Chapter 17 Finally, Prom
Annabeth walked in to Prom, and saw her work. Small, and big, sparkly yellow stars filled the ceiling, the disco ball made the whole room shine, a large table stood in the back full of snacks, chips, punch, you name it!
Thalia and Nico went to the middle of the gym as soon as a punk rock song came on. Grover and Juniper just walked to get some punch until a song they were interested in would come on.
Then, Annabeth saw one person, out of everyone. Percy. He stood in a corner, with a black tux on and holding a rose.
"Want some punch?" Luke asked Annabeth.
"Sure," Annabeth said, not really listening.
Annabeth walked over to Percy quickly, mainly to ask why Rachel wasn't with him.
"Hey Annabeth, listen, there's something I need to tell you." He said rapidly, as soon as Annabeth was within seven feet from him.
"And why should I listen to you?" Annabeth asked, crossing her arms.
"Because, it's important. Don't say anything, I'm going to tell you," Percy started, "Rachel found out about Luke being your old boyfriend, and she payed him to ask you to Prom, so that I'll be so jealous that I would let Rachel go to Prom with me." Percy finished quickly.
"Why on earth, should I believe you?" Annabeth asked, loosening her grip on her arms a little bit.
"Because Luke is here." Percy said.
Annabeth should've felt hurt, but she didn't. She let her arms dangle. She knew all along that Luke didn't come just because he missed her. But she just wouldn't let herself believe it.
Luke walked up to Annabeth with the punch in his hand, the look on his hand showed that he knew that she knew.
"Here Annabeth," He said, handing her the punch.
Annabeth walked away from Percy with Luke for a moment.
"Listen Luke, I know about the whole deal. Don't try and act like you don't know what's going on." Annabeth said, stumbling across her words.
"Annabeth, I'm sorry about the whole thing. But, please give us a third chance!" Luke pleaded.
"Luke, I can't date you. I realize, again, that I like Percy. I'm sorry. You're a somewhat good guy. Why don't you go ask Rachel if she wants to dance? You two seem cute. Bye Luke." Annabeth turned around, not letting Luke reply.
Annabeth walked back to Percy, and smiled.
"Thanks Percy. I'm sorry I've been such a… jerk. I should've believed throughout everything. Forgive me?" Annabeth asked.
Percy smiled and said, "Yes. Want to dance?"
Annabeth nodded, and let Percy guide her to the dance floor.
She smiled, as her and Percy danced.
Then, she looked around, she saw Luke and Rachel dancing, Thalia and Nico dancing, and Grover and Juniper dancing.
This is her dream Prom. Sort of.
All the feelings are exactly how they are supposed to be.
The End.
