First Date

Annabeth's POV

I was really nervous about my date with Percy. I didn't want to screw everything up, like I usually do, and I didn't want to reassure myself that it would be fine because I didn't want to jinx it.

Another problem was that I didn't know what to wear. We were just getting pizza and then maybe catch a movie. I shouldn't wear a dress or skirt because I would be sitting and everyone would see up my skirt.

After about a half an hour of ripping apart my entire wardrobe, I settled on stonewashed jeans and a light green tank top with Mickey Mouse on it. I grabbed my wallet and jammed my phone, chap stick, and a twenty dollar bill in it.

Now I had to put on makeup. I actually didn't have to put it on, but I wanted to look neat and pretty for my date. I didn't want to overload so I put on a light coat of black eyeliner on the end of my eyelids and my waterline, and I brushed on some mascara.

I gazed at myself in my small mirror; pictures of owls, my favorite animal, and myself were tucked into the sides, leaving a little bit of the small mirror left. Something was missing. I sprayed of a little bit of pink sugar perfume. Hmmm, I thought, no, still not right.

Then I realized that my hair looked as if a raccoon made a nest and died in it. I yanked a brush through my hair, trying to tame it. My curls just wouldn't stay put. I whipped out my purple flat iron and began ironing away. It took a little longer than I wanted it to, because when I was finished, I only had ten minutes before I met Percy.

I did another quick brush through my, now straight, hair and grabbed my wallet off my yellow dresser. I stumbled downstairs and threw my navy Toms on and ran out the door. I decided to take my dad's car; I sure hoped he didn't need it anytime soon.

I shoved the key into ignition and slowly backed out of the driveway, checking in my rearview mirror as I left. It took seven minutes to get to Pierre's Pizza, the local pizza restaurant where we were meeting.

I hopped out of the jeep and sprinted into the restaurant. It was around seventy degrees and smelled like cheese and various spices. I spotted Percy on his phone, patiently waiting, at a nearby table, dodging waiters and waitresses carrying pitchers of water and pizzas.

"Hey," I breathed while plopping down across from Percy. He looked up and smiled. "Glad you could make it." he joked. I let out a small laugh. "So," he started, "After dinner would you want to catch a movie, or something?"

That sounded like the best plan I'd heard all day. "That'd be awesome." I replied, "What are you into, horror, drama, comedy, romance?" He put his hand in his chin and thought. "I think I'm more of a comedy kind of guy." he responded, "I'm always up for a good laugh."

I was glad he liked comedy; it was my favorite genre next to romance. "I like comedy too." I jabbered, "How about The Dictator, I haven't seen it and it got awesome reviews.

Percy smiled and nodded. "That would be fantastic." he said. I scooted my chair back a little to adjust my legs so I could stretch them out more under the table, but it wasn't my best idea. The chair bumped into a nearby waiter who was carrying not one, two, or three, but four pitchers of water on a single tray.

He slipped and fell to his butt, water splashing all the tables within a two yard radius. I froze, my mouth agape. I thought Percy would leave me right then and there, but he did the opposite.

It was silent for a couple of excruciatingly long second before Percy burst out laughing. But he wasn't laughing at me, he was laughing at the scene in general. The soggy waiter on his ass, soaking costumers dripping with icy water, and the plastic pitchers lying on the floor.

Before I knew it, I was laughing too. We both howled with enjoyment for a minute before the waiter scowled at us and we quickly scrambled to pick up our stuff and ran out the double door entrance.

As soon as we were halfway down the block from the restaurant, we sat down on a wooden bench with a small engraving that said; FOR KATIE. We panted for a minute and watched the clouds before Percy asked, "How about that movie?"

Percy's POV

I paid eight dollars for both me and Annabeth's tickets. We ordered a large popcorn to share, since we never got to eat dinner, and sat in the back corner of the theater. (A/N: I think you know what's going on ;) )

As the movie continued, we got closer and closer. We snuck in pecks on the lips every ten minutes. By the last half hour, Annabeth was on my lap. I could see people turn around and glance at us, but I didn't care.

When the credits played, Annabeth scooted off me and we lightly clapped. Well, and we kissed again. We stood up and threw out our empty cups and the large popcorn that was gone because half of it was on the floor after we attempted to pop it into each other's mouths.

"Can you wait a minute?" I told Annabeth, "I have to go to the bathroom." She nodded and leaned against the wall across from the boy's bathroom, pulling out her phone.

I pushed the door open and was astounded to see Rachel standing in front of me. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked her. She just smiled and walked closer. "We belong together." she started.

Uh-oh, I thought, Is she going to be one of those psycho ex-girlfriends who follows you everywhere? "Can't you see it? Can you see the vision in your mind?" I backed away. "I don't want to be with you." I stated, "I even have a new girlfriend."

Rachel snorted. "You mean that Annabeth girl?" she shrieked, "She doesn't even count as a girl!" I was done with her, I didn't want to see her face again. "Listen, Rachel." I said, "I'm done with you. We're over!" I turned to the door. "Oh," I added, "By the way, you're in the boy's bathroom."

She rolled her eyes. "This is the girl's bathroom, moron." Then she strolled out the door.

A/N: I hope you liked it! It wasn't as long as I wanted it to be, but it's ten thirty and I need to go to bed. Please review and favorite! And don't forget to follow!
