@abchase has sent @perseusj a message

 

annabeth: I swear to all things Godly, I am never speaking to my stepmother again after graduation. 

annabeth: If she comments on my hair one more time, I may end up on the news. And not for a good reason. 

 

percy: let me at her

percy: please i’m begging

 

annabeth: We’re at the store looking for a dress for my graduation and she keeps saying “Is there any way you’re gonna wear your hair straight that day?” NO. THERE IS NOT. 

 

percy: ??????

percy: i’ve literally never seen you with straight hair

 

annabeth: Yeah. I hate straightening it. 

 

percy: how are you wearing your hair for graduation?

 

annabeth: It’s a surprise. I’m getting it done on saturday. 

 

percy: i’m excited to see it

 

annabeth: It needs to be done. I’ve had it natural for a few months now, and I love my natural hair, but it is a crisis at the moment. 

annabeth: hair.jpg 

 

percy: are you wearing makeup?

percy: i mean it looks great, you always look perfect to me, but i haven’t seen you wear makeup like that in a long time 

 

annabeth: It looks terrible, I know. Kim did it. 

 

percy: it doesn’t look terrible, you look beautiful always. i’m convinced you could pull literally anything off. but you also look uncomfortable

 

annabeth: Because I am. 

 

percy: i’m sorry my love

percy: is there anything i can do

 

annabeth: I don’t think so. I wish I was doing this shopping with you. 

 

percy: me too. although i don’t think i’d be very helpful, i think you are the hottest girl alive in everything you wear

 

annabeth: Shut up. 

 

percy: i do!!!

percy: you should buy something where your tattoo shows just to piss her off

 

annabeth: She won’t let me. I tried. And she’s paying for the dress. 

 

percy: what :( i love your tattoo

 

annabeth: That’s because of what it says. And for the record, I love yours too. 

 

percy: i would hope so

percy: paul still doesn’t know what it says, but he did say “i hope it’s not annabeth’s name. you know those tattoos are bad luck”

percy: and it’s not!

percy: just your nickname. in greek. 

 

annabeth: Dad and Kim cornered me about it the day after we got them. I told them it says wisdom. 

 

percy: it basically says the exact opposite of that babe

 

annabeth: Kim’s hounding me to get off my phone. 

 

percy: tell kim she can go fuck herself

 

annabeth: Wish I could. 

 

percy: you totally can 

percy: just probably wouldn’t end well for u

percy: you could take her in a fight tho

percy: annabeth?

percy: baby where’d you go :(

percy: the wicked witch of the west is gonna catch these hands at your graduation i swear to god

Notes:

hope you enjoyed :)

annabeth: Wait what’s going on?

 

percy: i don’t even think u wanna know

percy: my mom just handed estelle off to paul i think shit’s about to get real

percy: i’m pretty sure my mom likes you more than she likes me with the way she’s talking about you right now

 

annabeth: I’m so upset that I’m missing this. 

 

percy: nah you have to be the most perfect beautiful valedictorian ever, you’ve got more important things to do :)
