A/N: Thanks for your reviews! I am having fun with this story so I don't care if I don't get a lot of reviews, I am still going to write it. Enjoy, those few who are reading! Haha : )

Annabeth's POV:

It was a tight living arrangement but we would make it work.

Going up the stairs, you saw a four doors. The left one was Mr. Swede's room and the middle one was a bathroom which Grover, Percy and I use. The next doors were our bedrooms. I had taken the smallest and Percy and Grover shared the bedroom closest to the bathroom.

We had a pleasant night's sleep and in the morning, Mr. Swede allowed us to get familiar with the town. It was a Saturday morning and we had school the next day.

"Percy, I asked Coach Jenkins if he could use an extra person on the football team and he said he would be delighted. Practice starts at 1 p.m. and goes to 3 p.m. Have fun." He said. Percy was actually very excited. Not only would I be the new girl dating the football player, it would give us another in at the games. Eyes everywhere.

For the first few hours of the day, we talked with Mr. Swede, asked Grover about various teachers we have and got psyched up for football practice. Actually Percy was mostly asking about the football rules. Once I had a good idea of football and Percy knew the rules down to the nub, Percy drove to practice. I decided to tag along.

Mr. Swede had rented a car for us to drive for the rest of the time we were here. It was an old slug bug, the color of limes. It only had two seats and an obsolete stereo.

"How does this thing work?" Percy asked an he clicked some buttons.

"Shut up and drive. I will figure it out." I said and smacked his hand away. He rolled his eyes and pulled out of the driveway. We got on the main road and turned towards the high school. The radio was now working but it got stuck on the classical station, so all that played was the high pitched violins.

"Ready?" I asked

He nodded as the stadium came into sight. He parked in the lot and we saw other people get out of their cars, all with black uniforms on. They had a helmet in one hand and another bag in the other. Percy and I walked to the stadium. There was a ticket booth at the front, and passing through the gates, there was raised seats and the football field was to it's left.

We stood on the track that wrapped around the field and looked at the green turf.

"Haven't seen you around here before." a voice called from my right. With Percy on my left we looked at who was talking.

A boy who was pretty tall and had strong, lean muscles was standing next to us. He had a jersey on top of his uniform. His number was 7, and the last name on the back was INLAND.

"Oh, yeah. I'm Percy Jackson and this is my girlfriend, Annabeth Chase. We are new and I am going to try out for the football team today." He said.

"I'm Daniel Inland." He said with a charming smile. His brown hair was swept to the side and cut short. His deep brown eyes had a hint of fire in them. "I'm a senior and the quarterback for the team."

"You have a wonderful town, Daniel." I told him. "I'm very excited to start with school tomorrow."

"Yeah, what is your schedule?" He asked. We told him and he told us about our calculus teacher. Percy wasn't thrilled about that.

"Hey, you might want to go talk to coach Jenkins. Go get started and I will see you out on the field." He said and pointed to a middle aged man in a windbreaker. He had a bald head hidden by a baseball cap and a cropped beard around his mouth.

"Hey, I will go sit up in the stands and watch." I told Percy and squeezed his hand.

"Ok, Wise girl." I retreated up into the stadium and watched as Percy talked with the coach.

On my way into the stands, I was given a couple weird glances. All the players were husky and strong, making their way onto the field. I saw a few people in the stands but didn't give a second thought about them.

I climbed the stairs until I got in the stands. Every step up was concrete and the benches were merely just steps up. I went down an aisle that was centered on the 50 yard line.

It was a bit chilly but the sun was shining down. I watched as Percy and Coach Jenkins shook hands. They talked a bit and laughed, sharing things with each other. Percy looked like he was caught off guard but eventually ended up pointing a finger up at me. The two men looked at me and I met Percy's eye contact. The Coach smiled and waved at me. I waved back and they walked underneath the stadium. There was probably a door leading to a locker room for the players. The disappeared a girl started making her way down the aisle. Her high heeled boots clicked with each step.

"Hi, are you new?" She asked, intrigued.

"Yeah, I'm Annabeth Chase."

"I'm Courtney Ingrid." She smiled again. She had very dark, black eyes and long brown curly hair that cascaded down her back. She looked like a model and was bundled up with a brown jacket and a pink scarf. She felt like she was superior and definitely made everybody else know. I could tell by the way she talked. But I tried to be nice.

"Nice to meet you." I said politely.

"Thanks. Where are you from?"

"New York, actually. My and my boyfriend flew down here. We are kind of related to the principal so we will be staying her for a bit."

"You will like it here." She assured. "Who is your boyfriend?" She asked.

I searched on the field and Percy walked out from under the stadium with Coach Jenkins.

"There he his." I pointed.

"Wow. He is hot. My boyfriend is number 23 down there, see? We met…" The next few seconds I was focused on Percy. It was like a cliché. I was the smart girl who got the football player. Percy turned around and even from a distance, I saw his green eyes flash with excitement. He gave me a thumbs up and ran to the coach as he gathered around with the other players. His uniform and gear was a bit awkward for him to run in, but if he could play capture the flag in celestial bronze, I think he could handle a bit of shoulder padding. His borrowed jersey said "SMITH" with the number 42. "… Yes! That would be awesome! Don't you think?" Courtney said, suddenly excited. Honestly, the only thing that I heard from her in those last few seconds was 'BLAH, BLAH, BLAH'.

"What?" I asked, clearly looking stupid and pushed back a stand of golden hair.

"I was saying that we should double date! Oh my god that would be so fun!" Wow, I was liking this girl less and less.

Gods, she wouldn't shut her trap. I had to multi task between watching the team play each other, listen to Courtney and fill in my parts with the appropriate "umm hmms" and "Oh yeah!" and the occasional "I know what you mean".

The time ticked by and once the team had slapped Percy's back several times in approval, they all disappeared to get changed. When they were done, Percy bounded up the stairs towards me in his street clothes. Almost every inch of his open skin had at least a bit of turf on him. . His pitch black hair was doused in sweat but his crazy grin showed otherwise.

"Annabeth! That was awesome."

"You looked great out there." I complimented. "Who is Smith?" I asked, regarding the jersey he was given.

"Just an extra in the lock-"

"HI! I'm Courtney Ingrid. Nice to meet you. I have heard a lot about you while Annabeth and I were up here!" Courtney budged in and shook Percy's hand.

"Umm, hi." He said with a greatly surprised look.

"We must get going, see you later Courtney." I rushed and took Percy's arm and dragged him away from that crazy girl. His new sports bag bounced behind him.

"What was that about? I heard you talked a lot about me." Percy said with a smart ass grin.

"Yeah, well not that much because I don't think that girl took a breath for the last two hours." I groaned and he started the car.
