"I've seen Percy blossom

And he is awesome!

He doesn't like Drew!" people groaned as Apollo sang another one of his horrible haikus. Percy still, unforunatly sat between Zoe and Annabeth. Drew sat behind Percy and would try to play footsie with him which creeped him out to no end. He sat between 2 girls who hated each other, another girl who's a hoochy mama sat behind him. Could the day get ANY better? He thought sarcastically.

"Perce, your up!" Apollo called and Percy let out a loud groan, he just had to think that didn't he? Everyone chuckled at Percy's eagerness. Percy lazily walked to the front of the room and gave a small wave,

"Sup guys." everyone said hello back. Drew winked at him which made him grimace, Annabeth gave him a small smile, and Zoe smiled at him knowingly. He hated music class soooooo much.

"I hate the class of music,

Apollos to enthusic,

I dance with Zoe in the rain,

Drew is just to vain,

She drives me insane,

This class is so boring,

I see Fred back there snoring." the class applauded and Drew nodded at the part where she was vain. I only drive him insane because he denies he wants me, she thought with a smirk. Zoe smiled at his dis at Drew and how he brought up their rain dances. Fred was sent to the office and Apollo looked offended. Annabeth felt like she couldn't breathe.

He had danced with her in the rain once, but now he was dancing with Zoe. She felt like he ripped a piece of her heart out and stomped on it, he might as well have. She looked up to see Zoe beaming at Percy and he grinned in return. That could of been us, now he wants nothing to do with you. She thought sadly, but then she got 2 more ideas worthy of Athena. Jealousy and Truth.

"We need to talk." Annabeth whispered to Zoe who narrowed her eyes at her but gave a small nod. Apollo looked at Percy and frowned,

"What do you mean my class is boring?" he asked and Percy chuckled,

"Just trying to find a rhyme for snoring." Apollo nodded but then frowned again,

"Why do you hate my class!" he exclaimed causing Percy to glare at him.

"Gee I don't know, maybe because I have to sit next to 2 jealous girls." Apollo grinned fiendishly.

"Your right, Zoe please switch spots with Drew." both their mouths fell open making Apollo laugh.

"Oh my gods!" Percy groaned and held his face in his hands. He would rather shrivel up and die then sit next to Drew. Drew smirked at Zoe and she got out of her seat.

"Your in MY spot Nightshade." she put an emphases on my because she now owned the chair. Zoe glared at her and moved her belongings behind Percy's spot. As she walked away she shoved past Drew who stumbled back in surprise. Once she regained her balance she sat down and put her hands behind her head smugly.

"I hate you Apollo." Percy grumbled half heartedly and trumped back to his seat. Apollo grinned,

"But I love you Perce!" this made everyone laugh and Percy glare. He scooted a little bit closer to Annabeth who mentally cheered. Zoe glared murderously at both Percy and Annabeth. As the class continued Drew would touch Percy's arm and he would scoot even closer to Annabeth so their arms were touching. I would rather sit next to Annabeth then Drew, Percy thought as he brushed her hand off his arm again.

Zoe was about to kill both Annabeth and Drew before Percy's hand shot in the air,

"Bathroom!" he sprinted out of the room and Annabeth took the chance before Zoe could and ran after him. Oh, Annabeth is gonna die. Zoe vowed and she slumped in her seat. When Annabeth was in the hall a hand shot out and grabbed her arm, she was then pulled to a muscular chest. Percy let go once he saw who he was hugging and grinned sheepishly.

"My bad, I thought you were Zoe." Annabeth felt that ugly feeling build up in her chest but she shook it off and gave him a curt nod. They stood there awkwardly and Annabeth wished to be wrapped in his arms again.

"I'm sorry about not believing you about Luke. I was prideful and foolish and I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of left you like that for Luke and I should of stood up for you when you needed me. I should of been there for you and I'm so sorry Percy. Your my best friend and I know I betrayed you, could you ever forgive me?" Percy stared at her wide eyed and felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Annabeth had tears in her eyes as she looked up at Percy. Instead of responding he looked into the grey eyes that used to mesmerize him, they didn't have the effect on him that Zoe's eyes had but they were still beautiful.

Her blonde curls look really fun to play with. Percy thought and mentally cursed himself for his ADHD. He didn't feel mad anymore, he was loyal to his friends and she apologized for her treachery. He could see the guilt brimming in her eyes and knew that her guilt had been eating her alive. Zoe had managed to escape Apollos class and just started to watch the scene with narrowed eyes. What's going on here? She wondered as she continued to watch the interaction between her boyfriend and nemesis.

Percy cupped Annabeth's face and gently wiped the tears that escaped the corner of her eyes. Annabeth held back a shiver and looked at Percy happily.

"I forgive you Annabeth." he whispered and embraced her into a hug. She sniffled softly as she hugged his middle tightly. He forgave her and to her that's all that mattered to. He rocked her back and forth.

"Thanks for apologizing."

"Thanks for letting me." Annabeth sighed as Percy kissed her hair. Her heart beat rapidly and began to blush. Phase 1 of the plan was complete, befriend Percy again. Zoe was immensely jealous and wasn't gonna stand there and let Annabeth take her guy. She stomped out and glared at the 2.

"What's going on!" she snarled, Percy couldn't just go around hugging chicks like that, especially Annabeth. Percy released Annabeth from the hug and paled as Zoe glared at him. Annabeth glared back defiantly as Percy threw his hands up in surrender.

"Babe, it's not what it looks like. I just forgave Annabeth, that's all." he said truthfully and Annabeth nodded in agreement and kept playing along. She was already thinking of phase 2 to make Percy hers. Zoe looked at them suspiciously.

"Why did you forgive her, after everything's she's done to you." Zoe asked with malice. Percy gave her a small smile at her protectiveness over him.

"She apologized, and me being the generous guy I am have forgiven her." he said the last part boastfully and puffed out his chest. Zoe smiled at him and gave him a light peck on the lips which made Percy's heart explode he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her nose. She giggled and then slapped a hand over her mouth. Percy looked at her and his eyes were the side of plastic plates.

"Did the Zoe Nightshade, just...giggle?" he asked in surprise while Zoe gave him a warning look. Percy then gave her a huge grin.

"I made my girlfriend giggle!" he exclaimed and did a victory dance. Annabeth held back a scowl at Zoe's and Percy's close relationship. It won't last long, she chided herself and she feigned a smile of amusement.

"Who's the man? I'm the man! Go Percy! Go Percy! Ah huh! Oh ya! I'm awesome! I'm ouch!" he yelped as Zoe grabbed his ear.

"What did I say about acting like Leo!?" she asked in a warning tone as she yanked him down by his ear so that they were eye level with each other. Annabeth frowned at Zoe,

"Leave him alone!" Zoe raised an eyebrow at her and Percy chuckled.

"Don't worry bout it, this is just how Zoe expresses her love for me, right babe?" Zoe gave him a kiss on the cheek which made him blush much to Annabeth's displeasure. She crossed her arms and huffed as Percy nodded his head vigorously.

"Sorry star girl, I'll try to be more mature. *cough* not." he grumbled the last part with a fake cough which made Zoe elbow him in the gut.

"Oomph!"

"Seaweed Brain, kelp head, fish boy!" Zoe threw insult after insult and Percy put his hands up in surrender and laughed as she swatted his arms playfully. Annabeth's eye twitched, she just called him seaweed brain.

"Only I can call this doof seaweed brain!" Annabeth snarled and stepped between Percy and Zoe. Annabeth was starting to frustrate Percy, she got angry and territorial way to easily. I'm not her territory, I'm Zoe's. The thought made Percy chuckle but the girls ignored him.

"This doof is MY boyfriend and MY best friend. He doesn't mind if I call him seaweed brain, he would of said something if he did mind." Annabeth rolled her eyes and was about to retort but then Zoe had the last straw. She was sick of stupid Annabeth, and she was certain that Annabeth was up to something. Without warning Zoe slugged Annabeth who flew back and hit the wall. The blondes mouth was bleeding and her back hurt from slamming into the wall. Percy looked at Zoe in alarm and helped Annabeth. She spit the blood out of her mouth and glared at Zoe who was about to advance until Percy intervened.

"Hey it's okay, star girl it's okay." he soothed and rubbed the back of her hand. Zoe calmed down and looked at Annabeth murderously.

"Are you okay Annabeth?" sure Percy felt stupid for asking the question but he wasn't going to yell at Zoe for delivering a long over due punch. Annabeth's eyes flashed with annoyance but she nodded and left quickly. Percy sighed and ran a hand through his hair, he wrapped his arm around Zoe.

"Why'd you punch her?" he asked softly. Zoe was relieved that he wasn't angry with her. She clung to him and nestled into his chest.

"She hurt you, she's ticking me off by getting angrily so it's probably her time of the month, and she's up to something I can feel it." Percy cringed at the time of the month comment and Zoe laughed at him. But he began wondering if she really was, was the apology actually sincere?

-GROUP AT PERCY'S HOUSE-

The stoll brothers were up to no good again. Percy and the stoll brothers planned the best prank yet. Everyone else was in the living room when they heard a crash from the kitchen. They ran in the kitchen to find Percy wrestling with a man in a black ski mask. The man had a pistol in his hand and was struggling to get the gun out of Percy's grasp. Percy was shoved to the ground and the man shot him. Zoe screamed as Percy began to bleed profoundly from his chest. Percy looked at his friends in horror as blood seeped through his white tshirt. The gun man looked at them warily before running off.

Zoe sprinted to Percy who was breathing heavily. His eyes looked wild as he glanced around frantically. Leo and Nico were at his side next along with Thalia and Jason. Everyone else seemed glued to the spot in terror as Percy struggled for breath. Everyone was crying and Percy let out a cough. Zoe couldn't believe this was happening, her boyfriend was dying right in front of her. He was her sun, her reason to wake up in the morning and go to school. She loved him with every fiber of her being and here he was leaving her. He just, couldn't. Being without Percy was like being without air, he was so natural to be around and without him she would die.

"Zoe...I love y-you. T-tell m-my mom th-that my hips don't lie." Zoe sniffled.

"Okay I'll tell your mom that...hey...wait a second!" she hissed and Percy's pain filled face broke into a huge smile as he howled with laughter. The masked man came back in and it turned out he was Travis while Connor got the whole thing recorded. Then screaming started.

"I thought you were dead!"- Nico

"I'm going to kill you!"- Thalia

"That was awesome!"- Leo

"Dude I'm crying over here."- Frank

"Wouldn't be the first time huh notebook boy? Oh and nice prank guys, you got me."- Jason

"How could you do this?! I thought you had died and it's a sick prank!" Zoe screamed above all the others and Percy felt extremely guilty as he watched tears cascade down her face.

"Someones in the dog house." Grover grumbled and Percy shot him a glare.

"I'm sorry Zoe." he whispered, his head was on her lap and he reached up a brushed her tears away.

"We're not!" the stolls said in unison and high fived. Zoe and Percy ignored them and everyone left to give the couple privacy. Percy sat up and embraced Zoe who held him tightly. Once the embrace ended Zoe gave Percy a hard slap to the face. His cheek stung immensely as his head snapped to the side. He rubbed it and gave Zoe a sheepish smile.

"I guess I kinda deserved that."

"Kinda." Percy chuckled and kissed Zoe's forehead. Zoe smiled and wrapped her arms around him. They stayed in that position for a while until Percy broke the silence.

"On our next date I re challenge you to Just Dance 3."

"Your on fish boy."

Annabeth was plotting, again. She had easily completed phase 1 but Zoe's in the way. And when she punched her, oh hades was she gonna kill Zoe. Annabeth is a brain, and a brain always has a great plan.
