Annabeth's POV

I sit up in bed with the covers pulled over my head holding my flashlight on my shoulder and book in front of me. I hear a knock on my door and before I can turn off my flashlight my dad walks in.

"Aww Annie! Come on! Go to bed already! It's almost midnight! You need some rest for the last week of school tomorrow. We don't want to fall asleep during architecture now do we?" he says giving me a funny look. I giggle and put my stuff on my bedside table. He always knows exactly what to say.

"Fine. I just want to get ahead a lesson thats all." I say innocently. I pull the covers up to my chest and turn on my side facing the door where my dad stands. He comes over and brushes the hair over my face and kisses my forehead.

"Goodnight pumpkin." he whispers.

"Night dad." I say. He smiles and walks out cracking the door behind him. I try to go to sleep but I just can't. I'm too excited. I am going to Camp Half-Blood in less than a week! I can't wait to see Grover and Chiron and my brothers and sisters and Luke...Oh I really can't wait to see Luke... I love how his hair falls over his forehead and how he is the best looking guy since he has been there the longest and has had more experience in sword and combat fighting than anyone-even me. Eventually I fall asleep dreaming a sweet dream about him when I am rudely interrupted by my sounding alarm clock.-.- But I get up and start my usual routine: get up, take a shower, brush my teeth, dry my hair and put it in a pony tail, and eat breakfast. Then I go out and wait for the bus.

"Hey ugly!" said a voice. It was my least favorite person ever: Drew. UUggghhhh!

"What do you want Drew?" I ask rolling my eyes.

"I want you to back off Luke. Got it? 'Cause he's mine." she said chewing her gum and twisting her hair.

"Who said that?" I ask.

"Me. That's who." she said.

"Oh ok I just thought that was his decision of who he spends all eternity in the Underworld with..." I said smartly.

"Just stay out of my way loser." she said as the bus pulled up. She gets on and sits with her friends talking about makeup and crap, while me on the other hand sit with my new brother who was claimed this winter break at camp, telling him all about achitecture and we discussed what kind of owl we would have and stuff. Finally the bus pulls up and we get off and go to our lockers. When I get to first period I find out by one of my friends from camp that there's going to be a new boy.

"Cool whats his name? Or does anyone know yet?" I ask curiously.

"Perseus Jackson. I don't think he goes here or not... but if he's cute make sure you get to him before Drew!" she warned.

"Hah! Don't worry she can have him! I'm all for Luke thank you very much." I say sitting back in my chair crossing my arms. When the last bell of the day rings we all go to the 8th grade hall to our lockers and get our stuff then finally leave.

But when I get home there is a shocking surprise waiting for me...
