Chapter 3: The Love Has Begun

Percy's Point of View:
I must be the luckiest guy on earth. The girl I love has the same feelings for me, too? That's one-in-a-million material. Anyway, after Annabeth said she loved me, we decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend. After some time on the beach kissing and holding onto each other, we went to my cabin and slept there. Yes, both of us in the same bed, but nothing happened. Jamie was up, even though it was 1:00 in the morning, and once he saw us, he told me "Whoa, dude, hold on to her; she's someone who you don't want to let go of." He then said to Annabeth "Do you know how much my brother thinks about you? You should hear him in his sleep, he's like 'Oh Annabeth' and-"I cut him off by putting my hand over his mouth, and he nodded, understanding my embarrassment. He looked at Annabeth and then me, and then made some sexual gestures, so I punched him in the face. Afterwards, we went to sleep. I awoke to the sound of laughter, so I went and looked for the person who did it without waking Annabeth, who was sleeping soundly on my chest. I set her down gently and kissed her forehead. Then I headed to who I thought had caused it: the Hermes cabin. When I got inside, I saw Jamie showing something to Connor and Travis. They all laughed, and I got a glimpse of what they were watching: Annabeth and I sleeping together. We had moved around during the night, but I don't know who taped it.

"Percy, enjoy your sleep last night?" Jamie said.
"Yes, Percy, how was sleeping with Annabeth?" both Travis and Connor asked.
"Jamie, did you tape me sleeping last night?" I asked, and Jamie nodded.
"I thought you guys were going to do something last night, so I stayed up taping you. When you didn't do anything, I just got up and woke up Thalia and Nico. They came over and saw you guys sleeping in each other's grasp. They asked if you were together. I just laughed, and told them 'Yes, I do think they're together now.' Once done, I came here."

"Don't you have anything else to do besides watch me and Annabeth?" I asked Jamie, but regretted it as soon as I said it. Jamie's girlfriend had dumped him because she thought he was a freak and never wanted to see him again. After that, he just watched other couples, and hasn't done anything with his love life since. Jamie looked at me, and for a moment, I thought I saw his eyes go red, but it was replaced by the unusual blue of his eyes. "You know, if it bothered you that much, you could have said something Percy." Jamie said, looking at something incoherently. I sighed and said "Why don't you just get an Aphrodite girl to be your girlfriend?"

He looked at me and said the truest words I've ever heard him say: "I want a girl who is different than the rest, someone who is noticed, not another face." "Do you want to play some 5-person truth or dare?" he asked me. "Uh, sure, why not?" I answered. He grinned the way a 12-year-old would, and ran off. When I saw him again, he said it would be in our cabin at 6:00, which was now. Once we arrived, the others (Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico) were sitting in a circle, debating who the best hero was. We sat down and started.

Jamie's Point of View:

"Nico, do you pick truth or dare?"
"Dare."

I leaned over and asked Percy for a dare as payback against Nico. Percy told it to me, and when I told Nico, he flipped.
"Why do I have to do this?"
"It's because you forced Percy to rush into a relationship, which he wasn't planning for." I snapped back. Nico sighed, and then ran off to the Aphrodite cabin. He went in and asked for a makeover. When he came back out, he looked like a blonde Ozzy Osbourne with pink accessories. We stifled a laugh and watched the next part unfold. He proceeded to the stage in the pavilion, and got everyone's attention. Once done, he sung the Barbie girl theme song. Percy and I got it all on tape, and posted it on the Internet. When Nico came back, we all laughed and proceeded to play the game.

"Ok, Annabeth, truth or dare?" Nico asked.

"I pick dare."

"I dare you to go into the closet with…JAMIE!"

I looked at Percy and Annabeth for approval, who nodded. We then headed towards the closet. Once in, we heard a *click* and we couldn't get out. We decided to talk instead of kiss (obviously).

"Jamie, do you think that Percy meant that song he sang?" Annabeth asked.

"Annabeth, you do realize how many years Percy has tried to be with you, and how many times he went to you in your times of need. You should know the answer to that."

"Wait, what does Percy moan about in his sleep?" Annabeth curiously asked.

"He only moans about you, and that was random you pervert."

"Oh, that's…nice, I guess; do you have a girl you love, Jamie?"

I pondered that, and I finally answered: ''I love your younger sister, Delia."

"Aw, that's so sweet. When did you realize that you loved her?" she asked. "20 minutes ago, when Percy asked if I would have some random Aphrodite girl to love. I told him 'I want someone who is different,' and I thought that I don't care for guys who have 3 girls at once. I only want one."

Annabeth then said "Do you want me to help you in getting a date with Delia?" I said "Yes, if you don't mind." She smiled, and I realized why Percy loved her so much: she had a nice personality, which was only topped by her looks and skill. Then, the door opened and Nico screamed "Ok you two can stop kissi-"he never finished because I punched him and sat back down. Percy whispered to me" Did you do anything?" and I said, in response "We just talked." He smiled, said thank you, and it was Annabeth's turn to ask.

"Jamie, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to go and ask out my sister, Delia, out on a date for Friday." she said. I blushed, and I think everyone else noticed, so they cracked some smiles at my face. "Let's go ahead and do this!" I said, secretly going to thank Annabeth later.

I walked over to the Athena cabin and knocked on the door. Malcolm answered, and I asked if Delia was there. He said yes and let me in. She was helping one of the younger boys who had trouble earlier with some of the Ares' kids. This is why I loved her: she always is helping someone, no matter who it is or what the problem is. I looked at her gorgeous smile, with her tan skin and blue eyes like mine. She asked me "Is everything alright? You seem a little down, Jamie. Care to tell me what happened?"

"I don't know; I must've fallen in love with a girl who is way out of my league. Are you single?" I asked her. She nodded and I smiled. "Do you want to go see a movie sometime, like Friday?" I asked her. She smiled and said yes. I said I'll pick her up at 8:00, and we said goodbye.

"Wow, I'm stupid sometimes. It must come with being Kelpy the Great. Anyway, Thalia, truth or dare?"

Thalia said "Dare."

"I dare you to go into the closet with Nico."

"OK!" she squealed and pulled Nico into the closet.

"Ok Annabeth, truth or dare?" Percy said.

"Dare."

"I dare you to make out with me for 20 minutes." Percy said.

"OK!" she squealed.

I decided to go and get Delia to join this party. We went in and started kissing, also.

"Ok Delia, truth or dare?" I asked her.

"I'll go with truth."

"Do you love me?"

"Does this answer your question?" she asked as she put her hands around my neck and kissed me. I kissed her back, and, we all eventually snapped out of it and got back to the game.

"Annabeth, truth or dare?" Delia asked.

"I pick dare."

"I dare you to go around the camp yelling 'I LOVE PERCY' at the top of your lungs."

"Fine," Annabeth muttered under her breath as she left. Once she got back, two more people joined our game: Travis and Connor Stoll.
