Stage 3-PART 1-Change of scene (Wednesday)

Percy Jackson POV

When I walk into Lucy's diner and bar I can feel multiple pairs of eyes on me. Normally I would grin at the scantily dressed girls or wink. But now I couldn't be bothered to even turn. Why? Ever since Monday mornings first photo shoot I've done nothing but think about Annabeth. She's messing with my mind.

And I kind of like it.

I push the grey eyed princess out of my mind only to spot her sitting with her legs dangling over one arm of a chair and her back resting on the other. She's reading something and taking notes, which I guess is only what we can expect. Annabeth Chase; dedicated artist and tireless college student. Piper stands behind her curling her hair. As if Piper notices the sudden silence from the females in the room she looks up, and then gives me a secret smile. Thalia's setting up in front of the pool table.

I smile and saunter past tables and join them in the back next to three pool tables.

"Hello ladies," I say charmingly and sprawl myself on the chair in front of Annabeth. She looks up and scowls. I grin.

"Hey," she says reluctantly and erases something in her notebook.

"Hi!" Piper chimes happily from behind her and gestures to sea green hoodie. I scoop it up and shake off my sweatshirt before sliding into it.

"I don't understand why all Percy has to do is put on a coat, but I have to sit here for hours on end-"Annabeth start and Piper looks up at me thoughtfully.

"Shush!" I cut Annabeth off, alarmed at the look Pipers giving me.

She sets down Annabeth's hair, sprays a layer of something sparkly onto it and comes around to examine me. I glance over at Annabeth, who sits there looking as beautiful as ever, looking at me with an evil expression.

The Piper grabs a thin comb and attacks my hair.

"Ow!" I say indignantly as she savagely drags the brush though my hair.

"Shut up. And stay still!" She combs out my hair then fixes the hair on my forehead to lay flat and then brushes them to the side.

Piper pulls away and brandish the goddamn comb, "Ta-dah!" she sings. My hair sits flat and combed out neatly, nearly over my eyes and off the side. It gives me a dark mysterious look that I like.

Annabeth stares at me and a flash a grin at her. She's about to open her mouth, to swear at me I'm sure, before a steam of thick toxic smelling hairspray descends on to my hair and inhaled though my nose.

I start coughing violently. I hear Annabeth's musical laugh and I snap my head up to glare at her. She smiles at me before hoping of her chair and pocketing her phone. I do a double take, and then rake my eyes up her outfit again.

She's wearing a drifting purple top, dark jean shorts and a pair of black converse. A/N: ANNABETH'S OUTFIT, CHECK IT OUT 3( cgi/set?id=103513521)

Annabeth looks dangerous and badass in a way that doesn't completely overwhelm her look. She's freaking smoldering.

As if she catches my eyes on her she flicks her gaze up at me and arches an eyebrow. I let the corner of my lips inch up. She rolls her eyes at me then stalks towards one of the pool tables. Piper catches my eye as I pass her and she smiles at me.

So what are you going to do now? Her eyes seem to say and I grin to myself.

Oh yeah, this would be fun. I don't even think Annabeth's capable of playing pool. She arrives at the farthest table and inserts a dollar in quarters. The balls rumble out and Annabeth immediately tosses them on the table.

"Eight or nine ball," Annabeth asks.

"Eight," I say and fit them into the triangle then pull it away. "You break." I say.

"Cool," she says. I blink, that was not expected. She twirls the cue and flips the triangle away. She examines the table then in one quick shot she cracks the cue ball forward and pockets so many balls I lose count. All I can do is stare.

Annabeth notices and sends me a triumphant look. I snort at her. Thalia's camera clicks away noisily.

"Annabeth!" Thalia says sharply, "Play nice! This isn't good for the scene!"

"Sure." Annabeth says flatly. She examines the table carefully, "Stripes." She calls then makes another play, pocketing two more.

"Where'd you learn to play like that?" I ask leaning on the table. Annabeth straightens up, her eyes still glued to the table.

"My dad used to have a table at home. We'd play all the time. Mom was never a huge fan though." She smiled as if remembering something funny. Then she drills the cue ball and makes another perfect play.

"Geez, are you ever going to miss?" I ask widening my eyes as she makes another perfect shot.

"Nah," she says. Annabeth looks up from the table gives me a genuine smile. Thalia's camera clicks again.

Annabeth moves closer to me to make her next move. She inches down to probably make the winning shot.

Hell no. I am not losing at pool.

Annabeth's POV

I lean down over the table, getting ready to make my move. Something moves in the corner of my eye.

"Are you sure?" Percy asks, his breath fanning over my neck, I stiffen. He's close, way way too close. He brushes his lips over my cheekbone. I shiver.

"Yes," my voice waver and I curse myself. I drag myself back into the reality. The one were Thalia's camera clicks away and I'm not blushing over some ridiculously attractive boy. I make my move. I miss, big time.

His laugh is low and he moves in closer. My heart starts beating frantically.

"Aww, don't feel too bad. If it makes you feel better, I think you smell greeeat." He says nuzzling my neck. My head tells me to shove this jerk into place, but I can't.

"Stop. Fingers off mofo." I say half-heartedly.

Thalia's camera is going to explode I swear. Thinking about Thalia shakes me into reality. This is all just fake, everything going on right now is just part of a play. God, why does he smell so good?

"Freeze you two." Thalia says, I turn even redder and she gives me a foxy smile over Percy shoulder. "Percy, get closer to her."

"Thalia, we're already-" I start. Then Percy slides closer, my heart starts spazzing out. This is all just fake, everything going on right now is just part of a play. Geez, since when does he have his ear pierced?

"Its fine with me," he gives me a dirty smile. His arms slide around me and I'm trapped between him and the table. I refuse to look at him, and instead, I stare at the star necklace around his neck.

"Now kiss her." Piper says.

"Pardon?" I say whipping my head towards her, my eyes widen. She gives me an evil smile. Percy draws even closer, dipping his head down, a naughty grin on his face.

"Whoa," I say drawing back a little, "I don't think that we should be doing this on the third stage, isn't it way too early?" I say trying to buy time and yet my heart wants time to go faster.

"Well," Percy says pulling back a little, "Most couples have sex on their third date, but I didn't think you'd want that…" I jerk away from him, annoyed.

"Damn straight! What is your deal? You have no-"I'm cut off as Percy leans down, our lips inches apart.

"Come on, Annabeth, kiss me." He whispers, and suddenly he is.

A/N: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH 3

FIRST KISS EVERYBODY .

STAY WITH ME GUYS! I PROMISE NOT TO DISAPEAR OF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
