Chapter Five - Skype Calls
Annabeth's POV:
I just relaxed on the weekend. It was a bit dull but I had a lot on my mind. I was thinking about Percy. My 'crush' on him was small but it was growing. I wondered what he thought of me.
Just as I was lying on my bed in a sundress lazily reading a book, my laptop buzzed. It was a Skype call, from Percy! A message came up:
Accept call from SeawedBra1n3?
I accepted. "Hey Wise Girl!" Percy said grinning. He was sitting in blue room, it was nicely decorated. He was wearing a cute collared T-shirt that matched his eyes.
"Hi Seaweed Brain," I replied giggling. He wiggled his eyebrows at me. "So what's up?" "Not much just enjoying a lazy weekend," I said gesturing at the sunlight and my bed. "The weather is great today!" Said Percy. I said, "Yeah I know right! So what have you been up to?"
Percy said, "Nothing much, I just lazed around my house. I played catch with my little bro." I replied, "You have a little brother? Me too! They're twins, Matt and Bobby, they're 8." My brother's name is Tyson," said Percy. I thought for a second, "My brothers have a friend named Tyson now that I think about," "Really? I'm pretty sure Ty mentioned a Matt and Bobby too. That's so cool now our brothers are friends!" said Percy. I said with a smile, "Yeah we should hang out with them sometime."
Someone began calling Percy's name. Before long a lady with long wavy brown hair walked into the room. She said, "Percy please come and help me," before glancing at the screen and smiling at me. "You must be Annabeth! Percy told me lot about you. I'm Sally, Percy's mum," said Sally. My cheeks went as red as tomatoes. I said, "Hi Mrs. Jack-," "Please Mum!" exclaimed Percy. "I'll come and help you right away," "Okay," replied Mrs. Jackson with a sly smile. "Sorry Annabeth, I have to go now. I'll see you at school, bye!" said Percy. I said, "Bye Percy it was nice talking to you."
I hung up. I looked down at the book I was reading. It was called 'A Little Love Song' by Michelle Magorian. It was about a girl finding her first true love, maybe I'm going through the same thing. I collapsed on my bed smiling.
Feeling excited I skipped down the stairs into the kitchen. I decided to help Helen with dinner. She was making Thai Green Curry, one of my favourite dishes. I asked, "Hi Helen, can I help you make dinner?" Helen replied "Sure Annabeth," with a smile. So I helped Helen cut up vegetables and chicken, humming a song to myself. When dinner was ready we sat down eat. The curry was served with rice. "Yum, this is delicious!" I said to Helen. The boys nodded vigorously, their moths still full of food. "You seem happy today," said my dad. "That boy seems to have done you some good," "DAD!" I cried for the second time this weekend. "Please drop it, we aren't even dating," I said blushing. "Yes Frederick give the girl a break for once," said Helen to my father. "Fine I'll lay off," said my father with a wry smile. After dinner I fall off to sleep almost straight away after a quick shower.
