Second chapter coming right up!

Erin Catwalk

My lip curled.

As soon as that girl Annabelle or something came on the van, Percy had been talking to her and her only. Which was so unfair! I was his very best friend, not her.

I knew things about him. Like how he liked blue. And that he was super modest. And that he was good at swimming.

I twisted in my seat to look at Steve. He had been sitting awkwardly for a while now, glaring at Percy and Annabelle. Annabelle was sitting on Percy's lap, and Percy had his arms around her.

Ugh.

I was Percy's number one friend and I would make sure Annabelle knew it.

The thing is, though, I heard Percy talking about hell and misery back there. I knew Annabelle was a bad influence!

A really pretty Cherokee girl smiled at me. "You're... um, the mor-girl Percy was talking about, right?"

Percy had talked about me? Wow. Just wow.

Heat rushed to my cheeks. "What did he say?"

"Oh, we were teasing him about his ADHD and his dyslexia and he defended himself by saying he had outside friends, unlike some of us. We asked him for a name and he told us about you." Then her eyes widened as if she had realized she had said the wrong thing.

"Outside friends?" I questioned.

"Yeah, uh, friends outside of camp."

Right. Camp. The one Percy has been going off to for two years now. Well, I wouldn't let him disappear this time. I had insisted on going with him, and he had finally relented.

But he said I couldn't enroll because it was for kids who were dealing with parent loss and with learning disabilities only.

When I had said that was sort of specific, he got red and muttered that he was going to IM 'Wise Girl'.

Weird.

But it's not a big deal. He told me that I could be dropped off right before they reached camp. As soon as I got in, there were these weird people inside.

Goths, emos, blonde Supermans, Cherokees, Latinos, Chinese, etc., etc.

It was confusing.

I got stuck with an emo boy, a Cherokee, a goth, and an African-American.

There was a loud shout from behind and Steve tried to yank Annabelle away from Percy. Confused, I whipped my head around, silently cheering Steve on to take Annabelle away from my Percy, but Annabelle just laughed and went back to Percy.

After that, I sort of just zoned out, sorry not sorry. The van laughed really hard one time, but I was just waiting until Steve got off so that I could go with him and plan how to break up Percy and Annabelle. Percy hopefully didn't like Annabelle that much and it was just friendship, but just in case.

What would be their ship name anyway? Annercy? Percabelle? Ha!

Our ship name would be... Perin? Nah. What about... Ericy? No.

Whatever. I'll work out the details later.

"How long have Annabelle and Percy been friends?" I asked, careful not to say dating.

"Annabelle...? Oh, Annabeth! They've been friends for about seven years, I think, dating for two years." The Cherokee girl said.

Two years.

I gulped. "Oh... okay," I muttered.

"Yeah, they're so cute together! Percabeth forever!" She cheered. I wrinkled my nose and decided that she wouldn't support me, which made her useless.

"Pipes, you going on about Percabeth again?" The Latino groaned.

"Yep!" 'Pipes' beamed.

"Piper, if you go into the lovey-dovey zone again, I'm seriously going to have to consider Bricky as a possible candidate." The blonde Superman said. Whoever Bricky was must have been ridiculous, because everyone laughed again.

(Hi, I'm the time skip. My pay is good. You can find more time skips at my company, )

Steve leaped off the van, looking longingly at Annabelle- sorry, Annabeth. He probably wanted her to join him. But Annabeth didn't even give him a single glance.

I stood. "I'll get off too. It's not long from here to my house, anyway." I said, which was a lie.

"Oh, okay, Erica," Percy said. At first, my heart lifted because he acknowledged me, which is at least better than Annabeth's bad treatment toward Steve. Then it plummeted because he didn't even know my name!

"Erin," I said forcefully. "We've been best friends for two years and you don't know my name?" I smiled so he would think I was joking, but I wasn't.

"Oh, um, yeah, I usually don't really pay attention to my school friends all that much, because I'm super busy. No offense." Percy said.

Don't pay attention to my school friends all that much.

His words rang in my mind.

"Seaweed Brain, that was super offensive. Sorry, Erin, he doesn't think before he talks. What he means is that he's sort of forgetful and because you guys don't meet outside of school and you only sit together at lunch, he mistakenly thought you were Erica." Annabeth said.

"Two years!" I exclaimed. "And you still don't know my name?" I was getting a little upset by now.

"I'm super sorry! But the thing is, whenever I called you Erica you never said anything and neither did any of the other guys! I thought it was your name!" He protested.

Wait, what? He called me Erica for two years and I never noticed? Probably because I didn't pay attention to things like that. But now that he was with his friends, I had become more... desperate, you could say.

So I listened to what he said to me more, and then I noticed the Erica problem.

I mentally smacked myself. Argh!

"Then I'm sorry," I said in an attempt to save face. "I'll text you later."

"Yeah, but not a lot, okay? Otherwise, ummmmm, the... counselors... will get mad. Mm-hmm, the counselors will get mad. Even a protected phone like the iMPhone has its limits." He said, grinning and looking pleased with himself.

"Don't you mean iPhone, not iMPhone?" I asked.

"Nope, the scrawny Leo cabin made it," Percy said. The Latino that I assumed was Leo jumped up and stomped over. "Percy, I'm gonna get you for that!"

I don't know what happened after because I ducked outta there as fast as I could.

"Steve!" I called, running to catch up with his trudging form. "Steve! I have an idea!"

"Jeez, Steve! Annabeth doesn't like you. Just like Percy doesn't like me. But we have to awaken their feelings." I said for the millionth time.

"Wait, but if they don't have feelings for us, then how do we awaken their feelings?" Steve frowned.

"It's like... you don't have feelings for the Piper girl, right? The Cherokee? The Native American? But if she looks really good and hot and nice, then you might like her. It's like that. Awakening feelings." I explained, my frustration growing.

"So you're just making them like you," Steve said.

"Yeah, pretty much!" I exploded. "So can you please listen to my plan instead of blathering on about how Annabelle has to like you?" I started to rant.

"It's Annabeth." Steve corrected.

"Whatever! It's just your arrogance acting up, thinking you can correct people. Just like you're arrogant when you think Annabeth likes you. You WANT to believe it. That's IT! I should have known better than to work with a boy. Boys think girls will fall for them. Girls make the boys fall for them."

"Wow, feminist much?" Steve muttered.

"One more time and..." I warned.

"Okay, fine, fine. So we plan to break them up. What's the plan?" Steve sighed.

An evil grin spread across my face.

"We send a text from Annabeth to Percy saying she has a new boyfriend. Sorry, not sorry!"

"No, do it from Percy to Annebeth. Annabeth would never do that and plus, Percy might hurt her. But he probably can't do that because when I bravely tried to rescue Annabeth, he couldn't hold on at all!" Steve was so arrogant. Bravely tried to rescue Annabeth?Yeah, right!

"Fine, Percy to Annabeth. It's the same train of thought: sorry, not sorry!" I giggled like a maniac.

Steve pondered the idea. "It'll make Annabeth mine, right?" He asked.

"YES, you dimwit!" I groaned.

"Then I'm in. Sorry, not sorry!" He grinned, trying out my phrase.

"Hey, that's my line, the sorry not sorry thing," I said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Sorry, not sorry."

"And now you're using it against me!" I glared at him, but then I rolled my eyes. It didn't matter which one of us said it anyway. The plan was still the same, and we would both get what we wanted, also preventing anything going wrong with the plan.

If we were each dating Percy and Annabeth, they couldn't get back together if they thought of them once in a while. Then eventually they would forget about each other and Steve and I would too.

It was a perfect plan.

Sorry Not Sorry.

Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed, sorry it's short. As usual, read and review!
