Chapter 10

  I'm on my way

Driving at 90 down those country lanes

Singing to "Tiny Dancer"

And I miss the way

You make me feel

And it's real

We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill.

*******

After fitting in some really tight shorts and a white long top,which almost covered my shorts,I took a last look in the mirror.

I brushed my blonde hair.After I had come to New York my hair no longer stayed curly and it had come down till my waist.

I was nervous.I didn't know why.I knew everyone except Luke.

Rushing downstairs not to get late,I hugged my mom and went across the road to Percy's house.

There were more cars in the driveway.

"I guess that I'm late,"I thought and walk over to the door.

There is music bursting from inside.It must be Leo.

My hands became sweaty as I reached out to ring the bell.

"Come on Annabeth.Ring it,"I said and finally pressed the bell.

A melodious tune played.

For a couple of minutes nobody opened the door.

I stood in the porch,tapping my feet with nervousness.

Then suddenly a squeaking noise came and the door opened.

Thalia was standing in a white top and jeans,the blue highlights visible clearly in her hair.

"Hey Annie.We've all been waiting for you for so long,"she said hugging me tightly.

I felt like I would pass out any minute because she nearly choked me out.

"Sorry.Just took time to get ready,"I said hugging her back.

"By the way you look seriously hot,"Thalia said as we walked inside the house.

The house was quite bigger than it looked from outside.

The living room was grey coloured with huge curtains hanging all around,stopping the sunlight from entering.

There were huge black sofas which was enough to sit 3 families all together.

Before I could observe some more,Thalia lead me upstairs to Percy's room.

The wooden stairs squeaked as we stepped on it.

Then Thalia finally stopped in front of a wooden gate which lead o Percy's room.

On the gate,in big black letters was written 'Percy.Watch out!'

Thalia opened the gate and my nervousness knew no bounds.

I entered the room and everybody was busy in their own work.

The walls were blue-coloured with numerous posters attached everywhere.

There was a study table,a king-sized bed and a couch beside it.

Leo and Nico were fighting to play their chance in Subway Surfers on Leo's iphone.

Piper and Jason were cuddling on the couch like always.

Calypso and Hazel were talking while Frank and Will were discussing about some mechanism.

Percy was talking to a blonde-haired dude who was facing his back towards me.

I guess it was Luke.

There were numerous movie CD's lying on the bed.

"Guys!The hottie is here!"Thalia announced and everybody looked at me.

"Hey Annabeth!"everyone greeted me except Percy and the blonde haired dude.

"Girl you took forever to come,"Will said sitting on the bed beside Percy.

"What are you looking at Perce?"Jason asked Percy because his mouth was hanging wide open.

Will shook him by his shoulder and Percy finally gained consciousness.

"No just.You l-look am-amazing Wise girl,"Percy said winking at me.

I blushed and said,"Thanks seaweed brain."

"Okay so if you both have done your romantic talks then please somone introduce Luke to Annabeth,"Frank said eyeing me and then Percy.

"This is Luke and Luke this is Annabeth,"Percy said introducing the blonde haired dude,Luke,to me.

Luke was pretty handsome and I believed Hazel that every girl in Goode would be falling for him.He had blonde hair,a huge scar on his face and a smirk always fixed.

"Hey hottie,"Luke said smiling at me.

Percy rolled his eyes as if he knew that this was going to happen.

I blushed.

"Hey Luke,"I said shyly.

"Ok.So introduction done.Now please select a movie and Luke and Annabeth can you please go and make some popcorn?"Leo said ruffling Nico's hair.

"Sure.You guys select and start the movie.Mean while,me and Annabeth can get some popcorn,"Luke said coming towards me.

Suddenly Percy spoke up,"Should I come and help?"

"No Perce.We can do it on our own.Sit and relax,"Luke said as we headed out of the room.

The lights were turned off.

*Kitchen*

Luke asked me a couple of questions to me about my life as I was making popcorn and he poured the drinks.

Suddenly,I felt some arms creeping towards and tightening around my waist.

The smell was of boy's perfume.

I turned with a sudden jerk and I stood face-to-face with Luke.

Our faces were just inches away.

His eyes bore into mine.

"Luke?"I asked confused with Luke's arm gripping me tighter around my waist.

"Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow Annie?"Luke asked his breath fanning my face.

I couldn't resist it and nodded in a 'yes'.

Suddenly Luke moved closer and crashed his lips to mine.

His breath smelt like peppermint.

I kissed him back ruffling his blonde hair with my fingers.

He placed me on the kitchen island and we kissed more forcefully.

He slid his hand in my t-shirt and I felt a strong sensation.

"Can you both hurry up?I'm starving,"Leo shouted from upstairs.

I stood up and picked up the popcorn bowl.

Luke picked up the tray with drinks and we both went to Percy's room.

*Percy's room*

By the time me and Luke reached,the movie was already in progress.

The pirates of Carribean.

The room was freezing cold and everybody was in blankets.

All the couples sat together.

Percy was sitting alone on the bed because Nico and Will were sitting on the floor.

"Finally!You both took years to bring some popcorn and drink,"Piper said taking the bowl of popcorn and drink.

I went and sat beside Percy and Luke sat beside me.

Luke was sitting very close to me.

There was no space between our bodies.

Percy noticed and asked me in a low voice,"What happened in the kitchen?"

"Perce.Leave Annabeth alone.She's my girlfriend,"Luke said loud enough so that everybody could hear.

Everybody faced us.

Leo paused the movie.Frank turned the lights on.

"She's your what?!"Nico asked surprisingly.

This was the first time I had heard him speak like this.

"Yeah you heard it right Nico. Annabeth is my girlfriend."

I just stared at the blanket.

I didn't have the guts to look at Percy.

I could feel his glare on me.

"But how can you both make out so easily?You have just met like half an hour ago!How did you make out?"Calypso asked like a detective.

"Since the past half an hour I have been seriously attracted to Annabeth.So I asked her out in the kitchen,"Luke replied.

"That's why you took so much time,"Leo said winking.

I finally looked at Hazel from the blanket.

She looked at me and mouthed the words,"What happened?"

"Tell you later,"I mouthed her back.

"So we have one more couple!"Will cheered and everybody else joined.

Except Percy.

Leo resumed the movie and we watched movie after movie all night.

Percy was unexpectedly very quiet.

I decided that I would talk to him when we would be alone.

Before I knew,my eyes closed and I drifted to sleep on Luke's muscular shoulder.
