Chapter 12 Beauty and the Beast

PERCY POV

What was that phone call from Thalia all about? I still don't see what I did wrong! I broke up with Rachel and then asked Annabeth to Prom because I realized I really liked her instead of Rachel. And might I just say, my life was so much better without her. Anyways, girls just act up at the slightest things. Maybe I should just, give up girls all together! Wait, what am I saying? I must be going crazy from not having Annabeth around me. Maybe I should call her…. Yeah, I will! Right now!

I picked up my cell phone and dialed Annabeth's number. It ringed, and ringed, and soon it just went to the voice mail machine. I hung up, and put my phone away. Maybe, she had her phone turned off. Or maybe she is on a date with someone! Maybe, I'll just go find out where she is, that way I can talk to her face to face.

I grabbed my coat and car keys, and left a note for my mom saying I was out so she doesn't call the cops when she gets back from work and doesn't see me anywhere. That would be embarrassing!

I got into the car and sat for about three minutes. First thing I should probably know before I go anywhere. Where is Annabeth?

ANNABETH POV

Once I reached the mall with Thalia and Juniper, we straight away found a store that had perfect prom dresses called, Perfect Prom Dresses. It took us forever to find out if it really sold prom dresses! We walked inside and Thalia saw a row full of dark colored dresses, so she dashed over there. Then Juniper found green dresses in one corner of the store and sprinted over there. I was left alone, trying to find a decent dress. Then a worker came over to me and asked, "Can I help you with anything?" "Could you help me find a good prom dress to wear?" I asked. She looked over my body, and then waved her hand as if to say, follow me. I did as told, or showed, and I ended up in a corner full of blues, and grays, and browns. She moved her fingers over the rack as if playing a piano, then picked out a dress.

It was ocean blue with gold waves, and stopped at about my knee. From the waist down, there were small, light ruffles. It had a string to tie around my neck. It looked beautiful. I would definitely wear it but… it reminded me too much of Percy.

"I don't know…." I said drifting off.

"Go try it on, while I look for shoes." She said, demandingly.

I took the dress and walked into a dressing room as told. I slipped on the dress, and quickly tied it in a bow around my neck. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror. It really did look beautiful. It fit my curves perfectly, and flowed in just the right motion. I walked out of the dressing room to see Thalia and Juniper coming out of their dressing rooms too. Thalia had a black dress on that went down to her knees. In the middle of her dress were chains. At the top of the dress, it had a slight ruffle around the rim. Then to keep it up, there were black fish net gloves that went up to the side of the dress, to show her shoulder. It fit Thalia perfectly. She was also wearing, black high heels. But the heels were very short; it covered her toes and heels, and showed the rest of her foot. Then I saw Juniper, she had on a light green with faded brown fabric at the end of the dress, and at the top of a dress. She also had thin faded brown straps. She had on faded silver flats. She also had on a silver necklace that was almost like a choker, but it was thinner, and just a bit wider. They both looked so pretty!

Then the lady who helped me find my dress, appeared holding two things. A small, gold hand bag, and golden high heels. They had straps that would go right above my toes, and a strap that went around my heel, and the heels were just a bit bigger than Thalia's.

"I found these for you, try them on." She said sweetly.

I quickly put on the shoes, and then held on to the handbag.

"You look amazing Annabeth! I love that dress!" Juniper said, sweetly.

"I love yours too! The necklace is so cute!" I replied.

"Annabeth, I love the hand bag!" Thalia said.

"Thanks! I love your sleeves!" I said.

We all did basically that for about five minutes.

"Should we buy them?" I asked.

"DUH!" Thalia said, going back into her dressing room so she could change back into her normal clothes so she could pay for her dress. Juniper did the same, and so did I.

Once I got into my dressing room I straightened out the dress, as I looked myself over in the mirror. Then I took the dress off, and changed into my normal clothes. Denim jeans, a gray tee shirt, and thick black flip flops.

I put the dress back on the hanger than grabbed all the other things. I walked over to the counter and took out my wallet.

I found a $100.00 bill and handed it to her. I didn't even know I had that in there!

"Do you guys want to get a hot dog or something?" I asked Thalia and Juniper as we left.

"Sure." They both said.

We walked over to the food court and found a place with hot dogs. Once we payed for our hot dogs and chili fry, we found a good table.

When I was half way done with my hotdog, I saw someone.

Luke.

He walked over to our table and straight to me.

"Hey Annabeth." He said, smiling like an idiot.

Thalia and Juniper saw him and Thalia said, "Get you and your soon to be sorry butt out of here!" Juniper nodded crazily and Luke just ignored them.

"What do you want?" I asked, trying to make my voice sound harsh. Didn't work.

"I want you back. Come on, don't you remember how much fun we had together? Don't you miss it?" Luke asked me, taking my hand to add in the effect.

"I do miss it. I miss the way you kissed me. But, you cheated on me. You just didn't have enough. So that's your problem," I said, pulling my hand away. "Come on Thalia And Juniper. We should go now." I said, staring at Luke.

We walked away, holding our bags, and me having a shocked face 'cause of what just happened.

"Wait," I head Luke yell.

I turned around to see him two feet in front of me.

"Please," He said, getting closer to me.

I pushed him away, and he said, "Your having a Prom at your school right?" He asked.

I looked at him like he's a creepy stalker.

"I saw your bag. Let me go with you." He begged.

"What makes you think I'll say yes?" I asked, crossing my arms.

He stumbled upon his words, trying to think of an answer.

"Exactly." I said, turning back around.

He used his arm to turn me around and pulled me in for an abrasive kiss.

"Will you with me?" He asked once more.

"Fine." I said.

Doing that again makes me think of how good we were together.

He smiled, and walked away.

Juniper and Thalia were behind me with a worried look in their eyes. Obviously, they were worried about me.

"Well, looks like we all have a date for Prom." I said, trying to make a small joke.

Didn't work.

Okay, I'll try and write another chapter tomorrow. If not, I'll probably upload the next night. But I am making no promises because I never follow them!

Okay, how about this, if I get 10 reviews, I'll upload the next chapter as soon as I get the 10th one. Sound good?

Hope you liked it!
