Apparently you can fracture your armpit bone. I did not know that, thank you Abaratian Oddity for that wonderful piece of information. I'll remember to be more careful now.

[Percy's POV]

Waking up was never exactly hard for Percy, staying awake was. Usually with a couple cups of coffee (4 and a 5 hour energy) he'd be ready-set for the day; but today none of that was necessary. He was up and running by six AM - by running, I mean literally running, something he hadn't done since his freshman year in high school. Percy was excited, he'd be helping the freshman year get to know each other - and well, basically get out of class.

By 8:30 he was out of the shower, dressed, and pulling on a beanie as he walks out the door. As he's locking his door, the one to his right opens:

"-Beckendorf and Silena are getting married - no, I don't know I jus- yeah I just got the invitation through the mail this morning it's really elegant." Percy smiled, he recognized that voice, he'd been talking to her for the past two weeks. Although this time it wasn't muffled by a wall. "Sure, ok. I'll see you there. Later bebs." The door closed and a blonde girl turned, faced directly at Percy. "Hello."

"Hello." This was honestly not how he imagined Annabeth. Curly blonde, sun-kissed skin, and analyzing grey eyes. "You're very, very fit." Son of a bitch, where are you when I need you? Stupid social skills. Percy thinks, eyes widening, hand over his mouth,

Annabeth gives out a giggle, and her cheeks redden. "Thank you, you're not too bad yourself." Percy's cheeks flush and Annabeth giggles again. "You're headed to school?"

"Yeah," he manages to say.

"C'mon then." Annabeth tugs at his satchel strap and pulls him towards the lift. "You know I envisioned you much older."

Percy laughs and hits the down button, "How old do you think I am?"

"Hm, I don't know, 23?"

"Nope, sorry." The bell dings and the lift doors open.

"Twenty-two?"

"Nuh-uh."

"Twenty-one."

"Nooo."

They walk through the lobby and out of the revolving doors (that Percy may or may not have gotten stuck in). By the time they've made it down to the car park, Annabeth's in a fit of giggles and Percy's made a fool of himself one too many times to count.

"You want a ride?" He asks leaning against the hood of his Mazda.

"You could be a serial killer," Annabeth smirks.

"I prefer the term 'multiple eternal nap influence-r,'" Percy grins.

"O-m-g," she laughs again. "My mom always said not to trust strangers."

"Well, she probably said not to talk to strangers as well but you've been talking to one for the past two weeks."

"Alright."

"Alright?"

"Yeah, why not?" She shrugs and opens the passenger door. Percy gets in as well, turning the ignition on.

"Don't worry, I'll be good," he jokes.

Annabeth snorts (Percy thinks it's cute), "If you try anything I'll have you on the floor so fast that you'll be seeing stars for two weeks straight."

Percy's brow crinkles thoughtfully," Well, you know, that could actually be takes to ways..."

"Percy!"

+x+

In the time that it takes them to get to school they've played two rounds of 20 Questions, where Percy's learned some very valuable information that he's quick to store in "Must Remember" part of his brain. As they're walking to class Annabeth is explaining how the spider fiasco started from two weeks ago, "They were fucking huge, I swear and hairy and-"

"Thalia said they were daddy long legs," Percy interrupts with a raised eyebrow.

"Shut up. What class do you have?"

"I've gotta go to the freshmen psychs class, hep them to get to know each other and whatnot."

"That's where I'm headed," Annabeth grins.

"I'll see you there then," Percy says. "Gotta go get some stuff and meet up with my partner."

"Alright, bye." Annabeth gives him one last smile before walking away.

"Dude," Jason greets as Percy jogs into the rec room. "You're late."

"Hello to you too, and I'm not late it's 8:57!"

"Yeah, but you were supposed to be here eight minutes ago," his cousin smirks. "But no worries, you had other things to do, like walk the Human Computer to school."

"Hey," Percy warns.

"What? She's 17 years old."

"How do you know that?"

"Piper talked to her yesterday, apparently she bonked her with a door."

"Oh, anyways I told you that I'd get her to at least go on a date with me, getting to know her is step one for me to grandpa's Ferrari for the month."

Jason laughs and grabs his backpack, "C'mon then loverboy, let's get this show on the road."
