HermioneAnnabeth11: Thank you, and yes, there will be Percabeth. I mean that's basically what my life revolves around :D

Moxaleine: Thanks for the suggestion! I was totally planning on truth or dare, hence this chapter!

Death Fury: Thank you!

"Annabeth, go on ahead to the kitchen, there are some pizza and chips!" Thalia said, opening the door and welcoming Annabeth into her house. Well, to say house would be putting it lightly. Thalia's dad was Zeus Olympus, the owner of the world's most renowned electric company. Thalia, her brother, and cousin lived in the mansion alone, while her father was flying around the world. Annabeth smiled at Thalia and made her way to the large kitchen. The island was covered with an assortment of chips and candy and pizza.

She grabbed a plate and filled it up with junk food, before heading over to the game room. A decent group of people had already gathered and were arguing over what game they should play.

"Monopoly is stupid! Let's play Game of Life!" Katie Gardener said, pushing one of the Stoll brothers- Travis, Annabeth thought- over when he booed. Annabeth didn't know either of them very well, nor the other Stoll brother- Connor, but she could tell that Travis and Katie liked each other, and it was obvious that Connor knew too.

"Ew, no," A Native American girl with small braids in her hair. she was snuggled up to Jason, Thalia's slightly *younger brother, "What about truth or dare?"

(*If you're confused about the ages, Thalia is a senior, Jason is a Junior with the rest of the seven and anybody else from CHB/CJ. Nico is a freshman. Hazel is also a freshman, but she goes to a different school with Frank.)

"Dibs on being first!" Leo shouted, jumping up from his spot on his couch. The other teenagers got into a circle, shifting and moving with their heaping plates of food. Annabeth stood awkwardly in the entryway. The girl with the braids looked over and smiled.

"Hey, you must be Annabeth! I'm Piper, Thals has told me so much about you!" Piper extended her hand and Annabeth shook it, "I'm Jason's girlfriend."

"Hi, Piper. I haven't seen you around school." Annabeth commented.

"Oh, I go to Wilderness School that cinnamon roll Hazel and her boyfriend Frank," Piper said, pointing to a sweet-looking African-American girl wearing a polka dot dress. She smiled at Annabeth. The boy beside her had a face that kind of looked like a baby's, but he seemed nice enough.

"Well, I'm Annabeth, I go to Goode high with pretty much everyone else," Annabeth introduced herself with a quick glance around the room. It seemed to just be the Stolls, Katie, Grover, Jason, Thalia who slipped in, and the people she just met- No Percy.

"What did you guys decide on?" Thalia asked, popping an MnM into her mouth.

"Truth or Dare."

"Oh, risky," Thalia paused, "I like it." The doorbell rang and Annabeth felt her mind race, her heart jumping to her throat. Maybe Percy actually came. Thalia let out a long sigh, "I'll be right back, don't start the game without me."

"Okay." A few moments of incredibly awkward silence passed, quiet except for the chomping of everyone eating their food.

"Hey, Thalia. Annabeth invited me?" Annabeth heard the voice from the entrance, and she smiled. He had actually come. There were a few muttered sentences before Thalia entered the room, showing Percy in.

Percy entered the room, slowly and unsurely. Annabeth waved him over, but let out a gasp. He was sporting a huge bruise on his face.

"Woah, dude, what happened?" Leo blurted out, his eyes looking over the purple and blue bruise.

"I -uh- ran into a pole. And sorry I'm late, I had to give my mom a ride to work." Percy said, rubbing the back of his neck. Annabeth looked into his eyes, searching for an answer as to a real reason why had a large bruise and was late.

"You only have one car?" Hazel asked, looking surprised. Percy looked down, embarrassed.

"Hers broke down last week," Percy muttered. Annabeth may not be as socially inept as she would've liked, but she could tell when someone was lying, which Percy was obviously doing. And she would've pointed it out, but she also knew when to shut her mouth.

"Well, you're just in time!" Leo said, clapping Percy on the back. Percy grimaced, but turned it into a smile, "We're just about to play some games. But first, you should meet everyone." There was a quick round of introductions before everyone got into a less than organized circle.

"I'll go first," Thalia volunteered. Annabeth stayed quiet, she wasn't about to show her true feelings until she knew everybody in the room better. She wasn't about to trust strangers. Thalia looked around, narrowing her eyes as she glanced at everyone's faces, "Hmm, Annabeth, Truth or dare?"

The mentioned girl cursed inwardly, sighing, "Truth,"

"Who do you like?" Thalia asked, wiggling her eyebrows with a grin.

"Nobody," Annabeth said with ease, though she couldn't ignore how her own eyes betrayed her and flickered over to the green-eyed boy who was truly a mystery. Thalia followed her gaze for a second, but Annabeth looked her way before she could trace her look. Thalia hmphed, but then shrugged, "Whatever, your turn to ask."

"Okay, I choose Hazel," Annabeth said, smiling at the younger girl. Hazel smiled back, before choosing truth. Annabeth thought for a second, before asking her, "What is the stupidest thing that you've ever done,"

"Oh, gee, that's hard," Hazel said, thinking, "Once, when I was in second grade, I stole a chocolate bar from a convenience store."

"That's it?" Thalia asked incredulously. Hazel nodded, evidently embarrassed, "Looks like we got a goody two shoes here,"

"Sorry...Anyways my turn," Hazel continued, "Truth or dare, Percy!"

Percy, startled, looked around wildly, before answering decisively, "Dare!"

"Okay, I dare you to kiss, " Hazel looked around before her eyes settled on me and she smirked slightly, "Annabeth." The room responded with a bunch of whoops and yells, and Percy spluttered for a second.

"It's fine, Percy! You don't have to," She said, quickly, kind of scared. The others started yelling louder, with yells of 'do it, Percy'. He shook his head, and settled back onto his seat, ignoring the boos.

"Well, since you didn't do it, Hazel gets to pick again," Thalia said. The game continued for a few more rounds, until Piper let out a large sigh, "Let's play a different game, I'm bored!"

"Yes, I agree!" Annabeth said almost a little too quickly, Percy's dare still ringing in her ears.

"What about Spin the bottle," Connor suggested, a gleam in his eye. Annabeth groaned, oh gods.

-Fin-

Next chapter has Spin the Bottle! ;D

Make sure to review, and I'll make sure to get chapters out sooner.
