Annabeth P.O.V
I was walking with Percy when I saw the couple. It was a girl and a boy, they weren't holding hands, and they weren't in each other's space. They just seemed close and good friends. I smiled because they reminded me of Percy and I. "Can we sit on they bench for a bit" Percy nodded so we just sat next to each other for the next hour. Talking about things, until we ran out and just sat in a contented silence.
I don't quite know how long we were sat there but it was dark when the boy and girl returned. "Sophie? Can I ask you something?" She grinned and made the same remark I would have "yeah, but you just did ask one" The boy gave her a light shove before turning serious again. "I need girl help" Sophie seemed a little annoyed but she gestured for him to carry on. "I want to ask a girl out" "Can I ask who it is monkey man?" They had pet names, sweet. "Ummmm…. well, she's really pretty. She makes me laugh. I wish I could work with her in all my lessons and I love being with her" At this point Sophie looked as if she were about to cry. "Just ask her, I guess we wont see so much of each other then? Bye Daren" She turned and walked off. "Sophie, you're my best friend, my favourite person and I'd trust you with my life, you're the girl I'd like to ask out". He bit his lip. Sophie turned back to face him and kissed him on the lips. They took hold of each other's hands and walked away together.
Percy P.O.V
I had watched the whole performance with Sophie and Darren; I think Aphrodite had planted that to happen in front of use. They reminded me of Annabeth and I.
I could never tell Annabeth how I felt and I thought she would laugh at me.
When I woke up I remembered that I was going to tell Annabeth everything!
I quickly got changed and text her to say meet me outside my house and dress nicely and dressy. I had to drag on a shirt and neat jeans before I could try to tame my hair.
In half an hour I was ready. I had gift in my pocket and had heard the door ring. I answered to find Annabeth in her normal jeans and top. "I guess neat and dressy didn't agree with you" She laughed and walked into my room. "I dint know what you meant by dressy so I brought two and you say which one" She lifted up skinny jeans and a spangly top and a blue dress. "Dress." When she came out she looked amazing.
Annabeth P.O.V
This better be good. I had to get Selina to hide in Percy bathroom to help me get ready. Although she did good, I looked gorgeous. Percy gasped when he saw me. "Keep your gob shut and tell me where we're going." He shook his head and walked out. I hoped for his sake that we would get there soon for his sake. I was going to get annoyed if I didn't know where we were going. It would be trouble.
