At School

Percy's POV

Okay. School has been going on for weeks. I haven't talked to Thalia once. One time when she said hi and tried to apologize, I turned my back on her and spoke nothing. She waited but I never said a thing. After about maybe ten seconds, she got all chocked up on words and she started to bawl. She yelled "I HATE YOU" at me and ran to the bathroom. I felt kind of sad but Annabeth told me she does that to get people to be sympathetic toward her. She told me to ignore her.

"Hey," I said to Annabeth. We were walking to math class and she told me she wanted to talk to me for something special.

"Hey!" she replied. She had a huge smile on her face. She looked in her backpack and pulled out an envelope. When she handed it to me, I was shocked. "Open it!" I did.

Inside the envelope was a card that practically screamed "YOU'RE INVITED!" Not kidding. It had speakers. I read the card as Annabeth's ecstatic smile burned into me.

Percy,

YOU'RE INVITED! Now that I'm turning fifteen, my dad finally let me invite boys to the house! AND THEY CAN SLEEP OVER! AHH! YAY! So, for my fifteenth birthday, I'm inviting: You, Nico, Tyson, Hazel, Piper, Frank, Leo, Reyna, Grover, and Thalia! Yes Thalia. I know she hates us, but I want to be nice. She's really lonely… Well, all you need to bring is a sleeping bag, a pillow, some sleeping clothes and a smile on your face! (Presents are excepted but not necessary…) I hope you can come! Address, time, and date are below!

~Love~

Annabeth

P.S. Be nice to Thalia… I know she tried to kill me…twice… please for me?

"Well…what do ya think?"

"Sure! I'd like that!" I replied.

"YAY!" she screamed and she pulled me into math class get yelled at by Mrs. Frankovic for being late.

Day of the sleepover…

I grabbed my bags and ran to get Annabeth's present. I bought her owl earrings! She said that Athena had always inspired her since we were in 1st grade. Perfect!

I made sure I had everything; my sleeping bag, my clothes, teeth care crap, and my dolphin Pillow Pet (as seen one TV!). I rush out the door to meet my mom at the car.

"NOW DON'T YOU GO SCREWING ANYBODY!" she yelled.

"MOM!" I yelled back. She exploded out in laughter. "Oh I'm just kidding…"she said. I glared but then smiled. I loved my mom!

We drove down the street and across town to get to her house. When we got there, she was sitting on the porch talking to her dad. As she saw our car, she screeched and ran to meet me.

"Happy Birthday!" I said.

"Awww…thanks"

I grabbed my bag and brought out the box with the earrings in it. She asked if she could see them before she opened the rest of the presents, but I told her, even if she was the birthday girl, that good things come to all who wait…

The rest of the guests piled in after me. Thalia was the last to join the crowd. I glared at her when she was getting out of her car but Annabeth elbowed me in the gut.

"Sorry…"

We ate and watched Clash of the Titans. We all laughed when Medusa's head was chopped off by Perseus and his sexy abs. [A/N: Quick shout out to dizzy-hope ! She told me she loved this movie!] Nico wished he could have sexy abs like that but Piper just told him he was crazy and that he'd have to keep dreaming. Annabeth's dad called us in for ice cream and strange enough, there was vanilla bean.

"I told him you liked it…" She told me.

Then Thalia came over to Annabeth "Can I get some vanilla bean too?" she asked. She looked jealous but her eyes showed sorrow and grief.

"Yeah sure!" Annabeth said with a smile. She got out the ice cream and brought it to the table. Thalia scooped it up and put two little round balls in her bowl. Annabeth stared at the ice cream and said she'd always wanted to try it. That's when I wanted to "make a "tiny" move" to get her. I scooped up some with my spoon and I held it up for her to try. She stared at me and I just nodded at the spoon. I handed the spoon to her and she put the whole thing in her mouth. She moaned from the goodness that was vanilla bean. She gave me the spoon back and she grabbed her own. She scooped some ice cream and dumped it into her bowl. She ate it and thanked me for letting her try it. Thalia stayed quiet. Things went on.

We played truth or dare and spin the bottle. I ended up kissing Annabeth in both games. Not the best thing to start off a slow relationship, when everybody can tell that we like each other.

"Frank, truth or dare?" I asked and he smiled.

"Dare!"

"I dare you to make out with Hazel!" I yelled. Ooohs and ahhhhs exploded in the room and the two looked pale. They went into a closet and closed the door on us. We listened through the door and sure enough, we heard something! When they came out, both of there lips were swollen and Hazel had a huge red mark on her neck. Frank's hair was all messed up. We walked back into the living room and Annabeth's dad told us we should go to bed. He had set up two tents in the backyard right next to the trampoline. We wanted to choose our own spots for each tent but marked on one tent was "BOYS" and on the other "GIRLS" Ugh…

We each talked and I even confessed that I like Annabeth. We had shut up and we could here the girls yelling; giddy and excited. The boys became deadly silent. I listened and heard them speaking.

"OH MY GOSH REALLY? He really FED you ice cream on his own SPOON?" asked Piper.

"that's so SWEET!" yelled Reyna.

"I KNOW!" yelled Annabeth. "I seriously like him…"

They all gasped "Really?"

"Yeah" she replied.

"Well, I like Frank!" Hazel chimed. Frank whispered yes in the background.

"I like Grover and Leo!" said Piper.

"And I like Tyson!" said Reyna.

"Who do you like, Thalia?" asked Hazel. I could tell Annabeth probably wasn't breathing. Neither was Thalia.

Thalia took a deep breath and finally said "Percy…I liked Percy…but ever since I attacked you, Annabeth…I know he'll never love me. So I've kind of grown close to Nico. I swear, even if he doesn't have those abs, he's got some serious biceps!" she said, trying to be peppy. At first all the girls were silent but they all whooped and cheered that they all had crushes. All the guys looked dreamily at each other. Obviously dreaming of a life with a girl. Grover and Leo started to fight about Piper but it turns out, the girls heard them.

"THOSE EASE DROPPERS!" Hazel yelled! And they all laughed. After a while, I heard the girl's tent unzip. Someone was probably going to get a drink of water. When she didn't "return", I went to investigate. I unzipped and peered outside. Lying on the trampoline was Annabeth, gazing at the star. I hopped on the trampoline and lay next to her. She seemed startled at first but she calmed down. We were silent, as were the tents beside us. Eventually we started to talk and we gazed at the stars. I showed her different constellations and she gasped as I finally showed her how to find the little dipper.

"I've never been able to find it!" she said joyfully. I smiled and gazed into her eyes.

"I'm so glad I found you again…" I stated. She tuned to look at me and we stared at each other for a while.

"Yeah…I was heart-broken when I heard my parents say we were moving. My mom died in our car crash on the way here." She moved her hair and showed me the scar on the back of her neck. "They say if it was one 1/16 of an inch closer in any direction, I would have died…" she let go of her hair and it gracefully fell into place. We fell silent. I stared at her and she looked toward me. She inched closer and we kissed. After at least ten seconds, both tents exploded with whoops and cheers! We separated and looked embarrassed. They all emptied their tents and got on the trampoline. Then we all had a heart-to-heart moment***…After that we all crawled back into our tents and slept the day away.

***A heart-to-heart moment is when everyone starts confessing their feelings…about life, friends, girls or guys, enemies, etc. Sometimes there is even crying involved.
