The next day Annabeth got invited to a party. She was trapped, if she went Percy would be their, and she would have to talk to him about "them". If she didn't go Percy might think she didn't like him. Honestly why did Percy affect everything she did? Annabeth sighed, she would be going. Nothing would stop her. Except for Piper.
" So are you-" Annabeth started.
" Yes I'm going to the party tonight, and yes we are going shopping," Piper stated.
" I didn't agree on the shopping!" Annabeth said.
" Well you do now, come on!" Piper said.
Annabeth sighed, but went with Piper. They walked to the back of the Aphrodite mall, were they entered a boutique. Piper grabbed lots of dresses and shoved Annabeth into a dressing room. The first dress she tried on was a short crimson cocktail dress. Annabeth got a heart attach from the dresses shortness. She opened the door a smudge, only to shake her head at Piper. The next dress was long and gorgeous. It was a lavender two piece gown that was gorgeous. Annabeth walked out of the dressing room and Piper gasped. Annabeth blushed, she would buy it.
As she made it to the checkout she remembered her lack of money.
" Sorry ma'am, but you can't pay for this dress," the cashier said. Annabeth sighed, as she went to put the dress back. Before she could Piper stepped in. The cashiers face turned white with fear as he saw her.
" You are going to give her this dress for free. You didn't forget what happened last time, Jeff?" Piper said sweetly and scary. Jeff shivered and gave Annabeth the dress. Annabeth and Piper both flashed him a scary smile, and made their way out.
Annabeth smiled at Piper.
" How did you do that?" Annabeth asked.
" Long story, let's just say that being a child of Aphrodite gets you a lot," Piper said. Annabeth laughed, she couldn't wait for the party.
Piper and Annabeth walked into the dorm where the party took place. Annabeth had become friends with a girl named Thalia, who was hosting the party. Annabeth and Thalia were both rebellious, strong and adventurous.
" Hey Pipes, hey Annabeth," Thalia yelled over to them.
" Hey,"
"Hey,"
Piper and Annabeth said to her.
The music started playing and Piper disappeared into the crowd. Annabeth melted into the people dancing, and relaxed. Percy walked towards her and looked into her eyes. Grey met sea green again.
" Hey," Percy said.
" Hey," Annabeth replied.
" So I was wondering, do you want to go get pizza after the party?" Perct asked her.
" No," Annabeth said. Percy frowned.
" Why?" he asked her. Annabeth smiled.
" Let's go now!" Annabeth said. They left the dormroom. Percy grabbed her hand, and they left.
