Maybe...

So there I was standing in front of the whole camp, with Percy staring at me like I had just dropped from planet Jupiter.

I held my plate in one hand and gave Percy a small wave, "Hey."

For a second he didn't say anything. I watched as his mouth opened and closed as he tried to think of something to say.

"How about 'hi'." I suggested. Percy blinked then nodded. "Hi."

There was an awkward silence. I wanted to turn back to my table and finish my, now cold, chicken wing, but for some odd reason my feet absolutely refused to move. Grrr…I hate it when my body teams up against me.

To my surprise, Percy broke the silence. "So…what happened to you."

I looked down and blushed. "Silena."

"Oh. That explains the makeup and everything." He said with a laugh. I smiled while nodding. It was good to be able to talk to Percy again. WAIT A MINUTE!

I turned to Percy with a worried expression. "Percy, I swore on the river Styx I'd stay away from you."

Percy stuffed his hands in his pockets, with a sly grin. "Yeah. But I don't have to stay away from you."

Slowly, I began to smile. "Well, I guess you're right."

"You bet I am." Percy said. "I am ALWAYS right, and there is nothing a little girl-" He pointed a finger at me. "Such as yourself, can do about it." He crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air. I raised an eyebrow.

"Is that a challenge, Seaweed Brain?" I retorted.

Percy smiled sweetly. "Oh I'm sorry. I forgot you don't catch on that quickly. Yes, Annie dear, it IS a challenge."

I stared at him with a look of part offense and part impressed. Percy had obviously done his share of getting better comebacks.

I was about to reply, when suddenly-

I've been really tryin', baby,

Tryin' to hold back this feeling, for soo long, now,

If you feel, like I feel, baby,

Then come on, oh, come on.

I instantly recognized it. 'Let's Get it On' By Marvin Gaye. Geez, what is this High School Musical?

Slowly, I turned to Percy, he was glaring at someone behind me. I looked to my right, and sure enough Grover Underwood was standing there holding a pink, diamond encrusted iPod Touch, clearly enjoying the shades of red our faces were turning.

"GROVER!" Percy and I yelled at the same time. He jumped three feet in the air, and started rapidly pushing different buttons muttering, "Okay, okay. I'm turning it off, I'm turning it off. Sheesh, I just wanted some fun. After all, It IS Monday..."

After that, he trudged away towards his girlfriend, Juniper.

I thought it would be all awkward between Percy and me, but he looked at me as if nothing had happened and said, "Why was it pink?"

I blinked. "What?"

"Why was his iPod pink?"

I shook my head. "Who knows. It's Grover we're talking about here." Percy wasn't through. "Well, why did he have one? I mean, demigods aren't supposed to have them so-"

"But satyrs are allowed to have them and if you would please sit down, and stop FLIRTING with each other that would be wonderful. Mr. Jackson? Ms. Chase?" A voice interrupted us.

Oh no...

I spun around, and instantly wished that I hadn't. The entire dinning pavilion was staring at me and Percy. Mr. D had a microphone in his hand, and Chrion was looking at us clearly amused. The Aphrodite cabin was whispering to each other, Thalia was smirking, Grover was looking pretty sheepish, and Nico was sulking-Well, that's normal, but you get the point. This could only mean one thing: They had seen the entire thing.

'So THAT'S why Grover came and played that song! He wanted us to go sit down and not embarrass ourselves even more!' I mentally face-palmed.

To be honest, I sort of forgot where we were. *Sigh* I guess being with Percy does that to me.

I quickly gathered up my plate and headed back towards my table. They were all snickering and trying not to laugh.

"Go ahead." I grumbled. They all burst out in exaggerated laughs simultaneously. "Yeah. Okay, I get it. That was hysterically funny, now shut up and eat your peas."

At the campfire, I sat as far away as I could from Percy. Do you know how awkward it'd be if we were caught sitting next to each other? Ugh. I don't even want to think about it.

Normally we'd sing camp songs and stuff like that, but tonight we all just sort of stared at each other awkwardly.

Finally, Mr. D ordered us to entertain him, by doing something exciting.

"We could share each other's feelings!" A voice said behind us. We all screamed simultaneously.

You can probably guess who said that...

Aphrodite looked at us totally offended, "Oh, come on! I'm not THAT hideous!"

"Aphrodite, what are you doing here?" Mr. D said in an annoyed tone. She was examining herself in a floating, golden mirror, and was fixing her hair and re-doing her make-up. "I got bored so...I came here."

Please don't notice me. Please don't notice me. Please don't notice me. I chanted over and over in my head.

"Silena! How are you and Beckendorf doing?" She asked. Silena blushed bright red and hissed. "Not now, Mom!"

I sighed in relief. She didn't notice me. THANK THE GODS! Apparently, the gods did not want to be thanked at the moment, (A/N: LOVE THAT LINE!) because she whipped around to face me.

"Annabeth, how are you and Percy doing, hm?" Aphrodite smiled warmly. DARN IT! She noticed me. The camp turned to snicker at me. I don't understand...WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME!

Aphrodite laughed as if hearing my thoughts. "Because it's fun to watch your reactions! Apollo's betting you two will end up together in about a week; Ares thinks maybe tomorrow, don't ask me WHAT he's thinking; And Athena is just not pleased at all, but no one cares what she thinks."

'THE GODS BET ON ME AND PERCY!' I practically screamed inside my head.

Aphrodite tossed her hair. "Besides you two are the cutest couple since Romeo and Juliet!" She squealed like a little girl but then added, "Well, that and Thalico. I'm still trying to work out the kinks..."

Thalia jumped up, "HEY!"

"Oh don't deny it darling! You'll see in a few weeks." Thalia's eyes widened, as she whispered to Silena, "She's joking, right?"

Silena said nothing.

"RIGHT?"

Nico looked a little uncomfortable. I couldn't really blame him tough. I mean, Thalia is three years older than him, AND she's in the hunters, so I' not really sure how that's gonna work. Maybe if she stayed in the hunters for the next three years? Oh, well. Aphrodite will find a way. She always does.

The love goddess made some boys come up and sing, 'Just the Way You Are' by Bruno Mars. They obviously were a little frightened by her so they sang. To my surprise they actually did pretty good. Travis grabbedKaie and spun her around a couple times. I thought he was gonna get a slap in the face, but Katie seemed to be njoying herself. Grover and Juniper were doing some crazy dances moves that were totally off beat. I couldn't hold in my laughter, but that's when I noticed something strange.

I spotted Rachel across the fire from me. I expected her to be either:

A) Staring daggers at me

B) Dancing with Percy

OR

C) Sitting there being Rachel.

Instead of all of options, she was staring at a boy. A boy who was obviously NOT Percy...

CLIFFHANGERS ROCK! Please keep reviewing! Your reviews are very amusing to me. LOL!

MissPayne143: OH MY GOSH! I could not stop laughing for TEN MINUTES STRAIGHT! My mom thought something was wrong with me...and yeah, I've had my fair share of embarrassing myself by running into things too. Once I was texting a friend while walking to third period and I ran straight into a locker making a really loud CLANG! It was a really awkward moment for me because everyone was like, "Oh my gosh, did she seriously just run into a locker while TEXTING?" Yeah, not a high point of the morning...

Starkid Rocks: Aww thanks! Grammar issues in stories seriously tick me off. Like not capitalizing something at the beginning of a sentence just doesn't look fancy, and to me it's just not...good. Haha! But thanks!

ChildofTitains310: Yeah. I tried making her more...FUNNY, but she ended up coming out all weird and hyper like some crazy five-year-old. LOL!

Candy123: O_O...How could I have not done that? I'M SO STUPID! Then I could've used that for blackmail and - *5 Hours Later* - JUST LIKE THAT! SHE SHOULD'VE TOTALLY DONE THAT! I MEAN, SHE HAD THE CAMERA AND EVERYTHING! And what really annoys me is that it would've been perfect for - *The Following Audio Has Been Removed Because It Exposes The Rest Of The Story. Thank You And Have A Nice Day*

powerofthename: When I saw your review I was like, "OH NO! WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME!" But then I read it and I was like, "Well...okay." So yeah ^_^

Rain~*
