ON WITH THE SHOW!

..:..:..

Nico, Annabeth and I went to our Math, and nothing eventful happened. Same with Civics. Boring, except that Travis and Connor were cracking jokes that made us all laugh. At lunch, we all sat at our big table. Luke was late. I wanted to see who he was dating. Curiosity killed the cat, right? Well I'm definitely the cat here.

Finally, I saw Luke crossing the cafeteria. He was strolling leisurely, a confident smile on his face. His arm was around the shoulders of a girl our age. She had long caramel colored hair in a braid that fell over her left shoulder. She was pretty, with large almond eyes and an innocent smile. Luke joined us and with a flourish, introduced her.

"Guys, this is my girlfriend, Calypso." Luke grinned.

"Callie." She rushed to say. Her cheeks tinged red and she looked down.

"Callie?" Thalia inquired.

"I prefer Callie. Calypso is... it's just an odd name." She said softly.

"It's pretty!" Bianca clapped her hands together. "I'm Bianca. This is my brother Nico," she pointed to Nico, who was beside Thalia. "That's Thalia, Grover, Juniper, Annabeth, and Percy."

"Hi." Callie smiled tentatively and gave us a small wave. We all chorused "hey" and waved back. Callie met each of our eyes, but let her gaze linger on me. I smiled at her, not thinking much of it. Her eyes darted away. I shrugged it off and turned to Annabeth, striking up a conversation. Her chair was as close to mine as possible and we were leaning towards each other. I stared into her grey orbs as she responded, smiling.

"What?" she murmured, a smile on her lips as well.

"Nothin'. Just listening to you." I told her.

"You're funny." She gently pushed me.

"Percy?"

I turned to see who had called my name. Calypso was looking at me intently.

"Yeah?"

"How did you hurt your arm?"

"Oh. Long story. I punched a stone wall." I laughed.

"That wasn't too long." She giggled.

"I simplified it for you." I joked.

"Well thank you." She smiled.

"Anytime." I grinned before returning to Annabeth. She shook her head at me and took a piece of my sandwich before popping it in her mouth.

Conversation resumed. Bianca started talking excitedly with Callie while Luke ate his lunch. He kept his arm around her.

"She seems nice." Annabeth mused.

I nodded.

"What are you doing after school?" she asked, a faint smile on her face.

"Coach wants me to come to the swim meet." I sighed. "Sorry."

"No problem-I was just wondering." She waved me off.

"Okay. Some other time?" I took her hand in mine. Her face lit up.

"Of course."

"Hey guys! I have a great idea!" Juniper suddenly announced. We all looked at her.

"Let's have a triple date!"

"A what?" I said.

"A triple date. Like a double date but with another couple. God, Percy. Use your head." Thalia snapped.

"Yeah! Me and Grover, Luke and Callie and Percy and Annabeth!" Juniper exclaimed.

"Really?" Luke rose his eyebrows.

"Sure! Why not?" Annabeth agreed.

"Okay." I shrugged.

"A'ight." Grover said.

"Honestly, Grover," I sighed. "You and your slang."

"Shattup foo!" he stood up, did some weird swagger movement, grabbed his crotch again and gave me the finger. "You jealous of my bumpin' body and mah face!"

"Calm down, 50 Cent." I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief. "You are ridiculous."

Meanwhile, everyone else couldn't breathe because they were laughing so hard. When they recovered, Juniper took Grover's hand and pulled him down into his seat.

"I think that we should go to the movies!" Juniper bounced up and down.

"See? Even mah girl got sum swaggah!" Grover made some wild arm movements.

"Grover. Shut up." Thalia rolled her eyes.

"... A'ight."

We all laughed and Juniper continued. "So as I was saying, we should go to the movies! I heard that The Social Network is good! And it sounds cool! We're all on Facebook anyway-"

"Let's see Paranormal Activity 2!" Luke grinned, leaning forward.

"Yeah!" Grover and I agreed readily.

"Noo!" Callie covered her face and ducked her head."No scary movies! No scary movies!"

"C'mon!" I laughed. "Scary movies are the best!"

Callie peeked at me. "No." Her voice was muffled. "They're really not."

"Okay, how about Jackass 3D?" Annabeth offered.

I turned and stared at her.

"What?" she rose her eyebrow.

"You're awesome." I said simply and kissed her on the lips. When I pulled away she was blushing.

"Sounds good to me!" Luke clapped his hands together once.

"Okay, I guess." Callie agreed.

"Totes." Grover said.

"Sur- wait. Totes?" Juniper questioned.

"Totes. Slang word for totally? DUH." Grover rolled his eyes.

"I have the weirdest boyfriend." Juniper smiled and pecked him on the cheek. Grover just grinned.

"It's settled then!" Luke said. "How about tomorrow after school?" We all agreed on the time and place. Annabeth and I would get a drive from my mom.

"I'm excited." Annabeth whispered to me, a grin on her face.

"Me too." I took her hand. Her cheeks tinged pink again. "What? You don't want me to take your hand?"

"No!" she said loudly. Everyone stopped talking and stared. She laughed nervously and waved at them. "Continue! No big deal!" When they went back to their conversations, she turned to me and said softly, "No, that's not it at all. It's just that I'm not used to it. I like it. It's... it's sweet." She smiled shyly at me.

I smiled back. "Okay. Well get used to it." I winked at her. She squeezed my hand and I returned the gesture.

I think that we're going to be happy for a while. I thought with that weird happy swelling feeling in my throat.

Then again, I didn't know what was going to happen in the next 48 hours that would change my mind.

..:..:..

The Next Day

..:..:..

After school, Annabeth and I walked to my house. Our hands were swinging casually between us as we made our way down the road and up my front steps. My mom let us in, a sweet smile upon her face. She told me that she actually likes Annabeth better than Rachel and I heartily agreed. She did tell me that she still felt it was too early to have another girlfriend so soon though.

"Hi, Ms. Jackson." Annabeth greeted her.

"Hi, Annabeth. Would you two like something to eat or drink before we go?" Mom asked.

"I'm fine, thanks." I said.

"Me too. Thank you though, Ms. Jackson."

"Please, call me Sally." She smiled.

"I'll try." Annabeth nodded.

"Alright. Well shall we go?" Mom picked up her car keys and jingled them.

..:..:..

Mom dropped us off at the front steps where Luke and Callie were already waiting. She waved and drove off. The sun had started to set so it was beginning to get a little dark.

"Hey, doveloves!" Luke tossed his hands up in the air. He was wearing a tight black shirt and jeans with white Adidas.

"What?" I rose my eyebrow.

"I think he means lovebirds." Annabeth whispered to me. "And I think that he's drunk."

I immediately agreed with her the moment I saw the small bottle swinging from his hand.

"Seriously, Luke? Can you just put away the alcohol for a while? Don't you realize that it's bad for you?" I scolded him.

Callie just giggled. And giggled. And giggled. And she kept giggling.

"Great. You drank too, didn't you?"

She just giggled.

"Wonderful." Annabeth sighed.

"Lighten up, will yah?" Luke slurred. "S' all good! I'm good at pretending to be sober! Look!" He straightened up, furrowed his brow and held his hand towards me. "Two tickets for Jackass 3D-heeheeheehee!" he cracked up when he made the 'dee' sound.

"Yeah. Super slick. Real legit. You'll get through no problem. You're so lucky that you don't smell of booze." I said critically.

"Cah-maaan, Perce!" he slugged me in the shoulder, which actually smarted. He then proceeded to shove the bottle in my mouth. I choked on the liquid that splashed into the back of my throat and spat it out onto the ground.

"That's really attractive, Jackson." A voice sneered. I coughed up a lung before looking up. Clarisse La Rue, one of the most arrogant and hot-tempered girls I've ever known, was staring at me with a look of disdain.

I tried to snap something at her but I started hacking up my liver instead.

"C'mon, Chris." Clarisse rolled her eyes and walked away, her hand intertwined with Chris Rodriguez's. "I'm not letting Cancer Patient over there ruin my date at the movies."

Cancer Patient? Because I'm coughing? Really? I thought, annoyed as I regained my breath.

"See you guys later!" Chris laughed.

"What movie are yah seein'?" Luke called.

"Paranormal Activity 2!" Chris yelled back as they went inside. We saw him pull his hand away and do a quick pelvic thrust at us through the glass doors. Clarisse's face burned as she grabbed him and pulled him out of our line of sight.

"Percy, are you okay?" Callie was suddenly right there, her eyes huge and doe-like as she peered up at me. I was still bent over, so she was squatting. Two things made me uncomfortable: one-she was wearing a skirt and didn't seem to remember that. Two- she was wearing a lacey beige top and from my point of view I could see down her shirt pretty well. I stood up quickly and nodded, massaging my throat.

"Are you sure? Are you okay? Sure?" she asked repeatedly, not blinking. I widened my eyes and stepped back.

"I'm good." I said hoarsely. Annabeth was by my side in a second, smiling at Callie.

"He's good." She said sweetly but firmly. Callie just stared at me, her eyes as large as saucers. It was creeping me the fuck out. I mean, she's really nice. But she was. Creeping. Me. Out.

"GROVER, MAH BRUTHA FROM ANOTHA MUTHA!" Luke crowed. He slung his arm around the newly arrived Grover, who's green rasta cap slid off his head with the force of Luke's one-armed hug.

"Uh, bro- nice breath." Grover fake-coughed. Luke responded by burping and blowing it into Grover's face.

"AW, MAN, SERIOUSLY? DUDE. THAT'S JUST PLAIN NAAAAAASTY." Grover complained, picking up his hat and waving it in front of his face. Luke just shit his pants laughing.

Juniper walked over to Callie, Annabeth and I. "Um, is Luke drunk?"

"Yep."

"Well that explains it."

"Callie too." Annabeth stated.

"No way. Callie?" Juniper exclaimed.

Callie turned and stared at her like she had me. Then she started giggling all over again. Juniper looked like she wanted to hit Luke, which would be funny because she's so small and he's so built.

"INSIDE WE GO!" Luke charged forward, pocketing the small bottle of vodka into his back pocket. He took Callie by the waist and tossed her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! LUKE! SKIRT!" Callie shrieked, desperately flailing her arms.

"Oop. Right." He put her down quickly. I just shook my head and followed them up the stairs and into the theatre. The smell of popcorn and nachos floated into my nostrils. I took a deep breath and let it out. I saw kids playing in the game corner and a small line for tickets. I sent Luke, Grover and Juniper to get snacks while Callie, Annabeth and I got the tickets. Callie was less obvious, at least.

We all met up at the snack bar and then proceeded to theatre 9. The guy stopped us and slowly evaluated us as he ripped off a part of our ticket and gave us back our stub. I just smiled at him and moved fast so he wouldn't suspect anything. We actually (somehow) made it inside. We took our seats and settled in. Juniper and Luke were at either end. Next to Juniper was Grover, then Annabeth then me, then Callie then Luke. I love the middle. If I sit on the sides, I feel off balance.

Before the movie started, though, Luke offered that little bottle.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie. I got just a little tipsy.
