A million thoughts race through my mind as 'Tangled' plays in the background, I can't even pay attention to the damn movie.

The third movie I've tried to watch.

He completely friendzoned me. He was meant to confess, and after that we would walk away a happy couple.

But noooooooooo, the fairytale ending had to be destroyed. Call me cliché but I really thought something was going to happen.

I guess not...

I finally let out a groan and pause the movie, getting up and leaving the cabin. I'm greeted with sad glances coming from Piper, Annabeth and Solangelo.

"We were going to knock," Annabeth says.

"Why aren't you crying? The guy you like completely shoved your affection back in your face," Nico asks quizzically.

"I'm fine," I laugh softly. "It's better he tell me this now than later. He's just another frog on the pile, I'm just waiting for a prince."

"Why wait Bella?" Piper smirks deviously.

"I see where this is going," Will grins.

"You're right, Pipes. Why wait?" I smile and walk off to get lunch from the pavilion.

~~~

I sigh as I sit at my table and eat my lunch, slightly irritated.

"What rattled your cage," Percy mutters whilst prodding at his blue food.

"I just...can't spot anyone to be my new interest," I say, looking at my food.

I swear a look of panic flashes across Percy's face.

He glances over my shoulder and frowns,

"I have to go and talk to someone," he says before he disappears into the sea of demigods.

"Wait Perc-" I stand up to follow him and end up walking straight into someone's chest, I ignore the fact that he came from exactly the same direction as Percy.

Please be a boy, please be a boy.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay?" A very masculine and British, voice says.

I didn't even realise there were more of the English around here.

Well this should be interesting...

Luke POV (DAMN IZZY BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE DIFFERENT POV'S)

"You introduced her to her male counter part," I roll my eyes at Percy.

"I actually didn't introduce them, I pushed him. Much more 'start of an epic love story', pretty sure she'd love that," he grins.

"And what if she actually, completely falls for him," I frown unhappily.

"Then you let her, if you really cared about her, you'd let her go," Percy replies darkly.

Remind me never to get on his bad side again.

"But this whole plan was to lead her back to me," I mumble and glance over to Bella and her male twin.

Her laughter echoes through the pavilion, and it infuriates me.

Not that I don't like her laugh or anything...but when it's cause is someone else, no.

I really really like her, don't get me started on what I said to her. My brain wasn't working right.

But I still stupidly decide to bother her and her new friend, what am I thinking?

"Who's this?" I raise an eyebrow at her, she raises hers in response.

"This, Luke is Xander. Xand this is Luke, my friend," I can see the smirk on her face, even when she's trying to be subtle.

Well at least I know she isn't upset, just holding an intense grudge.

"We met at school like 2 years ago, but I got expelled. Child of Hermes what can I say?" The boy grins devilishly.

Not only is he a male Bella, he's my brother.

"Isn't that just great!" I say sarcastically, making Bella frown.

"We were just going to get to sword practice, so...bye," Bella waves awkwardly and drags Xander away.

Their arms were linked! Isn't that like a relationship thing?!

We now switch back to Bella

"I'm guessing you have a history with that guy then?" Xander smirks as he plays around with the selection of swords.

Of course I'm terrified for his life right now, he's a child of Hermes playing with sharp objects. Xander is even worse than the Stolls, just because he has a pretty face doesn't mean his reputation is the same.

The boy is a flirt and a trickster, maybe that's the reason he appeals so much to to population of females. They do love a bad boy.

"History implies it's in the past, and it doesn't feel that way," I say sharply whilst slashing around my sword.

"I'm sure it's something that can be gotten over, with a little help," Xander winks and slides his arm around my shoulders.

I told you.

"If you weren't you, I'd probably allow this to happen. When I physically bumped into you, I was hoping to move on from Luke. But that can't occur now, can it?" I pick his arm from my body and throw it back to his side. As much as I'd like to, I can't.

After all, I've already been there and it didn't work out at all.

But that is a totally different story, duh.

Hello everyone, tis I. The author.

When thinking of Xander I was kind of imagining the looks of Thomas Brodie Sangster BECAUSE MMMHMM HONEY.

That was relatively creepy but come on.
