Chapter 1:

A/N: Why, hello there. For those who have read my other story previously, I stated that I would be making a new one. Here it is :) BTW, thanks to all those people that stuck around and have actually read both my stories. You actually make me sooo happy.

Anyways, I have adopted a new writing style that will have you seeing updates (if you follow the story - doesn't mean you LITERALLY have to follow it) regularly in periodic schedules of 3 to 4 days, or if I get a bunch of review, perhaps 2. If you wanna know more, just take a quick look into my bio - I tried to keep it short and simple in there.

One more important thing - for those who wanted to see more of 'Moving ON', your time has come. School holidays is coming up for me so I think I'll have time to update then; no promises though :)

Well done if you've read this far. I just hope that you can do it for the rest of they story.

3rd Person POV:

Percy finally finished getting ready for school, but he was mainly preparing to see Annabeth once again. Their usual morning routines were what he looked forward to most out of anything that could possibly happen during the day.

He managed to sort out his hair just before Sally called him down to the living room. Annabeth had decided to come early today, and Percy forgot to put on deodorant.

"Oh.. Morning, mom. Morning, An- Annab- Annabeth," he managed to get out. It was increasingly becoming harder to talk to her, but today was perhaps the hardest out of them all. Today was Valentines Day.

"Hiya, Perce," greeted Annabeth.

His mom gave him a hug as he reached the base of the stairs.

"Sorry to interrupt, children, but Percy just has to quickly run to turn off my hair straightener. I think I left it on."

Thankful for Sally clueing into his dilemma, Percy sprinted up the stairs and put on and finished getting ready, once again making sure everything was spotless. After all, today was the big day.

Today was the day he was going to tell Annabeth just how much he liked her.

Once again walking back into the living room, Annabeth noticed what Percy held in his hands.

"What have you got there, Seaweed Brain?" she quizzed.

There, Percy held a pink love-heart shaped box, tied with the classical red bow. Taped on top of it was a note with Percy's handwriting in sea-green color.

"Oh, you know... Noth- nothing much," he said.

Annabeth had to hold in a burst of laughter at the red face Percy was getting.

"Awww... Percy is that a Valentines Day box of chocolates? I didn't even know you fancied anyone," Annabeth teased. She always loved doing that to Percy.

He smiled back, oblivious to his mom's observations at the scene playing out.

"Alright you two, time to head off to school," Sally began. "Can't have you late on a day like today."

The sun was beginning to fully peak over the city line as the bloodshot morning was beginning to fade into a blue sky, with not a cloud in sight.

Grabbing their backpacks, the 15-year-old both made their way out the front door, making sure to kiss Sally on the way out. Obviously Percy would do so, but Annabeth shared that same connection with Percy's mother. They just had that type of bond - almost like a mother and daughter one.

"Well?" asked Annabeth once they had made their way out of Percy's street.

Baffled, Percy asked a sensibly logical question back.
"Huh?"

"Duh, Kelp Head," she answered. "Who is it for?"

"Who's what fo..."
Percy realised that she was talking about the box he was grasping delicately, extremely careful to not even make a dent with his fingers.

"I... I can't say, Annabeth."

"Come on, Percy! Sure, you can tell me. I promise I won't say anything to her until you tell her yourself. Cross my heart." she said.

Percy was beginning to feel cornered. It's not like he could just say no; they've known each other for that long, and saying no would be like breaking up the bond they shared, where they would tell each other all their secrets.

"How about this... I'll tell you that she's in our homeroom class, but I won't say who. That should narrow it down." Percy had to admit, he was pretty proud at himself for coming up with that one.

"Ooooo. Okay, so she's in our class. That means that there's only a possibility of one in eleven..." she muttered, trying to figure out who it was.

"Aren't there twelve girls in our class though?" Percy asked, confused.

"Well, technically yes. But don't count me, dummy. Remember, I'm trying to get the best chance possible of guessing who she is before the end of the day."

Percy didn't say anything to that, but continued on walking down the paved path alongside the family-friendly houses in their neighborhood.

"Ah, whatever. I'll find out soon enough anyways," Annabethh gave up.

Grateful to the gods for his luck in her dropping the subject, they began to talk about how annoying school and homework was getting, and of the bullies in their grade. Just the usual generalized talk.

They entered the relatively large park, with lush green hills rolling off into the horizon. Sparsely populated trees covered these fields, and a playground stood with the standardized equipment along their route they took through the heart of the estate.

Annabeth began to think about who this mysterious girl was.
'How is it that Percy has never told me who it was, or even mentioned her?' she wondered

She had to admit, it was a bit hurtful that he didn't say anything, but she quickly waved that away. Percy had never had a girlfriend before so this was all new to him.

'I hope I like her' Annabeth couldn't help but find herself thinking.

'If Percy asked her out, would there be any time for 'us' left over? Would she occupy all his spare moments? And what if she didn't like me... would Percy no longer begin to like me?'

Questions flooded her mind, and she knew she had to cast them away. Percy was going on about how his PlayStation wouldn't turn on anymore, so she decided to focus on that.

"Did you try switching the outlet on?" she asked.

Percy face went completely blank, which was then followed by a groan.
"Annabeth, can I just call you anytime something doesn't work?" he asked.

She couldn't stop her laughter escaping this time.

He truly was such a Seaweed Brain.

That Morning:

Annabeth sat down for her third class of the day, not wanting to believe that there was still four more to go.

Although she was well capable enough to handle whatever algebra question Ms Dodds threw at her, she just couldn't bring herself to pay much attention, especially when the room was buzzing about what was going to happen later today. Valentines Day was where dreams were made.

'Hopefully that dream includes mine' she began to wonder.

Nico had begun to flirt with her constantly, but never made the final move of asking her out. If there was any day, today was it.

She could lose herself in his onyx black eyes, and his olive skin, and the fact that he was beginning to change from that scrawny boy from a few years ago to a toned and muscular teen. She was beginning to have enough of not having enough of him. 'Maybe I'm going to have to make a move on him, before some other girl comes and takes him'.

She was yet to really tell Percy that there was anything going on, as she was worried he would think that she no longer wanted to hang out with him. That wasn't the case at all, but she wasn't going to take the chance of even bringing it up until Nico asked her out. Well, that is if he ever does.

Thinking back to earlier in the day, Annabeth found herself wondering how she could get a little angry that Percy hadn't told her about this girl, when she was doing the exact same thing to him. Inwardly making a promise to tell him about Nico the next chance she got, Annabeth focused on the question displayed on the board, but felt her mind constantly shifting back to a certain raven-haired boy with green eyes.
