Nice person

My name is Emma Bloomfield. I am now 21 years old and living the life. I have long curly bright red hair and dark brown eyes. I have, according to my old boyfriends, a cute button nose and deep meaningful eyes. I'm 5''7' and I live in the college dorms. Right now, me and almost all the girls in our dorm are watching the interview on the tv.

It's Percy Jackson, the hottest guy ever, the Olympic swimmer and all around nice guy, apparently he donates some of his time and most of his money to different charities. He is still in college, so he's around our age. He has black 'I just came from the beach' windswept hair and amazing green eyes, like the sea. He is tall and muscled, like he gained them the hard way and like he knows how to use each and every one of them correctly. Man, he's so hot!

Oh, he's getting ready for the interview after some match he just swam.

''So Percy – is it okay that I call you that? – how did you come to swimming?'' Tara, the perky annoying interviewer asked.

''Oh, I have always liked the water. I'm sort of obsessed with it to be honest. I suppose I got that from my father, who got lost at sea just before my birth. He had an affinity with water, which I have too. My mother and I had this tradition, which was the nicest I can remember, of making every food blue, because it reminded her of the time she met my father first, and it reminded me that everything is possible, even blue food. And blue's my favourite colour.'' he chuckled.

The girls all swoon.

''Wow,'' Tara said airily, ''so how was that like, growing up without a father?''

''Well, it wasn't the easiest. I had a rough time, especially with my mom's first husband. He wasn't that good a guy, and made me out to be a criminal when I was abducted when I was 12. He disappeared not to long after that, and mom met a new better man. People always said I had a troubled youth, but that would be because I always had trouble in school, getting blamed for things I didn't do. I always got bullied and I was quite small and scrawny. When I was 12 I went to a special camp, which is where I met my girlfriend. The camp started to help me with training. I got really into shape when I was 16, and all of a sudden all the girls liked me, even though they bullied me the years before. That was quite weird in the beginning, but I got used to it and it didn't bother me that much anymore after a while. My stepfather, the father of my little sister, he really helped me. He helped me keep out of trouble and got me into a good school. He turned everything around.''

Percy smiled wistfully.

''My girlfriend, before she became my girlfriend, was my best friend. She lived with us, and she tutored me in all my classes. She is the smartest person in the world.''

''Why did you want to become a Olympic swimmer, Percy?'' Tara asked.

''Swimming? Oh, that's just a hobby.'' Percy exclaimed. ''I love it a lot, but I want to become a marine biologist, which is what I'm studying for at my college. I live with my girlfriend in an apartment about halfway between both our colleges. And college is going very well, but if I have trouble with anything, I just ask my genius girlfriend for help. Or my stepfather for English, he's great at it.''

Percy smiled at the thought of his girlfriend and his family.

''You want to become a marine biologist?'' Tara asked.

''Yes. I love water, and I love the ocean. I love the sea creatures, and in my free time, I go out to the sea and I rescue hurt animals. I love dolphins and there was once a sweet little sea cow, I called her Bessie, who became attached to me. I got my father, who I found when I was 12 by the way, to get an aquarium for her and to keep her safe. I still visit the little thing occasionally.''

Then the interview was over. But it had been over for a while. After all, it was just an old rerun. The interview was from months ago, but it was still accurate. Only the match had been the real deal. They probably couldn't get another interview with him today or something.

Darn it, he has a girlfriend. And apparently he's really in love with her!

But a girl can dream. Now I, I like to fantasize about one day maybe marrying Percy Jackson, the absolute hottest guy ever my age.

I know that's not realistic, though. I have multiple reasons. One, he's super famous and I'm a nobody compared to him. Two, he has no idea who I am, which is similar to reason one. Three, he has a girlfriend who he's known for years. Like, nine years or so, and they've been dating for five of those. So I know he won't be dating me, but a girl can always dream.

Every girl and even some guys, no matter if they have a boyfriend or not, in our college wants to date him. Everyone except for one.

Annabeth Chase.

I sooo don't like her.

She is beautiful, and she could get any guy she wants, but she turns them all down. Her beauty is formidable. She has curly cascading honey blonde hair and a tan, lean, muscled figure. Her eyes are a startling colour of grey, and they're eye-catching. All the guys at our school are in love with her, or at the very least have a crush on her. Which is infuriating.

The real reason I hate Annabeth Chase is that I have a crush on this guy in the school, his name is Tim Torres. But he likes Annabeth and keeps trying to impress her. He's not some stuck up guy, nor does he try too hard. Adam Fisher however, he wouldn't stop bothering Annabeth. I'm not too concerned about that, though. I'm glad that she gets bothered, 'cause that would keep Tim away from her. No one goes against Adam.

Right now, while all of us girls are watching the rerun of Percy Jackson's latest wins, but Annabeth Chase was sitting in a corner tutoring some idiot boy at maths or something.

She doesn't even stay at the dorms, she lives off campus somewhere, but no one knows where. She never allows anyone to come by, she claims to live with her boyfriend, now fiancé, in an apartment.

She has no friends at campus, but claims to have a lot of friends who come by all the time.

It's not like anyone believes any of that, or they just don't care. To boys, she's the prize. They all want to date her, for it's supposed to be impossible to get her, with the 'fake' fiancé and all.

I believe her about the fiancé, why else would she not sleep with any hot guys? Also, I believe she has a ring…

Right this moment, she's almost done with her tutoring. And the guy left for his room, which is actually in our building. Lucky us.

But right now, Jasmine, the resident dorm bitch, walked up to Annabeth.

''So Annie…''

''Do not call me Annie. That happens not to be my name. It's Annabeth, so if that would be all, I need to go home.'' she said as she stood up.

''Why would you need to go home, Annie?'' Jasmine sneered.

''I need to help my fiancé with his homework, and then we're going out with some friends as a celebration tonight.'' Annabeth said swiftly as she packed her bag.

''And why were you not watching Percy Jackson's interview with us?''

''Well, I was tutoring Quin, and I am not too interested in that interview.'' she said, and I could swear she mumbled something under her breath. *

''Everyone is interested in Percy Jackson. Everyone would give up their right arm to even meet him, and even more to even get to date him!'' Brianna boasted. ''But it's not like he'd date anyone, he has a very serious girlfriend. And if he even would date anyone else, he'd rather date someone like me, 'cause I'm gorgeous and I actually know what a boy wants!''

''Hasn't Percy only had one girlfriend?'' Annabeth asked. And seriously, that's one smart question. But she's the smartest person at the entire college. ''So why would he care about dating experience?''

''Ugh, every boy wants a girl that knows what they're doing in bed, you dumb blonde!'' Jasmine yelled at Annabeth.

And that did it.

No one calls Annabeth Chase a dumb blonde.

She once beat up a guy who called her a dumb blonde, though he also tried to forcefully kiss her, and she broke three of his bones and his nose, and he was bloodied up and extremely bruised. He had to go to the hospital and didn't come out for a while. And that guy, he was one of the football scholarship guys. He nearly lost his scholarship because of it, but when they found out why he had been beaten up, he was kicked out.

''No. one. calls. me. a. dumb. blonde, got that?'' she asked in a deadly calm voice. She was scary.

''What you gonna do about it, blondie?'' Jasmine asked with a big smirk on her face.

I could feel the hatred oozing off of Annabeth, and she punched Jasmine in the jaw, hard. I heard a crack from Jasmine's jaw, and she fell to the ground and howled in pain.

''That's for calling me a dumb blonde. You're lucky I'm in a rush, or you would have been off far worse.'' Annabeth threatened.

Then she stalked off with her bag over her shoulder. She walked right off campus, I watched her go through the window. She just walked off campus and seemed to be going to walk to her home. Where ever that is.

A few days later, she was suddenly dropped off by a beautiful blue car. We couldn't see who the guy was, but he kissed Annabeth before she got out and the car drove off.

So the fiancé is real.

She smiled for the rest of the day, clearly happy about something. I heard one of my friends, Sarah Petri, gossip. She thought that Annabeth and the fiancé had had some really good sex. In my opinion, something else is the reason for her happiness.

After school another car stood at the front gate. Two girls were standing next to it. A younger-looking girl with a pale skin tone, black spiky hair with blue streaks, electric blue eyes, a tiara, black clothes with a silver jacket. The other girl was about our age, who looks native American, but her chocolate coloured hair was choppy and braided with feathers. Her eyes were kaleidoscope and she wore simple clothes. She seemed familiar somehow.

Then Annabeth walked towards them. I was curious, so I decided to listen in.

''Thals, Piper! I'm so happy that you're here!'' Annabeth said as she hugged them. ''You're the best friends I could ever wish for!''

They laughed.

''We missed you too, Annabeth.'' the goth girl said. ''I still remember when you were that scared little seven-year-old Luke and I found hiding behind a dumpster.''

''I would rather you not tell the entire world about how I ran away from home, Grace!'' Annabeth growled.

''Don't call me Grace, Chase!'' the goth girl – Thalia – threatened. ''Or else I'll get McLean here to –''

''Thalia, I told you not to get my last name involved. I have enough of a hard time already without my father involved. You know what it's like, your mom was a famous singer. Well, it's similar with my father. I hate his career, but that's what got my mother's attention and made me possible. So I guess it's not all bad, but it has many more negatives than positives.''

Oh, my, god, that's Piper McLean! How does Annabeth loser Chase know her? I thought to myself.

''Sure. Now let's going, we need to pick up Hazel and Calypso still. It's time for a girls night out.'' Piper said tot Thalia and Annabeth.

''More like going to going to a boxing arena…'' Thalia mumbled.

What the heck?

''And after we are going to our place, Seaweed Brain said he was making his mom's cookies and then the guys are taking care of dinner. I'm guessing that they're taking us to a restaurant or something, only Leo can cook as far as I know.'' Annabeth said thoughtfully.

The tree girls laughed.

''Well, my idiot of a cousin can't keep himself from catching on fire while he is baking, but hopefully he'll still be in the mood for dinner, you know.'' Thalia snickered. ''I still can't believe you agreed to marry that Kelp Head.''

''I've known him since I was 12, and I've been in love with him ever since I've known what love really is. He never believed I was dead when everyone thought I was. He saved me, and years later I returned the favour. He is so cute when he is worried. And then he fell with me into hell. He saved me. He is the only person I will ever love the way I do, and I know he will never love another. He is too –''

''Loyal for his own good!'' Piper and Thalia chorused. Then they burst out laughing. ''We know, you say that all the time, dummy!''

Annabeth laughed kindly at them.

The three of them got into a jeep and drove off.

I don't get her, she has friends that have famous parents, but they don't act like it. They could go and get money from their rich-y-rich parents and go for a shopping spree, but they wouldn't. They may just be crazy.

After that, I just went to my dorm. I studied for a while, and got bored. So I went to the movies nearby. There I saw Annabeth, Thalia, Piper and two other girls. One with mocha skin and frizzy hair, the other with pale skin, almond shaped eyes and caramel coloured hair in a braid. They must be Calypso and Hazel.

''Come on, you guys!'' Annabeth whined. And I've never heard her whine. Never. I've been going to the same college as her for years and she's never done that. ''I wanna go home to Perce.''

''Anna, we are. Right now. You'll see your fiancé in ten minutes when we get back to your place.'' Thalia teased.

Annabeth blushed and then pushed Thalia's shoulder. The five girls continued talking and walking.

I don't get her. Still.

So I went back to my dorm, got food in the cafeteria and sat down at a table. I ate some food and read some texts from my friends and family. After dinner I went back to my dorm, where a few of the girls were still talking about Percy Jackson.

One of them had apparently found out where Percy Jackson's college is. And it's nearby. So they were now all speculating about where Percy's apartment could be. And what college his girlfriend could be going to. Not ours, any girl would have bragged a lot and would have shouted it from the rooftops.

One of them even went as far as looking up all of his friends, but apparently Percy Jackson doesn't have any social media accounts.

So they sat there talking, and I just listened. I didn't really have anything to add to it, but I do want to know what I can about him, he's just so interesting and hot!

A few weeks later, there was a rumour spreading that a guest marine biology major who was extremely active in rescuing animals would be coming. He or she was, according to the rumours, going to lecture on plastic flowing in the oceans.

Sounds like some environmental hippy freak. Just great.

A week later, the rumours were confirmed. Someone our age would come by to advocate right disposal of plastic so it would not end up in the oceans.

Bo-ring.

But a week and a few days later, everyone was gathered in the auditorium. The hippy would be speaking to the entire school. It was a freaking mandatory lecture.

Then the guy walked onto the stage, and fuck, it's Percy Jackson.

All the sluts started twirling their hair and pushing out their chests out. They wanted to grab Percy Jackson's attention.

But Percy just started talking about how we can reduce plastic and how to dispose of it correctly and how to save the oceans and the animals living there. He told us about how we can save animals in different ways. He also told us about the ways he had helped animals before, and that all the things we dispose of improperly may end up in the bodies of the animals that may live in the sea. He talked about a dolphin that swallowed a golf club and that he helped by getting it out.

I didn't pay attention to everything he was saying, but I heard enough. He looked very good while he was so enthusiastic and passionate talking about what he loves.

Every time he smiled at a memory of something he did, all the girls, and I have to admit I also fell victim, swooned. He has an amazing smile, and he was here. They said beforehand that he would not be signing autographs. At the time it seemed weird, but I get it now.

After the lecture, a lot of girls tried to get close to them, but he just sneaked off. He went to a car off campus and then waited.

Wait, he's waiting? For who is he waiting?

Then Annabeth walked in that direction, and I saw her get into the car Percy was in.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, she knows him? Why didn't she ever say anything? She would immediately be the most popular girl in the entire college? She knows freaking Percy Jackson, I'd kill to know him!

Then I saw them kiss.

Well, that explains it. She doesn't want people to try and break them up. She doesn't want girls to try and be friends with her so they'd get close to Percy. And she seems to have a good group of friends already, people she trusts.

I will never get her. If I knew Percy Jackson, I'd let everyone know to make myself more popular and more well-liked by boys. But I guess I'm not her, and she must have some kind of reasoning.

But being engaged to Percy Jackson, that's the one thing no one else can brag about, and she doesn't. So that makes her a really good person.

And I don't think I could do that.

AN: Yes, another fic. Sorry for the wait, but it's too hot to concentrate on anything, much less writing or being creative in any way. Sorry, I just can't handle the heat. 30 degrees Celsius is too hot and I can't do anything but be tired and sweaty. And I hate being tired and sweaty.

I wrote this fic about a year ago, so it isn't all that great in my opinion. But I don't care, because at least it's something.

* Annabeth mumbled: ''I know all of that already, I have him at home and I was there.''
