A Loophole (Percabeth Selection)

11- "Don't Kiss Blindfolded And No Making Babies"

I was tagged! My first tag! I'm so excited! I'll put it at the end of this chapter!

I woke up feeling all bubbly inside. Today was the day, a date with my best friend

I've been looking forward to actually spending time with him, labelled as a date for years. My feelings for Percy started when I was twelve, now I'm 17, and it's finally happening

Hazel was excited too. She's also been waiting for this day since she met the two of us. On the day we met when Percy and I both could hear she squealed to herself 'I ship it' Which I still don't understand to this day

Justine had set up a soothing bath for me, which I spent a good 20 minutes in

Alicia did my hair in a beautiful style and Hazel picked out a floor length dress

Just before I was about to leave Hazel stopped me "Annabeth? Don't eat lots at breakfast. Word on the street is that he's got a picnic ready for you"

Excitement bubbled under my skin

I was ready to go to breakfast. On my way out the door, Silena was coming out of her door next to me

She was wearing a lovely lace light pink dress, her hair was done up into a bun on top of her head

"Morning Silena"

She noticed me and looked up "Morning Annabeth"

We started walking down the hall, making our way to the dining room

"How was your date yesterday?" I asked

She smiled and looked up at the ceiling "He's amazing, it was amazing"

I raised an eyebrow "Yeah?"

She nodded her head "Yeah" She then went into detail of what happened, and this time I didn't feel jealousy or an uneasiness creeping inside of me because I was going on a date today too

"Have a good day" I said and we parted ways. I made my way down to my seat at the table

Piper was already there but Reyna wasn't

"Morning Pipes"

She glared at her nickname "Morning Annie"

And I have her a glare in return

"Why are you so happy today?" She asked

"I have a date" I started to swing my legs under the table like a little kid

"Wow"

I nodded "Yeah wow. How was yours yesterday?"

She sighed and rested her chin in her hand "Fabulous, he's really funny and romantic" I nodded as she continued "Definitely impressed"

I patted her on the shoulder "Good, I'm glad"

"Ladies!" Sarah called out, we all turned to her as she pointed to the door

A few seconds later the doors opened and the royal family entered and we stood

My eyes immediately drifted to Percy. He was in a suit and from far away his tie looked suspiciously the same colour as my dress

He met my eyes and I smiled. He smiled in return

I took a deep breath, good, he hadn't changed his mind

Sally didn't have a big smile on her face like I thought she would "Good Morning Ladies, please take a seat"

Now that I look, Tyson was happy but Paul looked the same as Sally. Solemn. Maybe Percy didn't tell them? I thought they were rooting for me. This started my uneasiness for the day
