A/N: Hi~ I updated quicker than expected 'cuz there were more reviews then I thought!

And a little thanks to:

Doesn't matter—Thanks for the compliment!

That70sshowlova—Nah, we're just making up a rhyme. None of us are a genius. Well, except for some guy whose name is Rick Riordan.

—Yeah. That other story is good too. And thanks for the nice review!

Ok. Let's move on.

If "Bad day" could also define as "Big fight with annoying sibling" Then I'm having one. Guess what? *Dramatic music* It's…Malcolm the morbid! Don't call me sarcastic, just wait until you hear this. It all started from yesterday.

Yesterday, Seaweed brain invited me to…I mean he…ok, ok, he asked me out. .

*Flashback one*

"Hey, Annabeth."

"Hmm?" I looked up at him from my book, quizzically.

"You know, if you have time tomorrow, could you…like, meet me near the creek?"

Oh my gods, is he…?

"When?"

"Umm…two o'clock?"

"That'll be fine by me."

*Flashback ends*

That's how it happened. No, he's not asking me out, he probably just want to talk about something. Oh, and about my clothes…

*Flashback two*

"HE DID?"

"He only asked me to the lake, so what's so—" I said, covering my ears.

"Oh Annabeth, I'm, like, so happy for you!"

"Calm down Silena! Geez you seem like the one who's going out with him! Anyway, I was just wondering if you could pick something out for me. I mean, I don't want to meet him wearing my camp shirt! "

She grabbed a sleeveless blouse with a cardigan and short pants. "Here, these should do. Good luck!"

I took it with a quick thank you and went back to my cabin.

*Flashback ends*

And this is where our dear Malcolm joins the story.

"Annabeth! Why are you wearing like that?"

"What? Anything wrong?" I thought he meant I did something silly, like wearing it inside-out, for example.

"Wrong? The whole thing is wrong! I mean your short pants are about the same length with those Aphrodite high-heels! Are you sure you're going out in that outfit?"

I rolled my eyes. I wasn't the best when it comes to clothes, but this outfit has nothing wrong in my opinion. "Malcolm, I'm only meeting Percy!" Without any idea I just added a big can of oil to the angry fire inside of him.

"Only meeting Percy!" He shouted, pronouncing Percy as the worst word he could think of. "Your dear little boy, huh?"

I was taken surprise by his tone. Percy? Dear little boy? Of course I could see he totally dislike Percy, but this is going a bit too far…

"What's it to you, Malcolm?" I snapped back. "He's not trying to push me down the creek for heaven's sake."

"Oh, yeah? Perhaps you forgot that his father is Poseidon, who is practically mother's rival. I don't like to point this out, but you're fraternizing with the enemy!"

How could he stop me from meeting Percy? Isn't that like, taking out my freedom or something? I yelled: "Malcolm, will you just SHUT UP for a millisecond?

But he just went on and on like an annoying fly.

So I asked him, "What in the name of Poseidon is your problem? Are you jealous or what?"

And that ticked him off.

"Jealous?" He shouted. "JEALOUS? Just because I'm practically the only person without a relationship, I'm jealous? Gee, you should take a look at your darling dear Percy, then let's see who should be envious for what a free life I have!"

That gave me a shock. My brother, my own brother was telling me right to my face that my friend was a burden to my life.

So I did the most natural thing that came to me:

I ran off, slamming the door close.

Percy was waiting at the creek already. I look like a blowfish, with my puffy eyes, and that was probably the reason he notice me instantly.

"Annabeth! What's the matt—"

He never got to finish his sentence, because I buried my face in his chest and sobbed. Normally I wouldn't do that, but then this was not a normal situation.

"Ahh…Annabeth…what's wrong?"

I looked up at him, and it was impossible to see his face, due to my tearful eyes.

"M-Malcolm said that y-you're a horrible per-person and he doesn't w-want me to see you…"

"Aww, c'mon, don't cry. Forget Malcolm. Let's talk about something else."

He comforted me a bit more and my tears slowly turned to a smile. Then we chatted—from Zeus's new girlfriend to Travis's newest trick on Katie.

When I'm around him, I just feel safer and easier. I was so happy that afternoon I almost forgot Malcolm.

Almost.

Like the new chappie? It's longer then the last one, but Annabeth is a bit OOC. Just give some ideas to me with reviews. Thanks!
