Annabeth's POV

I was working on Olympus trying to not let a green eyed boy take over my mind. I finally gave up and flopped face down on my bed.

"Ughhh." I groaned when I heard a light knock on the door. "Come in." my voice was muffled by the bed, but the person heard and came in.

"Hey, Annabeth, are you okay?" Emily's voice asked, concerned. Well it sounded concern, but I knew better than to fall for that. She was an Aphrodite girl, all she cared about was getting me back together with Percy.

"Just peachy." I said.

"Well . . . you're face down on your bed; that obviously can't be a good sign. Let me guess you're thinking of a certain son of Poseidon."

"No." Lie. I just couldn't get him out of my mind. I wish he were easy to hate, but he's not. That's why I always avoid him; I'm never going to talk to him unless it is an absolute emergency.

"I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, I can tell. I know you just gave up studying because he kept coming back in your thoughts." I was irritated, did she come here to torment me or help me.

"Ok, if you're going to make my life miserable, then can you please go?" I asked, hoping she'll leave and leave me to my misery.

"Don't you mean more miserable than it already is?" She teased. But after she saw my face she knew to shut up. "I just came here to see if you wanted to go to a girls' night out with me. We can go to a movie and dinner." I guess a night out with my friends won't hurt.

"Sure, when?"

"Tomorrow night and dress fancy." She said before leaving. I started pawing through my closet, trying to find something decent to wear. I wondered why I had to wear something nice if it was just us two. But she was a daughter of Aphrodite, she and the people around her have to look good.

Tomorrow came around and I was ready to go. My hair was down and I looked okay, pretty good, but not as good as Emily. She looked like a supermodel. Of course an Aphrodite girl always has to be beautiful.

We walked out of camp (with Chiron's permission, of course) and went to the movie theater, where we going to watch Clash of the Zombies, it was a horror film and I gave her the idea, hoping we weren't going to see a chick flick. I've had enough drama in my life. She agreed quickly, I thought she would put up a fight, but no . . . Something is going on here, and I don't know what it is. I don't hink I will like it.

We reached the movie theater and bought our tickets. Right before we got in, Emily yelled out.

"Oh my gods look who it is!" She pointed over to two males, one of who awfully looked like Nico and the other one who looked like . . . No, it can't be! Out of all places he chooses to come here on a Friday night. "Hey Nico, hey Percy." She looked at Percy and winked. Wait, winked. They have something going on. Whatever, this is going to be a relaxing night, well it was until Emily said.

"Hey guys, you want to sit with us." No. No. No. No. Please say no.

"Yeah sure." Nico said. He walked over to Emily's side and grabbed her hand. Wait a second. Nico is Emily's boyfriend. So why was she winking at Percy. Was she cheating on Nico? Ugh. That's her problem, I have enough to deal with. Percy was coming closer to my side with his arm reached out.

"Don't even think about it." I said before turning my back and heading into the theater. I got first picks so I chose the last seat by the wall and made sure that Emily was on the other side. I didn't even watch most of the movie; it wasn't scary enough to divert my attention.

I didn't even notice when Emily got up and Percy moved into the seat next to me.

"Nice movie huh?" He whispered in my ear. That wasn't Emily's voice that was Percy's . . .

"Get away from me!" I hissed, getting up and moving out of the theater.

"Annabeth wait." He came after me. Shoot, I didn't bring my invisibility cap. I quickly turned into the girls' bathroom, he couldn't come in there. But he kept following me, in the girls' bathroom, where astonished girls' were gasping at the random boy in the bathroom. I went into the stalls and locked the door. Tears were streaming down my face and I sat down. He couldn't get any closer.

Suddenly a familiar face came from underneath the stall, he slid in and I was trapped. I couldn't go anywhere. Why is my luck so bad? He slid his arms around me and I pushed him away.

"Annabeth we have to talk. You know I was under a spell, why won't you forgive me?" He backed away, hurt.

"I don't want to talk, I know you were under a spell, but that doesn't change the pain you caused me." I answered curtly. I tried to get to the stall door, but he was blocking it. I gave up in defeat, there was no avoiding this.

"Annabeth, I will never hurt you like that again. We're in this together. You're my Wise-girl." He said softly. I burst into a new set of tears. He came closer and put his arms around me, I didn't push away mostly because I didn't feel like moving.

"You know Luke said that same exact line to me, and he betrayed me, how do I know you won't do the same?" I asked.

"Because I'm not Luke." He answered before moving his lips to mine. They felt so familiar; we fit together like two puzzle pieces. We just kind of sat there in the bathroom stall until someone knocked.

"Annabeth, are you okay?" Emily asked. "Nico said he saw you run to the bathroom, but he can't seem to find Percy anywhere." I laughed a little, but then realized what had just happened. I looked at Percy with worry but he just had his signature lop-sided grin on his face. I saw the chance and pushed past him and opened the door. Emily was there, waiting for me to come out but she looked behind me and noticed Percy.

"Did I interrupt something?" She asked.

"No, I was just leaving." I walked in front thinking; I could probably go home now. But they were probably going to follow me.

"Hey guys," I turned around. "You can go to the movie theater without me; I'm just going to get something to drink." I hoped they didn't question me.

"Ok," Emily said before she bounced back into the movie. Only Percy remained.

"Go." I told him.

"No, I'll come with you."

"I'm not a baby I think I can buy my own drink."

"I may be a seaweed brain, but I'm stupid. You're not going to get a drink; you and I both know that. But I'll let you go. If you don't want me then fine." His words stung, a lot.

"Fine, I'm leaving. Why don't you go back to your precious Rachel." I snapped. I turned and walked out of the cinema. It was raining, that was awesome. Now I have to walk three miles in the rain back to camp.

I finally got to camp, shivering, soaked to the bone, and dead tired. It was after curfew so everyone was in their cabins. I walked to my cabin, but they were probably still awake. Instead I headed down to the beach, hoping there was no one there. I love the beach, that's the only place I go to think. Of course as I got closer there were two silhouettes talking to each other. I got closer and could hear glimpses of what they were saying.

"You said it would work."

"She needs . . . time."

"I miss . . . Wise-girl." Wise-girl? That was Percy. Ugh. But wait what would work? This conversation brought back a small memory from the movie theater. Emily winking at Percy. It finally made sense, they tricked me. Emily took me to the movie theater where she knew that Percy and Nico would be waiting. This was to get us back together. I stormed out of my hiding spot.

"You guys planned this!" Percy and Emily turned to look at me.

"Ummm . . . no." Answered Emily. Percy suddenly had a new found interest in his shoes. He didn't protest, which meant I was right. I abruptly turned and stomped all the way to my cabin, not caring who heard. I went into my cabin, slammed the door shut, collapsed on my bed and burst into tears. No one came to comfort me, which was good, but it made me burst into a fresh set of tears. That night, like previous nights, I cried myself to sleep.

Percy's POV

I didn't even try to support Emily. I just looked down, and hoped for the best. She turned and stomped away. She is so confusing, I just gave up. I know there is no way to persuade her, she is as stubborn as a donkey. Emily turned to me.

"That would have worked; why didn't you back me up?" She slapped my shoulder.

"She's a daughter of Athena, when she figures something out, she's usually right."

"Whatever, now it's time for phase two." She turned and walked away.

"Wait, what's phase two?" I asked, running after her.

"You'll see." She winked and left. Oh gods kill me now. I wandered into my cabin and fell into my bed, where dreams of Annabeth were awaiting me.
