I have 1 thing 2 say: I LUV U GUYS! u guys r so supportive and u correct me if i'm wrong! And i've never formally thanked u 4 taking the time 2 review. 1 of your reviews made me realize that and i just wanted 2 say thx! Well, 1 of u guys asked me if they were mortals or demigods, they're mortals. I thought it would be more of a challenge 2 try and change them a bit! K, well, enough of my blabbering and on with the show!

Who does this Percy guys think he is? From the moment he saw her he wouldn't stop staring at her! My only moment of satisfaction was when Annabeth introduced me as her boyfriend and his face fell into a look of disappointment! I was laughing my head off on the inside!

Now at dinner, he's still staring at my girlfriend! The exchange kids usually get their own cabins and therefore, tables. But Annabeth felt bad that Percy was going to be sitting alone and since my table is way too full to sit anybody else at, she got her friend Piper to talk to our camp director, Mr. D, into bending a few rules for us.

Percy whispers something in Annabeth's ear and she laughs that wonderful, tinkling laugh I love so much. Right now, that laugh just makes me even more jealous.

"Um, Luke? You okay buddy?" asks my cabin mate Malik.

"Ya, why?" I growl.

Malik points at my hands and I see my hand finger deep in my mashed potatoes, strangling them. I quickly let go of them and wipe my hands clean on my napkin. Malik gives me a look, then turns

his gaze on Percy and Annabeth and archs an eyebrow. Thankfully, he knows what's good for him and doesn't press the matter more.

I turn back to my food and try to tune out all sounds of laughter from cabin 11. When he starts to lean in to her, I've had enough. I stand up abruptly, knocking over my chair which makes a loud bang as it hits the ground. Percy, Annabeth and all the people sitting in the chairs around us look up, startled. Everything gores silent. I give Percy an angry look and he looks ashamed, then I give Annabeth a hurt one. I walk out of the room in complete silence. I walk to my cabin and lie down.

How could she do this to me? No, it wasn't her, it was Percy. That jerk knew I had a girlfriend, and he went ahead and flirted with her.

I fell exhausted, but I can't seem to sleep. When sleep finally comes, it's ridden with nightmares.

I'm standing in the rain at camp. Thunder booms in the backround and lightning fills the sky. But that's all distant. My attention is focused on 2 figures standing not 20 paces away. Through the fog rain, I can see a glimpse of blonde curls and know its Annabeth. A tall, athletic guy with raven hair stands in front of her, to close for my liking. I recognize him as Percy and my stomach churns into an angry knot.

I watch as he leans in closer to her and brushes her hair out of her face. The worst part, she let him. He leans in and I yell at Annabeth to move back, or hit him or something! I find my voice doesn't work and try to run forward only to find my legs heavy as steel under me. I watch, shedding silent tears as Percy kisses my girlfriend and her kiss him back. I close my eyes and looks away, willing it not to be true. Then a ball of anger wells in the pit of my stomach, a demon of jealousy. I feel it move through me, growing bigger and bigger until I explode in a silent scream towards the sky.

I wake up panting and crying covered in a slick layer of sweat.

Just a dream. But it was so real, and it very well could be happening.

I need to talk to Annabeth. My brain says.

No, way! She didn't resist at lunch! How would she feel if I did the same to her! My heart cries.

No, Luke! You can't do that to her! My brain argues.

My heart jeers in triumph.
