My best friend is of course the one and only Annabeth Chase. But who doesn't know that? What I hope most don't know is how helplessly in love I am with her. Have been since I met her. We met six or so years ago, I don't know, but it doesn't matter all that much, all that matters is that she's the coolest person I've ever met.

She can like judo flip guys who ask her out. The reason she has such drastic measures is because, well, she's taken, by the golden boy of Goode. Luke Castellan. I hate him. I've seen him with all these girls while he's supposed to be dating Annabeth. I knew before they even started dating that she deserved better. I'm not saying me necessarily, but... I wouldn't treat her like trash the way Luke does.

Which is why when I got to school today, I was more than concerned about her actions. She had been distancing herself a bit for about a week, and of course it hurts. She's my best friend. However, she hasn't canceled our weekly ~hang~. She will be coming over to my house, and we'll do what we always do, kiss. I wish, no, watch a movie, and she'll fall asleep with my arm around her, and then at six I wake her up for dinner, and the cycle repeats itself every week. 

Anyways... I got to school and my sight zeroed in on her. Her hair seemed a little bit messier than usual, but we all have bad hair days. Everyday is a bad hair day for me. I slide an arm over her shoulders when she nearly flips me!

"Whoa! Its just me Annabeth." When it registered that it was just me she seemed to relax into my hold. "You okay?"

"Huh? Oh uh... yeah. Dandy."

"If you say so... you sure? You know you can tell me anything right?"

"Yes Percy I know. I'm fine." She pulled her sleeves down even though they hadn't even risen up.

"Nice sweatshirt." She blushed, she was wearing my swim team hoodie.

"Thanks I stole it from this dipshit I know."

"I bet. Just look at his last name, Jackson, what kind of idiot—?"

"Annabeth." Fuckin Castellan.

"Oh hey babe." She distanced herself from me, and then went to go kiss him 🤮.

"Why aren't you wearing my hoodie? I didn't give it to you so it could keep your closet warm."

"Luke I needed a big sweatshirt..." She seemed to be hinting at something, and Luke just nodded, and scowled as he walked away.

"Everything okay between you guys?"

"Yeah, things have never been better."

"So, whatcha hiding? Hickeys?" I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively, knowing it would make her blush. It didn't...

"Something like that." Ugh, I was hoping she would deny it. Say something like I have this bracelet I'm ashamed of, or I don't know what girls wear, something embarrassing!

"I'll see you by my car so we can grab lunch?"

"I'm actually doing lunch with uhm L-uke." Her voice caught on his name.

"Oh, alright, then, I'll uh see you after school?"

"Yeah, sounds good."

"Alright, up top pip squeak." She rolled her eyes and high-fived me.

"I'm five seven I'll have you know."

"Still shorter than me."

"By five inches!"

"Whatever, see ya."
. . .

"Hey Seaweed Brain." She sounded so sullen, and sad.

"Whats wrong?"
