This is my first fanfic so please don't judge to harshly if it's not that good. This is a mortal au and the whole PJO gang are in college. This story will switch between percys and annabeths povs and maybe a couple of their friends (comment if you want someone specific). I have decided to write a more upbeat Annabeth, just because I feel like in a lot of these fanfics she always has some form of deep emotional trauma and I thought it would be nice just to have her enjoy life for once, although I may decide to give her some trust issues later on. (Please comment what you think).

Percy's POV

"Come on man, please can we have a party!" Jason pleaded. "Dude I just transferred here two days ago, I'm still settling in to the place, I haven't unpacked all my stuff and I don't even know anyone yet. We are not having a party!" Ugh why is Jason being so annoying? "Exactly Percy, you don't know anyone. That's what the party's for - you can meet everyone there." Jesus Christ Jason can be persistent when he wants to be. "I said NO! Come on Nico back me up here." Sadly my goth cousin did not look up from his spot on the couch, he just continued to listen to his headphones with his eyes shut. "NICO!" I yelled as I smacked him on the head. "SHIT!" He shouted as he fell off the couch, "What the fuck was that for?!"

"Do you think Jason should get to have a party here on Friday night or not?"

"Ugh no why would we want people here?" Nico asked Jason, "I'll invite Will Solace." Jason negotiated, knowing full well that was all he needed to say to get Nico to agree. You see Will is the guy Nico has a massive crush on - even though he refuses to admit it. "Why would I care if Will came?" Nico asked in a quiet voice, with a very obvious blush appearing on his cheeks. "Because you're in love with him." Jason stated in a very matter-of-fact voice. "What?! No I'm not!" Nico yelled, his whole face turning as red as a tomato. Jason and I both completely cracked up at the look on his face, "Nico's in love with Will, Nico's in love with Will!" He started chanting. "Shut up!" Nico screamed. I started singing, "Will and Nico sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g, first comes love, second comes mar-"

"PERCY I'LL TAKE YOUR SIDE ON THE WHOLE PARTY THING IF YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!" That quickly shut me up. "Deal." I agreed, "Haha Jason two v one I win!"

"Nooooooooooo! Nico how could you do this to me?!"

"You brought this on yourself, Sparky."

"Oh shut up Death boy."

"Mwahahahaha! I rule all!" I exclaimed. "Screw you Aquaman!" They both yelled as they threw pillows at my face. "Ow! It's not my fault Nico doesn't want to have the party here."

"Fine, I'll just ask my girlfriend if we can have a party at her place." Jason huffed, "Oh yes, all hail the beauty queen." Nico laughed. "Ah shut up Nico."

"Are you guys ever going to tell me her name?" I asked, "Well you would've found out on Friday if you had agreed to let us have the party here, but I guess now you'll just have to wait."

"Whatever. I'm going to go get coffee and try to actually get some work done, since I doubt I'm getting any done here." I said as I grabbed my bag. "See yah!"Jason yelled as I walked out the door."

Finally, I got to the coffee shop, the warm air blasting me as I came in. "I'll be with you in a second!", I heard a barista yell as I headed up to the counter. I was just deciding what I wanted as the barista came up and asked, "What would you like today?"

"Um," I say, still looking at the menu, "I'll have a hot chocolate please, with whipped cream."

"Okay, that'll be 2.50."

"Here," I said, handing her the money, "Thanks."

"No problem, what name would you like on the cup?" I looked up properly for the first time and met her eyes, they're a startling stormy grey, and her hair is golden like the sun, and a mess of curls that make her look like a princess. She's so beautiful - I can't take my eyes off her.

"Sir?" She asksed, snapping me about of my daze,"Are you alright?" Crap have I been staring? "Oh yeah, yeah s-sorry I'm fine." Ugh, why am i stuttering? I don't stutter. "So the name?" She asks again, "Oh right, um it's Per-ce-cy." Something about this girl just makes me completely toungue-tied, maybe it was her intense gaze with those beautiful eyes. "Persassy?" She said with a raised eyebrow, and I felt my cheeks go red. "No sorry, it's um Percy." Ugh why is this girl making me so nervous? She laughed good-naturedly, and the sound was about the most amazing thing I had ever heard, "Well it's Persassy now, deal with it." She stated with a wink, and I felt my cheeks go hot all over again.

As she started to turn around I had an afterthought, "Wait, could you make my drink blue?" Why did I say that? She's going to think I'm really weird now. She just blinked looking confused for a second, but the confusion was quickly replaced with a smile, "Sure," she chuckled, "the whipped cream too?"

"Yes please." Wait, did that just sound far too eager? She just smiled again and walked away. Damn that smile could light up an entire room.

5 minutes later, a different barista shouted, "Hot chocolate for Persassy! Wait Annabeth have you been changing the customers names?" She asked the blonde barista, who I now assume is called Annabeth. "No, of course not, how could you ever think I would do something like that Piper?" Mock hurt in her voice, "Well because I seem to remember you changing my name to Panpipes, Hazel's name to Hazelnuts, Franks name to F-" But before she could continue Annabeth cut her off. "Okay! I get it. I may have changed you guys's names a couple times, i wouldn't do that to a stranger, that's what he said to put on the cup, kind of." She said the last part under her breath. "Okay then." Piper, at least that's what Annabeth called her, turned back around. "Persassy?" She asked once again, "That's me" I muttered, my cheeks tinged pink. "Here's your blue hot chocolate." She said with a questioning tone in her voice. "Thanks." I mumbled before going and sitting down at a table as far away from the counter as I could.

I had been sitting in that coffee shop for an hour and I still had barely gotten any of my assignments done. I kept getting distracted - mainly by the blonde barista - my eyes just seemed to wonder over to her constantly, taking in everything she was doing, from taking orders to wiping down tables. Once she even turned around and smiled at me and I swear to god my heart did a full-on gymnastics routine in my chest. What is wrong with me? What is this girl doing to me?. "I give up." I said under my breath as I started to pack up my stuff. "Hey, Persassy?" I heard Grover say as he sat down in front of me. "Um yeah, the barista thought it was funny." I mumbled, my cheeks once again tinting pink. "Cool barista," Grover chuckled, "which one was it?" He asked while turning around to look. "Um, it was- oh she's not there anymore." I realised as I looked up. "Well you'll have to point her out to me next time you see her."

"Okay, will do G-man" I nervously laughed while silently pledging never to tell him.
