The next morning Percy woke up feeling good. Hi gotta out of bed and hopped in the shower, not noticing that he was still wearing his boxers. When he got out he dried off and threw on some jeans, still oblivious to the soaking wet boxers. He found a shirt off his floor and put it on before walking out into the kitchen, only to find his mom cooking pancakes. She turned back to look at and put a hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh. Percy looked confused so she said

"Have a nice shower Percy?"

He looked down and saw his jeans had been soaked through the area his boxers were. His face went beet red and he bolted back into his room to change into some new bottoms and boxers. He came back out looking flustered, but that look increased when his mom said

"So who's the girl?"

"I don't know what you're talking about mom" Percy said, although they both knew he was lying.

"Ok honey, whatever you say" his mom said knowingly. He went back to his room and finished getting ready for school. As soon as he was ready he dashed out of his room and out the front door, completely forgetting breakfast.

Percy had just finished his last block before lunch and was still in a good mood. He walked into the cafetiria and went to sit down at his regular table. He was the first one there so he wondered if Annabeth was going to sit with him again. The next to join him at the table was Nico, then Grover. Percy was watching the cafeteria door when Annabeth walked in and he perked up. She looked over at his table and their eyes met. She seemed to contemplate something before walking directly towards their table. She stopped one table away and sat down next to a kid named Brandon. Brandon was a "handsome" guy who was the capitan of the school football team. The only problem was he was as dumb as a stack of bricks. Annabeth put on a sickly sweet smile before twirling her hair and talking to Brandon.

"Don't worry about her Percy, who cares about her anyway." Nico said trying to cheer him up.

"It's ok Nico, I don't care. Really I'm fine" Percy said. Right as he finished Annabeth stood up and grabbed Brandon by the hand. She dragged him out of the cafeteria, probably to go hookup in the janitors closet or something. Just before she left the room Annabeth looked back at percy, giving him a smirk. That right there was her fatal mistake. Percy had seen her seduce dozens of guys, and eventually he picked up on some of her strategies. One of the things he noticed she did was that if there was a particularly stubborn guy, she would try to make them jealous. One of the ways she would do this is by flaunting other guys in front of them, making them want what they couldn't have. It would've been genius on anyone but Percy. He knew she was only with Brandon to get him jealous. He decided to do something she had never seen before. He decided that he was going to give her a taste of her own medicine.

Percy had gone through the rest of the day as normal, but now he was ready to set his plan into motion. He called up his friend Rachel Dare or the "Red headed nightmare" as he liked to call her. She was currently attending Clarion academy, an all girls finishing school. He told her about his plan and she agreed. The next thing he had to do was something he never thought he'd be caught dead doing, invite Annabeth Chase to hang out.

Percy was sitting in math, tapping his foot impatiently as he waited for his teacher to dismiss the class. It was over in one minute but the teacher wouldn't let them out. The bell rang and Percy sprinted out, turning the corner and running right to the locker he knew belonged to Annabeth. Luckily he hadn't missed her and she was standing there, reaching into her locker. Leaning against the lockers beside her was none other than Brandon. Percy wasn't suprised in the least but threw on a suprised face anyway. He walked up and started talking to Annabeth

"Uhm h- hey Annabeth?" He started, thinking the fake stutter and pretend nervousness in his voice would be a good touch.

"Yeah Percy" she said as if she'd been expecting him the whole time, which of course she had.

"I was, well uh, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to hangout today?" He said pretending he was really fretting her answer.

"Oh I don't know about that Percy. I think Brandon and I were going to hangout today...maybe next time?" She said apologetically. Inside Percy was grinning, this was going exactly as he had planned, but on the outside Percy pretended to be dejected and lowered his head saying

"Oh, yeah, maybe next time" before walking off slowly. "Wait! Percy!" Annabeth yelled not even ten seconds after he had left. She ran and caught up to him before saying, "I talked to Brandon about it and he said we could reschedule. So tell me, what are we doing tonight?"

"Well I thought we could go to a movie tonight" Percy said cracking a genuine smile, though not for the reasons she thought he was smiling.

"Yeah, sounds like a plan!" She said giving him a hug and then ran off. Yeah, my plan. Percy thought.

Percy was sitting outside Annabeths house with a special surprise in the back of Paul's Prius. He took a deep breath before opening the door to his car and walking up to the front door. He knocked and almost right away Annabeth opened the door, as if she'd been waiting right there for him. Percy had to admit she looked stunning. She was wearing an orange shirt and skinny jeans, something that would look completely normal on anyone but her. He noticed how well the skinny jeans squeezed her figure, but apparently he noticed too well because Annabeth cleared her throat and he looked up blushing.

"S-sorry I was-" Percy began, acctually stuttering this time.

"It's fine Percy calm down" Annabeth said letting out an airy laugh. "Now cmon, lets go see this movie!"

"After you" Percy said bowing. Annabeth laughed and went to the car but not before Percy ran and opened her door. He wasn't doing this out of manners as much as he was hoping she didn't notice his surprise. She got in and he went back to his side and got in. As soon as all the doors were closed Percy said

"Oh and I hope you don't mind, I brought my friend Rachel along". He had to admit, the look on her face when she realized there was someone sitting right behind her was better then he thought it would be.
