Summary: Percy is in love with his best friend Annabeth and then he realizes somethings aren't just meant to be. (Pertemis and a little bit of Percabeth. Bits of Perachel.)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the Heroes of Olympus series, or characters I adopt from those books. Merely the characterization and plot are mine.

It all started when Percy was in love with his best friend when he was 15. He had been in love with Annabeth for 3 years now, but Annabeth never seems to know or care. Percy always leaves hints and clues as to his crush, but Annabeth never seems to realize. And when she does its already too late.

Age 15:

I remember the day clearly when I first felt different towards Annabeth. We had been best friends for 7 years now. I remember waiting for Annabeth outside of school after a long and boring day of school (typical day in my life). As soon as i see her i get this funny feeling that I have been recently having whenever i am near her.

As soon as I see that beautiful face of hers leave school I smile brightly and lightly jog towards Annabeth. "Hey wise girl, why the happy face". Annabeth sighs dreamily before she says" Luke asked me out to the Halloween dance, I can't believe it after having a crush on him for 2 years he asked me out. Oh, My Gods, Oh My Gods, Oh My Gods. What do I do? I can't believe this." She kept gushing like a girl on sugar high. Uhh. Luke Castellan, I think bitterly. You see Luke is a year older than us and is a junior. Me and Annabeth. Oops, sorry. Annabeth and I are currently sophomores in high school. We attend Harlem Renaissance High School in Manhattan, NY.

Back to current times. Somethings boiling inside of me, but I try to ignore it. I try to act as happy and excited as I can. "Oh really, wow, that's so cool. Wait what, but didn't you say we were going to go together." I said feeling disappointment. Realization dawns on Annabeth. "Oh Gosh seaweed brain, I-I-I completely forgot. You know how I've always liked Luke a-a-a-and well I... said yes. I'm so so sorry seaweed brain. I'll cancel if you want me to." I sigh. "No, it's alright wise girl. I know how much this means to you and don't want to take away the opportunity to hang out with the oh so great Luke Castellan. " I say slightly bitter at the end.

Annabeth frowns. " Percy I'm sorry I completely forget I'll go tell Luke right now I can't go because i am going with you. " I sigh somewhat regrettably. "It's fine Annabeth, I know how much this means to you. You can go and have fun with Luke. I will just stay home and watch the new Transformers movie, while eating some cookies and drinking some coke." I try to cheer her up with fake enthusiasm. "Really?" Annabeth asks with big wide eyes, superredes and grateful towards me. I nod my head at her. "Thanks so much Percy, you know how much this means to me. I'll make it up to you I promise" she says as she hugs me tightly and thanks me over and over again.

I sigh again and let go. "You should get going if you want to have enough time to get ready and make it to the party." I spoke. Annabeth gives me one last look before she nods her head and runs off to her house. I watch her retreating figure leave before I decide ro call it a day and head home.

"Mom! I'm home" I say as i unlock the door to our apartment. I can smell moms amazing food like always from the door. "Hi sweety, I'm in the kitchen." Mom calls back. I hang up my coat and drop my backpack by the sofa before making my way to the kitchen.

" Mmmmm. Smells good mom, so what's for dinner?" I ask my mom as I greet her with a hug and a kiss to the cheek. "Oh, just some steak with mashed potatoes and rice with some gravy." Mom responds. I hum in approval. "So how was your day, Percy?" Mom calls out as I settle down in the table. "Ah you know the usual. Boring, boring and more boring." I say with fake glee. "Oh, did i forget to say boring."

Mom just smiles at my comments and shakes her head fondly. " So, Percy..." Hmmm I respond. "Do you know what you are planning to wear today for the Halloween dance?" She asks. My expression must have not been what mom was expecting because she immediately looked over me in concern.

I sighed before explaining to mom about how Luke asked Annabeth to the dance."Oh, I'm so sorry sweety. I know how much you have wanted to take Annabeth to the dance for a while now."

"It's fine mom, really". She gives me a quick look of hesitation before she dropped the conversation and got back to cooking. After an uneventful dinner I decided to take a shower then do my homework. After finishing my homework, I decided to laze around and watch some T.V.

Later that night I received a message from Annabeth.

Annabeth: Hey seaweed brain, I just wanted to thank you again for letting me go out with Luke. I'm having the best time of my life. I just wish you were here; I miss my best friend. Sad face emoji.

I read the message quickly before I responded.

Percy: It's no problem wise girl, what are friends for. Don't worry about it you can tell me all about it tomorrow during school. Hope you have a good time. I will just watch some movies here and there before I decide to go to sleep. Have fun.

After a few minutes Annabeth responds.

Annabeth: Of course, seaweed brain. Don't watch too many movies. And don't eat a lot of sweets before you go to bed.

I groan reading the message but still manage a smile.

Percy: Of course, mom. Bye wise girl see you tomorrow.

Annabeth: Bye seaweed brain.

And with that I turned off my phone and resume watching T.V., but i still felt somewhat lonely knowing Annabeth was having fun with someone else and not me. I wished I was the one taking Annabeth to the dance. I wished I was the one who Annabeth was having a great time with. And most of all I wished I was the one Annabeth had a crush on. But at last, the fates seem cruel. I just wished that Annabeth forgot about Luke and started looking at me as more than just a friend. I sighed thinking to myself that hopefully in the future I get to be together with Annabeth than more than just friends.

But unknown to Percy, his life was suddenly going to get much more interesting and maybe just maybe he was going to find love...

And done. This is my first Fanfiction I am writing and honestly, I am pretty happy with the results. I know it may not be the best, but I tried. I have been wanting to write a story for a bit now but never got the inspiration. Personally, I prefer Percabeth over Pertemis (Although Pertemis is a close 2nd) but I just felt like what if Percy finally got tired of being ignored and not loved the same way he loved Annabeth and well I came up with this. Hope you guys like it. Review how you felt. What I could have done differently and what you expect next chapter. This story will be about 6 to 10 chapters at most. Next chapter will be Percy at the age of 16. Review if you want a point of view on Annabeth too.
