"Piper!" I say, laughing as she throws five different articles of clothing at me. "I am not going to that party!" 

"But Jason will be there! And I promised him that I would bring his friend a date. Now put this on." she says, throwing low rise blue jeans, a light blue crop top, and glittery sandels at me. I give in and put them on. 

"You owe me one, Pipes." I say, glaring at her. I rather be wearing sweats and watching Netflix. 

"Yeah yeah. Now let me do your hair and makeup." she says as she pulls out the scissors. 

"OH NO YOU DON'T. NO TOUCHING MY HAIR."  I scream. She sits me down and glares. 

"Let me cut your hair or I will kill you." Jeez. I sit down by the sink and she wettens my hair. She pulls out the scissors and starts snipping my ends. Well she better not do more than that. Then she moves to the front part of my hair and gives me curtain bangs. God what is she doing. She blow dries my hair, straightens it, curls the bangs, crimps some strands, adds tiny braids to it, and teases it. After that, she moves on to make up. She adds heavy pink blush, ultra-thin arches, silver body glitter, and high-contrast lip liner. She adds shimmery purple eye shadow and heavy eye liner. I look in the mirror and I actually look beautiful. I look at Piper and I see she is wearing a jean skirt, and a pink sparkly t-shirt with sparkly flipflops. 

"Wow. We look hot" I say.

"That is an understatement. Now let's go to the party."

"Where is it at?" I ask. There are several party dorms here, but which one are we going to.

"Wilson Hall."

"Oh, so not that crazy."

"Yep. Lets go." Piper says as she pulls me out the door. We walk across the park on our campus and enter Wilson Hall. I see a dark haired boy enter the hall along with a blonde. "Jason!" calls Piper. The blonde turns around and waves. "Wait up!" Piper calls as she grabs my hand and starts running toward the door. 

"Hey, I'm Jason" says the blonde. "And I assume you are Annabeth?" I nod. "And this is Percy."

"Hi nice to meet you." I say to Percy. I turn around to face Piper but she and Jason are already inside, making out on the couch. "So what do you want to do?"

"I don't know. I was kinda dragged along on this... I'm not really the party type."

"Ha same!" I laugh. "Hey wanna go to starbucks with me? "

"Sure. I really need some coffee" 

"Tough day?" I ask.

"That's an understatement. I saw my ex, Rachel, and she was engaged. And then I had an exam in Brunner's class, which I bombed. And THEN my essay for Dion's class got ripped up by Jason's pet dog, Aquila." Wow. Poor guy.

"Aww that stinks. And I just thought my day sucked because I was forced to come to this party."

"Well that does suck. Hey do you want me to drive? That's my ride." he says pointing to a blue Jeep Wrangler. 

"Sure." We get in the Jeep and start jamming to our favorite songs by Rihanna, Usher, Beyonce, and NSYNC. When 'I'm Yours' comes on, Percy starts singing and he takes my hand and squeezes it. When we arrive at the Starbucks, I feel a craving for a blueberry scone. 

"You know what sounds good?" Percy asks. "A blueberry scone."

"OH MY GOD SAME!!!"  I shout. It's like we can read each others minds. 

"I go in and get two. Be right back, Annabeth!" he shouts as he jogs up to the door. I sit there scrolling through my small cell phone when I get a text from Piper. 

PIPER: where r u

ME: starbucks w/ Percy. Sry I left party. Will call later

PIPER: k bye :)

When Percy gets back to the car, I smile. "Hey lets drive to the local park and eat there." I suggest.

"Great idea. Hey! wanna play 20 questions?"

"Sure. I'll go first. How old are you?"

"21. How old are you?"

"21. Next, where did you grow up?" I ask. 

"New York City. You?"

"San Francisco. Any siblings?" I ask as we pull into the park. We find a place to sit and unwrap our scones.

"1. Her name is Estelle and she is six years old. Now my turn. Do you want to kiss me?"

"Is that even a question? Of course I do, you seaweed brain." I lean over and kiss him, tasting the sugar on his lips. 

"Wow." I say as I pull back, gasping for air.

"That is an understatement."


LATER THAT NIGHT

"Percy! Piper will be here any minute." For the past hour, we have been eating pizza, watching Hunger Games, and kissing. "Put a shirt on!"

"I can't help it that I'm muscular!" he smirks. Ah so cute. 

"At least put a sock on the door. I don't want Piper walking in at the wrong minute."

"And what wrong minute would that be. Would that be when I do this?" He asks as he kisses my neck. "Or this?" He asks as he takes off my shirt. "Or this?" He unclasps my bra. 

"AHHHH. MY EYES!" squeals a voice. "USE A SOCK NEXT TIME!"
