"Seriously I can't ski!! Like I don't do sports. I think, that's my thing"
"Come on it's not that hard, you switch your weight between your feet and that makes you turn. Get it?! And if you make a plow shape you stop." Percy explained it like it was the simplest thing ever, he had always been good at sports. When I first met him when we were 11 he was always running around and trying new sports, of course he was amazing at all of them.
But this skiing thing scared me. I hadn't gone skiing since I was a kid and that didn't go well.
"But I'm gonna fall" i kept on rambling. "I'm gonna fall in front of everyone and embarrass myself totally"
"Annie, it's going to be okay" his voice was soft trough the phone.
"Promise?" Ugh I sounded like a child
"I promise"
"Okay fine I'll try, but I want to sleep now"
"Yeah mee to, see ya tomorrow"
"Sleep well perce"
"You too" he turned of the call.I laid back on my bed, fuck I was really scared.Percys blue car pulled up in front of me and he rolled down the window.
"Ready for some winter sports wise girl?!!"
I glared at him.
"Yes very, seaweed brain"
He smiled and opened the door for me.
His car was hot. I said that to him but he just laughed. I wasn't too sure about this trip.We arrived at "CHB skiing" in the late evening. The resort was gigantic. There were at least 10 different slopes you could go down, some of which looked scary as hell. Our hotel had a big bar and there were multiple restaurants nearby. And there were people EVERYWHERE. It was so crowded it made anxiety shoot through me.
We got our rooms, separate ones because Percy was apparently planning on finding hot boys in the after-ski. I was fine with that, I didn't need him.
That night I fell asleep fast, so exhausted from worrying over everything.Why are skiing boots so uncomfortable?!? And why were lifts so scary?!? And why was it so hard to get forward on skis when the ground was flat?! And WHYYY was it so cold?!?!?!
We had gotten up to the beginning of the easiest slope and already I couldn't feel my feet, face or hands, had been terrified the whole lift ride and were so tired I just wanted to lay down on the cold snow. Percy flashed a stupid grin at me and I wanted to push him down.
"Let's go!!" He said.
"I really don't want to"
"You know that's the only way to get down from here" he said, looking smug.
I rolled my eyes.
"fine"I started to go down the slope. I tried to make the plowing upside down V shape that Percy talked about but it didn't really work. I started to accelerate.
"Fuck" I mumbled "fucking shit"
The slope suddenly felt very steep, and I was going really fast. A wave of panic came over me. I was going straight down at a really high speed.
"You need to zigzag!!!!" Percy screamed behind me. I tried but it didn't work. I just kept going down faster and faster.
"ANNABETH!!!!ZIGZAG!!!!" He must have screamed loudly but it sounded weak. How far behind me was he?!
I put all my weight on my left foot, trying my hardest to turn or stop. But my right ski went on top of my left and then I lost balance and suddenly I hit the snowy ground. I landed on my hip and pain shot through me. I laid on my back, the sun stinging my eyes. It was probably really stupid to just lay there. But it was so nice. I was just going to wait for Percy, he would help me."OMG FUCK, FUCK, FUUUCK!!!!" I heard a girl scream. Then, pain. And a weight on top of me. My stomach hurt from someone falling on it. It took a while for me to understand, someone had crashed into me.
"Ughh" she said. I just sighed.
Then she seemed to realise what had happen.
"Oh shit sorry" she started rambling "fuck I'm so sorry, god are you okay??"
"I'm fine but could you please stop laying on top of me?!"
"Oh yeah" she sounded flustered but at least she stood up.
I was still on the ground, looking up at her. And I couldn't stop looking.
She was looking around for one of her skis that she must have lost. A bit of brown hair stuck out from under her helmet and she had matched her outfit perfectly. Her cheeks were red against her light brown skin. It looked like she was blushing but maybe it was just the cold. The only thing I could do was stare, she looked like a goddess standing above me.
"Hey!! Shit Annabeth are you okay?!?" Percy stopped right beside the girl. I told him I was fine and he started to help me get up. The girl was still standing there, staring at me.
"I'm really really sorry, are you sure you're okay??" Her voice was sweet.
"I'm really okay and besides it was my fault. Who is stupid enough to lay down in the middle of a skiing slope"
"That's true but I'm still sorry"
"Please don't blame yourself it was my fault"
"okey yeah, I guess your right. What's your name by the way?"
"Annabeth" I said "yours?"
"Piper" and then she smiled. For some reason I felt warm inside.Yeeeaa so first chapter :))
I'm not really sure if I like it but well well
Also I have zero clue about skiing terms, especially not in English. Have a good time byeeee bishes<33
