HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY (to you USAers!)!
You have no idea how long I've been wanting to spit this chapter out. Writer's block just completely took me over again, and I'm sorry. More info at the bottom. :)
Disclaimer: Contrary to popular (my) belief, I in fact do not (not not not not not) own Percy Jackson and the Olympians (PJatO) *runs out crying*
Annabeth sat quietly in her bedroom, thinking. Just thinking. Not about anything in particular, but thinking.
And she didn't like what she was thinking.
Annabeth shook her head and turned in the radio. TB3's new song 'Hello,' sung by Thalia, was playing.
She changed the station.
This time is was a song sung by Adele. If Annabeth remembered correctly (which she always did), the song was called 'When We Were Young.' Annabeth knew the words, so she started to sing along.
"Everybody loves the things you do
From the way you talk
To the way you move
Everybody here is watching you
Cause you feel like home
You're like a dream come true
But if by chance you're here alone
Can I have a moment
Before I go?
Cause I've been by myself all night long
Hoping you're someone I used to know
You look like a movie
You sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
I was so scared to face my fears
Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
And I swear you moved overseas
That's what you said, when you left me
You still look like a movie
You still sound like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
It's hard to admit that
Everything just takes me back
To when you were there
To when you were there
And a part of me keeps holding on
Just in case it hasn't gone
I guess I still care
Do you still care?
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
My God, this reminds me
Of when we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
When we were young
Let me photograph you in this light
In case it is the last time
That we might be exactly like we were
Before we realized
We were sad of getting old
It made us restless
I'm so mad I'm getting old
It makes me reckless
It was just like a movie
It was just like a song
When we were young"
As she finished, Annabeth heard clapping in the background.
"Great song, Annie!"
"You know not to call me Annie." Annabeth growled.
"Fine, Anniebeth. Great singing!"
"Don't call me that either. And thanks." The bling girl replied. Piper dat down on the edge of Annabeth's bed, which Annabeth was laying down in.
"You should sing that song to Percy. You didn't write it, but send him a video of you singing it or something. I'll take a video of that song or a different song or something, and we can do that!" Piper suggested.
"I don't know. He could take it the wrong way. Like, as a breakup or something. I wouldn't want that. Especially since we're not even dating." Annabeth answered. Piper rolled her eyes.
"This isn't even a breakup song, Annabeth."
"So? He could still take it that way!"
"You're acting paranoid about this whole thing. Do I need to call you 'Annie' to get you to get in your right mind again? I will if I have to."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Oh, for this? I would. I totally would."
"Fine. I'll do it."
"Thank you, Annie."
"You said that you would stop!"
"Well ha, Anniebell." Piper smirked. "Now come on. Start filming that video."
"Fine, Beauty Queen." As soon as Annabeth spoke those words, Piper's nostrils flared.
"You don't get to call me that! Only Leo does!"
"And why is that?"
"Because Leo came up with the nickname!" Piper defended.
"Fine, Beauty Queen." Annabeth grinned. "But seriously, you forced me to do this. Let's get started."
Annabeth just didn't want to admit that she really wanted to see Percy's reply.
"Are you ready, girls? Silena is taking us shopping for dresses a little late, but she's paying for everything, so be happy." Piper told the girls gathered in her room. Then she added to herself "Even though I can pay for my own stuff."
A few groaned (Annabeth, Piper [who hadn't said that other thing with much excitement], and Rachel) while a few cheered (Calypso, Drew, Juniper, Silena, and everyone else with them).
"Let's go!" Silena said, sounding much more energetic. "Let's do this!"
The dresses were beautiful.
Silena bought all of theirs except for Piper's, and they headed out the door, ready to get changed, do their hair, and put makeup on ("No! Makeup is definitely unnecessary!" Annabeth groaned).
The dance, Piper thought, was going to be amazing.
Too bad it really wasn't.
Well, it was shorter than the last one.
SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER! I THOUGHT THAT I HAD POSTED THIS, SO I WENT TO GO AND CHECK IT OUT EARLIER, THEN I REALIZED THAT I HADN'T POSTED IT YET! AHH!
Then again, I highly doubt that this matters to you, considering the fact that you're reading this right now. JUST PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!
Okay, moving on. I have a new story posted (that's been posted for a while!). It's a sad one shot about Piper and Annabeth's friendship, AU. Mortals. Please R&R!
That's about it for now, really. See you next chapter (which will hopefully be posted in a shorter amount of time than this one. :/)! Remember, next chapter is the dance! :)
