This Is America

5-annabeth/Juniper

I woke up, phone rang, I reached for my phone and opened it sleepily

It turns out to be a voicemail from some unknown number, "who is this?" I asked the sender.

"Just play it"they replied.

So I played it.

"Climbing out the backdoor, didn't leave a mark, no one knows it's you miss Jackson"

Hm, interesting, I thought to myself.

Juniper's POV

So I sent the voice mail to annabeth, you can clearly see her feelings for him, so I decide to tease her about it, luckily, Thalia, Percy's cousin, have her number.

IOU three scoops at Baskin - I texted.

U bet - she replied.

I put my phone in my pocket when someone knocked, "it's not locked"I said, "ready for our walk?"percy asked.

"Yep, is Leo coming?"I ask, getting out of my room.

"Yeah, he texted me, not sure about Annie though".

"Ask her then"

"Why can't you do it?"

"Because. . .I just met her?"

"Well it's a good way to get to know her" Percy replied.

"God, your bickering annoys me, I'll do it" Leo said, shoving pass us.

"YO ANNABETH, WAKE UP, WANNA HANG?"he screamed at her door.

She opened it, clad with a dinosaur onesie, a black bunny slipper, and a rather messy hair. "Why hast thou woke me up this early?".

"Why hast thou became so posh?"I asked.

She stared at me, analizing what I just said.

Uh oh, I said as she made her way towards me.

"I like this chick, she got your sass Perce"she said, looking up to Percy.

"Thanks, I guess?" I said.

"Be right back, gotta get dressed properly"she said, slamming the door.

Silence filled the air.

"How did she know about my sass?"Percy asked, breaking the ice.

"Well, for one, your sass is literally radiating everytime you breath, second, I talk to her"Leo answered.

"What?" Percy asked.

"Yep, I do"Leo answered.

"Like. . .talk about what?"

"Schools and shits, sometimes she spills tea, and I love tea"Leo answered.

"Let's go"annabeth said, coming out of her room.

"Where are we going?" She asked, as we made our way to the elevator.

"Well, we're going to Las ventas bullring"Percy said.

"Bullshit!"annabeth exclaimed.

"Exactly"I said.

"Who pays?"annabeth asked. She was wearing an orange crop top that shows a little bit of skin and distressed denim short that hugs her bottom parts, her hair was in a ponytail but she let two strands of hair down to frame her face, she wore purple converse and a red and black Casio watch.

"My parents agreed to pay"I said.

"Wait"she froze, making me bump into her and making us fall.

"A warning would be appreciated" I said, helping her up.

"Have you tell Mr Finnigan we're going?"she asked.

"Yea" Leo said.

"Okay then"she said, getting in the elevator.

"Hold the door please!"a guy said with a very thick french accent.

"Merci Madame"he said, thanking me for holding it.

After a while, I said something to break the ice. "bonjour Monsieur. . .?"

"Gavreau, Marc Gavreau,et les tiens sont?"

"Juniper, juniper Babinski" I said.

"What are you guys talking about? And since when do you speak French?"asked Percy.

"We're exchanging names, and since I travel"I answered.

"Where are you guys going?"Marc asked.

"Las ventas bullrings"

"What a coincidence, I am going there as well"

"Why are you going there?"

"It's a good place to visit, I am also traveling"he said.

"Do you know how much it cost?"

"I'm sorry, I don't speak English much, what do that mean?"

"Savez-vouz combien coute le Prix?"I asked.

"Non, combien?"

"11.90 euro"

"Oh ok" he said.

"I'm stressed"

"Why?"

"You're talking french with a stranger"

"He's nice"

"I'm nice"Marc added.

"Shut up"

"Ok"

"See, a good boy"I said, ruffled Marc's hair.

"Can we stay in touch? , I'm going to America in 2 months, and I need a friend"

"Sure"I said.

"Can I have your number?"he said.

I wrote my number in his notepad, I see a list of numbers and country names beside it, along with names of other people.

amis avec qui voyager, it says, friends with whom to travel, he really is a soft boi.
