Girls- They are 16-years old (at the very beginning of their relationship.)
"Hey Annabeth!" I called, as I jogged to catch up to her.
She turned around and grinned when she saw me, slowing her pace to let me catch up.
"Hey Seaweed Brain." She said once I was next to her.
"Hey." I smiled and then looked at her hand; I started to reach for it, but then paused for a second before grabbing it. She laughed.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing, you're just so hesitant. I'm your girlfriend; I'm not going to bite." She said teasingly as we headed to the cabins.
I blushed slightly, "It's not my fault! I'm just not used to the whole us thing yet. And to be honest you still scare the shit out of me. Well girls in general scare me."
"So I scare you…" She asked smirking.
"Well yeah, I mean you're already really intimidating, and well you're a girl." I said, rubbing the back of my neck. We had just reached my cabin, and were entering when she spoke up.
"Well as much as I enjoy being intimidating to you, we need to fix some of that. So get ready to take notes because I am going to tell all the facts you will ever need to know about girls." She said as she jumped onto one of the bunks.
I groaned, "Is this going to be a regular thing with you? All of the facts I mean."
"Most likely, yes." (Boy is that right.) She said propping herself up on her elbows.
"Okay fire away."
"For all we talk about how hot guys are. We mostly care about their personality. Though a hot body is a plus…" She said the last part in a dreamy state.
"Well aren't you a lucky girl, getting a guy with an awesome personality and an awesome body." I said motioning to myself.
"Hmm yeah…" She said still in a dreamy state, "— I mean…" She started blushing. I smirked.
She narrowed her eyes at me. "We like dropping small flirts, to see if you are interested. But we will later deny it or make it into a joke."
"You can check that one off." She rolled her eyes.
"Most of us prefer to be call beautiful than hot or sexy. But not all of us…"
"Well you're all three so that doesn't really matter. But which do you prefer?"
Her cheeks turned a light pink, "You'll find out eventually… When a guy says something really sentimental, we will remember it forever. Almost every girl has one nickname that they just love to be called."
"Is that so Wise Girl?"
"See you're not completely hopeless! Nicknames like Babe are safe, but beware of Princess or Angel. Some girls will take offense, thinking you're calling them too innocent or incapable of taking care of themselves."
"Got it babe." She rolled her eyes and continued.
"When a girl cooks for you, you know you mean a lot to her."
"You mean a lot to me too, even though that cupcake you made me looked like a brick."
"I blame Tyson. Saying something sweet might get you off the hook; doing something sweet will almost always get you off the hook."
"I think I should write that one down…" I said looking around for something to write with.
"We love it when you make eye contact with us while we talk."
"Oh gods help me."
"What?"
"Have you seen your eyes!? Do you have any idea how intimidating they are?"
"Yes I am very well aware of that!" She said with a glint in her eyes, "Most girls love it when guys ask them for advice."
"Oh you're going to regret telling me that."
"You don't have PMS; so don't act like you know what it's like. Don't try to understand...believe me you never will. Just be a good boyfriend and bring me something with chocolate in it."
"Cho-co-late…" I said as I scribbled down the note, "got it."
"Size does matter," She said with a serious look on her face making me feel slightly self conscious, "But only to hoes; not us who want a relationship."
"Well you don't have to worry about that becau—" She cut me off with her hand.
"We hate it when guys say perverted things. And we will never enjoy talking dirty to you as much as you enjoy listening to it."
I sighed and nodded.
"We love it when a guy pulls us close by the waist. We hate guys with bad hygiene, so brush your teeth often. A kiss on the hand with the right timing can be a real turn-on. Most girls like a guy that will willing dance with them, even if he doesn't know how."
"Well I've already do that, I thought I was going to die both times it was so embarrassing. You were taller than me then! How many times did I step on your feet?" I said remembering when we danced together at Westover Hall, and then Olympus after the Winter Solstice meeting.
"Umm, can't say I remember…" I had a feeling she was saying that to just spare my feelings. "Umm violent statements like If that guy keeps looking at you, I'm going to tear his head off are appealing."
"That I can handle."
"Many of us don't let you see us cry, unless we want you to comfort us. When we do cry, we feel a lot safer if you pull us close. When we're upset and want you to listen, we want you to listen. We don't need you to fix it or tell us how to. We just want you to listen."
"Annabeth Chase cries?" I asked in mock shock.
She ignored me, "And most importantly, we like being told how you feel about us, and often. But we don't want you to say I love you if you don't mean it."
I got up and walked over to the bunk she was sitting on. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulled her in close, and looked her in the eyes and said, "I love you." And I kissed her.
When we pulled away she looked at me with a slight smile on her face and a gleam in her eyes, "I love you."
Lexie: Aww that was so sweet! I haven't updated in forever oh my gods! This has been the longest it has ever taken me to update this story I think. I'm so sorry! I have deprived you of facts! I feel so bad. I blame my Literature teacher! He gives us so much work! I'm not even going to tell you the all the work I have for the long weekend.
For all you boyfriends out there I hope you are doing all of these! If not you better start! For all you girlfriends your boyfriends better be doing this! If they aren't give them the Annabeth talk. And for all my fellow forever alones or as I refer to myself as not looking for a relationship I might put up a special chapter that takes place BEFORE they were dating, when Annabeth is trying to give Percy all the hints about when a girl is flirting with them! Yeah I like that idea.
So who here's a boyfriend? Girlfriend? Not looking for a relationship/Forever Alone.
