Annabeth POV

It has been two months since I met Luke again. Two months since Jiper happened.Two months since I stopped doubting Peter and three months since I moved to NYC. Sometimes I miss my life back in San Francisco but in all honesty, it was nothing compared to my life here in New York. Sure, I had friends there, but I wasn't as close to them as my two best friends Thalia and Luke who had left me. I was having a rocky relationship with my family, I was still not over my mom's loss, I wasn't ready to forgive my stepmom, in short, my life was not going great. It had taken me a lot of time to heal and when I was ready to go back to living a normal teenage life without any drama, I was told that we were leaving. I felt guilty about leaving my friends some lame letters. But as it turns out, Austin and Kayla(AKA my friends) already knew about me leaving because my oh so lovely stepbrothers told them and they were just waiting for my confirmation. They were angry at me for not saying bye in person, but they understood. I am glad we are still in touch though.    

  I was quite pissed when I was told that we were moving but at that time  I wasn't aware that I would meet Thalia and Luke again or that I would make friends like Hazel, Piper, Leo, Reyna, and Peter. 

Well, whenever I am around Peter nowadays I-I.

I have started to feel something different, something which I am not able to make out. Yes, you heard it right, Annabeth Chase is not able to make out something. I consider him my best friend, someone whom I can confide in, someone whom I know I can trust with my life. This is not what's different though, nowadays whenever I am around him, I feel like the world stops, and then the only people alive are just me and him. Whenever I see him grin, I can't help but grin back. Whenever I hug him or give him a friendly peck on the cheek, I feel the electricity radiating out of me, as if I have been hit with Zeus' lightning bolt, my stomach starts doing jumping jacks and my face goes a deep shade of red. It is almost as if I am in 

'Ring-ring-ring' My phone rang

Frustrated, I checked the called id.

"Luke."I thought

We have been hanging out a lot since he moved here. Now that I think about it, something about how I feel about Luke has changed as well. I liked him for as long as I can remember but he never showed that he felt the same way. Whenever I am around him now I don't feel attracted to him, as a matter of fact, I don't think I ever have. I could be feeling this way because I have lost hope of course or it could-

'Ring-Ring'

I picked it up

'Hey, Annie.'

'Hi, Luke.' I replied

'What are you doing?' He asked

'I was about to start doing my homework,' I replied.

'You study way too much.'

'And you study way too less.'

' I was wondering are you down to meet at Starbucks?' He asked

'Sure, who else is coming?' I asked assuming Thalia would be invited too

' No one, I kinda wanted it to be just you and me.' He nervously said

What? Did he ask what I think he asked? I need to be sure.

'What?' I asked dumbfounded 

' I was saying it would be just you and me.' He reiterated

'Like a date?' I questioned
