I know I haven't updated in a while. But I have been very busy lately. God, I didn't know 9th grade would be this hard, and busy. Anyway...

"I don't get this. Why am I going to your apartment again?"

Annabeth glanced at the boy, then shrugged, "Because your surprise is here," she said nonchalantly. She pressed the elevator button and waited for it to arrive.

"Aw man, Come on," Percy protested. "Can't you just take it from your apartment and bring it to mine instead?"

"Sorry, but can't do," the girl said. She turned her head towards Percy and smiled smugly, "So you'll just have to suck it up and deal with it."

Percy sighed. Well this girl is stubborn, he thought when he heard a ding! Both teenagers walked into it. Annabeth pressed the button of the elevator. Percy frowned when he realized that they are going to the top floor of the building instead of Annabeth's place. The raven-haired boy frowned. "Um, why are we going to the 10th floor?"

"Because that's where the surprise is."

Percy frowned. "Um, what exactly is your big surprise? Bungee jumping from the 10th floor?" The blonde girl only smirked.

With a ding, the elevator door slid open. Annabeth led the confused raven haired boy towards a door. She pushed it open, revealing a set of stairs. "Oh great," Percy grunted as they began to climb. "We're bungee jumping from the 12th floor. I can imagine tomorrow's headline: Crazy Teenagers Jumping Off A Building For No Apparent Reason."

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Relax, we aren't jumping off a building," she said.

"Then what are we going to do?" Percy demanded. They had reached the top of the stairs, and are now standing in front of a wooden door.

"This," Annabeth pushed the door open, "Is what we're going to do."

Percy stepped outside and reviewed the rooftop. There were a table and two chairs, with the Stolls brother standing near the table, a mischievous smile on their face. "Whoa, wait a sec," Percy said, glaring at the Stolls. "What are they doing here?"

"Chill dude," Connor said nonchalantly. "It's not like we're out here to kill you."

"Yeah," Travis said, nodding. "We're just out to have fun by making fun of people, and maybe humiliate them a little."

"Like what we did to Ethan yesterday," Connor added. "That was really hilarious!"

"I know right!" Travis said. He turned to Percy and grinned, "Too bad you weren't there. The look on his face was totally priceless."

Annabeth gave Connor and Travis a look. "Stolls, don't you dare..."

"No, no, keep going," Percy said. He seemed to be amused and excited about the topic. "What did you do?"

Connor and Travis looked at each other and grinned. "Glad you asked," Travis said. "You see-"

"The tale must be really amazing Stolls-"

"It is!"

"-but we're not here to hear your oh-so-amazing story," Annabeth made a mocking hand gesture. "So that's a story for another time."

"Party pooper," Connor murmured, earning a jab from his brother. Travis told him something under his breath, which made the brunette sighed. "Alright, alright, sheesh." He cleared his throat. "Hello, welcome to the so-called restaurant named The-Percy-And-Annabeth-Are-Going-To-Make-Out-Soon. Thalia's idea, not mine," he quickly added. Percy blushed furiously, while Annabeth rolled her eyes and made a mental note to talk to Thalia later. Though she knew it would be be pretty much useless.

"So anyway, here's your table," Travis gestured at the table beside him. "And of you excuse us, we'll get you the waitress." With that the Stoll brothers left.

Annabeth sighed and looked at Percy in appology. "Sorry about my friends," The girl said. "They can be really annoying sometimes."

Percy shrugged. "It's okay I guess," he said. "After the whole thing they did these past few weeks, I'm kinda used to it."

Annabeth chuckled. Just then, their 'waitress' walked towards their table, a mischievous grin on her face. "Good evening to the happy couple. I'm Thalia Grace and I'd be your waitress tonight, along with my awesome crew to help me out. So here's the menu," Thalia handed Annabeth and Percy the so-called menu (which was really just a piece of A4 carton) and grinned, "Ans just call me when you're ready to order." Thalia winked at the teenagers and walked away.

Percy raised an eyebrow at Annabeth. "You're asking Thalia to be our waitress?"

"Not really," the blonde girl said. "I asked Thalia and Rachel to help out with these. Told them to make sure that everybody in the gang has their part."

"Huh," Percy mused. "Alright then."

"Well hello lovebirds," Thalia said. Ignoring Annabeth's death glare, she took out a notepad and asked, "So what appetizer would you like to order?"

Percy looked at the menu and frowned. "But the only option we have is onion rings."

"Alright then, two onion rings," Thalia wrote it down on her pad and looked at Percy. "What about drinks?"

Percy looked at the menu. "Um, I think I'll have coke."

Thalia nodded. She wrote it down in and asked Annabeth, a smirk in her face, "What about you sweetheart?"

Percy stiffled a laugh, earning a glare from Annabeth. "I'll have coke too."

"Alright then," Thalia said. "I'll fetch your order. Be back soon." with a wink, she went away.

"Sweetheart?" Percy snickered.

Annabeth sighed. "She's impossible."

Percy shrugged, a smirk on his face. "Isn't she always?" he says. "I mean, seriously. The girl is just plain annoying sometimes."

Annabeth chuckled. "Sometimes is an understatement."

Just then, Thalia is back with their orders. "And here's your order. One coke for the Perseus," she grinned at Percy, who was glaring at her, "And here's a come for Annie."

Annabeth gave her a death glare. "Thals-"

"And here's the onion rings." Thalia set a platter of onion rings in the middle.

Percy frowned. "Where's the other onion rings?"

Thalia shrugged. "You guys only ordered one," she said nonchalantly. "Guess you'll have to share." The teenagers glared at the raven haired girl. But she ignored it. "So what do you want for the for the main course?"

Percy read the menu and frowned. "The only thing you serve is spaghetti."

"Then two servings of spaghetti it is," she exclaimed, grinning. "I'll delivered it when you've finished your appetizer!"And that's when the situation got awkward.

With that, she left. Percy and Annabeth reached out to take one onion ring. But when their hand touched, they quickly pulled them back. "Um, sorry," Percy said awkwardly. "You first." Annabeth smiled and took one onion ring.

"Thanks, she said." Percy nodded and took one onion ring. They smiled at each other and ate theirs. Awkward silence stood between them as they finished their onion rings.

When Thalia came back, Thalia winced. "Aw man," Thalia said, wrinkling her nose. "Why did the lovebirds stop chirping all of the sudden? I was getting used to it." The comment made both teenager tomato red.

Annabeth sighed. "Thals, for the last time, we are not a couple."

"Yeah, you're not," Thalia said. Annabeth was relief. Finally Thalia had stopped teasing about her and Percy. That will make her life much easier.

"Well, not yet, actually."

Seeing Percy groaned and face palmed made Annabeth sighed. Of course she's stop teasing us, she thought. Because life is just that nice.

"Anyway, here are your orders! One spaghetti bolognaise for the lady," she set down the spaghetti in front of Annabeth. "And also a spaghetti bolognaise for the not-so-gentleman."

"Hey!"

"I'm just kidding," Thalia said. She took the now empty onion rings plate and said. "Enjoy the meal. Oh also, you better strike a conversation if you want the dessert."

"Yes mommy," Percy said with a mischievous grin. Thalia gave him a death glare, which made him look down. Then she shrugged and walked away.

As soon as Thalia disappeared, the blonde girl looked at Percy in amusement at Percy. "Thalia's classic death glare, ladies and gentlemen," Annabeth said, smirking.

"The ability than can scare even the bravest person," Percy shuddered. Percy and Annabeth took their fork and began eating it. "So, um... What should we talk about now?"

"Um," Annabeth said, unsure. "I'm not sure..."

"Well," Percy said slowly. "Wanna try 20 questions?"

Annabeth sighed. "I can't believe I am doing this," she murmured. "You start."

"Okay, um... Favorite sport?"

"I think I'll have to go with baseball," Annabeth said. "Or softball. They're almost the same anyway."

"Huh, really?" Percy said, amused. "What's your favorite team?"

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "I thought it's my turn now."

"Well, then you can ask me two questions later," he shrugged nonchalantly. "So, what's your favorite?"

Annabeth took a sip of her coke. "The Yankees, of course," she said. "My dad used to take me to all their games. Not so much now, because he's really busy with his work." Percy nodded. "My turn. Um, favorite food?"

The raven haired boy grinned. "Well, that's hard. I love all my mom's food. But I think my favorite is my mom's blue blueberry cupcakes."

Annabeth frowned. "Don't you mean blueberry cupcakes?"

"Nope," Percy said, popping the 'p'. "I literally mean blue blueberry cupcakes." Percy snapped his finger. "Oh, maybe I should asked my mom to make a batch the next time you went over to my house for a session. I think you'll love it."

"Well, I'm looking forward to try it," Annabeth said, smiling. "Um, favorite color?"

Percy thought about it for a moment. "I think it's a tie between blue and green," he said. "What's yours?"

"Grey," she answered simply. "Favorite animals?"

"Horse."

"Really?" Annabeth said. "I was half expecting you to say a species of fish."

Percy shrugged. "Fishes are nice. But I think horse is cooler," he said nonchalantly. "And yours?"

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "You do realize you've been copying my questions, right?"

"No rules that told me I can't, right?" Percy said. "So what's yours?"

Annabeth thought about it for a while. "Owls," she said. "Favorite school subject?"

"Latin," the raven haired said.

"Really?" Annabeth said. "I was expecting you to say P.E."

"Well, it's a close second," Percy said. "I mean, with Coach Hedge and his constant yelling, that's a point down for P.E." he said nonchalantly. "Dream job?"

"Architect," Annabeth answered almost immediately. A grin is plastered on her face. "I would definitely be a famous architect and build cool buildings."

Percy laughed. "Well, someone is ambitious."

Annabeth shrugged. "YOLO, right?" She drank her coke and asked, "What's yours?"

"Honestly, I still can't decide," Percy said, looking down at his coke. "I mean, I think it would be cool to be a professional swimmer. Win a gold medal in the Olympics and all. But I want to be a marine biologist also. So, I don't know."

Annabeth smiled. "Well, don't worry. You still have loads of time to think about it, right?"

"Yeah," Percy said, nodding in agreement. "Hobby?"

"Reading," Annabeth said. "Or just hanging out with the gang. Favorite teacher?"

"Definitely Mr Brunner," the raven haired said. "He's really cool and just fun."

"I know right," Annabeth exclaimed. "Plus, he's wise and really smart. The best teacher you could ever find in the whole world."

"Favorite type of book to read?"

"Well," Annabeth said. "I enjoy fiction. But I really love books involving architecture. Oh and I love Myths too."

"Really?" Percy said, sounding quite surprise.

"Yep," Annabeth said. "And since you love Mr Brunner's class, I'm guessing you do too. Romans or Greeks?"

"Definitely Greeks," Percy said. "Romans are way too uptight." Annabeth laughed at this. "Favorite mythological heroes?"

"Well, that's tough," Annabeth said. "I like most of the heroes. But my favorites would be Daedalus and Atalata."

Percy raised an eyebrow. "Interesting choice," he mused.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "What's yours?"

"Well, like you, I also like most heroes," he said. "But I love Hercules-"

"Typical."

"And Perseus."

Annabeth looked at him with an eyebrow raised. "Your namesake, huh?"

Percy laughed a little. "Yeah," he said, a little embarrassed. "What about the scariest myths monster? Or villain?"

"Yikes," Annabeth said, biting her lips. "All of them are bad. But I think it's a tie between Arachne and Medusa." Annabeth shuddered before asking. "And your least favorite monster or villain?"

"The minatour," Percy said. "I dreamt that it chased me and almost killed my mom."

The blonde winced. "That's terrible," Annabeth said.

"I know right," he exclaimed. "Worst nightmare I have ever had." He shuddered before continuing. "Anyway, if you were a Greek warrior, what weapon would you use?"

"A dagger," Annabeth answered surely. "Definitely dagger. What about you?"

Percy shrugged nonchalantly. "Probably a sword," he said. "Anyway, dream holiday spot?"

"Greece," Annabeth said. "I mean with the cool ancient buildings, the magnificent giant statues, the ruins. It would be paradise!"

Percy laughed. "Someone is excited."

Annabeth grinned sheepishly. "Favorite video games?"

"Call of Duty," Percy said. "All the way." This made Annabeth laugh. "What about favorite movies?"

"Harry Potter," Annabeth said. "I love the book, and the movies are amazing. It would definitely be my all time favorite." Annabeth was finally finished with her spaghetti. She dab her mouth before continuing. "Cats or dogs?"

"Dogs," Percy said. "They're a lot more playful, loyal, and obedient than cats. Plus, they're not afraid of water." Percy had finish his dinner also and drank his coke.

He opened his mouth to ask something when Thalia came. "And the lovebirds have start to chirp once more," she said, earning a glare from both Percy and Annabeth. "Anyway, I'll just take those dirty plates," she stacked the plates and put it on her tray, "And give you this," she served a banana split each for Percy and Annabeth. "Oh, and also don't forget to tip me."

Thalia winked and walked away, leaving the teenagers staring at her in amusement. "Should we?" Percy asked Annabeth.

"I think yeah," she said. "Let's just give her 5 dollars. It's better than buying her lunch on Monday."

Percy nodded. He immediately took out his wallet and pulled out a 5 dollar bill. He put it underneath his bowl of banana split. He took his ice cream spoon and began eating his dessert. "First crush?"

Annabeth, who was about to scoop her ice cream, stopped and stared at Percy. "What?"

He shrugged nonchalantly. "I'm just curious."

"I am not telling you that kind of thing," Annabeth half-yelled. "It's private."

"Aw, come on," Percy pouted. "Please?"

For a moment, Annabeth glared at Percy. But she finally sighed. "Fine," she said. "But my next question will be about yours."

Percy could feel his cheeks were getting warmer. "Fine," he murmured.

Annabeth took a deep breath and sighed. "His name was Luke. Luke Castellan," Annabeth began. "I was only seven, and he's a year older than me. I met him at the park where we went to when you had your breakdown. Thalia, Luke, and I were best friends. Though I kinda like him more than as friends."

"Woah," Percy said. "What happened?"

Annabeth smirked. "You asked two questions," she said. The raven-haired boy only shrugged. So Annabeth continued. "He liked Thalia. And apparently Thalia liked him too. So yeah, it was a really weird love triangles." Annabeth nodded to Percy. "What about yours?"

Percy was tomato red by then. He glanced around and hissed, "Promise you won't tell her?"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes. Now just tell me."

Percy sighed. "I was twelve back then, and I... I have a crush on Rachel."

Annabeth almost choked on the banana. "Rachel? As in Rachel Elizabeth Dare?" Percy looked down and nodded. "Oh my god," Annabeth said.

She opened her mouth to say something, but she was pretty much speechless. "God, Annabeth. Please don't tell her," Percy said quickly. "You promised!"

"I'm keeping my promise," Annabeth said. "But I wasn't expecting that."

Percy rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "Well, she helped me with my art project. And, I don't know... I just started to like her."

"And did you make a move? Did you guys had those 'backstreet' relationship."

"No," Percy said, sighing. "Didn't have the guts."

"Too bad," Annabeth said, her eyebrows are furrowed. "She really liked you back then."

This time, it was Percy who almost choked on his banana.

"She really liked you," Annabeth said, somewhat nonchalantly as Percy continued to eat his dessert. "I mean, she doodled you and her holding hands in her notebook, talked about you every time. She was planning on asking you to go on a date."

Percy choked on his banana once more.

"She changed her mind though," Annabeth said. "She said that you won't accept it because you don't like her and act so nonchalant around her."

"I was trying to keep cool," Percy argued. "I didn't want to look like a total doofus in front of her."

Annabeth shrugged. "At least now you learn something: if you want to get the girl, don't just stand around like an idiot and make a move."

Percy opened his mouth to argue, but closed it again. He sighed and spoon the ice cream on his plate and ate it. Annabeth smirked. She also took the last spoon of her ice cream and ate it. "God I'm full," Percy said, slumping on his chair.

"Me too," Annabeth said. "Shall we go home."

"Sure," Percy said. As the both of them stood up, Percy added. "I'll walk you to your home."

Annabeth looked at Percy ridiculously. "Percy, it's only a few floor away."

The raven haired boy looked at her back, his eyebrows were raised. "So?"

Annabeth sighed. "Seaweed brain," she murmured, a tiny smile played on her lips. Percy just grinned sheepishly. He opened and hold the wooden door for Annabeth. Together, they climbed down the stairs.

They were quite the entire time, until they reach Annabeth's apartment. "So, um, this was fun," Percy said. "Thanks a lot Wise Girl."

Annabeth stifled a laugh. "Wise Girl? Really?"

Percy shrugged nonchalantly. "Hey it suits you," he said. "But anyway, thanks. And, um, it's a little embarrassing. But, uh, do you mind if I sit with your gang at lunch tomorrow? I mean, I don't think I can sit with Tammi, and Ethan, without wanting to punch a wall. "

"Sure," Annabeth said almost immediately. "Absolutely."

Percy smiled. "Thanks." Annabeth returned the smile and nodded. She turned around and about to open the door when Percy called her again.

"Annabeth."

She turned around and find Percy, grinned goofily. "I still have 7 chances to ask you about anything," he said.

Annabeth rolled her eyes playfully. "And I do to," she said. "Now good night Seaweed Brain."

"Night Wise Girl," Percy replied. "See you tomorrow.

And so the date ends.
