When I woke up it was still dark out. I rubbed my eyes and saw that Lily was sleeping on the couch.
She was shaking from the cold of the a/c.
I put a blanket over her and stepped onto my balcony enjoying the brisk air.
It was August 31st and soon to be fall.
I sky outside started changing colors to show the sun was raising.
I quietly went inside to find my maids going around the room getting ready for today.
Lily was getting an outfit while Michelle drew a bath.
Bella wasn't in the room.
"Lady Annabeth you're up early" Lily said smirking.
"ya ya very funny" I said heading over to the bath.
"Where is Bella" I asked.
"She is finishing up your dress for the ball tonight" Michelle said leading me over to the wardrobe and handing me some things.
I quickly put it on and saw that it was a sea green dress that came up to my knees and had small gray gems on it looking like little sparkles.
I slipped on a pair of sliver strappy heels that had to be about 3 in and scrowled.
The girls must have told my maids and they want Percy to notice me.
I walked out with my arms cross and sat down on the vanity bench.
"I know what your all doing" I said "I can take it from here thank you for your help."
They curtsied which made my eyes roll and left.
I took off my shoes and put on a pair of gray converse which I had brought with me and put my har in a messy ponytail.
I knew they meant well and this was my favorite color but I wasn't going to be looking nice for Percy.
No this was for me.
When I walked down the stairs I saw no one was here.
When I entered almost all the girls where sitting down and eating.
I slipped in and saw that Coraline and Percy where missing.
Thalia, Hazel, and the hunters where all sitting together smiling about something.
Percy came stumbling in and and looking like he was hurt.
I saw a big red handprint on his face I smiled.
Everyone but the royals, guest, hunters, Pipes and Selina gasped.
Then only a few seconds later Coraline came in with her head held high.
She walked past Percy whispered something in his ear smiling and then walked to the table with the hunters.
After breakfast everyone was still in shock that someone and hit the prince.
I walked out of the dinning hall and went outside.
I sat by a bench that was by a fountain.
Zoë, Thalia, Hazel, and Coraline came out laughing at something.
"Hey Annie did you see the look on everyone's face when they saw the handprint on Percy's face" Thalia said coming over.
"Tis priceless" Zoë said with a thick accent.
"Thank you, even though I would love to stay and hear gratitude from it I have to go to a council meeting" Coraline said turning away.
We waved and the others came over to where I was sitting.
"So Annabeth excited for the ball tonight" Hazel said with a happy look on her face.
"I'm not Sally told me I have to wear a dress and my tiara because of the photographers." Thalia said grumpy.
"Well thy hunters and I don't have to" Zoë said laughing.
"Even more reason I can't wait for Percy and Jason to choose Annabeth and Piper so I can finally join."
We sat there for a little while longer and then all went our separate ways.
By the time it was 5pm my maids came into my room with supper happy faces on.
They helped put on a long dress but told me to keep my eyes closed.
They helped put on my heels and led me to the vanity and started working on my makeup and hair.
When they said I could I opened my eyes and looking in the mirror.
I gasped I was
I gave the girls a huge hug.
"Oh thank you so much it's wonderful" I said almost crying.
"No problem miss now go and enjoy to ball" Michelle said with a small smile.
I walk out of the room and felt like a princess.
When I got to the ballroom it was decorated with black, white, and dark gray streamers.
I found Piper and Selina and smiled at their outfits.
Everyone was here. The princesses where all standing around mingling with the camera crew looking stunning.
And Sally just looked breathtaking. She was the embodiment of a queen.
I saw that Rachel and Reyna where talking. When I went over to say hi they glared at me and stalked away.
I walked back over to Piper and Selina.
We danced, talked and had so much fun.
By the end of the party I was tired and headed to bed and 12am.
When I got there I saw the door was open a little.
I quietly pushed it open not to wake my maids but who I saw took me completely by surprise.
"Hey Wisegirl" Percy said sadly.
I crossed my arms "What the hell are you doing here in my room at this hour."
"I wanted to say how sorry I am I was so stupid" he said looking up at me.
"What do you mean" I asked starting to get less mad.
"Coraline last night came pounding on my door after we talked and said how you where sobbing because you think I only see you as a friend and doesn't think that I like you." He said taking my hand.
"Well..." I didn't know what to say "Do you."
He lifted my head so I wasn't looking at the ground "More than you could ever guess."
And then he kissed me.
I was lost on cloud 9 whatever you want to call it I've been waiting for this.
I kissed back but than pulled away.
"Percy what just happened" getting flustered.
"Well um I told you I like you and we kissed and you pulled away" he said scratching the back of his neck. I love when he does that.
"Percy I I like you a lot I always really have but it's not just you and me anymore there are a bunch of other girls here who like you as much as I do" I said close to crying.
He took my hand "I don't care about the others your the one I want I was so happy when I found out you where in the selection."
I was so happy I hugged him when I pulled away I kissed him again.
This wasn't our first kiss but it was just as magical.
We pulled away when we heard giggling coming from outside and a click from a camera.
I looked outside and saw the Princesses, Selina, and Piper.
I blushed and Percy turned beat red like a tomato which was probably the same as me.
"Awww there blushing this is just to cute Shelly get another photo"Thalia said teasing.
"Already done the Stolls are going to love this" Coraline said racing away followed by the others.
"Um I should go" Percy said still beat red.
"Ya see you tomorrow" I said in a whisper.
When he left I touched my lips and smiled.
Piper and Selina then came in and started screaming about how cute this is and Percabeth finally getting together.
By 2am I shooed the out to get sleep but who was I kidding.
I stayed up all night remembering what he said and how we kissed twice.
This one of the best balls ever.
As I laid down I started thinking about how we would get married and even though I was scared to rule the country I knew that I would have Percy by my side.
