   A/N: This is an AU story

 It was a usual Summer day, I went to work, got seven dumb blonde jokes in a six hour shift and was living off five hours of sleep and two cups of coffee.  I was EXHAUSTED, but Piper had to go home early and no one else was here, so I had to close the store.  It was 4:55 and we close at 5 so I assumed there would be no other costumers, so I start to put all the traded books on the shelf.  I don't know why but I started to singing Journey.  It felt so relaxing to just let go and sing after a stressful day.

"A singer in a smoky room, The smell of wine and cheap perfume-''

Then I hear a male's voice "For a smile, they can share the night.  it goes on and on and on" 

I ended up judo flipping him.  Only once he was on the ground did I realize that he was only a costumer and he'd most likely have a few bruises.

"OW! Do you treat all your costumers that?" he said as he was getting up.  It was when he was getting up when I got a good look at him.  He had this unruly black hair that probably refused to be tamed and these sea green eyes that I could get lost in.  be professional Annabeth! I thought He's a costumer!

''Oh my Gosh! I'm so sorry!'' I said, praying the security cameras didn't catch that

''No, it's my fault, I didn't mean to scare you.  It's good that you can stand up for yourself like that."  he said "Anyway,I couldn't help but sing, Don't Stop Belivin' is one of my favorite songs.  I know you guys close in like five minutes-''

''Four to be exact'' I mumbled checking my watch, a little annoyed I'd most likely be here later then my shift 

''-But I really need a book for my sisters birthday tomorrow. do you have any recommendations?" 

"well how old is she?''

''She's twelve? Maybe thirteen?'' he said rather unsure of himself

"Wait, you don't know your own sister's age?''  I said trying to hold in a laugh

''I know she's in middle school''

''Okay that's a start.  What books does she like to read?"

''I don't know''

''Well have you checked her GoodReads?''

''GoodReads?''

I sighed ''Never mind.  Well when in doubt stick to the classic's.  I'd recommend Harry Potter,  The Selection, oh or Percy Jackson!''  (A/N: See what I did there?  Not amused? Ok, back to the story)

''Huh, that dude has the same name as I do.''

''Percy Jackson?''

''Yeah.''

''Well can I call Seaweed Brain then?''

"What?"

"Never mind. Here" I said, passing him two copies of The Lighting Thief "Take one for your sister and one for you.  The second ones on me, for judo flipping you and all,"

"Really?"

"Yeah."

I hope he didn't notice but I took a little extra time to scribble my name and number in his copy.  I hope he sees it! 


A/N:  hey fellow demigods!  Thanks for reading!  This story maybe a little OCC for Annabeth, but I had a whole lotta fun writing it! I'm thinking about doing a part two where they go to a Rick Riordan event. What do you think? leave comments for other stories I should write.  But I will not write about one of them dying or them breaking up.  It's too sad :(:(:(!  Have a great day!!!
