Annabeth
I was so nervous. I kept on tapping my foot and I could tell it was annoying Calypso but Rachel as always seems unfazed and continued to draw on her bare nails with a rainbow felt pen.
Calypso said "don't worry Annabeth, hazel and piper will not mess up" and as an after thought she added "hopefully" I gave her a glare and she shrugged and said "im just trying to help"
I snapped "please don't" i know shouldn't be so rude but piper and hazel are killing my patients.
My brain gave me a vivid image. In that image I was a doctor and piper and hazel were literally killing my patients who oddly enough was drew.
The thought was so weird that I almost laughed out loud.
And then I noticed them. They seemed to be deep in a conversation. Hazel was telling piper something while she just waved it off. I checked my watch it was 5: 30 those idiots were 15 minutes late.
I said "finally the prodigal daughters return!" they avoided me and continued chatting {read: arguing}. hazel said "it was odd" piper replied "no it was not. it was perfect" i said "would you guys mind telling us what happened?"
hazel said "everything went according to plan" and gave glare to piper and continued "except miss drama queen here over acted her role of the dumb popular person no. 2"
piper said "hey! im dumb popular no.1 and that was an oscar winning performance" and calypso just snorted.
piper replied "im a natural and it was too easy to step into drew's shoes" and i said "it coudn't have been that hard" and all of us burst out laughing. hazel said "luke was convinced but i think percy knows that we were not coincidentally there"
i just nodded and said "are they friends again?" piper said "i think so and by the way i think you will be getting a call from them soon"
just as she finished her sentence my phone rang. it was percy and luke. i feigned surprise and asked them to come here.
*********
when they came to the cafe, luke was surprised that i was not alone and percy just smirked and said "i knew it" they both sat down and percy said "so, i guess you know what we're about to say"
piper smugly said "yup" and percy gave her a smile and said "nice acting by the way. you were pretending to be drew right?"
she exasperatedly said "finally someone here who appreciates fine arts like i do" and everybody except luke sniggered.
luke said "so im guessing you guys planned all of this to get us together " and looked at piper and said "as FRIENDS" percy said " duh!" and took a sip of his blue soda and continued "although next time just give me a heads up"
luke said "i do appreciate the sentiment but next time why dont you leave it to me. i dont like to be played"
Piper sniggered and whispered to me "remember that it might just bw useful in the future"
My eyes widened and i quickly said "yeah, ok. why dont i make it up to you?"
i do feel bad for luke. nobody likes to be played the least i can do is make it up to him.
he said "how?" i looked at percy and i could see that he was wearing the same playful smirk. we locked eyes and said at the same time "sightseeing!"
**********
the rest of us looked at u like we we're crazy or something. except piper that is she looked at us like she was predicting that we would be a couple or something. weird.
I brushed aside their skeptical looks and said "come on guys! It'll be fun" Rachel said "yeah no. I'm busy" I scrunched up my nose and said "I never said when"
she lost interest in the conversation and said "I have uh some shit to do"
I almost laughed at her phrasing. I tuned to Calypso and said "so what about you?" She asked "when are we going?"
"How about now" I said. She sighed and said "sorry I'm busy" I turned to piper and she said "im in. Can we call the guys as well?"
I rolled my eyes at her and mouthed "Jason, huh?" And wiggled my eyebrows at her. She gestured me to shut up by kicking my foot. I think I kinda deserved it.
Fortunately percy said "the guys won't be able to come. Grey have practice." I said "its just us then. Ok let's go"
After all of us sat in the car percy said "where to, milady?" Andi chuckled at the old joke and said "China Town, chauffeur"
*********
China Town is one of my favorite place in San Francisco. It is always crowded and filled with laughter. There is atleast one lantern in China Town. It looks even more prettier during the night time than in the day.
When we entered we were welcomed by the majestic dragon which beathered fire through it nostrils. I gave the dragon a little pat on its head and walked towards the nearby stall near the Sing Chong Building which is known for its Chinese architecture.
Near the Sing Chong Building was my favorite restaurant in all of China Town- the jade wolf. Its Chinese cuisine is just amazing though I don't think we would have enough time have a meal here, there is still a lot more to do.
No China Town experience is complete without a fortune cookie.
I bought 4 cookies and gave one to each of us. I opened mine first and I instinctively scrunched my nose. Percy tried to peep into mine and said "what does it say?"
I read aloud "the asshole guy you have a crush on hates you. Move on gurl. " I added "I think this is yours piper " and all of us started to laugh and piper just fake scowled.
Percy opened his and said "your love life is gonna get fucked up" he chuckled and added "more than it already has? Good to know" and gestured luke to open his.
Luke opened it and read "your huge ass secret is about to be revealed" and percy said "do you think that the big secret is that you like miraculous ladybug?" And fake gasped.
Luke smirked and said "isn't that your huge secret?" and he also fake gasped. Piper mouthed "omg! They're actually friends!!!! I can't believe my plan worked. I'm a genius"
Instead of returning her comment I gestured to her unopened fortune cookie and said "its your turn to open the cookies, piper"
She said "nope, after seeing your crappy predictions im afraid to open mine"
At that moment a girl with pretty brown hair came out of the jade wolf and looked around for a while and after spotting us, came towards us.
She paled at the sight of your opened fortune cookies and said "nooo, I cant believe I have to make another batch. This is like the third freaking batch that I baked!"
I started "excuse me......" and she realized we were there and said "oh im sorry, you must be really confused right now. Its just that me and my friends make batches of cookies with funny fortunes and I being the clutz that I am gave you guys the that batch. That why the fortunes are a little....."
I said "weird?"
Luke said "inappropriate?"
Percy said "eerily specific?"
The girl said "yeah, sorta all of the above" and her features morphed into one of recognition and she said "luke? I can't believe you're here!"
