IMPORTANT AN-Okay guys I just wanted to say that the song lyrics that I post in the story have a lot to do with the story and how I pull it together. I myself skip over any song lyrics in the story not finding them important, but trust me the lyrics in here are important and really pull the story together. Also I'm going to start posting the song that I took the lyrics from if you ever want to hear the song. So if you guys didn't read the lyrics in the last chapter please go back and re-read it so you can see kind of how it comes together. Okay sorry for the rambling.
Now the moment you have all been waiting for... *drum roll* THE FIRST DATE! YAY! And to top it all off I decided to do this one in Percy's POV just to give it a shot... probably going to be one of the only chapter in his POV anyway on to the story!
I heard your a player. So let's play a game. Let's sweet talk. Let's Play fight.
Let's tell each other good morning and good night every day Let's take walks together.
Let's call each other nicknames. Let's go on dates.
Let's talk on the phone all night long. Let's hold each other. Let's kiss and hug.
And whoever falls in love first?
Loses.
Percy's POV
I cannot believe her. She was playing the game and not only that but she had the guts to actually tell me her rules. No. no. no. Definitely not. Nobody played my game except me. I was the player and every player has a game. I had played it so many times it was only nature. It would have still been nature if Annabeth hadn't come waltzing in here like she was the game and I was just a player. I wasn't just any player I am the player. I just had to treat her like another pawn. Another girl played, another game won, another pawn tossed away. That was how it worked, and that's how I had to play Annabeth to win, just like an other girl. Except that was just it. She wasn't just any other girl she was Annabeth. She was cunning and intelligent. She made up her own rules to my game and she even had me playing it. Annabeth Chase was the challenge in the game. It's like when your playing Monopoly and your winning only to find yourself bankrupt and another player has your money. Suddenly the rules change and it's like your playing a different game. She thought she could beat him at his own game. She thought she could waltz right in and make up the rules. Well this was my game and just like every other game I've played I was the player and Annabeth Chase was simply just another pawn.
-Line Break-
I drove in my Prius to the Starbucks right across from our school. I pulled into the parking lot staring at the front of the store. It was like any other Starbucks with the large glass windows, the walls painted a light tan each wall bearing the Starbucks logo. I look around Starbucks the parking lot surprisingly I was the only car there. Hmm everyone else must have somewhere to be I thought to myself. I decided to sit and wait for Annabeth simply because I didn't want to go inside as the only customer there. I sat at the steering wheel drumming a fingers on the padded leather of my arm rest. I looked down at my clothes deciding to take into consideration what I was wearing out of sheer boredom. I had on dark jeans and a dark green v-neck with a leather jacket. I also had on simple black and white converse. I started randomly flipping through radio stations letting my ADHD out of it's normal cage where it was hidden from the world just like my dyslexia. If anyone knew I had either of these my popularity would go down faster than I could say 'High School'. My eyes wandered around the inside of the store and parking lot wondering why people weren't here, when I spotted a head of blonde flirting with the coffee barrista. Annabeth. I sighed and walked inside. When I saw Annabeth flirting I felt this fiery hotness at the bottom of my stomach I waved it off as hunger and approached Annabeth. I walked up to her until I was right behind her. She still didn't notice I was there as I leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"Hey baby." I whispered my hot breath touching her neck. She swooped around sending her blonde curls flying.
"You're late." She deadpanned. I smiled sheepishly scratching my neck.
"Sorry?" She rolled her eyes. " Are you guys... you know... together?" The coffee guy asked. He looked half disappointed that Annabeth was taken and half hopeful. Annabeth gave my a questioning look. I grinned putting my arm around Annabeth's shoulder I answered.
"We are together." I took a moment to relish the shock that spread across Annabeth's face.
"So if you don't mind. My girlfriend and I would like to order." I said stressing the word girlfriend. The guy's face reddened.
"Yeah, yeah of course. What would you like?" After Annabeth and I ordered and got our drinks, which only took about 3 minuted because we were the only ones in here, Annabeth and I took a seat at a booth across from each other. As soon as we sat down Annabeth got onto me.
"What was that? What the hell were you thinking?!" She whisper yelled across the table.
"Well that guy was looking at you like you were a piece of bacon or something so I was just being gentlemanly." I said nonchalantly.
"No. I meant at school. Why were you serenading...me?" I looked at my hands nonchalantly.
"I was just playing the game..." I put my hadn down and looked her straight in the eyes whispering. "After all you should know you were the one who made it up in the first place." Annabeth looked shocked obviously not expecting my answer, I let a smirk play on my face. Annabeth glared and sipped he coffee on silence. I don't know how she did it but she didn't break her glare once the whole time we drank coffee. It was as if we were having a silent argument. Thinking that we were done here I stood up dusting imaginary dust of my hands. I walked to the trash can throwing away my empty cup. I turned on my heel.
"You can't possibly beat me at my own game Chase." I smirked. "Thanks for trying, but this is a game for the big kids only," I walked up to her and whispered in her ear. "Because you couldn't handle me." Aww yeah! Percy Jackson was on fire today! First the song now this! I was starting this game strong and I was going to end it strong too. I smirked, turning my head I prepared to walk out of Starbucks holding the victory of the day in my hand. I turned my head, but felt a pain in the back of my raven locks. I turned to find Annabeth smirking. She pulled m head down and stood on her tippy toes whispering into my ear.
"Better watch your back Jackson. Haven't you heard I run this game. You don't ever win, because when Annabeth Chase does revenge you will never forget it." And with that she turned on her heels and walked right out of the restaurant leaving me standing there with my mouth wide open in shock.
AN- To short? Maybe I'm sorry, but I'll try and update later this week. Hope you enjoyed! Review!
