Percy's P.O.V.

Percy left the coffee shop after an extremely long shift. He was very tired and just wanted to sleep, but he couldn't because he still had to study for his test for environmental biology which was his least favourite subject but he had to take it since it was a requirement for his major. He went into his dorm and saw that his roommate-Leo was sleeping.

"That lucky bastard", Percy said to himself

Percy took a shower and sat down to study. His ADHD made it very difficult for him to concentrate and his thoughts were all over the place, particularly on the beautiful girl he had seen in the coffee shop that day. When Percy had seen her, he had felt his heart flip and he had to do everything in his power to not stare at her. She had curly blonde hair, a very pretty face but her eyes were what Percy liked most about her, they were grey, stormy and very expressive. Just one look at her eyes and Percy could tell that she could be very scary If someone messed with her.

He forced himself to stop thinking about her and tried to focus on the weird words on his laptop and make notes. After about 2 hours of studying, he woke Leo up so that they could go out and get some dinner.

"What the hell Perce? let me sleep", he mumbled and covered his face

"Get up man. You need to eat."

"Fine"

Leo got up mumbling to himself about some machine he dreamed about and the parts he would require to create it. He was Percy's best friend and was kind of a weirdo since he liked machines more than humans. He was the cheekiest person Percy had ever met but sort of a genius. He was brilliant at maths and could build basically everything, which is why he almost always topped his class even though he barely studied.

They went to Taco Bell and saw that a few of their friends were there as well. They went to sit down with Jason, Frank, Hazel and Rachel. Somehow, Percy couldn't bring himself to actively participate in the conversation that everyone was having because his thoughts kept going back to the gorgeous girl he had seen in the café.

"Earth to Percy, dude what are you thinking about?", asked Jason

"Nothing"

"I know all his expressions, so in my expert opinion, I think that he is thinking about a girl.", said Leo with a knowing smile.

"Thanks for your diagnosis Dr Leo, but I am not thinking about anyone."

"Stop lying Perce. Who is she?", asked Hazel

"No one! God, why am I even friends with you guys?"

"Because you love us.", said Frank

"Come on, tell us", pestered Rachel

Percy knew that his friends would not drop this subject till he told them because they were very stubborn. He finally decided to give up.

"Ok fine. It is not a big deal, but I saw a girl while working and I just can't stop thinking about her."

"Woohoo! Percy finally likes someone! Took you long enough", said Leo

"Shut up Leo"

"So what's her name?", asked Hazel

"I don't know. I don't know anything about her."

"What the hell man? You should have talked to her or gotten her number or something.", said Jason

"I was working!"

"That's no excuse."

"I am pretty sure that she has a boyfriend or something, she is so pretty, how could she not?"

"It wouldn't hurt to actually talk to her and find that out.", said Frank

"Fine! If I see her again, I will talk to her. Now can we change the topic?"

"Ok Ok, calm down", said Hazel with a chuckle.

They all chatted for a bit but Percy realized that Rachel was uncharacteristically quiet and looked to be deep in thought.

"What's up Rach?", he asked

"I will tell you later, okay?"

"Ok sure. But are you fine?"

"Yeah, it's not a big deal."

Percy made a mental note to check up on her later. He was a great friend and did everything he could to make sure that his friends were happy.

"So how is swimming going?", asked Frank

"It's ok. I am helping the coach with the undergrad freshmen and they are pretty pathetic, but I like my team."

"They are babies. I can't believe that even were in their position once.", said Leo

"Well you still look like a freshman", said Jason

Everyone laughed while Leo scowled.

They all ate and chatted for about an hour and then went back to their dorms to study. Percy decided to call his mom before he went back to study and she instantly picked up her phone.

"Hey Percy, how are you?"

"I am good mom, I just wanted to check in before I forget otherwise, I am sure that you will make me feel guilty for not calling you."

"Talking to your mother is a chore now?", Sally joked.

"No mom, my finals are coming up so I am going to be extra busy. I also need to start working on my thesis or at least start thinking about its topic."

"Wait, you are actually studying?"

"Yeah, unfortunately my passion for the subject is not enough to pass Grad school", said Percy with a chuckle.

"I am so proud of you Percy for pursuing your dream career even though you hate studying"

"Thanks mom. I will talk to you later. I love you."

"I love you too."

After his conversation with his mom, Percy made a cup of coffee, settled down to study again and fought with his mind to stop thinking about the girl from the coffee shop.

"You are such an idiot Percy, you don't know anything about her so why are you thinking about her so much?", he said to himself
