A/N: Okay, my second oneshot! It's an AU, with Annabeth having a crush on lifeguard!Percy. I'm still new to this, so please leave reviews and follow, because I feel like I'll be writing more random oneshots for this amazing ship. Since it's Annabeth, it might be a little OOC for her to act like this, haha. K bye!

Annabeth wished that summer would never be over. To be more specific, she wished the lifeguard at the town swimming pool would never leave. Annabeth was currently lounging at the smelly pool, dipping her feet in at the shallow end and staring at the lifeguard. Scrunching her nose, she knew it was only because of the lifeguard Annabeth even thought of sticking around. She only knew his name because of of someone occasionally hollering for him, and that he was the most gorgeous thing that Annabeth ever laid her eyes on. She even fell in love with his name, Percy. He had the looks of a god, with stark black hair and sea-green eyes. He looked about 16~17, just about Annabeth's age. He worked in two-hour shifts from 2~4 on Monday through Friday. And no, she did not stalk him to gain this information. She just hung around at the pool long enough to take notes on his schedule. It also helped her get this amazing tan, so it did have benefits.

She first saw him when she was forced to take her little stepbrothers to the town pool. Her eyes fell on his amazing body resting in the lifeguard chair, nonchalantly fanning himself and eating ice cream. Annabeth got so distracted she almost didn't notice when one of her little brothers, Bobby, started drowning. In the end, he was fine so it didn't really matter. She came everyday after that for the next two months or so, just staring at him from a safe distance hidden between sweaty old ladies and crying children. He was tall, muscular, and tan. He wasn't a jerk though, somehow. It was almost science, if you're super hot, there's a 99.9% you are the type of person to kick baby owls if they're standing in front of you without kissing the ground you walk upon. Well, obviously Percy fell into that .1%. He was kind to all the screaming kids no matter how much they barfed, and stayed super friendly to whatever senior started a conversation with him about their ingrown toe or something. Despite that, Annabeth wasn't able to talk to him the whole summer, nor get him to notice Annabeth was alive. It made Annabeth want to offer herself as a sacrifice just by looking the boy, how can she try to talk to him? When she was younger, she imagined her years as a teen as going out with her friends, having a super cute boyfriend, and studying hard to go to the most prestigious college imaginable. Now she was spending lonely days at the pool, skipping summer school. Annabeth wasn't dumb, she excelled in math and science. But she just couldn't agree with history; it always felt so wrong. Anyways, it seemed that Annabeth was at least able to find a cute boy, and if she was lucky enough, boyfriend. Hopefully before school started in two weeks. If she can ever get the guts to talk to the fool, that is.

Annabeth fidgeted in her bikini. She bought a new one yesterday, just in that tiny hope that the lifeguard would notice. It was an orange halter-top bikini, and had a quite uncomfortable bottom. She squirmed one more time, promising herself to buy better bikinis next time. She looked up to find the lifeguard, and then almost fell into the pool.

He was looking at her.

To make sure she wasn't dreaming, she snuck one more look at Percy. He was. She quickly averted her eyes, hoping her face wasn't as red as it felt.

The bikini worked! She'll wear this forever from now on, when she gets old and fat she'll have to stay in shape just so she can fit into this. Annabeth's heart raced, and she couldn't seem to lift her head up again. She tried to quietly slip into the pool, and sunk as low so the water was right under her nose. When she worked up enough courage to look up again, she was shocked to find that Percy was gone.

Where'd he go?

Annabeth turned around, and almost fainted when she found Percy nose-to-nose with her. Percy's amazing face was leaning down to face her. He was sitting on the edge of the pool, as though he was about to get in.

"OHMY- um. Well, how did you- when did you- uh, hi Percy." Annabeth stuttered. Wait, why did she say his name!?

"How do you know my name?" Percy asked. Wow, he looked hot when he furrowed his eyebrows together like that. Also, his voice was calm and deep, it sounded like silk to her ears. He could be reading her history textbook out loud to her, and she could listen to him all day.

Oh my gods, Annabeth, just shut up. Please. Just don't talk ever again.

"Oh, I just kinda heard it while I was around, you know." And when I was stalking you relentlessly for the past two months and a half. Annabeth mentally added.

"Really? Well, you are a regular, so-"

"You've noticed me?" Annabeth stopped herself. Wow, that sounded needy. And she cut him off. This was going just great.

"Haha, yeah, you come everyday. I would be blind to not notice you." His cheeks colored as he said that last line.

He knew I was here the whole time? Annabeth's legs felt wobbly, so she resorted to lightly treading. In the shallow side.

"So-" Annabeth's voice cracked. She winced, and tried again. "So, a lifeguard?"

"Yeah, I always loved swimming, and I needed a part time job over the summer for tutoring. I kinda suck at Pre-Calc, so I need all the help I can get." He scratched the back of his neck. He looked like an adorable baby when he did that, it made Annabeth want to kiss him. Wow, she was sick.

Wait, tutoring? In Pre-Calc? That was Annabeth's specialty. She just might have a chance.

"So, are you getting tutored right now?" Annabeth questioned hopefully.

"Nah, I don't have enough money saved up yet to find a good enough tutor." Percy replied.

Yes!

"You know, I could try to tutor you, for free. I don't know if I look it, but I'm pretty good at Pre-Calc." Annabeth offered. Please, please-

"For free? Really? But I don't even know you!" Percy gasped.

Ouch. Well, it was true. Of course it didn't feel that way to Annabeth.

"It's fine. I mean, I don't have much else to do, and you're cute enough too." Did Annabeth just say that? Please don't tell her that she just said that. She sounded like she tutored cute boys to feast on their flesh or something.

Before she can recover, something was off about Percy. He suddenly seemed really interested in the water, and he was blushing. A lot. Was he getting flustered? Over Annabeth?

Percy chuckled, and said, "Bold, aren't you? Um, sure. Wanna go to Starbucks after my shift so we can, uh, work things out about my tutoring?"

Yes, yes, YES! Annabeth nearly squealed. "Sounds like a da- study date." She corrected herself. Percy seemed to notice anyways, and smiled at her. Annabeth's confidence slowly went up.

Suddenly some kid barfed again, so Percy had to go. He stood up, and looked back at her. "Wait, I never even learned your name."

"Annabeth," she said. Percy flashed one last stunning grin at her, and ran after the poor kid to clean up the mess. Annabeth got out of the pool, and wrapped the towel around her dripping body. She should've been cold after just taking a dip in the pool, but she just felt very, very warm.

She headed towards the women's changing room, smiling to herself as she got ready for her Starbucks date.
