Hello fabulous Percy Jackson Fan-friends! Two chapters in a day (lucky you!). This is a much better chapter than all the others, I've finally found my swing ya know? Hopefully the rest of the story will be like this. Quite long, making up for the other short and pathetic chapters! On we go:

Soon both teens were in their cars, dressed suitably (in Annabeth's case) and looking a bit of a mess (in Percy's case). For some unknown reason, both had a severe case of butterflies, and neither could hold the grin off their faces. Though neither of them knew it, they were about to meet their sole mates, and these were the symptoms.

Thalia parked the car a few minutes walk away from the café. Annabeth wouldn't stop complaining the entire walk because Thalia and Rachel had dressed her extremely stupidly. Her blue heels were 3 inches high and after walking for a few seconds had already started to rub. Her dress was extremely short, and Thalia wouldn't allow her to wear tights with it. It was also very low cut, and Annabeth felt that if she moved a muscle in her body, it would fall down and she would be left in the street wearing only her underwear. Again, Thalia wouldn't allow her to wear anything other than a thin lace cardigan, and so Annabeth arrived at the café wobbling and almost toppling over because of her heels, and shaking like a leaf because of the dress and useless cardigan combo. Despite all this, however, Aannabeth looked amazing. The few brush strokes of eyeshadow brought out her wild grey eyes, and a tiny bit of contour made her lips (coloured maroon) stand out perfectly.

Thalia led her to a table and told her to sit.

"I need to make a call. I'll be back in a second."

Annabeth waved her off and started messaging Rachel, who, for some weird reason, had decided not to come. She was so glued to her phone, that she didn't notice a strange gang of boys walk up to her table and sit down. At least, not until one of the boys bumped into her as he walked off. She looked up and saw an unknown guy fiddling around with some sort of scarf that was wrapped around his eyes. He cursed in some sort of language that she couldn't hear because he was talking so quietly, but she could have sworn it was Ancient Greek. No, she thought to herself, he isn't a demigod. I would know of him if he was.

Finally, the strange guy manage to untangle his face from the scarf, and he looked thoroughly annoyed. As soon as he saw Annabeth, however, his face turned to surprise, and after he got over his initial shock, embarrassment. Annabeth's face had changed in a similar way. At first she looked annoyed, (this boy had just come out of nowhere and sat down next to her!), then shock, (as she realised that after seeing him for under a minute she had a massive crush on him) and finally embarrassment, (because she had blushed - the great Annabeth Chase, blushing?!).

She studied him. He had black, wind swept hair that could have looked great, but was ruffled and messy (which Annabeth thought was really cute) and was wearing baggy jeans, trainers that looked like they had been through a mine field and a plain black t-shirt. His skin was quite tanned as if he had been working out in the sun. He smiled sheepishly.

"I, uh, sorry? My friend..." He stuttered and turned red.

"It's fine, don't worry. I'm not really sure where my friend is, she's been ages on the phone." But when Annabeth looked out of the window, Thalia had gone. "Dammit! I think my friend tried to, uh, set me up?"

The boy laughed. "Nico's been trying to set me up with someone for ages" He rolled his eyes.

Annabeth yelped. "You're single?!" She squeaked.

He held out his hand. "Pleased to meet you too. I'm Percy..." He spoke confidently, exactly the opposite of how he had sounded a minute before. "And you're sure you're single?" He added with a cocky smile.

Annabeth laughed. "Sorry, it's just... I try to avoid single boys...! I'm Annabeth by the way."

"Well, Miss Annabeth. I believe this is what flirting is?"

"I believe so, Sir Percy, and not too shabby either!"

At that moment, every eye in the café turned to them. The eyes were red.
