I was walking on the grass outside the school waiting for Thalia or someone I know to come.

"Wow how could you even walk without Percy here to tackle all your problems?" I heard a voice ask behind me, ugh not again.

"What do you want, Seth?" I asked, not even looking behind me.

"Listen, we never got to finish what we started yesterday." He said.

"Ya, and trust me I don't want to." I said, still looking forward.

I could hear him coming closer to me, and then I felt him wrap his arm around my waist.

"Are you sure about that?" He whispered in my ear.

"Get off!" I said pushing out of his grasp. "I'm sure! Now get away from me."

"Oh come on Annabeth! You're the only girl in the school that doesn't want me! Kiss me." He yelled.

"No," I said again.

"You can't stay away from me forever, trust me Babe. I have my ways." He winked and started walking away backwards.

What he didn't know is that when he put his arm around my waist I saw that he had a tattoo that said Σκοτάδι, Darkness.

Why would a mortal have Greek on him arm? And how could a mortal hide it from all the teachers? Could Seth be a demi-god? But why haven't we seen him at Camp?

"Hey, why do you look like you have a thousand thoughts running through your head? Oh ya! Because you always do!" I heard Thalia laugh from behind me.

I turned around and smiled.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing." I lied.

"Oh, ok did you hear that Aphrodite's going to try to spice up both our love lives?" She groaned.

"Don't we have Silena for that?" I laughed.

"For what?" I heard a guy's voice ask behind us.

"Nothing." Thalia and I said at the same time.

We turned around and saw Percy, Grover, and Nico all standing behind us.

"We should problely get to class before Ms. Randall kills us." Nico said.

We all started walking to class when Percy stopped me. "What did Seth want?"

"What?" I asked, trying to sound like I had no clue what he was talking about.

"I saw that back there, Annabeth. What happened?" He asked. He actually sounded like he cared.

"Nothing, Percy, nothing. Don't worry, I'm a big girl. I can stand up to Seth Elosea." I smiled, putting my hand on his arm.

"A lot of girls say that Annabeth. Then the next day I see them making out with Seth behind the lockers." He said.

"Percy, you really think that I'm the kind of girl that would make out with Seth behind the lockers?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I just don't want to see you get hurt, Annabeth." He said.

"Fine, Percy Jackson, I promise on the River Styx not to fall for Seth Elosea. Ok?" I asked.

"Wait, did you just say you promise on the River Styx?" He asked.

"No. What is that?" I said, hoping he would believe it. Good thing I took acting classes when I was 14.

"Oh, nothing. Thanks." He smiled. Good now he thinks he's going crazy I just can't win here!

"We should probably get to class. I think we missed Homeroom with Ms. Randall. All though I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing." I said.

"Come on." Percy smiled.

We walked into the school right when passing period started.

We caught up with Thalia, Nico, Grover and started walking to Math.

"Hey, Percy." I heard Rachel say behind us. "Where were you? I didn't see you in homeroom."

"No wher-"

"He was with me." I said, walking up to Rachel so I was right in front of her.

"Oh, Really." She said, crossing her arms.

"Yes, really. Do you have a problem with that, Red?" I asked, with an innocent smile on my face.

"Yes, I have a problem with that, Blondie!" She said, then brought her voice down so that only I could hear her. "Stay away from him, he's mine."

I could see Thalia smirking behind me as Rachel walked away.

"You know she may be a jerk," Nico started, watching her go down the hall. "But she's a hot jerk."

He just shrugged and started walking down the hall.

There is something very wrong with that boy.

Finally! The school week is finally over.

"Hey, do you want to hang out before we go to Thalia's?" I heard someone ask behind me, I turned around and saw Percy smiling at me.

"Um…ya, sure." I smiled.

"I know this great ice cream place if you want to come."

"Sure,"

"Hey!" I heard someone yell from behind me, Déjà vu huh?

"We want to come too!" Nico yelled.

I smiled as they all walked up to us.

"Or do you guys want some alone time?" Thalia smirked.

Remind me to kill her later.

"Chocolate."

"Vanilla."

"Chocolate."

"Vanilla."

"Chocolate!"

"Vanilla!"

Right now Thalia and Nico are fighting about which is better, Chocolate or Vanilla.

"Can we just say Twist is the best and stop fighting about his?" Grover said, looking down at his rocky-road ice cream.

I smiled knowing Grover will always be the peace maker.

"Fine." They both said at the same time.

"But Chocolate is better." Nico smirked.

We ate our ice cream then headed to Thalia's house.

"Ok, Annabeth, the living room is that way, kitchen is that way, bathroom is that way, and you can put your stuff in my room." Thalia said.

"Sure," I said, taking my stuff in my hand. "And that room is?"

"Sorry, it's up the stairs to the right." Thalia said.

"Here, let me help." Percy smiled, grabbing my bag and leading me up the stairs.

I followed him up the stairs and into Thalia's room. He set my stuff on the bed and turned around, the bad part? I was there and I mean right there.

I could feel his breath on my lips, if I just moved my head a little bit. No! Bad Annabeth! You don't think like that about Percy!

"Sorry," Percy said, putting a hand on my arm and taking a step back.

"It's fine," I said, looking down.

We heard the doorbell ring and someone answer it.

"Annabeth? I think that this is for you." Thalia called.

I walked down the stairs and looked out the door and saw…I hate that stupid goddess of love.

I know, I know! It's a bad chapter but at least I up dated sorry again.

I really am.

But can anyone guess what is at the door?
