Annabeth's P.O.V.
"This is the friend you had in mind? I'm sorry, not be rude or anything. . .But, don't you think it would be a little nice for me to try this out with a guy who has some actual experience?"
Annabeth had expected for Percy to give her some minor tips, and advice. What did he end up doing instead? He set her up on a blind date, with a guy who didn't have any more experience than Annabeth did. They watched from afar as Percy's "friend" hit on a girl, to no avail. He had extremely curly hair, that stopped a little below his ears, leaving his narrow pointed ears on display. He was also about two heads shorter than Annabeth, who was nearly 5'7. What confused Annabeth the most about his appearence was the fact that he was casually sporting a tool belt, that hung loosely from his hips. Something that made Annabeth uneasy was the crazy glint of, what almost looked like fire, in his eyes. There was also a hidden amount of enthusiam, but Annabeth was more focused on the craziness.
Percy crossed him arms across his chest and smirked at Annabeth playfully. "Oh, Leo has experience. Just not the type you're probably looking for."
"Yes, because that totally makes sense," Annabeth snorted, scuffing her foot into the warm sand. "And what type of experience? Experience in rejection?"
Percy rolled his eyes, but then gave her a supportive smile. That crazy lopsided smile that drove Annabeth insane. "Look, don't worry. By the time you come out of that restaurant you'll be a changed girl. Leo has that type of affect on the ladies." He winked at Annabeth, showing that he was playing. Annabeth couldn't help but feel her face heat up a bit just a that tiny action.
"You mean a scarred, deranged girl? Ever look into his eyes and see that crazy glint? I mean, that I can understand."
Percy let a low chuckle out that made Annabeth smile a bit. "Y'know, I sort of like this Annabeth. The one who says what's on her mind rather than giving only silent responses in return."
Annabeth looked down at her a feet, she admitted that she was rather blunt at times, though that's what made her herself. She was starting to feel this strange sensation relating towards Percy, and her personality. Annabeth knew Percy for about seven hours, and during those seven hours she allowed herself to think that it was alright to show him who she really was. During those seven hours, she was slowly starting to open up to him. And during those seven hours she never felt the way she felt before.
Annabeth slowly flushed at Percy's words, and gave him a small smile. "Thank you," Annabeth replied quietly.
Percy's face dropped a little, and he nodded. "Well, I think it's time to go meet Mr. Player."
Annabeth nodded, and followed the direction where Percy was heading. She tried her hardest not to stare at Percy's back figure, but there was one thing she noticed that caught her off guard. He had the most unnoticable limp, every time his left foot came in contact with the ground his knee bounced to the slightest. Annabeth automatically knew she could use that to advantage in the water. Annabeth guessed his surfing stance was presumably not the best, but he maintained to control his limp, and the weakness in his left foot. She considered the idea, but once again, she wanted to win fair and square. No cheating was unneccesary.
Yet her thoughts wondered back as to how he won his surf events with that minor injury. Maybe the injury was slightly new, and he was still trying to work with it? Possibly, he must've had it since childhood, he seemed fine with walking with it and his body language didn't seem uncomfortable at all. Annabeth quickly looked around at the signs near her, when Percy turned around to look at her. It was evident in his eyes that he knew what she was looking at, and for some reason Annabeth felt guilty.
"Relating to my embarassing moment, had it since childhood. Don't mind it," Percy said in a nonchalant manner. Annabeth could only nod, but didn't dare look Percy in the eye. Why did she feel so guilty? There was no reason to at all.
When they reached their destination, which was only forty feet away, they were waiting for Leo to finish his full-blown Yo' Mama joke battle. Annabeth was amazed about how his opponent, who was a girl, could quickly muster up some pretty good insults.
"Yo' mama so ugly that even the forever alone guy denied her friend request," Leo practically spat at the girl. Annabeth assumed that Leo was sensitive about topics that are specifically focused on mothers, but she thought otherwise seeing as he had no problem speaking so rudely about the someone else's mother.
Annabeth watched amusedly as Percy turned away bitting his fist, it was obvious he was that he was trying to resist from laughing. Annabeth rolled her eyes at him, and tugged on Percy's arm. "Come on, stop laughing and let's get this over with."
Percy's face was red, but he managed to gain control of himself. He grabbed Leo's arm, and yanked him away from the girl who was now smirking. "Sorry, Reyna. Um, can I borrow Leo for about two hours and you can continue your precious battle?"
The girl, Reyna, continued to smirk while slowly nodding in response, not taking her eyes off of Leo. "For all I care you can borrow him for an eternity. Bye Leo, come throw me some jokes when they're not off of Google." Annabeth, Percy, and Leo watched as Reyna sauntered away, clearly pleased with herself.
When Reyna was out of hearing range Leo spoke. "God, she's beautiful," Leo breathed out, clutching his chest.
Annabeth snickered, and Percy went into a coughing frenzy. "But not as beautiful as you," Leo corrected himself as soon as his eyes landed on Annabeth. He reached for her hand, and kissed it softly while looking into her eyes. Annabeth didn't want to be baffled by him, so she sent Percy a pleading look expressing: Get this leeche off of me!
Percy coughed loudly, and heavily pried Leo's hand off of Annabeth's arm. "Er, Leo, this is Annabeth. She'll be surfing with us tomorrow, and I was wondering if you could help her out with something?"
Leo grinned at Percy in almost a demented way. "I know who she is, only the hottest girl I've layed my eyes on."
Percy rolled his eyes, and nudged Annabeth. "He says that to every girl, you're not alone."
Annabeth drowsed her head, and stared at Leo, her mouth somewhat agaped. Being "hitted on" was something Annabeth wasn't accustomed to, but she knew if she were to go on a date with Leo she would have to suck it up and deal with it. "Do all boys think the same things about girls?"
Percy looked absent-minded for a second, then shook his head. "No, it depends on what type of guy they are."
"What type of guy is Leo?"
"A guy who can't score a date, no matter how charming he thinks he is."
"Hey! Are you saying that your mom doesn't count - OW!"
By far, that was the most excruciating punch Annabeth had managed to witness in her seemingly tight-knit life.
Yeah, Leo was OOC, but I need our favorite flame boy to be that way in order for me to work with this story. Next chapter is their supposed "date". LOL, I'm gonna have some fun! Get ready for some horrible pick-up lines. . .
Our precious Annabeth is opening up.
I didn't really like this chapter. :/
~Leave a review, and make me smile. :]
