Miles' POV.

It was monday, three days after the dance, and I was still feeling terrible.

I had left Annabeth at the table, because I really needed to pee. And when I came back I couldn't find her. At first I thought she may had went to the bathroom too. Then I had looked around in the room. There wasn't as many people left as there had been at first. Most people just came for the food. I could relate. But that night, I had hoped would be different for me and Annabeth. I thought that I maybe had had a tiny chance with her. She had after all said yes to go with me. She wouldn't have said that, if she didn't liked me, right? I got in doubt though, when I saw that hers and Percy's clothes matched. But I first understood that I didn't had and chance, and probably never had had, when I saw them dancing. Annabeth and Percy. Annabeth's head rested on Percy's chest, and she had closed eyes. And Percy looked at her with a look I could only describe as love. There, I was sure he was in love with her, and she was in love with him. They looked beautiful together. Like they was meant to be. Everyone else on the dancing floor looked dim, and Percy and Annabeth shined brighter than ever. And I was feeling absolutely horrible. I felt my stomach drop to the floor. I pressed my mouth shut, and clenched my fist. It demanded all my will power to not run out to the floor, and tear them apart. Instead I grabbed my coat, and rushed towards the door. I ran into Hana on the way out. Literately.

"Miles, where you going?" She asked, and looked at me with a concerned look on her face.

I wasn't sure I had control over my voice, so I was surprised when I opened my mouth and my voice sounded normal and steady. "I'm not feeling well. I'm going home." It wasn't a lie. I felt like I was going to be sick.

She narrowed her eyes, and looked at me. She knew me to well. "You want me to follow you home?" She asked. In my thoughts I thanked her for not asking what was really wrong.

"Nah, it's cool. Go have some fun. See you at monday." I then said, and pushed myself past her, and walked out in the cold night. Alone.

"Hi! Miles!" I turned as I heard someone call my name. In the other end of the hallway Annabeth came running towards me. We had just gotten a break.

"Hey." I said, acknowledging her. I kept on walking, not really in the mood for anything. "Where's Percy?" I asked her.

"I don't know. Somewhere at the school, I suppose." She said and shrugged.

"I bet he's lost without you." I said, keeping my eyes fixed in front of me, making sure not to meet her eyes.

"Maybe." She just said, and in the corner of my right eye, I could sense her looking at me.

"You better go find him then." I still avoided her gaze.

"You know Miles," she started, "Percy is actually pretty smart, he can find his way himself. And he's a good guy. I don't know why you don't like him. He has been through a lot. More than you think."

"Never said I didn't like him."

"But you don't. I know you don't like him." She stopped walking, and so did I. I turned around, to meet her stormy, beautiful, grey eyes.

"Okay, maybe you're right. I don't like him." I held her gaze.

"You just have to give him a chance. I know he can be annoying sometimes, but that's just who he is. Nobody's perfect."

"You think he is." I told her.

"No, I don't." She said, but she blushed a bit. Nothing you would notice if you just walked past her. "Just give Percy a chance. For me?"

I shrugged, and started walking again. "Okay. For you." I then muttered.

"Great!" She said, and her brain started working.

"I have to find Liam. Have you seen him?" She then said after a bit time.

"I think he is in Mrs. Wilson's class." I told her, not mad at her anymore. I couldn't stay mad at her for more that a conversation. Sometimes it was really annoying.

"Thanks. See you at lunch." She said, and turned around a corner, and I was pretty sure she had some kind of a plan. But I wasn't sure I would like it.

Annabeth came waling into the cafeteria. Next to her was Liam, and she was obviously explaining something to him. He nodded a few times, agreeing.

"Hey," Annabeth said, as she sat down next to Cath. Liam sat next to me. "I was just suggestion to Liam that all the boys should do something together tonight. You know so they can get to know each other better." Annabeth looked at all of us, while she was talking. I knew Liam pretty good, and didn't felt like needing to get to know Percy.

"I think it's a good idea. We can go to my place?" Liam suggested.

Even though I didn't liked the idea, I agreed. So did Percy.

We talked and laughed for a while at our table, but the peace was over, when Megan, the bitch of all bitches, and the female leader of 'the group', decided to ruin our lunch by trying to make a good impression on Percy.

I was kind of surprised, cause normally they just bullied the other students.

"Hi Percy!" She said in a high pinched voice, and sat on the free chair next to Percy.

"Uh.. Hi." Percy said, and looked lost. Like he was trying to remember who she was.

"I just wanted to tell you, that i really love your shirt!" She smiled at him and batted her eyes, that had way to much make-up on.

"Thanks. I think." Percy said, and looked down at his shirt. It was that orange shirt, the same one he had slept in, when we had that sleep over at Hana's.

"What does the letters stand for?" She asked, and moved closer to Percy. As she did that, Percy moved away.

"Camp Half-blood." He answered without even looking at it. His face screamed help.

"Interesting name. Is that a summer camp?" She asked, and ones again moved closer to Percy. Percy was about to move to, but saw that he couldn't, since Hana was in the way.

"Yes. It's a summer camp. I go there with Annabeth." He said and looked at Annabeth.

"Yup. It's a great camp, we do lots of fun things and games." Annabeth said, and smiled, as if she thought back to all her years there. I knew she had went to the camp at least five summers.

Megan ignored Annabeth. "Can I come to the camp too?" She asked. I already knew the answer. I had once asked Annabeth the same, but she had shook her head and said no.

"No. Limited access." Percy said.

"Oh, I have enough money. I'm sure I can pay someone." She said and moved even closer to him. Percy looked serious uncomfortable, but there wasn't much I could do.

At the other side of the table Annabeth looked like someone who either was about to burst of laughing or kill someone.

"You can't buy your way into camp." Percy muttered.

Megan looked disappointed.

"ARE YOU HITTING ON MY GIRL?" A voice suddenly resonated through the room, and Ryan, the male leader of 'the group', stormed to our table, and glared down at Percy.

Percy stood up to face him. "No." He simply said, and gave Ryan the elevator look. Ryan was almost a head higher than Percy.

"LIAR!" Ryan shouted. I looked at Percy, and wasn't sure why he wasn't started to run yet. I had, for sure. Either he was really brave or really stupid.

"I would never hit on a girl who wears so much make-up that you can't even see her face." Percy said simply.

Ryan's eyes got darker, and really scary. Percy just looked at him, as if he wasn't scared at all.

Ryan then lifted a hand, as if to punch him.

"Don't." Percy warned him, as if Ryan was the one who should be scared, and not Percy.

Ryan didn't listed to Percy, so I looked in terror, when he swung his hand towards Percy's face. I was sure that all hope was out for Percy. Then something unexpectedly happened. Percy grabbed his hand, and judo-flipped him. He then sat at top of him, one knee on his chest, so he couldn't get up.

Ryan looked at Percy with fear in his eyes. The cafeteria was completely quiet.

They lay on the ground in what seemed as forever. Then Percy started to move.

"Don't say I didn't warned you." Percy said as he stood up.

"I swear, I will kill you." Ryan said as he got onto his feet too, and gave Percy a look that would have made me run out of this school, and never come back.

Percy just snorted. "Get in line." And then he bursted out laughing. The same did Annabeth.

Okay guys! First of all, sorry for the long wait. I've been ill, but now I'm feeling good again, so I wrote you an update. Yay!
