The names and high schools were just made up by me, and if you are associated with the names, I do not mean to offend you in any way. Enjoy the chapter.

JOHN P.O.V.

Yes, it's me John Griffin, the San Francisco High swim team captain. Also, the most popular guy in school. I mean, with my 6-pack, tan skin, blonde hair, and green eyes, who wouldn't like me. All the guys are jealous of me. All the girls love to flirt with me and this year I've dated almost the entire senior girl population.

My team and I had just won the state championships for swimming and were flying to New York City for the Nationals. It was a long flight, about five and a half hours. But during the whole flight, I was posting selfies of myself on Instagram despite the rules. (A.N. Just so ya know, you should never do this on a plane bc it could affect the instruments on the plane. And that concludes the safety lesson sponsored by me (:) Finally we landed and drove to the new Hilton Hotel in the heart of NYC.

********************Epic Time Skip of Awesomeness************************

It was now the day of the swim meet the swim meet, and my team and I are pumped. We all know we'll win. I mean, how good can those East Coast kids be? While I was waiting for my event, the 200 meter freestyle, I saw a hot blonde eyes near the opposite side of the pool. Her hair was long and curled in perfect ringlets, and her eyes were a piercing storm gray. I know she'll hit on me, I thought, she's just another pretty dumb blonde. (A/N: I have nothing against blondes. One of my friends is blonde and she's one of the smartest people I know.) I walked up to her.

"Hey, babe. The name's John. You want to go out after the meet?" Her gray eyes stared at me furiously.

"First of all my name is Annabeth not 'babe', and second of all I have a boyfriend and I would never date you," Annabeth said, and she turned her heel and walked away. I smirked. She was just playing hard to get. After I win, she'll be all over me. I then heard the speaker announce my next event so I headed to the diving boards.

After crushing several high schools, we made it to the championship against Goode High. Their captain, Percy Jackson, is supposedly the "fastest" high school swimmer in the country, and every girl thinks that he's so perfect with his messy black hair and 'gorgeous sea green eyes'. But I know this is just a silly rumor. No one can possibly be faster than me.

I stepped onto the diving board for my last event of the day, the 400 meter medley.

"Swimmers, take your marks," boomed the announcer. BEEP! Everyone else and I dived into the pool. Stroke, stroke, breathe, stroke, stroke, breathe. I focused on that rhythm for the entire race, not affording to turn my attention to anything else. I was finally on my final lap and hit the board at the end of the pool, signaling my final time. I hopped out, expecting to see no one in front of the lanes except me, but there was already somebody else there. It was Percy Jackson! He couldn't have beat me. Maybe Percy got out after me and I didn't notice? Yeah, that must've been it. No way anyone is faster than me.

"Attention everyone," said the announcer, "It is time to announce the national highs school swimming champion. From Goode High," no, no, no, "Percy Jackson with a record-breaking time of 4:08.56 for his age!" This CANNOT be happening! I marched up to the judges' table and said that Percy was cheating, and I demanded the 1st place trophy to go to me. The judges told me that Percy did not cheat, and they disqualified me from the race! I was so furious. I turned around and marched off. Something then caught my eye. I saw that blonde from earlier talking to Percy.

I marched up to them and pushed that jerk out of the way, so I could talk to Annabeth.

"Hey, babe," I said, "stop talking to this cheater and go out with me."

Annabeth's eyes turned to a dark stormy grey, and they scared me a little bit. "As I said before, my name is Annabeth, not 'babe', and I have a boyfriend."

"And who might that be?" I asked.

"Me," a low voice said behind me.

I then turned around to see Percy, his glare angry and frightening.

"How could a cheater and dork like you, date this hot blonde chick?" I said, trying to challenge him.

Annabeth then stepped in between us and said, "John, I love Percy and he is not a cheater. What we've been through together is much more than an idiot like you could ever comprehend. I will never date a jerk like you!"

Are you serious?! I charged forward an punched Percy, expecting to hear a crack, but he talk my fist then kneed my stomach. I fell down, and when I was able to lift my head again, I saw Percy and Annabeth walking away laughing.

And that's how I met Percabeth

Wow guys. over 900 words for this chapter, and I didn't even notice how much I really wrote until I finished! For those of you who actually read author notes (I rarely do), I may not be updating at a constant rate because I have a lot of homework and finals are coming up soon, but I'll try to update at least once a week. I hope you guys enjoyed the story.
