Okay so this my new story and I hope you enjoy! This was beta read by Annabeth's Owl!

~Conner POV

I was fed up with everyone's perfect love life! Everyone but me. I just don't get it. I'm the entire package. I have the looks, the personality, and my amazing charm. Apparently all the girls are just too blind to see it.

So here I am now playing bowling by myself, because I'm a lonely, pathetic loser who can't get a spare! I was bored out of mind. My brother was busy hanging out with his girlfriend, Katie Gardner. My best friend Erik, son of Apollo, was rehearsing for a musical performance he was doing for school.

Normally my brother and I would be pulling a prank on the Demeter cabin but that stopped when he started dating her.

Back to the presence, I was about to roll my ball when something hit my foot really hard. I fell face first, dropped my ball, and it landed on my hand. Let me tell you it hurt like Hades. I yelped in pain. I'm guessing it sounded something like, "Oww…eep…oow!" But that's just my guess.

A girl came to me and said, "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" She offered her hand to help me up. I took it hesitantly. She heaved me up and I grabbed my foot with the hand that didn't get a bowling ball landed on it.

"It's fine," I answered in a pain filled voice. She helped me hop over to a seat.

"Hi, I'm Jessalyn Moon," she beamed. I looked at her for the first time. She had straight black hair that went a little past her shoulders, her eyes were a vivid blue, and she was fair skinned.

"Nice to meet you, I am Conner Stoll." I smiled proudly at my name. I stared at her blue eyes for a second before looking the other way. "So what are you here doing bowling alone?" I asked her trying to start a conversation.

"I could ask you the same thing." She placed her hands on her hips and looked down at me since she was standing up. "But since you asked first I'll tell you. I was supposed to come here with my friend, Alexa, but she bailed on me for her so perfect boyfriend," she stated clearly annoyed.

"I know the feeling. My brother, Travis, is always hanging out with his girlfriend, and never has time to pull pranks with me anymore," I said matching her annoyance. The pain in my foot and hand subsided.

Jessalyn sat down next to me. "We could bowl together. I know we just met but you seem very nice," she offered. I smiled at her. She wasn't like other girls. I know I don't know much about her but I knew enough to know that.

"Sure, I would like that." I stood up without hesitation. I went to the console in the middle. I selected new game and punched in J-E-S-S-A-L-Y-N and C-O-N-N-E-R. "Ladies first." I smirked. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the ball that almost killed me. (Total exaggeration.)

She swung her arm back then forward and released the ball. It was about to hit one pin on the side but at the last minute rolled into the gutter. She pouted then grabbed the ball once it came out of the ball retriever. (A/N I think that's what it's called) She did the same thing and ended up knocking over four pins.

I laughed at her failure. She glared at me. "Like you can do any better." She crossed her arms over her chest and scrunched up her nose in frustration. She was kind of cute actually. Don't think like that, you just met the girl, I mentally scolded myself.

I shook my head and grabbed a ball. I took a deep breath and tossed the ball down the lane. It hit six pins. I smiled proudly. "You were saying?" I asked Jessalyn.

"Whatever, you're a boy and just got lucky." She punched my shoulder playfully. I picked up the ball again and this time hit no pins. I pretended to pout.

Jessalyn laughed. She picked up a ball again and this time got a strike. She stood up tall and proud and let me pick up another ball. We went on like this for about an hour until the game was finally over.

Our final scores were 173; mine and 178; Jessalyn's. "I win," she beamed, proudly. I rolled my eyes.

"By five points!" I stated. "You want to go get something to eat?" I asked, hopefully.

She smiled. "Sure."

When we got to Pizza Hut–I know not the fanciest restaurant but it's not like we were on a date–I ordered a medium cheese and a medium pepperoni. We sat down at a booth and I immediately said, "How about we get to know each other."

"Yeah, okay what do you want to know?" she asked with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Where do you go to school?" I didn't know what else to ask.

"Goode High School," she said matter-of-factly.

"Really? Maybe you know my friend, Percy Jackson." I would be surprised if she didn't because he knew how to get himself noticed at school whether he was trying to or not.

"Yeah, he burned down the music room on the first day of school." She laughed quietly to herself.

I nodded.

"How do you know him?" Jessalyn asked, curiosity filling her voice.

"We go to summer camp together," I said a little too quickly. She looked at me suspiciously but decided to believe it. It wasn't a lie but it wasn't the whole truth either.

"Where do you go to school," she repeated my question.

I thought for a second because I didn't go to school. I was a year rounder at Camp Half~Blood. "I'm home schooled," I finally said. She looked at me weird because I hesitated.

"Okay, I'll choose to believe that. How old are you?"

"Good question, I'm 16. You?" I couldn't help but get lost in her eyes. They were like blue crystals.

She waved her hand in front. "I'm sorry what?" I hadn't realized I'd zoned out.

Jessalyn rolled her eyes then answered, "I just turned 16." I nodded.

I didn't notice our hands slightly inching towards each other until our hands actually touched. I felt heat rush to my face but neither of us pulled back.

"Hey, you wanna help me T.P. someone's house," I asked with a devious glint in my eye. She smiled evilly.

"Sure." She rested her chin on her hand. Just then a guy came up and set our pizzas on the table. He winked at Jessalyn then walked away. I couldn't help but glare at him as he walked away.

I picked up a slice of pepperoni and took a bite. "You like it, Jess?" I smiled when I called her Jess. She nodded while swallowing a bite of pizza. We'd both retrieved our hands back by our sides. "So," I said breaking the silence. "Tell me about your family, relationships." I don't know why I was interested in her love life.

Her expression saddened.

"I'm sorry, it's none of my business." I looked down at my lap.

"No, it's okay. My family well, my dad is never around. His job keeps him traveling a lot. He's in the Navy but when he is home he's always hanging out with his friends. My mom died when I was six. So my only real guardian is my brother. He's 25 and he's always there for me." I saw little tears in her eyes.

"I know what you mean. I've only met my dad a couple times and my mom hates me. I have a private tutor who home schools me." I hope she couldn't tell I was lying about that last part. "My brother is my only family that's ever around. He's almost 17."

She nodded. "My relationships. I've never had a boyfriend." She laughed.

"And I've never had a girlfriend. We have a lot in common. What do you do for fun?" I asked, interested.

"I like hanging out with my friends. Mostly, making them embarrass themselves." We laughed. Jessalyn was my new best girl bud.

"I like to prank everyone I know," I said matter-of-factly. She smiled at me.

After we finished our pizza we walked out, side by side to do Operation T.P. "So, who are we toilet-papering?" Jessalyn inquired. (I just learned that word today.)

"I don't know. Got any enemies?" I laughed.

"Yes I do. The head cheerleader at my school, Kayla." She glared when she said the name.

"Okay I'll go the store and ste al I mean buy some toilet paper." She laughed and we walked to Wal-mart together.
