HEY THIS IS MY FIRST STORY SO BE NICE! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW. TAKES PLACE BEFORE TLO (BECAUSE I DIDN'T FINISH IT YET :P).
"Miss. Chase the plane is leaving and unless you want to stay in the San Frisco airport for a week I suggest you get on the plane now!" Mrs. Cray, my fat faced teacher called.
"Are you coming Annabeth?" My boyfriend, Brandon, called from the terminal.
"I'll be right there Brandon." I called back
It was the 16th of October my school was going to New York City to study some of the art museums there, but I really didn't want to go! First, because Mrs. Cray hated me! Second, because I was told to watch Mt. Tam and my notebook (where I had been keeping record of the clouds) showed that the clouds where getting bigger and darker then darker and bigger. And lastly, because I really did not want to meet Percy. I hadn't exactly told Percy about my boyfriend, especially after what I did last summer. I thought that I would be safe from Percy in the museums, but I had three free days. I could run into him at any time during those days.
"Miss. Chance, NOW!" Mrs. Cray yelled again.
"Sorry." I grabbed my bags and joined Brandon on the plane.
It was a very long five hour plane ride, not just because I was bored to tears, but because I could not figure out what would happen if I met Percy. Should I say 'Hi' and then run away, or say sorry wrong person? NO! NO! NO!
After what seemed like forever, Brandon called to me from the front of the plane, "Annabeth are you coming or what?"
"Huh…of course, I'll be right there."
I ran to catch-up with him, and then we got on the bus and went to the hotel. On the way to the hotel, Brandon and I started talking.
"Are you ok Annabeth? You have been acting weird ever since we got to the airport." He asked me.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just distracted." I tried to change the subject, "Let's just have a fun time while we are here."
"Speaking of fun, a group of us is going to central park later tonight to have a picnic do you want to come? We can go on a romantic carriage ride after we finish."
"Sure, that sounds great!" I tried to put on an excited face.

At five o'clock, I was getting my necklace when I heard someone knocking on the door.
"Knock knock, may I come in?" My boyfriend called from behind the door.
"Hold on, I will be right there Brandon."
I ran over to the door, and opened it to find my Brandon standing in the door way. He gave me a hug and we went down to the lobby to wait for the other couples. When they got there, we found the blank and the basket, and walked to central park.
It was fun. We talked about how boring the art museums were going to be (which I completely objected to; I was excited to see the museums). And about how Mrs. Cray's nose could pop a balloon.
Then the boys started talking about sports and started playing football. I stood there in amazement as Connor caught the football, dropped the football, slid three feet across the ground, and then started complaining about how much his side hurt.
I giggled at him. I had done things ten times worse and have never said a word. Sometimes it was strange to think about how demigods are so much different from normal people. But we still talk about the same things, do the same things and no one can ever tell the difference. Thinking about this I wondered if I would ever tell Brandon I was a half-blood.
It was about seven o'clock and we were all about to go back to the hotel when Brandon grabbed my hand spun me around. He looked me in the eyes and said, "I promised you a romantic carriage."
"Ok," I said stupidly, and then I started blushing like a fool.
People started awing and singing some dumb song: 'Brandon and Annabeth sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g'. I rolled my eyes and so did he. I giggled as Brandon and I walked away hand and hand, strolling over to the carriage. Once we got there, he helped me up into the carriage. Then, he started talking to the driver. I sat there thinking about how I could tell him the about my secret. Brandon came back and gave me I big smile as sat next to me. We talk for what seemed three minutes, but it had really been a half an hour and we needed to get back to the hotel.
We had gotten off the carriage, and I was heading back to the hotel, when Brandon pulled me over to a park bench. He turned to me and said, "Annabeth you would never keep anything, and so I'm not going to keep anything from you…I love you."
And with that, he kissed me.
After a second or two I pulled back. Looking into his big brown eyes, the only thing I could think about was how honest he thought I was, and how I keep such a big part of my life from him. Maybe I should tell him I was a demigod now.
We sat there for a minute then started walking back to the hotel, but I was still deciding about what I should do. Should I tell my boyfriend that my mom is a Greek god? That I was related to someone that we learned about in history class? It was just too weird.
That's when I fell, tripping over my own two feet. Brandon pulled me to my feet, asking if I was ok.
A nice boy passing by stopped to see if I was all right.
"Oh my Gods! Are you ok?"
I was staring down at my bloody knees, but my head snapped up when I heard the boy say 'Oh my gods'; 'Gods' notGod.
I looked up into the sea green eyes that looked too familiar to belong to a stranger.
