In all truth when it came to asking a girl out I had zero experience. In between getting expelled and long four hour detentions who had time for a social life? Hell I don't even think I had crush—Oh wait nope that's a lie. Cindy Bates, fifth grade, yeah she was cute. That brunette had these sparkly blue eyes that made you feel like you were stranded in pacific. Which was a good feeling being the son of a sea god and yeah. Anyways even that lasted a short while after I got kicked out of Mrs. Harriet's after, and I quote, '' losing the hamster''. Truth was I didn't lose it, I set it free. Poor thing was dying in there. In my defense I did the hamster justice. After that I was exchanged into another class; bye bye pretty eye Cindy.

So my history with girls wasn't the best, yeah so what it's not like I needed it. "Needed" As in past tense. Turns out a sixteen year old with no dating history is a loser, not that I care. I'm busting my behind fighting gods and mythical monsters, again no time. So why am I suddenly interested in girls, well, one girl actually, and why is it becoming extremely difficult to ask her out? Well here's the thing; how in Zeus name am I Percy Jackson, who has never had a girlfriend, going to ask one of camp-half-blood's most wanted out? Oh Aphrodite help me.

She wasn't my dream girl. Certainly not someone I had in mind, then again when does life ever listen to anybody?

She is difficult, very, very difficult. Imagine; a girl gifted with knowledge, strength, and, uhm, looks. Ok now add Athena as a mother and a stubborn temper. You know the people who no matter what it is they answer "I know". Sha' that's her.

We didn't like the same stuff.

Architecture, damn who in Hades name-puh. I had no patience for math why would I for Architecture?

I have no idea why but she didn't like surfing. "its to hard" Or "the angle in which the board is built could not possibly sustain me" that one was my favorite. Sustain? Please! I was Poseidon's son for crying out loud! If she fell I would for sure catch her….after the third time.

What? A lesson can't be learned without pain right? Hey just quoting what she said.

So today, no, tomorrow….Ok someday, when I fight up the courage and get my head out of the sand I'll ask her out.

Watch out Annabeth Chase.
