I then looked to my friends and they were in shock. Luke's face was the one who was most in shock. He just stood there like he'd seen World War 3 happen in front of his eyes. "So... Percy just got pwned by a girl. What else is new?" Thalia said breaking the silence and making Nico laugh and Jason to make a cool guy grin while looking at Piper. I definately knew that he would try to make a move on her. Classic Jason. Sees a preety girl falls in love with her and then dumps her like yesterday's trash. But I don't know. Piper didn't look like the kind of girl who would fall for the classic "Rock Star" move. Anyway I've been wrong before. "So Luke.. Got is there any place where I can clean up before the big meeting?" I asked still drenched in hot coffee. "Yeah sure. Come on follow me man. The rest of you guys should go to the meeting. Percy and I will meet up with you guys there." He said but it wasn't like a normal suggestion he said it like an order. I guess it did make sense. Luke did have the aura of a leader.
"Ok Luke.. See you there." Frank said looking at us strangely "Come on guys. The great blonde one has given us an order." Hazel said laughing and taking Jason, Piper, Nico and Thalia to the room.
Thalia and Nico were reluctant to leave but I gave them a thumbs up and they agreed. Now that I think about it Nico I understand cause he's my bestfriend but Thalia? Thalia never tried to protect me from anything. She always left me to stuff for my own. Then I looked to Luke and I figured it out. She wasn't worried about me going alone with Luke. She was worried that I would say something embarrasing about her and ruin her chances with Luke! I gave her an evil grin before I left and her face paled. I mean more than usual. I was joking obviously I would neevr do anything to hurt her. I mean I loved her like she was my cousin and treated her like my little sister, which was weird since she was the oldest one of us all, but it was good to know that she didn't know that I loved her very much. So I left with Luke to a building inside the Senate building that was the size of an RV but with a lot of showers in the walls. "So we're here Perce. You can change there." He said pointing to a small bathroom stall. "And you can take a shower in there" He said pointing to another stall. "I'll get some clothes and wait over there." He said pointing to some seats. "Ok thanks dude" I said while walking to a stall to take my clothes off.
"So Luke.. How old are you?" I asked doing the basic little brother interrogation "Well I'm nineteen and I start college in the fall." He said "O awesome man." I said getting into the shower. I immediately felt revitalized when the water touched my skin. I never had to worry about the water being too hot or too cold it was always perfect and the only thing I had to do was turn on the water. "What about you Percy?" Luke asked "Well I'm seventeen. I'm a junior in the fall but because of the tour I go to school in the road. It may sound weird but besides Nico, Jason and Thalia you're the only person I've actually had a real conversation with. The celebrities don't count most of my 'friendships' with them were planned to make myslef more famous." I realized Luke was shocked when he didn't answer. "Wow." Luke finally answered. I turned off the shower and picked a towel and started drying myself but it didn't take that long. That's another thing when I get in the shower I'm completely wet but once I get out I get completely dry in less than 2 minutes. So I took my towel and wrapped it around my waist leaving me completely barechested.
I heard Luke whistle "Dude that's one sick six-pack." He said "O yeah. It's a rock star must have." I said laughing "Dude did you really take a shower?" Luke said "Yeah man. It's strange I get dry almost immediately once I step off the shower or the beach or a pool." Luke eyed me weirdly but then said "Ok anyway here take this. I think they fit." Luke said giving me fresh clothes. I then stepped into the stall and dressed in the ripped jeans and black hoodie that had the letters C-HB in bright orange in the middle and black nikes with the nike symbol in orange. I decided to not brush my hair and let it in its natural straight unruly jet black color. I remember once my manager tried to dye my black hair blonde just because I had sea-green eyes and I was a surfer and surfers were mostly blonde. Still I never did. 'It's a good thing I never dyed it' I thought to myself. 'It wouldve looked weird.' I reminded myself. So I finished putting my clothes on an headed out to meet with Luke.
"Ready " I said
"Great. Frank texted me that the meeting already started so we better hurry." Luke answered back "Ok awesome let's go!" I said opening the door but before I had the chance to go out the door Luke grabbed me by the arm and said "Before we leave I need to know something. What happened with Annabeth?" I knew the question would appear somewhere in the conversation I was just hoping he didn't ask it. So I told him the truth. He didn't look like the guy I would have wanted to have as an enemy. "O dude. I am so sorry for you!" He said almost peeing himself from how loud he was laughing. "Dude not funny! I was trying to impress her!"
"Haha dude you're not the first one to try! Trust me. She's my bestfriend and she's also the person who's been her longest and almost every newcomer has tried hiting on her but none hae ever succeded." I was kind of upset when he said t. I mean come on if noone ever managed to get a date with her what chance did I have! Still the man in the dream had told me otherwise. I guss I'll just have to trust him. "Hey but on the brightside." He said "No one has ever managed to make her laugh either. Besides me of course. So maybe you do have a chance. Anyway lets go!" Luke said heading out the door.
