After the war with Gaea, Percy decided to try and live a normal life. Well as normal as a life as a demigod can get. Being the son of Poseidon had its ups and its downs. He of course can breathe underwater and can also control water, but whenever he gets excited or mad, every single water pipe within 100 feet is blown to bits. So, you can imagine what happened when he found out that all of the 6, excluding Leo because they still hadn't found him, were going to the same high school as him. All the bathrooms at camp half-blood was blown and the entire area was flooded. Percy couldn't help it. He was excited…

Percy's first day at Goode High School was going according to plan. He managed to not fall asleep during any of his classes. Which was great for him because he told himself he was going to actually have to try hard in order to stay with Annabeth. During lunch, he sat with Annabeth, Jason, and Piper. He didn't know where Frank or Hazel were.

"Guys, have you seen Hazel or Frank"

"I saw them this morning in math class, but other than that no." Answered Annabeth

Percy thought that was weird but he didn't think much of it. Frank and Hazel could take care of themselves. He was still a little worried when Frank came in the cafeteria. He was wearing a jacket that covered his neck. Percy didn't know why but he thought nothing of it.

"Where have you been man?" Percy asked.

"Nowhere, just had to stay after class" Frank said.

Percy frowned. I had the same class as him last period, but I don't remember him being called to stay late. I actually remember him going to the bathroom. My thoughts got interrupted as Hazel walked in the cafeteria. Her hair was way too messy for it to be natural.

"Hey guys!"

"Why is your hair so messy?" Blurted Annabeth. I elbowed her.

"Oh…. No reason"

I looked at Frank and then at Hazel and then back to Frank. My eyes widened as I realized what happened and I gasped.

"What?" asked Annabeth, Jason, and Piper.

"OOOOOOOHHH" I said.

Suddenly Frank pulled me towards the hall way.

"How much do you know?" Frank asked.

"So you did do it?"

Frank blushed, "Yes. Now please don't tell anyone, we want it to be a secret."

"Come on man, we are not going to judge you."

"Please, knowing you guys, you guys are just going to use it against us."

"Fine, but can I please tell Annabeth. You guys can tell Jason and Piper whenever you want."

Frank hesitated then said," Fine, but only Annabeth."

"Promise"

We walked back to the table.

Everybody asked me what it was, but I waved them off. I was not going to breaking my promise anytime soon.

After lunch, I finished the rest of my classes and went to the school board. I wanted to sign up for the swim team. I saw the paper and it read

When: Wednesday after school

After I finished writing my name I looked over at Annabeth. She was signing up for the architecture team. I thought Of course you are, Wise Girl. After that was done we started heading back home. Annabeth's parents were still living in San Francisco, so she was going to be staying with me, my mom, and Paul. We blew up an inflatable couch for her and put sheets on it.

"So, what about Hazel and Frank?" She asked.

I grinned, "They did it."

"Did what?"

I tried my hardest not to laugh. "You know, when one person loves somebody and the other person does to- "

"OH MY GODS they, did it?"

"yep."

"where?"

"I don't know"

"it's kind of hard to think about HAZEL and FRANK doing it."

"I know, especially when either of us have done it before."

I held my laugh. I wanted to see what her reaction was going to be. Annabeth just smiled.

"Shut up seaweed brain" She blushed.

"Ok."

That night for dinner we had the best lasagna ever made, by of course, my mom. We all sat and talked for a while, until I decided it was time to go to bed. I kissed Annabeth goodnight, and she went to her air mattress, while I went to my bedroom. I lay in bed thinking of how things were going good, and no matter what happens nothing will change this feeling. Soon I drifted off.

Of course, there were nightmares. I was running through the woods holding someones hand. I couldn't see who it was, but I knew it was Annabeth. Something was chasing us and I couldn't let it hurt her. About half a mile ahead I saw camp. I started towards it but the more I ran, the farther it seemed to be, and then Annabeth screamed.

I awoke with a start and told myself it was just a dream. But then I heard it. Another scream. I thought Annabeth. I headed to the air mattress on the floor and sat down next to her. I held Annabeth until she woke up. In the morning, she decided not to speak about it. I started getting ready for school when she walked in on me shirtless.

"Oh, hi." She blushed.

It wasn't anything that she hadn't seen before.

"Hi. Another day of school. How do you feel?"

"Fine"

"Do you want to talk about your nightmare?"

She shivered. "I was running away from something while holding your hand. We were in the woods. Then you pulled away but I couldn't see you. And then I-… I heard you screaming."

"Its ok. I'm here and I'm never going to leave you again."

They walked to the front door and left for school.
