"Hey! Annabeth! Wait up!" called Percy. Annabeth's best friend in the whole world. Annabeth slowed until Percy caught up with her.

"Did you study for the Science test?" Annabeth said worriedly

"Umm… well I did but only for 3 hours because then the football game was on…" Percy replied "didn't you?"

"Yes but only for TWO hours because I had to go watch Luke at hockey practice!"

"Seriously Annabeth!" Percy said shocked "You only studied two hours because you had to watch Luke! That guy is a jerk and never even talks to you! Oh my goodness you are so going to fail!"

Annabeth smiled. That was the funny thing about Percy, Annabeth thought. He never says anything that's considered "bad" language, and he thinks that you MUST study at least 3 hours every night before a test. But then again he does get 90's and everything……

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" Annabeth squeaked wildly

"OH don't be worried I'm sure you'll get at least a 75 even if that's not honors you'll survive."

"NOOO! Not that! Luke's coming this way! Laugh like I said something funny!"

"What no way-ugh" Said Percy as Annabeth elbowed him in the stomach.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh Anna you're so funny ha ha ha" Percy said rubbing his stomach.

Annabeth glowered. Percy knew how much she loathed being called anything other than Annabeth. One time the Principle called her Anna instead of Annabeth while she was accepting an award, and just like that everyone started calling her Anna. So she snuck into the Principals office while he was sleeping and shaved off his eyebrow. Just one eyebrow. But she didn't even get in trouble because everyone loves her.

Annabeth was still giving Percy the death glare by the time Luke walked up to them (sometimes Percy died about 5 times a day)

"Hey Annabeth..." Luke said with a cool boy grin on his face

"H-h-h-h-h-hiiii L -l-Luke"

"Hem hem. " Percy faked coughed to get their attention

"Throat lozenge?" Luke said only half paying attention to Percy, while offering Percy a lozenge.

"NO, thanks I'm fine. So Luke you doing anything on Friday?" asked Percy

"Um no why?" replied Luke a little confused; it never occurred to him that Percy might be gay "are you gay?"

"WHAT NOO!" Percy almost screamed "I was just asking because Annabeth isn't doing anything on Friday either she was going to go bowling with me but I canceled." Percy explained

"You canceled?" Annabeth said confused

Percy gave Annabeth a meaningful look.

"OOOH right you canceled I remember…" Annabeth said nodding, and then winked at Percy.

Percy did a face palm, all this time he thought Annabeth was so smart.

Luke looked at them from side to side. Just then Luke's friend Thalia showed up skipping down the hall.

"Sorry guys" She said in a way that didn't sound sorry at all. "Luke's already taking me to an amusement park on Friday" Just then she looped her arm around Luke's and they walked to class.

Percy turned to tell Annabeth sorry honey, but no cigar when he saw how disappointed she looked. He really didn't like Luke at all but if he made Annabeth that happy then he would try and help her… Even if Percy was in love with Annabeth he would do anything to make her happy.

Annabeth stared as she watched Luke walk arm, in arm together down the hall, disappointment bubbling as they did so. She turned to Percy and stopped he was looking at her funny, kind of like he wanted to say something but knew he couldn't. She told Percy quickly that if they don't leave for class now they would get detention. They walked down the hall to homeroom.
