This chapter is both short and terrible, just a heads up!


Percy's Pov:

It's been about 2 days since I kissed Annabeth. We both had our own stuff going on over the weekend so we didn't see each other. Tomorrow is Monday; it's also the day I ask Annabeth Chase out on a date. I'm both nervous and excited. I mean I think she likes me. She DID kiss me back, but I can't help but wonder if she does like me or not. I guess we'll just have to find out.

Annabeth's POV:

I walked into the school doors and yawned. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I kept thinking about Percy. He kissed me which means he must like me right? I don't know. Hopefully he'll ask me out soon. The bell rang and I headed to my first period class. I have Percy, Thalia and Nico in this class with me. We never really pay attention we just goof around with each other. Today was no different, which made the class period fly by. The bell rang and I said goodbye to my friends and heading towards PE. I'm in pretty good shape so this class is easy for me. After I got dressed in the uniform I headed into the gym. The gym teacher told us to get in groups of three for basketball. I didn't have any friends in this class so I didn't have a group to go to. I looked around and noticed a girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes and boy with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes standing next to each other. I haven't seen them before; they must be new. I walked up to them.

"Hey…. I don't have a group. Can I join yours?"

The girl nodded and the boy said,

"Sure! We're new. My name is Dylan and this is Kaylin."

"I'm Annabeth! Welcome to Goode!"

We sat on the sidelines watching the current teams playing. Kaylin looked at me.

"You can call me Kay if you want."

"Alright!

We shared a smile then it was our turn. We got into positions.


"Man we kicked butt!"

Dylan, Kaylin and I did pretty well at three on three basketball. Kaylin and I started laughing and Dylan fist pumped. He was still pretty excited about how well we did.

"Hey since you guys are new do you want me to show you around the town after school? There's a bakery not too far with the best cupcakes ever!"

"Sure!"

"Yea sounds fun."

"Alright perfect meet me by the front doors after school and we'll go!"

We all agreed and went our separate ways.

It was the last class of the day. Percy, Thalia, Nico and I were all in math waiting for the final bell to ring. Thalia and Nico started talking about some creepy goth book they read. Percy turned to me.

"Hey….Um I want to ask you something."

I tried to contain my excitement. Was he going to ask me out?

"Ok what is it?"

"Um…would you wa-"

"Hey Annabeth wanna come over after school?"

"I uh can't Thals sorry. Maybe tommorrow?"

"Sure but why can't you?"

"I'm hanging out with some friends."

"Oh… ok?"

"So Percy what were you saying?"

"Ok I wanted to know if you-"

"Hey Perce! Mom just texted me and said you need to do the dishes when you get home."

"Uh yea tell her I said ok."

Percy sighed and tried to ask me again but the bell rang. Really universe? We got up and headed for the door. I said bye to my friends then headed for the front doors. I could see Kaylin and Dylan there. Before I could reach them I heard my name being called. I turned around and saw Percy running towards me.

"Annabeth! I still need to ask you something!"

"Ok what is it?"

"Will you go ou-"

"Annabeth! C'mon let's go! Dylan's stomach won't shut up!"

"Uh ok one sec!"

Percy looked over my shoulder then looked back at me. He sighed.

"Just go and have fun. I'll ask some other time."

"If you're going to ask me what I hope you are…. my answer is yes."

A grin formed on his face.

"Really?"

"Really, really."

"Ok I'll talk to later about when and where."

"Alright I gotta go though so I'll talk to you later."

I stood on my toes and kissed his cheek. I gave him a wave and turned around and stood by Kaylin and Dylan.

"Who's the guy?"

"If everything goes well…..He'll be my guy."
