III; Just for the food.
Annabeth hated this kind of thing, but of course she can't tell Piper she'd like to go home and being alone.
Piper's cousin, Lacy, is getting married, and Jason was unable to attend for some reason. Piper needs a date, and thankfully for her, Annabeth was there. Even though Annabeth wasn't too crazy about this whole marriage thing.
"Thanks for coming, Annie," Piper smiles, resting her hand on Annabeth's shoulder. Annabeth half-smiled. "Yeah, I'd rather not but–" Annabeth's sentences was cut off by Piper's word. "I hope you're having fun. This really means a lot to me."
Oh geez. How can Annabeth said that she wants to go home? Is there any polite way to tell her that she wants to go back to their apartment?
"I'm really sorry, but I must go to Lacy and greet her guests – you know she can't greet them all. You'll be fine on your own, right?" Piper asked, and Annabeth nodded. In a matter of second, she had lost Piper in the sea of people, and there's really nothing she can do except standing and being awkward. Actually, she could go to the dance floor, but it'd be much more awkward since she doesn't have a date and well, she's kinda terrible at dancing.
Piper made her wear this ankle length white dress and a silver high heels, and she also style her hair into a perfect curls. Annabeth thought she look good for a while, but now… Not anymore. The long dress and high heels is really a trouble. Her feet hurts and people keep stepping on her white – now dirty – dress. She couldn't see it, but she knew her hair is a mess too, because some kid yanked at it repeatedly because he thought it looks like noodle. What a terrific night.
She decided to sit on a bench, next to a couple taking pictures of each other. She knew they're annoyed she sat next to them, because they leave, which isn't a problem at all. She can let her leg rest.
It's a beautiful night, actually. It was an outdoor wedding, so she could see shining little stars and the beautiful bright moon. The wind is blowing gently on her face, and it freshen her up a bit.
Her stomach rumbled, and she realized she hasn't eaten anything since around 21:00, when the wedding started, and its almost 23:00 now. She gets up and walk towards the food.
Ah, the food. Probably the best thing that happened tonight. The wedding party kinda sucked because she doesn't know anyone, but at least there's food. Hopefully, good food.
As she makes her way to the foods, she noticed someone dressed in white shirt, with black hair… She recognized it but it can't be, right?
It can be. Yes, it was the same Frisbee throwing, mistake pizza delivery guy. Seriously, how many times will he randomly shows up in her life?
He seems to notice her too, but unlike her, his expression is calm and relaxed, like he's not surprised that she's here at all. "Oh, you again." He said, turning around while take a bite of his little blue cupcake.
"You again!" She hisses. "What are you doing here? How do you even know my friend's cousin?" She asked.
The guy shrugged. "I'm here for the food." He answered simply.
"What do you mean you – wait. Are you saying that you don't know anyone here? You just randomly shows up?" She asked. The guy nodded. "Yes, and I think you don't know anyone here either, so we're on the page." He said.
"Not true. I'm here with my friend Piper!"
"Yeah, well, she's not with you, so you're alone. Right?"
Annabeth don't even know what to say. Who crash someone's wedding to steal food? What kind of person did that?
"Anyway, you want this cupcake?" He offered. Annabeth shook her head. "No thanks. I'm eating healthy food." She said, more to herself than to him. "Wow, really? I have no idea, because I think we ate pizza and McDonalds together. And as far as I'm concerned, they're not healthy at all." He responded.
She wants to punch this guy's face.
"Yeah, well, I'm not eating a cupcake." She said firmly.
"Oh come on, its really good! How often do you find a blue cupcake?" He asked.
Annabeth can't help but chuckle. "Everyday, if I chose to walk past the bakery. Its been in this world probably longer than you have."
"I've never tasted anything quite like this." He continues to speak.
"It tastes like any other cupcakes, except its blue." Annabeth said,
"You try it then," he said.
Oh, what the hell. Just a small bite won't hurt.
She took a bite and… Its nothing like anything she has ever tasted. Caramel and vanilla mixed into one in the right amount, and the flavor exploded inside your mouth, and the blue icing tastes cotton candy.
"Oh yeah," She mumbled.
"And thanks for making me eat unhealthy food again, jerk." She lightly punched his arm, but he laughs.
"My pleasure."
