Hi! I'm back. Thank you all for the reviews. You don't know how thankful I was. I was giggling and laughing like a little girl getting a set of new clothes. (::) (:::) cookies for everyone! :D I am still in writers block, but not that much. I think it's because my teacher gives me too much homework. On the first day of school, she gave us a poster, a letter, a page of writing and a gingerbread man collage thingy.

1 shout out,

To flyingfox318 (aka my BFF): I don't think anything can break up the strong love that bonds between the two, so I'm sorry but that won't happen. And, I do realize that 318 are the numbers in Ick's email! (That is not something that I need you others to understand)

Okay, sorry about that note. You guys can skip it if you haven't reviewed, I won't shout anything out to those who haven't reviewed. The idea of this chapter was given to me by luv2read4reading.

And sorry about that, too. :D

Okay, that's enough. On with the story.

Chapter 7

Annabeth's POV

Today, Mr. Galany assigned a math project. Jennifer wasn't there for some reason, so I was paired up with this really nice guy named Ethan. He was smart and funny, but he was also very obnoxious to people who were checking me out. I don't know why, he didn't seem to like me as a crush so I think he just wanted to be my friend. Later, I told Percy about our project and he shrugged like it was no big deal so I was not very concerned. He said something about going over to his friends place.

-Time Skip-

At Percy's house, we set up our work zone and started working on the project. Suddenly, I heard a footstep. I turned around. From my years from camp, I knew that footstep was not supposed to be heard by me. I shrugged it off and turned back to face Ethan. He looked at me with confused eyes and later turned away, blushing. What was that about? Eh, nothing much probably. Then, I heard a scream. My first thought, monster!, my second thought, someone tripped…, No, monster. I ran outside to see Percy holding Riptide panting heavily, his broad chest moving up and down. His muscles flexed and his gorgeous sea green eyes… Sorry, I got distracted. Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah. Gold dust was scattered everywhere in the backyard. I raised an eyebrow.

"Empousai." He explained.

"How many?" I asked.

"2, not too many."

"Oh, well I was surprised. Your girlish screams?"

"The Empousai were screaming. Not m-" He was interrupted by a male voice.

"What was that?" I turned to find a pale Ethan, shaking with fear.

"What was what? I snapped my fingers, "Those were ladies who wanted to steal um, those flowers and Percy scared them away." Percy tried to hide his laughter. It didn't work.

"No, those were scary monster things!" He yelled. I could hear his frustratedness in his voice.

"Percy, do you think he's a demigod?" I said in Greek.

"Yes, I think so." He replied.

"Wait, you mean, those half god, half human kids?" Ethan asked. I was stunned. He knew Ancient Greek!

"Yes. Do you have dyslexia or ADHA?" I asked.

"I only have ADHA." He replied.

-Time Skip-

Finally, we settled this issue and contacted Chiron. He told us to bring him tomorrow and for us to protect him until that point. We decided to continue our project, and I got to persuade Percy to go to his friend's house.

After a while, he asked me about a question. He quickly murmured something that I didn't catch. I heard something like "Will yiugosmuout wiehhu me?

"Yes, that is correct." I replied, because he asked me about the right answer. But, I never knew there was a person eavesdropping on us.

Percy's POV

After that incident with another demigod, I decided to listen on their conversation. It was so boring, I fell asleep. After an hour, when I awoke, all soggy and drowsy, Ethan said something that woke me up completely.

"Will you go out with me?" (AN: Percy heard it clearly because he was closer to him.)

"Yes-"Annabeth replied. She said something else, but I was too mad to listen. Oh my gods. Did I just hear Annabeth cheat on me? How dare that stupid Ethan guy ask her on a date! How dare Annabeth go after him instead of sticking to me? I hate Annabeth! I hate Ethan even more! I thought as I swore, each time louder and louder.

That was pretty long. Sorry for the wait. School was busy so I didn't have much time. Oh, and my birthday was last week! This is a very good birthday present. Some of you guys will ask, What? Yes, a lot of people reading my story was a great birthday present! Please Review! Live, Laugh, and Love!
