Haha Two chapters in one day. Well I think it was I one day. I've kind of lost my sense of time resently. I'll stop boring you and just let you read.


Percy P.O.V.

Percy groaned as he stepped out of the shower-for the fifth time- and he still smelled like Aphrodite's perfume. Finally he gave up on washing away the smell and decided to cover it with some cologne.

It worked- sort of. Percy had a feeling that everyone would be avoiding him the rest of the day, because of how strong his smell was.

Man he couldn't have been more wrong.

As Percy walked to the arena to practice with riptide for a bit everyone seemed to be calling out to him.

"Hi Percy," a Demeter girl called, her name was Jane or something along those lines.

"Lookin' good Jackson," Hilary, a Apollo girl from Texas said. "How you doin' t'day?"

"Um... Good, and you?" Percy asked to be polite.

"I doin' fine. The ain't nothin' that could ruin t'day," Hilary said with a wink. She brushed her hand on Percy's as she passed.

"Percy," Alissa, an Aphrodite girl called. "You're looking good today." She smiled and flipped her hair flirtatiously.

"Yeah, you too," Percy said. He tried to step around her but Alissa had other ideas. She stepped close to him and put a hand on his chest.

"Listen," she said. "I'm planing a little party just before the summer session end, and I was hoping you would come." She began drawing little hearts, with her first finger, on Percy's chest.

"Sure...Um... Maybe...uh," Percy stammered. "If nothing comes up, I'll be there."

"Cool," Alissa said. She leaned forward as if to kiss him until someone cleared their throat. Alissa looked over Percy's shoulder and pulled away quickly.

Percy turned around to see Annabeth with her arms folded, leaning on her left leg, a threatening smile on her face. Percy mouthed 'Thank you' to her and her smile softened. She walked forward and hooked her arm through Percy's.

"I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" Annabeth asked.

"No," Percy said. "I was just about to go. It was nice taking with you Alissa."

"Yeah," Alissa said hotly looking at Annabeth with an angry expression. She smiled sweetly when she looked back a Percy. "We should do this more often, don't you think?"

What was with girls and turning EVERYTHING into a question? Percy thought.

"Sure," Percy said before Annabeth basically dragged him away. Once in the arena, where no one could see them, Annabeth stopped.

"I hope Alissa wasn't the girl you're crushing on, because I may have just ruined it," Annabeth said. Under her joking tone, she sounded almost upset.

"Not at all," Percy said slipping his arm put of Annabeth's. "Thanks, you saved my life back there."

"What else is new?" Annabeth asked. She pulled her dagger and winked. "Feel like a round?"

Percy smiled and pulled riptide. "You have to ask?"

Annabeth's P.O.V.

Annabeth felt strange. When she say Percy, with Alissa all over him, she had gotten so angry it took all her will power not to rip the witch's head off. Instead Annabeth simply gave Alissa her best death glare and clung onto Percy as if he was hers.

Now, with Percy coming at her with a cocky smile and sword, she couldn't help but notice how gorgeous he was. With his messy black hair that was, for some reason, endearing. His beautiful green eyes that had an endless depth to them. His crooked smile, but straight teeth. His muscles. Every part of him was muscular, not creepy, bulging, veiny muscles. Natural, toned muscles, with...

'Annabeth, snap out of it,' Annabeth thought, mentally slapping herself. 'He's your best friend. You are not suppose to think of him that way. Even if you are, not in the middle of a fight! Move!' she jumped out of the way as Percy swung riptide. He suddenly stopped and stood up straight.

"Are you alright, Annabeth?" Percy asked capping riptide. "You seem a little out of it today."

"Sorry," Annabeth said. "Long day."

"Tell me about it," Percy said with an exasperated sigh. "I bet mine was worse than yours."

"You were called to talk to Aphrodite," Annabeth said. "I can't top that. What was that about anyway?"

Percy blushed. "Well... You know, the usual."

"The usual?" Annabeth asked unconsciously stepping closer to Percy. "Does she talk to you often."

"Well no," Percy said taking a step back. "Just once before and she is the goddess of love so..."

"When did she talk to you the first time?" Annabeth interrupted.

"Um... When you went missing that one year," Percy said, blushing redder and running a hand through his messy hair, nervously. He looked at his wrist. "Oh look at the time," he said even though he wasn't wearing a watch. "It's almost time for dinner."

"No it's not," Annabeth whispered. She hadn't noticed that she had backed Percy into a corner and they were standing so close they were almost touching.

"Well I'm sure there's... Something we're late for," Percy said frantically.

"I'm sure they won't miss us to much," Annabeth said, cocking her head to the side. She leaned in a bit and her eye's began to flutter close when, out of nowhere, Connor Stoll appeared. Annabeth jumped away from Percy before they can see anything.

"Oh hey, Annabeth," Connor panted. "Chiron asked if you would show this new camper around."

"What new camper?" Annabeth asked.

"What?" Connor asked looking around. "Dang it. I lost her. Wait no there she is." A little girl about nine came running in.

"Why can't you show her around?" Annabeth asked.

"Do you know me at all?" Connor asked.

"Right, she wouldn't make it the first day," Annabeth said with a roll of her eyes.

"What!" the little girl asked in alarm.

"Oh don't worry sweetie," Annabeth said softly. "We're safe here, I was only kidding. But it would be wise to stay away from the Stolls at all times. Now what's your name?"

"Megan," she said.

"Well Megan," Annabeth said. "How about we go see the cabin." She took the little girls hand and lead her away.

Percy's P.O.V.

Percy sat down hard in once Annabeth left. Had she really just tried to kiss him? Sure she had kissed him before, but that was a 'You're going to die and I will never see you again' kind of kiss.

"What's wrong with you?" Connor asked.

"It's official," Percy said shaking his head slightly. "I've gone insane."
