So this is the first chapter. Enjoy!

Percy

"Percy, I don't have time for you. How many times should I repeat that? I'm busy on the Apollo statues. So-".

Annabeth was cut off by Percy, "You have told that to me a million times this week. 'I can't hang out with you. Ares asked me to do this, and Zeus asked me to do that", he said angrily, mimicking her voice. Annabeth looked at him with no particular emotion in her eyes. She sighed and looked back at her blueprints, then frowned.

"Percy", she said tightly. "Where is my pencil?". Percy Jackson's eyes widened. Gods. "Annabeth", he replied using the same tone. "I just came in five minutes ago. And I've been standing at the doorway since then. So you can't blame me fo-". "Get out!", Annabeth shouted. "You're a nuisance. A pain in the-!".

She hadn't even finished her sentance before Percy stormed out, slamming the cabin door shut.

Someone nudged Percy during his dream-less sleep. "Pshh. Wake up, Seaweed Brain", a voice said. His first thought, Annabeth!. He opened his eyes immediately to find... Leo grinning at him.

Percy groaned. "So the Annabeth charm does work", Leo said. Percy rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and focused on the other figures standing in his cabin. Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel and Nico. "Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday. You smell like cow poo, and look like one too", they chanted. He glared at them, before laughing.

A thought jarred him up. "Where's Annabeth?" He asked to no one in particular. His friends lowered their heads in harmony. "She didn't come, Percy", Jason murmured. His stomach flipped. Annabeth hadn't... Come. On his birthday. Why? Suddenly, something took over him.

"Oh, she would be busy with her work. Oh, that poor, poor girl", he drawled and ended with a dramatic sigh. Frank raised and eyebrow uncertainly. "Percy, what do you mean....?", he trailed off. Percy gave a big, booming laugh and everyone stumbled back in surprise. "You see, friends, my girlfriend has been quiet busy making statues and stuff for the Olympians. So she's ignoring me. I'm really, really sorry for not telling you that",he added sarcasticaly. Something heavy settled on his heart. He lowered his head and fought back a sob.

She hadn't come.

"Percy, where are my blueprints?"

"I. Don't. Have. Them!"

"You're a liar".

"I swear I don-"

"You're a liar and a thief!"

"For Zeus' sake, I... I just came in"

"Get out"

"Annabeth... I understand tha-"

"You don't understand anything! Now, get out, you thief"

"As I was saying, I know that you're very busy. But how about you take a break? Just for about ten minutes, okay?"

"No!"

"CAN YOU STOP THIS BEHAVIOUR? IGNORING ME FOR TWO WEEKS AND... AND NOT EVEN COMING TO SAY A 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'! I NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM YOU!".

Thud!

*********
Percy felt horrible. He shouldn't have shouted at her and then storm out.

He sat on Zues' Fist. The heavy rain and thunder seemed to reflect his mood. Annabeth was probably never going to talk to him again. He had just made matters worse. He gave an annoyed yell and ran a hand through his wet hair, frustrated with himself. He cursed again and again, in Ancient Greek and the modern English ones. Gods... This situation was even more horrible than Tartarus, and that was saying a lot.
