Percy can sing but better
Annabeth had wanted to join this extra theatre club that in school. She didn't want to go alone though, so I came along. The club would hold a musical just before the christmas holidays every year, 6 shows- 3 in the morning, 3 in the evening. Today was selection day.
Annabeth stood next to me, nervously fiddling with her mic. I was fiddling with riptide, as usual, but I was nervous too. We were backstage and I checked my mic once more to see if it was off. I walked over to Annabeth and held her hand. Her hand was a LOT warmer than mine - as usual- and she teased my about it. I laughed and just then, a crying body came running toward me. I stepped aside and the boy ran in between Annabeth and I ( whoa, correct grammer?) with his hands on his face. How was he able to go out of the studio? his hands were over his eyes! he couldn't see anything!
"Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson"
A deep voice cut though my thoughts and as soon as I realized it was one of the judges (the drama teachers were the judges). His tone sounded familiar....
I squeezed Annabeth's hand and let it go. She looked at me, scared, for a second and then her face formed a blank expression and we went onstage.
"What high school musical song are you acting out for us today?" My eyes widened and I realized where I had herd that tone before! Why, it was Severus Snape, from "Harry Potter". One week, Annabeth was busy with architecture, I found old copys of Harry Potter, translated into greek, in her cabin. Somehow, I managed to read all the books and watch all the movies (with an occasional monster fight) all in one week, along with all my activities and dutys (haha doody). It payed off and now all I can think of is how people look, sound or act like Harry Potter characters. I thought of all that in one second, wow.
"We will be acting out the song played at the end of the musical, when Troy and Gabriella are singing together on stage after the basketball match and science tournament, "Breaking Free"
The drama teacher who spoke to us raised his eyebrow. "And you will mirror the events that take place, such as the singing and the nevousness played by Gabriella?"
"Yes" I answered, standing a little straighter
"And, if you get selected, You will have no problem dyeing your hair with non-permanent dye?"
"No" Annabeth and I answered together.
The drama teacher looked at us for a minute, then said, "Alright, show us what u've got"
The lights dimmed, it was dark but se could still see each other. A second later, A spotlight fell on us.
I took a deep breath and sang.
We finished, breathing heavily. I looked at the judges nervously. They looked at us in shock for a few seconds. I fiddled with my mic and looked at Annabeth. She was fiddling with her hair.
"Y-your in"
My heart leaped and Annabeth jumped on me elated. I guess you could say she
'nods his head so sunglasses fall infront of his eyes'
Jumped with exitement.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA haha ha..ha......ha.
ha
you know because.... nevermind
The musical was great. Surprisingly, The rest of the seven and Nico + Will came to see the musical. They realized that we were the leads by Jason. As soon as he realized we were the leads, he whispered it to Piper, who whispered it to Leo, who whispered it to Hazel, who whispered it to Frank, who whispered it to- I think you get it.
They were very excited after the show and immediately came to see us.
Needless to say, there were hugs
DA END
To say they were awed was an understatement.
We got the part!
