The Choosing (Percabeth AU)

18. Dates No3

"Did you hear that?" Will asked.
Anything please change the subject, I can't keep listening to her talk about herself and her......man friends.

"Hear what?" Drew asked, taking a sip of her tea, "and do you not have any manners? It's princess Drew to you, unless I say otherwise" she said, rolling her eyes.

Ugh! Will considered himself to be a patient person, but she was someone he wouldn't mind slapping.

"The scream, princess Drew" he replied

"Oh that, why bother? I think it's Lacy, must've seen a spider or something, she is quite dumb" Drew said, not even bothering to look him in the eye.

"Well I must go check" Will said, immediately standing up,

And before Drew could even open her perfectly lipsticked mouth, he walked over to a servant, who agreed to let him use the golf cart for a minute to go check.

In about 8 minutes Will arrived, and took In the scene before him.

Apollo's Haikus, he thought, it was wayyy worse than what he hoped for.

Annabeth smiled, she didn't expect to have this much fun with someone she hated just a few hours  ago.

"Really?! I didn't even know blue cookies existed " she laughed.

"Oh yes she does, and they're the best things on the planet !"  Percy replied "you look nice today" he said quietly under his breath.

"Thanks seaweed brain" Annabeth blushed "you don't look that bad yourself"

This time Percy smirked, "not that bad? Oh please I look like a Greek god "

"Oh Lord! I'm so sorry I insulted your looks !"

They both laughed, they finished eating the meal Aphrodite provided for them a long time ago, in awkward silence.
It wasn't until Annabeth mentioned that Percy was holding his spoon wrong that they spoke, though it started with an argument, it ended with a fun conversation.
She was having fun getting to know him.

"Say Wise girl, how rebellious are you?"

"Oh once ! I went to a tea party without wearing gloves " Annabeth smirked.

"Wow" Percy replied, rolling his eyes."think you can survive the Labyrinth?"

"Oh seaweed brain, I know I can survive"

"Big headed much?"

"Annoying much?"

"Well as annoying as I am, I make up for it in handsomeness" Percy exclaimed,giving her his usual lopsided smirk.

"Let's go", he said, grabbing her hand.
Annabeth has thrown a spoon in another direction while the paparazzi weren't looking,so they decided to run off In that direction hoping to find some other royals to harass.

Just before they could enter, Chirons voice cut out through the loudspeaker
"All Royals return to the Pallas"

"Noooooo" Percy groaned, "just before we could do something fun!"

Annabeth smirked, "back to the table" she said,pulling him in that direction.
The golf cart had just arrived and they both got in.

"Oh ! Turns out the paparazzi disappeared" Annabeth realised.

"Maybe they found something better to photograph" Percy replied "What do you think happened "

Annabeth suddenly felt a sense of dread building up in her chest,as they arrived closer to the Pallas.
"I don't know" she whispered, "but something's not right"
