Chapter 9: There's no place like homecoming.

"The homecoming is almost here! So dont forget to invite that special person to the dance it will be a night that you'll never forget"

Jeez, how many times had I heard that in a week, too many. I was in my Math Class and every and I mean EVERY girl was talking about that stupid dance when I was about to die I saw Percy entering.

"Hello, beautiful" he said sitting in the seat behind me.

"Hey"

"So I wanted to.." He was interrupted by the teacher giving his class. "We'll talk later" he said

The class was almost over when the teacher gave us 10 minutes to talk and stuff.

"Where were we?"

"Mmm, i think you wanted to tell me something.."

"True, i want you to come with me to the homecoming" he said.

"No way" I said looking him in the eyes.

"What- why?" He said, surprised.

"I don't want to go, I'm sorry, Percy." He was looking at me and it made it hard to not say yes, but I was mad, I mean, he was the only person in the world that i thought hated school dances as much as I did.

"Come on, we'll have fun"

"Theres no way im going to the homecoming" I said and this time I almost yelled at him.

"Annabeth, don't act like that, I just.."

"What's going on? Why are you pressuring me?" I asked standing in front him, he stood up as well.

"What- Im not"

"I'm not going" i said almost in a whisper before i heard the bell rang. "Goodbye" i said leaving him standing there.

I was so mad i could feel my anger running throught my whole body, of all people he was the one that I thought would understand me, but there he was pressuring me to go to the homecoming. I was so upset I didn't go to any other class I just went home.

The next few days were kind of horrible, Percy would try to talk to me but i wouldn't let him. My relationship with my dad was not really well either and Silena wanted to kill me because i didnt want to go to the homecoming.

I was siiting on the couch with Thalia watching some movies the day of the homecoming,at least I had found a person that felt the same way that I did about, well, thats what I thought.

"So... I have to go I'm already running late"

"What? Where are you going?"

"Well... I'm sorry, you're gonna hate me, but I'm going to the homecoming"

"Oh, thats ok" I said looking at the tv.

"Look I would stay with you, but Luke asked me to go with him and I said yes, actually i thought you would be going with Percy"

"It's ok, Thalia. I'll see you on Monday" i said before she left.

Percy's POV

I knocked the door at Annabeth's house and she opened it, she was wearing a green dress, she looked beautiful even more than when she was just wearing blue jeans and a t - shirt, she saw me and smiled.

"I'm sorry" she said hugging me.

"It's ok" I said before I gave her a little kiss on the lips. "So... You decided to come"

"Well... Actually I'm going because I'm helping Silena"

"Ouch" I said touching my chest with my hand dramaticly "And I thought you were going because of the company"

"Well... That helps a little" she said, climbing in her car.

The homecoming was just like I had expected, a lot of guys drinking and a lot of girls hooking up with the guys. Annabeth and I were dancing to some ridiculous song that talked about sleeping at a party or something like that

"I'm happy I came" she said in my ear.

"So am I" I said.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to face the guy, it was Connor Stoll and he was giving me a dirty look.

"What the hell?" I asked.

"No, you tell me what is going... I paid you to take her the homecoming so I could bring Silena but she is here with some guy called Beckadu or something like that" he yelled.

"What?" She yelled as well, but she seemed almost crying. "You.. You..."

"Annabeth, it's not what you think.."

"So... He didn't pay you to ask me out?" She asked angrily.

"He did but-"

"I hate you Percy Jackson!" She said running.

"Annabeth, wait" I said running after her.

"Leave. Me. Alone" she said.

"But-"

"Now I see why you were pressuring me to come to this stupid dance, you know, for a minute I thought you were different but you are just like Connor Stoll, a jerk" she said running to get out of there.

Annabeth's POV

One week after the homecoming I was in my bed, looking at the ceiling, I felt like crap, there was no other word, I couldn't believe he had done that. Silena entered in my room.

"You ok?" She asked after she sat on my bed.

"I dont know" I said sincerely.

"Annabeth, I'm so sorry" she said hugging me.

I hugged her as well and started crying on her shoulder. "Everything will be fine" she said.
