Hi people. Yes! I am up to date in fanfiction! Buyah! So, since the last chapter, my favourites upped four people. Thank you so much for faving it!

I, for some reason, feel like going back onto FF cuz I feel like it. I'm acting strangely everyday. There's something literally wrong with me. My humour is changing, nooooooo! And also, I'm turning into a rebel. Gaaasssspp. Could Ren (GOA), the perfectionist, who always gets straight a's, who is literally perfect for no reason, become a rebel!? Okay, mah name is Ren. Call me Ren.

-Ren (or GoddessOfArchitecture, but just call me Ren. K? It's short and catchy.)


Annabeth's POV

I was worried. How could I not be worried, though? My father disliking Luke so much that it could really break our relationship in a snap. And I'm talking about both relationships. The one with my dad, and mostly the relationship between Luke and I. See, I want to become closer to Luke. We've become quite fond of each other, and I don't want to ever risk shattering it into sharp shards. I sighed out loudly. I was waiting for Luke to pick me up anyway. I told my dad that a friend was going to pick me. Though he asked who, I just said that it was a trust worthy person.

Dad had already left the house, but he had a spare key and lent over to me. I fiddle the metal keys together nervously, making sharp taps each time they connected. I heard our clock ticking every second. I finally gave up sitting on our kitchen stool and went out to watch some TV. It was early for school anyway. Lots and lots and lots of time. About a whole entire hour. Yeah, it wouldn't be worth it sitting in the kitchen for sixty minutes. I decided that I should watch something in the movie channel, since there were a lot of good movies on our subscription list.

"The Lion King," I said as the whole title appeared on the screen. I smiled. "This is going to be good." I lay my head back down on the couch until I hear my door bell ring out loudly. The noise startled me and I groaned as I headed toward the door. You know, I feel pretty lazy; I was just getting started with one of my favourite classic movies.

"Errrm... Hey! Is anyone in there?!" a boy, probably Luke, yelled from the other side.

"Just wait!" I started unlocking the door with the keys dad gave me and the door clicked open revealing- like what I predicted- Luke.

"Oh hey," I said. My feet shifted nervously underneath each other.

"Well, Annie! Time to go! Say, you sound pretty annoyed right now. Did I come here at the wrong time?" His sandy eyebrows scrunched up in concern.

"Oh! No no no!" I said and waved my arms around to show that it was no big deal. "I- I was just starting to watch The Lion King." I looked at my watch. "You know, we still have time to watch it. It's like an hour 'till school. Maybe some relaxation before school."

He laughed out loud. "Relaxation before school? Never heard of anything like that before. Er. Yeah. Sure. I'd like a little more rest before we do some hard work and stuff." And that was when I noticed how tired his eyes were. They were dark, like a storm was coming. His eyelids sagged from tiredness, causing it to turn a dark-grey colour.

"You okay, Luke? Here, I'll get some energetic food that we can eat. You look tired and all so..."

"It's okay." Now it was my turn to scrunch my eyebrows. "My mum- yeah... She's acting pretty strange lately. Like, coo coo crazy." He twisted his finger around the side of his head.

"Mhmm. You didn't have to tell me-"

"Oh no! It's okay."

That ended the conversation of 'are you okay'. I continued bringing out energy snack bars for Luke. Something like, milo, nuts and a banana. I brought a cup of coffee, too.

"Here you go." I handed all of them to him.

"Yeah, uh, thanks Annie. You're really kind."

The Lion King started to play, and we then sat back down and relaxed. We enjoyed watching the movie. I miss the movies like these. They actually had a nice plotting to them. And plus, the animation was somewhat better than the animations I now see in the modern world we live in today. The movie was a few minutes away from finishing, but I checked my watch again to see that it was time to get heading to school.

"Luke, come on. Let's go."

He groaned in protested and raised his arms from his sides.

I rolled my eyes at his laziness. "Come. On. I. Want. To. Not. Have. Absents. On. Report. Card."

And with that, we were now in his BMW listening to random music that our local radio station had put on. The bass thudded our car that it scared me. The volume was high. Well, what made it worse that the song was heavy rock, making things probably even worse than the high volume. I was sitting at the front, so I lowered the volume with a twist of my hands and clicked the buttons onto another station. Now 'Fancy' by Iggy Azalea was playing.

"Hey! I was listening to that!" Luke cried out (though he didn't sound really mad.) "And seriously, Iggy Azalea? The chick who comes from New Zeland?"

"You're going to bleed your ears out, which is more trouble than the cops getting us two arrested," I remarked then crossed my arms over my chest. "And Iggy Azalea is from Australia, but she moved here to 'Murica, and is definitely not from NZ. But seriously, my sweet, sweet Luke doesn't want to get hurt. Now does he?"

"Humph, you sound like a mother. I wonder if your mother influenced you to do those kind of things."

"Let's just sing."


Time lapse to school lunch time.

"AHAHAHAHAH!" You're probably wondered why I am laughed so hysterically. Well, let me reply to the question by heading back into time.

{~~~~~}{~~~~~}{~~~~~}{~~~~~}

It was lunch time, and I was sitting in the regular old table of my friends. Everyone; Thalia, Leo, Piper, Jason and what the freaking Hades, Percy Jackson. I'm so annoyed. Why couldn't he just hang out with his other friends, Hazel and Frank? I hope he doesn't do anything stupid while I say something, because his sparkling green eyes told me that was going to do so.

"Yo, wassup," Leo greeted with a little enthusiasm.

"Zeus," I said and sat down onto the bench.

"Woah, someone looks bluish," Percy said from the other side of the table. "What caused Annabeth Chase to look like that? And don't answer 'None of your business', 'cause that's annoying when you say that."

Thalia looked amused from what was happening from her perspective.

"None of your freaking business," I replied and smile victoriously at my food in the tray. "None of it. But I know that it is my business to see you get embarrassed in front of Rachel. And don't answer 'I will ask Rachel on a date and promise on the River of Styx that I would do so."

"I will ask Rachel on a date and promise on the River of Styx that I would do so," he said firmly. Realising what he had just done, he covered up his mouth quickly and flushed bright red. "I was not meant to say that."

Everyone started laughing while I muttered under my breath, "Idiot."

"You have to ask her on a date now, Percy," Jason stated beside me. "You know the rules with the promise. And if you break those rules, then you'll face the consequences of the Stoll brothers. Oh, and also the wrath of Octavian." Jason threw his thumb over to Octavian, who was busy tearing his teddies apart with a fake, plastic knife.

"Yeah, but-"

"I know Percy," Thalia said, acting sad. "She didn't get time to answer a real answer for you, but now you face the consequences of stupidity."

"You guys are mean," Percy whined. "Why is it always me you pick on?"

"Uh, no, Percy. It's always you picking on me so... Derp." Leo grinned mischievously. "Come on Percy. You can do it. It's just a little bit of fun. Especially for you. Balance the scales."

"Ugh fine," he grumbled looking quite ticked off. "Whatever."

We watched him as he headed toward the table where Rachel Elizabeth Dare was sitting, chatting away with all her girlfriends. From a distance, you can see that Percy looked really nervous. He scratched the back of his neck whenever he did something he thought was sheepish. We finally saw all the girls looking at him as kept talking to Rachel. I don't think he was asking out in a date yet, but finally he did. His neck turned all red from embarrassment. But something surprised us all. He knelt done on one knee and held out her hand. He said some few words and kissed the hand he was holding. He then stood up and wrote a number on her hand with his pen he took out of his back pocket.

I looked at the others sitting me and saw bewilderment and amusement in their eyes. Then suddenly we couldn't take it anymore, we started laughing out loudly at Percy's idiotic antics.

"AHAHAHAHAH!" I was laughing out loudly. How can his idiocy be that high in a rating?

Percy started coming back with an unsatisfied look on his face; his mouth was twisted down on his lips and he frowned so much that I nearly felt bad for making him do that.

"You dummy! That was a way of proposing! Not asking a girl out on a date!" Thalia exclaimed.

"And I thought I was the bad one at asking girls out!"

"Tsk tsk. Better luck next time, cousin."

"Poor, Perce. You'll get someone someday. I just know it."

"That's- hehehe- definitely not how you- hehhehehh- get a girl," I pointed out while I laughed all around.

"You seriously don't know how hard it is," he said glumly.

"Oh really?" I asked with a smirk. I suddenly had this new-found confidence. "Text me tonight. This is when everything gets messy, Jackson."

Lunch time finally was over, and I was heading to my class. I couldn't help but think about what I had said to Percy during lunch time. I really regretted it now though. What was going to happen was not the best plan I've ever made. It also made me feel guilty. Thalia now teases me about how I have to 'help' him get his crush to fall in love with him. My feet felt heavy. How about Luke? He'll probably think that I'm dating Percy- no. Annabeth Chase, don't think of that. Think of happy things. Like how Percy didn't ask Rachel the right way on a date. Like how you hang out with Luke all the time watching movies in the morning. Yeah. Just keep thinking about those things.

I am really off track. I can't think properly. And there it goes. The Annabeth Chase couldn't think properly. What have I done to myself?
