CHAPTER 3: FIGURING OUT ABPUT PROM AND BUYING DRESSES

Annabeths's Pov

As soon as I walked into school today, I had a poster shoved into my face by Piper. Piper was the daughter of Aphrodite, Jason's girlfriend and my best friend.

"Annie, PROM. Me and Jace are already going together. He did this dramatical thing with balloons and I was just so happy." Piper sighed. Before Annabeth could reply, Jason came. "Hey Beauty Queen" he said. He noticed me after he kissed Piper and greeted me too.

The bell rang and we all headed to class. I was wondering where Percy was. We had the first class together and he promised to come to school. I was checking the time when I ran into someone. "I am so sorry…" I started to say. I looked up in time to see Percy grin. My sorry look was replaced by the 'tell me where you have been look.' He shrugged innocently. "I decided it was time for us to hangout. Together, Alone. So, what do you say? I have a place." "Okay Perce, but not again" I said after a moment.

Percy led me to the park. 'Seriously Perce, the park was the good place you could find.' I thought. But I soon realized that he must have planned this from before as soon as I saw the park bench with the candles and the food.

I let out a sigh. I loved him. And everything he did for me. (We were talking and laughing all day.) I checked the time after a while and I realized that school ended an hour ago. "Percy, I had to meet Pipes, Hazel, Thalia and Tina for buying a prom dress. I need to go seaweed brain" I said. "And I need to get a tux." He replied sarcastically. I was getting up to leave when Percy grabbed my wrist. "Annie, wait, there's something I need to ask you…" He took out a small box from his pocket and kneeled down. "Will you go to prom with me, Wise girl?" "Yes" I replied without thinking. It was strange for a daughter of Athena not to think but hey when it came to Percy asking me to Prom, there was no thinking needed. He put the ring on my ring finger. It was greyish silver and had a stone in the middle that matched his eyes (It said 'I Love You Wise girl')

I rushed down to the shop and saw all of them waiting for me and the end of the street. As soon as I reached them, Thalia started groaning about how we should first get food then shop. Piper began asking if I was with Percy since I was l late. Rachel and Hazel were arguing about something. So, basically everyone was talking but me. Suddenly Rachel took my hand and Hazel yelped and pointed on my hand. Then Piper screamed bringing out her inner Aphrodite. "OH MY GODS ANNABETH, why didn't you tell me about this? Percy gave it to you right?" Piper shrieked. "Yes Pipes, you can stop shrieking now. And can we please go to buy a dress?" I replied, trying to imitate her shrieking, but my voice can't go that high!

We got Thalia her food (hamburger and fries with a drink) and went toward the closet shop for dresses. We found a gorgeous dress that went only till the knees. It was white with yellow and green flowers. We then went into a accessories shop and brought out a while pearl necklace. We were about to buy it but instead decided to get one made form Leo, matching for all of us. Then we went to another store where the girls picked out something for me and Hazel. I tried on a few but decided on a navy blue gown that reached the floor. For Hazel we picked a light blue dress just above her knees that had white patterns on it. We picked out a dress for Thalia in the next shop. It was midnight blue dress with glitter-sliver stars. We decided that she should were her tiara from Artemis as a sign that she was her lieutenant and her lightning bolt necklace form her dad.
