A/N: Hey, hey guys! So this is some idea that just came to me while I was rereading Perks of Being a Wallflower. And we love a little Percabeth something so- um, enjoy! By the way, this is an AU so they're not demigods.

Chapter 1

Sally Jackson tapped her phone furiously. Her husband, Paul Blofis was looking at her apprehensively. He walked over to her and laid his hands on her wife's shoulder.

"Paul, you know we can't leave without a babysitter. It's too dangerous." Sally told him exasperatedly.

"Who are you texting?"

"Maria. She says she could try to find someone."

Hey, Sally. I found someone.

"Paul! She said she found someone!" Sally said excitedly. Paul peered over her shoulder.

Who is it?

My step-daughter, Annabeth told me she would LOVE to babysit your kids.

How old is Annabeth? Where does she study?

She's 16 years old and she just moved to Goode.

Oh, great! She's Percy's age and he's at Goode, too. Plus, Paul teaches there.

Yay, I found the perfect one. When will you see her? You do want to see her, right?

Yeah, I'll meet her tomorrow. Maybe at Starbucks at 10 tomorrow?

I'll tell her that.

Thanks a bunch, Maria.

Sally gave one last tap of the SEND button and put down her phone with a triumphant grin plastered on her face.

"Told you I'd find one! Now, I feel relaxed." She said, smirking at Paul. Paul chuckled and went back to his computer screen.

"Mom, we don't need a babysitter." Percy complained.

"Oh, of course you do, Percy. Last time we left you alone with your brothers, you wrecked the house and almost killed Tyson with the lamp." Sally replied. She was making sandwiches for her 16 year-old son.

"How many times do I have to tell you, it was an accident. Nico didn't mean to throw the ball so
far."

"I don't care. I've already arranged to meet Annabeth and I can't just cancel."

Percy sulked and ate his sandwich in silence. He did not like any of their past babysitters. They had all tried to hit on him. The last and worst one yet was the redhead Rachel something. She had left the house in tears. The bright side was, she babysat the kids for free because she didn't finish her hour.

"Come on, Percy. Don't make me feel bad. I can't leave you all at home for 2 weeks without anyone to watch over you guys." Sally said and Percy's expression softened. He could never stay mad at his mother.

He just hoped this babysitter was for once, normal.

"Hello, Mrs. Jackson. I'm Annabeth." The girl said politely. She had golden curls braided like a crown around her head like a princess. Sally thought she was very pretty with her tan skin and simple clothes.

Annabeth was nervous. She didn't show it but she was scared. Mrs. Jackson had offered to pay her a LOT if they got back home and the boys (and the house) were okay.

"Please, call me Sally. Well, Annabeth, I must say- you look great."

"Thank you, Sally. My step-mother told me you were looking for someone to babysit your kids. How long will you be gone?" Annabeth asked, warming up to the woman.

"If all goes according to plan, we'll only take 2 weeks." Sally replied.

"How many kids do you have?"

"I have a baby boy named Tyson, a 6 year-old Luke and a 16-year old boy named Perseus."

"Perseus?"Annabeth asked. People had often told her her name was unique but Perseus?

"Don't call him that, though. He prefers to be called Percy."

"Why the big age gap, though?"

"Well, Percy was a result of a relationship before Paul. We didn't get married but well- you get the point." Sally said, blushing. People had often asked why Percy was a Jackson and Tyson and Luke were Blofises.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to pry-"

"No, sweetheart. It's okay. So, will you do it? You seem to be very nice. And I think your grades are good, too? Maria told me you're a straight A's student?"

Annabeth blushed and muttered a Yes.

"Would you mind tutoring Percy as well? He's excellent in sports and his grades are terrible. I would gladly pay you double."

Annabeth's breath hitched. DOUBLE?

"Of course not. I'll tutor him." Annabeth managed to choke out.

"Great. Okay, so here are the details. We'll be leaving the first day on Summer. I'll give you the schedule soon and maybe I'll call you anytime." Sally said.

Annabeth nodded.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are you taking this job?"

"Oh, I need it for my college funds. I'm taking architecture and it's really expensive. And even with a scholarship, I can just barely scrape it. But I'm not sure I'll get the scholarship." Annabeth answered.

"Oh, don't worry honey. I hope you'll earn enough for your college funds. And I'm sure you'll get the scholarship. You look like a very bright girl. So unlike my Percy." Sally replied and Annabeth chuckled.

"Thank you."

Sally smiled and stood up.

"So, do wee have a deal?" she asked. Annabeth stood up and shook her hand.

"I've already paid for the latte." Sally told her and went out. Annabeth sat down and smiled to herself.

She took out her phone and texted her best friend, Thalia Grace.

I got the job!

The reply came back within a few seconds.

You one lucky girl. At least one of us will be making cash this summer.

Maybe you can try at another place. I can't wait to start Goode tomorrow.

We might as well skip. There's only a week left till summer.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and replied a 'Whatever'.

She finished her latte, took her handbag and skipped out of the shop.

Annabeth sighed nervously at her reflection. She was wearing a short skirt and white tank- top with a peace symbol on it. She was also wearing her gold bracelet and a pair of converse.

She tied her blond curls up into a messy ponytail, letting her curls cascade by her ears took her bag. She applied a little foundation and pink lip gloss and went out casually.

Thalia picked her up in her dashing blue Prius (Annabeth hadn't gotten her license yet) and the two friends chatted nervously until they reached the school. Annabeth knew Thalia would never admit it, but she was sure Thalia was just as nervous as she was.

Both stepped out casually and went up the steps. They bumped into a pretty girl who looked their age called Silena Beauregard and she offered to give the two newbies a tour. Annabeth thought she was very pleasant and kind, though a bit of a chatterbox.

"It's a little weird, though. You two moving here at the end of term. Seems so out of place." She said to the two, showing them the lockers and restrooms.

"Yeah. We have no idea how in hell we ended up in this school." Thalia grumbled.

Annabeth nudged her in the ribs.

"Sorry, this is like- Thalia's 6th school in her whole life and she kinda hates the idea of moving around so much." Annabeth told Silena.

"Oh don't worry, Thalia I just moved here last year and this is my 8th school." Silena replied.

A grin was etching itself on Thalia's lips.

"I have a feeling the three of us are gonna be good friends…" Thalia said, making Silena laugh.

Just then, everyone stopped talking (literally everyone). Everyone around them were looking at something outside.

A red Mercedes convertible just parked at a spot that said RESERVED on it. Three guys stepped out. The two blonds seemed normal to Annabeth but the black-haired boy caught her eyes. He was very tall and had the most beautiful eyes Annabeth had ever seen. He was wearing a button up white shirt and she could see his well-defined muscles.

"That's him. He is so gorgeous, right?" Silena giggled beside them.

"Holy shit, that's like a Mercedes Benz SLK-class convertible. That's the one I asked from dad!" Thalia cursed under her breath. Annabeth laughed. Thalia was obsessed with cars.

"Who are they?" she asked Silena. Silena seemed to be lost in some kind of trance.

"Nico di Angelo, Jason Grace and the famous Percy Jackson. They're like- the hottest, most popular guys in all of Goode." Silena sighed dreamily. They must be very important people, Annabeth thought.

Wait. Percy Jackson?

"Holy crap. Percy as in, Perseus?" Annabeth asked Silena.

"Yeah. He hates the name, though. Wait- you know him?" Silena asked excitedly.

"No. I heard of him." Annabeth lied. She looked at Thalia pointedly and Thalia gasped.

"Gosh, you are like so freaking luc-"

Annabeth put her hand over Thalia's mouth before she could say anything. For some reason, it would really bug her if people knew she was babysitting the hottest guy's siblings during Summer. AND, tutoring the guy himself.

"Okay, okay." Thalia mumbled and Annabeth let her go but glared at her before doing so.

Silena didn't ask any more questions but proceeded to her tour. When Thalia and her got their schedules, Silena shrieked.

"Oh my gosh! We have English together! And- the Big Three are going to share that class with us!"

Annabeth didn't need a genius to guess who the Big Three were.

She hoped that he wasn't too cocky.

The day had gone along fairly well. Her last class was History and neither Silena or Thalia had that class. She walked through the halls nervously. She was already 5 minutes late.

"We have been waiting for you, Annabeth." the teacher said, smiling warmly. Annabeth mentally sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry, I got lost, sir." Annabeth apologized, blushing furiously.

"No problem. We don't usually accept late exchanges but perhaps this is some kind of special case." The teacher called Chiron said and waved her to an empty seat, right next to the one and only Percy Jackson at the end of the classroom.

She was nervous. She had heard of many things about Percy in only a single day. Apparently, he was the quarterback in their football team and also the team captain for the swim team. He was also active in his music classes, playing the piano and guitar. Yup, Sally was totally right. No one has said anything nice about his report card yet…

She saw that the only reason people didn't take the seat was because Percy had his stuff piled on it. When he saw her approach the seat, he quickly took off all the stuff and dumped them on the floor beside him.

A few girls shot her a mean look. She was confused. Oh, yeah- she was sitting next to the hottest guy in Goode. How could she forget that?

"Sorry, just that-"

"You didn't want your fangirls to sit here. I get it." Annabeth chuckled, sitting down.

"What's your name?" Percy asked.

"How funny you should ask. I'm Annabeth. Annabeth Chase."she said. She almost laughed at his expression.

"You're the new-"

"Yes, yes. Don't say it out loud." Annabeth said frantically and Percy looked at her with curiosity.

"You're not like- one of them, right?" he asked and Annabeth instantly knew who he was referring to. His fangirls.

"Do I look like one of them?" she asked him and he shook his head.

"Not one bit." He answered.

Annabeth ended their conversation and her attention went to the Chiron, who was explaining a bit of Greek Mythology to the class.

Percy was still lost in his thoughts. This girl didn't seem so- creepy. In fact, she looked fine. Sure, he was shocked that this newbie was supposed to watch over them and tutor him but as long as she wasn't taking the job to hit on him- he was okay with whoever it was.

Annabeth's phone rang just as she stepped into Thalia's car.

"Who is it?" Thalia asked her curiously, revving up the car.

"Sally, I have to take this." Annabeth answered and Thalia nodded.

"Annabeth, dear. Are you free this afternoon?"

"Yeah. Is something wrong?" Annabeth asked worriedly.

"Oh no, everything is fine. Except for the fact that Paul fell down the stairs and broke his ribs."

"Oh my Gosh, is he okay?" Annabeth asked worriedly. She just had English with the teacher earlier and he seemed nice.

"He's doing fine. But I'll have to stay at the hospital and tend to him for a few days. I'd be home in the mornings but please, Annabeth. Could you take care of the boys for a few days?"

"Sure. What time do you want me?"

"In an hour or so, is that fine with you? How much would you want?" Sally asked her.

"Oh, no- I don't want your money, Mrs. Jackson. You must be so stressed out right now, consider this as a favor." Annabeth replied quickly.

"Really, sweetheart?"

"Yeah." Annabeth replied, smiling to herself.

"Thank you, Annabeth dear. When you arrive, I guess I'll already be gone. I'm just waiting for Percy. You can help yourself to anything in the kitchen. Percy is having Nico and Jason over and I'll make sure they don't bother you. Tyson will be asleep and Luke will be finishing his homework. And I'll be home around nine." Sally rambled.

"Oh, okay. I hope Mr. Blofis gets better. Tell him I said hi." Annabeth said.

"Thanks, Annabeth." Sally said and hung up.

"What was that about?" Thalia asked.

"Mr. Blofis broke his ribs 'cause he fell down some stairs and I'm gonna take care of the boys for a few a few afternoons." Annabeth replied and she saw her friend grinning like an idiot.

"What's wrong with your face, Thals?"

"You'll get to spend time with the hottest guy of Goode High School. How much more awesome can your life get, Annabeth? Who knows? He might ask you out before summer ends!" Thalia said excitedly.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and looked out the window.

"That will never happen, Thalia. There's obviously something wrong with your sentence." She said.

"What's wrong with it? I said the hottest guy in school might ask you out."

"Exactly. The HOTTEST guy in school. And I'm the dyslexic geek who gets straight A's all the time. It doesn't go like that." Annabeth said.

"Fuck that stupid rule! I thought we've been over this. Do not think of yourself as a geek Annabeth. You're amazing. Okay? You're the smartest person I know so forget about your stupid ADHD and dyslexia." Thalia scolded her and Annabeth rolled her eyes again.

She was silent the whole ride back to her house.

"Do you want a ride to the Blofis'?"Thalia asked her, still concerned about Annabeth's passiveness.

"No. It'll only take a few minutes for me to walk there." She replied and said goodbye to her best friend.

"Wait. Remember what I said, okay? Girl power, Annabeth!" she yelled before speeding off.

Girl Power? So typical of Thalia to throw off her own life motto at her. All Thalia had wanted to do for her whole life was to dedicate herself to a group called Ladies League, where they will pledge themselves to be eternal maidens. Sure, Thalia still had her share of crushes but she will NEVER marry or have sex for eternity.

She sighed as she tucked a few things into her bag- her phone, her laptop, her notebook and her iPod. She changed into a halter black halter top and a black skirt that reached her knees and black boots. She also took her black jacket and went out.

"Dad, Sally just called me in. Says she'll need me for a few days!" Annabeth yelled as she passed the library. As usual, her dad was working on some contraption. He grunted in reply.

"Will you be home for dinner?" Her step-mother, Maria asked.

"No." Annabeth replied and went out of the house.

Annabeth rang the doorbell.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

The door opened and a grumbling Jason opened the door. Sally was right. When he saw who was at the door, his expression softened and broke into a grin.

"PERCY FUCKIN' JACKSON! YOUR REALLY HOT GIRLFRIEND'S AT THE DOOR!" He yelled loudly into the hallway. Annabeth blushed.

"He will be with you shortly." He said, turning to Annabeth. Annabeth laughed.

Percy came running and smacked Jason's head. Jason laughed and Percy shoved him.

"She's not my girlfriend, she's the babysitter, you jerk." Percy said, shoving Jason out of the way. Jason went back to the living room.

Annabeth went in and Percy took her jacket.

"Where's Tyson? I thought your mum said he was supposed to be sleeping." Annabeth asked. Jason was so loud, it was weird not to hear a baby crying by now.

"Oh, he won't stop crying. Mom told me to tell you that she took Tyson with her to the hospital." Percy said. Annabeth nodded.

"Hey, Luke! Meet the babysitter!" Percy called up the stairs and an adorable 6 year-old came down.

"Aww, he's so cute." Annabeth cooed.

"I'm not cute! Luke is not cute! Luke is cool." The boy cried and Annabeth laughed.

"Okay, sure. Luke is cool."Annabeth said and the boy hugged her legs.

"Luke likes babysitter. Very pretty. Very nice. Other babysitter say Luke is cute and not cool." The boy said.

"Okay, he likes you. Jason, Nico and I are going to be in the living room play truth or die." Percy said.

"Truth or what?" Annabeth asked.

"Truth or die. Kind of like truth or dare. With the guy twist." He replied, shrugging.

"Guys play that stuff?" Annabeth asked, resisting the urge to burst out laughing.

"We're like- totally bored out of our skulls!" He cried.

"Shouldn't you guys be studying? SATs are coming." She chided.

"Fuck the SATs!" came a voice from the living room.

Annabeth laughed.

"Nice friends." She said and Percy chuckled.

"Okay. I'll take Luke back to his- wait, where's Luke?"

"He already went up. Probably gonna finish his homework. Wanna join us?"he asked her mischievously.

"Nah, I'm gonna look something up for English." She said.

"It's your first day- and our teacher just broke his ribs." Percy reasoned and Annabeth rolled her eyes.

"Have fun." She said and went upstairs to join Luke.

"We've got ice-cream in the freezer!" Percy yelled.

"Okay!" she yelled back.

So far so good.
