I knew I was a goner the moment she walked into the restaurant.
She was absolutely beautiful, with her honey blonde curls cascading over her shoulders, her perfect white smile, and a gorgeous tan that was set on her amazing figure.
It was this nameless angel's eyes, though, that really got me.
They were an intense, unnatural, yet captivating gray. They showed a level of maturity that made the girl look like she had experienced a lot in her life- too much, maybe. They were also very expressive, and right now, they shone with happiness and love.
My heart nearly stopped when she started walking in my direction, and my hands flew as I fixed my hair and smoothed down my shirt- only to be completely and utterly disappointed when she walked right past my booth. I turned my head, just to find her arriving at a table where only one other person was sitting, some tall guy about my age with a lean yet muscular build, messy black hair, and weird green eyes. I hated to admit it, but he was good-looking, yet he seemed very familiar. Actually, now that I thought about it, the mysterious blonde beauty seemed familiar as well...
I quickly dismissed the thought, though, and my curiosity was replaced by anger and jealousy when the boy got up and- get this- kissed the girl.
"Somebody's jealous..." I quickly turned my head away and glared at Tom, one of the guys that was sitting in the booth with me.
"Me-jealous- what, no.. Why-," I spluttered, and quickly composed myself. "Naw, man, I just thought that the guy looked familiar."
"You don't recognize him?" asked Jeremy. I shook my head no. "Dude, that's Percy Jackson. Remember? Seventh grade?"
I almost choked, and looked behind me again. No. Freaking. Way. How had I not seen it before? His weird eye color was a dead giveaway!
And the girl! She was the girl from the picture! Sure, she had been pretty, but now? Damn.
I looked back at my friends. "There is no way Jackson could have nailed a chick like that."
I don't know how, but somehow, Percy had managed to hear us. He looked up, and his face changed from confused to recognition in a matter of nanoseconds.
"Matt Sloan? Is that you?" he asked, with a surprised expression on his face.
"The one and only," I shot back, smirking when I noticed that his girlfriend (ugh, why?) was looking at me. Probably checking me out.
"Man, it's been so long..." Percy mused. Angel Girl looked between the both of us, then punched his arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" he pouted.
"Aren't you gonna introduce me?" she asked in a melodic voice.
"Huh? What? Oh-oh yeah. Sorry, Wise Girl. Um, Annabeth, that's Matt, Tom, and Jeremy. Guys, this-" he wrapped his arm around her shoulder"-is my girlfriend, Annabeth."
"Pleasure to meet you, Annabeth," I said, trying to be on my most gentleman-like behavior for her.
"Same," she answered, then turned to face Percy. "Did you remember to buy your mom's birthday present?"
"Gods, I completely forgot!"
Annabeth sighed, then muttered something about seaweed and brains and the hero of Olympus and hell hounds. Whatever that meant.
"Sorry guys, but we gotta cut this reunion short!" said Percy, and he and Annabeth slid out of their chairs and started walking towards the exit. "See you guys later!"
The last thing I heard was angelic Annabeth's voice.
"We didn't even get to order..."
And that's my first story!
Review, please?
