I dunno if I'll have enough time to update, and if I do, I don't know if I should bring my computer. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to do zee poll! :)

also: VERY IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE AT THE END! MAKE SURE TO READ!


Annabeth's POV

" Jason!"

" Block that gun!"

" Ah! Knife!"

" Shoot were running out of food!"

" Percy!"

" You're so stupid!"

" Gahhh!"

I woke up groggily to the sound of Jason and Percy shouting random things from the living room, and I think they were playing video games. I reached over and grabbed my phone from the nightstand table. I turned on the screen, and it read 5:45. What?! How are they so hyper this early in the morning!? I signed as a got out of bed. There was no use in trying to go back to sleep now. I grabbed my glasses from the table, and headed towards the bathroom.

I flicked on the light, and looked at myself in the mirror. I let out a sigh. I looked really tired. I had stayed up late, after watching Finding Nemo with Percy, trying to finish designing some buildings, and the rest of my homework.

It was mornings like these that I praised makeup. But not makeup like you probably think. Being a demigod, I can bend tiny amounts of the Mist to my will, which in this case, is to make me look more awake. Most don't know this, but the few who do probably look great all the time. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and put my contacts in. Then, I tried tackling my hair. After ten minutes, four gigantic knots, and a full head of frizzy hair, I decided to just wear my hair in a braid. I walked to the closet where my clothes were, and pulled out a plain grey t-shirt, dark blue skinny jeans, and my white converse. I checked the time. 6:00. Plenty of time.

When I walked out of the guest bedroom, I headed towards the living room where the boys were playing video games. Jason, Percy, Leo, and Frank were all in the living room, watching the T.V. like at any second, it was gunna sprout legs and walk away. I walked over and sat next to Frank who was sitting on the couch by himself. Jason and Percy were playing, and Leo and Frank were watching.

"What are you guys playing?" Frank looked at me.

"Oh, well, Jason found this game that's about demigods. It's really accurate, so we thought maybe a demigod created it. It's all about trying to survive and level upping. The last battle is literally a recreation of the battle with Gaea. Like, I think I saw Dakota in the background one time. It's really freaky."

"Huh." I sat there for about fifteen minutes staring at the T.V. Watching them play was starting to make me hungry, so I decided to get something to eat.

"Okay, well you guys have fun. I'm getting some breakfast."

I got off the couch, and walked to the kitchen. I opened the cabinet and got a bowl for some cereal. I grabbed the milk from the refrigerator, and the Lucky Charms from the pantry. I sat down, and played on my phone while eating my cereal.

After I finished eating, I put everything in the sink, and headed back to my room to brush my teeth. I pulled my phone out, and checked the time. 7:45. I walked back into the living room, and realized all the boys were still wearing their pajamas.

"Um guys, it's 7:45. We have to leave in like ten minutes if we want to get to school on time." They all looked at me, then the clock, and then back at me, and then the clock. It seemed to go like that for hours. Then, they all sprang up at once.

"Shoot! Shootshootshootshoot!"

"I'm gunna be late again!"

"I didn't even finish the homework last night!"

"I'm gunna have to walk into Mrs. Walter's classroom late!"

I just stared as Leo and Frank rushed out of the apartment, and Percy and Jason ran around trying to get ready.

As they were getting ready, me, Hazel, and Piper were sitting in their apartment talking, and acting like we had all the time in the world. It was really funny watching Frank and Leo running around trying to find socks, brushing their teeth while combing their hair, and my personal favorite of them all, realizing they didn't have pants on.

By 7:55, the boys were all ready. Us girls had gone ahead, because we didn't want to be late. We had a few minutes to spare by the time we got to school. The bell rung, and I pulled my books out, and walked to class.

I was really excited when the bell for third period rung to signify the end of math. I had P.E. next, and I couldn't wait to spar Seaweed Brain. I quickly rushed to my locker to put my books in and grab my dagger. I slipped it in my bag, and walked to the locker rooms with Piper.

"So, you excited for sparring?"

"Yes! I can't wait to use the obstacle course! It looks like a lot of fun. I seriously think they spent more time on that one, then the one at camp."

"I know! Jason was talking a lot about it, and he was telling me strategies on how he plans to get to the button first."

"Ha. Lemme guess, he wants to fly?"

"Yup." I smirked.

We quickly got dressed, and walked out. I made sure my dagger was tucked in my shoe. Percy and Jason were standing with some other students, who I didn't know very well, but apparently, hung out with the rest of the crew. I think their names are K.J (her real name is Katherine James), Tayla, her twin brother Simon Mills, Jon Steele, and Owen Murphy.

"Hey guys." Piper waves at them.

"Sup, Piper." Jon, I think, waves back. Tayla looks at me.

"You must be Annabeth Chase. Percy has said sooo much about you." She held out her hand.

I grin and shake her hand, "Oh? Has he now."

"Yup. Can you seriously kick his butt at sword fighting?"

"Oh yeah. I'd like to see him try and best me."

"Oh, it's on Wise Girl."

Just then, Coach Hedge walked in, and blew the whistle.

Soon enough, we were warming up and getting ready for sparring.

"So cupcakes! I believe yesterday, we left off with Percy and Annabeth? Good. Let's get started!"

He pressed the button on the side of the wall, and the curtain lifted to reveal the obstacle course. Percy and I took our swords and walked over to Coach Hedge. He waved us closer and lowered his voice.

"Listen cupcakes, I've been smelling demigod, and I thought it was because of you guys, but when you guys left, and I asked some kids to help me put stuff away afterward, I still smelt it. Just be on the look out, got it?"

We both nodded. He pushed us towards the platform.(If you need a reminder of the obstacle course, I suggest going back and reading the last chapter). I stood on my side of the platform, and tried psyching myself up.

"You're going down Seaweed Brain!"

"Ha! You wish!"

"Ready cupcakes? On your mark! Get set!... Go!"

We raced off. I jumped onto of the first platform, and started hacking away at the dummies. I could hear Percy beside me doing the same. I finally see the end of the platform. Shoot. There's only one rope, and two of us. Well, Percy's taller. He's just gunna have to jump. I jump off the platform and grab on to the rope.

As I let go, I flip in midair, and tuck my knees under me as I roll onto the next platform. I turn just in time to see Percy jump from the first platform. He looks like he's diving in the middle of the air, then quickly tucks into a ball as his body nears the second platform. I don't wait to see how he lands, I'm busy calculating which way I should go.

Top tier, or bottom with the wipeout looking thing? Eh. Always up for a good challenge. Plus, I've got some time.

I rush around the top tier, and stop just in front of the wipeout thing. Here goes nothing. The thing swings around, and I quickly jump on it. There's another one just above. It comes swinging around, so I do an aerial straight over it. I run, then roll under the top one as it comes around again. I quickly get up, then sprint to the end. I jump on to the last platform. I'm breathing hard, and I can hear a lot of the kids cheering.

I turn around in time to see Percy jump in front of me with his sword raised. I quickly duck, and try hitting his hand with the butt of my sword, but he moves just in time. Oh boy. He starts to strike, I move. He tries to kick, I jump. He goes to swing, I duck. He tries the same things on me.

We know each other too well. We know each other's moves even before the other does.

I try a drop kick as he swings to my head. I manage to make him stumble, only slightly, but that's all I need. As he leans forward, I try and grab his sword. But once I grab it, he grabs my leg.

I go down, and he goes down.

Both our swords roll a few feet sway. As I try to get up, he grabs my leg again, and I fall back. He gets up and runs toward my sword. I jump up, and as he bends down to get my sword, I use his back, and do a cartwheel straight over. I grab his sword and roll. I jump back up, and race to my side where I put his sword in my basket as he does the same.

The last task is to climb up a rock wall, but the rocks are supposed to be spaced just out of reach. I need a plan, and quick.

As he starts the climb, I pull his sword and my sword out of the baskets, then I race to the rock wall. He's almost to the platform. I'm pretty sure he's half monkey. Like, seriously. I grab his sword, a stab it in the wall. Then I use my upper body strength to pull myself up. I repeat, until I'm almost caught up to Percy. I can hear the people screaming and cheering in the back ground, but right now, all I need to do is push that red button on that platform, and I'll have beat Percy.

The platform is right above the last rock which means, you have to use your arms to swing up onto the platform. Percy makes it onto the platform as I make it up the last rock.

I have to think quick.

I fling Percy's sword as he goes to push the button. His hand stops as the sword lands in front of him. I quickly jump on the platform as he spins around with his sword in his hand. If I can turn him around, I can push the button.

I start to circle him, but he's smarter than he looks. He gets what I'm trying to do. Instead of moving, he lunges. I parry. I go to kick him in the chest, but he blocks with the handle of the sword, and pushes. I stumble slightly, and almost fall of the edge, but I dive at Percy's feet. He goes tumbling, and I'm back up again. I'm so close to hitting the button, but then, I hear Coach Hedge.

"THE BUTTON WON'T GO OFF UNLESS BOTH SWORDS ARE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE BASKET. YOU GOT TO CLIMB BACK DOWN NOW!"

Shoot. Unless... I look down to where the basket is. It's not to far. I think I can make it. I do have a somewhat good aim. I hear Percy get up. He walks to the edge. He knows what I'm thinking. He transforms his sword back into a pen.

"That's not fair!"

"Uh. You've basically beat me the entire time. Spare me Wise Girl?"

"Whatever. As long as it's in sword form in the basket."

"Oh come on!"

"Or you can climb back down..."

"Fine! Deal!"

I take my careful aim. So does Percy. Im calculating how far, wide, the strength needed. I have it now. Percy chucks his pen. I throw my dagger. They both sail through the air. Everyone holds their breath. The dagger and the pen are spinning for what seems like hours. Getting closer, and closer, and closer, and closer, and... they make it in! Everyone starts cheering! Wait?! I spin to look at Percy.

We both run towards the button.

He's there first. As his hand goes to slam on the button, I think fast. I jump up, and side kick while spinning slightly. My foot comes into contact with Percy's hand just as it goes to slam on the button. As he's recovering from the shock, I lunge at the button.

BEEEEP!

I'm smiling. Everyone's cheering. Percy looks at me, and then wraps me in a big hug. He kisses my forehead.

"Good job Wise Girl."

"Thanks. Not to bad yourself Seaweed Brain." He smiles at me. We walk to the other side of the platform were a rope is waiting. I climb down first, but half way, decide to freak everyone out.

They all stop cheering, and gasp as I let go of the rope half way down. It's a good eight feet down, but that's easy. It's like accidentally falling of the rock climbing wall. You end up learning how to catch yourself in the end.

As the ground nears, I tuck and roll. I pop up, and give them all a big smile. They are all staring at me like I'm crazy. I hear Percy jump from the rope, and start laughing.

"Annabeth! I think you scared them!" He's laughing really hard now.

The tension loosens up a bit, and they all start laughing too.

~~~Lunch~~~

I sit down at the table and start munching on my pizza. Percy, Jason, and Owen are having a conversation about swimming, K.J, Tayla, and the other girls from the crew are talking, and Simon, Nico, Frank, and Jon are talking about mythomagic. I walk over to the girls.

"What do you think about your camp? Judging from what you all say, it sounds awesome!" Tayla says.

"Yeah, it's great and all, but there's a big price you have to pay." Hazel says.

"Like how much? If it's as great as you say, I wouldn't mind paying a higher price."

"Oh. Geez. The prices are really big. It's like paying with your life. Seriously. It's huge."

"Oh. Maybe I'll ask my parents someday."

I sit next to Piper, and say hi to Tayla and K.J.

"So Annabeth, we saw you kick some serious butt today! Where did you learn to fight like that!" Tayla is really talkative.

"Um, at camp."

"So I'm guessing you guys all know each other because of camp?"

"Yeah. Pretty much."

"Is that where you meet Percy."

"Yeah."

"Ooh! Annabeth! You have to tell the story of how you guys meet to K.J. and Tayla!" Piper said.

"Well, I was twelve, and minding my own business when I went to help my friend Will with work. He worked at the infirmary at camp, so, I helped him out a little. About ten minutes into volunteering, four guys carrying a cot rushed in. On it, was a twelve year old boy. Apparently, his mom was driving him here, when a rather large...er...cow stopped in the middle of the road. The car flipped, and the mom was severely injured...? The boy wasn't too badly hurt, and the four guys had been...walking... in the woods when it happened. Since the boy was okay, and just unconscious, the four guys decided to take him to the camp infirmary. I was the one who nursed the boy back to health. When he woke up, I asked him about himself. He said his name was Percy Jackson, he was twelve years old, and...um... he said... he wantedtobemy friend...?" I made a face...I don't think that sounded believable.

Okay, well apparently my story sounded realistic enough to K.J. and Tayla, but Piper and Hazel were obviously trying so hard not to laugh.

"Awww! That's so sweet!" Tayla squealed.

For the rest of lunch, we talked about camp, and what we did there.

~~~~History~~~~

Me and Percy were working on our project. We had changed our idea, to a subject that was usually untouched, but was taught pretty frequently at camp. We decided to do our project on monsters, everything you need to know. We had just started to work on our project when there was a knock on the door. All the students turned to the door. Percy groaned. It was Percy's stepdad, Paul Blofois.

"Mrs. Walter! Sorry to interrupt, but I heard you were doing your unit on Greek mythology, and just had to stop by!" Paul said dramatically. Percy face palmed.

"Oh! How kind of you!"

"Yes, I just wanted to let you know, if you need any help with the unit, you should ask Frank, or Percy, or Annabeth for help! Their parents are practically Olympians themselves!" Mrs. Walter let out a laugh.

"Oh really? Do you children speak any Greek?" All three of us nodded. The kids around us stared.

"Well, how about you speak some to us? I bet we would all love to hear!"

Me, Frank, and Percy walked to the front of the classroom. We basically talked to each other about how we would hatch a plan to get Paul later, and just because Percy thought it was funny that no one else knew what we were saying, he added a couple of not so nice words to the end.

All the kids stared at us in awe. Mrs. Walter thanked us and we sat down. Paul smirked at us, and said goodbye.

"Have fun! Oh! And word of advice Mrs. Walters! If one of the children correct you about the Olympians, you may want to listen! They all have anger issues and get upset when they're not right!" Mrs. Walter a quizzical look before he left. She turned to stare at us, while we gave her looks that basically meant 'we're innocent andPaul is telling lies'.

Percy sighed, and then smacked his face into the desk. Repeatedly.

"I, Percy Jackson will forever be a joke! Paul purposely did that! Ungggh!"

"At least it wasn't like the first time he found out about the Greek world." Frank shivered.

"Frank, don't even start." I smirked at Percy as his head shot up from the desk to scold Frank.

The rest of the school day went by in a flash, and I couldn't believe it when the last bell rang.

As usual, Jason and Piper stayed, while Hazel, Frank, Leo, Me, and Percy walked home. Nico had been shadow traveling a lot lately, and it was making Percy suspicious. He thinks it has something to do with a girl. He obviously doesn't remember the convo when Nico told him he liked him. He can be so mindless sometimes... I told him to leave it alone, and he dropped the subject.

When we finally got home, I collapsed on the bed. I sat there for a few minutes trying to enjoy the little bit of freedom I had before I got started on the homework. My mind started to wander, and I ended up thinking about prom.

Just yesterday, Percy had asked me, and I was excited. Just one problem. I didn't know what I was going to wear. I remember that Aphrodite told me she everything planned out, but that kinda scared me considering her favorite color is pink. I shivered at the though of me being dressed in all pink. I decided not to think on it to much for right now, I mean, I had two days anyways. It'll be fine... right?


Hellllllooooooo! I hope this was okay, I dunno. Please make sure to review and tell meh if you enjoyed this or naw!

Okay, now that I have hopefully got your attention, I have two things:

1) I was thinking about making this into a story, story. Like, I know it's a story about prom and everything, but I add the new characters (Tayla, Simon, Owen, Jon, & K.J.) and I was thinking about turning them into demigods or something, and letting the story keep going after the prom and stuff. If you think this is an idea I should try, please, please, PLEASEEEEE, let me know.

2) Small note, I would really appreciate it if you guys did the poll. I've only got like 4 ppl who've done it. It's on my profile if you can't find it.
