A/N: TWO UPDATES IN ONE DAY- I'M ON A ROLL! So I probably won't be able to keep this up - especially with school in the Fall and I'm going on holiday tomorrow, but I'll do my best.

I'd like to ask for more prompts, please, because they allow me to write outside my comfort zone to help me become a better writer, for fun, etc., etc.

But thanks, once again, for all the support! YOU, reading this, yes YOU, are awesome. :D

Disclaimer: I doubt RR will be reading this in order for me to put a disclaimer, but - just in case ;) - I don't own any of the PJO characters!

WARNING: language & this is an AU

When the new girl had first transferred halfway through the school year from some posh school in San Francisco, Percy hadn't even bothered to learn her name. But he'd found it out anyways, because she was always being called on in class. Always, always.

She was always raising her hand, and even when she got the answer wrong (in front of the whole class) she didn't falter or blush, just awaited the correct answer with a calm demeanor. And then slowly, throughout the school year, he began to develop a crush on Annabeth, the girl he never talked to. He avoided her in the hallways, because the crush had developed so far that every time he saw those familiar blonde curls, he turned very pink in the face. Like, bright pink. A pink so shockingly pink, even the art teacher, in classroom 5A, would go "Whoa! I've never seen such a pigmented pink before!"

And Percy was just building up the confidence to talk to her, when everyone just left for summer. And then, at first, he thought yes, I'm free from turning shockingly pink. But then he started to dream about her. And they were embarrassing, never-ever-share-even-with-your-closest-friends dreams, too.

Then school started again and Percy was looking forward to seeing her again. To actually talking to her, this time around. But she was gone. She wasn't in any classes, or on the attendance sheet. She had just disappeared. So he tried talking to her friends, but all they said was 'she moved to California'. And that didn't really help, because he needed to talk to her.

Finally he saw her again. At an ice cream parlor with a group of her friends. And they were all laughing and eating ice cream and enjoying themselves. He wanted to go talk to her, but she was busy. With her friends. So he waited, almost creepily, until only Annabeth was left. And then he talked to her.

And it didn't take very long until he realized he was flirting with her. And he tried to stop, because they were just supposed to become friends first. She hadn't even noticed him last year, despite being captain of the swim team and all. So then he was just silent. And it was awkward. And he was getting up to leave, when Annabeth asked him to wait. And so he waited. And then she was there, kissing him. And he kissed back and it turned out she, too, had had a crush on him during that school year and she, too, hadn't had the confidence to even talk to him.

And then they laughed. And they hugged. And they kissed, because Annabeth was a damn good kisser, but then she had to go back to California, because that's where her parents lived and so, by relation, that's where she lived.

So they said goodbye. And promised to write. And call. And get together someday down the line.

Because now his crush had developed into love.

And so had hers.

A/N: Aww... okay, how did you like it? Good, hopefully? It may be riddled with tons of grammatical errors, so I do apologize for that.

Once again, thanks for following, favouriting and reviewing, it really makes my day... :D

PROMPTS, PLEASE?
