Annabeth's Pov

Chapter 2

Percy pulled into Johnny Rockets parking lot and found a spot close to the building. I walked in with him by my side and chose a booth near the back.

"So, how did not blowing up the school going?" I asked. I knew that he just moved to a different school. He had been trying hard not to blow it up and was doing an exceptional job at it.

"Good. No fires yet. How about you?"

"Same. Its been tough and Karly has be outright mean though."

"Oh! Karly? Sikes? I was talking to her outside your school. She seems like a nice person."

"Percy," I sighed in frustration. This boy should really know this stuff by now. He is hit on by the whole Aphrodite cabin and he doesn't even know it. "Of course she was nice! She was hitting on you."

Percy looked like he was about to argue but the waiter stopped him by saying, "Hello, my name is Kyle," He leaned over to me, when he was at my eye level and about 5 inches away from my face, he asked in a seductive tone, "Do you see anything you like?"

Percy looked about ready to kill this guy. His nostrils were flaring and he glared daggers at Kyle. But Kyle either didn't notice or he just didn't care. "Yes, I do." Kyle smiled and smirked at Percy, "I think I like… the regular burger with fries and a chocolate milkshake."

Kyle's smiled faded rather quickly. Now it was Percy's turn to smirk at him smugly. "I'll have what my girlfriend is having."

Kyle grumbled as he walked away to put in the order. I turned to Percy and raised an eyebrow. "See? That is exactly what it looks like."

"You looked like you were actually giving into him."

"You always look like you give in to the girls, Seaweed Brain." I said, annoyed.

He looked down at his lap as the food arrived and mumbled, " I don't give in."

After dinner, Percy took me back home. I stopped him on the front porch. He looked confused but he didn't question it. He left and I walked inside to see the twins on the ground playing with some new toy that they got.

"Hey, guys, where's dad?"

"In his office working on his airplane model, where else?" Bobby said. He seemed annoyed that I interrupted him.

"Hey dad." I said as I entered the room.

He turned around and his expression turned from concentrated to happy. I smiled because he was actually choosing to care for now. I hugged him and he asked me, "How did you get home? You're early."

I was confused. I was picked up early by Percy and taken to dinner. If I was anything, it was late. I looked at the clock and it said that it was 1:30. I got out of school at 3:00.

I sighed. "Dad, the clock is broken. I came home with Percy."

"What? With Percy? Who is he?"

"My boyfriend. I told-"

"Boyfriend!" He stood up all of a sudden and he looked mad.

"Yeah. I told you in august, when we first got together." I tried to reason.

"Did he try anything funny, did he?"

"No! He's amazing. He doesn't do that." I said, astounded that he would think Percy could even be capable of something like that.

"I'm meeting this Percy and making sure that he knows his boundaries. Now go upstairs and do your homework." He said sternly and pointed upstairs.

"But dad!" I tried.

"Upstairs!" He answered, "We'll have him over Friday for dinner."

'Ooh yeah, that should be fun.' I thought as I went upstairs and shut my door.
