The Chosen One (Earth 7)

XLVIII) "Oh, Come On, I'm Way Hotter Than Him."

I looked over at the twins and the girls who were still sitting on a towel that was layed out. In the distance, I saw Draco watching Rachel like a creep.

Being the good friend I am, I decided to get back on shore.

I chuckled as I got out, "Eyes up here, girls. Actually, I don't mind, it boosts my ego."

"Please don't boost his ego, it's already too big." Matthew muttered.

Annabeth rolled her eyes, "Like anyone would spare you a second glance."

"Hmm, I'm pretty sure you just did." I smirked at her.

I flopped onto the towel, "What're you guys talking about?" I asked.

Matthew pointed over at an older looking boy, "They've been gawking at Cedric for the past 10 minutes."

I raised an eyebrow at them, "Do I have competition?"

"You stood no chance." Annabeth said.

"Oh, come on, I'm way hotter than him."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." She said.

I pouted before getting back up, I grabbed a towel from Rachel's bag and tossed it to her, "If you're not gonna get in the water cover up, Draco's watching you."

They all turned towards Draco and his pose.

Rachel shrugged, "Don't like that I'm on display?" She asked innocently.

"Just cover up."

"That's not a no."

I ran off back to the water towards the boys.

"Honestly, what do you eat?" Magnus asked.

"Food." I shrugged.

I was slightly unsettled that Annabeth had her eyes on other guys but I tried to shrug it off.

Though, my gaze kept drifting off to her but she wasn't looking at me.

"You like Rachel?" Magnus asked.

"What? Why would you ask that?"

He shrugged, "Just curious."

"I guess.. she's pretty but.." I shrugged, "Don't know."

He narrowed his eyes at me, watching me carefully.

Harry and Ron were having a water fight a good distance away from us.

"Well, knowing her, she'll probably make a move soon enough."

I looked at him confused, "What makes you think she likes me?"

He laughed, then turned to me confused, "Are you kidding?"

"What?"

He sighed, "Nevermind."

After 20 more minutes, I decided that hanging out with the guys was too boring so I walked back to shore.

"Rachel, let's go."

"Why?" She groaned, "I'm comfortable."

"Come on, you came to the pool to swim."

"I don't want to swim."

"Don't make me carry you."

She narrowed her eyes at me, "You wouldn't."

"Don't tempt me."

She pursed her lips, sighing, "Fine."

I held out a hand for her and helped her up.

"Now, please don't be mad at me."
