"Nice to meet you, Annabeth Chase, there now we're not strangers, let's go!" I was going to retort again but he grabbed my hand and dragged towards the Ice cream parlour.
When we arrived there, there were a lot of people. Most of the girls turned to look at Luke. Who wouldn't anyway, He's freaking handsome. Some we're mumbling if I was his girlfriend (I wish). But some others just thought I was his maid because I was too ugly to be his girlfriend. I took my hand off his, and rub them together. He turned towards me when we arrived at the counter.
"What flavour do you want?"
"Umm…. Mint with chocolate chips?" He smiled and ordered. He gave me a big cone with flavour that I wanted. We sat by the entrance of the shop, and ate our ice cream.
"Thanks" I said looking at the floor while licking my ice cream.
He then placed his hand on my head then ruffled it. "No big deal, besides thank you for coming with me. At least I'm not a Loner anymore"
"Actually I didn't come with you, you dragged me here"
He laughed at my statement. "Thanks anyway. I really needed someone and have ice cream, so I won't feel down"
"Were you waiting for your girlfriend?" I asked curiously.
"Nope" he said with the emphasis of the 'p'. "I wish she was, I've been asking her out for almost a year now"
"Not to be rude or anything but 1 year and she hasn't answered you? Why?
"I don't know, maybe I'm too ugly"
"Ugly? Seriously? Ha I bet you could be compared to the gods of Olympus with your handsomeness!" I quickly put my hand in my mouth. This is the second time I've been embarrassed towards him.
"Really? You think I'm handsome" He neared his face at me. I could feel heat rise up at my face. "How about, I court you instead of her?" My eyes widened at what he said. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He got nearer and nearer then, BOOGSH! "Back off!" I pushed him away from me. And instinctively aimed my pepper spray at him, he was sitting at floor, his ice cream melting at the floor.
"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down! I was just kidding! I didn't know I would bring such reaction to you" He stood up and dusted off his pants. "Aww man, such a waste of good ice cream" then he turned to me. Sorry for the panic, I caused also…" he snatched my pepper spray from my hands. "What's this? Pepper spray? Hahaha! What is this for?"
"It's my protection from perverts! Give it back!" I said trying to reach it and grab it.
"First of all, I'm not a pervert and secondly this thing exists. Hahaha! This is my first time encountering a girl that uses pepper spray"
I'm getting annoyed at him by the minute. First, he drags me here even though we barely know each other. Then he teases me to no end. And finally makes fun of me, just because I'm ugly doesn't he could pick on me. I glared at him then turned my back at him, walking away.
"Hey Annie, wait up! Where are you going?"
"Don't call me Annie. And I'm going home"
"Come on, I was just kidding" he said following me, I fastened my pace. "Sorry Annie, I'm not going to do that again" I just ignored him. Finally I heard him sigh and walked away.
When I was rounding up a corner, I saw a drunken man headed my way. I turned towards Luke and saw he was walking away. I grabbed my pepper spray at my pocket then realized it was with Luke. I looked at Luke then towards the drunken man. Whatever! Gods of Olympus, help me!
In the end I chose to keep going, I was looking at the path to keep my focus on walking home.
"I did it my waaaaaay!" he sang out of tune. He was wobbling while walking then boogsh! Son of a Titan!
"Hey Miss! Why did you bump me?" He grabbed my wrist and I tried to pry it off my wrist.
"Huh? For your information, you were the one who bumped into me"
"Woot! Miss you don't have to deny that you like me that's why you bumped me. Come with me! And let's have some fun!" I pried off my arm, pushed him then ran away. But he reached my hair and tugged on it. I was going to cry but then I saw Luke behind the man. He tapped the guy at the shoulder then when the man faced him, he sprayed him at the face. He let go of my hair and Luke and I ran.
"Woo! Pepper sprays really are effective!" he said laughing, then handing over my pepper spray. "Good thing I went back to return this to you"
"Thank you for saving me"
"No big deal. I was making fun of you a while ago so now we're even" He smiled at me and I return the gesture. "Come on! Let me take you home at your place. And don't try to reject because we're not strangers anymore" I thought about it then smiled. "Fine."
I was surprised when he abruptly hide my hair behind my ear. Then He smiled. "You know you look cute when you smile"
Because of my surprise I shoved him and he just laughed. "You're weird, usually girls blush but you push. Are you an amazon?"
I wanted to comment about me the only one pushing because I know a certain person who punches guys who hit on her(Clarisse).
"Psh! Where is your car, anyway? I want to go home now" I said not staring at him. He laughed then dragged me AGAIN to his car.
I suck at updating but I'll try to continue this story.
Anyway, I so happy right now because I am now part of top ten in my country on quiz up on the category Percy Jackson. So happy!
That's all! Byee!
