READ, ENJOY, REVIEW:

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Percy's P.o.V.

I ran my hand through my hair as I thought about how I was going to tell Annabeth my feelings. I sighed and decided to just get her away from everybody ask her to the camp fire and tell her there that I lo-I mean- like her. Ahem. I sighed again as I walked out of my cabin. I walked towards the Athena cabin and found Malcolm.

"Hey Malcolm, have you seen Annabeth?" I asked him

He looked up at me "I think I saw her walking towards the Apollo cabin" he said

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion, why would Annabeth go to the Apollo's cabin?

"Uh, okay, thanks Malcolm" I said as I turned to go to the Apollo's cabin.

"You're welcome" he said as I walked away.

Maybe she just needs something from the about some archery things or stuff, I thought. I shrugged and put it at the back of my mind as I reached the Apollo cabin.

What I saw was not what I expected.

Annabeth's P.o.V.

I walked towards the Apollo cabin, smiling evilly, and passed Malcolm on the way.

Luckily, they just finished playing basketball. I know what some of you are thinking 'Oh, they're so sweaty! EEWWW!' well, I don't really care because I've seen worse, smelled worse and felt worse.

I picked a boy from the benches and saw that new kid, James, he's been here for 2 months now, and not because I was going to use him, I suddenly remembered that he had a crush on me. Anyway, I took a deep breath and started to walk towards him. He was drinking water from his jug when I came over.

"Hey Annabeth" he said as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Hey James" I greeted back

"What can I do for you?" he asked

"Uhm," I hesitated, should I really do this? I could break this poor boys heart. I sighed inwardly "Nothing, I just wanted to say you did a good job back in archery earlier." I said

"Oh, thanks" he smiled warmly at me and I felt even more guiltier about thinking, or actually planning, to use him just to make Percy jealous.

"Yeah" I said "Well, I'll see you later" I said as I awkwardly tried to walk away. I turned around and started to walk away when he called me back.

"Wait! Annabeth!" he called as he jogged next to me. Oh no!

"Uhm, I was wondering, if you'd like to sit by the campfire with me tonight, my brothers are finally going to let me sing alone in the campfire" he said

"But you'll be sitting in the middle" I said

He smiled at me with his blinding-smile-of-Apollo-kid smile "I know" he said.

I didn't know what to say, but when I looked into his eyes, I only saw sincerity and nervousness. I couldn't let him down.

"Okay" I said "I'll see you tonight" I smiled at him

His eyes were wide with shock and he blinked a few times before he smiled at me, and I don't know if it's possible but I think it was even brighter than his first one. I smiled back at him.

"I'll see you tonight" he said

I laughed a little "Okay"

"Hey James!" one of his brothers called him and we both looked at his siblings.

"Uh, I gotta go, I'll see you tonight" he said

"Okay" I said as he ran back to his siblings. At the corner of my eye, I saw Percy standing there, frozen in his tracks. Oops, didn't know he was here, hmm, I guess I made him jealous without meaning to. Well, at least I didn't use James now, I decided on my own to go with him and didn't go with my stubbornness to just use him against Percy. I smiled to myself and walked the other way, away from Percy.

Percy's P.o.V.

I just wanted to say you did a good job back in archery earlier." I heard Annabeth said from where I was standing, which apparently was ten steps away from them. In the open. I know I should hid in a bush or something, but, hellooo! There are no bushes near the Apollo cabin.

"Oh, thanks" he smiled brightly at her. I groaned inwardly. Who does he think he is?

"Yeah" Annabeth said "Well, I'll see you later" she said as she kinda awkwardly tried to walk away. Yes! Yes! Walk away!

"Wait! Annabeth!" he called as he jogged next to her. No! Way to ruin my plans, Jovanni. Wait, was it Jovanni or Jonathan? I know it starts with a J.

"Uhm, I was wondering, if you'd like to sit by the campfire with me tonight, my brothers are finally going to let me sing alone in the campfire" he said. I knew for sure I was gonna beat this guy to a pulp. But, if Annabeth says yes because she likes him I might hurt her by doing so. *Sigh* Why is everything so difficult! Fudge!

"But you'll be sitting in the middle" she said. Yes! Good thinking, there is no way Annabeth will sit in the middle with him. Sorry bro, you're out.

He smiled at her with his stupid blinding-smile-of-Apollo-kid smile "I know" he said.

I almost rolled my eyes but realized how girly that would be.

I watched as Annabeth look at him for a while, calculating the look in his eyes.

"Okay" She said. My jaw dropped there and then.

"I'll see you tonight" she smiled at him. Did she replace me already? Did I make her so jealous she's starting to ignore me?

I watched as Jovanni looked at her with wide eyes (I can't say I'm not surprised too)

"I'll see you tonight" he said and that made me even madder

Annabeth giggled a little "Okay" When did she started giggling! I demand an answer right now!

"Hey James!" one of his brothers called him. Oh, so it's James. I shrugged it off.

"Uh, I gotta go, I'll see you tonight" he said. Stop repeating the freaking words, James, she's not deaf!

"Okay" Annabeth said one last time as James ran off toward his brothers. Annabeth just stood there looking as he walked away. Then, slowly she smiled and walked away, thank the gods she didn't go to my direction or she would've seen me standing here like an idiot while eavesdropping on their conversation. I looked at Annabeth's retreating figure. I knew this was gonna backfire anyway, but I still did it. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair, I guess there's nothing else to do but see them at the campfire.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
