You’d always been pushed aside. The second option. But you couldn’t stop yourself from loving Percy. He was stubborn as a mule, telling you off and how you needed to move on. how he didn’t love you. your heart burned. But you were love sick for him.

You watched as he kept his eye on Annabeth. Gods why couldn’t you be her? Why couldn’t he see that you were right here?

The air was sweet and lingered of fresh soil. You got your pants dirty from the ground as you volunteered to pick strawberries with the Demeter cabin. You saw as Percy glared daggers at you, and it hurt. As you filled your basket with ripe strawberries you heard as footsteps were planted near you. You turned and raised your gaze to Percy. “Why can’t you leave me alone.” He said in a frustrated/ Tuff voice as his eyebrows furrowed.

he thought you volunteered for him.
