ANNABETH POV

"Nope. That's not happening." I told Percy stubbornly and concentrated on finishing this essay on To Kill A Mockingbird. It was one of my favorite books but Percy wouldn't let me focus on finding my annotations.

"Pleaseee," His head which is in my lap shifts slightly so he can look at me. He gives me his baby seal face. Yup not even the normal puppy face he went all out and used the seal face.

I sighed and rubbed my eyes, "Percy I want to but I can't." I moved my laptop to one leg so it didn't collide with his head.

Percy frowned, "Fine. But then I'm gonna go get ice cream with Piper." He got up and grabbed his keys. I rolled my eyes at his attempt of blackmail.

"Go ahead, though can you please get me a box of cookie dough?" I looked up at him hopefully. He looked at me thoughtfully as if deciding what would happen if he denied. Before he could decide I spoke again.

"Wait but don't you also have homework, Perce...?" His head shot up and started working faster at tying his shoes.

"Sure I'll grab you a pint of cookie dough," He stated blatantly ignoring my other question. I smirked, satisfied (I'll never be satisfied!) and started typing again.

SOPHIE POV

"So you're saying we need to make them jealous by dating each other?" I asked Anothony making sure I was hearing the right stupid thing. I mean that's the clicheist thing I've ever heard.

"Yup or we need to break them up." He confirmed. I took a small bite of my pistachio ice cream and thought about it.

"I like the second option." I decided, refusing to associate myself with him. I mean the only respected person on the swim team was Percy. I mean look at him! My daydreams are interrupted by my phone's DING. I look at who it was: Tiffany. It said that Percy was walking on First Ave with a girl. And he was coming towards the ice cream shop I was in. When Anthony suggested coming here I was annoyed. What were we in 5th grade? I mean we should've met at a coffee shop but now I was grateful for two reasons.

One was the fact I got to see Percy! And the second was I was most likely about to get dirt on him. I heard the door open and saw him enter with a girl. A girl that was very clearly not Annabeth. To start she had dark hair and her eyes were multicolored instead of boring gray. I suddenly felt a little threatened by the fact she might be dating Percy. I mean I was just as pretty but not any prettier you know? I vaguely remember her coming to pick Percy up a few times and coming to a few swim meets. But almost always she was accompanied by a blonde guy.

A really loud laugh broke me out of my spiral. The source was the girl. Percy and her were having a shoving contest while choosing what to get. They were both laughing like this was the most fun they'd had in years.

Suddenly I realized this was perfect. Anthony could expose Percy and he would get Annabeth. And then Percy would choose me and leave this girl in the dust. I took a quick photo and told Anthony the plan. He nodded in agreement looking happier at the prospect of attaining Annabeth. We also took a video or two to have more proof and left Percy and the girl. Tomorrow was the day. Tomorrow I would have Percy and Anthony would have Annabeth. (I still don't see what's so attractive about her.)

Yup I updated! After so long... So first off for those of you who don't know I'm leaving soon  (For good)  FYI.  Ok second I know this is short. Like really short but I have reason. I wanted to build suspense and I tried to make this as large as possible without it being terrible. So please tell me what you think! Also thanks to bookietheotherartist and bookietheartist for convincing me to update! I'll try to update in a few days! (Also I'm curious how old do you think I am?)
