Annabeth rubbed her eyes as she woke up. Her allergies were really hitting hard in spring, and her eyes were puffier than usual. As she went to the bathroom, Piper slowly stirred in the bed next to hers and reached her arm out to shut off her alarm. Last night, the girls had been studying late into the

night in order to prepare for their finals which were next month. All of their friends hadn't gone to the party late last night, them to study and others to study as well or had plans.

As Annabeth came out of the bathroom, Piper was on her phone and hadn't even left the bed yet. Piper had wanted to go to the party last night but knew that she should stay and study with Annabeth and get some tutoring especially because she usually spent her time in the library studying with Percy.

Piper thought that Percy was much more than a friend to Annabeth, although she indignantly disagreed.

"Get some beauty sleep last night, Beauty Queen?" Annabeth grinned as she used Leo's nickname for Piper.

"No, not that much. Did you know that Leo was the DJ last night for the party? I knew that kid liked parties at heart! Wait - is that Nico?! Did he go to the party last night?" Annabeth shrugged and continued gathering her binders and notebooks to go to class.

"P, I'm going to go get breakfast from the cafe, text me what you want. Class starts in half an hour." Piper nodded and went into the bathroom, while Annabeth went to go get breakfast. Luckily, Moore had a policy of which students were allowed to bring breakfast into their room and usually Annabeth was the one to do it for the two. The only downside for the both of them was that they weren't able to hang out with their friends (maybe a little more than that for Annabeth).

By the time Annabeth and Piper had finished breakfast, they said their goodbyes and headed for class. Annabeth had almost all of her classes with Percy, which gave her so much to look forward to during the day. As she walked into Physics, she saw his shaggy brown hair right behind her seat.

"Hey Seaweed Brain, no swimming today?"

"Nope, Coach is out sick today and we had doubles yesterday, so I wouldn't have gone today if there was practice. Where were you last night? Weren't we planning to go to that Thai restaurant downtown?"

Crud. How could I forget? I just got so caught up with tutoring Piper, I completely forgot. And I was looking forward to that for such a long time.

"Oh shoot. I'm so sorry, I was up late last night studying and helping Piper I just completely forgot. Maybe next week?"

"Oh, I have a swim meet that week so I'm going to have to watch what I eat beforehand."

Annabeth's face fell, but she turned back to face Mr. Brunner, who was one of her favorite teachers.

During Physics however, her heart tinged with sadness and she didn't know why. Going out for dinner wasn't even such a big deal.

But why did it seem like so much more than that?
