Percy`s POV

After high school I and Annabeth both decided to go to NYU in New York City. We rented an apartment together and walked to and from school together almost every day.

"Don't forget I'm going out with some of the other architect majors, "Annabeth told me. "So don't wait up for me."

"Okay." I replied. "I'll see you when you get home then."

"Yeah."

Annabeth kissed me good bye. Then I walked her to her class.

Annabeth had her whole career pained out she would do the college thing for four years then after that she was gana work for her uncle who builds skyscraper and other building in all over the world. I on the other hand was had no idea what I wanted to as a career, I was pretty good at the hero thing but saving Olympus isn't the same as arresting bad guys and saving people from burning fires. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my career, but I did know I wanted Annabeth to be in my future. But of course I wouldn't tell her that yet.

As I walked home from school later that day, I noticed a girl who looked very familiar. She was tall, with light skin, long light brown hair and brown eyes. Her eyes where fixed on the ground, she looked deep in thought about something. Then her she brought her head up and saw me. Then she smiled real big.

"Percy! Hey!" She said waving at me happily.

She ran over to me.

"Hey how are you?" She asked.

"Uh….I`m good." I answered awkwardly. I still had no clue who she was.

"You're looking good. See you finally got out of that awkward stage."

"Look don't be mad, but I really have no idea who you are." I told her.

"I'm Clarisse La Rue from Camp Half Blood. Remember I helped you guys save Olympus?"

"Oh yeah. You look so different."

"Hey do you wana get some coffee together?"

"Well I…."

"Don't worry just as friends. I know your still with Annabeth."

"Umm….sure." something in my gut was telling me this was a bad idea. But I figured what could wrong its just coffee.

Chapter 2: The Coffee House

Me and Clarisse talked a lot about the adventures we had been having. Then I talked a lot about my about me and Annabeth. Which seemed to not care at all about…to be honest she seemed bored when I was talking about the adventures too. But I didn't know what else to talk about my life is pretty boring aside from the monsters attacking and dating Annabeth.

"Clarisse is that you?" some buff guy with short wavy blonde hair asked as he cleaned the table next to us.

"Oh look who it is?" Clarisse said. "Still breaking hearts?"

"Look I'm sorry I didn't mean for-"

"Save it, I found someone else. And we are very happy together." Clarisse told him.

"Who this guy?" he pointed at me.

"Yes."

"Wait I'm not-"I started to say.

"I don't believe it." The blonde guy said.

Then out of nowhere Clarisse started kissing me. She obviously was using me to get her boyfriend jealous. And of course right at that moment Annabeth walked into the coffee shop with her friends.

"Perseus Jackson!" Annabeth yelled. "How could you!?"

My eyes widened, then I pushed Clarisse away from me.

"It's not what it looks like! I swear!" I told her. "She kissed me! "

"Save it! I can't believe you would do this to me! After everything we been through together!"

"But I didn't want to kiss her, she just kissed me. She told me we were just gana hang out as friends and then he shows up and she kissed me."

"Stop lying you know we've been dating for weeks." Clarisse told me, still trying to create the allusion that I was her boyfriend.

"You're crazy! This is the first time I've seen you years." I told her.

"Why didn't you tell me you were with Annabeth?" Clarisse asked me.

"We are not together, Clarisse!"

"Yes we are!"

"I want you out of here! Now! I don't wana see your lying face ever again!" Annabeth yelled. Throwing Percy's clothes at him. "I can't believe you would do this to me!" she started to cry. Percy tries to hug her, but she pushes him away.

"Annabeth you gatta believe me. Clarisse is the one who's lying."

"And why would she lie about this?"

"She wants to get her boyfriend jealous. That's why she kissed me. That's why she said we are together."

"You're such a liar."
