I walked in to school, trying to find my friends-mainly Percy Jackson. I knew that he was the most popular boy in school, with his cute lips, adorably rumpled hair... Anyway, I knew from the day he walked in the school doors that he would be mine. I also know that I had to get to be his friend, since he kept regecting every girl who tried to make a move on him. He kept saying that he had a girlfriend. Percy was obviously lying to spare their feelings. Since I have known Percy for a while now, I was thinking that I should ask him out after school. Plus, I was sure that he had feelings for me.

I walked up to my friends and opened my locker. Our lockers were right next to each other.

I brightly said, "Hi, people." I was greeted with various 'hey's and 'hi's.

My friend Darren suddenly burst out, "Percy says that his girlfriend Annabeth is going to pick him up at the end of the day. That is, if she is real."

Of course she is real! She is the Hades kicking girl that I love." Obviously Percy said that. "You all want to meet her?"

'Sure' was the general response.

Since I didn't have Percy in any of my classes, I was left to wonder what this 'Annabeth' girl was like. Sure, Percy had talked about her before, but I had just zoned out.

--------------------Time Skip-------------------

After what seemed like forever, school was out. I was rushing to the front to see what Percy's girlfriend was like.

I had gotten to the front just in time to clearly see which girl was Annabeth. Percy was was kissing a Californian-stereotype-looking girl. When she opened her eyes, I could see that they were cold and calculating gray.

I merged with my group of friends, on the inside upset at the love between them, on the outside getting annoyed and a bit amused.

After their kiss, Percy beckoned us over to meet the California chick. We all said hi, and introduced ourselves.

Annabeth told us, "I'm Annabeth. Has my Seaweed Brain told you about me?"

Inwardly I was confused by the nickname, but said, "He has told us much about you. He made you sound like a goddess so much that the dufuses over here-" I motioned to my slack jawed friends, "-didn't believe that you existed. I, for one, believed in your existence. No offence or anything, but I don't think that he could Photoshop the pictures of you two and keep all of his facts straight."

Annabeth laughed while looking at Percy's pouting face. Oh how I wanted to kiss that face...

"Percy, I don't think, can successfully operate a computer without blowing something up," said Annabeth. "We have to go- Sally was making her famous chocolate chip blue cookies."

Percy and Annabeth climbed in their blue Prius and drove away.

Now how was I supposed to get a taken man?
