Chapter 2
Annabeth Chase
I pushed Percy out and slammed the door behind me. He just asked me out. I grinned. Was it that hard to ask me out? He was obviously nervous. I laughed and blushed at the thought that he would be nervous around me. He was so cute sometimes, he didn't even realize it. I tucked the blonde hair out of my ears and sat down, staring at my reflection on the mirror. With my tangled blonde hair, and some dirt on my face, I looked like a wreck. I sighed and stared at myself. I didn't even know how to fix myself. Oh gods, what am I gonna do?
Suddenly, a brilliant idea came to my head. I rushed over to the Aphrodite cabin.
After I told Silena my situation, she gave me the brightest smile in the world. I almost hid my eyes behind my hands. After all these years of bickering me about my hair and trying so desperately to put make-up on me, I finally gave her the chance to do whatever she wanted.
"As long as you don't suffocate me with that perfume," I groaned.
"Oh, Annabeth! You're gonna love it! Percy's gonna be head-over-heels about you!" She shrieked in delight and I just rolled my eyes and tried to hide my red cheeks. I did secretly like the head-over-heels thing…
After an hour or so, she was done with me. I stare at the mirror, in awe. I looked like myself- but.. prettier. My face was transformed in a way that made my eyes look sparkling and my face was so flawless. My skin was shining and my hair was lush and smooth, curling down on one side of my chest. I was wearing a beautiful blue dress, and I had tiny sparkiling owl earings on. I have to admit, Silena did an amzing job. Silena smiled stupidly and screamed.
"Annabeth! You're gorgeous! Girls, look at this!" A flock of Aphrodite girls swooned over me, shrieking in delight as they saw me.
"Silena! She's totally amazing!" shouted one of the Aphrodite girls.
"She looks like a model!"
"Annabeth, you look stunning!"
"Ah! I wish I were as pretty as you!"
"You're so beautiful, darling!"
"I wish I had hair like yours!"
"Your eyes are so sparkly! I can't get enough of it!"
"Percy will totally die because of how amazing you look!"
They shrieked and shot me compliment after compliment. I just rolled my eyes and pretended I wasn't interested. I couldn't help but smile to myself. That stupid Seaweed Brain finally asked me out. I wonder where he was planning to take me out to. He texted me earlier, telling me to dress up fancy. Maybe it was that fancy steakhouse that he told me about. Oh, gods, I'm definitely gonna kill him if he's stupid enough to go to McDonald's. Then, again, he's Percy. You never know, right?
Suddenly, the Aphrodite cabin went dead silent. I turned around to see what was wrong. Then, I saw Percy. He was dressed in a white suit and tie with his hair neatly combed back, unlike his usual messed up black hair that always hanged over his forehead. His sea green eyes met mine and my face felt hot. He, too, was blushing, but we didn't break our stare. His mouth was gaped open and he was staring at me in complete awe.
"Aw, don't you two look cute!" one girl shouted at the back of the room. They all giggled while Percy and I blushed harder. Silena laughed and pushed us out of the cabin.
"Have fun, you two!" She smiled mischievously at me and closed the door shut.
Percy was still staring at me, with his mouth still open.
"What?" I asked.
"Uh.. You look… Um.. Well- uh- you look beautiful. I mean, well… Yeah that's what I meant.. That you look pretty… Yeah. Uh.. I should shut up now," he stuttered horribly.
I threw my head back and laughed. He's such a seaweed brain! Seriously, he can't even talk to me straight! Oh, Percy. He smiled sheepishly at me, and I blushed. We started walking to his car.
"You, er, look nice too," I said. He grinned.
"Thanks. You know I look pretty hot," he winked.
I rolled my eyes. "You wish!"
He rolled his eyes back at me and put his hand on my shoulder. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
To be continued tomorrow… Sorry it wasn't long! I'm kinda tired and this contraption is hurting my eyes .
