When we finally reached our house, I took out my keys and unlocked the front door. As we walked in, Annabeth started to look around.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked. She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Watch T.V.?" she asked. I nodded no. "Read?" she asked. I nodded no. I wasn't much of a reader.

"I've got a PS3. Do you like Black Ops 2?" I asked. Her face instantly lit up. "I love that game! I'm the best at it." she said. Not as good as me… I thought.

We both ran to my bedroom and put the disc in the console. I logged into my Playstation Network account and she pulled up hers. I couldn't believe it. I'm a Sergeant, but she's a lieutenant! When she saw my rank, she smiled at me.

"Look who's got a higher rank!" she said like she was a little child. I laughed. "Ranks don't matter. I could just as easily kick your butt." She again smiled, and I started the match.

Three matches later…

"How can you beat me three times in a row?" I asked. I know it sounds pretty lame. A girl just beat me at video games. But she's great, scratch that, amazing at this game. Annabeth smiled. "It's a gift." she said. Now it was my turn to smile.

"How about one more match? Winner takes the title of best Black Ops 2 player." I said. She thought about this more a minute. "Okay Perce, but are you sure you want to be beat again?" she asked with an innocent looking face. I smiled. "You're on!" I yelled.

When the match started, I asked her, "How long have you been living in New York?" I asked. "Actually, my family just moved here from LA. It's been hard trying to make new friends, but fortunately, I met Thalia right before school started and we really hit it off." she said.

"Thalia… Thalia Grace?" I asked. She nodded. "She's my cousin." I said. "Really? I didn't know that." she said.

Five minutes later…

"Are you serious? You won again?" I asked in disbelief. She nodded. "It's destiny Perce. I was born to play this game." I chuckled. "You may have beat me at Black Ops 2, but I will kick your butt at Modern Warfare 3." I told her.

She thought for a second. "Okay, let's see who's the best. Get the game out." she said. Right when I was getting it out, she looked at the clock. "Sorry Percy, I've got to go." I nodded. "Okay, I had fun Annabeth. I'll walk you out." I said.

As we were approaching the door, I heard someone knocking. I pulled it open, and it was Grover.

"Percy, you'll never believe what happened!" he said. He was getting ready to share his exciting news, when he saw Annabeth. "Oh, hi. I'm Grover, Percy's friend." he said. She nodded. "Hey, Annabeth Chase." she replied.

"I've really got to go Percy. Thanks for inviting me over. Bye!" she said, as she started walking to her house.

"Who was that?" Grover asked. "A friend. I met her today. After you said you couldn't come, I invited her over." I answered. "Do you like her?" he asked. "I don't really think of her as a future girlfriend. She is beautiful and nice, but I think we're just friends." I replied.

"Anyway, what's the good news?" I asked. Grover instantly smiled, remembering what made him so happy. "Grover said yes!" he exclaimed. I smiled. "Congrats G-Man!" I told him.

"We're going to the movies tomorrow." he said. "I'm just really nervous." He's been thinking about asking her out since the sixth grade, why is he so nervous now? "Just relax Grover. Don't think of it as a date, think of it as hanging out. You know, like when you come over to my house. You two are just going to hang out." I said reassuringly. He nodded.

"Thanks Perce, I can always count on you. I'll see you at school tomorrow." he said. I nodded, and he went elsewhere. This was the perfect day.

A/N: Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed the second chapter! I noticed on other people's stories, in the author's notes they'll put, "Books to read", or "Movies to watch" in every end of ever chapter. Well I decided I have some fun and start "Songs to listen to."

Today's song: "Fear Inside Our Bones" by The Almost.
