Enchanted

Annabeth's P.O.V

Ch.5 Blushing All the Way Home

"That sounds nice." I say as I take his hand and stand up. On our way to the dance floor I say, "But I warn you I'm not good at it, I'll be walking on your feet instead of the floor." I Joke and he laughs.

"You thought I meant real dancing! No I suck at that. I was hoping we could rock back and forth like penguins." He says as we face each other on the dance floor. I loosely wrap my arms around his neck and he rests his hands on my waist. We begin to rock side to side, and I'll admit, it made me feel a little bit like a penguin. But I forget about it because I continue our conversation. "So you said you sword fight. Are you going to do the sword fighting contest tomorrow?"

"If I do, will you come and watch? " He raises his eyebrow.

I sigh, "I would but I'm volunteering in the infirmary, Chiron is expecting a lot of injuries."

"Well then I might have to beat myself up to come see you." He says.

"I don't think you have to hurt yourself, I could watch during my brake, we would also see each other at lunch. And who knows maybe they will decide they won't even need me, in that case I might think about participating in the contest." I tell him hoping that he isn't being serious about hurting himself.

"That sounds like a better plan." He agrees, "Plus I would like to see you whip somebody's butt." I laugh, and when the slow song ends we let go of each other.

Percy looks over my shoulder then his eyes widen and his jaw drops. He quickly covers his eyes and I turn around to see what he was looking at (although I don't think he stopped watching.) What I see is terrifying. A group of Aphrodite girls (including Drew but not Piper) are dancing with their dates to the song that just started, Tik Tok by Kesha. The girls are all wearing matching black cocktail dresses that barley cover things that should definitely be covered. They are dancing moves that would get you kicked out of my house, and their dates aren't any better. One of them actually rips off his shirt and starts swinging it over his head.

Chiron comes trotting up to the wild group with a herd of harpies trailing behind him. He tries to talk to Drew but she doesn't listen, she starts unbuttoning Chiron's white suit jacket (which matches the horse half of him). He slaps her hand away and says something to the harpies while he re-buttons his jacket. The harpies start clawing at them and push them out the door; no doubt they will get lunch detention for the next month.

"Well that was…" I begin.

"Interesting." Percy finishes for me.

"Let's go outside." I suggest.

"Ya, it's getting kind of hot in here." He agrees.

We make our way to the double door's, which leads to a hall way, which leads to another set of doors, which takes you outside. As we make our way across the room, weaving through tables and mingling teens, people come up to say hi to Percy. Just the normal "Dude." Or "Bro, wazzup?" but it still makes me wonder why nobody says hi to me. At camp everyone seems to love me, oh well.

When we finally get to the door I see a small booth to the left, a sign tapped above it says 'Vote for this year's royalty' in sparkly golden letters. Below it in smaller letters it says 'Results will be posted in the lobby tomorrow afternoon.' A group of guys have just walked up and start talking to Percy, so while he's busy I decide to vote. Why not right?

On the table there is a stack of note cards, a pen, a box with a slit in the top, and a piece of paper that says:

Rules

Only vote once

Don't vote for yourself

Write first and last name

Please do not take our pen

Seems simple enough, I grab a note card and the pen. I write Piper Mclean, then Percy. But I need his last name, what is his last name?

"See you at the competition tomorrow Jackson!" one of the guys calls as they walk away. Yes! I cheer in my head, that must be his last name. I write it down and put it in the box. Percy comes up next to me and I turn away while he makes his votes. When he's done we walk outside.

"So who did you vote for?" Percy asks me.

I don't really feel like saying 'Oh I met you an hour ago but I voted you king!' so instead I say. "This one guy, this one girl, you know?"

"Fine then," he scoffs at me "I won't tell you who I voted for." He says jokingly.

"I wasn't going to ask." I say to myself. I really didn't want to know which of his dooshbag friends he voted king, or dumb Aphrodite girl he voted queen.

When we get outside it isn't raining anymore, but the sidewalk and benches are soaking wet, Zeus must have made it down-pour. I start to wish my dress isn't full length up to the knee would be much better, because even out here it is warm and I feel like I am burning in the fields of punishment. Not Tartarus, no, it isn't that intense. Percy must be feeling the same way because he takes off his suit jacket and hangs it over his shoulder. Sadly I can't hang the bottom half of my dress over my shoulder, maybe when I get back to the dorm I'll make some modifications to it.

We walk through the field of the OCC in silence. I pick up a few pieces of long grass and begin to weave them together. Then I pluck a daffodil and laugh to myself because Miranda would die if she knew I did that. In a few minutes I have something like a bracelet with a daffodil in the middle. I don't really know what to do with it because I don't wear bracelets and I doubt Percy would want it so I just hold onto it while we walk.

"Why do you think Zeus made it rain?" I ask.

"I don't know," Percy responds, "Maybe to give us our daily dose of drama."

"I think I've had way too much drama for today." I say trying not to sound grumpy about what happened in my dorm.

"Yeah…" He drags on but I interrupt by saying:

"That's not what I'm talking about, something else happened. I swear it made me madder than Apollo, when Hermes stole his holly cattle."

"But didn't Hermes make it up to Apollo by giving him a Lyre?" Percy asks.

"Well those idiots haven't made it up to me, and probably never will." I shrug my shoulders; I won't expect an apology from Aphrodite girls.

"What happened?" Percy asks. I sigh but eventually decide to tell him. Once I finish there is a long pause, then I say:

"It's getting late, I better get going."

I set down the bracelet I made on a stone that says 'In loving memory of Retina, Iris' loyally cat companion.' I begin to walk away, but I turn and say

"I had fun." And I smile.

"Me too." He says but he still sounds like he has a million things to say. I turn away a smile still on my face. I follow the stone path until I reach the side walk then I turn to look at him one last time, but he is talking to some girl with red frizzy hair. I know her name, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, but I just call her RED. The smile immediately drops from my face. I stand there for a minute to see what happens. She says something, he laughs. He says something, she laughs. She says something, he nods his head. She laughs and kisses him on the cheek. When she walks away, Percy looks towards the street and sees me.

My eyes widen and I feel myself blush. He walks towards me with a look on his face as if he wants to talk, but I don't give him the chance. I sprint down the street and don't stop until I turn the corner. From then on I can feel myself blushing all the way home.
