A/N: Guess what? I'm not dead! Whoo-hoo, I'm writing something! Jump for joy now if you wish, as this may be the best news you have ever received in your life. Hey, just kidding guys. As many before me, I have decided to write a Mortals Meet fic! First of all, go check out my best friend We're All Okay's Mortals Meet fic if you haven't done so already. Because if you haven't...HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK?! GO NOW! GO! Now, assuming you're coming from that fic/Megan (We're All Okay) sent you here, WELCOME! To ease everyone into this story, I'm starting with a basic idea, as you can see in the chapter title. Also, it's Percabeth! And who doesn't love Percabeth? Because if you don't, go away. Shoo. I don't like you anymore. Anyway, I'd like to include both my own take on generic ideas and original ideas in this. So, without further ado, let's begin...

CHAPTER 1-THE STEREOTYPICAL POPULAR GIRL

Cassidy Andrews' POV

Percy Jackson annoyed the hell out of me.

Honestly, it's like his brain is made out of seaweed or something.

I'm the most popular girl in school. And I KNOW I'm drop-dead gorgeous, with silky blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes.

So my boyfriend should obviously be Percy Jackson, the hottest guy in school. With his messy black hair, sea-green eyes, and swimmer's body, I can't help but be attracted to him.

I'm also an expert at the arts of flirting and seduction, which should make making Percy mine as easy as pie (and expression I never got, frankly, as pie is very difficult to make. But that's a subject for another time). I have every boy wrapped around my finger.

Except for Percy Jackson.

He turns me down.

Every. Single. Time.

And NOBODY turns down Cassidy Andrews.

Nobody.

He claims to have a girlfriend. But it's so obviously a lie. So when I saw Percy standing at his locker, I knew this was the perfect chance to strike.

"Hey Percy," I cooed, placing my hand on his shoulder and running it down his muscular arm.

"Hi, Cassidy," he said uncomfortably, almost like he wasn't happy to see me. He was probably just playing hard to get. I like that, it's cute.

I will make Percy Jackson mine.

"So, how about we go on a date tonight? It's long overdue, Perce," I purred seductively, winking flirtatiously.

"No thanks, Cassidy," Percy sighed, exasperated. "And please don't call me Perce."

"How about tomorrow then?" I offered, twirling a lock of perfected curled golden blonde hair around my finger. He smiled, a lovestruck look in his eyes. I finally had him, or so I thought.

"I can't, Cassidy. Tomorrow I'm seeing my girlfriend," he smiled. I frowned. How long did he plan on keeping up that lie?

"Your girlfriend? What's she like?" I asked, pretending to care. What I really meant is 'Let's see how long you can go on about a girl who doesn't exist?' Percy sighed, smiling.

"She's perfect. She's smart, funny, and kind. We've been best friends since we were twelve, and we've been through a lot together. I feel like she's the only one who really gets me. And-" I tuned out at this point. She sounds really amazing, and kind of…perfect for him. And she sounds real. But there was no way I was giving up. Cassidy Andrews doesn't give up, and she always gets what she wants.

"That's all great," I cut him off, "see you tomorrow, Percy."

"Bye," he said dazedly, a loving look in his eyes.

And I know it wasn't meant for me.

THE NEXT DAY

"Hey Cass," my best friend, Margo, greeted.

"Hi, Margo," I answered dazedly. I was watching the morning swim team practice. Margo may have said something else, but I wouldn't notice, as I saw Percy (the swim team captain) take off his shirt and dive into the water through the window. I sighed. He really was gorgeous.

"Oh, honey. You've fallen hard," Margo sighed, shaking her head. I snapped out of my daze.

"What?" I snapped.

"If you want Percy, you need a plan, sweetie," Margo smirked.

"What do you have in mind, Mar?" I asked, a smile slowly spreading on my face.

"Easy. Just walk up to him, and kiss him. Simple as that," Margo suggested.

"That's…perfect!" I squealed, hugging Margo. He'll be mine by the end of the day, I know it. She left to go to her locker while I turned back to the window to watch the swim team continue practice. Well, I just watched Percy. I'll freely admit that.

AFTER SCHOOL

"Hi, Percy," I greeted.

"Hi Cassi-woah," he said uncomfortably, as I had wrapped my arms around his neck and pushed him against the lockers. "What are you doing?"

"Percy, I don't care about your fake girlfriend. You and I are meant to be," I whispered flirtatiously, closing my eyes and moving my lips toward his. And I was so close, less than a mere inch away, when Percy shoved me away.

"Cassidy! How many times do I have to tell you? I have a-"

"Yo, Percy! We have to go!" a voice interrupted. I turned towards the voice to see a smiling, scawny boy with curly black hair. Percy smiled at the boy, and they embraced.

"Leo! It's been way too long! Who else is in the car?" Percy asked excitedly.

"Thalia, Nico, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Calypso, and…Annabeth." He said Calypso in a lovey way and winked at Percy when he said Annabeth. He then noticed me. "Who's this?"

"I'm Percy's girlfriend," I answered with a smile.

"Cassidy, you are not, and never will be, my girlfriend!" Percy shouted. "Please just stop trying!" My cocky grin fell.

"He told you," Leo laughed. And that's when a girl ran in. She had long, curly blonde hair, and intelligent storm grey eyes. She ran into Percy's arms and he lifted her up, spinning her into a hug Hollywood style. He crashed his lips into hers, and I felt a pang of jealousy. This was Percy's girlfriend. Percy's real girlfriend. Percy's real, beautiful girlfriend.

"I missed you, Seaweed Brain!" she smiled. He cupped her face with his hands.

"I missed you too, Wise Girl" Percy whispered, kissing her again gently. "I love you."

"I love you, too," she whispered.

"Get a room, lovebirds!" Leo joked. Percy and his girlfriend laughed off the comment and walked off behind Leo, hand in hand. And that's when I knew.

Percy and I aren't meant to be. He and his girlfriend had found true love.

I only hope I can find true love in life, or at least a fraction of what Percy and Annabeth have.

I'm so sorry that sucked. I promise this story will get better, at least to the point that reading it doesn't cause you physical pain as this chapter did to me. In a spur of insanity, I have decided to post this. Hm, I guess everyone has to start somewhere, yeah? Anyway, please R&R and flames are only allotted by Leo Valdez (however constructive criticism is fine.)

Yours in Demigodishness,
