CHAPTER 1

Oh man, this was so bloody awkward. Um…. I was really, really, really not good at this. But anyway here goes, "Grover, will you go to the prom with me?" "See? That wasn't so bad was it, now?," Grover said to me. "Well, no I suppose but I could barely muster the courage to ask you, the fact that I have to ask Annabeth is creeping me out so badly that I think I have to go throw up," I replied.

This was so not a joke because yes, I really was going green(pun not intended) at the thought of asking Annabeth to go to the prom with me. I mean I know what you're thinking that Percy Jackson the guy who killed a minotaur with his bare hands can't ask a girl to prom? But the truth is girls were never my forte. I was always more of a 'behave like a retard and get completely tongue-tied in front of a girl' type of guy. So you can understand my problem.

And to top it all off I wasn't asking just SOME GIRL to the prom. I was asking ANNABETH, a girl who was capable of chopping of my head before I could even ask her. But she wouldn't do it because she like me. I think. Arghh! This prom thing was messing with my head too much. So I decided to put an end to it. I was going to march straight up to Annabeth and ask her if she wanted to go to the prom with me. If she said yes I risked the danger making myself look like a complete idiot by breaking into a monkey dance at that very moment. However if she said no I would turn back on my heel and show up at the prom alone.

So that's exactly what I did. I walked up to her ad tapped shoulder. She whirled around her blonde hair flying all around her. When she saw me, she smiled. "So what's up Percy?" she asked me. "oh, nothing," I said as nonchalantly as I possibly could.

We began walking talking about the usual stuff. She began to tell me about how the rebuilding of Mount Olympus was going. I wasn't soon before long that she went off into a tangent about the architecture. I wasn't really listening I was just looking at her and drinking her in. She must have noticed I wasn't listening because she stopped and raised her eyebrows at me and I just shook my head.

We walked in silence for some time. "Oh, well so if it isn't anything important I should go now because of the rebuilding," she said suddenly. "Oh totally, right. Ok bye," I said. We hugged awkwardly and she walked off.

I have no idea what came over me but I screamed after her, "Hey Annabeth, wait." She turned and screamed back, "What?"

" I wanted to ask you if you are free on the 29th."

"Yeah I am, why?"

"Because the prom is on that night and I wondered whether you wanted to go. To the prom. With me."

Her face broke into an evil smile. She walked towards me slowly as if to make the torture last longer. Well I had to hand it to her. Her tactics were working. I was now officially going to throw up.

When she reached me she was still smiling in that diabolical way. She stared at me unnervingly. I decided at that moment that my beat up pair of converse sneakers were very interesting. Finally she asked me, " Are you asking me out on a date, Seaweed Brain?"

I continued to stare at my sneakers my face going as red as a ripe tomato. I however managed to mutter a, "Yeah."

I finally had the guts to look up. She was still staring at me in that scary manner. Finally she said," Ok fine. I'll come to house at 7:00 p.m. sharp. "

She then turned around and walked away. My mind was still processing. Finally I got. "Yes!" I screamed. Needless to say everyone at camp proceeded to stare at me but I was just too happy to care and besides I had a bigger fish to fry.

I had to find a bloody tuxedo.
