-Annabeth-

Wait, what? Percy was bi? How very convenient. Just when I start figuring out that I like him, with his cute baby seal face and messy hair and sea green eyes... Oh shut up Annabeth, you're rambling. So what if he was bi? He would never have thought of her that way anyways. Like, they'd just become friends again and...

Then I noticed Jason staring pointedly at me and smirking. Oh hell no. I gave him my signature glare and mouthed, 'Shut up.' To which, Mr Shockingly annoying Grace muttered a "We'll talk later"

Then Thalia cleared her throat, "Well, I gotta go. Hazel said she's gonna help train me apparently."

I saw Percy give Thalia a lopsided smile, "Aww Thalia needs dating advice!"

Thalia smacked him in the face, much to his complaining.

I smiled. These were amazing people. After we stuffed ourselves with nachos and that amazing cheese dip, I saw Jason walk up to me. Oh great.

I glared at him as he casually walked up to me. "So Annabeth..."

"Yes Grace?"

"You have a crush" He said mockingly.

I don't know how red I turned but it was enough for Jason to choke on his coffee.

"How do you humans even drink that ughh?" I asked, wrinkling my nose.

Jason smirked. "Percy hates coffee too."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"I'm rooting for you, Annabeth." Jason said. Then he dramatically tried a twirl, which knocked the table with the nachos and coffee.

I wasn't exactly sure what happened, but involved me giggling like an idiot and Frank's foot getting stuck under the table, now covered in cheese dip. Oh and Percy dragging me to the car.

The way back was pretty silent.

Till I said. "I'll bite. Do you like Nico?"

Percy looked away.

"You do!" I said, almost yelling.

He looked at me through the corner of his eye. "I do, but you can't tell him. He likes that guy Will Solace."

"But you said you were happy about that." I asked frowning.

He sighed. "I tried to be. Nico does look really happy. I tried to, I dunno, smirk like everyone else does and ship it and all but..."

"Aww Percy..." I said, feeling really bad for him.

"Well I'm rooting for Pernico then." I declared.

He raised his eyebrow. "Pernico?" He said, looking amused.

I scowled. "Trying to help here, Seaweed Brain..." I muttered.

"Thanks Wise Girl."

"So you wanna come over for dinner? Mum's making hot dogs. And we're trying to convert the blue cookies into a blue cookie milkshake."

"Uhh, not today Percy. I uhm- I have to- uh go somewhere."

"Yeah that's okay. Maybe later."

Wow. That had been harder than I expected. Lying usually came pretty easily to me. But no one literally no one here, could find out I was Theana. And I had a concert tonight.

I quickly grabbed my sunglasses, and the wig and called a taxi to take me to the show. It went fine, as usual, I guess. When I got home, it must've been like, 1 am.

I was turning the door knob when I felt a rough hand on me. I didn't even bother turning around, I just fled. I could hear the man yelling behind me, in a cold, raspy voice. "Give me the Fisher!"

By the time I reached, I was panting, even though it wasn't too far away. That's when Percy walked out, holding a trash can.

"Oh- uh hey Percy." I said.

He frowned. "What happened?"

"I dunno, just met a creepy dude, I guess." I said, trying to put it casually.

I could see his eyebrows furrow in concern. "You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said, though I was shaking.

Percy came to give me a hug. Immediately, I felt better- safer.

"Why do you have glitter on your face?" He asked.

"Told you, I had to go out."

"Right. Well, I'd better take out the trash now, Mom's orders."

I smiled. "Night Seaweed Brain."

"Hey Annabeth?" He called back.

"Yeah?"

"In your bag, there's something blue. Is it cookies?" He asked hopefully.

I mentally facepalmed. "Nope. Now seriously go take the trash out. You stink." I said, mocking him.

He just made a pouty face and ran away.

"Oh Seaweed Brain..." I muttered.
