Dynamics change when you start having sex with a frienemy.

Notes:

Behind the scenes: In my version, Thalia is probably my favorite character after the duo. There is something about writing her that makes my heart warm. Her crude words make for funny dialogue dynamics.

Chapter Text

"Maisie is going to ask Percy out soon" Hazel announced to the group of girls that had gathered around Annabeth's locker after their third period on Tuesday. Piper, Clarisse, Rachel and Thalia were all looking back at the curly brunette in awe.

"What?" Rachel's voice cracked. "How do you know?" The redhead couldn't believe her ears. Although the brunette's interest for the guy had always been clear for Annabeth, it seemed her friend hadn't noticed.

"That bitch" Thalia's arms were about to break something. Clarisse clenched them to her back before she could do any harm.

"Hey! We shouldn't call her that just 'cause she likes the same boy as Rach" Piper lectured looking all too concerned over the redhead's reaction.

"Yeah yeah..." Thalia calmed down and recovered her arms from the bulky grip of her friend. "Anyway, I don't think she is Percy's type" Thalia muttered under her breath.

"What would you know about Percy's type?" Annabeth asked the brash girl now fully interested in the conversation. The boys had left them for Gods know where, in other words, it was the perfect time to talk about them. With a crease in her brow, she remembered how Percy had left her this morning before school. Before she parked, he had busted in her passenger seat and stole a kiss from her. His mouth had tasted of blueberries. They hadn't had time to see each other after the party, only memes and texts had kept them company.

"He is one of my best friends, duh!" Thalia answered in her usual cranky tone. "He didn't say anything about Maisie" Thalia added looking over to Annabeth's direction. Had Percy said anything about her? The blonde wondered. She didn't think so. "He usually tells me when he likes someone or not." The raven head nodded off. The girl group all goggled at the new revelation, their jaws hitting the ground.

"Why are we only learning about this now?" Piper killed the silence.

"Because it's not my secret to share." Thalia nonchalantly shrugged off. Rachel's frame twitched and moved to face the brash girl.

"So, who is he interested in?" Rachel opened pleading with her puppy green eyes. Her whole body screamed for the truth. Her friends were hanging on the tight rope of knowledge. Annabeth herself couldn't help but wish Thalia would share. Her eyes kept wandering to the crowd, searching for him. Hoping, he would tell her himself.

"Sorry can't say, but it sure isn't Maisie" Thalia almost laughed and left to find her lab partner in Chemistry, Joey. Piper looked over at Rachel defeated features.

"Maybe she didn't want to tell you not to jinx it" Piper explained to Rachel. The redhead's eyes were watery, her mouth was slightly shaking. Her friend was devastated. Annabeth knew the real problem didn't lie with Thalia's non-confession but with the non-reciprocity of Percy's feelings towards the redhead. How she wished to end her friend's torture, bare the naked truth, and finally release the unsaid and the countless lies told.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm sure he'll say no, plus we don't even know if he is interested in someone right now" Annabeth approached to hold her friend tight.

Before she could reach her, Rachel retrieved to her own arms and countered filled with rage: "How would you know? You hate him".
