Thanks, everyone for the awesome reviews! Just one thing to Cutlle, you will just have to find out! (;
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO … ):
Okay, now on with the chapter!
Chapter Seven:
Annabeth's POV
I watched as Percy danced with every single girl. Even my sisters and Silena! I wish he would dance with me …
And with thought, I think I really like him …
I sighed and looked at the white rose he gave me. Did that mean he likes me too? Or is it like a welcoming present? I sighed again. I wish boys were easier to understand!
Then I felt someone sit next to me.
"What are you thinking of, dear?" mom asked. I kept staring at the rose. "Nothing," I muttered. She sighed. "Is it about a boy?" she guessed. I looked at her and nodded. "Who?" she asked. This time I didn't answer. "Is it Percy?" she whispered. I nodded my head. She got a huge smile on her face. "You like him!" she exclaimed. I smiled weakly and nodded.
Before she could say anything else, I heard someone clear their throat. "May I have this dance?" a prince asked me. "Sure," I said.
He led me to the dance floor.
AS we danced, he spoke. "I am prince Kendrick Azucena and my family reigns the west part of Canada." he said. I nodded. "You probably know who I am, but incase you don't, I am princess Annabeth Chase and my family reigns the East of the United States." I said. He leaned into me. "I know, my dear," he whispered in my ear.
"How would you like to go out with me, my princess?" he whispered. "Uh … no thanks … um … I kind of like someone else," I stuttered. "Oh come on! I'm sure he isn't anything better than me!" he exclaimed.
I glared at him. I was going to say something smart like "Nah, I think he's better" but he grabbed my hair. "You will go out with me. Or else," he threatened. "No! just please leave me alone." I said with a glare. I tried pulling away from his rip, but he was too strong.
Luckily, I heard a voice speak. "Hey, buddy. You heard the lady. GO," it said. That was when Kendrick stopped pulling on my hair. I turned, just enough to see who the person was. "Percy!" I gasped. He went to my side and Kendrick backed up.
I immediately saw the difference in their height. Percy's 5'11 figure was taller than Kendrick's 5'9 figure. I'm guessing that was why he backed away.
"GO" Percy repeated and Kendrick scrambled to leave with a scared expression.
"Are you okay?" Percy asked when prince creep of Canada was gone. I smiled a little. "Yea, I guess." I replied. As soon as I said that, a slow song came on.
Percy took my hand and stared me in the eye. "Would like to dance, milady?" he asked. A smile played on his lips. I smiled back. "I'd love that," I replied.
He then put his arms around my waist and mine went around his neck.
"Thanks for coming in when you did back there. I really needed saving!" I said.
He chuckled. "No problem. I'm always up for saving," he replied. I smiled at that.
"So did you give anyone anything yet?" I asked. He grinned. "Not that anyone knows about," he answered. I sighed. "Come on. Can you tell me? Please? I am going to find out sooner or later." I answered.
He thought for a while. "True, but waiting isn't going to hurt you," he said with a goofy grin.
I sighed again. "Fine, I'll wait." I said quietly. He chuckled lightly. "I'm sure you'll be surprised at who I picked," he said as the song ended.
Then with that, King Nicholas spoke into the mike.
"Okay, son, it's time." he said.
OOHH! Cliffy! Sorry it's short, but if I combined it with chapter eight, it would be too long. :P So anyways, thanks for the reviews everyone! I hope you keep reviewing! Love , Marcella.
