Annabeth POV:

I wake up to Thalia shaking me. Shaking, shaking, shaking...

And I'm on the floor!

"Thalia!" I groan. What time is it?

"WAKE UP RIGHT NOW MS. I-AM-GOING-TO-SLEEP-IN-AND-MISS-ALL-THE-FUN! YOU HAD BETTER..." Thalia is screaming in my ear.

I am going to kill her.

When the yelling finally comes to an end, I glance at my watch.

6:02

"Thalia, why-?" I am cut off by her slamming her hand over my mouth, and dragging me out of my room, into the lounge on our floor, and into the closet. Then she starts pointing to her ear to tell me to listen.

I groan. Why me?

Then I hear it, a distant voice telling someone something. And it seemed to be coming from, the ceiling?

The boys are above us! We must be able to hear them in this closet because it is directly below an air duct! This is too good.

I listen intently

"-sister brought four friends. She says one is a sight, a beauty. I think she said her name was something like- "

I sneeze. Dang it! Missed it. Maybe Thalia heard it.

"What did they say?" I whisper to her.

"I couldn't hear over your coughing!" She whisper-yells. Ugh.

I quiet to listen again. Thalia doing the same.

A deeper voice this time says:

"-I'm going to go down there and meet her. "

The first voice again:

"Not now! I heard they are all planning on going to the beach today. Well all pick the girl we think it is, and then ask their names. We each choose one girl. Wanna each bet $50?"

"You're on" another male voice

"Sure" yet another male voice

"Let me in!" The deep voice from before.

"Uh. Yeah. Sure. " the final voice

I can't wait to see how this plays out!

Percy POV

We (the 5 boys) got here last night, late. Probably 2:15. We all just went to the 5th floor and plopped into our beds.

Then, about an hour later, we heard some other people come in. Sounded like girls. Tired girls. (There was lots of complaining)

So we all met in the hallway and quickly (and believe it or not quietly) followed Jason to the stairs downstairs (as the girls were taking the elevator) into the surveillance room on the first floor.

As we scan through the cameras of the house, we notice that the cameras to the 4th and 5th floor has been cut off.

Just for what we are doing right now. Mr. and Mrs. Grace are too smart.

As Jason flips through the feed, he suddenly has a realization! The elevator! The girls are using the elevator!

He flips to the elevator feed.

I count 1...2...3...4...5 girls -and about 50 bags.

They are all good looking. None stand out to me though. However we can only see the tops of their heads mostly. Oh well.

As we head back to bed, I think about the bet. After all, I tend to wake up unusually early. I'll have first picks if I get to the beach first.

As I am thinking in my bed, I feel myself drift off to sleep, expectant to see the girls tomorrow at the beach...

Jason POV

I have been looking forward to this summer for a while now. My sister Thalia has been talking to me about the friends she brought. I think she said their names were Juniper, Piper, Selena, and Annabeth. What kind of a name is Annabeth?

Annabeth was the name Thalia told me though.

Well. One of the names. She said they were all the amazing for different reasons, and I just want to see who the boys liked best.

This is what Thalia told me:

Annabeth: the smartest person you'll ever meet. Very pretty. Very athletic. Single.

Piper: pretty. Her dad is Triatan McLean. Great at volleyball. Seriously. Recently single

Selena: The prep of the group. Pink. That's it.

The four boys he brought are Percy, Grover, Nico and Beckendorf.

Oh well. Things will play out well. I'll just pick one of the girls. After all, I am supposed to write down her name. Then we would all guess who that was. Not too hard. I just hope I have good taste.
