PJO I NOT MINE it's Rick Riordan's

BTW people if the story is kinda crappy just know that this was done by a 13 year old in the middle of her quarterly exams.

so cringe warning_^-^

Anthony decided that his plan was -not- foolproof. His first plan was to simply walk up to her and ask her out, but obviously that plan had craters filled to the brim with things that could possibly go wrong. He could ruin a friendship that took years to develop. He even asked advice from Silena Beauregard of all people! But she heard the plan she just simply shoved him out of her cabin telling him to go for it. So he decided that she was the love expert, and took her advice to go through his original plan and just simply ask her out. On the way to his cabin he started to wonder, If she didn't like him the same way then it would be pretty awkward between them, he speculated, hopefully though she returned his feelings.

Well now though he had cabins to inspect with a certain daughter of Poseidon.

Certainly how he never saw that plan 1 was going to be a bust was kinda sad. Obviously something just had to happen on that exact moment.

They had just finished cabin inspection and he had invited her to sit by the lake to catch up. You know, since the battle of the labyrinth, he never got to talk to her that much and camp was almost over.

Now they were currently lounging on the soft grass near the lake Andromeda's elbows were plopped up on her knees, sitting cross legged facing the lake.

Anthony was beside her lying stomach- up in comfortable silence. Millions of thoughts were running through his head at that very moment.

That's when he decided that it was time for her to know how he feels about her. Gathering courage and taking in a deep breath, He broke the silence and started speaking, "Hey Andy," she then hummed as a response, "how long have we known each other already for?"

She seemed to think about it for a moment. For a split- second her face was all scrunched up cutely and he fought this long lasting urge to kiss her. "About 2- 3 years?" she suddenly said, "now that i think about it, that's a long time- huh" she finished with a small smile on her face.

He smiled, "Yeah, i can't believe that it's been this long since I was shoving ambrosia into the mouth of a girl who collapsed on the big- house's front porch, and was just so happening to be dragging Grover along with her." he laughed and sat up.

She let out a small chuckle and smile, "well it was relatively new to me, you can't blame me for panicking when a random blond kid was pelting me with questions the minute i woke up from what i thought was a horrible nightmare." her face turned serious and a bit sad," well it was complicated back then,- and well it still is now" she sighed and turned to the sunset."prophecies, ya know, Titans that want to take over the world, Life changing decisions, soul reaping , the works." She shrugged turning to look at him.

He blushed and looked away when her gaze met his. "you're awfully quiet now Tony," she wondered out loud.

" I was just thinking" he replied. "ha-ha" she laughed, "All that thinking will one day make your brain explode, wise guy."

He couldn't help but laugh and roll his eyes at her comment. They sat in another round of peaceful silence for a few minutes, just two friends hanging out, watching the sunset.

"I was thinking, ever since Mt St Helens, I realized that i had to tell you something," he began, looking at her hesitantly. She motioned for him to continue speaking. "I thought about this for a while and I wanted to get this off my chest." He looked at her again staring into her deep sea- green eyes that at that moment, he seemed to get lost in. "I want you to know that, if this- this thing that i'm about to tell you doesn't work out, i hope that we could still be friends." She frowned for a moment then said, "Of course we'll be friends silly! you'll always be my best friend, no matter what!" He tried to not let those- two words affect him too much. Suddenly all the doubts began to swarm back into his brain, all the things that could possibly go wrong were playing in his mind. He shook his head subconsciously and focused on the task at hand.

There was no chickening out of this now, he was going to do it, he would tell her that he liked her, as more than a friend and ask her to go on a date sometime.

She looked at him expectantly, "Well are we going to hear it, or are you going to leave me hanging?" she put on that playful smirk of hers while she waited for him to answer. He then realized, whatever he did in the next few minutes will affect his very life. there were only two possible outcomes of this confession. Either it goes down the drain, and they would be awkward to the end of time or she would accept his feelings and they could live happily ever after for a few weeks. Though he certainly hoped it was the latter, as smart as Athena's genes made him, he wasn't that smart to be able to calculate the probability that she would say YES to him.

He sighed, he had to go for it " Ever since Mt St Helens blew up, i was thinking" He paused a bit." Andy I really- really Lik-"

a loud crash was heard just a few meters away from where they sat.

And there in a mini- self created crater sat Travis Stoll, groaning, he stood up and stretched his back a bit.

he then looked around and saw Anthony and Andy just sitting there, mind you really close, gaping at him as if they were fish out of water. He turned to then almost lazily- and said. "hey Chase, Jackson,- just the two people i needed." he walked over to them, helping them stand up he said, "hope you two weren't making out, i would hate to miss it" he smirked, " Oh shut Up, Travis" Andy said hitting him on the arm. Anthony was pretty sure that he was bright red, from the bottom of his neck to the tips of his ears. He dusted himself off while Travis told them that, Chiron was planning something and every cabin counselor had to be there. Huh- at least he was saved from a particularly embarrassing moment that would have happened if he told her that he liked her.

Luckily though after the meeting, Andy seemed to have forgotten his almost- confession that almost happened.

Well he would have to look for another chance to confess to her his innermost feelings. But today was just not the day

Attempt number 1- huge flop
