The Letters
{Percy}
I looked at the folded papers on the ground and bent over, snatching them up.
I picked them up before I put all my junk in my locker. As I headed for the gym, where our prom would be held, I read them.
One said:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You're a great singer
And I love you
~Your Secret Admirer
They'd wrote it in cursive, which killed my eyes. I managed to figure it out though.
Another said:
Dear Percy,
Hay bae! It's your secret admirer! Again. You'll probably think I'm clingy but I <3 you so much I couldn't wait to write another letter... I saw you at the swim meet, I saw Ugly Faced Carey bothering you. She's SOOO annoying!! But.. I'm a secret, and you probably don't know I like you...
I watch you in science, and language. I know you have a girlfriend, and I'm not going to intervene, unlike Carey. Nasty bitch...
Anyways, I trust you won't tell the school I called her that. You're not that kind of guy.
~Your Secret Admirer
This time it wasn't in cursive.
Then another was in completely different handwriting- I's dotted with hearts, unlike the first one which shows the first girl wasn't dramatic and creepy. But I immediately knew who this letter was from.
Percy,
I love you more than Annabeth does, know idea why you haven't realized it that.
~Carey
That idiot was stupid enough to give me that?
Letter four was sloppy and I knew that this wasn't a Carey, but more so like the first 2.
Percy,
As soon as I saw you I knew you'd either had a girlfriend already, or would go out with Carey. Either way, you'd end up with Carey. You're a great guy, because every guy falls for the slut, Carey...
I admire you for not falling for the dumb blonde!! She's too clingy and desperate, and somehow she ends up ALWAYS getting what she wants.
Anyways, I'm writing this to tell you how I feel. I've been wanting to slide this in your locker since the day you walked into Goode High... But I didn't have the courage. Same for my friend, who left 2 others...
Anyways, I want to say I like you, but I'm not getting between you and Annabeth, unlike a girl I know *cough cough* Carey.
~Your Secret Lover
Letter 5
Roses are red
Violets are blue
It's been a secret a while
But I'm in love with you.
Letter 6
I love you, Percy. And I have for a while.
-Your Secret Admirer
And finally, Letter 7
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Don't tell Annie
But I'm star struck by you
Wow, if this got to an every day thing, it'd be a problem.
"Hey," I heard Annabeth say about 7 feet behind me. I folded the papers back up, and she didn't seem to notice. I shoved them in my music case I carried for practice.
I smiled at her, and took her hand.
We walked down the hall, and I explained what we were singing, how everything was going- but I left the last part... Jason's suggestion, a surprise.
"Those songs better be dedicated to me!" She said playfully, giving me a shove.
"They are, no worries. I gotta get to practice, babe, cya later," I said. I told her goodbye and headed for the gym, where I saw everything was set up.
I jumped happily up on the stage.

After a few hours, it was lunch. But instead of our usual 20 minutes, we got 10 minutes to shove our faces and then get back on stage. It ended up where most of us were still eating while we were practicing, which really ticked my principal off.
Finally it was time to go home, and as soon as I got to the penthouse Annabeth was waiting. She had on short shorts and a Fall Out Boy T-shirt. Something casual to wear around Camp, or here. But her curls and grey eyes took me away, up to the point I was smirking I guess.
"What?" She asked.
"Someone's looking hot tonight," I laughed. "Is that smoke I smell?
"Oh that's just Leo," she said. "He accidentally set his room on fire while watching the Yankees play."
"That's not what I-"
"I know what you meant, Seaweed Brain," she laughed.
I stepped towards her, and then I got tackled from a room off the side. Jason had a knife to my throat.
His face was evil, and my eyes went wide. The knife was on my neck, not cutting me, but still poking me.
"Jason!" Annabeth screamed. All the demigods grouped outside, looking horrified.
"I've hated you ever since I've known you, couldn't wait for this." Jason growled. Fear crept into me as everybody looked horrified. My heart beat, and I knew somebody would stop him. Oh, what am I kidding? Everybody's in shock! Like me! Silence for a second, and then-
HAHAHAHAHA CLIFFHANGER!!
Just kidding, here's the book:
Silence for a second, and then everybody burst out laughing.
So did Jason. He laid the knife beside me, and hoisted me up.
"Gotcha." Jason said.
