CHAPTER 7 (BONUS CHAPTER!)

Nervous

PERCY

*2 DAYS LATER*

Percy definitely enjoyed the last two days in his life. It was Thursday already, and he couldn't believe all that stuff happened in two days.

First thing that happened, Percy and Annabeth watched a movie together. The Amazing Spider-Man. Though Percy wished it was someone other than Annabeth at his side. . . .

Then Wednesday, they had no class because it was a "local holiday". Percy's first thing in that day was recruit Grover to the SGC. And they had a fun time. They watched The Matrix trilogy in the backstage, borrowing the school theater's projector and ate snacks with the whole SGC while watching those movies. He definitely enjoyed time with Callie.

So, those were the facts. Percy liked Callie.

And it just had been 3 days.

What he liked about Callie was the fact she wasn't just a geek like him. She was also very pretty. He found it cute that she wore glasses, and how her caramel hair's one braid falls onto her shoulder, and how she always wears geeky shirts when she goes to school. It was just yesterday when she wore an Attack on Titan t-shirt, one of Percy's favorite anime's.

She liked how she was sweet, and nice. And that he was free whenever he was with her.

Percy was always a geek, but he never really openly expressed it in school. His conversations with his previous crush, Annabeth, were limited to talks about school, watching movies, reminiscing good times and studying. Whenever Percy was with Callie, he felt freedom in his words. He could talk about anything he wanted to with her. Because Callie understood her, unlike Annabeth, who never has talked about Percy's geeky side.

And he was going to ask her out on a date.

Before their date.

It was final period in class, and it was Art Class with Annabeth. He was heavily anticipating the end of class, so he can go straight to the SGC and have fun with Callie and the gang. But this was one whole hour of boringness. So he and Annabeth partnered up and they each had to draw a fictional character that has inspired them.

Annabeth chose Sherlock Holmes.

Percy chose. . . . someone.

As Annabeth drew her in her long Art Sketchpad that the school gave them, Percy drew his. And what he drew was a superhero.

"Who are you drawing this time, Seaweed Brain? Bill Nye?" Annabeth jokingly asked.

Percy didn't even reply. He was too focused on his work. Annabeth just stared at him, admiring him and his handicraft.

He focused on the awesome things on his drawing.

A man with eyes with no pupils.

Wears a black mask with two short ears.

His whole body is colored gray and black.

Owns a utility belt with tons of gadgets.

And has a cape.

The Dark Knight, himself, Batman.

Callie's most favorite superhero. So he had inspiration. So what? Percy drew and drew, and sure enough, it passed the time. Annabeth herself finished her own, and it was the Robert Downey Jr. version of Sherlock Holmes.

"Batman, Percy? Seriously?" Annabeth teased and smirked at him.

"Callie's favorite superhero." Percy said dreamily. Like he was thinking of Callie's face right now. Because he was. Gods, he wished she was here right now. Just seeing her face was satisfying. Then Percy noticed Annabeth's disappointing look and looked down.

Wait, what?

"Something wrong , Wise Girl?" Percy asked with concern.

"Um, nothing." She shook it off as if it was nothing. She was bothered by something.

"Okay, what's wrong with you? I know it's not nothing." Percy added. Percy had seen this look on Annabeth's face before. She was upset about something.

"Just forget it, Percy." Annabeth added off-handedly.

Forget it, she said. And Percy did. He was too busy thinking about Callie. Then he realized, Annabeth was currently with him. Oh, this was the perfect chance.

"Uh, Annabeth?" Percy asked, feeling a little nervous.

"Mmmm?" Annabeth mumbled.

"How. . . do you, uh, ask a girl to, uh, a date?" Percy asked, scratching the back of his head. Annabeth narrowed her eyes at him.

"Who's the girl, anyway?" Annabeth acted liked she didn't care and resentment.

"Uh, you know. . . . Callie?" Percy was really nervous.

Percy had to be really careful, because Annabeth crunched her pencil already. Like she was mad at someone, then she took a deep breath and turned to Percy and smiled. (Though Percy could swear that smile looked fake)

"So. . . . Percy has a crush that isn't me?" Annabeth questioned then chuckled.

Percy was not enjoying this.

"C'mon! Be serious! How do you ask a girl to a date?!" Percy was complaining like a little kid right now.

"You just ask her, Percy. That's it." Annabeth was laughing at him now.

"Really?" Percy wasn't so sure.

"Really, really."Annabeth added.

Whew. Percy was really scared. He'd confessed to Annabeth about his feelings, but this was nowhere scary as asking a girl to a date. What if Callie doesn't even like him?

"I have to do this."

"Perce! You, my man, are just in time! Callie just got a new video game!" Leo told him, dragging him to the SGC club headquarters.

Inside, the projector was on, and an Xbox 360 was plugged into the AVR, and a video game displayed. The gamer playing the game was Callie.

"Hey, Percy! Just in time."

Everybody was seated that the headquarters looked like a real cinema, except with video games.

"What game is this?" Percy asked with a little tease.

"Batman: Arkham Origins" Everyone said in unison.

"Oh."

Of course. Callie's favorite superhero.

Percy stretched his hands. He was gonna do it.

BOOYAH.

Shortest chapter in the world, I'm sorry.

But tomorrow's a new day.

So review, sit back and enjoy.

And to those asking, if it's Percabeth or Calercy.

Well,

#THATDEPENDS

And those asking if Annabeth and Callie are gonna fight?

MAYBE. ;)

Chapter 8 is tomorrow!
