Annabeth
I couldn't stop smiling the entire day. Today, was my second date with Percy. That just made my smile go wider.
Hey, remember, he's a playboy sistah, snap out of it. My imposter self whispered to me.
I slapped both my cheeks, she was always interfering, always.
School was almost over and I saw Piper and Thalia walking over to me.
"Hey guys", I said, with that smile still plastered over my face.
"Someone seems happy", Thalia said, wiggling her finger in front of my face.
"Did something happen? You have that shining vibe, oooooooh, you got a boyfriend didn't ya? OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, who is it? Hurry, Hurry, tell me", Piper blabbered, clearly excited.
"oh let the poor girl talk Piper", Thalia, rolled her eyes, but she was waiting for it too.
"No, I don't have a boyfriend….Just a date", I Said the last three words in a whisper.
"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, WHO IS HE? IS HE CUTE? HOT? ALL OF THE ABO-", Piper yelled, but I Interrupted her by slapping my hands on her mouth, not that they stopped her from talking.
"SHH", I said, freeing my hands from her mouth and looking around, making sure no one heard her, but I knew that was highly unlikely.
"Who is it?" she asked, this time in a whisper.
"Percy Jackson"
Both pair of eyes now wide, in shock or horror, I couldn't tell.
"Are you serious?" Thalia asked.
"Yeah, why? Is that bad?" I asked suspiciously.
I received a sudden shock when she hugged me and lifted me off the gound.
"My little baby has grown up, I'm so proud," she exclaimed, wiping fake tears.
"Oh, shut up", I retorted. "Anyway, I need your hel-"
They dragged me to Piper's car, And while giving a nod to each other said, "Operation, dress the poor girl, engage"
I let out a laugh, and we left off to my house.
Percy
"So, I've got a date", I said, shaking my juice box.
"WHAT?!" Nico, Grover and Jason said together, Jason even choked on his juice.
"And this unlucky girl is Annabeth?" Nico asked.
"Yes, and why exactly is she unlucky?"
"Oh, no reason", Nico replied, smirking at me.
"I hate you guys", I said exasperated.
"We love you too, darling", Grover said, chuckling.
"Hmph"
"So, what's the plan?" Jason asked, eyebrow raised.
"Um, I'm picking her up, and we're going to my favorite place.
"oh, the place", Nico seemed convinced.
"Mhm"
Annabeth
I looked stunning, if I say so myself. Thalia and Piper had transformed me from i-don't-care to I'm-pretty-and-proud-of-it.
"….So?" Piper asked.
"I turned to look at her, "this is amazing".
I was dressed in black tights with a baggy grey shirt with gold sequins on it, showing off my eyes, a black cardigan on top, with a grey bag. My knee length shoes were covered in buckles and chains. My Curly Blond hair neatly curled and draped to my left side. For the final touches, Piper added some light make-up on my face. Then a wave of realization hit me.
"I don't remember buying this", I asked suspiciously, holding one edge of my shirt up.
"Oh, don't worry, we bought it for you, when you ditched us, consider it a gift", Thalia said, smiling, apparently, both of them were proud of their masterpiece.
"N-No, I can't accept this", I stammered
"Oh Shush", Piper said.
"…Thanks guys, you're the best."
"Have a great time", Thalia said, winking at me.
I nodded to that, and then my face turned to the clock, there were still fifteen minutes left.
After what seemed like a second, I heard the bell ring.
"That must be him", Piper clapped her hands, she was more excited than I was.
I Gulped, loud, and walked to the door. With a deep breath I opened it wide, to be presented with the gorgeous, handsome, and what-not Percy Jackson.
Percy
My jaw dropped to the floor.
Oh my god, She looks…. I cant even describe it.
"U-Uh H-hi", I managed to blurt out.
"H-hey", she blushed, then eyed the flowers in my hand.
I, at once composed myself, "For you", I said, handing the bouquet to her, "You look amazing".
"You don't look so bad yourself", she said, regaining her confidence too. "I'll Put these inside, just give me a sec,"
"oh, Sure"
After putting the flowers inside, she stepped outside. And….she seemed scared a bit, at the sight of my motorcycle.
"What's wrong?" I asked, even though I knew what was wrong.
"U-Um, it's just… I've never ridden on a motorcycle."
"Don't worry, It's alright, I'll be super careful", I said, crossing my heart.
She chuckled, and then nodded, she climbed on the motorcycle, and wrapped her hands around my waist. She hugged tightly, obviously, I gave her hands a light pat, and we rode off.
