You and Percy live like "enemies." The teasing is constant, and everyone thinks you truly hate each other. But the truth is different: Percy likes you more than he should—he just never managed to admit it.
The problem? He's dating Annabeth.
She has never liked you. From the first time she saw you two together, her jealousy was obvious. She watches you like you're a threat.
And maybe you are.
Without realizing it, Percy always protects you. No one comes near you with bad intentions when he's around.
You naturally draw attention—not just because of your looks, but because of your light, impossible-to-ignore energy. The kind of person he admires. But thinking you hated him, Percy ended up accepting Annabeth's feelings.
During a practice, you notice Annabeth approaching with a few friends.
"Stay away from my boyfriend. He doesn't want you," she says, firmly.
Before you could make sense of it, she slapped you.
