Meet Percabeth- Part 15

Percy stood at the door, hands stuffed in the pockets of his jeans. It was the Chases' annual New Year's party, and Annabeth had practically begged him to come out.
'Please, Seaweed Brain? I'm going to be surrounded by a bunch of my Dad's mortal friends, and he's already making me leave Camp early to go to his stupid party. Please come?'
Eventually, she had worn him down, and he had promised his girlfriend that he'd attend the party. Percy wasn't really looking forward to it; Dr. Chase was okay, but he didn't like that his "baby girl" had a boyfriend. Mrs. Chase adored Percy, and the twins were always interrogating him, with questions about his and their half-sister's relationship.
Bobby answered the door, a grin on his face, "Hey Percy! I guess Annie finally convinced you to come."
Percy smiled at the twelve-year-old, "Yeah, she did. So, where's your sister?"
"Oh, she's in the back. I'll bring you to her!"
Percy followed Bobby back into the Chases' house, ignoring the stares from several of the guests.
Bobby opened the door to Dr. Chases' office, where a group of middle-aged men, Dr. Chase included, are surrounding his girlfriend, enthusiastically asking her questions about the one-year-early scholarship she received to Columbia University.
Yeah, that's right; his girlfriend would be a freshman in college next year. While he was a senior. Annabeth just loved to rub that in his face.
While Annabeth enjoyed talking about her scholarship, she looked a bit overwhelmed,
"Yes, it's a full scholarship. No, they don't offer them very often, like one student every couple years."
Gray connected with green, and a large smile broke out on the blonde's face, "Percy!"
Bobby muttered something about getting more food, and left the room.
Annabeth pushed through the crowd of businessmen, wrapping her arms around Percy's neck, whispering, "Oh, thank the gods."
He hugged her around the waist, "Hey Wise Girl!"
Annabeth pulled back, lacing her fingers into Percy's, "Dad, Percy's here. I'm going to go."
Dr. Chase nodded, and the couple left, with cries of "Good to meet you, Annabeth!" and "Goodbye!" coming from his friends.
After the demigods had slipped out of the room, Dr. Brandon Schmitz, a co-worker of Frederick, asked, "Who was that?"
Dr. Chase flapped his hand in a nonchalant manner, "That was Annabeth's boyfriend, Percy."
Another co-worker raised an eyebrow, "Do you think that's wise? Wouldn't a boyfriend be a distraction from her studies?"
Frederick shrugged, "It hasn't affected her grades so far. And they've been dating for two years. Anyways, Percy's a good kid; not much in the education department, but he's good to Annabeth. Besides, she's almost eighteen. She can make her own decisions."
Dr. Reed, a large, hearty man, chuckled, "Oh, Frederick... My daughter, Lilly-Anne, isn't allowed to date until she has at least a bachelor's degree. It may seem harsh, but it's guaranteeing that she has no distractions. Annabeth, on the other hand, is likely to stray from her academic path."
"Well," Dr. Chase scoffed, "has your daughter already been accepted into a university? Does she have a job designing for one of the biggest companies in the world?"
"What company?" another man asked.
The blonde professor's eyes widened, "Um... Olympus Industries! She's the head architect, in charge of designing their new visitor's center," he lied, making a job up on the top of his head.
The other's seemed to buy it, and Frederick was relieved. Dr. Reed didn't know what he was talking about, anyways.
