Mortals Meet Percabeth

Samantha Ruewen

(See what I did there?) :_) this will be a bit different

Hi my name's Samantha and I'm exactly 7 years old and two months. Today a girl in my class named Annabeth is coming over. She's really sad and likes to play with my older brother's Lego's, she builds houses. Were not super good friends but my mom told me to make an effort...whatever that means.

"Samantha, Annabeth's here!" My mom called to me from down stairs. Here I was playing with my LPS and she comes now! I sigh and get off my bedroom floor. I go down stairs and Annabeth is there  looking at the wooden beams that are on our ceiling.

"Hey Annabeth!" I "smile at her". To be honest she's a bit weird, she has no mom and whenever anyone mentions the word family she gets teary eyed. So a lot of people stay away, but my mom being my mom invites her over to our house every two or three weeks.

" Do you want to go my room and play with my LPS?" I ask hoping she doesn't bring up Legos.

"Sure..." She looks uncomfortable every time she go as over but never says a word. I seriously hope this whole play date thing stops at the end of the school year.  I take her to my room upstairs on the left and I sit on the floor waiting for her to as well.

"Sorry, Samantha I really don't know what LPS are, oh wait is it liposuction, I like playing doctor!" I raise an eyebrow, what the heck is lip or whatever?

"Are you kidding me! How do you not know what LPS are! Its the most popular toy for kids our age!!!" I then began to into in depth detail about what LPS are.

I was almost finished explaining how the alicorn LPS is super rare when i noticed Annabeth's eyes glazing over. I directed my eyes to where she was looking and found her staring at a family portrait hanging on my wall.

All she said was seven words "what's it like having an actual family" Annabeth and i have never been the best of friends but I felt it was the right moment to give her a hug. I cautiously put my arms around her shoulders, hoping  she wont start to sob into my shirt.

"My dad doesn't really love me." Was all she said before standing up and walking towards the bathroom outside my room.

"Annabeth sweetheart...can you please come out of the bathroom?" My mom asked softly knocking on the bathroom door. We've been at it for half and hour,I was just about to give up when the door opened. Out came Annabeth. Her face splotchy from crying and her ponytail all wacky.

" I need to go home..." I saw a glint in her eyes,a plan. But I quickly excused it.

After about ten minutes I saw a silver car pull up and I knew it was Annabeth's step mom. She got out of the car and when my mom opened the door for her she blurted,

"Gosh, what did she do this time?" She sounded fed up and Annabeth scooted past her out the door to their silver car.

"Thanks again Melissa...you and I both  know she has no friends." Mrs. Chase whispered. I didn't want to hear the rude remarks so I quickly bounded up the stairs to my bedroom once again. There I saw Annabeth waiting in the car looking miserable.....
