Chapter 12

3rd Person POV

Annabeth hasn't heard much from Percy for a while. All he ever does is mumble and grunt every time she tries to talk to him, and he never looks at her.

Maybe it's because of his new girlfriend, Rachel.

Annabeth admits that she likes Rachel. Rachel is very nice—kind of weird—but definitely nice. The paparazzi say now that Percabeth (their nickname for Percy and Annabeth) is over and now it's on to Perachel (Rachel and Percy's nickname).

Annabeth does feel a little weird though. It all started after she went out with Luke a couple weeks ago. And it wasn't even a date! But Percy got all upset and just as their somewhat close relationship started, it ended.

Percy claims he has "moved on" from Annabeth and onto his long-time childhood friend, Rachel.

There's another thing, apparently he met Rachel in high school and were close friends, but separated when Percy became a singer and Rachel became an artist. But they suddenly met up again and randomly started dating only a couple days after the whole Luke-date-thing.

Annabeth shook her head and continued her walk to Starbucks. She doesn't know why this is bothering her, though! She can't stop thinking about it! Maybe she wishes she could be the one Percy had his arm around, or kissed goodnight?

What am I thinking? I don't want that! I don't even LIKE Percy! Annabeth thought to herself and stopped thinking of Percy all together.

"Annabeth! Hey!" Rachel yelled from a table in the Starbucks café. Annabeth smiled and waved. She quickly ordered Percy's coffee and went to sit with Rachel. "How are you?"

"I'm good." Annabeth lied. "You?"

"Never been better! Guess what?" Rachel asked, incredibly excited.

"What?"

"They said yes!"

Annabeth grinned. "Congratulations, Rachel! I'm so glad!"

"Thanks! I can't believe they're featuring my art at the 'Today's Art' Museum! Oh my gosh!"

"Decaf Carmel Latte!" The guys at the counter yelled.

"Oh, that's me! I'll see you later, Rachel." Annabeth said and walked over and grabbed Percy's drink.

"Congratulations again." She said while walking past Rachel's table.

Annabeth's POV

"Here." I said, giving Percy the coffee. I started to walk away.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked. I turned around.

"What?" I said.

"Umm… I want your honest opinion… Do you like Rachel?" Percy asked while looking at his shoes. I was a bit surprised.

"Rachel? Yeah, I like her. Why do you ask?"

"Never mind… Just wondering." Percy said.

"Ok." I left the room.

You see what I mean by weird?

Percy's POV

My plan totally back-fired; Annabeth doesn't seem bothered at all!

My phone rang, and I looked down to see Rachel on the caller ID.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Percy?" Rachel asked.

"The one and only."Rachel giggled.

"I have something important to tell you." She said.

"Is it about your art being featured in the 'Today's Art' Museum?" I asked.

"Well, that too." She said.

"Congratulations! Wait, that too? What's wrong?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well… I don't want to say this over the phone. Meet me?"

"Wait, are you breaking up with me?" I yelled.

"No—well—yeah. It's just that… I don't want to say this but… I know the real reason why you went out with me. You're in love with Annabeth. I see the way you look at her—or try not to, at least. I don't know what happened between you two, but I think you should fix it. One simple fight isn't worth it." I can't believe this!

"I'm not in love with Annabeth! I hate her!" I yelled.

"No, you don't Percy. You've always been oblivious, even when it came to your own feelings. If you weren't in love with her, you would've fired her by now. Especially if you keep telling me you 'hate' her so much."

"I do!" I cried, "I HATE Annabeth."

I heard a gasp and looked up to see Annabeth standing in the doorway. I felt my heart drop. She didn't hear that, did she?

Of course she did, you idiot! I yelled at myself. "Annabeth, I-I'm so sorry." I said.

"You know what, Percy?" Annabeth yelled, "I HATE you too! I did from the start! Then I made the mistake of thinking you changed, and I-I felt different about you. But now I know you haven't! You're still that same jerk! I never should've taken this job. I QUIT!" She turned around and ran.

"No! Annabeth! WAIT!" I got up and ran after her, but by the time I got down the stairs and outside, she was already climbing in the cab. I sped up, but the cab took off.

I missed her.

I looked down to see the phone still in my hand. Rachel was still on the line.

"I told you you're in love with her." Rachel said. I hung up.

Ok, things kinda happened fast. But Percy and Rachel have been dating for two weeks and Annabeth is kinda jealous, even though she likes Rachel and doesn't show it. She and Luke are just friends! (For now.) ;D You all got that, right? And sorry for that little time skip, if that bothers you.

ANYWAYS, R&R! And don't forget to vote on my poll!
