I had alot of fun with this chapter and I hope you love it. When I was thinking about where I was going to take this story I discovered that all the female characters that I've introduced so far have names that start with A.

I hate when people use chapters to get reviews- so I am not going to do that :)- instead I have decided to make a deal with anyone who decides to read my story.

If I get 10 reviews by Monday, then my next update will be twice as long as most of the chapters that I post. If I don't get that many reviews, then I will just post my filler chapter.

Thanks for reading and reviewing! ++Im going to have my characters play some games later in the story- if you have any ideas for games then post them in your reviews:: so far I am going to use truth or dare and spin the bottle :) eennnjjooyyy.

- ALL THE CHARACTERS BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN. I DO NOT OWN PJO OR ANY OTHER RICK RIORDAN SERIES!

Percy's P.O.V

I have officially established that I am an amazing swimmer. Not be all 'big headed' but I literally ROCK at it. I could tell people were staring as I glided through the water. Even Annabeth looked a bit impressed when I jetted past her. I didn't find the need to take breaths, and eventually wasn't breathing at all several laps at a time. I didn't want to freak out the Coach, so I turned my head to the side a few times, pretending to get air. I had to tell Jacoby and Castillo about this.

When Coach told us we were dismissed, he called me over.

"Where did you learn to swim like that son? I would love it if you could join our Smalls Prep swim team."

"I will consider it, I guess." I felt like I had to tell Annabeth about this. For some reason, I felt closer to her than some of these other strangers. Tonight at camp I will tell some of my new friends. I guess it isn't that big of a deal, but being invited to join seemed like something special. But this Coach guy seemed like a serious asshole. I jolted out the door and strutted down the hallway to the locker room. I heard shouting that sounded a lot like Jacoby. I listened closer and overheard a conversation that wasn't mine to overhear.

"What do you want Jacoby?" A voice that sounded like Annabeth's said.

"You" Jacoby replied. I shivered.

"Sorry, but I'm not interested" She yelled back at him. I was kind of glad that she had rejected him.

"But dear Annabeth, I am" He said seductively. I whipped my head around the corner and started to walk towards them. Jacoby had Annabeth pinned against a wall and she looked pissed.

"Jacoby?" I shouted, distracting him, hoping Annabeth would run away. She kicked him in a place that most guys don't prefer being kicked. His face was wrinkled with pain.

"Stay away from me Jacoby" She yelled and jolted off.

"Hey Perce" He managed to say- in a soprano voice may I point out. I wanted to laugh, but this was serious. "Oh, I know that looked bad, but she really wants me." Yeah Right, I thought.

"So what was going on?" I asked. He coughed, to clear up his voice a bit and replied.

"I asked her out last year and she said no. How could she say no to ME? I am like a god at this school!" He boomed.

"So who is she?" I asked, even though I already knew.

"Annabeth Chase, the hot Californian girl. How much luckier could a guy get than having HER?" He replied.

"Hey, why don't you ask out Alyssa?" I asked, knowing that he had his eye on her.

"I never really thought of that. Thanks Perce, maybe I'll try that sometime."

I jolted into the locker room and changed back into my grey button down shirt and jeans. Next I had… lunch! I hadn't even realized how hungry I was. I was glad that I got Jacoby's mind off of Annabeth since I was really starting to like her. I walked down the winding hallway until I reached a room that was labeled 'AFERTIACE' which in my dyslexic language translates to 'CAFETERIA'. I pushed open the door to be welcomed by the smell of enchiladas. I looked around for an appealing table. I could notice the stereotypes; jocks, too-cool-to-be-cool kids, geeks, outcasts, drug addicts- etc. I found Castillo sitting at a table with Alexa, Annabeth and Alyssa. Before you could say 'run away from the psycho chick' Alexa was already staring at me.

"OMG PERCY come sit with us! PLEASE!" Alexa shouted.

I swear that I heard Annabeth say "you don't have to sound so desperate"

I chuckled and said "sure" sitting myself down next Castillo and across from Annabeth.

"Come sit next to me Percy!" She groaned.

"Um… no thanks, I'm okay." I replied and smiled. Annabeth mouthed out 'thanks' which I assumed was about the Jacoby incident earlier. I grabbed a grape off her lunch tray and laughed.

"HEY" She shouted at me. "You stole my grape!" She started laughing and I laughed along.

Castillo went to go get a lunch tray and Alexa plopped down next to me. I looked at Annabeth trying to show fake fear of psycho chicks. I popped the grape in my mouth and bit the grape in half. Before I knew it, Alexa was screaming and Annabeth was laughing so hard that I thought she would explode. Apparently, the grape had squirted juice out of my mouth and all over Alexa.

"Percy! That is so GROSS" She squeaked. I tried to hold back my laughter. She rushed off to the bathroom to 'clean up' the microscopic stain on her shirt.

"Oh my god that was hilarious" I said. Annabeth was still laughing. "Calm down Annabeth" I said jokingly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA she is so going to kill you" Annabeth said.

"Oh well, it was worth it." I sarcastically sighed.

"I'm glad I was here to watch the show" She said. Okay, I seriously liked this girl. I left momentarily to go get some lunch and returned to find a REALLY pissed Alexa.

"ANNIE, why did you laugh? It was SO TOTALLY not funny! HE RUINED MY SHIRT!"She exclaimed.

"Chill Alex, it's just a stain." She replied.

"Hey Annie, I'm going to give you something to REALLY laugh at now." Alexa shouted. She grabbed Castillo's ice cream and splattered it on my head. I was in total shock and Annabeth was not laughing. The ice cream slid from my hair, down my face and into my mouth.

"Mmm… chocolate!" I yelled. "Oh and Alexa… that was TOTALLY uncalled for" I said imitating her girly voice. I grabbed my milk box and poured half of it over her head.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" She screamed.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Castillo yelled and then the war begun.

Annabeth splattered me with beans as I squeezed the mustard bottle, covering her face in yellow condiments.

"Oh it's on Percy" She said in a determined tone.

Before I knew it I was covered from head to toe in cafeteria food. Most of the kids around me were covered as well. Annabeth still looked beautiful and I really needed a shower. Teachers had stopped the food fight, but nobody except Alexa, Annabeth, Alyssa, Castillo and I knew who started it. I cleaned up a bit and approached my next class- math. Oh what a joy this will be.
