Authors note: I know it's not too romantic, but it just popped into my head. Now, on with the story.

Three Cokes

Percy's POV

I was having an absolute, terrible day. Yep, that pretty much sums it up. (Flashback)

I was in biology class when this tired-looking girl walked in. She sat down beside me and whispered "Hey, Percy."

"Ummm... hi." I replied.

"It's me. Thalia."

I couldn't decide whether to back away slowly or laugh hysterically. I mean I guess it kinda looked like her in the face but this girl's hair was blonde, she was wearing pink, a skirt, and lip gloss. You heard me, pretty pink lip gloss.

"No freakin way are you Thalia," I say, "you don't even look like her!"

"Ughh! That's because.." Excuse me Mr. Jackson but if you can spare a few seconds from talking to this girl I'm trying to teach a class." The stern face of Mr. Lerman interrupted The Supposed Thalia.

Thalia (I guess) waited a moment before saying " The Aphrodite girls got hold of me. I look like a Barbie doll! But, anyways, I need to tell you something."

After a few brief seconds of silence I decided that was believable enough.

"What?"

"Athena is after your soul because apparently she thinks you are more than friends with Annabeth." Thalia rolled her eyes. I blushed a deep scarrlett (sp). "Wait, are you?"

"What are you talking about? Of..Of course not."

"Whatever, Seaweed Brain." Gods, I wished she wouldn't call me that. That was Annabeth's nickname for me and it just didn't seem right for Thalia to use it.

I guessed then would be a good time to excuse myself from the classroom seeing as how I wasn't even listening. On my way out of the classroom (with permission), I slipped and heard a bunch of chuckles. Thank the gods Annabeth hadn't been there. I would've never lived that down. Unfortunately, Thalia was there and I was certain she would accidentally, on purpose, mention it to Annabeth.

And that's how I ended up on the beach on this terrible day. I had stole a few Cokes from the camp store. I have no idea why I brought three though.

After about an hour of just random thinking, I heard faint footsteps behind me. I turned around and spotted Annabeth.

"Hey Seaweed Brain." That's much better coming from Annabeth.

"Want some Coke?" I asked her. " Why do you even have to ask?" she replied as I popped the tab on her can.

She took a sip and then turned to look at me. "Percy, I'm sorry."

"For what?" I was completely confused.

"For avoiding you for one whole month. I've just been stressed. My dad's leaving for the weekend and my stepmom's making me take care of everything and it's just a heavy burden to lay on my shoulders."

"Probably not as heavy as the weight of the sky." I winked at her. It was an inside joke between me and her because we actually have carried the weight of the sky on our shoulders and we have the matching gray streaks in our hair to prove it.

"No, probably not." She giggled.

I stared into her stormy gray eyes and she stared into mine. I was about to lean in and kiss her when a voice bleated, "Perrrrcy!"

Great timing, G-Man.

"Oohh! A Coke! Can I have one?" He asked.

Now I understand why I brought three Cokes.
