A/N:
Would you guys rather I do long chapters but take longer? Or do what I'm doing now. Shortish chapters that come out almost everyday?
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
So now here they were. Percy, Annabeth, and Rachel. As unlikely a trio as there ever was. Percy just kept imagining Annabeths face, and he couldn't help but crack up every once in a while. Percy's plan was simple, he would get Annabeth jealous by flirting with Rachel the whole time. He wasn't worried about leading Rachel on or anything because she was in on the plan. As a matter of fact, she seemed even more keen to do it then Percy was. They were just pulling up to the theatre and Percy was ready to start the charade. He parked in one of the spots closest to the theatre which was only open because they had arrived a half hour early. Percy considered not buying Annabeth her ticket or snacks, but decided against it becuase he just didn't have the heart for it. They all got out of the car and Percy saw Rachel shiver in the cool air. Percy didn't think she was really cold but he made a big show of covering her with his jacket anyway. Rachel looked up at him gratefully, or at least that's what it looked like to Annabeth. Percy however saw the mischievous look in her eye. They walked to the theatre, Percy in between Rachel and Annabeth with his arm around the former. Once they got inside Rachel shed Percy's jacket and he put it back on. They waited in line for the one large popcorn they were going to share and Percy got Annabeth raisinettes because she said she loved them. Hey, just because he was trying to make her jealous doesn't mean he had to be completely mean. He went and bought their tickets, they were going to see the breakfast club which was only in theatres again because it was the twenty second anniversary of its release. It was one of Percy's all time favourite movies and he was excited when Annabeth told him she hadn't seen it. He knew Rachel had seen it because he had watched It at her home theatre at least a billion times. They took their seats near the back and Percy saw Annabeths face of distaste as Rachel leaned her head on Percy's shoulder. Annabeth reached into the popcorn at the same time Percy did and their hands touched. Even though Percy felt a shock run up his arm he figured he could use their hands touching to mess with her even more. He grabbed her hand and started rubbing circles on the back, to which she audibly sighed. He looked at her and then their hands, jerking his away quickly.
"Sorry I thought you were Rachel" he said sheepishly.
"Oh, that's alright, I didn't mind." She said sounding a little dissapointed. Percy felt bad so he grabbed her hand again. To be completely honest that wasn't the only reason Percy grabbed her hand again. He also was enjoying the feeling of electricity that ran through him when he held her and was hoping to get some more. Rachel gave him a look raising her eyebrow but Percy just shrugged it off. The lights went out and the movie began. Throughout the movie Rachel made halfhearted attempts to stick to Percy's plan, but they never worked because Percy was getting too wrapped up in how cute Annabeth looked curled against him, or how beautiful she looked laughing. Percy finally understood just how she got all the other guys to fall for her, and was starting to wonder how bad it would be to join her list of guys...

The movie had ended and Annabeth couldn't stop gushing about how great it was. She talked about it all the way home and Percy listened politely, laughing at how animatedly she talked about it. When they got to her house they stepped out and Percy walked her to her door. They both just stood on the front porch looking into each other's eyes. Annabeth was the first to break the silence,
"Do you think you'd want to do this again sometime Percy?" Percy couldn't help but notice the way she bit her lip when she asked, or how her eyes were hidden under her eyelashes.
"Yeah sure" he said "I had a lot of fun tonight."
"Me too. Really I did, thank you for taking me out." She said back dreamily.
"Anytime" Percy said, meaning it. He turned away from her and started walking away. He was about halfway to the car when she yelled
"Hey Percy! Do you think next time we could go out just the two of us? Not that I don't like Rachel". He found himself calling back exactly the opposite of what he would have expected to say
"For sure, it's a date Chase". What made him say that he didn't know, but the look of suprised on her face was more than worth it. He got in the car and looked at Rachel. Judging from her face he was gonna get a good talking to when they got back to her house...e

Currently Rachel and Percy were sitting facing each other on Rachel's bed, and Rachel was grilling Percy on what the hell he was doing at the movies.
"I thought you brought me to make her jealous. Sorry perce but usually giving a girl lovey eyes and ignoring your "date" won't make her jealous" Rachel said with a mocking teacher voice.
"Cmon Rachel, I wasn't giving her love eyes" I said in a Whiney voice"
"Honestly Percy you looked like a little girl looking at some boy band. It was pretty depressing" she said laughing.
"Whatever. Seriously though Rach, what are we gonna do about me saying I'd go on a date with Annabeth?" Percy said in a concerned voice.
"Well Percy, i'd say "we" aren't going to be doing anything. You however are more then welcome to plan it out. And before you say you don't want to go, save it. She seemed like a nice girl Percy. Just give it a shot and try not to get too attached, you know her reputation" Rachel said smiling. Percy figured there was no point arguing, besides, he was kind of excited for his and Annabeths date. Basically he was doing exactly the opposite of what he planned, and he was loving it.
