Annabeth's P.O.V.

Annabeth silently groaned as Leo dragged her away from Percy. She turned back to take a quick glance at Percy, hopefully he would save her from her terrible burden. Well, she could only imagine or at least hope. Percy had set her up on this date, why would he suddenly cancel it? Percy only grinned at her, nodding his head the direction to where Leo was dragging her. She titled her head to the side, questioningly.

What, Annabeth thought, What is he doing?

Annabeth followed Percy's eyes and they landed on a building, to be specific, a fast-food restaruant. Annabeth could feel her eyes slowly widening at the sight of it, she turned back to look at Percy, but he was already gone. She had expected somewhere classy, and worth the process of getting dressed up. That's was the only reason why she had changed into her abnormal attire. She had put on a knee lengthed dress, that was supposedly considered a sun dress. It's base color was black, while a funky floral print was scattered all around it. Annabeth didn't mind wearing it, if she had a choice as if to not, she would refuse. She let her blonde hair tumble to her shoulders, leaving it damp. And to complete the look, she choose a pair of black strappy sandals that had a gladiator feel to them. Of course, no make-up. Annabeth wasn't too fond of it, she didn't feel the need to enhance her face or looks in any way.

"So, uh, we're here," Leo announced, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck while holding open the door for her.

Annabeth had a weird assumption that he was actually nervous. If he had no issue with shamelessly flirting, well, in his mind flirting, why should he be nervous about going out with a girl? She narrowed her eyes at him, before giving him a slight nod, nodding her thanks and walked into the fast-food restaruant. She took in the sight, and wasn't displeased at all. For a McDonalds it was quite unique, which she admired it for that. Instead of having a literal floor, it was replaced with sand, that created more of a beach inspired look. It basically looked like one of those beach shacks, execpt it served fast-food and whatnot. Not to mention the famous Happy Meals.

"Do you want to order?" Leo asked, wiping his hands on his shirt. "I mean, it's totally fine if you don't want to. We can just, you know, talk. . . Or maybe even do other things," Leo said in a seductive tone, whilst giving her a smirk.

Annabeth took cautious steps away from him until she was at the ordering counter. She waited in line, until Leo came up to her holding a notepad. She noticed something faintly scribbled down. Annabeth didn't even give him a second glance, she had expected that Leo was going to be quite entertaining and random. Though, what made her uneasy was the word scribbled on the notepad.

Cautious.

Why did he have the sudden need to write down one of her qualities? Annabeth wondered why he would think of such of thing, it was a thoughtful thing to do, even if it was slightly creepy. In fact, she felt like she was supposed to be writing something down. She was the one who need to know information about boys. Annabeth thought Leo didn't need any tips or information, he seemed to be doing fine at the level he was going at.

"Welcome to McDonalds," A voice greeted, jolting Annabeth out of her thoughts. "How may I take your order?"

Annabeth opened her mouth to speak, but Leo beat her to it. Leo leaned over the counter to stare at the cashier's name tag. "Well, Nancy, I'll have the Big Mac combo, extra salt on the fries. And Annabeth here will have the same thing."

Annabeth frowned at him, who was he to order for her? "Scratch that off, Nancy. I think I have the least bit of independence to order for myself, Leo. Thank you."

Annabeth noticed Nancy grinning at her, while watching her and Leo closely. "Well, I thought it was in my place to order. You don't talk much, anyway," Leo explained, while shrugging.

"No, it isn't," Annabeth said incredulously. "Check yourself before you go on and try to make decisions for me."

Suprisingly, Leo only grinned at her while scribbling down something on his notepad.

Independent.

Headstrong.

Was he purposely acting the way he was to find out more about her? Annabeth didn't think too much of Leo when it came to intelligence, though his tactic was very creative. Annabeth would just have to wait out the date to find out what his whole deal was or she would take matter into her own hands.

"Well." Nancy smiled. "Uh, what would you like?"

"I would like to have a salad, and a bottle of water," Annabeth replied.

Annabeth heard Leo mutter incoherent words but caught: Who the hell orders salad and water at Mcdonalds?

Nancy grinned, once again, placing Annabeth's order. "Well, that's all! Your order number is fifty-six, and I hope you enjoy!"

Leo nodded at her, grabbing his cup, and heading over to the soda fountain. Annabeth decided to follow him. Leo scanned all the beverage choices, he looked disappointed at first, until his eyes landed on the Dr. Pepper. He filled his cup with ice, and filled the cup up to the top. Annabeth watched him intensely, which made Leo uncomfortable. He sipped on his straw, staring at her and she stared back.

"Um, there a reason why you're staring at me?" Leo fidgeted with his straw.

"Reason why you have that notepad and particularly are writing down some of my characteristics?" Annabeth countered, folding her arms over her chest, giving him a triumphant smirk.

Leo narrowed his eyes, while smoothly pulling out his notepad. "Oh, nothing. Isn't a good idea to get to know my future wife?"

Annabeth snorted. "I don't see anything in my future including you."

"Ouch," Leo said, pretending to clutch his chest. "You know, that one actually hurt."

Annabeth shook her head at him before sighing loudly, and directing her path towards the nearest booth. She slid in the booth and pulled out her iPhone hoping it would keep her distracted from Leo. Annabeth tapped away as she played some knock-off Tetris game, little did she know that Leo was, once again, writing down more things about her.

"I like your phone case," Leo complimented, staring at her galaxy themed phone case.

"Oh, really?" Annabeth asked, arching an eyebrow. "What's your favorite type of galaxy?"

That question, of course, caught Leo off guard. "Uh, you know, the normal one. . ."

"There is no normal one there are three specific types, though," Annabeth explained. "Spiral, irregular, and elliptical. I think my favorite is an irregular galaxy, probably because they have no real symmetrical structure. Which makes me find them quite unpredictable."

"Oh, yeah," Leo said absently-minded, scribbling away on his notepad. "Cool, cool."

"What are you writing now?" Annabeth questioned, trying to peek her vision into the clear sight of the the notepad but Leo was quick enough to pull back.

"None of your business."

"It's pretty much my business if it involves me," Annabeth shot back in confusion.

Annabeth pretended to play a game on her phone, long enough to leave Leo in a train of concetration. Right when he hadn't expected it, Annabeth's had shot towards the notepad and was out of Leo's grasp within seconds. Annabeth quickly scanned the yellow tinted pages, and her eyebrows creased at the words written.

Complete and total nerd. Never going out with again.

Annabeth glanced at Leo, who was trying to look anywhere but her. "Am I really that bad?"

Leo was about to respond, predictably make up an excuse, but was interrupted by Percy who burst through the doors two guys at his side.


This was a baddd chapter. But the date is going to extend into the next chapter. This wasn't very detailed, and I found it rather...ugly. I know I can do better than this. But whatever, you'll get a beautiful chapter in return. I wanted to at least have no more than eight chapters for this story. So there'll be more ratchet chapters, sorry. Plus, I just wanted to update. Kill me if you will.

~Leave a review, to make me smile. ":D"
