AN: Hello there! I'm Dragonheart2003, and this is my first story. I know that these types of "mortals meet demigods stories" are very cliché, but I fell in love with them! So I decided to write this, and without further ado, let's get on with the stories!
Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson series.
Lindsey Hernandez's POV
I fell in love with my best friend, Percy Jackson. Oh, how I long for him to ask me out already! I am pretty sure he likes me back. He smiles more at me than any of his other friends, and he always invites me over to his house to hang out. I am especially excited for today because he's hosting a pool party at 4pm to celebrate the end of the school year, and asked me to come! I wish time would pass by faster. It's only 2pm. I guess, to pass time, I'll just go take a walk outside with my dog.
~Time Skip & Line Break~
Finally! It's 4pm and ready to go in a black frilly bikini, carrying my stuff in a blue beach bag. I bid my mother goodbye and walked to Percy's house. Once I arrived, I rang the doorbell and a spiky-haired, punk-looking girl answered. She analyzed me and said, "You must be the friend Percy was talking about." "Yes, that's me," I replied. "Come on in then." She held the door open for me and introduced herself as Thalia.
When I got to the poolside, I saw Percy and a bunch of other people I didn't know. I watched them play a game of Marco Polo while I put on some sunscreen. Then Percy noticed me and called out, "Oh, hey Lindsey! Come on in the pool and you can meet some of my camp friends!" Camp friends? He has never mentioned a camp before. So I went in the pool and he pointed toward a girl with bouncy, curly brown hair and shining golden eyes and said, "That's Hazel. See the burly guy over there?" He gestured to a big, muscly boy. "That's her boyfriend, Frank." Next he pointed to a couple talking to each other, a beautiful girl with choppy brown hair and multi-colored eyes, and a blonde guy with a little scar on his lip, and told me they were Jason and Piper. Percy showed me everyone and announced, "Everybody, this is my friend from school, Lindsey." And hopefully soon-to-be-girlfriend, I thought. Everyone muttered some "hellos" and "hi's".
After swimming and socializing with people, I stepped out of the pool and dried myself off. Just then, someone called out, "Swim competition! Whoever can beat Percy will get 50 drachmas!" Drachmas? What are drachmas? But I went out to watch it anyway.
The swimmers were getting ready. Then the boy, Travis I think, then pulled the trigger on his gun and shot a blank. BANG! It went. All of a sudden, all the competitors were tearing through the water so fast it was hard to believe that they actually were. Percy, though, was literally just speeding through the water, way ahead of all the others. How is he doing that? I started to cheer for him. "GO PERCY! YOU CAN MAKE IT! YOU'RE DOING GREAT!" I shouted. They continued this for a few more laps when Percy crossed the finish mark and yelled out, "I won! Not surprisingly, though." Then some other blonde girl, Annabeth I recall, just went up to Percy and kissed him! ON THE LIPS! How dare she! Percy is MINE! So I went up to her and screamed at her, "HOW DARE YOU KISS PERCY LIKE THAT! HE'S MINE!" Then I tried to kiss him, but then Annabeth got in the way. "Um, excuse me, but I AM PERCY'S GIRLFRIEND! He is not yours!" she countered. "Oh yeah? I bet you've only known for 1 week, you stupid dumb blonde! I, on the other hand, have known him for A YEAR!" But then she said, in a deadly calm voice, "Percy and I have been dating for a year, and have been best friends since we were 12. " Then Percy spoke up, "Lindsey, we have been through some pretty tough things too. Things you definitely don't want to know about or go through. I love Annabeth with all my heart and I wouldn't leave her under any circumstances, even if I had to go through hell with her. I don't want to be friends with you if you hate her like that. And I certainly don't want to be your boyfriend. I'm sorry, Lindsey. But please, just leave." I stood there, staring at them, shocked. He didn't like me? Then I came to my senses again, grabbed my stuff, and walked home. All with tears streaming down my face.
