The date! Hahahaha. Personally, I think it's cute. Well, enjoy!

Fifth day of school, Friday

Annabeth's POV

The last bell just rang for the day. I was so excited. Tonight was the night. But Percy didn't tell me where we were going yet. All he said was it was a surprises. I don't like surprises. At lunch, Percy sat next to me, leaving his friends and my friends in shock. I'm not the kind of girl who cared what people thought, but with everyone staring at us, it made me think. Why are they staring? Well, I guess people would look. The new girl and the most popular guy in school sitting alone at a table. But still, didn't their parents tell them it was rude to stare? I just turned around and ignored them. I could still feel them staring. Today, Percy was hanging out with me. He waited by my locker before calculus and walked me to class. He was by my side the whole day so far. His presence would always make my heart go faster. I called Jessie, who was giving updates to Alex, Sam, and Josh (Remember him? He has an obsessive crush on me).

You should've seen his face! When I told him you liked another guy, he was so shocked. He stopped breathing for at least a minute and a half! He had to go home. It was so funny! I know that sounds insensitive, but if you just saw his face! I couldn't help but laugh. That would be pretty funny. Ever since he developed a crush - scratch that - obsession, which was since 4th grade, he has been making my life miserable. He would sit next to me in class and just stare at me during tests. Thankfully, my dad told my teacher and moved Josh as far away as possible. But that was only after I got C's on the last five tests. That's why my friends and I try to get back at him. We would make up fake boyfriends for me, just to see his face. He is so weird. He would try to ask me out every week, even though he clearly knows I have a boyfriend (Fake, of course.) Creepy, right?

Friday night

I am so nervous! I know were just hanging out, but I wanted to impress him. I just settled with my gray skinny jeans, black boots, and dark blue jacket with a little bit of ruffles at the bottom. Jessie said that brought out my eyes and hair. I had to admit, I did look good. I guess Jessie knew what she was doing.

At seven, there was a knock at the door. I ran to get it before my dad or brothers could do it and embarrass me.

"You're eager. So. . . who's this boy?" my dad asked.

"His name is Percy and we're just hanging out." Dads. So protective.

"Fine, be back by eleven."

"Yes, dad."

"Be safe!" he yelled, waking up the twins, as I walked outside and closed the door.

There he was. Wearing a dark green shirt, jeans, and converse. Looking so cute and mysterious in the light of the lampposts. "Hey, Percy"

"Hey. You look good."

"Thanks. So where are we going?" I said, hoping he might say something. He smiled mischeiviously.

"Well, I won't tell you where we're going, but let's take a walk." I was usually stubborn with surprises, but I agreed. He had that effect on me.

We were in Central Park. Just walking and talking. I actually liked it like this. Better than the sort of things in movies. I told him so much about me and it was amazing how interesting his life was. He said it was boring, I didn't think that. We were holding hands, now. The first hour, it was awkward. But now, I felt so comfortable around him. So safe. He suddenly stopped. I looked up at his face and he was smiling.

"We're here." I didn't even see the beautiful fountain in front of us. "This is my favorite place to think. It's so peaceful and it has water." he said. I smiled for two reasons. First, the fountain was so beautiful. I couldn't even think of words to describe it. But mostly, I smiled because this was his secret place. It was like he just let me in on one of his secrets. It really felt like we were getting closer. "Hey, do you want something to eat?" he pointed to a hot dog stand. He was great. Not too cheap, not too fancy.

"Yeah" I nodded. We walked over to the stand. He got two hot dogs with ketchup. I can't believe he remembered! I told him earlier that I loved ketchup only on my hot dogs.

Sitting at the fountain, we ate and talked. When we were done, he kindly threw away our food. Such a gentleman. When he came back, he grabbed my hand and pulled me to a nearby tree. We sat down, but there was an awkward silence.

"So. . . I was wondering," He managed to say. "If you wanted. . . umm. . . . to go to the. . . . dance, with. . . .me." He looked at me, nervously. I smile and nodded, excited. But half-asleep. He saw me yawn and smiled. Did he think I was cute when I was sleepy? "Are you tired?"

"Mm-hm"

"Come on. Let's get you home"

Adrienne's POV

Ugh!!!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Percy actually wants to hang out with that. . . .that nerdy new girl. I was watching them. There they were sitting under a tree. Annabeth's head was leaning on Percy's head. He was looking at her like he really likes her. Did Percy seriously think she was his type? I was his type!! He was supposed to be with me!!!!!

"Adrienne. Come on. It's ten forty five. I want to go home." Stacey, one of Adrienne's "followers", whined. "Why are you spying on them anyway? It's obvious he never took any interest in you." Adrienne shot her one of her death glares. "No offense." Stacey added.

"It's not spying. It's watching."

"You made your dad buy you this crazy thing so you can hear them from a mile away. It's spying."

"Fine. It's spying. But Percy is MINE!!!!"

"Adrienne. We have everything we need to know. Annabeth likes Percy. Percy likes Annabeth, not you. Let's go." Stacey dragged Adrienne out of the park, grumpily.

Percy's POV

She looked so beautiful as she slept. She nodded. I had to smile. She said yes. She agreed to coming to the dance with me. She yawned, looking so cute. She had her head on my shoulder. With wisps of her golden hair covering a small part of her face, her eyes closed. I brought her home. I had one arm around her shoulders, supporting her while she sleepily walked. She had her arms wrapped around me, like a little kid would hug a teddy bear when they went to sleep.

"Annabeth? Wake up. You're back home." She rubbed her eyes.

"Where are we?"

"We're at your house. You fell asleep, so I brought you back." She walked to door and grabbed the handle, but turned around.

"Listen, I'm sorry. I had a really good time, but I fell asleep on you." she said, sadly.

"It's okay. I had a good time, too. So, I'll pick you up for the dance?"

"Yeah," Wow. She remembered, even when she was half-asleep. "And thanks for walking me home."

"Anytime. Bye, Annabeth."

"Bye, Percy." she smiled.

Hope you guys liked this chapter. I had a little bit of writer's block, so it's not as good as last time. I'll work on that. Comment!
