Cupid: Chapter One – Another date
Annabeth Chase really loved her friend Silena. She really did. But right then, she wanted to take her friend by her beautiful dark hair and trow her of her dorm window.
Annabeth was the kind of girl who was great without a man in her life, thank you very much. But of course Silena couldn't bear that.
Silena had started dating a boy named Charles Beckendorf a year ago, and since then, she started to pull up several surprise dates for Annabeth. And yes, they were 'surprise' dates because Annabeth never knew about them until she had, like, an hour to get ready to go.
But Annabeth had to admit that was a smart strategy from her friend, seeing as she would never agree to go on another date with another boy she didn't know under any other circunstance.
So there she was again, getting ready with the help of Piper for her date tonight with Chad Miller. She was running around with Piper around her room, trying to find yet another outfit for her. Annabeth was really just running to help Piper getting her ready, since she stopped caring how she went on her 13th date.
Once Piper had found a beautiful short green dress, that went down just to her knees, with a bow on the waist, and took a pair of white high heels, Annabeth put them on and got out of the bathroom. Piper sighed.
"Your beautiful" she said, but not with the same emotion she had said it on the first 7 dates. Annabeth couldn't blame her. She let out a small smile.
"Thanks to you." she replied and sat down in front of the dressing table. Piper started to put Annabeth's hair into a high, loose bun, letting some curls framing the blond's face. Once she was done with it, she turned Annabeth to her and started to put very little make up on her, just the way she liked.
She must had seen the frown on Annabeth's face, because she sighed again and said: "I'm sorry for my sister's habits. That girl's gotta stop!"
Annabeth smiled. Piper and Silena were sister, and they couldn't be more different. While Silena was the girly, in love kind of girl, Piper was down to earth, even if her dad was a famous actor. Piper and Silena had the same mom, but different dads. Silen's dad owned a chocolate shop. Piper and Silena got chocolate frequently.
But still. If you saw both of them in the same room, you wouldn't think they were sisters. Probably because they had both the characterystics of their fathers. Silena was pale and had black hair, while Piper had a darker tone of skin and had brown hair, which was always in a brade, with feathers to decorate. The only thing the girls had in common was their big hearts and the fact they were so gentle to almost everyone they knew.
Piper finished Annabeth's make up quickly and smiled. "You're ready".
Annabeth sighed and got up. Not a minute after, there was a knock on the door of their dorm. It wasn't Chad. It was Thalia, their other roommate. She got in, kicked the door shut with her foot and crashed down on her bed. Annabeth was about to comment something when Thalia lifted a thinger.
"Talk to me in the morning, kay? Not one second before that." Piper and Annabeth stayed quiet.
They stood a few minutes until they both decided on seeing some TV while Chad didn't arrive. They watched a lot of TV. (I really don't know if there are any Tvs in doorms, but in this one, it has, kay?)
They were watching TV for half an hour and Chad still hadn't shown up.
"I can't believe that jerk stood you up" Piper said, annoyed.
"Well, atleast I won't have to bear any of his stupid jokes and…" Annabeth was about to reply when they heard another knock on the door.
Piper got up before her friend did, and openned the door, angryly. "Yes?"
"Is Annabell in there?" Chad asked dumbly. Annabeth got out from behind Piper and stopped in front of him.
"It's Annabeth, actually"
"Whatever"
Piper huffed and closed the door shut on his face. An 'oww' came from behind it.
"You are seriously going out with him?!" Piper asked, angry.
"Well, I don't have a choice, your sister already told him I was, and I don't like to stood people up like this… Even if it is this jerk" Annabeth pointed out.
Piper sighed again. "Okay, put if he does something stupid, I'll…"
"You won't do anything, okay, because I'll kill him before you get the chance" Annabeth heard Thalia say from across the room. She smiled and looked at Piper who smiled breafly and nodded. Annabeth put a hand on her friend's shoulder and got out of the dorm. Chad was still there, with his hand on his nose.
"Let's do this"
Annabeth regretted her decision the moment she saw where he was taking her.
"Abasketball game? Seriously?!" He looked at her like it was obvious he would take her there.
"Yeah! Jackson is competing today! I can't miss that!" he said and started walking toward the stadium. She huffed and walked along with him. After she had paid for her ticket, which was just ridiculous since she hated basketball, she and Chad went to their seats. At the start of the game a guy with black hair and a huge grin in his face appeared and everyone in the stadium got up and cheered, including Chad, who got up so fast he made her soda fall. Great. Just great.
The game started and even though Annabeth was having no fun at all, she had to admit the Jackson kid Chad had mentioned was pretty good. He seemed to really know what he was doing. At the end of the game, Chad dumped his soda on the guy in front of them, which was a really bad thing to do. The guy was huge and didn't like one bit of the soda on his shirt.
He started punching Chad's face and gave him what was probably going to be a black eye on the next day, and after a while some guys came to brake it off. Someone had to call the emergency and Chad was carried out of the stadium. The day just couldn't get any better, could it?
Annabeth waited until the stadium was almost empty when she got up to leave. But she found out she could get lost pretty easily in the stadium, seeing as she could never find the exit. She got into a corridor with a lot of doors, all of them closed and with the lights out. All but one of them. Number 3 was open.
The lights were on but no sound came from it, except from light footsteps. Annabeth reached the door and peeked inside. There was a shirtless guy inside. With black hair. she looked at the basketball uniform on the floor and saw the name Jackson on it. She knocked on the door lightly, but the boy was startled when he turned around.
The first thing she saw were his eyes. They were breath taking. Sea green.
"Umm, hi." he said. Annabeth blinked.
"Hi. I'm sorry to um… interrupt" she said and he quickly put a black shirt on. "I got kind of lost and I wondered if you could show me the exit?"
For a moment he just stared at her, his green eyes making her shiver lightly. Then he blinked and said, "Yeah, sure".
After he had put all of his things on a bag he turned the lights out and locked the door. He made a movement with his head so she would follow him. On their way out he put the keys on top of a desk and they finally leaved the stadium. They stopped in front of the doors of the stadium and just stood there for a while. The place was almost desert, which was kind of weird.
Jackson frowed and looked at her. "Are you waiting for someone or something?"
Annabeth shock her head in negative. "Actually no. My date was supposed to do that, but he got into a fight in the middle of the game and had to visit the hospital".
Jackson had to bite his lip to stop from laughting. Annabeth noticed that and punched his shoulder playfully. "Stop laughting! It's not funny!" she said and then saw him smirk at her. He was actually pretty handsome. His traces were filled with angles and his eyes just topped it all. She smiled and looked ahead: his eyes were kind of distracting her.
"Okay, it might be kind of funny" she said and he full on laughed and she couldn't help but join him. After the laughting fit stopped, he looked at her and motioned for her to follow him again and started walking toward him. He openned the door to what she supposed was his car and dropped the bag on the back seat than walked to the other side and openned the passenger seat and looked at her.
"Want a ride?" he asked as he mentioned towards the seat. He noticed she wasn't sure of what to do, so he gave her his best smile. That was all she needed after this date. She smiled shyly and got in the passenger seat. She watched as he smugly walked all the way over to the driver's seat and turned on the car and drove them out of there. She told him the adress to her university and was shocked when he said he was a student there too. They made a small talk until they finally arrived.
Percy, she found out that was his first name, accompanied her to her dorm and even dared to give her a kiss on the cheek. They said goodnight and departed. When she got inside her dorm, Piper was alredy out, so she just crashed her bed, with her dress still on and slept thinking about basketball players.
So… Liked?
