Chapter 1: Startled Beyond Proportion
Annabeth Chase
Beep beep beep. I relunctantly opened my eyes and pressed the off button on my alarm clock. I placed my palms over my eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them. I rolled over and sat up in my bed, I slowly got up and walked to my bathroom. Note This: I designed my house and I live in California (Just a heads up).
I looked in my full length mirror and scowled at my reflection, I had horrible bed head. I walked to my shower and turned the water on, as I was waiting for the water to heat up I turned on the radio. I heard a womans voice come on, she was talking about the hottest new movie in theaters: Cheating Life. I was familar with the title; I knew it was about a 21 year old man who was a total player when he meets an innocent girl that he can't seem to let go of. I was even more familar with the main actor, Percy Jackon, Americas Bad Boy.
Now he was extremelly good looking and could get just about any girl he wanted. He has been in more than 15 movies, every single one of them was amazing. He was one of my favorite actors, well I actually hated him but I loved his characters. I admired his body also, he was muscular yet not too huge.
I stepped into my shower and let the hot water wash over me, I relaxed bit by bit. "-special guest, please welcome...Percy Jackson!" the woman on the radio said.
I straightened up as I heard her say this and waited anxiously for three seconds before his voice came on; "Was'sup San Fransisco!"
"Hey, Percy! How have you been?"
"I've been great, Rachel. Tonight is the premiere of Cheating Life, it's gonna be very interesting to see how fans react to it."
"Now it's been rumored that there will be a near naked scene in it, care to back that statement?"
"The rumors are true, there is a near nude scene of me. I know all you ladies out there will be disappointed because it doesn't show any of my, ahem, private areas.
"Excuse me for asking but what will you be doing tonight?" Rachel asked.
"Well with any luck, you." he laughed.
"You naughty boy, you," Rachel teased. "But seriously, will you be attending your premiere?"
"Sounds like I got a stalker on my case."
"Sounds like I got a question dodger on mine."
"Well played, Dare. But this isn't over."
"Actually, it is. The hour's up, tune in tomorow morning, Percy might just join us again then too. If he wakes up on time, that is."
"Hey, I made it for the end that's better than nothing," he protested.
"Thanks again, San Francisco and we'll be seeing you tommorow at 6!"
"No promises on my part," Percy added.
I got out of the shower as the ending music played, and dryed off. After hearing about the movie some more, I decided I would be attending the premiere also. I got dressed in a rush after realizing I was gonna be late if I didn't hurry. I hurried out of the house and jumped in my car, I drove to my favorite coffee shop, The Brown Bean. It wasn't the best name but I loved there coffee, I thought it was better than Starbucks.
I walked in and smiled brightly at the guy behind the counter, Grover Underwood. "Hey, Grov!" I called out to him.
"What's up?" he asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh, nothing. Just about dying from lust. Guess who's movie premiere I'm going to see tonight."
"Hmmm, could it be Percy Jackson's?" he asked sarcastically.
"Sure is." I laughed.
Grover and I have gone to every movie premiere of Percy Jacksons since I was, like, 7. It was kinda mean but we might have made fun of them a couple times. You can call it tradition but, hey, what are you gonna do?
"What time should we go?" Grover asked.
I gave him my classic well-aren't-we-out-of-it-today look. "Lets see, it's a premiere so I was thinking we should arrive arround midnight."
"Oh, haha, right."
I ordered my favorite drink, Chai Latte, and sat down in one of the booths. I pulled out my current assignment, I was designing an ego friendly house for Leonardo Dicarprio. I quickly began fixing a near perfect angle, I didn't settle for near perfect. I heard the bell ring that meant someone walked into the shop also, I didn't bother to look up.
I heard footsteps coming up close behind me, and froze. Call me paranoid but I had a feeling something was about to go down and I wouldn't like it. "What are you working on?" An all too familar voice asked me.
I forced myself to remain calm as I said, "Blueprints."
"Coo," he said.
I sighed in relief as he walked away, only to return a minute later coffee in hand. "Sitting here, cool with you?" he asked, not waiting for a reply before sitting.
I still hadn't looked at him yet, I couldn't believe it was actually happening. "Actually, I'm a little busy at the moment..." I stated suggestively.
He slid a hand over my papers and grabbed them, I gritted my teeth as he looked them over. I was thankful that he held them so that they covered his face. "What's up with the grass on the roof? You supporting cows up there? Yee-haw!!!"
I snatched the papers back and said a bit angrily, "First of all, not my house. Secondly, it's good for the enviroment, there will be no cows up there. And thirdly, why the hell would you say yeeh-haw? I am NOT a cowboy."
I finally looked at him and-woah! He was even better looking in person, his eyes captured mine and it took everything I had to tear them away; they were an amazing green color that I had never seen before. I instead focused on his unruly black locks, he had even worse bed head then me but it worked magnificantly on him.
"Percy Jackson," I said wisely.
He grinned a sneaky smile. "Yeah, but don't go screaming my name, you could lose an arm and a leg when a bunch of girls come running."
"Why would I scream your name? All you are is a conceited jerk who cares for only himself, and a little FYI, you should probably get yourself checked. An STD can be a real bitch."
I stood up, gathering my stuff, and walked to the counter, "I'll see you later Grover. The ego in this room got way too high for me." I said.
"Later, Annabeth." he said.
"Wait!" Percy Jackson called.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot to say bye to you too. See ya later, attention whore!"
With that being said, I walked out the door. I had just met famous movie star, Percy Jackson. And I called him an attention whore. I was startled by the thought, startled beyond proportion.
