Percy's POV

Camp Jupiter

"Annabeth, do we really have to do this? I've never been good at school! Why would it be any different now?" I complained. I wasn't ready for this. I was actually scared to death and that's saying something!

"Of course we have to, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth responded.

"You realize I'm going to fail, right? College is like middle school, but on steroids!" She really isn't understand my hesitation and I don't know how to explain it without seeming like a complete wimp.

"Fine, then just leave" She says as she turns around and stares out the lobby window, pouting.

I know I can't leave, but I never wanted to do this college thing. I'm not smart enough for it! I just did it to humor her, but she's my everything so I guess I'll have to do it anyway.

She's really very cute when she pouts. I have a feeling that that's why she did it in the first place. I don't want to do this, but I'll do absolutely anything for her.

"Annabeth, I'm sorry. I'm just nervous. Let's go or we'll be late for class,"

She smirks and faces me again, "Smartest thing you've said all day. Come on," She holds out her hand and I gladly take it.

Upsetting Annabeth is always at the bottom of my list. Why upset the one thing I have going for me? She really is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I probably wouldn't function without her.
