Yes, it's true
You've brainwashed me and now I'm more confused
I still somehow hope I end up with you


Percy remembers when he first realizes he likes Penelope in a way that he doesn't like any other girl. She's wearing a light blue dress that matches her eyes, and he can't take his eyes off of her.

She's beauty and grace. She's intelligent and kind. Her smile lights up the room and makes his heart speed up in tempo.

He wants to be near her, but at the same time, he's scared to be close to her, afraid of what might happen.

He feels brainwashed because when he's around her, he forgets how to talk. And he never has trouble talking. His tongue doesn't move and all he can utter is 'um.'

He blushes when she laughs, her dainty covering her mouth as tears of mirth run down her cheeks. He never feels like she's laughing at him, though, and Percy's sure that takes a special skill.

He always takes pride on knowing things, but when he's around her, he feels like he's in a labyrinth, one he'll never find his way out of.

Even with all of the uncertainty surrounding her, he still hopes he'll end up with her. There's no one better than Penelope Clearwater
