Spotlight - A Percabeth Fanfiction

Percy's POV:

I had an arm to my face. I was desperately bored. I had texted anyone and everyone. Everyone except her. Annabeth Chase. She seemed strict, but my boredom quickly overcame my fear. I texted her, only when I did it, had I instantly regretted it. She did leave her wallet here, but I was just planning to give it to the director for him to give it to her.

I looked at my phone again. An hour passed since we texted. I watched some movies, but I couldn't focus. My phone rang, saving me from another train of thoughts. Rachel, it read. "Hey, Percy!" Her voice rang in my ears.

"Hey, Rach. What's up?"

"I know that we just met, but I really wanna get to know you. Cafe Solare, Saturday, around 3:00? Is that okay?"

"Uhh...yeah. I'm free."

"Oh my gods! See you on Saturday!"

"Yeah, see you!"

"Bye!"

"Bye." I said, as she hung up. I pulled out my phone and called Ace. "I have something to do on Saturday, 3:00PM." He and I talked about my schedule for a few minutes, and I eventually hung up. I was still super bored. I didn't know what to do. Guess I'm going to sleep early.

I woke up feeling tired. I didn't know what it was, but these days I just don't feel like getting up. I wal over to the other side of the room and something catches my eye. My guitar from high school, covered in dust. I can't remember the last time I ever played it. I picked it up and strummed a few chords. Music came to me easily, I don't know why I ever stopped playing. I guess I just did.

I closed my eyes and let the music carry me. I remembered the song last night and played it. I didn't know how I knew how to play it, my hands just moved by themselves. By the end of the song,  was in a daze, only the music existed. The melody wrapped around me, the beat engraved in my mind. I placed the guitar down, and got up. I better get going if I don't want to be late for my scheduled today.

We drive for my interview at Aphrodite's. Ace gives me the run down; don't be rude, exaggerate, but not too much, don't give possible comments that result to backlash, watch your facial expressions, and be discreet about your relationships. It went a little like this:

A= So, how are you?

P= I'm doing absolutely wonderful, you?

A= Fantastic! Are you in any relationships lately?

P= Not that I know of.

A= Nothing new. Anyways, a popular question of our viewers; Annabeth or Rachel?

P= I..they're both great women. I haven't really talked to Annabeth, but she seems really nice, and from what I hear, she's outstanding and the goddess of show biz. Rachel and I are friends. I haven't known her for long, but she's a really friendly person. They're both inspiring role models.

A= Oh, isn't that great. No straight answer. That means no beef today, guys!

We wrapped up quickly. I had all my other scheduled events, nothing seemed exciting today. I opened my phone, and my eyes widened in shock. An online was with the flying hashtags #perachel and #percabeth.
