Bryan POV:

Annabeth Chase- My description of the perfect girl. She had stunning blonde curls and stormy gray eyes. We were at our usual table, in the cafeteria, with our group: Eliza, Miles, and Claire. Eliza was a girl with wavy brown locks shadowing her ocean- blue eyes, Miles was a tall guy with red hair and a HUGE crush on Eliza, and Claire was a Raven-haired girl who Annabeth thinks I like. I wonder if she's jelly. (YEAH, I SAID JELLY) Eliza was rambling on and on about why there should be more veggies at lunch and Miles stared at her, not listening to a word she said. Annabeth and I were talking about architecture when a boy with messy black hair ran in.

"WISE GIRL!" The boy jumped on Annabeth.

I was furious, I had the hugest crush on Annabeth and everyone knew that. Miles sent me a sympathetic look. How could I beat this guy, he looks like Mr. Perfect.

"SEAWEED BRAIN!" Annabeth yelled, "I WAS TALKING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE!"

He's gonna get it...

"Uh, oops" the 'Seaweed Brain' stupidly replied

"Your such a kelp-head" Annabeth said

THAT'S IT!? I did that once and she came on me like a fury. You know what they say, you're harder on the people you expect more from.

"Owl Head"

"Fish Face''

I'm guiltily happy they are fighting. If they fight like this, they can't be in a relationship, right?

"Love you, Wise Girl"

"Love you too"

Why am I wrong about everything? Maybe they are siblings. 'they don't look alike' My brain told me. They are adopted siblings. If not, Half-siblings.

"Why are you here?" Annabeth questioned.

I was thinking that too. He shouldn't be here.

"Mom told me to stop by and give you cookies."

"So how are you related? Adopted or Half-siblings?" I tried.

They burst out laughing, so I'm guessing I was wrong.

"This is my Seaweed Brain of a boyfriend." My heart shattered as if it was glass. I think I'm hallucinating because I swear I saw Claire's mouth curve upward slightly.

"My name is Percy." Percy pouted.

I have to man up, I'm Annabeth's best friend, she would want me more than this Percy guy. He looks really dumb.

"Annabeth can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure" we walked into the hall.

"I'm your best friend, but I don't want to be." She frowned, "I want to be more."

I felt pain across my cheek and then I realize she slapped me. She slapped me. Annabeth Chase slapped me.

"Percy is my friend. My BEST friend. he has been for FIVE years. I've known you TWO years." she shouted, "Now, GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Jealousy is a pain, but instead of it being against me, I'll make it work with me. I walked back in the room hoping for Claire to help. She always is the best friend in these situations.

"Claire, can I talk to you?" I asked, "It's crucial!"

"I'm coming! Jeez, you'd think a girl could have lunch." She popped a french fry in her mouth and we both walked in the hallway, "What is it?"

I'm gonna be not nervous- Wait, why would I be nervous. I don't know why, but there is a knot it my stomach.

"I kinda needyoutopretendgooutwithmetomakeannabethjealous." I said, obviously not very confident.

"Okay boyfriend." She said doing that finger quotation mark thing. (Please tell me what that's called!) Am I crazy, or is she happy?

She grabbed my hand and pulled me in the cafeteria blushing like a madman. She grabbed my face and kissed me, SHE KISSED ME. A million sparks flooded my veins, how did I not notice she looks so pretty!

Annabeth smiled, "OTP officially together!"

OTP?

"You've been spending too much time with Piper." Percy said.

Piper?

I focused my attention back on Claire.

"H-hi!" I stuttered. Seriously, she looks like a goddess right now.

"Why do girls always make the first move?" She said.

"I KNOW RIGHT" Annabeth shouted.
