Annabeth:

I'm a very hard worker, and I'm not easily distracted. So when I say I could barely focus on the rest of my classes, I mean it. I was so lost in my thoughts, my English teacher pulled me out of class to ask if I needed to go home. I was so excited for the movie with Percy I could barely breathe. Every time I thought about him, I smiled. So basically, I never stopped smiling. The worst part was, I had no idea why. I decided my best bet was to contact an old friend.

"Hello?" A groggy voice came from the other end of my cell.

"Thalia!" I called into the phone. "How are you?" I hadn't talked to her in a couple months and I missed her.

"Tired," she moaned back. "It's 12:07 in the morning. This better be an emergency." I had completely forgot about the time difference between New York and California. Glancing at the clock, I noticed it was a little after 3.

"Sorry," I quieted my voice. "I didn't notice."

"What!?" Thalia sounded surprised. "Annabeth didn't notice something? What's going on?" Being my closest friend, she could tell I was lost in thoughts.

"Well," I cleared my throat and tried to calm down. "I met this boy."

"Never thought this day would come," Even though I couldn't see her, I could tell she was smiling. "So… what's he like?"

"He has awesome hair, jet black," I began. "And the prettiest sea green eyes…" I rambled on and on about how great Percy was, telling her how we met.

"How long have you known him?" Thalia asked, more interested than I thought she would be.

"Two days," I said, suddenly realizing that I was obsessing over a boy I met yesterday.

"Two days?" Thalia snorted and tried to cover it up with a cough. "He must be pretty special."

"That's what I'm trying to figure out," I said. "I never had such mixed feelings before. That's why I called you. I need your help, Thals."

"Okay, I'll try to," I heard her sigh. "Maybe you should tell me his name first."

"Oh, yeah," I had completely forgotten to tell her his name. I was too excited to remember the simplest of things. "It's Percy. Percy Jackson." On the other end, Thalia went silent. "Thalia?"

"That's a nice name," Thalia answered nervously. "Never heard that before… nope."

"What's going on?" I demanded. "Why is that so weird?"

"It's not," She was breathing heavily. "Got space in your apartment?"

"Wait, what?" Why would she be planning a trip? "Thalia! You can't come all the way out here! That's crazy!"

"I'm a crazy person," I could hear Thalia get out of bed and drag her suitcase out of her closet. "I'll see you soon, Annie." And she hung up.

An hour later, I had cleaned up my apartment, done all my work, and made some nachos. I sat down at the table and started eating. Not even five minutes passed before a soft knock came from outside. Quickly, I stood up and ran to the door. I opened it to see a familiar pair of sea green eyes.

"Percy!" I motioned for him to come in. "You can put your stuff on the table. I was just-"

"Nachos!" Percy cut me off, stealing a chip or two. "How'd you know?" Smiling at me, he settled in, unpacking a blanket, laptop, and water bottle from his backpack.

Mittens, who had been hiding under the table, let out a small cry and scurried out. Percy followed her with his eyes. "This is Mittens, my kitten," I said picking her up. Percy reached out and pet her soft grey fur. "I forgot to mention her before."

"That's okay," Percy took her from me and tickled her chin. "Did you rescue her?" Percy glanced in the direction of my sweatshirt hanging over the arm of the couch.

"Yeah, I did," I was reminded of the night I found her. "She was on the side of the road with her two sisters. I brought them all into the rescue center I volunteer at, but for some reason, I couldn't give her up."

"Wow," Percy put her back down and Mittens purred at his feet. "Do you think you could get me to volunteer at your rescue? It sounds like fun."

"Of course," I promised. "You can come with me next time I go in."

"Cool," Percy smiled, staring into my eyes. "Ready for the movie?" He pulled out his laptop and made himself comfortable on the couch with his blanket. "Are you going to join me?" He said, patting the spot beside him. I pulled on my hoodie and sat down, keeping a safe distance.

The movie started out kind of sad. No, I had never seen Finding Nemo before. I sniffled through the first five minutes, expecting Percy to laugh at me. Instead, he did the same, hiding behind his blanket like a scared little boy.

The movie was pretty good, and when it was over, I was slightly upset there wasn't more. I wanted to see Nemo and little Squirt again, but Percy shut his laptop before the credits started.

"At least tell me you liked it," He said, waiting for my response.

"It was good," I admitted. "I didn't want it to end." Percy laughed and stared into my eyes again, like he was searching for something. "Is everything okay?" I asked, concerned.

"Your eyes," He said. "They're beautiful." That came as a shock to me. My boring grey eyes, beautiful? Percy leaned in closer, our faces only inches apart. He reached for a small piece of my hair, tucking it behind my ear. I closed my eyes, unsure of what was about to happen and-

A knock on the door interrupted our moment, whatever it was about to be. I had no idea who could be at my door this late. On my way to the door, I checked the clock. Was it 8 already? Behind me, Percy was packing up his things, getting ready to leave. The knock sounded again and I turned the knob. The door kicked open to reveal a short, black-haired girl in black jeans and a biker jacket.

"Annabeth!" She threw down her bags and wrapped me in a hug.
