Anyway, here ya go:

She almost missed it the first time. It was half-hidden, so small that she would have looked past it if not for the shiny silver foil wrapping. A single Hershey's kiss, placed on her desk. How long had it been there? Was it for her? Annabeth scanned the study lounge, trying to see if any answers would present themselves. Maybe someone was handing out chocolate, that did happen occasionally, but everything seemed normal. No candy passers, just a bunch of college kids with all their study materials laid out and only half-focused on academics.

It was close enough to her for her to assume that it was, in fact, there for her, but she still hesitated. When did it appear there? She had only turned away for a minute to turn to a classmate to ask a quick question. It must have happened then. As she pondered this small mystery her gaze found its way to the cute black haired, green eyed boy that had been coming in for the past couple days. They had spoken a couple of times before, he knew some of her classmates and they had a conversation in a group setting a few times. She tried to remember his name, Percy? She was pretty sure that was it, Jason had been the blonde one if she remembered correctly.

He met her gaze and she quickly looked away, blushing slightly. She hadn't meant to stare. Not that you could blame her, he was very cute, sort of shy, she had noted during their first interaction, but overall a nice sweet guy.

She went back to ponder the Hershey kiss mystery and ended up eating it anyway because chocolate sounded really good right then. And with her hunger newly realized, she packed up and went to the caf, thoughts no longer stuck on the small piece of chocolate.

-.-.-.-.-.-

It happened again a couple days later when she was back at the study lounge, studying for an upcoming midterm. She had once again moved away from her desk to speak with some classmates, and found a Hershey's kiss on her desk when she returned. This time, however, there was a small note, a piece of ripped notebook paper with the words: "hope you find a reason to smile today, you're really beautiful" scrawled on it.

Just reading the words brought a small smile to her face and she blushed slightly as she looked up, trying to spot who might have done it. Yet again, there was no indication of any potential note-leavers.

A thought crossed her mind: maybe the note wasn't meant for her- but it had been placed right next to her stuff, and no one else was near enough.

As she nibbled on the small piece of chocolate, some of her classmates came up to her desk, immediately settling down.

"Are you ready for this?" One of them asked pulling out copies of the practice midterms.

"Is anyone ever ready for this class?" she replied, now turning her focus on the upcoming test.

-.-.-.-.-.-

She spotted Percy approaching her and her little study group, this class was one of those classes where a study group was necessary (if they were going to suffer they would suffer together).

"Yo Perce," Leo called out as he got closer. Good, she had gotten his name right. Percy waved back,

"Hey," he replied.

"Dude, please tell me you got it," Leo pleaded.

Percy just shrugged, "Sorry man..."

Leo groaned and laid his head down on the table.

"Ugh, I'm so screwed," he continued to groan. Percy then turned to Annabeth, who had been watching all this with confusion, holding up a set of keys and winking.

Upon hearing the jingle of keys, Leo's head snapped up and he immediately reached for them.

"Goddammit Percy! You can't do that!" He said in a mixture of relief and faux anger.

"What's going on?" Annabeth decided to interject.

"I asked this idiot," Leo pointed a finger at Percy, "to get the keys to my room 'cause I left them inside."

"And I got them," Percy replied shrugging.

"After giving me a heart attack first, you know I can't ask for keys at the desk, Reyna's working there and she's scary, plus she's gonna to think I'm irresponsible!"

"You are," both Percy and Annabeth said at the same time, then turned to each other and high fived.

"You betray me," Leo cried dramatically, causing the other two to roll their eyes.

"I approve of the scare, by the way," Annabeth added, mostly just to annoy Leo further.

"Thank you," Percy replied, bowing slightly. "It's my specialty."

Leo glared at them, "Some 'friends' you are."

Percy and Annabeth laughed at his antics,

"Oh hush," Annabeth spoke, turning to face Leo entirely, "remember who helped you with that last lab report."

"Ugh fine," Leo conceded, finally dropping his angry facade.

"Well, I got to get going, I have class," Percy excused himself. Before walking away, he offered a smile to Annabeth which she returned feeling warm inside.

It wasn't until they were about to leave did Annabeth notice the Hershey's kiss with the accompanying note that read: "your eyes sparkle so bright they outshine the sun :)" It was disgustingly cheesy but she couldn't help the smile it brought to her face.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Annabeth was no closer to solving the mystery of the Hershey kiss sender and she felt she was failing her inner Nancy Drew. The note about her eyes had been cheesy but sweet and she was still trying to figure out how it had appeared. She had been talking to Leo and Percy the entire time so she wasn't really paying attention to her surroundings. It could have been anyone.

Well, except those two. The thought made her a bit sad, she had somehow started to hope that maybe it was Percy. Not that she had any solid backing other than the fact that he had been there every time it had happened. But she would have seen him leave it last time, wouldn't she?

She sighed and turned back to her work, unable to focus.

"Annabeth?" A voice brought her out of her staring contest with the paper.

She looked up to see a shy smile and a messy head of hair.

"Percy! Hi!" She quickly offered a smile.

"Hey, do you mind if I sit with you?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck, "it's really crowded in here."

"Oh yeah, sure," she quickly assured, moving her stuff to make room for him.

"So how have you been?" he asked as he shrugged off his bag and pulled his laptop out.

"Oh, you know, doing homework, taking tests, slaving away, the usual... What about you?"

"I take joy in the tiny victories, like getting an extra half an hour of sleep."

"Luckyyy," she sighed, "if only I could do that."

"My class just got cancelled today, otherwise I wouldn't either," he explained, setting the rest of his study materials out.

"How come my classes don't get that privilege," she complained, pouting a bit.

He laughed at her facial expressions, "you're probably not sacrificing enough to the college gods," he nodded solemnly.

"I've already sold my soul to them, what more do they want?" She threw her hands up in the air dramatically.

"Maybe Crowley isn't holding up his end of the bargain, but at least you won't be dragged away by hellhounds in ten years."

She gaped at him, "You watch Supernatural? Oh, this is the beginning of something beautiful."

The two ended up talking more about angels and demons then they did studying, unable to help how easily the conversation flowed and the amount of things they had in common.

So when Percy left after a good hour or two of talking, Annabeth was left with an hour less of studying, a happy smile on her face, and another mysterious Hershey's kiss with a sweet note wishing her good luck on her midterms.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Annabeth wasn't stupid, and this mystery Hershey kiss thing was making her feel like she was. She was back at the study lounge, working on a project and trying to ignore the thoughts of the yet-to-appear Hershey's kiss when Percy came up.

"Hey," he greeted as he sat down. "I've got to go to class but Leo told me to bring this to you," he offered a textbook.

"Oh thank you! I needed this." She accepted the book and smiled at him. After that last super long conversation she had seen a little more of him, and now had his number. They hadn't actually texted yet, but as they saw more of each other she figured they would eventually become better friends.

"No prob, apparently that's all I am around here, a delivery person," he fake pouted.

Annabeth giggled and patted his arm, "You're more than just a delivery person," she consoled, "you're also the waiter."

He frowned at her words, recalling the one time he had brought over coffee for his friends in her study group.

"Well I see how it is, I guess I should just leave then," he huffed, standing up.

"You know I'm just joking," she said lightly, knowing he wasn't taking it seriously and actually had a class to get to. She turned to put the textbook in her bag.

"Yeah, I know," he grinned at her. Then rubbing the nape of his neck, he said almost shyly,

"I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, of course," she said straightening up. He waved at her as he walked away. Only after was he out of the room did she notice the Hershey's kiss and note that read: "you seem like a great person and i'd love to get to know you better, want to get coffee sometime?" a phone number listed underneath.

Annabeth was duly surprised at the note and she automatically got her phone out to punch in the number, not knowing how to reply to the offer.

But as she typed in the numbers slowly her contacts narrowed until there was one left with a perfect match, Percy.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Percy's phone buzzed in the middle of class. When he checked it, the message read: Yes, you dork. Along with a picture of a Hershey's kiss.

And maybe the date ended with more than just a chocolate kiss.

A/N: So what did you think? (P.S. accurate representation of college, a version of this actually happened to a friend)

Once again: second to last repeat chapter!

Thank you to all my readers and reviewers for supporting me through the transition!

(Sorry for the repeat messages I'm just trying to make people more aware of this change :P)

Thanks for reading! Please Review!
