Percy POV

"Annabeth?" I said disbelief and confusion.

"Yeah, um, kinda got mobbed by the Aphrodite cabin." She said in a small voice. I thought that was cute.

"Y-you look nice" I stammered. Gods I must have looked like an idiot. Her face fell.

"Just nice? I wanted something more but I guess you don't like it." Annabeth whispered. She looked about ready to cry. I am not good with girls.

"No no you look really pretty. Beautiful." I assured her. She blushed but looked up doubtfully.

"How do I know you aren't lying?" She questioned. I smiled.

"You can trust me." I told her. She looked up at me.

"Let's go to the beach." I suggested.

"So, how did the tour go?" She asked.

"Good." I replied. Me and Ava had agreed to meet up at the beach for a date this evening and- shoot! I forgot about the date! I didn't know how to tell Annabeth so I decided to just straight forward tell her.

"Um, Annabeth, I kind of have a date with Ava right now so I have to go?" It came out more like a question. Annabeth glared at me.

"You know Percy are we ever going to have time for each other again? Like best friends? And why didn't you tell me that you have a girlfriend!" She said, sounding hurt. I felt horrible.

"Annabeth, I'm so sorry I'll make it up to you. I promise. I just have to go before-oh." I said, turning around. Ava was there, and she was not happy.

"What are you doing here! I waited 15 minutes for you. And why are you talking to her?" She asked with cold eyes. I flinched.

"I'm sorry Ava, I didn't want to be late to our first date. I was just talking to Annabeth." I said.

"What about 'You look really pretty. Beautiful.'" She imitated.

"Ava I didn't mean it." I said.

"You didn't mean it?" Annabeth echoed, looking once again like she was about to cry.

"No! It's just that I didn't mean to offend Ava." I reassured her.

"Percy! Just don't be late to our next date okay?" I nodded. "Great." She said. Then she leaned in for a kiss. Our lips touched, and I kissed her passionately. I heard a gasp, followed by sobs. I turned around just in time to see Annabeth run off towards the cabins.

"Well I have to go" Ava said, after an awkward moment.

"And I have to go apologize." I replied. "Bye."

And then I ran off towards the Athena cabin.

"Malcolm." I said, once he opened the door. "Have you seen Annabeth anywhere?"

"No, but I saw her run off to the Poseidon cabin 5 minutes ago. Is something wrong?"

"Nah, just asking." I lied. Then I hurried off to my cabin, cabin 3.

What I saw in there broke my heart. Annabeth was sobbing in the corner with a picture of me in her hand. She looked at it.

"Why seaweed brain, why?" She sobbed. I kneeled down in front of her and tucked a golden lock behind her ear. She looked up and cried into my shoulder. Somehow her makeup or clothes weren't ruined. It must have been the Aphrodite cabin's magic or something. She punched me in the chest, though it didn't really hurt.

"You're an idiot. You kissed Ava right in front of me! You lied to me when you said I looked beautiful, and you never spend time with me anymore. Sometimes I just doubt if you're still my best friend." My eyes widened at that. I hugged her and hesitantly she hugged me back.

"You will always be my best friend forever Annabeth, even if we die." I told her. She look at me doubtfully again. "I swear on river Styx." I said. Thunder boomed in the distance. I saw Annabeth look at me with wide eyes. Then her face broke into a smile.

"Amazing how you always convince me to stay with you." She muttered. I chuckled.

"I have my ways." I joked. "By the way, you still look great" I said. She blushed.

"Not too shabby yourself seaweed brain."
