Annabeth Chase is back. Fine, but I need to be home at 6:00. C'mon let's go!"
I looked at her. "You're auditioning?" I said, smiling.
She shrugged. "It would save a lot of time, right. The sooner we do it, the sooner I go home. Now, C'mon! You wanted this right?"
"Of course! Let's go!" I said as I ran off to the auditorium, dragging her with me.
"Uh, Annabeth?" she said, stopping. I looked at her.
"Yeah? Why'd you stop?" I asked.
"The auditorium is that way." She said, pointing to the other hallway. I blushed. And it wasn't a normal pinkish blush; I'm pretty sure it was red. Crimson red. Macy laughed. Oh my gods, this is embarrassing. "Hey, Annabeth, it's okay. You're new here. I'll show you the way."
I smiled as she dragged me to where the auditorium was.
"You don't know how glad I am that you weren't somebody else." I said.
"I love me too." She said, making both of us laugh 'till we got to the doors of the auditorium. She opened the doors slowly. When we got in and I closed the doors, we noticed that the audition already started and there was a huge line for auditions.
"Psstt! Psst!" someone said. I looked at Macy and she shrugged. "Psstt! Annabeth!" I looked around and saw Percy near the stage, sitting with the other picked actors, but he was the farthest one from them. I signaled him to wait. He puffed and turned back to the audition.
"What now?" Macy whispered in my ear. I looked around for a bit before I had an idea.
"C'mon." I said as I walked to the table of Mr. Greene, which is in the front center, just across the stage. So, yes, the one' who were auditioning were giving us weird glances. We were able to hear more clearly, now.
"-vow 'till the end." A brunette who was auditioning said.
"Ah, thank you, Ms….. Wesley. Next!" Mr. Greene said.
"Uh, Mr. Greene?" I said, loud enough for him to hear. He looked at me. And unfortunately, everyone in the auditorium did as well.
"Ah, Chase! For a moment, I thought you weren't coming. You can take a seat next to your boyfriend. You'll try out later." He said, turning back to the auditions.
"Uh, yeah about that." I said. He looked at me as he told the one who was starti- wait was that Sandra? – Okay, it was Sandra. Anyway, he told Sandra to stop. I leaned down and whispered. "Mr. Greene, you see, I have a friend that would like to audition."
"Well, then that's good." He said. "She can go line up, now."
"Yes, but, she needs to go now. As she's really in a hurry." I said.
"Annabeth, dear, I'm sorry, but it would be unfair if I let your friend audition first. These people lined up, and they came here first. There is nothing I can do." He said. I frowned. I looked back at Macy and saw her talking to Zed and Kyle. She looked a bit more confident now. She noticed me and smiled. Great…
I turned back to Mr. Greene, who was waiting for my response. Everyone was murmuring and pointing at us.
"Sir, she's really a nice friend and I can't afford it if I got her hopes up. Sir, please we're wasting time." I said.
"I'm sorry, but-"
"Look, if you don't get her audition right now, then I would go away." I threatened. I know that was bad, but I'm going to fix this. For Macy.
"Mmmm… I'm sorry, people need a fair chance."
"Percy and I would go away." This time, he thought for a bit.
He sighed. "I can't afford losing two picked students. Fine."
"Yes, thank you."
"But" he said. "You have to talk to them." He said, pointing to the lined up students. I nooded.
"Right…"
I walked towards the line of students and decided to speak to them little by little. Like in groups. I started with the last people in the line.
There were 6 people and there was a Chinese girl, 2 brunette girls, one blonde guy, a dark haired guy, and a blonde girl.
"Hi!" I said. I think it would be better if I make friend first, right? "My name's Annabeth Chase. You guys are.."
"Martin Hall" The dark haired guy with blue eyes said. I nodded, smiling.
"Cassidy Balle" the blonde girl said.
"Rose Blue." The brunette with brown eyes said. I smiled.
"Cool name"
"Thanks."
"I'm Mei Wood" the Chinese girl said.
"Florence Terry" the brunette with green eyes said.
"I'm Terrence Balle" the blonde guy said. I nodded.
"You two are siblings?" I said gesturing to Cassidy and him. They nodded. "Great. Umm.. you see, I have this friend.."
I told them about Macy and they agreed. I continued like this, talking to groups that were in the line. I met new friends, so it wasn't really a waste of time. I met a couple named Logan and Alex. I also talked to Gabrielle and Erica, turns out they were auditioning too. I also met a girl named Elena, who lived Texas. I met Taylor, who is from a sit-com when he was a child, and I also saw Jessica. I knew she was going to audition. I met many more and believe or not all this happened in just 5 minutes. So far, everyone were nice enough to agree with me. some weren't, though, but I had some help with the guys from a group. (First time, it actually helped me) . So, yeah, everyone agreed, except for one. Yes, Sandra.
"No!" Sandra said.
"C'mon. It will be really quick." I said.
"Look. I lined up for this." She said. Damn this girl really wants to make a scene. "You may have fooled them, but" she gestured, looking at the people who I talked to. I thought she was going to say more, but she stopped. "Fine. Just make it quick. Garfield, get up here and do it as fast as you can!"
With that Macy ran up the stage and said a grudging 'thank you' to Sandra. I walked down the stage, knowing the people around me were still confused to why I did that. Though, I'm glad Macy got to audition. She looked happy.
I was also guilty, because I didn't even glanced at Macy's audition. I was only thinking why Sandra suddenly stopped arguing with me earlier. Then I remembered what Macy was hiding from me. There's a lot of questions in my mind, that time, and I'm glad that no one noticed anything. Except one Seaweed Brain, of course….
"Hey, Wise Girl, you okay?" Percy whispered from beside.
"I'll tell you sometime later." I said.
"Umm… okay…" he said.
