"Hey perce"

"Annabeth" Percy said without much enthusiasm.

Even then Annabeth cracked a smile at the sound of her name coming from his mouth.

"I was wondering if I could sit with you guys today" she said while biting her lip.

Percy plastered on the most sarcastic smile he could muster and said in a cheery voice

"It's a free county isn't it?"

"Sure is!" She said back with a equally sarcastic smile on. Nevertheless she sat down and began to eat her food. Percy didn't like the way she ate, it seemed too mature, eating a single fry in three bites and using a fork and knife to eat a burger. He tried not to mind her as he stuffed fries down his mouth messily and ate his burger with two hands, letting the grease drop down his fingers. Even then he noticed his two best friends share a look before looking at him, begging a silent question. His eyes got a little darker before he nodded stiffly, giving them the answer they were hoping for. Almost the second he had nodded they were hopping up and bolting out the doors of the cafeteria to their next class. Annabeth raised her eyebrow but didn't comment on it, instead she turned in her chair so she was completely facing Percy.

Here it comes he thought.

"So Percy" Annabeth said in a hushed voice, as though this was a fun secret she was going to share, "I don't know if you know this, but you're quite the looker"

Even though Percy didn't want to let her words effect him, he couldn't help but let a small blush rise to his cheeks.

"Look Annabeth-" Percy began to say before getting cut off.

"Party, My house, this friday, bring your friends." She said with a warm smile before standing up and walking out of the cafeteria, hips swaying o so perfectly. Percy watched after her with a look of shock on his face. Firstly, becuase she had the audacity to assume he would want to come to her party. Secondly, becuase he had never been to a party on account of being, well, him. He started thinking about how great it would be for Nico and Grover to finally get out and meet some people. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense for them to go to Annabeths party. Not for the first time that day, a thought occurred to Percy. I'm screwed.
