Chapter 2

It was at that moment, Percy realized, he was in trouble. He found himself glued to the ground as he looked up to see a girl. She was staring right down at him, and Percy never felt so uncomfortable before. Immediately Percy thought: crap.

She wore a bright orange running jacket with black athletic tights. Her hair was blonde and curled, like a princess. She was tanned and looked very athletic. She almost reminded Percy of what a Californian teenager looked like. Almost. Her eyes ruined the complete stereotype. Not that it was a bad thing. They were gray, like an intense storm cloud. Beautiful, yet dangerous. Her piercing stare came off as if she calculated 50 different ways to take you down in a fight.

Percy immediately felt his stomach drop.

"How did yo-... when did I…? Who?-" Percy murmured, a little stunned.

"It seems like we collided," she said. "Are you alright?" She offered him her hand.

Percy just stared. He stared at the hand, then back to her, and then back at the hand. He was completely paralyzed by this girl. A fish out of water.

The girl cracked an amused smile. Percy was sure she was going to laugh at how pathetic he looked right now. Instead, she took his hand and helped him up.

As soon as their hands touched, Percy felt like his skin was on fire. The contact brought another falling sensation to his stomach, and his brain was malfunctioning. He didn't know what to do.

"I guess it was my fault that this happened. I wasn't really looking where I was running. Sorry about that"

"No. No. It's fine. I should have been paying attention." Percy let out an awkward laugh. He scratched the back of his head like he always did when he was nervous.

She seemed to study him. Her analytical, gray eyes sent another shiver down his spine. "Are you sure? You seemed to fall pretty hard there."

"It's all good. Thankfully the ground caught me in time."

The blonde chuckled. At least she found my joke funny, Percy thought. Something about that made him feel a little better after making a complete fool out of himself.

" I'm guessing you go to Mykonos High? Both of you that is," She asked.

It was at that moment Percy realized Jason was there too. Oh, gods, Percy thought. He is never going to let this go.

Jason, watching the whole scene unfold, tried not to laugh with maximum effort. He cleared his throat, "Yeah, we're both juniors, attending Mykonos High. In which, I never saw you around here before. Are you new here?"

The girl nodded her head. "My friend and I came from California. We just moved here together because of our parents' businesses."

"That's cool. The name is Jason Grace. This here is Percy Jackson."

Percy saw her cross her arms as if she was wondering they were worth the trouble of becoming friends with.

"Nice to meet you, Grace," she said as they shook hands. "Percy, huh?" She contemplated.

Percy was wondering if the girl knew what kind of troubles he would cause. He thinks she does.

She offered them a golden smile. " Name's Chase. Annabeth Chase. Hopefully, we get to meet each other in better circumstances next time." With that, she began to jog away.

Percy wasn't ready for her to leave yet, though. He doesn't know why, but he didn't want her to be gone. They barely just met. But for some reason, he wanted the moment to last longer. "Wait!" He called out for her. His words stumbled out of his mouth. "I don't think you should…" Should what? Continue her route? What was Percy thinking right now?

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Well, I suppose a little cha-" Before she could finish her sentence, a call came from her cell phone. She picked it up. "Hey, what's up Piper?" She asked. Annabeth turned towards Percy again, " Sorry about this, I gotta answer this call. My friend here can be such a drama queen sometimes."

"Am I busy?" She glanced towards Percy again. "No, I suppose that's true. Fine, I'll meet you at the usual. See you." She sent him an apologetic smile. "I guess I have to go now. My friend needs me right now. It was nice meeting you Percy." And with that, she left. Leaving Percy to digest what just had happened, and a very amused Jason.

Percy was too shocked to process what had happened.

He was unaware of what just had transcribed. It seems that he had fallen for this blonde chick. Hard. And don't expect him to recover from this incident at all.

Jason looked over to Percy again, who was still in this dream-like state of his. "Still regret not waking up this morning?" He asked, with that sly grin of his.

"Oh, shut up."
