Hey school started. It's good for the most part. Don't forget the contest or my poll.

Chapter 12- Date

Annabeth's POV

School Monday was awkward between me and Percy. I don't know where this leaves our relationship. Are we friends are more? Thaila noticed the tension between us.

"Why are you and Percy so awkward? Where did you two go off to?" Thaila asked me on the way to Archery.

"Why does it matter to you?" I don't want to tell her.

"I asked you first." Thaila said back. She must have a stupid reason.

"I asked you second." I crossed my arms over my chest. Thaila did the same. We looked each other in the eye.

"Fine, Percy and I went to his apartment because Chiron didn't want Percy in the fight. Chiron sent me because he wanted me to keep an eye on him. Now answer my question." My arms were still cross. Thaila's arms were dangling by her side.

"Answer my other question." Fine, we kissed, but I will not tell her that.

"Something happened and I'm not telling you. Go ask Percy." I will let Percy deal with the situation. It won't end well, but I will not tell her.

"I did. He would not tell me." Thaila had a small smile on her face. She has some plan going on in her mind.

"I'm still not telling you." We get to archery. We are at different stations. I am between Percy and Reyna. Reyna is Roman. She is good at archery. We start shooting.

"Did you tell Thaila anything?" I ask Percy. Percy shook his head.

"She didn't ask me anything in first period or second. Why are you asking?" Percy turns towards me.

"Thaila was asking. She said she ask you. Just don't say anything." Percy nodded and turned back around. Whenever I look up I always picture that moment we kissed. It was magical, but the magic could ruin or create a friendship.

Two weeks have passed and I haven't talked to Percy. Thaila keeps trying to get info out of me. I am not telling her anything. I am trying to forget it. I am sitting under the tree in the front.

"Is that spot taken?" I don't look up or say anything to the familiar voice. The owner of the voice sits down anyways. "Did I do anything to offend you?" I still don't do anything. My book all of a sudden closes. I look up into the sea green eyes that have been haunting me for the past two weeks. "Are you mad at me?" I open my book.

"I don't know what I'm feeling." I start reading again hoping that Percy will leave.

"It's killing me that we're not talking. I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you not know your feelings." I smile at Percy. He was being a seaweed brain.

"The thing is the kiss is making it awkward. Every time I look at you, I see us kissing. It's not the same. Even if the kiss was- you know what I'm not making sense." I shook my head. This was nonsense. Percy was still standing there. Looking down at me.

"I could make sense of what you said." He had his one-of-a-kind smirk on his face. Percy knelt down on one knee. If he is doing something that I think it is. I will tell him we are too young. "Annabeth Chase, I am nuts about you. Will you go on a date with me on Friday which is in five days? If you-"

"Yes."

"don't say yes…wait did you say yes?" I nodded my head. He smiled bigger. I smiled right back at him. We sat/kneeled there for about a minute till Percy started to talk. "I guess I'll pick you up at 7." I nodded my head. This should be fun.

"What do you mean you can't come? It's a girl's night out. We were going to go do some fun stuff. You know just us girls. With Reyna, Rachel, and some other girls. It'll be fun." I looked Piper in the eye and said no. Don't fall for it. I have my date with Percy.

"Piper I have something already planned for that night." We turned the corner to find Thaila.

"Did she say yes?" Thaila was smiling.

"I'm not going to girl's night out." We walked on. Thaila and Piper were on both my sides. They put me in the middle. I saw Selena walk up.

"Is it true?" Selena walked up saying.

"Is what true?" Piper asked. Selena turned towards Piper. We stopped walking so Selena doesn't fall.

"Is it true that Percy asked you out and you said yes?" WHAT? Who told her that? This isn't going as planned. My eyes bugged out of my head.

"W-where did you hear that?" My voice shaked a little bit. I can do this.

"One of my friends saw you two together. She listened in on your talk. Percy got down on one knee and asked you out. You said yes. Of course you knew this. Is it true?" Selena looked at me with piercing eyes. It was like she was trying to read my soul. Thaila and Piper looked at me.

"Do not make a big deal about it." I walked away. I like Percy and he likes me. That's all. Selena followed me.

"What does that suppose to mean?" I didn't reply. I kept walking. "Come on, Annabeth, just tell me. I'm not as smart as you." Flattering, but no. I turned the corner to sword practice. I had Percy in my class.

"Hey! How are you?" Percy said as I walked over. He had his sword in his right hand and waved from his left hand. He had this smile on his face.

"I'm fine. Selena asked me if I was going on a date with you. I didn't answer." Percy smiled got smaller, but still there.

"Does that mean we still have a date or not?" Percy asked worried. I smiled back at him.

"I'm still going on the date, if you remember to pick me up. I'll be at my father's house, so pick me up at there. Chiron is making me spend time with them. What type of date is it?" Percy thought about it.

"I haven't decided yet. I have a week to decide." He is impossible.

"No, Seaweed Brain, the date is tomorrow." Percy's eyes went big. We were sword fighting. He was distracted so I stabbed him in the arm. Blood went down his arm. Now Percy's eyes were looking right at his wound.

"What was that for?" Percy yelled. He looked mad.

"For forgetting our date. What should I wear?" I yelled back at him.

"Just wear regular clothes. Nothing fancy." The bell went off. I put my sword up and took off to my next class.

"Hey sweetie, why do you keep watching the time?" My dad asked. I was wearing a dark blue top. I was wearing jean shorts with my purple converse. There was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." I yelled. I ran towards the door and Percy was standing there. He was wearing a blue button down shirt. His sleeves were rolled to his elbows. He had jeans on and blue converse.

"Bye dad." I yelled. Dad came running to the door.

"Where are you going? You got here an hour ago." Dad didn't look happy.

"Should I come back later?" Percy asked.

"No." I said to Percy. I turn towards my dad. "Dad I came. I have a date to go on. I am a teen. Bye Dad." I turn and leave. Percy takes my hand and we walked hand and hand. Our fingers intertwined. He walked over to a Prius.

"Where did you get the car? You are under aged." Percy laugh.

"It's Paul's car. I have a permit." We got in the car. I was in shot gun and Percy was in the driver's seat. "I'm a carful driver. I will make sure not to get pulled over." He pulled away. I look back at my old house. My dad is standing on the porch with his arm around my step mother's shoulders. They were watching us. Percy pulled into the parking lot of central park. He got out and ran around to my door and opened it.

"I can open my own door, Seaweed Brain, but thank you for being a gentleman." I smiled at him. I put my hand up and he grabbed it and helped me up. He went to the trunk and grabbed a picnic basket and a blanket. "A picnic. Really. Where did you come up with this idea?" I smiled at Percy. We linked arms.

"My mother told me. This isn't the only thing I had in mind. Let's eat." He spread the blanket and we sat down. He pulled put a bunch of picnic food. He took a bite of watermelon and spit a seed at me. He missed, but still was mean. I took a bite of watermelon and spit the seed at him. It hit him on the forehead. We started to spit the seeds back and forth. We eventually stopped. He pulled out a chocolate cake.

"Are you trying to make me fat?" I say to him. He smiles.

"So I can eat you all up." We smile at each other. "Last I checked you weren't a child of Aphrodite."

"I'm not, but I don't want to get fat." I give the look to Percy. "Who made the cake?"

"Why would you want to know that?" Percy had a smirk on his face.

"If you made the cake, I would think you did something with it." I look at him. We have a stare off.

"I made it with help from my mom." Percy took a piece of cake. He started to eat it. I grabbed a plate. I took a bite. We put everything back in the basket. Percy started to laugh. He scooted closer to me. He put his finger to my mouth and wiped off some chocolate.

"Is that it?" I try to look at even though I knew I couldn't see it. I look up in his sea green eyes. We leaned closer and started to kiss. We went down. I was lying down on my back with Percy on top.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MAKING-OUT WITH MY DAUTHER!" Someone yelled. We stopped kissing and looked up to see my mother standing over us with her arms crossed. Percy gets off of me. He is blushing. I bet I am too. I sit up.

"I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THAT BOY!" She pointed at Percy when she said that boy. "AND I FIND YOU DISOBAYING ME. I DIDN'T STOP YOUR KISS AFTER THE DANCE BECAUSE APHRODITE WOULD NOT LET ME GO. I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED YOU." Her face was bright red.

Poseidon walks up from behind us.

"Hello Percy and Annabeth." Poseidon said in a calm voice.

"Hello father." Percy said in a formal voice. He was sitting up straight.

"Hello Lord Poseidon." I said. I bowed my head.

"On most occasions I do not agree with Athena." He turned his eyes to Athena. "But there is always a first for everything. I think you guys should not date." He crossed his arm. Athena and Poseidon started to fight. Percy leaned closer to me.

"Do you think we can sneak away?" I nodded my head. We put the stuff in the basket. We walked to the car. Arm and arm. We left. I looked back at the park and see our parents not there anymore.

Percy drives a long time. We finally hit the ocean. We get out of the car. This time Percy doesn't open my door.

"Welcome to Montauk." Percy spread his arms out wide. "My mom used to bring me here when I was little. I thought I should bring you here. My idea." It was beautiful. My mouth was probably wide open.

"It's perfect." I hugged Percy. He raped his arms around me. He picked me up over his shoulder. I started to hit him. "Put me down." I was punching his back.

"Nope." He popped his p. He started walking towards something. I have no idea where he is taking me. He starts walking into water.

"Percy don't you dare put me in the water." Percy then drops me.

"You wanted me to put you down." I'm dry because I'm right by Percy and he is keeping me dry. I cross my arms.

"Not funny." I say. I take a deep breath and let it out.

"I wanted to take you diving without scuba gear. I thought you would like it. If you don't want to go, we could do something else." My mouth dropped. Percy had a grin on his face. He grabbed my hand. We dove into the water. We went deep under. It was so dark. The way the moon light hit everything made it beautiful. I look over at Percy and he is smiling. I was having an awesome time. We swam to the surface and I could not see the land. Percy started to swim in a direction. He was holding my hand while swimming.

We were swimming and we saw a lightning bolt strike the land. What in Hades is going on? Thunder rolled, rain poured, and we were out in the middle of the ocean. The waves were getting bigger. Percy and I were swimming as fast as we could. Lightning was striking everywhere. My ears were ringing from it all. We finally get on shore and we bolt for the closes safe place. It was a cabin. We got in and shut the door.

"What is going on?" Percy asked. He turned the light on and had a smile on his face.

"I don't know. What do you have to be happy about?" I asked. Percy went to the couch and flopped on it.

"I used to stay in this cabin when I was little. There are two bedrooms here. We should crash." I sat down next to him. He put his arm around my shoulder.

"We need to get home. What if this is rented to someone?" I asked. Percy didn't seem to react.

"No one would be here. It's super old. It hasn't been used in years. If you are worried I can go check the bedrooms." He got up. I nodded. He went into one of the bedrooms. He walked out and into the other bedroom. He comes out all calm. "No one is here. We can't go anywhere in that storm. I got up and went to the master bedroom. It had a double bed. The other bed had the same.

"Which room do you want?" I ask Percy.

"I'll have the second room. That is the one I slept in." I nodded.

"Goodnight." I start to turn when Percy grabs my wrist. I turn his direction to see what he wants. He kisses my cheek.

"Goodnight." I bet my cheeks are red. I go to bed. This was the best first date.

How was it? Any ideas feel free to give me ideas. I'm at a writer's block.

Read it. Luv it. Review it. :D
