Life in Song

Chapter 11 - Hey Soul Sister Part 3

Annabeth POV

I have to say, Percy did a good job in picking a place for a date. La Karema was beautiful. I still couldn't believe that I was actually here, though.

All of the sudden I felt really underdressed. I looked around, and fortunately most of the people in there were dressed similarly.

After about a minute, a waiter showed us to a table, and we sat down. After a few minutes of sitting in a comfortable silence and looking a menus, Percy broke the silence.

"So," he said, "do you like it?"

"Yeah, it-"

"Hello, my name is Thalia, and I'll be your server today. Can I get you anything to drink?" You have got to be kidding me. Thalia? I looked up.

She wasn't kidding.

"Thalia? What are you doing here?" Percy asked.

"I'm serving you! What does it look like I'm doing?" She asked, her voice full of sarcasm.

"I didn't know you worked here," I said.

"Oh, I don't."

"Then…why are you serving us?" Percy asked, and Thalia rolled her eyes.

"Silena's family owns this restaurant. She convinced her father to let us work here for the night, to 'prepare us for another possible job'. Silena's back in the kitchen," she said.

"Oh," Percy and I said simultaneously.

"Well…I'll have a Coke," Percy said, and Thalia scribbled that down on her notepad.

"I'll have a lemonade," I added, and she scribbled that on her notepad, too.

"Alright, well…you two enjoy yourselves!"

"…Well…that was interesting," Percy said. I shrugged.

"You know she thinks it's for the best," I told him. "Either that, or she loves to annoy you."

"Isn't she just the nicest?" I laughed, and he cracked a smile.

"Sure is!"

"So what are you getting?" He asked, gesturing towards the menu.

"Salmon. How 'bout you?"

"Steak," he answered.

"I'm back!" Thalia said in a sing-song voice, holding our drinks. "Lemonade for Annabeth, Coke for Percy."

"Thanks," I said.

"Is annoying me really that much fun?" Percy asked her, and she smiled.

"Yes, yes it is." With that, she turned and walked back into the kitchen.

The rest of the evening went by quickly, and even though Thalia was constantly checking in on us, it was an amazing night.

Really, I was just scared about school on Monday…

A/N It took REALLY long to type that. And I'm sorry to those of you who are kind enough to want this story to keep on going, well…don't worry, I'm not discontinuing, there are just two more chapters left, and seriously can not wait. I'm losing a lot of interest in this story, which is why it took me, what, over a week to write 300 some words? So sorry about that, but I have other stories, and new stories I want to write.
