I entered the girls locker room laughing. I got changed into short blue shorts, a gray shirt that said "Goode" and snickers. When I walked to the gym I started looking for Ethan but I guess he was still changing. I saw Thalia talking with Luke, Grover, Silena, Beckenford (Beckenford and Silena weren't exactly talking), the Stoll brothers and Katie. I walked over them and when they saw me they stopped talking, that kind of annoyed me, so I ignored them and walked past them. Then I heard someone behind me.

"Hey, Wise Girl" Percy said as I turned around.

"Wise Girl? Really?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes! It's a good nickname!" He said smiling.

"Whatever you say… Seaweed Brain, now I know why Thalia calls you Kelp Head…" I said playfully. Then the coach blew his whistle and everyone turned to look at him. He said the same speech he says every year about how we were going to work very hard this year… bla bla bla.

"Make two teams!" He said. There was a mess in the gym the coach blew his whistle again.

"Forget it, I'll make the teams." He started calling names.

"Nakamura!" He called; I didn't notice Ethan was standing beside me.

"Chase." I walked toward my team, Percy was there he just smiled at me; I turned to look at Ethan- he was on the other team- he was looking at me with mischievous smile on his face. When the teams were finally made the coach said we were going to play dodge ball. The game passed fast, the first one who got hit was Sophie who was flirting with Percy, she is a very popular girl, but I don't know why, she is an airhead… When the game finally ended (my team won, of course) I went to get change.

The week passed fast, Percy was becoming one of closest friends, and he had only been a week in school! Ethan wasn't very happy with that… But I don't know why he hated Percy so much; I mean Percy was a really cool.

It was Friday night, 8 o'clock, and Ethan had totally forgotten about our date. I was really mad. He stood me up! I couldn't believe it, stupid Ethan; he was going to give me an explanation on Monday, and it better be good… I called him like 10 times, but it always sends me to his voice mail, I left him like 30 voice mails, the last ones weren't very nice, but he totally deserved it…

Ethan had been acting really weird this week; I almost didn't see him... And one time when I was with him I saw him eyeing a girl, but I let that passed, Ethan would never cheat on me. Well I hoped so…

It was Ethan's fault that I spent so much time with Percy, he was always busy, I don't know with what he was always so busy…

Oh and if you are wondering about the date, he stood me up, he went to my house the next day and I was so mad at him, I closed the door in his face, but then he started saying all this beautiful thing I ended up tackling him with a hug, I am such a softie…

Percy was in the swimming team, and they said he was very good, but he should be, he told me his dad used to be a professional swimmer, and his father's name was Poseidon, so I guess he practically grew in the water.

I was waiting for Percy in the swimming pool, we were supposed t catch a movie with our friends, but he had swimming practice, and I had volleyball practice, so we were going to get to the movie theatre together, I had invited Ethan, but of course he had something to do.

My practice ended up earlier because the coach felt really bad so she had to go home, so here I was sitting in the stands waiting for Percy, when his practice finally ended he got out of the swimming pool.

"Hey Wise Girl." He said as he took of his swimming hat, I tried hard to ignore the fact that he was shirtless, but it was kind of impossible, I mean have you seen this guy shirtless? He looked very sexy…

Shame on you Annabeth! You have a boyfriend! I thought… But damn he looked good, his beautiful sea- green eyes were shining, and his hair was wet and messy… He looked really hot…

I scolded myself, I shouldn't be thinking like this! I have a boyfriend!

"Hello Seaweed Brain…" I was trying to act cool, but I guess he felt I was kind of uncomfortable so he put the towel round him; it was really hot in here. "You should go get change… Thalia has been calling me like crazy." I said.

"Okay, I'll be here in a minute…" He said, he went to pick his stuff and then he entered to the showers. About ten minutes later he went out of the showers, dressed in dark blue jeans, and a white shirt that showed his muscles… Stop it!

"Ready to go?" I nodded, we went to his car and he opened the door for me. My mom was using my car, so Thalia gave me a ride this morning.

"Nice car…" I said as he started the engine he grinned at me. It smelled of his cologne, it was a black mustang, I don't know a lot about cars, but my father used to have a mustang.

"Thanks, it used to be my dads, and it took a lot of convincing for him to give it to me… "He said. The mall was very close to the school; it was like 3 blocks away. It was Friday, so the mall was packed… We started walking toward the entrance.

"Why are you so tanned?" Percy suddenly asked, I looked at him weirdly. "I mean… You live in New York…" He explained. He had been asking me these random questions all week; it was kind of weird actually.

"Well done Sherlock Holmes, I used to live in California, I moved here like two years ago…" I told him, but actually why was I still tanned… it was a mystery to me.

"Do you miss California?" He asked me, as he opened the entrance door for me.

"I guess sometimes, but I really like New York… And I met Ethan here, so I love it here." Percy's face darkened as I said Ethan's name. "So… You have been all your life here?" I asked him changing the subject; I still didn't know why they hate each other, every time I asked they just changed the subject.

"Yep… I've been all my life here… My mom and dad love this place…" We were in the cinema now; I saw Thalia and Luke kissing in a corner. As we approached them, a group of guys started checking me out, I got kind of uncomfortable, so Percy wrapped his arm around my shoulder and the guys looked away. Percy was really tall, like 6 something, so I guess he was kind of intimidating. He took his arm from around my shoulder and I saw he was blushing. I realize I was blushing too, I hated blushing, wait, why am I blushing, I just blush when I'm with Ethan…

To tell the truth I was spending too much time with Percy, and I was really close to him now, and with Ethan kind of ignoring me and Thalia going out with Luke, I hung out a lot more with Percy, and it was really fun, we spent a lot of time with Grover (Percy's best friend) and his girlfriend Juniper. Sometimes I felt really bad because, I think it looked like Percy and I were dating, and that's why felt really guilty when I hung out with him, I now, it is really confusing.

"Hey guys!" Percy said, but Thalia and Luke ignored us and they continued kissing, it was kind of uncomfortable. Percy cleared his throat, but they continued ignoring him, he turned to look at me. "Should we kiss?" He asked me smiling teasingly. I punched him in the arm, but I was lightly blushing.

"In your dreams Seaweed Brain." I said. "But since this two are just ignoring us, we should buy the tickets, and decide what movie we are going to see…"

We went to buy our tickets; we decided we were going to watch Sherlock Holmes, even though I had already seen it. I started taking my money but Percy stopped me.

"I'll pay!" He said taking his wallet from his back pocket. "What kind of guy would I be if I let you pay?" I started to protest, but he just ignored me and paid.

"Okay, then I'll buy the candies." I said. Thalia and Luke had finally stopped kissing and they started walking toward us, Luke had his hand around her shoulder.

"So now you remember us!" Percy said. "Well our movie starts in about 10 minutes, so you better go buy your tickets, we are going to see Sherlock Holmes."

"Okay, I'll go buy the tickets." Luke said, he gave a small kiss to Thalia and then he went with Percy.

I went to buy popcorn and Thalia followed me.

"What is going on between you and Percy?" Thalia asked me, with a smirk in her head.

"Thalia, we are just friends! I have a boyfriend, remember?"

"Really? Who? Oh! Now I remember… The guy who has been avoiding you this whole week!" Thalia said.

"He is not ignoring me!" I protested.

"Whatever you say, that's not the point… Annabeth, Percy likes you! I have caught him staring at you at class, and every time he sees you with Ethan he gets jealous, actually when that happens is very funny…" She said.

I had caught Percy starting at me in class, and every time I mention Ethan he gets kind of mad, but I never thought he would actually like me… I mean, even though he liked me, I would not break my two years relationship with Ethan.

"He doesn't like me! I mean is Percy, we are just friends, and he can't like me… He has only two weeks in the school." I said, but before she could answer Percy started walking toward us.

"Hey did you buy the candies?" Percy asked, as he approached us, interrupting my thoughts.

"Mmm… Yes." I answered a little bit uncomfortable.

"Good, then we should get going." He said, smiling at me showing his perfect white teeth.

The movie was amazing, even though I had already seen it. We were walking toward the parking lot; Percy was going to take me home.

"Did you like the movie?" He asked me.

"Yes! I loved it." I answered as I entered his car. "I read the books, and I like them very much."

"I have never read a book in my life; I prefer to see the movies… They are more fun." He said.

"Seaweed Brain…"

"Nerd…"

"Hey! I prefer Wise Girl." He laughed and smiled at me.

"I still think you are a nerd…"

I smacked him in the arm playfully. "How do you and Ethan know each other?" I asked him.

"We met at camp." He simply answered. We were now in front of my house, Percy stopped the car. He got off the car and I did too.

"Well, I guess I'll see you on Monday." I said, smiling at him, before he walked over to his car, I asked him. "Mmm… Perce, why does Ethan hate you?" He thought about it for a moment.

"I don't really know, I mean I didn't do anything to him, but I think he hates me because I am better than him… Even if that sounds stupid." I raised an eyebrow.

"Wow… I see you are very modest." I said, shooking my head. He just winked at me. "Do you 'hate' him?" He smiled cockily at me.

"Hmm, I didn't, until I met his girlfriend… I mean, that guy doesn't deserve a girl like her." He said taking a step closer to me. I blushed, and I took a step back.

"You know, I should get inside…" I said putting a stand of my blond hair behind my ear, I started walking toward my house, but a pair of strong hands grabbed my waist. I turned around and saw Percy's face inches away from me. I gulped nervously.

"What are you doing?" I asked him nervously. He just smiled, and started leaning down, the rational part of my brain told me to stop him, but for some reason I didn't. When his soft lips touched mine, I felt butterflies in my stomach, I kissed him back, and I almost forgot about everything… Almost. I pulled back, and slapped him, but I didn't felt angry, actually I wanted him to kiss me again. He didn't look shocked; actually he looked like if he was expecting it, but what he wasn't expecting was my reaction, I took him from the shirt and pulled him toward me as our lips touched again. I closed my eyes and he rested his hands around my waist. When I opened my eyes and saw his eyes looking at me, I felt guilty, I pulled away fast.

"I- I'm sorry." I said and started walking away fast.

"Wise Girl! Wait!" I heard him say, but I was already inside my house.

My parents were in the living room. "Hey Annabeth, how was the movie?" They asked me.

"It was great…" I said and started walking toward my room. I felt so guilty, and ashamed of myself, I had kissed Percy, and the worst part was that I liked it… Ugh, I would never look Ethan in the eyes again, I had cheated on him. I felt disgusted, I started to cry, and I couldn't believe I had done that! I am so stupid! I had kissed Percy. I started sobbing in my pillow until I fell asleep.
