Hey guys! Thank you for reading my story And to those who reviewed this story, a massive thank you! (Although half of the reviews came from my cousin Eunice… she's really supportive.)

Annabeth's P.O.V.

It was a perfect Saturday morning. I was going to the camp I usually go to every summer next week and I'm so excited. The camp I'm going to isn't that great but it was better than waking up to my little brothers' annoying voices every day. Besides, my best friends are there and I missed them so much. I live with my dad and his other family. My step-mom and I aren't in good terms but we don't hurt each other. We just don't talk to each other. I prefer it that way. It's not that my step-mom has a horrible attitude, she's actually amazing and she's such a good cook. The only problem was she's not my real mother.

"Annabeth!" I heard my step mom shout "Reyna's here!"

Reyna's my best friend since we were eight. I remember the first time I met her. She wouldn't talk to anyone and she gives the best death glares. Some told me that her father died in a plane crash. Other said that Reyna's dad was in jail because he killed an innocent man. I became friends with her when I had a fight with a girl named Drew and she saved me. After that incident, she started hanging out with and we got to know each other. It turns out that her dad was still alive (and not in prison, thankfully) and he was just too busy with work to deal with her. I also found out that Reyna has an older sister named Hylla. Her mother left her when she was still a baby so she doesn't know who she is.

I quickly went down to greet Reyna. She had her glossy black hair in a braid and she was wearing a purple shirt and skinny jeans. She was also eating jellybeans. She loves jelly beans.

"Hey." I said as I lead her to my room. My step-mom didn't bother serving us food because Reyna goes to my house regularly and she always had a bag of jelly beans with her so she doesn't need any other food.

"So," Reyna said sitting on my bed "Did you talk to Piper?"

"Yeah," I said as I sat down next to her "We talked about camp and she introduced me to her friend."

Reyna didn't bother asking me who was the friend Piper introduced me too. She was probably too busy eating her jellybeans.

"You know what, Reyna?" I said "Piper is actually amazing and nice. You should forget about Jason and try to be friends with her. She's in my band now; I can't afford to see you and Piper fight over some guy."

She just shrugged. Reyna had a crush on this boy named Jason for the past four years. Jason was oblivious to it all. When Jason met Piper, they became close and eventually, Jason fell for her. Reyna tried to avoid the topic whenever I bring it up but I can clearly tell she was hurt. Four years is a really long time.

"You know what, you're going to camp with me and we're going to have so much fun you'll forget that Jason exists." I said as I took the bag of jelly beans from her.

She smiled a little but I can see that she was still upset over this "Jason and Piper" thing.

"Annabeth, you should really get a boyfriend." She said before taking her bag of jelly beans. I don't want to get a boyfriend yet. No one asks me out so I'd rather spend the whole day reading books than chasing after boys. I don't hate boys, I'm just afraid that I'll fall in love with an idiot and he breaks my heart later on. For now, I'll just focus on my music and nothing else.

"I don't want or need a boyfriend." I said "I'm perfectly happy with being single."

Reyna rolled her eyes "Please, I noticed you looking at that Adam kid next door, you were practically drooling."

"I WASN'T! I don't drool!"

"Whatever you say, Annabeth. But I just wanted to tell you that he's single and he might like you."

"I don't like him."

"Yes you do!"

"I DON'T LIKE HIM REYNA! HE'S ICKY."

Reyna laughed "Annabeth, out of all the adjectives you can use to describe him, you go with 'icky'? You're smart, I heard that Piper chick introduced you to her friend, why don't you date him?"

"He's not my type." I said "He was already flirting with me before I could tell him my name. He was nice though."

"Well, I heard there will be a lot of new campers this year so I hope you'll find a boyfriend by that time." She said.

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend, Reyna."

"Fine," Reyna said "If you fall in love this summer, you'll have to give me Little Mix's new cd signed by them."

"Are you challenging me?"

"Yes, and if you win, I'll be your slave for a year."

"This is fun." I said "Get ready, Reyna, because I'm pretty sure I'll win."

"Annabeth, darling, I'm Reyna Quiñones, I always win."

"Oh really?" I asked "Well, get ready to serve me coffee in the morning because I won't fall in love."

"Let's not talk about this bet anymore," Reyna said "Let's talk about something else, like your band."

"Well," I said grabbing my guitar and playing a few chords "We're doing great! Hazel's voice is incredible and Katie's just wonderful. I wish you were part of my band though."

"I don't sing." Reyna said as she braided my blonde hair. I don't know why but she likes braiding my hair "I write songs, sure but singing isn't one of my favorite things to do."

"But you have a great voice." I said

"My voice is nice but not as great as yours." She said "I like music! I just don't like singing, okay?"

I don't really like fighting with Reyna. She's really persistent. I wish she could see how talented she it. As she finished braiding my hair, we played some music and continued talking about our lives. When Reyna left, I went downstairs to eat lunch. I never ate with my step-mom because once I sit down with her; she's going to ask questions that were a bit personal. My dad said that she was just concerned about me but I didn't listen to him.

A few minutes after eating lunch, I heard my phone ring.

"Hello?" I asked the caller.

"Hey Annabeth!" Piper said "I just wanted to tell you that my cousin's going to camp with me. He's really nice and talented."

"And you're telling me this because?" I asked

"Reyna might like him." Piper said "I feel really sorry for her because of the whole Jason issue so I decided to set her up with him. Don't worry; he's not the type to break her heart. I wanted to tell you because Reyna might kill me if I tell her that I'm going to set her up with my cousin."

Well, at least Piper wants Reyna to feel happy.

"Sure, what's his name by the way?"

"Percy Jackson." She said.

(A/N) The surname "Quiñones" was suggested by my cousin. Oh and Little Mix is a real girl band from UK. Listen to their songs, it's really awesome.
