No pitchforks and fire?? :D Enjoyy!!
Annabeth POV:
"What movie?" Percy stood back, looking at the long list of shows playing at the theater.
"It's up to you," I told him. "You're paying."
"What?" he cried. "Who said I was paying?!"
I laughed. "I did, Seaweed Brain. Now, decide what movie."
He gave me a small smile. "Fine. I choose movie. You buy drinks. We both pay for the movie. Deal?"
"How stupid do you think I am?" I punched him lightly on the shoulder. "We'll split the cost of everything. Let's go. Decide."
He chose a new comedy movie that had recently come out, and we went to get some snacks. As we were purchasing our food and drinks in line, Percy glanced at the girl in front of us and took a deep breath.
"Great," he muttered. "She's here."
"Who?" I asked. The girl in front of us had auburn-colored hair, and she was wearing tight jeans and a pink shirt. She was that kind of girl? Great. "Do you know her?"
"Yeah. Yeah. I know her alright," Percy replied.
"We don't have to eat, and wait in line, you know," I suggested. "I'm not super hungry."
Percy smiled at me, and his sea-green eyes sparkled in the lights of the theater. "Thanks, Annabeth, but I'm fine. She probably won't notice us."
And just then, she turned around . . . . and noticed us. Her dark brown eyes lit up.
"Percy?" she exclaimed. "Hey!"
"Hi, Olivia," Percy tried to smile at her.
"I can't believe you're here! That's so great!" she glanced at me and gave me a small smile. "You're . . . . . Annabeth, right?"
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Percy looking alarmed. "How do you know my name?" I asked Olivia.
Her eyes widened. "Oh, well, um . . Percy mentioned you once at school. A few weeks ago, actually."
A few weeks? He knew about this girl, who was obviously into him, for a few weeks? And he didn't tell me?
"Which movie are you guys here to watch?" Olivia asked.
"Um . . ." Percy stalled. "That comedy one that came out a few weeks ago."
"Ooh, really?" Olivia smiled. She smiled too much, I thought with great disgust. "I'm watching that too!"
"Really?" I asked through my gritted teeth. "What a coincidence!"
If Olivia though this was sarcasm, she didn't show it. Instead she laughed, which made me dislike her even more.
"I know, right?" Olivia replied. "Hey, why don't we watch it together? You guys can wait here, I'll be right back!" And she skipped away.
Percy let out a huge breath and frowned. "This is great. Just great."
"How do you know her, exactly?" I asked. He looked up at me, and his face turned a light shade of red.
"Um . . . well, today she forced me into being her lab partner," he said. I forced a smile, but I felt. . . a little hurt. . . and . . . scared?
"And. .?" I pushed him further. I wanted to know more about how he knew this girl.
"And that's it," he shrugged.
"Do you like her?" I asked. I wanted to know if he liked her like that. Just to tease him, I guess, and I was expecting a no.
"Well. . ." Percy blushed and stuffed his hands into his pockets. My mouth dropped and my heart squeezed in my chest.
"You're actually THINKING about it?" I yelled. "That wasn't even a question? I knew I couldn't trust you, Percy. You're NO different than ANY other STUPID Seaweed Brain! Of COUSE you would like OLIVIA. She's pretty, rich, and smart. What was I thinking, being with you? I KNEW this would happen sooner or later!"
Percy looked confused. . and a bit hurt, but I didn't care. I turned and started to stomp away. "Annabeth!" he called after me.
I turned back and shouted over my shoulder. "Shut up, Percy. We're done. . if we had even started."
And with that, I left the theater, leaving Percy and my heart behind.
