DISCLAIMER: I do not OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS! :'(

i got out of the car, percy following suit. "do you think that we should hold hands here too?" i asked him.

"well, i don't wanna risk any concequences. so i guess..." he told me. i held out my hand and he took it and laced our fingers together again. i felt my face heat up a little, and i saw that percy was blushing a little too. i opened the door and went up the stairs into my room. i let go of his hand for a minute and got my swim suit and went into the bathroom. i put it on under my clothes.

"percy, do you wanna get your math stuff from your house?" i asked him.

"um...why? oh right! tutoring! sure." he said. we walked out of my house and walked next door into his house. i looked around, taking it all in. we walked into his room and i saw that his room was relatively clean. i was actually suprised at how clean his room was. he grabbed his math stuff and we left. i just remembered that we were supposed to be holding hands because of nico's stupid dare. i walked up to him and brushed my hand against his. he looked over at me, his face red. i smiled at him, taking his hand in mine, lacing our fingers together. my face was burning a little, but i just kept walking, hiding my red face with my hair. "um...a-annabeth? call thalia and tell her that w-we'll be here for a while. so we can teach eachother in p-peace." he said, stuttering slightly. i smiled and nodded.

"okay, i'll meet you out back." i told him. he nodded and, almost hesitantly, let go of my hand and went into his room. i went into the kitchen and called thalia.

"hello?" i heard thalia's voice on the other end.

"hey, it's annabeth. we're at percy's house to pick up his math stuff because i was going to tutor him. he's also going to teach me how to swim. so we will be here a while, okay?" i told her.

"okay, just call when you're on your way!" she said.

"um...why aren't you making fun of me?" i asked her.

"oh, no reason!" she said, a little too happy.

"i don't believe you, but whatever. bye!" i hung up and walked outside. percy was already in the pool, swimming around. i noticed percy staring at me (not in a creepy way) as i took my clothes off, revealing my swimsuit. i walked over to the edge of the pool and dipped my feet in. percy went up to me and i felt him grab my ankles. before i realized what he was doing, he pulled me in! i came up gasping for air and to percy's laughter filling the air. i glared at him, trying not to laugh too.

"so thals know's that we're here?" he asked me.

"yep, and she didn't even tease us about it! but i think something's up." i said. "but let's not worry about that now."

"okay. so, what do you want help with?" he asked me.

"well, could you do what luke did?" i asked him.

"why do you need to do that again?" he asked.

"i was a little distracted." i told him.

"with what? luke?" he said, getting a little mad.

"well, yeah." i said. "why are you getting mad percy?"

"you like him!" he said.

"first; no i don't it was uncomfortable that he was practically on top of me when i barely knew him. second; why are you mad that i like him. which i don't." i told him.

"i'm mad because i know that luke would just hurt you if you went out with him. luke is...well...a jerk." he said. "besides you can do way better." he said.

"i know, that's why i don't like him. now can you show me the strokes again?" i asked him. he nodded and showed them to me. when i still didn't get it, he took my hands, lacing our fingers together, and went through the strokes with me. i looked over at him, and he smiled at me. i blushed slightly and smiled back. after a while, i was swimming better.

"can you tutor me now?" he asked me.

"sure. i was gonna ask that soon anyways, i'm gettin a little cold." i admitted, shivering. i felt percy wrap his arms around me from behind. i felt my face heat up slightly, and when i turned around to look at him, i saw that his face was a little red too.

"better?" he asked me.

"much better." i said, smiling. he blushed a little more and smiled back. i turned completely around so that we were facing eachother. i wrapped my arms around him, embracing his warmth. i was still shivering a little. percy noticed this and tightened his arms around me. we stayed like that until i stopped shivering. i felt percy's grip loosen slightly on me and we pulled away. i still felt warm and i got out of the pool and walked into his house. "hey, where's your mom?" i asked percy.

"she's at montak beach." he replied.

"oh. okay. so let's get to your math tutoring!" i said. percy groaned and i giggled. oh gods, percy's changing me...for the WORSE!

so, how was it? i know, i'm still not capitalizing...and as i said before, i probably never will. and i'm sorry that there may be typos because i don't have time to edit because of school and other stuff lol please review! i want 20 reviews!
