Prologue

"I was not flirting with him, Luke!" I yelled at my boyfriend, Luke Castellan.

"Are you sure about that because it sure looked like you were flirting!" he yelled back. We were at his apartment after we had dinner at a restaurant, to celebrate our one year anniversary. And Luke thought that I was flirting with one of the waiters who I happened to know.

"He's my brother's best friend! He's like an older brother to me! I haven't seen him in years! So, I'm so sorry for catching up with an old friend!" I practically screamed at him. Then I said in a quieter voice, "You know what? I think we should break-up. You've changed Luke. You're a jerk, you've cheated on me multiple times, and you're just not the same!"

Luke's face was contorted with rage. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor of the apartment holding my cheek.

"You know what, maybe you're right. We're done. Get out," Luke said looking at me with hatred in his eyes.

"Gladly," I said, as I got up off of the floor and headed towards the door. But before I left I turned around and said, "Luke?"

He turned around, and I punched him in the face hard enough to make him stagger back in surprise. Hard enough to where he would have a black eye in the morning. Before he had enough time to react I was out of the door in a flash. Tears started following down my cheeks, and one which was still stinging as I got into my car.

My eyes were red and puffy as I pulled into the drive way of my best friend, Cassandra Jackson's, house.

"Hey, Percy, uh, is Cassie here?" I asked when Cassandra's brother opened the door.

"No, no one's here but me. Are you okay?" Percy asked me with a worried expression.

"No. I'll just come back later." I said, as I started to leave.

"No, stay, I'm sure Cassie is on her way home, you can wait for her," Percy told me, as he grabbed my wrist to stop me from leaving.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Percy said before he led me into the house. I sat down on the couch, and stared into space, thinking.

"Annabeth, what happened to your cheek?" Percy asked me, when he finally saw the red finger marks on my cheek. Percy sat beside me and pulled me closer to get a closer look at my cheek.

"Luke slapped me, we broke up, and I punched him before I left…" I said quietly, my voice wavering slightly when I said Luke's name. When I looked into Percy's eyes I saw anger in them.

"Are you okay?" Percy asked, caressing my cheek. I leaned into his touch and shook my head. That's when the tears started to fall. I put my head on Percy shoulder and started to sob while Percy rubbed my back and whispered soothing words.

"Sorry, I ruined your shirt," I said when I finally calmed down.

Percy laughed."That's ok."

I looked up at him and smiled. It was weird being comforted by Percy and seeing the nice side of him since we always fought and we could never get along, but truthfully I've always had a crush on him. He smiled at me and said, "Do you want to tell me what happened, if you want to."

I sighed and told him about the fight.

"I'm not that surprised that we broke up. I mean we've been fighting a lot. Our relationship hasn't been the same since he cheated on me. But, I'm just surprised that he would hit me," I told Percy.

He nodded and said, "I've known Luke for a long time and I could never picture him hitting someone but people change."

"Thanks for listening Percy," I said, as I put my head on his shoulder.

"No problem. Do you feel better?" Percy asked, as he continued to rub my back.

"Not really," I told him looking up at him.

"I think I can help cheer you up. Come on," Percy said as he pulled me up from the stairs.

"Ok, you better drive," I said as I game him my car keys.

"Ok," Percy said as he took the keys. He wrapped his arm around my waist and led me to the car. I got in the passenger side while he got in the driver's side.

"So, is there any chance that you will tell me where your taking me?" I asked him curiously.

"Nope," He said and I knew it was a lost cause; Percy could be as stubborn as a bull, just like me, which is why we could never see each other without being at the others throat. But, now that I look back on it I guess that was our way of flirting with each other and we just didn't know it. I turned on the radio, leaned back into my seat, and stared out the window as we rode in a comfortable silence. A few minutes later we were pulling up in front of a carnival.

I looked over at Percy and asked while raising my eyebrows, "Really?"

"What? Everybody loves the carnival!" Percy said as he got out of the car.

"Sure," I said while getting out of the car and rolling my eyes.

I felt him slip his hand into mine as we walked to the entrance of the carnival and he squeezed my hand as if he was asking me 'Is this ok?'

I squeezed his hand back and held on tighter to reply as he led me through the carnival.

"So, Seaweed brain, where are we going?" I asked him using the nickname that hasn't been used for a while.

Percy grinned at the nickname and said, "Still a surprise, Wisegirl."

I smiled at him and squeezed his hand again before he dragged me after him.

I was having the time of my life. Percy and I rode all of the rides and afterwards we shared a funnel cake while we were walking down to the beach, which was right next to the carnival. When we got there I noticed that there was music playing and couples were swaying to the music.

"Do you want to dance?" Percy asked me when we had thrown away the plate in one of the nearby trashcans.

I looked up at him and smiled as I said, "Sure."

He took my hand and led me out to where everybody else was dancing. He put his arms around my waist while I put both of my arms around his neck and laid my head on his shoulder.

"You know Annabeth; I've always had a crush on you." Percy told me while he looked out onto the ocean. "I still do."

"Really?" I asked while my heart fluttered.

"Yeah."

"What would you do if I returned your feelings?" I asked him.

"This," Percy said before he tilted my chin up and kissed me. I tightened my arms around his neck and kissed him back while his arms stayed wrapped tightly around my waist. When we finally pulled apart we were breathing deeply.

We stayed silent and just stared into each other's eyes. A few seconds later he asked me, "Do you have a crush on me?"

"I've always had a crush on you," I said as I looked up at him.

"Then, will you go out with me?"

I looked up at him startled and replied, "I don't know Percy, I just broke up with Luke, I think it's too soon."

"Come on, Annabeth, it's just one date, we don't have to tell anyone about it and if it doesn't work out then we'll pretend like it never happened." Percy said.

"Let me think about it," I said looking down at my shoes, "It's getting late I think we should go."

Percy nodded and took my hand as we started walking back towards my car. The entire way back I kept wondering if I should go out with him. When we were in front of my car I had decided on my answer.

I stopped and called, "Percy."

He turn towards me and asked, "Yeah?"

"I think I know what my answer is."

"What is it?"

"Yes, I would love to go on a date with you," I said before I leaned up to kiss him. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me closer as I put my hands on his chest.

"We have to go Percy," I said as I walked out of his embrace.

"Why? I want to spend more time with my new girlfriend," Percy whined as he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me against his chest, to where he was hugging me from behind.

I giggled as he kissed my neck and put his head on my shoulder.

"Who said I was your girlfriend?" I teased him as I turned my head sideways to give him a peck on the lips before I walked out of his arms.

"You're not?" Percy asked me pouting as he walked towards the passenger side and threw me the keys.

"I was just kidding Seaweed Brain," I said as I got into the driver's seat.

"I knew you were. I mean who would want to turn down someone as awesome as me?" he said as he got in.

"I'm not even going to answer that," I stated as I rolled my eyes and started the car.

When we got back to his house no one was there. We walked inside and sat on the couch not talking just enjoying each other's presents.

"I need to get going before my dad starts to worry," I said when I saw that it was already 11:30 and I had left home about 8:30.

"Ok, I'll pick you up tomorrow around…" he trailed off looking at me.

"3 o'clock." I finished for him before I stood up and started towards the door.

"Hey, wait! I forgot something!" Percy said as he turned me around.

"What?" I asked him confused.

"I forgot my good-bye kiss," He stated.

"You are so childish," I told him before he lowered his lips to mine for a few seconds.

"Hey, don't pretend you didn't like it!" he said.

I sighed dramatically and said, "I guess you're right."

He grinned before I kissed him, again.

"Bye, Seaweed Brain."

"Bye, Wise Girl," he said as I walked out of the house.

And that is how I started dating my best friend's brother. Luke and I's break-up was the best thing that ever happened in my life. The next day when we went on our date we decided not to tell anybody, especially Cassandra, and just keep pretending to hate each other. The only people that knew about us were Thalia and Nico, Percy's cousins and I've known Thalia since I was seven and we've been best friend's ever since. The only reason Thalia and Nico found out was because they saw us kissing that night in front of my car. What they were doing there, we may never know. But they promised not to tell anybody. It's been six months since Percy and I started dating and they've been the best six months of my life…...but all good things have to come to an end.
