Marcus's P.O.V.
Zoe was over helping me set up Annabeth's room. I really hoped she liked it. "So what do we know about this girl?" Zoe asked.
"That she's my cousin and she's staying with me for a while," I replied.
"Nothing else?"
"Her mom said that she doesn't know how long she'll be staying here. But hey, family is family. She'll always be welcome," I told her.
Just then I heard a knock at the door. I walked over to open it and saw a small girl, possibly only 5'3", with a beanie on and an "Okay? Okay." shirt on. "Hi, I'm Annabeth," she said. Her voice was soft, ut you could hear her fine.
"Marcus Butler," I replied, putting my hand out for her to shake. When she took my hand, I felt just how frail she was. "Well come on in. Your bedroom is down that hallway, first door on the right. Bathrrom's across from it, and well, everything else is in plain sight I guess."
"All good," she said, "I'm gonna go unpack, I'll be out in thirty." Ah, American slang.
"She seems really nice," Zoe said, "A bit pale, though. Oh! I'll run to the store and get her some makeup supplies. Then I can do a haul video and then a tutorial!"
"No! I call her being in my video first. She is my cousin after all," I argued.
"Ugh, okay. But mark my words, But-But, she will be in one of my videos."
I held my hands up in defense. "Okay, okay, deal."
Annabeth walked out about 30 minutes later, nice timing, completely redressed. "Um, you guys hungry?" she asked.
"Starving," Zoe and I said at the same time, "Hey! Stop that! Ugh."
"You guys are great," she said, "Give me 20 minutes."
"Actually, mind if I invite some friends over?" I questioned.
"How many?" she asked back.
"Maybe 10," I said.
"Make that 40" she replied.
Not too long after, Jim, Tanya, Joe, Alfie, Tyler, Joey, Sawyer, Jack, Finn, and Caspar walked in. Tyler, Joey, and Sawyer were in town for a meet and greet so I thought I'd be a good host. Well, try.
We were all talking with each other when we singing. "Who's that?" Jim asked.
"Yeah, introduce us to your girlfriend," Jack said.
"Ew, she's my cousin, dickhead," I told him while throwing a pillow his way.
"But really, she's great," Tanya said, walking in. I followed her and saw Annabeth inside putting her food onto plates for us while singing a song. I don't know what it was, but it had a lot of cursing. She didn't seem to care.
"Close your mouth, you'll catch flies," she said looking at Tan and me. "Will you boys set the table for me?"
"Of course," Caspar said, looking in.
"Not so fast," I said, cutting him off. I plled the boys together, besides Jim and Tyler, and said, "She's my cousin, off limits."
They all murmured their replies, some more dissapointed than others. We set the table and the girls brought the food out. When we were done, Sawyer said, "What was that? It was so good."
"Fried rice," she said blandly.
"What meat?" Zoe followed up.
"None, I'm a vegetarian."
"Are you kidding me, girl?" Tyler asked.
"Why would I?" she said.
"So what brings you to London?" I asked, changing the subject.
"A plane," she said, sarcastically. Everyone laughed. It was pretty funny, I'll give her that.
"But seriousy," Joey asked.
"Just something I've always wanted to do," she said.
"Well, I hope you like it," Jim said.
"Yeah, it's great. I'm going out tomorrow and blowing some cash. Maybe doing something risky. I don't know," she said, smiling mischiefly.
"Nothing illegal, right?" I said.
"Don't worry about me," she said, "I'm going to shower. I have to go somewhere later."
"Where?" Finn asked.
"A place with an address," she said. Wow, so descriptive.
"Well can you check in at least?" I asked.
"No phones allowed."
"Okay, well call me when you're done."
"Sure," she said before walking away.
"She's.. nice," Joe said.
"Sure is," I said.
