CHAPTER TWO

Percy POV

After breakfast I decided to go train in the arena to blow off some steam. My mind kept bringing up what Grover told me."Be more confident". Yeah, right. I have about the same amount of confidence as a white crayon.

But you got to start somewhere right? So when I got to the arena, I looked around to make sure that no one else was there. When I was sure that I was alone, I took off my shirt.

Now I will try my best to not sound arrogant, my body had clearly improved from when I first arrived at Camp Half-Blood. Instead of being all… floppy... I had gotten muscles. But it was still not good enough for me to increase my confidence.

I sighed and took Riptide out of my pocket and uncapped it. I looked towards the dummy and pointed the tip of the sword towards it. I took my stance, and pounced.

I was slashing at the dummy every chance that I got, making hay fly all over the place. When I was done I capped Riptide and smirked at the remains of the dummy. "Getting better Perce, getting better."

Annabeths POV

I was standing there for Hades knows how long, just looking at him. After he was done with the dummy I got some sense knocked in to me. "If he noticed me staring I would never hear the end of it" I thought, trying to come up with a plan to keep me from staring at him when I came in. But my brain was now completely blank. Out of all times, this is the time my brain chooses to be an ass.

So just relying on my self-control, I walked in.

"Having fun?" I said, trying to keep my poker face somewhat believable.

But my plan completely failed when he turned around and looked at me. My mind went on overdrive, and my hormones went crazy. The perfect combination for the perfect poker face, don't you think?

He smiled at me and my knees felt like jelly. "As usual Wise Girl." I couldn't help but smile when he used my nickname. He flipped his pen around and uncapped it in an "oh, so sexy" way and looked at me mischievously. Oh I know where this is going.

"Wanna fight?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Of course Seaweed Brain." I said, trying to keep my cool but my voice cracked at the end so I don't think he fell for it. I was about to pounce when I noticed that I had missed a teensy tiny minor detail. He still wasn't wearing a shirt.

"Oy, none of this." I said, gesturing towards his body. He looked down and smirked.

"Distracting?" He said with a cocky tone in his voice.

"No, I'm scared you will get so exhausted that your sweat will start slapping me in the face." I said in an annoyed tone. That made absolutely no sense but it's Percy, he probably won't even notice it.

"Well that's only better for me, so if that happens it only makes it easier to win you than normally. I'm keeping the shirt off."

"Easier to win me than normally? Okay Seaweed Brain let's think back a bit, how many times have I won?" I asked in a teacher voice.

"…257…" He said making circles in the sand with his foot with his eyes against the ground.

"And how many times have you won?"

"…0…" He said looking down at the sand with a puppy dog face. "But there's always a time for a first." He said looking up at me smirking while flexing his muscles.

Damn it.

~~~~~~After 20 very exhausting minutes~~~~~

After what felt like hours of dodging and blocking, I finally made my mistake and he had me tumbling against the sand with him on top of me with his sword pointed at my neck.

He started laughing and fist pumping.

"Haha FINALLY!" He said while doing his victory dance, which strangely reminded me a lot of a cat trying to cough out a hairball.

"That's not fair! You got me distracted!" I said blushing. During the fight he had made me dodge a blow that sent my face right in front of his pecks, and I stared for just a second too long.

"Distracted? Was my sweat slapping you in the face?" He said in a teasing voice. He knew exactly what had happened and now he was starting to get arrogant.

I rolled my eyes and started to walk away when I noticed this one guy standing by the side of the arena. He was staring right at me, and when he noticed me looking back at him, he started to walk over.

I looked at him and knew directly that he was an Aphrodite kid. No doubt.

He had perfect hair, smile, skin, teeth, and basically everything else. He walked over to me as if he was walking in the middle of a catwalk. (Picture it in you head. Trust me, it'll be the most ridiculous thing you'll ever imagine)

"Hey there, I'm Brad." He said, in a deep sexy voice. But me being used to Aphrodite children, it's no surprise.

"Hi…" I said awkwardly. I have never met this guy before and now he suddenly walks up to me and is trying to start a conversation? A bit weird.

"So, the party that's coming up, you got a date?" He asked smiling at me.

"Um…I-" I said, before Percy that suddenly appeared beside me rudely cut me off.

"What's in it for you, Chump?" Percy said with an annoyed voice.

"What do you think, genius?"

"I know exactly what I think, genius. I think that you think that I think that you are thinking of asking Annabeth out. " Brad wrinkled his eyebrow in confusion and scratched his head.

"Wait… no it would be that I know that I think that you think that I know that- whatever! The point is that she deserves better than you." He said, exhausted, as if those 30 seconds of thinking physically hurt him.

"Deserves better? So you're saying that you are the one fulfilling all of those things that Annabeth needs? A smelly sweating ape that could use some more work outs." He said, looking at Percy in disgust. I was completely baffled. If someone was in a better shape than Percy he must've been an heroin addict.

"I need more work outs? That's coming from a guy, that I'm PRETTY sure that has never even touched a tool more dangerous than an eyeliner." Percy said getting angrier and angrier by the second.

"I don't need to work out, like, just today I lost two pounds just like that." He said snapping his fingers.

"What? Did you take off all your make-up?"

"BUUUUUUURN!" I said, laughing.

The two guys looked at me all like "dafuq woman?" and I just awkwardly walked away from the conversation.

"You know what? I don't need this." Brad said, while storming off dramatically.

After Brad had left the arena we looked at each other and started laughing our asses off.

"Man that guy was persistent." Percy said smiling widely.

"You don't know what that word means, do you?"

"Not a clue."

"Thought so." I said, starting a new round of laughter.

"Well I got to go check on my cabin now Percy, I'll see you around." I said waving at him.

He waved back and smiled his handsome smile. When I was outside of hearing distance, I thought of him. I smiled and whispered to myself

"Damn."

Yaaaay, and so ends another chapter of "A Party To Remember" :D Remember to pitch some ideas, and that reviewing always makes my day. :)

Goldfish, out.
