Annabeth's POV
As I got ready to go to dinner with that family, I thought about what James had said to me while Percy was gone.
*Flashback*
"Hello Annabeth."
I looked up. A boy no older than 13 was grinning at me as I sat, eating my pizza quietly while waiting for Percy to come back.
"Hello. Who are you, exactly?" I smiled uneasily, trying to remember if he was from camp.
"James Potter."
"James, how do you know my name?"
"I heard you and that guy talking. I figured you weren't Percy."
"That's correct. Percy is my boyfriend, and he should be back any minute now." I started looking for Percy. This was so awkward!
"Well, I'm happy to talk with you longer, if you want."
"No thank you James. I appreciate it, but I'm fine."
"He doesn't respect you. He has no manners!"
Was he talking about Percy? Alright, I agree he does chew with his mouth open from time to time, and talk with a mouthful of food every once in a while, but not nearly as much since we started dating!
"Do not talk about him that way. You don't even know him." I fired back, starting to get irritated. Who does this kid think he is?
"I- Call me!" He said as he was pulled away by his father. I was fire engine red in the face, and Percy was too, though I think his was in anger, not embarrassment.
I ignored the rest of the conversation until Mr. Potter came and apologized for James. We introduced ourselves and agreed to meet up for dinner.
*Flashback ended*
We were in the rental car, when suddenly someone with blonde shaggy hair and blue eyes almost hit us. Percy slammed on the brakes, honked loudly and muttered under his breath at the reckless driver.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the window and looked up from my book as Percy rolled it down.
"Sorry about that. We were in a hurry and I didn't even see you there. I apolo- Percy?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I bet you know who that is! Don't worry this is a double chapter so if for some STRANGE reason ou don't know, you find out!
