chapter 11

Today was the day of Jason's party, and Percy had his entire plan set up. Hopefully, it would work.

Apparently, Jason and his sister had a party every beginning of the month to celebrate a new month, and since today was December first, well, Percy knew the date wasn't picked at random.

Percy was wearing ripped jeans, with a Led Zeppelin t-shirt. He liked the style.

There was a knock on Percy's door. "I got it!" he yelled to his mom, checking the time on his phone. It was 9:13.

"Percy, please make good decisions at the party," Sally, his mom, stated.

Percy rolled his, eyes. "Mom, you tell me that every time, and have I ever been caught by the cops? No. Now, I gotta party to attend to."

He kissed his mom's cheek, told her that he'd be home at 1:00 a.m. at the latest and that he loved her.

He opened the door to see Annabeth's face. "You ready, Seaweed Brain?"

Percy smiled. Annabeth looked beautiful. She was wearing a white blouse with high-waisted black shorts. Her hair was in a braid, Katniss Everdeen style, and honestly, Percy really hoped that Leo wouldn't see it, or he'd probably challenge Annabeth to a duel or something. For some reason, Leo liked to rival her, always stating that Katniss wasn't the first one fire.

"You bet, Wise Girl," Percy replied. Annabeth smiled, and led him to Luke's car, in the dark of night.

Percy got into the back seat, while Annabeth sat in shotgun, and Luke, being the driver, of course, sat in the driver's seat. According to Luke's GPS, they'd get there at 9:34, 4 minutes after it'd have started.

"Hey, Annie?" Luke asked Annabeth. "When does this party end?"

Annabeth thought for a minute or two before answering, "I don't really know, but his party will last at most until 2 a.m."

"Okay, thanks, babe," Luke said, eyeing Percy. Percy just rolled his eyes. This plan had to work. It had to!

When they arrived (finally), Percy saw Jason making out with Piper in the front of the house.  Percy hurriedly got out of the car. "HEY! NO PDA!" he shouted, making Piper and Jason break apart, laughing. Jason walked up to them, Piper behind him. He and Percy then gave each other the "shake" and entered the house, the three others following close behind.

When Thalia and Luke saw each other for the first time, things got tense. She glared at Luke, and whispered very intimidatingly, "You better be good to her," and walked away. Luke gave a nervous chuckle, and they all walked into the kitchen, where it was extremely loud, everyone partying.

Luke was drunk. Absolutely and utterly drunk. Annabeth and Piper and the girls were outside, near the pool, chatting. Percy decided this was the ideal time to put his plan into action. He took his phone out and started filming Luke. "So, Luke," Percy started, "why are you dating Annabeth?"

Luke chuckled. "Well, honestly, she has a really nice ass. It's bouncy and cuuuuuuuurvy." He started laughing. Urgh, drunks.

Percy smiled. This was working. "That's it?"

"Well, also, when I told my friends about the lame nerdy girl who was crushing on me at school, they dared me to date her as a joke. Hee hee! Isn't it funny Perceeeeeeeee?" He laughed again.

He continued, "I honestly, just like sex. And she's such a baby! I MEAN, SHE STILL HASN'T HAD HER FIRST KISS! It's ridiculous! So, because I think her ass and pussy are worth waiting for, imma wait." Luke smiled, then laughed, and ran to the pool, jumping right in.

Percy stopped recording. He had evidence. Sure, this would break Wise Girl's heart, but at least she could stop dating that jerk.

Percy replayed the video to himself. This was definitely gonna leave a permanent scar on Annabeth. Percy silently thanked whatever gods were out there for getting Luke that drunk.

Percy put his phone in his back pocket and decided to enjoy the rest of the party. He found Jason, and they played beer pong. Percy always won, and this game proved his point, yet again.

They left the party at around 11:37 p.m. He drove Annabeth home, then Luke. He parked Luke's car on his house's driveway and took the city bus home. Percy got to his house at 12:14 a.m.

He changed, brushed his teeth and all, and got into bed. He rewatched the video one last time.

He sent it to Annabeth, plugged his phone into the wall, and fell asleep.

Maybe he had a chance with Annabeth after all.
