Hope you guys like it!

DISCLAIMER: I am (unfortunately) not the owner of PJO! Rick Riordan is! I do not look like Rick Riordan, do I? I don't have boy hair, I don't wear boy clothes, and I don't have boy... potty parts...

Percy's POV:

I watched as the blond girl walked past me, her hair swinging from side to side on her back. She jogged over to the arena with the sun shining on her head, causing it to shine and dance around her head like a halo.

"Percy... Percy? Percy!" yelled Grover. I turned my attention towards him- quite reluctantly, I should say. "You guys have kissed already! I don't get it- why don't you just ask her out already?" I sighed and glared at him.

"I can't." I groaned.

He shook his head and bleated. "You know, man, you've been staring at her for the past month, ever since that day you guys kissed underwater... I know it got kind of awkward after that, but... Go ahead and ask her out!"

She's a fighting machine with the power to skin me alive, I can barely speak around her, she's my best friend, and he says 'Go ahead'? I shook my head stubbornly and leaned against the trunk of an oak tree near the strawberry fields that overlooked the majority of camp.

"You know what, Percy? I'm just going to go talk to Juniper." we did a one-armed man hug and he ran off.

"See you, G-man." I yelled after him. I decided to lay down at the beach. The water there calmed me.

After a while, I heard someone come up behind me. I turned.

"Hey, Nico." I said.

"Hey. You know, you've been way less annoying since the war. I think I has to do with a certain blond Athena girl with stormy gray eyes, a dagger, and the name Annabeth." he nudged me and chuckled. I faced him and gave him another one of my glares.

"You know, I bet you couldn't make her yours by the end of the week!" he laughed. I glared at him. I may not have the piercing eyes Annabeth has, but I can still do a decent death glare.

"Yeah, I could!" I defended. My so-called friends were not helping me one bit.

"Fine." he paused to think. "Loser owes winner 50 bucks. It's on." and he ran off. I watched him, scowling. Where was I going to get 50 bucks?

Annabeth's POV:

I was sitting by Thalia's tree on the hill that overlooked almost the entire camp. My invisibility cap was on and I was paying a little more attention to a certain black-haired boy more than anyone else.

I glanced over as Nico started speaking him. Percy was obviously starting to get angry. He flipped his hair and death glared at Nico. His mouth was upturned in a cute little pout.

I wish that thick-headed Seaweed Brain would just get the hint and ask me out!

The conch horn sounded for dinner as I reluctantly took off my cap and trudged down to the pavilion.

R&R! :D I know it's really short, but give me a break! The upcoming chapters will be longer!
