Sorry that quite a few of these are in Percy's POV. Annabeth's POV is coming soon.

Chapter 7

Percy's POV

I left Annabeth to sleep as I went off for an early morning swim practice with the team. I kissed her forehead before going out my room. I grabbed an apple and walked to Goode. It was 7am by the time I got there. The guys were all waiting for me as I got Paul's keys to practice in the pool.

"Morning." Matt said, yawning. "Morning guys." I said, unlocking the doors. We all went in and went to the pool. I opened the indoor pool doors and let the guys go in. We all put our stuff on the bleachers and stripped down to our speedo's.

"So how do you feel about West Stirling High competing?" Robby asked, warily. I didn't answer so the guys guessed I was not happy about it. "Perce, it's fine! I don't care about them breaking my leg so you shouldn't!" He said, looking at me.

"But don't you guys get it! They're going to do something again this year. We can't let them win." I said, looking at my hands. "Can we just swim otherwise we're all going to be upset the rest of today." James said, stretching his arms.

I agreed and jumped into the pool. After a couple laps we started to joke around some more. We swam for another hour before taking a break. I sat on the side of the pool while the others stayed in the pool. I heard a little sound from my phone. "You should check that it's probably Annabeth." Matt said, smirking as he got out the pool and walked to his bag to get his water bottle.

"Can you bring it for me?" I asked. He nodded and got my iPhone. He came back and gave it to me then jumped back into the pool and joined our little circle. I checked my messages and sure enough it was Annabeth.

Your bed is so cold to wake up to without you here xox - WiseGirl

I smiled at the message. "What she say?" Robby asked, taking the phone from my hands. They all checked the message and smirked at me. My phone started buzzing and a picture of Annabeth came on the screen. She was calling me. The guys put it on speaker phone and answered the call.

"Hey Perce! Did you go to swim practice?" She asked. I smiled at the sound of her voice. "Yeah. You missing me already?" I asked, cockily. I could practically see her rolling her eyes. "No Seaweed Brain, I finally have peace and quiet in this house. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to spend the afternoon with my mom so don't worry if I'm not here when you get back." She said.

I sighed and said, "What can I do this afternoon then?" She chuckled and replied, "Hang out with the guys. Im sure you four could find something guy-ish to do." I smiled at the guys. "Annie! Are we going to bake cookies now? Oh, is that Percy? Hi Percy!" I heard my sister saying in the background.

We all chuckled. "Yeah. I'm coming now, I'll see you in the kitchen." She said. I heard Selena say something and then walk off. "Gotta go. I love you Percy." She said then sighed. I smiled. "Love you too, bye." Then hung up.

"That's so adorable!" A voice said. We turned and saw Jenna, Tiffany and Nikita coming into the indoor pool area. "Hey Jen!" Robby said, getting out and walking to her. She held p a finger as he was about to hug her and said, "Don't." He frowned and stepped away. She smiled and kissed his cheek. "I don't want to get wet!" She said, waving her hands in the air then walking to the bleachers.

He got back in the pool and joined us again. Nikita took my phone for me and put it on my things. I thanked her. "Can I join you guys?" Tiffany asked, putting her hands in her pockets. "Sure." Matt said, smiling at her. She winked at him and walked towards the girls change rooms.

"Is there something going on between you and Tiff?" I asked, raising an eyebrow and smirking. "Uh, we went out last night." He said, looking at his hands nervously. "Awesome! So are you guys going out?" James asked. He shrugged. "I don't know. She never said anything after we kissed." Our eyes widened as he said that.

"You guys kissed?" Robby asked. "She told us it was the best kiss ever. We weren't supposed to tell anyone but she has wanted to date you since forever." Jenna said, smiling at us. Just then she came back. "What we talking about?" She asked, dropping her bag on the bleachers next to the girls.

"Nothing, we were just going to start swimming." James said, nodded and dived in. Matt watched her the whole time. She was actually a really good swimmer. She had blue eyes and blonde brown hair. She was not easy to tire when we did laps.

We all started swimming again. Another two hours passed and we decided that we had had enough practice. We all got changed. Matt was getting dressed surprisingly quickly. "See you now now." He said and rushed out the room. We all exchanged glances and smirked, knowing the reason. Just as we were walking out the rooms the girls bumped into us. They shushed us and told us to listen.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Tiff asked. "I wanted to talk about last night. Maybe we could start-" he was cut off by something. We all peeked and saw them kissing. The girls squealed and I fist bumped the guys. They broke apart after a bit and smiled at each other. Jenna had to ruin the moment by running up to Tiff and practically jumping on her. "I'm so happy for you two!" She said, bouncing up and down.

We all joined them and we all walked out the pool area. Matt and Tiffany held hands as we walked out the school. I locked the door and caught up with the rest of them. "So where is Annabeth? I thought you guys were joined at the hip." Nikita asked sarcastically.

"She is spending the afternoon with her mom." I said, shoving my hands in my pockets. Then a yellow cab pulled into the parking lot and I saw Annabeth jump out. She ran over to us and I got more confused. "I thought you were going to your mom's?" I asked confused.

She smiled at me and passed me a tub. "Paul and Selena were eating all the cookies so I brought you some. Also I wanted to tell you that your mom and Paul are going out for dinner tonight so we're looking after the kids tonight. I might only get home at five so feel free to order anything." She said. I smiled and said, "Sure." She turned to walk back to the cab but I caught her wrist. "Wait, do you have to go to your mom?" I pleaded.

She smiled and shook her head. "Yes Percy, I promised her I would. We are working on a lot of new buildings. I promise I will try get home early. Love you." She said, kissed me then walked back to the cab.

I sighed as she drove off. I turned to my friends and asked, "So what are we doing today?"
