So, I know you're probably wondering why I didn't update in a while. Well, I thought nobody would like this story until I got this comment from a someone named Golden Drachma. So I am now encouraged to write more.

Disclamer: I do not own Percy Jackson

I layed in my bed for a long time recapping the day.

It wasn't a bad first day. But it could've been better.

Luke could've noticed me. I wouldn't have such a big mouth. could've not given a test with fricken' word problems. I mean, numbers and letters?

I could've realized that people think that Percy and I are some sort of couple now. But, hey. I could've drowned.

Why couldn't I realize that I was practically flirting with Percy and he was returning a favor?

I could've spent my whole time catching Luke's attention by flaunting myself in swimming. He probably thinks I'm just some other normal girl.

The worst thing is that Percy let me do all of those things without warning me. What a kelp head. Not that he knows I'm trying to catch Luke's heart.

I hope Thals won't bring something up.


"What happened yesterday with Percy?"

"What yesterday? What Percy? Hey are you wearing a new lipstick?" I tried to change the subject because I really don't want Thalia thinking I have the hotts for her cousin.

"Stop stalling. I saw you guys in swimming class. That whole splishy splashy thing was totally flirting." Thalia recalled.

"No! Plus I don't even like Percy. He's just a long lost friend, okay. I haven't seen him for nine friggin years. We gotta lotta catchin up to do. Besisdes, I have my eyes on luke Castellan." I explain.

"Sure." Thalia said as she turned left on the stop sign without signaling. I thought for a moment.

"When were you in my swimming class?"

"Aww...Was wittuw Annie to in wuv with Perwcy to nowtice hew best fwend since fowevew?"Thalia mocked in a baby voice.

"Shut up. And stop calling me Annie! It's so annoying."

We got to school-on time. So in Mr.D's class Thalia and I got to talk.

"So let's get this strait. Luke's your crush.I'm your best friend. And percy's a nobody?"

"That's what I just said." I recalled.

"But in the car you said that Percy's your firend."

"Forget what I said. I'm chasing Luke so Percy is just going to get in my way. I mean, Percy's not even popular." I noted.

"Okay? So anyway nice outfit. You actually cared about trying." Thalia pointed out as she looked over my black jeans, navy blue vans, and my blue top.

"Thanks, I was trying to impress L- a special someone," I tried to cover Luke up because Percy just sat in his seat.

I guess I was to busy chatting with Thalia to notice that Percy entered the classroom.

"Morning Perce," Thalia sang as if she were to mock me.

"Thals, Annabeth."Percy said nodding to both of us right before he texted someone on his phone. I was curious to know who could possibly be texting him.

I caught a glimpse at the screen before he put his phone back in his pocket. I didn't notice Thalia smirking at me.

She slid off my desk to take her seat. But before she did that she leaned down and whispered to me.

"So he's a 'nobody'. By the way not that you should already know. Percy's favourite colour is blue."

I wanted so badly to cuss her out right now but the bell rang and Mr.D started taking role.

I was really bored. Like really bored. I'm practically learning everything I learned all over again. Chron taught me Greek mythology when I was little.

I really didn't pay attention. My fingers started to tap against my desk. Then I would say the started to bang,

"Miss Chase," I heard Mr.D say. I looked up and found all eyes on me. I thought I was supposed to answer a question but I found out it was my loud drumming.

"Sorry. ADHD. Can't really control it," I apologize and he just continues with the lesson. I chose to shake my leg instead.

After Greek Mythology I walk with Thalia to Math. Ugh. Fuck math. Fuck .

Math passed by pretty quickly. We went over our pre test. But thank Athena that it didn't count for a grade.

Thalia and I weaved through the halls while chatting.

"So, who was Nobody texting?" Thalia teased.

"Come on Thalia. We have to get to swimming and I don't want Coach N to be waiting on us." I said before I started to sprint in the hall.

"Anna-Ann-Annabeth! Wait up!" Thalia yelled to me.

"Come on Thalia!-Ooof!" I bumped into someone and my things fell out of my bag.

I went on my knees and frantically started grabbing my things and stuffing them in my bag.

I stood up and saw Luke holding a book out to me. I gently took it from him and thanked him.

"No prob. Hey, Annabeth right?" His silky voice said smoothly.

"Yup." I recalled. I don't want to say much because I might start stuttering.

"I'm Luke," He stuck his hand out. "We have next period together."

"I know." I took his hand. It would be rude if I didn't take the offer.

"Well, I'll see ya in a bit. By the way Annabeth is a pretty name."

I walked towards the swimming room feeling bubbly.

"Did you just see what I saw. Oh my gods! He said you were pretty! What is air?" She said a little too meladramatically.

"He said my name was pretty. He's practically complimented my dead parents."

"Still."

"Chase, Grace. Get dressed." Coach said.

I saw that some people already got dressed and are sitting on the bleachers. One in particular Percy. Who's talking with RED.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I hated her and still do.

Red hair, green eyes, freckles that complimented her in a great way. That's why I hate her.

She's too perfect. She's so nice and smrt and pretty.


The rest of the day was a blur. Thalia took me home and reminded me that I'll be sleeping over tonight.

"I'll be there."

I hope I will.

"How was your day at school?"

"Great." I replied firmly and I grabbed a bag of chips before going to my room.

I attempted to do m homework but got frusterated and smoked instead.

My room's a mess. Well, Look at my life. That seems like a good comparison.

I decided to go to Thalia's because I don't have anything else to do.

I munched on some chips while I packed. Toothbrush, extra clothes, and a towel. Just incase.

I galloped down the steps.

"What's that for?" Chiron asked while looking up from his writtings. Not that I know what they are.

"I'm going to Thalia's for the night." I explained hoping he wouldn't protest.

"Can you at least wait until after dinner?" I sighed annoyed as I went to set the table.

Setting the table isn't that hard because only two seats need to be set up. Although, we have this big a fuck table so twelve people could fit on it.

Dinner was at it's usual state. No talking just eating.

"Have fun."

"Okay. You too. Bye." I said before I shut the door in his face.

I rang the doorbell then crouched down and untied my shoes.

The door swung open.

"Sorry Thals. I could've got here earlier but Chiron wanted me to eat first." I said as I looked up.

It was Percy. Dripping wet. With swmming trunks on.

I hope you like that chapter and of course there's more to come! I'll updat soon!
