Annabeth took a deep breath. Am I actually going to do this? Would he be too oblivious to even understand? Should I leave a note? Is it worth risking our friendship? I can't back out now, there would be no other point to be getting up at this ungodly hour. She hesitantly put on her yankees cap, and shimmered into invisibility. She glanced down at her invisible body, Here I go...
She went out of the Athena cabin and quickly ran over to the Poseidon cabin. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door slowly, trying not to make it creak. Percy was sleeping still, his limp body spread all over the bunk while he drooled. She held in a snicker at the drooling boy and slowly walked over to his jeans that were on the floor (she made a mental note to make him clean his cabin) and sure enough, there was the MP3 that he had made her swear on the Styx river that she wouldn't tell Mr-D or Chiron about. She carefully and slowly slid it out, attempting not to wake him from his slumber, and tightly closed her hand around it, making it disappear into the invisibility veil.
Taking one last longing glance at the sleeping boy, she slowly went out of the cabin without waking him, and hurried back to her own cabin. Making sure her cabin mates were still sleeping, she got out her laptop and transferred the chosen songs over to his iPod. She made a playlist and shoved the four songs into it.
She grabbed a piece of college-ruled paper and wrote out a note:
Dear Seaweed Brain,
check out the new playlist. And actually listen to the lyrics, don't be an idiot and think it's a friendly gesture. Please.
Love (literally),
Wise Girl
She grabbed an envelope and slid the note in, sealed it shut and wrote Percy's name in cursive on the back. She picked back up the iPod, and slipped back out of her cabin, making sure not to wake her siblings. She went back to Cabin 3, and set the envelope and the MP3 carefully down on the end table.
She found her glance slowly moving over to Percy's sleeping body. He's so cute when he drools though. She smiled to herself before going back out of the cabin. When she shut the door, she heard movement coming from inside. A 'THUD!' was heard from the inside and an 'Oww!' She shook her head, chuckling softly at the thought of the clumsy teen.
No backing out now, Annabeth. Now you just have to hope. And if he doesn't like you back, kick his butt for breaking your heart, right?
Remembering she was still standing right in front of Cabin 3, she quickly jogged off back to her cabin. After she got back to her cabin, she fell back onto her bed, and the cap slid off her and on to the mattress, making her shimmer into existence.
Definitely can't back out now, she mentally moaned. Please don't hate me for this, Percy.
She glanced over at her laptop, reading the song titles she put on the iPod to herself for the eighth time, with growing worry started to feed in the pit of her stomach.
Meghan Trainor - Title
Sammy Sanchez - TALK
Demi Lovato - Heartattack
Ashley Tisdale - Kiss the Girl
She prayed to the gods that he'd actually understand the note and the songs… and like her back. Well, she was actually in love with him but she doubted he loved her back. Even the teensy bit of like she would of been glad to have.
Sea-green eyes, messy raven black hair, California tan, six pack, hot lopsided smile… She sighed dreamily. He's so sweet, funny, loyal, and an absolute Seaweed Brain. He's really smart, just does stupid, risky things sometimes. My kelp head, she grew a small smile. Well, he might not be mine after this, she frowned. He could not feel the same way and ask us to stay friends… or worse, hate me.
She brought her hand to her forehead, Why did I go through with this?
She bit the corner of her lip and closed her laptop, shoving it back into the chest at the end of her bed, covering up the laptop inside the chest with her clothes so nobody would find it. She slowly crawled back into her bed, covering herself up with the blanket over her shoulders. She felt a tear fall down her cheek, What did I get myself into?
And she drifted off into the world of dreamless sleep.
"Annabeth? Annabeth, wake up," a voice called.
Her eyes tightened, "No. Sleepy."
"Come on, it's important. Somebody left you a note."
Her eyes opened and stared at the blonde boy at the bottom of her bed. "Who did, Malcolm?"
"Don't know," he frowned and handed her the envelope.
She looked over the envelope carefully. It said Annabeth in cursive writing on the back, and was a plain white. She opened in carefully and pulled out a white card with red trim. It had five simple words printed inside of it.
Love you too, Wise Girl.
Helpful, constructive criticism is appreciated and loved. Normal reviews are just fine, but I'm trying to improve my writing, so... Just a one-shot, by the way. No two-shot.
To my normal readers... I know you guys love my stories, so rather than deleting or re-writing, I am just going take my time writing, and try to improve it. For example, "A Percabeth Life" needs more, longer paragraphs and more details, and Percy needs some work. He's not in-character enough, IMO. I'm going to work harder on my stories, okay? I write stories for me, I do whatever possible to make them better for you guys.
