Author's Note: I hope you enjoy my piece, this is only the start of the story, I will try to release the next chapter soon.
Percy glanced across the room of his History class to sneak a glimpse of her beautiful blonde locks. Percy had been in love with her since he was ten years old, but had never done anything about the affection he felt for her. Annabeth looked over her shoulder to catch Percy in the middle of his glance, causing him to quickly divert his eyes to the front of the room. He breathed a sigh of relief thinking that he hadn't been caught, Percy then heard a giggle from the direction of Annabeth, he looked over to see her with a hand over her mouth, trying to contain a laugh. Percy stared at her blankly, praying she wasn't laughing at him. His suspicions came try when Annabeth leaned over to Percy and whispered very tenderly to him.
"I saw you staring, Percy" with a cute grin on her face only making her more endearing to him.
Percy blushed and replied "I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind" keeping his voice equally as low as hers.
Annabeth giggled quietly again and resumed her proper position without answering him. That was the closest and most intimate that Percy had ever gotten to Annabeth and he was feeling a nice warm sensation in his chest. Percy's mind raced to say or do something that would get Annabeth's attention again so that he could hear her beautiful, pleasant voice again. Just when Percy was about to give up Annabeth turned around to him and swiftly placed a note on his desk.
Trying to keep calm, Percy quickly grabbed the note from the desk and started to unfold it in his lap, where it was hidden.
In Annabeth's perfect handwriting it read "If your so interested in seeing me during class, how about we do something after school?"
My heart skipped a beat, I couldn't believe my eyes, the girl I had fantasised about for the past 7 years had just asked me to do something with her after school!
I quickly scribbled back "Yes, what do you have in mind?" and passed it back to her.
After Annabeth read my reply a small smile showed on her face and she wrote down her answer. This continued until we both decided that we would meet at the Mall, I was so excited that for the rest of the day I barely paid attention to any of my classes, not that I usually do anyway.
I raced home after school, preparing myself for possibly the most important night of my life. After changing my clothes and grooming myself till I thought I looked suitable, I left for the Mall. On the walk there my mind kept on repeating the same memory over and over again making me smile.
I had looked down to read the last note Annabeth passed and it said
"You better be excited for after school, I'm going to give you a surprise"
I wonder what she could possibly have in store for me and that just made me tremble in anticipation.
