1. Chapter 1

Percy's POV

He whispered something in her ear. She laughed. He grinned. She whispered back. He smiled. She leaned closer. He leaned closer.

Percy turned away. He looked down at his food and picked at it moodily. Rachel was ranting on about some teacher or other next to him but Percy just couldn't focus. What did Annabeth even see in Luke? For years she has told him that she thought he was a conceited big headed player.

'He always has his lips stuck to some girl or other'

Well now whose lips was his stuck to? At first Percy thought it wouldn't last. Things never lasted with Luke. But no, they has been dating for two months now and he hadn't appeared to have even look at anyone else. But why did Percy even care? The girl he liked was sitting right next to him. To assure himself he looked at Rachel. Her hair was a bit shorter than Annabeth's, just flowing over her shoulders. It burned, flames of red and orange curling around her head. No, don't compare them he thought. Since Annabeth started dating Luke he couldn't stop thinking about her. Because she was his best friend and he didn't want her to get hurt Percy told himself. Green eyes met his, filled with annoyance and question.

'Perce, have you been listening to anything I've been saying?'

Percy shrugged nervously and smiled hopefully 'something about Travis?'

Rachel sighed 'whatever see you in maths

He picked up his tray, took it to the conveyor belt, and then went to his locker to pack his bag. Annabeth strolled up to her locker next to his, looking dreamily ahead with a small smile gracing her lips.

'Hey Annabeth'

Formal he thought. They hadn't been close recently. Every spare second she had, she would be with …surprise surprise Luke.

'Eh what, oh hey Perce'

This was a slight comfort to him that she still called him by his nickname, not her nickname for him but the one his friends used. But her grey eyes still weren't looking fully at him, still hazed and dreamy with thoughts of Luke

''How have you been?'

'Great thanks, look I got to go but um Luke's out of town this weekend, we could hang out?'

Percy looked down , wouldn't she want to hang out with him even if Luke's in town? No cause she would be with Luke. But yet Percy didn't want to say no, he missed Annabeth.

'Yeah sure, hideaway?'

Annabeth grinned and gave him thumbs up then jogged off to Luke
