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 26
ANNABETH'S P.O.V.
Okay, so I auditioned. A huge relief. It's like, the feeling, I mean, it's like the weight of the world had just been taken away from my shoulders again. Though, I was actually exaggerating there. Maybe some of you won't get it….
Anyway, Percy forgot to ask me what my problem was. And that was another huge relief. Though, I guess I'll tell him sooner or later. But now is now, so I don't have to worry.
"Annabeth eat your cereal."Helen said. "OR else you'll be late."
I rolled my eyes. "Helen, it's still," I looked at the clock. "7:20. And there is a lot of time for me to go there, because the school bell is still at 8:15."
"Still."
"Okay, fine."
"Thank you." I said and ate my cereal. When I finished my cereal, I went to go to school. I walked for approximately 15 or so minutes, and got there at the time of 7: 47. Lots of people were already there and knew I saw Macy, but when I was about to go to her, ginger colored hair flashed and standing right in front of me was the one and only Jessica.
"Hi, Annabeth!" she greeted me in a very cheerful voice.
"Umm.. hey." I said, going to my locker. And as I predicted, she followed.
"So, are you exited?" she asked.
"About what?" I stopped in front of my locker and opened it.
"You, know about the play." She said, speaking to me like I was a five year old. Gods, I hate it when people do that to me! Instead of glaring at her, I glared at my locker, seething on its existence. I didn't want to glare at Jessica, so I didn't. For Percy of course. I still don't fully trust her. I don't know why though. She seems really nice.
"I don't know." I said, taking my notebook out and closing my locker. I face Jessica. "I'm sort of nervous, you know?"
"No, I don't." she said, honestly. To be honest, I was taken by surprise. Most people would say 'Yeah' or 'I guess' or even 'Of course!' and some people would even give advices. But Jessica….
"So, I'm guessing you're used to this?" I said, walking to wherever.
"Umm.. I guess?" she said, unsurely.
"Okaaayyyy…" I said. I decided to go to Percy's locker, wondering if he was already there. When we got there, I saw Percy looking down at his phone, his back against some lockers. His locker was still open, but he didn't mind it. "Percy?.."
He looked up, shutting his phone and putting it back in his pocket. Okay, there is definitely something wrong here.
"Annabeth." He said, a little shocked. He turned his head. "Jessica." He greeted.
"Hey, Percy!" Jessica said, wonderfully. Percy smiled at her then turned to me, who was at the time, eyeing his pocket where his phone was.
"Annabeth! You wanna go to the auditorium now?" he asked, walking up to me. He leaned down and kissed me. I tried for a smile.
*Cough*
I looked at Jessica. She was smiling a smile that didn't reach her eye and her cheeks had a tint of pink. She laughed. "Guys, I think you shouldn't show PDA at school. People are really malicious when they want to be." She teased. Percy carelessly shrugged and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. That moment the bell rang.
"Well, that's the warning bell. We better get going." Percy said. "We'll see you later, Jessica!"
"Yeah, see you." I agreed.
"Okay, bye!" she shouted as she went to the other hall way while Percy and I went to the opposite direction to the main hall.
When we got to the auditorium, all of them were there already, along with the drama and art club. We spotted Kyle and Zach sitting next to each other, talking like they were old buds, which came to a surprise for both of us.
"What the Hades?" I heard Percy mumble. His tone was more questioning, but I could hear some sort of hurt betrayal in it. Rolling my eyes, I took Percy's hand and dragged him to where Zach and Kyle were sitting.
"Uh, hey, guys.." I said, looking at them in some sort of way.
"Yeah," Percy said. "Hey, guys." He said it with a tone and he was mostly looking at Zach with a raised eyebrow.
"Uh, hey, Annabeth." Kyle said. "Percy."
"Kyle."
Kyle turned to me. "Want to sit with us?"
I looked at Percy. He sighed. I turned back to Kyle. "Yeah, sure!" So, I sat down next to Percy, who sat down next to Zach, who was sitting down next Kyle.
"Hey, Perce." Zach greeted Percy. He turned his head to look at him.
"'Sup." He said, making me roll my eyes. I bent over to look at Zach.
"Don't worry, Zach." I said, smiling. "He's just a big softy. He'll get over you for an hour. He's acting. Literally."
Percy scoffed. I smiled at him and gave him a peck before turning my head to Mr. Greene, who was trying to get our attention. Percy shifted f4rom his seat, so now, he was really close to me. as in, no space. We were cuddling. Though, I really don't mind…
I focused on Mr. Greene again, since he was going to announce what the play is and who the players are. I didn't know that it will change the way I looked at the play.
xxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxxXXXXxxxx
"I cannot! Believe this!" I said, err… shouted. We (Percy and I) were in his bedroom. We got to leave earlier than others, since we were picked and stuff. Anyway, when we found out what we were playing, almost everyone in the auditorium protested. I mean, why would they choose a play so cliché? I guess I just can't believe that they haven't done that yet.
"Hey, I think it's a good idea." Percy said. "I mean, we finally get to do this. Like all of the other schools have done this ages ago. The school drama club must be ecstatic about this."
I sighed. "Fine, but really? Your school haven't done this yet? Wow." I calmed down, because Percy did have a point. Besides, the play wasn't my problem; the casting was.
~~~~~ flashback ~~~~~
"—play is….. Romeo and Juliet." Mr. Greene said, smiling.
"What?!" Alice screeched.
"Why now? Why now? Why now?" Kyle mumbled again and again.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Zach said.
"Wait, so we're going to build a like something patio?!" A brunette from the art club said. I believe his name was Keipher Loncz.
"That is so cool!" someone said from the drama club.
"That is outrageous!" Percy shouted beside me, which made me jump in my seat.
Everyone was on strike.
"People! Students! Calm Down!" Mr. Greene shouted. "Or else I'm going to put you back to your classes!" slowly, the noise turned down. Mr. Greene smiled. "Thank you. So, this year we decided to do this play since, well, we haven't yet. And blah blah blah blah…" but there was no 'blah''s.
The rest of the day was just Mr. Greene talking and explaining to us what we're going to do. He also told us a summary of the 'legendary' Romeo and Juliet. He talked and talked for hours. And finally, at the end of the umm.. 'session', he told us where the list of the casting is; the back of the curtains. He told us to wait after the meeting so we can focus on the last reminders. When he got out of the auditorium, all of us, even the drama and art club, went behind stage.
"Where is it?!" Alice impatiently said. "I really need to go."
"Yeah, Alice, we want to go, too, so it would be really great if you'd just help us find it." Zach said, causing Alice to glare at him.
"I found it! It's here, guys!" a girl from the art club, I think, Daphne, was her name, said.
We went to where she was and saw the list. Alice pushed through us to see what her role was.
"What the F***!" Alice shouted. "Look at this! I'm a maid. A maid. Can you guys believe this?!"
"Yeah, we can, now scooch!" Brian, form the drama club said.
"Fine. I need to go anyway. URGGH! I can't believe I'm a maid." Alice said/mumbled, geeting out of the way and out of the auditorium.
"So glad she's out." Someone said.
Brian took a look and smiled. "I'm Benvolio!"
"Oooh! What am I?" Keipher asked. He took a look at the list. "I'm Abram. Who the hell is 'Abram'?!"
"Hey, why don't you give us some look at it, huh?" Jake said. The drama club mumbled a grudged 'sorry' and went out of Jake's way.
"I'm Tybalt!" Jake said.
"No wonder." I mumbled. A girl from the drama club giggled, probably getting my joke. Kyle took a long look with a frown, his eyes scanning for something in the list.
"I play Lawrence. Friar Lawrence." He mumbled, sadly. It confused me since Friar Lawrence was actually has an important part of the play. It confused me more when he excused himself as he walked out of the auditorium. I wanted to go after him and ask what's wrong, but I didn't because it was Percy's turn to look. And I think we all know what role he got.
"Great." Percy said. "I am Romeo." He said that monotonously, but he scrunched his eyebrows when he got a closer look and frowned. He turned to me. "I'm Romeo."
"Yes. Congrats." I said, smiling. "What's wrong?"
"I'm Romeo. And you're not my Juliet." He said, frowning.
"Oh." I said. "It's okay. Smile Romeo, I'm fine." I said, trying to cheer him up.
"Okay… It's just," he sighed. "I don't want anyone else to be my Juliet." I smiled. I was going to say 'aww' when…
"Aawwww…."
I didn't notice that the art and drama club was looking at us. cue the blush. I looked at them, smiling awkwardly. I did a slight nod.
"Yeah- sorry." A girl from the art club said. I smiled at her.
"Cool! I'm Mercutio." Zach shouted, bringing all of our eyes to him. He was smiling like an idiot and was looking at Percy. "Sweet, we're still compadres, amigo!"
"Nice!" Percy said, doing a high-five. Zach's smile went upside down when he looked at me.
"Sorry for your role. I am, too." He said. I raised an eyebrow. He leaned down and whispered. "I'd rather you for Juliet than *shiver* her."
"What?" I asked, completely curious and a little bit annoyed. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh, well.." he gestured for the list, which was being looked and cheered at by the drama club. I looked at Percy and saw he was looking down.
"Excuse me.." I said to the people crowding the list. When I got there I tried looking for my name, scanning the list.
