And I love answering reviews! Thanks :D {2nd review} OMG YOU REVIEWED TWICE! YOU'RE SO AWESOME! Ha-ha and thanks I never thought I was very good at writing until I started posting my stories here.

Just hit the little red X at the top left or right of your screen and- LOOK AT THAT! My story is gone. No one said you had to read it. Didn't mean to offend you or anything.

Different is awesome: Thank you! I spend a lot of my time on both the story and outfits so I hope people like them. :)

Artemis4eva: Thanks so much! And I might just do that :D Thanks again!

Red Vs Blue327: No one messes with Annabeth! And don't worry! You didn't offend at all! Actually, when I was reading the Percy Jackson books for the first time, I could really sympathize with Rachel about her parents and all. That' s why I never hated her as much as some people. Sure, she annoyed me but still. My parents are great and I know their only trying to do what's best for me. Anyways, thank! I worked for a long time on my OCs trying to make sure they were stupid/annoying/ curious/oblivious/snobby without really any good traits to love. Yeah, I may just a little heartless… Ha-ha-ha On another note: sorry I didn't have a lot of time to think about where the references were from! As soon as I got home I just really wanted to update! So where are the references from? I'm curious… he-he.

Iluvpercabeth: She comes in during chapter twooo! He-he thanks for reviewing!

The Low Esteemed One: Yeah, Cara's pretty heartless… but that's okay! 'Cause I wrote her that way! Ha-ha! Besides, she just ends up looking more and more stupid anyway! About Percy and Annabeth, yes I know I don't exactly have them making out in every chapter- but I would have felt weird having them do more then hold hands or something IN SCHOOL. I'm just not really into PDA. But I'll try my best! Thanks so much for the advice and review! :]

~OMG CAMP WAS AWESOME! I really did have fun! So, you'll all be happy to know I spent most of my free time writing! WOO WOO! He-he, I have fun writing too! There was this one really snobby girl in my cabin told me writing and reading was stupid, and that I should go do something important- like straighten my hair. I made a small deal with her: I wouldn't say anything about her obsessive need to straighten her hair if she wouldn't say anything about my writing. Of course, the first thing she did when she got home was post pictures of herself on her MySpace. The first thing I did? Type and post my this chapter. Just to let you know, I stayed up pasted midnight for you all. But you're worth it! Love you guys!


Part Nine

I found everyone out back. The outside was almost as awesome as the inside. It was fenced in and had an in-ground pool that took up the center of the yard. A deck that wrapped around the right side of the yard and a long garden of flowers took up the right.

I saw a mini bar on one end of the deck, by the pool and decided to spot there first. Alcohol makes everything a little hazier for me, which always results in me being able to do even more crazy things.

Once I was holding my Sex On The Beach, I scanned the back for Percy or any of the rest of his whacked out crew. I spotted them pretty quick.

Almost everyone was in the pool, expect for Percy (lucky for me) who was sitting on an edge with just his feet in the water. I couldn't help but notice how great he looked shirtless.

I shook my head and searched around for any of his psycho body guards. Annabeth, Leila, and Thalia were busy playing with Rachel, Katie, Travis, Conner, and Will. It was strange to see that none of the girls seemed to mind ruining their perfect straightened hair or make-up.

As I walked over to Percy, I saw Drew in a bikini, hovering in one of the yard's corners talking to some random boy I didn't know and Clarisse and the Hispanic guy (I learned his name was Chris) were just chilling out on the deck.

"Hey," I smiled as sat down next to Percy.

"Oh, hi," he said but didn't look at me.

Irritation flared up but I hid it well. I resting against him a little and said, "Where is everyone?"

He gave me a sideways look. Then I realized what a stupid question that was. I could see everyone swimming in the pool in front of me. "Uh… swimming," he stated, leaning away from me.

"Huh," I allowed, taking a sip from my glass and sitting up again. "Well, that's cool." Percy looked at my drink with a wary expression. "What? Want some?" I offered, holding it out.

He shook his head, "No. I'm good."

I shrugged, "Suit yourself. So, when can we get together?"

"Huh?"

"You know," I giggled, "the History project. We have to do one this coming week, too!"

"Oh, yeah," he sighed.

"When's best for you? 'Cause I'm pretty much free all this week expect for Monday. Cheerleading tryouts are Monday afternoon. I'm not sure if they're going to be during gym or just after school…" I stopped as a sudden thought came to me. "Is Annabeth trying out for cheerleading?"

To my surprise, Percy started laughing harder then I have ever seen. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Travis and Conner raise an eyebrow toward us. I realized how this could look… it could look like I had just gotten Percy to laugh… so I decided to play with the while situation.

Instead of looking taken aback by Percy's reaction, I smirked and attempted to look pleased- like I had planned it or something.

Finally, Percy collected himself enough to say. "No," he laughed a little. "No way. Annabeth won't try out for cheerleading."

"Why not?"

He shrugged, "Just not her thing."

I sighed and let it go, realizing he wasn't going to tell me anything else. I changed the subject. "So, why aren't you swimming?"

Annabeth swam up to the edge where we were sitting and started pulling on Percy's feet. "Yeah, why aren't you swimming, Seaweed Brain?" she teased.

Seaweed Brain? I wondered.

Percy smiled and slid into the water next to his girlfriend. Annabeth shot me a glare and the two of them swam off. I stood up and mentally kicked myself for not being my bikini. Of course, I didn't need it if I had enough alcohol and decided I really wanted to go swimming. I strayed over to the mini bar again, took a seat on one of the stools, and got another drink. As much as I wanted Percy, I wasn't willing to ruin my outfit in order to go swimming with him. Yet. If they were all in there long enough I might just barrow one of Danni's T-shirts.

A drop of liquid landed on my head. As I wiped the water off my forehead, I looked around to see where it might have come from. Another drop hit me. Then I realized, it was starting to rain. I ran inside as Danni started telling everyone to get out of the pool before they get stuck by lightning.

As I moved aside so I could wait for Percy, I heard all of them talking: "Yeah, because Thalia almost getting stuck by lightning happens every day," Travis joked.

Everyone laughed a little as Thalia said, "Yes, I would be fine, but Leila and Percy-"

"Point taken," Percy and Leila stated at the same time. That comment made the rest of them brake into bigger laughter.

When the thirteen of them walked through the door I (once again) died of shock. Jealousy stabbed through me for about the hundredth time in three days. How do they all stay in such good shape? I thought furiously.

Katie had a purple tie-dye towel drape around her and her hair was out of its braid, and hanging around her head. A halter-top bikini stuck out of the towel. As far as I could see, the bikini top was light pink was fringe around the edge and flowers decorating the whole thing.

Drew came in wearing a strapless, silver bikini with a hot pink towel that had the black letters spelling out: 'Aloha!' on it. The towel was thrown over her shoulder as if she was proud to show off her body to a house full of strangers (which might have been just the reason Leila had invited her).

Rachel was sporting a one piece bathing suit that had a dip almost down to her belly button. It drove me nuts that she could wear a one piece, and make it look so good. She ran a golden colored towel through her wet hair and left it down to rest a little bit past her shoulders.

Thalia had a black towel wrapped around her waist. Her top was covered by a striking electric blue and black, string bikini. The bathing suit was sharp and vivid, but Thalia pulled it off without a problem. Her hair was thrown up into a messy bun, but (again) she made that simple style, amazing.

Annabeth's swimsuit was a red and white striped bikini with ties on each side of the bottom piece. She was holding a pair of white flip-flops, and red towel that had white flower's decorating the edge. Her curls were starting to form at the ends of her hair since she got her hair wet but her hair was still not as curly as usual. It seemed to just be simple waves.

Leila was wearing also wearing a string bikini with a green towel hanging from her arms, but there was something different about the way she looked from everyone else. I was right in the middle of examining her perfect make-up and straightened hair when Percy spoke up.

"So, uh…" He shifted his weight and crossed his arms.

"Oh- here." Leila tossed him something that just looked like a streak of green to me. Percy seemed to recognize the thing better than I did. He slipped it over his head and that's when I realized it was his shirt.

"Thanks," he said.

"We're off," Travis announced while Percy was adjusting the rest of his clothes.

"You're leaving?" Katie asked.

"'Course not!" he objected in a mock-horrified tone. "We were just planning to go explore!"

"Yes," Conner agreed in a very dignified voice. "We have things to do."

"People to mess with," his brother filled in.

"Problems to cause," the two finished together.

Travis held out his arm, "Care to join, young Katie?" She laughed and shook her head, but took his arm and went with them anyway.

The rest of the group strayed over toward the direction of one of the living rooms in this mansion of a house. I followed them to the doorway and leaned against it. This living room was a lot more open then the last one and had a huge doorway that lead to the dining room in it.

See, Danni explained that after they moved everything- China cabinets, table, all the chairs, and pictures off the walls- the dining room became the perfect dance area! The floors were polished so that made the dancing so much more fun and the room connected with the Kitchen, so that made it easier for people to get snacks and drinks, too.

"I'm going to go change back into my clothes," Drew announced. "Anyone want to come with?" The rest of the girls shrugged and grabbed their bags then headed off toward the bathrooms. Other than slipping on their shirts, the boys decided not to change.

"Hey," Percy said, standing up and stretching. "You guys want re-fills?" There were some murmurs of agreement and Percy collected everyone's cups then headed toward the dining room.

This was a perfect opportunity. I snatched my purse and reached in to grab the strongest alcohol I was carrying. I smiled and gazed at my re-filled perfume bottle. Too perfect.

I went through the back hallway so I could follow Percy without being seen. I stayed off to the side of the room, out of sight. I could still see Percy but he couldn't see me. As he filled he cup and set it to the side to fill up the rest, I sneaked up and dumped my entire bottle into his soda.

Just as I was about to turn and run before he could see me, he turned around and saw me. I silently cursed in my head, hoping he hadn't seen anything to important.

"Cara…" he said, cautiously.

"Percy," I said, cheerily. He wasn't looking toward his drink he was actually throwing glances back toward the living room area where the boys were seated.

"What are you doing?" I prompted, hiding the bottle behind my back.

"Getting drinks," he muttered, collecting the drinks.

"That's cool," I stated. "Want help?"

"No, thanks. I'm done," he stated, turned around and walking back toward the guys.

I sighed but smirked and thought: See you in an hour or two…


I had taken a seat right on the other side of the doorway, so I could hear everything the group was saying, and also watch them from the corner of my eye. Creeper-ish, I know but I didn't care. I would get what I wanted.

It only took forty minutes of watching to see: Drew endlessly flirt with anyone close enough in hearing range, Percy sneak a few kisses with Annabeth, Travis Conner and Leila complain about personal displays of affection, Will to cut off the complaints coming from Leila with a kiss if his own, and several spits takes, before the conversation I had been waiting for came up.

"My soda tastes weird," Percy commented. I tensed up, and then relaxed when I remembered no one saw me spike his drink, so no one would be suspicious of me.

Rachel shrugged, "There is a chance someone spiked the soda bottles."

"Well, almost everyone here has Coke," Annabeth reasoned. "Anyone else think their's tastes funny?" Everyone tried their drink and shrugged or said no.

"Okay, Percy's just crazy. What else is new," Thalia said, sarcastically. A few people laughed or snorted into their cups at that statement.

Leila rolled her eyes and reached for Percy's cup, "Hand it over." She took a quick drink then spit it out just as fast.

"Ew," Drew said, moving over a little.

"There is definitely something wrong with your soda," Leila stated, holding the cup as far from her as possible.

"How much did you drink?" Annabeth asked, concerned.

Percy shrugged and took his cup from Leila. "Um," he said, checking its contents, "most of it."

"Great idea, Percy!" Nico said with false cheer, "Say something about how funny your drink tastes when you're almost done with it!"

"Whatever, Nico," he grumbled, setting his cup on a table.

"Hey," Conner started, "anyone else notice how weird it is that we haven't been attacked by any-"

The sound of glass breaking and people screaming quickly drowned out whatever Conner was about to say.

"We didn't do it," Travis and Conner said automatically.

"Yeah, sure," Clarisse said, mockingly.

"Hey, I can say in total honestly that they really didn't do anything this time," Katie defended.

A few people still didn't look convinced but everyone got up and headed toward back yard anyway. I trailed behind them as quietly as I could.

Some teenagers had obviously had too much to drink, because you could several voices were yelling things like: 'Moose!' 'Poodle' 'OMG! IS THAT A RHIIO?'

As that last comment was shouted the Percy and his friends broke out into a run toward the back door. Before we could open the door, it flew open and any kids that had decided to stay outside when it started raining, were coming inside now.

One by one all of the group wedged past people and got outside. Since I didn't want to get wet from the rain, I dashed over to the closest window and peeked out.

What I saw made my heart race faster and catch in my throat. But none of it made sense!

The weird part: there was not a moose, poodle, or rhino in sight.

The weirder part: Maybe four or five giant black dog type things were running around, snarling at almost everything close to them.

The weirdest part: Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Thalia, Leila, Will, Travis, Conner, Katie, Drew, Clarisse, and Chris seemed to be trying to fight them! Each person held some sort of weapon you would see in a one of those Greek Spartans movies.

Chris, Travis, Conner, Percy, and Nico had swords; Will, Katie, and Thalia had bow and arrow; Clarisse had a spear and Drew, Annabeth, and Leila had draggers.

I rubbed my eyes and thought: I must have had too much to drink. There was no way that that was really happening! I blinked and looked out the window again…

Only to sigh in relief. The black dogs were gone. The group had no weapons and they were all coming inside now. I strolled over toward the door and watched them as they came in.

"There might be more on their way," Katie said, "so we should probably get out now while it's clear."

"We can fight fine," Clarisse told her in a firm voice.

"Watch it," Leila called as Percy swayed.

Right before he could fall completely over, Annabeth caught him. "Whoa," she said, wrapping her arms around his waist and throwing one of his arms over her shoulder.

"You're really pretty, Annabeth," Percy stated randomly, playing with a curl that had fallen loose from her pony tail.

She rolled her eyes, but blushed anyway. "Come on, Seaweed Brain. Let's get you home."

"Wait!" I objected, coming forward. "The party's not over.

"It is for us," she said, with a glare. "There's no way I'm staying here with Percy like this."

"Why not?" I challenged. Annabeth's glare hardened.

"Okay!" Leila cut in. "Maybe it is time we go."

"Finally," Clarisse muttered.

"The party is not over," I repeated.

"Well," Drew sighed dramatically, "someone is a bit slow."

Before I could react to her insult, more screaming started. Except this time, it was accompanied by police sirens.

"Party's over," Thalia stated. The whole group took off for the nearest exit.

I huffed and wanted to follow them, but suddenly I remembered my purse was still lying around somewhere in the dining room. I turned around and dashed back for it. My bag had my school ID in it; therefore, it could and would be traced back to me being an underage drinker here.

It was like all chaos had broken loose. People were pushing, shoving, and kicking others out of the way so they wouldn't get caught at this party. On my way pasted the back door, I swear I even saw some kids climbing over the fence that surrounded the yard.

"Cara!" Sophie called. I saw her sprinting toward me, holding her own bag. "There you are!" she said in relief. "Have you seen Amy?"

"No!" I snapped. "But have you seen my purse?"

"You lost it?" she asked in disbelief.

"No!" I protested. "I just left it somewhere in the dining room!"

"Well, we have to find it!" she yelled.

"I know," I shouted at her. "What did you think I was doing running away from the exits!"

"I don't know!" she wailed. "Can we find your purse and Amy and get out of here? Like SOON?" I sighed in frustration and grabbed her arm.

As we pushed back to the dining room, I told Sophie, "If we find Amy while we're looking for my purse- great. If we don't, we're going to have to leave without her."

"But-"

"HEY!" Amy hollered from down the hall.

"There she is!" Sophie shrieked as if I couldn't see her standing a few feet from me.

"What are you doing?" Amy asked, wildly. "The police are here! GET OUT!"

"We need my purse!" I told her. "I'm not leaving without-"

"This?" Amy finished, holding up my bag. My mouth fell open and she smirked then tossed it to me.

Shouts from people much too old to be at this teenage party, rose up from the end of the hall. The three of us looked at each other and ran for an exit.

"Where did you find it?" I yelled to Amy as we looked for a way out.

"I got pushed over when the cops pulled up and found it on the floor," she explained. "You owe me one, whore."

"Sorry if I'm interrupting-" Sophie started, "but how the hell were you guys planning to get out of this place?"

"This way," Amy directed, pointing to the stairs.

"Why-"

"Just go!" She gave us little shoves toward the stairway.

Sophie and I looked at each other. The police would have the window and doors covered by now so our only choice was to trust that Amy knew what she was doing. What did we have to lose?

The three of us raced up the stairs to the second floor. Amy led us down a couple different halls, pasted a lot of rooms. She even opened one or two doors, only to close it again.

"What are you looking for?" Sophie shout-whispered to her when she yet another door.

"Ah-ha! In!" Amy ordered, holding open a random door. We all quietly ran into the room, Amy shut the door behind her.

"Lock it?" Sophie suggested.

"No," I disagreed. "They'll get suspicious if they come across a locked door."

"Yeah," Amy nodded. "All we have to do is hide until the police leave."

"Then the heck did you pick this room?" Sophie insisted.

I looked around. There was a TV, couch, and by one end of the couch mini-fridge that doubled as a side table. By the other end of the couch, there was a little closet but other than that, there was no place to hide.

"Uh, Amy, why did you pick this room?" I asked worriedly while also wondering if we had enough time to switch rooms before the cops started searching the upstairs too.

She crossed the room, "Because I was in here earlier with this really cute boy-" she paused to think for a second, "Actually, Cara, he was a friend of Danni's, so maybe you know him-"

"Amy!" I stopped her. "On to the point?"

"Oh, yeah," she shook her head and continued. "Well, he convinced me to jump out the window-"

"WHAT?" Sophie interrupted.

"Will you two shut up and let me tell the story?" Amy demanded. We both nodded and quieted down.

Amy sighed and walked over to the small window in the room. "See, there's this ledge right outside the window that big enough for someone to comfortably stand up on. Now, right underneath this window is the family's leaf pile. Get it?"

"…no." I said.

"Why do they have a leaf pile?" Sophie asked.

"They obviously raking up their falls leaves, Sophie," Amy explained, patiently.

"We don't have all the time in the world," I pointed out. "We should get going."

"I know, I know," Amy told me. "Okay, so when we got out on the ledge, the two of us jumped off onto the leaf pile. It's completely safe!"

"You're sure?" I checked.

"Definitely!" she persisted. Amy pushed open the window and climbed out. Sophie and I went out behind her.

The first thing I noticed was that it had stopped raining. The next I realized was that the ledge was pretty big. I could have sat down and stretched out my legs without them even coming close to the edge. The whole ridge went around the side of the house and out of sight. "Perfect place to hide," I said, aloud.

Amy grinned, "Exactly."

Amy went around the side and disappeared first. Sophie went next. I was just about to follow when I remembered the window. I shut it nice and tight then ran after my friends. I found the two of them sitting Indiana style and I quickly joined them, making sure I was fully out of sight.

"All right," Amy whispered. "All we have to do is wait until the police are out of sight then we'll make a run for it."

"That's great and all," Sophie sighed, "but-"

"Found these four running down the back driveway," a deep voice said.

"I'll take care of them," another voice responded.

"Well, just be careful," the deep voice insisted. "They're oddly strong and one of them is obviously drunk-"

"I'm not drunk!" a boy's voice claimed. The three of us looked at each other in disbelief. Of all people, we would never have guessed Percy to be one of the people that got caught.

Silently, we crawled toward the edge of the ridge and peered over. There were three police officers total. One man was holding a handcuffed Percy and Annabeth while the other man held Nico and Thalia.

"I've got it," third police officer insisted. This officer was a woman and she certainly sounded mean enough to take all of them. There were some shoves and talk of backup, then the two male officers left muttering about where the nearest Dunkin' Doughnuts was.

Nico sighed, "Thanks, Alecto."

The lady officer glared shrewdly at Nico, "I don't approve-"

"Then why are you here?" Annabeth interjected.

"Your father sends his regards," the policewoman told Nico, completely ignoring Annabeth.

"Great," Nico sighed.

"I can't itch my nose!" Percy announced, trying to pull his cuffed hands out from behind his back. Nico and Thalia snickered while Annabeth smiled and reached over to scratch the end of Percy's nose.

"Why is Percy the only one who is handcuffed from the back?" Sophie breathed to me and Amy.

"Maybe because he's the only one that has been drinking…?" Amy guessed. We all got quiet and continued listening.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain over there has a point," Thalia said, holding up her hands. "Any chance you're going to take off these cuffs?"

"I don't see any harm in letting you all spend a night or so in jail for your crimes," the officer sneered at them.

"Alecto," Nico warned.

"We didn't do anything! We didn't even drink!" Thalia paused and peered at Percy. "And he didn't really mean to drink. We're not even sure what he drank."

'Alecto' hissed a little but took out a small pair of keys and undid everyone's handcuffs.

"Leila and Will are waiting around the corner," Annabeth said. "We should go."

Nico said something to Alecto that I couldn't hear then the four of them all went running down the back driveway again. When we looked back to where the officer had been standing, that area was now empty. Either Alecto was a really fast, really quiet runner or she really had just disappeared into thin air.

Amy, Sophie, and I glanced at each other and decided something. This was, by far, the craziest party we had ever been to.
