Happy Valentines Day! I hope you have/had a great one this year. For those who still want some more mushy stuff, here's my new story. Hope you like it.

Summary: Okay, what if Percy and Annabeth weren't dating? What if they both never expressed their true feelings to each other? What would happen? What would be the result of that? This just came to me when I was listening to the radio (yeah, I'm old school). This takes place a couple months after The Last Olympian.

Prologue

Jessie's Journal

Entry's Title: _I'm in Love With Somebody's Girlfriend_ Entry Date: December 20

Yesterday was a crazy day. I found out that I was a thing these people called a half-blood, I don't know what that means. My friend, Percy Jackson (who which is also a half-blood apparently), brought me to a safe place: Camp Half-Blood, after a confrontation with a weird hybrid of a lion, goat, and a diamondback snake. Percy said it was a thing called the Chimera, though that made me think of a Star Destroyer I read from a Star Wars book.

Anyway, as weird as everything is, the camp looks pretty awesome. It had a fighting ring for sword fighting (or at least that's what Percy said), an archery range which I instantly liked, and some horse stables but when I saw the horses I could swear I saw they had wings (I was going to ask Percy but he cut me off and went on giving me the tour). Finally, near the end, he showed me an epic rock climbing wall which quickly changed from epic to dangerous counting on the fact that it spits out lava from the top.

"Hey, Percy? Are you sure this is a summer camp? And not a death camp?" I asked him. He stopped in his tracks and faced me giving me a look that said What-are-you-talking-about? "You know, from the Holocaust and stuff?" I responded to his look. (A/N: I'm sorry if this offended anyone)

"I know what you mean. It was your question. What made you think it's a death camp?" He questioned me.

"I don't know, perhaps that lava-spewing climbing wall, the sword fighting ring and the chariots of doom over there." I pointed to the arena.

Percy patted me on the back and pushed me along. "Dude, this isn't any death camp. Us, demigods, have this ability to -um, how should I say this- not die as easily as a normal mortal can. So, you're safe here, just stay clear of Clarisse or you'll be in trouble."

I was going to ask him, who the heck was Clarisse but that's when I saw her. She was about my age (give or take) with blond hair and that Californian tan. As she approached Percy and me, I saw that she had gray eyes. I'll admit, she was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.

"Hey, Percy. Whose the new kid?" She asked him.

"Hi, Annabeth. This is my friend from that school I had to go 'scout for'. Jessie, this my friend Annabeth. Annabeth, Jessie." Percy introduced.

"Hi, nice to meet you Annabeth." I stuck my hand out for her to shake it but she only glanced at it and, I think, analyzed me from head-to-toe.

"Yeah, right." she simply said to me and turned towards Percy. "Percy, come on, hurry up. We need to get ready for Friday."

"Okay, okay, I'm on it." he told her and she left."Jeez, always bossing me around. Alright, Jessie, let me take you where you're going to stay until you get claimed." he said as he lead me to who knows where.

"'Til I get claimed?' Claimed by who?" I asked.

"Your godly parent." he said, turning to look at me. He must have seen the confusion on my face for which he stop and said, "Come on, dude. You learned about demigods in Latin class. Or did you forget?"

I smiled at him and replied with, "I wasn't paying attention that day."

Percy then drooped his head and sighed. "Okay, you are a demigod, or a half-blood and that means that you are half-human and half-god. Here at camp, we separated everyone by who their parent is. However, since we don't know your parent yet, you'll have to stay in that cabin over there." He pointed at a building that looked like the classical cabin while all the surrounding ones where decorated in weird ways.

There was twelve finished cabin in the form of a giant U, and there were about eight other cabins that were under-construction. In the center of all the cabins was a large field with a big roaring fire, and basketball courts. Surprisingly, this part of camp had a lot of people going in and out of buildings or trimming the plants or even playing basketball. I stopped and gaped at all the things around me. Finally, my eyes were pulled towards the basketball courts. Now, this is my kind of thing. I thought.

Before I could run off and play basketball with the others, Percy stood in front of me with his mouth wide open. I was going to tell him to stop looking at me like that but I noticed that he wasn't looking at me; he was looking at something above me.

Hesitantly, I looked up just in time to see a small U-shaped harp with strings fixed to a crossbar. I think it was called a lyre.

"Well, look at that," exclaimed Percy. "You just got claimed. You now go to cabin seven instead of eleven." He led me towards a golden cabin that when the sun hit it, it would look too bright that you had to shield your eyes.

"Okay, I got to ask. Who's my parent?" I asked, rubbing the blindness out of my eyes (yes, I know I'm not the brightest person there is but it is a valid question for a someone in my position, right?).

"Apollo, the god of music (mainly the lyre), prophecy, medicine, archery (but not for war or hunting), and poetry. You know it would makes sense since you write songs on your spare time, right?" Percy asked me.

"Yeah. So, what happens from here?"

"Now you'll meet your counselor, Will Solace. He will tell you all the rules and your schedule."

"Okay, where do I find him?" I questioned. Percy just turned around, smiled at me and kept on walking. I followed him all the way to the cabin's door and Percy knocked on it.

A surfer looking boy with sun-kissed hair and blue eyes opened the door. "Hey, Percy." he greeted.

"Hey, Will. I got a new camper for you." Percy told him.

He looked at Percy in confusion. "You mean, to show him around or determined."

"Determined? Determined for what? I'm determined to everything I set my mind to.. if that's what you're asking." I interjected.

They both looked at me as if to say 'what are you talking about,' but Percy shrugged it off and answered him. "Oh, he's determined alright."

"See, Percy agrees." I instilled. Both of them looked at me weirdly again and Will turned to Percy.

"Percy, are you sure?" he questioned and Percy nodded. "Positive?"

"Yup. Good luck with your new cabin mate." And with that, he nodded at me and left.

"Hey! What does that suppose to mean?" I called after him. I turned around to face Will and I smile up at him for which he was at least six inches taller than me.

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood. I'm Will Solace, Apollo councilor." he stuck out his hand out for me to shake it. I accepted the gestured by returning the handshake.

"I'm Jessie Martinez... New camper?" I introduced myself.

"Glad to have you here, Jessie." he said as he led me into the cabin. "This is where you are going to be sleeping." he point at a bunk.

I looked at the bunk Will pointed to and then back at him. I gave him a look at said 'Are you serious?' but I shrugged it off and place my belongs on the bed.

"This trunk at the foot of your bed is yours." Will continued. "Here at cabin seven, we have three simple rules. Rule number one: When a camper is hurt and you are close to the injured camper, you must help them. Rule number two: Always show up to archery class. And rule number three: You must help out in the infirmary. Abide by these rules and you won't get punished." Will ended with a smile.

Nervous, I asked him, "What kind of punishment?" Once I said that, two heads popped out of a doorway close by. They both had terrified looks on their faces and another person who was in there, came out and headed for the door behind me.

Right before the guy could passed me, he looked at me with hidden fear in his eyes. "Dude, you don't want to know. Let's just say it's cruel and unusual punishment." And with that, he left the cabin.

I looked back at Will, he had turned around to a table and was writing something on a piece of paper. When he finished, he spun around to face me and handed me the paper.

"This is your temporary schedule. Once you get in the rhythm of how life at camp is, you can pick and choose what you want to do everyday. However, all of the Apollo kids must attend archery class together," he explained. He then looked at the sun dial that was outside the window and he slowly started to say, "Well, since dinner is about an hour away, we might as well find a sword for you."

He left the cabin with me reluctantly following behind him. The rest of the day went by in a blur. The next thing I knew was that we had to start the campfire songs and then heading back to the cabin where I crashed until this morning. (A/N: You forgot that in the beginning it said 'yesterday,' didn't you?)

As of this morning, I followed the schedule that Will wrote for me yesterday. So far, everything has been a little difficult for me to understand. However, around noon, Will assigned me sword-fighting training and I saw Annabeth on the far side of the arena.

She was practicing her attacks on one of many straw dummies that were placed around the arena. Looking at her, I couldn't help seeing her as an angry goddess smiting down everyone and everything that stood in her way.

I simply couldn't take my eyes off of her until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I quickly spun around to see who it was and saw the guy who told me I didn't want to know what kind of punishment. Yesterday, I found out that his name was David and that he was one of best sword fighters in Apollo cabin.

"Hey, Jessie, are you ready for your lessons?" he inquired.

Still having Annabeth in my head, I lamely answered, "Uh, yeah. Sure."

After that, I tried to focus on David and what he was saying but I would sneak glances at Annabeth and my mind would wonder off again. About thirty minutes passed when Annabeth finally left the arena and I was able to hear more of what David was talking about. Throughout the rest of the day, I had a melody running through my head.

When there was about an hour until dinner, Will had scheduled me to have free time, so I ran back to the cabin and crashed onto my bed. Once I got comfortable in my bed, I placed my hands behind my head and the melody I heard earlier played through my head again, only this time there weren't any distractions. After a minute or so, words began to take shape and form lyrics. And then, I came up with the perfect song for her.

Well, just a look at that girl with the lights comin' up in her eyes
She's got to be somebody's babe
She must be somebody's babe
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by

Little did I know that she was one of the undefeated sword fighters in camp. Well, next to Percy, of course.

She's got to be somebody's babe
She must be somebody's babe
She's got to be somebody's babe
She's so fine

She is so pretty that she beats Aphrodite and her children combine by a long shot.

She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's babe, alright

If she is single, I wouldn't believe that. She's really got to be some one's girlfriend.

I heard her talkin' with her friend
When she thought nobody else was around
She said she's got to be somebody's babe
She must be somebody's babe
'Cause when the cars and the signs
And the street lights light up the town

She shines so beautifully under them, they making me fall for her even more than I think I am already. It causes her eyes to twinkle in her own little special way.

She's got to be somebody's babe
She must be somebody's babe
She's got to be somebody's babe
She's so

She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's babe tonight

I actually asked David and he told me that she is single. That can't be right. However, he did say that Percy seemed to have a thing for her.

I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her outta my sight
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright
Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her
I'm gonna talk to her tonight

I've only met her yesterday when Percy was showing me around camp and I haven't talked to her cause I'm too scared to approach her. But I think I love with her, so I'm making my first move tonight.

Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight

Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight

… To Be Continued.
