Disclaimer: Me no Percy Jackson :(

Thalia was worried. Percy had just run off with Annabeth following.

Thalia didn't exactly approve of dating, the group of girls that she used to travel around with forbid boys from joining and didn't allow the people in the group to date, but even she knew that Annabeth had some feelings for the famous cousin.

No. It wasn't Nico.

Seriously though, even Nico knew that! Could Percy be anymore oblivious?

"Okay." Thalia closed her eyes for a few seconds. "Where could Percy have gone?" She turned to her younger cousin.

Nico pretended to think about it. "Well, he could have gone to the arcade or to anywhere but the library, so..." Nico raised his eyebrows. "Care to follow him?"

"Yeah.. no. Seriously, Death Breath." Thalia glared.

"Fine. Anywhere in this house. I doubt that he'll go back outside after the news that we learned."

"What news?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Thalia answered Silena's question. "Let's get looking. Nico and Piper can come with me. Everyone else, spread out around the house. Knowing Percy and Annabeth, they could be anywhere "

So everybody spread out and left the room.

"Okay, what news?" Piper asked when everyone was gone.

"We're leaving to go back on tour on Friday." Nico answered without looking at her. Even Thalia averted her eyes, but when Blake looked back, she was surprise. Piper had paled.

"Yeah, now we rely need to find Percy and Annabeth! Annabeth's going to ask him to be her girlfriend!"

"Wait... what?" Now Nico looked at Piper, eyes wide. "Today? Now?"

"Yes!"

The three of them sprinted off.

Thalia speed walked through hallway to hallway, calling Percy's name.

"Percy! Kelp Head! Get your butt out here! I swear, I'm going to kill you when I find you! Well, maybe not because it's be bad publicity... but Ill do something bad that you'll regret! Percy! Where'd you go?" She stopped for a little bit because her voice started hurting from using so loudly, but she soon continued. "Percy? Annabeth? Where are you? Quit hiding, you little teens!"

Nico was doing the same thing. "Get out here, Percy! Annabeth, quit holding him up! Yo Perce! Come out, come out wherever you are! Oh my god, Percy. I should like the WWW. Get out here before I pull you out! Get over here, Percy! Gods!"

Piper was a little more lucky. She managed to find the two of them, but left soon after, feeling too guilty and secretive and so many other emotions that just wouldn't come out and wouldn't show. But most of all she felt bad. She felt bad for not stopping Annabeth, she felt bad for not telling Percy, and she felt bad for not telling her crush about her own feelings.

Wow, Jason was something. At least he was to her.

Sighing, she walked back up and met their little group, say I g that she hadn't found anything or anyone with a heavy heart.

Percy had leaned in at first, but then backed up soon after.

"What are you doing?" He whisper shouted, moving farther back.

Annabeth looked down, embarrassed. Percy was confused: Annabeth was never embarrassed! She's Annabeth!

"So you don't like me the same way, then?" She asked, eyes pleading. Percy had to give into the eyes, even if he knew that his was much more convincing. Percy totally rocked the 'hurt baby seal' look.

"No. I just- Yes, but-" He paused. "I don't know."

"Do you need to think about it?"

"Definately."

There was a pause.

"Sorry."

"Don't be, Annabeth. You're not the first person that's wanted to do that to me. You're just the first to act on it."

"Oh."

Another pause.

"Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I-"

"Percy? Where'd you go?" Thalia's voice was heard from the other side of the door. Her footsteps seemed to pound in Percy's ears like a drum.

Both Percy and Annabeth's breathes hitched. They tried to make themselves as silent as possible. When they could no longer hear Thalia's footsteps, they resumed their conversation.

"What, Annabeth?"

"I just wanted to say that I-"

"Yo Perce!" Nico's voice called out. Annabeth's shoulders slumped. "Come out, come out wherever you are! Oh my god, Percy. I should like the WWW. Get out here before I pull you out!"

Nico's footsteps quieted too, silencing almost instantly.

"Yes?" Percy asked.

"I-I- I just wanted to say that I-"

The door opened. Piper gasped.

"Annabeth, were you going to-"

Annabeth nodded.

"And I just-"

She nodded again.

"And now you-"

Nod.

"Oh. I'll just be going now..." Piper bit her lip and slowly closed the door. Perry's eyebrows were scrunched up.

What is it with girls? He wondered. They're so confusing.

"So, what were you going to say Annabeth?"

She gulped. "That I- Okay, so I've been thinking and- I've thought about this a lot, you know me, and I came to the conclusion of-"

"Just spit it out!" Percy whisper shouted.

Annabeth's eyes widened. "I really, really like you, Percy. I probably like you more then anyone. Can you please give me a chance?"

"I-I don't know, Annabeth. I've known you for quieted a while, but I've known so many people for so much longer. I just... I think that I'll need to know you a little better before actually dating you."

Annabeth nodded, silent. "Okay." She muttered. "We'd better go. Your friends are wondering where you are..."

Percy still heard the rest of the unfinished sentence. You, but not me.

Annabeth was hurt.

She had known Percy for long enough for her to grow feelings, why couldn't he have done the same? It was all just so unfair, everything. Her family and missing mother, her evil stepmother, her loneliness.

Life.

Life was so unfair. It was unfair! Sure, that was negative thinking. But Annabeth had decided to quit being positive. Her last positive thought was of Percy. She gained all of the courage to tell him that she wanted to date him and she rejected her. Then again, it wasn't his fault.

If only he weren't such a Seaweed Brain. He was so clueless, Annabeth thought that it was lucky that he had understood her question: Can we start dating? Can you be my boyfriend, me your girlfriend? But he had said no.

Maybe he had known other people for longer. Annabeth would be amazed if he had never been asked out before. His perfect and mesmerizing eyes, his charming smile. The aura of friendliness surrounding him. It was all so... perfect. So Seaweed Brain like-minded it was wonderful.

Annabeth knew that she was obsessed. She was fine with that, too. Obsessed, yeah. Completely crazy about him... Yeah. But she wasn't at stalking mode, when you become really desperate. She wasn't like that... right?

Of course not.

Sighing, Annabeth leaned back. Percy had left the room around three minutes before, and Annabeth was just there thinking.

As flour thought, the one thing that Annabeth access at, she came to a conclusion:

She was in love with Percy.

Wait... no. It was different. It was something way more than that:

She, Annabeth Chase, had hopelessly fallen in love with one Percy Jackson.

I thought that I should clear up a few things: Annabeth really likes Percy. Like, really likes.

Percy doesn't know how he feels about Annabeth. He's in DENIAL! ;P

Piper now knows about TB3 leaving. And she likes Jason. I hope that I'm creating drama! I want to have as much drama as possible to create a last... three days? Yeah. Because it was Tuesday. Wait... why was it Tuesday? Shouldn't a talent show and late night party be in a Friday... Eh. Who cares. They're teenagers! They can do whatever!

Okay. I've blabbered (is that a real word?) on enough. Here's your update!

Until next time,
