A/N: Yes, I am aware that I rarely ever seem to update but you know what, I just did! So finally after much ado I present to you: CHAPTER 3! (Oh and this a total moment ruin-er but, I DON'T OWN ANYTHING) Da Da Da DAAAAAA!

CHAPTER 3

Finally! The Day Has Arrived! Ugh! I sound like a total girl but I have spent just over 5 hours with Christina so I am really NOT to blame. She showed up at my place at about 1:00 pm, uninvited. In her defence she came bearing gifts. She brought, according to her, everything a girl needs to look AH-MAZ-ING for prom. She was absolutely mortified that I didn't have all this stuff from before at thanked the gods that I was smart enough to ask for her help.

She carried with her 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' and a pizza. We sat down and watched the movie just chatting and enjoying ourselves. When we had finished watching the movie I asked her, " Is that it? I mean is that all I need to do to look good for prom?" She looked at me as if I had appeared from Narnia then proceeded to remove a, WAIT FOR IT, coupon for free hair, makeup AND mani-pedi.

I wondered how she obtained that jewel . She told me that her mom had felt sorry for me and didn't want Percy to suffer because of my illiteracy and so had given Christina the coupon. So then we went to the salon and, well, we had a ball.

First I had a mani-pedi done. I spent a good amount of time picking out the colour of my nails and finally settled on a classic black. My feet were done the same colour. I was then sent to the hair spa. There my hairdresser Peggy asked me what I wanted to do with my hair. I had settled on a simple blow dry to make it straight. She 'Pshh'-ed me and said I was too boring. She then suggested something called a half up half down style. Her description of the style sounded good so I agreed to it. She then got to work while Christina and I sat side by side flipping through magazines and chatting.

I was then shoo-ed away and my face was covered in a mud mask and my eyes with cucumbers. After it was washed Jenna, my makeup artist, started by putting a foundation that matched my skin tone. She then moved on to my eyes and then finally finishing off with my lips.

I then went home and changed into my dress and shoes. That's when I realized I had forgotten to buy accessories. I couldn't go and buy accessories now so I did the next best thing. I prayed to Aphrodite for help. After approximately 20 minutes of begging I was rewarded with a simple yet stylish necklace with a teardrop shaped pendant and a black clutch.

I was then ready to go and I sat down to wait for Percy to come to pick me up. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he saw how I looked.

A/N: End of chapter 3. Chapter 4 is going to be Percy's point of view. It should be up in a few more days, I swear. No cheating this time. And thank you to percabethfanlover for your idea. Hope you guys like it. R & R. +) Annabeth's dress, shoes and hair in my profile :)
