Chapter Two

Olivia's Obsession

Olivia's POV

I'm not a spoiled child. Sure, I've always gotten what I'd wanted and needed in the past. But that's different. i've never asked to get pampered and prodded at, now have I? It's just luck. But from the moment I lay eyes on that gorgeous hunk, I knew I would do anything to have Percy Jackson. I would fall into Tartarus twenty times if it meant I'd get to have those luscious lips on mine. He wraps his arm around Annabeth's waist. A raging fire ignites inside of me, and my jealous hatred for Annabeth is so strong that it takes all that I am to not rip her apart. She will never be a real sister to me. She'll just be an annoying little brat who's in the way of something I want. And I will get him. No matter what it takes. She thinks she scares me? Tough luck. Soon it'll be me he's holding, and me he's kissing. Now I just need a really good plan to separate them.

Annabeth's POV

I pull Percy away from where the rest of the people and Olivia are.
"I don't like that new girl..." I trail off. "There's something not right about her."

"Yeah, she's kind of weird." Percy agrees. I let out a puff of air, in relief. It's good that Percy's on my side. He links his fingers with mine, and we start walking outside.

"Let's go to Firework Beach," I say. "Nobody will know where we've gone. They're all too caught up on gossiping about that 'new girl' anyways.." He pauses, slightly reluctant.

"But I'm hungry..." He whines like a three year old child. I laugh. Of course. He's always hungry.

"I have food in my bag," I say, holding my backpack up so that he can see it. "And stop complaining, Seaweed Brain. Let's go," Now, he wholeheartedly agrees and walks with me towards the beach. A giddy feeling washes over me. I look over at Percy, grinning. He raises one eyebrow, skeptical. I kick off my shoes, drop my bag, and throw a handful of sand at Percy.

"Hey!" he complains. "You got sand all over my shirt! He struggles to brush the wet sand off of his beloved orange Camp Half-Blood shirt as I run away, laughing. He comes up from behind me in less than fifteen seconds. He pulls me up into his arms and laughs as I try to push him away. Finally seeing that he won't let go of me, I link my arms around his neck and pull him in for a kiss. His lips are soft. I sigh in pure happiness, and I can feel his lips grin against me. Not wanting this moment to end, I run my fingers through his thick, soft hair. I pull him closer to me and we kiss. This time, it's a long, passionate, lingering kiss. His lips part against mine. He smells so good. Like an ocean breeze and fresh seawater. A soft moan escapes his lips, and it's my turn to smile. He moves his lips with a sudden urgency, and I kiss him back fiercely. Instead of satisfying my desire and need for him, the kissing makes me want more. I kiss him back with all I've got until I'm out of breath. I pull away gently, gasping for air. He pulls me down onto the sand, and wraps me into his warm embrace. I nestle my head into his chest, and close my eyes. We stay like that in silence for a few minutes, until he speaks.

"Uhh... Annabeth?" he asks.

"What?" I look up at him.

"I'm still really hungry..." I laugh, and he joins me. I stand up, brushing some sand off of me. I extend my hand out to him. He takes it, and instead of me pulling him up, it's the other way around. We roll over until he's trapped me with his arms. He looks over at me with those beautiful green eyes of his, and I can't do anything but kiss him senseless.

Piper's POV

Annabeth seems to be kind of nervous around Olivia... That's probably because Olivia has a giant crush on Percy, though. Of course, since I'm the daughter of Aphrodite, I can tell when these sorts of things are 'happening'. But being a child of Aphrodite isn't all good. I remember the day that I got claimed. It was absolutely mortifying. Except for the part where Jason said I was beautiful. That rocked.

Anyways, we're all just eating when Olivia says,"So, are Percy and Annabeth dating?" I'm kind of surprised that she'd picked up the names so quickly. But then I remember. Annabeth was told to watch after her, and Percy is her major crush, so I shouldn't be surprised. Everyone kind of just looks at me. Of course. Since I'm the daughter of the goddess of love, they expect me to tell her.
"Yes." I say. "They've been dating for quite a while. Maybe nine months?" Jason kind of nods in agreement. So do a few other people.

"Oh.." she says. I can hear the disappointment and jealousy coating her voice. Everyone just kind of gets back to eating and chatting. It doesn't get any less awkward, though.

After about fifteen minutes, when we're supposed to get ready for our training session, Annabeth and Percy walk back in. They're laughing, and they have their arms around each other. I see Olivia's knuckles turn white as she tightens her hands into little fists. I roll my eyes without with my back turned to her. She has to do way better if she thinks she can take Percy away from Annabeth. Those two are like a match made in heaven. Nothing can separate them.

At least that's what I thought that day.
