Hey guys! Thank you for the reviews. Please keep it coming! Now on to chapter 3.

Annabeth's POV

"Madge! What are you doing here! I missed you so much!" I squealed, as I hugged my best friend.

"Oh, Annabeth, I came to visit you! Surprise!" she screams back, engulfing me again in a hug.

Well, the first time I saw her again, I was shocked. 2nd grade, she was the biggest nerd in class. Typical thick glasses, and braces on her teeth and for her scolio.

Now, she had a great comeback. Her frizzy hair before was now pin straight. Looks like she had to treat it every day. She was taller, and she had longer legs than before.

Her face was full of make up, which was weird because I never saw her wear them.

I was just smiling madly at Madge, when I remember that Percy was behind her.

My face dropped.

"Her name's Madge. I met her in a double date with Grover." Percy said.

Could it be? Oh please no. Madge cannot be-

"Annabeth! What are you doing here in an alley with my boyfriend?" she interrupted, and both my face and Percy's reddens. I guess he figured it out too.

"Uhm yeah, I uh-" I try to get out.

"Madge." Percy somewhat scolds. "That's not polite."

I chuckle. "Mad, we met in camp." Percy laughs at her nickname. I try not to laugh harder.

"Oh, really? What camp?" she asks curiously. Wow, Madge never changed her attitude. Always the jealous type.

Percy and I stare at each other. I kind of talk to him through my facial expressions.

Me- what are we gonna tell?

Percy- I don't know. Just, uh, control the mist?

I smile, Chiron finally taught me how to change stuff around here in the mortal world. Madge is mortal, fortunately.

I snap my fingers in front of her face. "You know, the camp in New York? The one past the strawberry fields." I say, and pray to all the gods that it actually worked.

Madge tilts her head in confusion, then her face turns back to normal.

"Oh, yeah! That camp, whatever." She answers, and both Percy and I sigh.

Percy's POV

Ugh, Madge, why do you have to make things so complicated? I stare at Annabeth, and she looks as awkward as ever. Well, who wouldn't feel that way, if your best friend was actually dating your ex.

Madge just fiddles with her designer blouse, when she thought of something again.

"So, uh, how long did you two stay in camp together?" she asks, and I frown.

WHY DO YOU HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS, MADGE? ARE WE IN AN INVESTIGATION OR SOMETHING?

"About 5 years." Annabeth says truthfully, and I stare daggers at her.

Me- no, not 5 years! She might think that we became close and everything and she might get even more jealous.

Annabeth-yeah, uh, okay. 2 years of summer, I guess?

Me- sounds good to me.

"2 years of summer, I mean. Just 2 years." Annabeth corrects herself.

"Oh, so, what are you two?" she asks, and I wanted to strangle her now.

Me- so what am I gonna say. Best friends? Sparring partners? Lovers?

Annabeth- x mark on the lovers, Seaweed Brain. (but she blushed) Sparring partners.

Me-uh, okay. Sparring partners is good.

"We were sparring partners. She kicked my butt every day." I answer, and she looks pleased.

Annabeth chuckles at one of our great memories. "I loved kicking his butt." I couldn't help but smile at her.

Annabeth's POV

I glanced at my watch, and noticed that I was already 2 hours late.

"Oh my gods! I am soo late for work." I scream, and Madge looked at me weirdly.

"God, she meant. Oh my god." Percy helped me out there.

"Oh well, you're right. It's almost 11. Time for my salon treatment! I already sent a reservation in Revamp." She says, and goes near Percy.

She pulls his shirt down, and kisses him hard on the lips.

Percy looked startled, at first, and hesitantly, he kissed her back. I mean, come on, they're dating. It's okay that they're doing that.

But please, extreme PDA. In front of me. Madge Collins, you know exactly how to piss me off. From stealing my snacks, to copying my homework, and now, to kiss my best friend.

I try to contain my facial expression, right until they both catch their breaths. I could've put a sign beside them- Extreme steamy make-out session, watch it here for free.

"Annabeth, let's hang tomorrow, okay?" she says, hugging me tight.

I simply pat her back, and push her gently away. She then walks to Percy, and gives him a peck on the lips.

"Pick me up, 12 sharp, okay?" she whispers, and Percy simply nods.

Madge walks away, and both of us sigh.

I pick the books up that were scattered in the pavement, all torn and tattered. Percy, on the other hand, picked the books up from the canal, with his bare hands.

We go back to the alley, and there, Percy slowly dries them up.

He stared at me, while I was fixing the books.

"Look, uhm. I'm sorry about a while ago." He whispered, clearly embarrassed.

Oh, you mean the kissing thing? Yes, good thing you're sorry. That was in my head.

"Nah. Oh come on, Percy, she's your girlfriend. It's alright to do that." I say.

But please, not in front of me next time, got it? I think again in my head.

Percy dried them all up, now they all smelled fresh and were super dry.

He helps me carry them to the library, and once I reach the steps, we both put them down.

"Look, Percy thanks for-"

Percy hugs me tight, not letting me finish.

I smile, hugging back at him. I just missed cuddling with him.

I finally release the hug. "Thanks again, for helping me, Percy." I say, and he gives me his signature lopsided grin.

"No problem, Annabeth. Let's keep in touch for the next few days, okay?"

"Just I.M. me anytime. See you later, Seaweed Brain." I wave at him, before I go in the library.

Percy's POV

She went in already, but I couldn't help and smile back at the now closed door, looking like an idiot.

"Sure thing, Wise Girl."
