Hello people!

*Dodges an apple *

OKAY. I am very sorry that I haven't updated in a while, but you should know why if you have been reading my last few updates. To be fair, I wasn't so

happy myself. I didn't have internet! I still don't, because I am typing from a phone.

That is extra hard to do. I might not have much time, so I will start writing rn.


Annabeth's POV

I stare wide eyed at the teacher. Is he serious? I give a slight nod of my head, and hope Percy doesn't see. Right now, his eyes are searching around the room, looking for his

partner. Me. I can't let him know who I am, no. That wouldnt be good. I am just delaying the inevitable.

Soon Percy gives up, because the bell rings. I run out, hoping not to bump into him. For once, my wishes are obeyed. I run over to my next class, which unfortunately is P.E.

I go to the locker room to change, and am greeted by a not so friendly face.

Its freaking Drew. There she is with shorts that only manage to hide half her butt, and the brightest pink lip-gloss. Just her appearance makes me lose my appetite.

" I see you've doubled the amount of hoes you walk with since our incident." I say, noticing the newer faces to her little squad. She smiles, but I see fear in her eyes: One

black eye, the other fairly red. Her crappy nose job actually looks better, maybe I should be a plastic surgeon someday... I push the thought away when Thalia walks in. Oh

god Thalia.. Ever since that day at her house, we've been sort of distant. The problem though, is that i have absolutely NO idea what the fuss was about. Thalia doesn't cry.

She teases. That makes me wonder...

"Just walk away Drew. She is going to kill you this time."

Drew sneers. "Thalia, how are you still friends with the freak? You did sleep with-" She's cut off by a loud SMACK! Thalia slapped her. I wish I could laugh, but Drew did

something nobody saw coming: She fought back. Nothing big; just hair pulling at first. But as it progressed, she punched and kicked and slapped... it wasn't pretty on either

end. After the initial shock wore off I pulled them away from each other. Thalia had a nasty gash on her cheekbone, while Drew's hairline was bloody. Neither one

of them looked very good. I hear whistling from a few feet away, and see the Gym Teacher running up to us.

"Ladies, ladies! Break it up!" She says, although they've already pulled away from each other. A little word about her; she's a lady in her 50's, with stringy blonde hair and

looks like a bird. Despite her appearance she's been married/remarried at least 4 times. She's achieved being a widow with at least half of her ex husbands. Makes you

wonder whether or not their deaths were really accidents.

"Go the office NOW girls!" They both get up from the floors, but on their way out they kick each other. Blood is all over the floor from where it began. Honestly? The scene

was very funny afterwards, a group of girls looking at their feet, others not sure if they should say anything or not.

"Did you have anything to with this?" Asked the teacher.

"No! It wasn't my fault this time its-" I faltered. But it is my fault, in some way. This was because of me.

The teacher sighs. "Let's just continue on! Get out there and practice playing volleyball. The boys are inside today, they've already started. Don't mind them. I'll be back."

She trudges off. We all walk out, but only half of the girls actually went to play. about a fourth went to talk. The last bit went to flirt with the guys. I look over to them, and

see a familiar face.

"Leo!" I call out. I run over to him, and shoo away the girls he's trying to get at. He turns, trying to be mad, and says," Annabeth, how dare you! They were just begging to

date me. You owe me a kiss now." He winks, and I can't help but laugh. I haven't seen him since Sophomore year, and he's actually kind of grown from what he used to be.

Two years ago, he was about four feet tall and his face was acne prone. He even had braces. Not the most attractive qualities, except for his personality. Damn, he was so

funny. It obviously hasn't changed. Now, he stands about five and a half feet with a clear face, straight teeth, and a pretty face. He's actually not half bad anymore, but he's

still best friend material.

"Leo! Where did you go last year?" I ask.

"Okay, so you AREN'T gonna give me a kiss?" He challenges. I raise my eyebrow.

"Okay, okay, I'll be serious. I uh, I went to go find someone special." He says, all of a sudden serious. He looks down.

"Well..." I say, trying to change the subject. I know something big happened, but I won't pressure him to say anything. Not yet.

"Well Annabeth, it looks like we have some catching up to do." He starts, and so we sum up everything that's happened for the past few years we were absent in each other's

lives. By then, the gym teacher had returned.

"What is the MEANING of this?!" She yells. I look around, taking in the scene. In the corner, I notice a few groups of couples making out. Gross. Then, I see others flirting

hopelessly for guys that already have girlfriends. Also gross. Then, there's the others who are just sitting around on their phones, and some practicing serving, or using

overhead strikes doing what we were all supposed to do. I respect that, in some way. Everyone rushed to the volleyball net and started a game. Leo was on my team, which

was fun to watch. Most of the time, he'd yell at the ball saying, "No! DON'T TRY TO KILL ME!" Which earned quite a few laughs, but we carried on. Our team lost by at least

TEN points due to all the girls; they were afraid of the ball. Most of the good players were on the other team. That explain it.

After that, we went back to the locker rooms to change. The blood had been mopped up and there were no traces. Hm. I left as soon as I got changed, and walked to my next period.

"Annabeth!" I heard in the distance. Leo was there, with a maniacal grin on his face. I waited for him to catch up.

"So, what period do you have next?" He asks.

"Mrs. Marks, the computer teacher." I respond.

"Cool! Me too. Let's walk together now, shall we?" He bows, and offers a hand. I shake my head, and take his hand. We walk to the next class together hand in hand. This

period goes by fast: But mostly because Leo is there making weird faces or occasionally yelled out,

"It's ALIVE!" Whenever the computer would make a noise. I hardly got anything done. It turns out, Leo and I have almost the exact schedule except for first and last period.

In a way it sucks, but at least we'll have fun. Finally, lunch comes. There's a stampede to the lunchroom, but Leo and I do the smart thing: We head for the vending machine.

I grab a pack of cookies and a Gatorade, while Leo gets Cheetos and Sprite. We walk over to a lunch table, where a few of our closer friends are. Piper Mclean, Jason Grace

(Thalia's brother), and Frank Zhang are there, welcoming Leo back.

"Oh!" Screams Frank. He's a freshman, so he hadn't seen Leo yesterday when he first arrived. Leo himself is a Junior, along with Jason and Piper. Frank's girlfriend Hazel is

in Junior High, but she's only a grade behind him. They are so cute together. Everyone goes for a round of hugs and catching up, while we all eat at the same time. Talk

about multi tasking. All of a sudden, someone clears there throat from behind me.

"Percy! "Screams Jason. Wait a minute is it-

"Yeah, yeah! We met yesterday, let me introduce you guys! Percy, you've met Piper and Leo, but not Frank. That's him right there, by the way. And then there's-" I kick him

in the shin from under the table, but he doesn't get the message.

"Ow!" He complains.

"That, is Annabeth. Annabeth Chase." Well know he knows.


I am sorry I didn't update for almost a MONTH but I made this one long. Question Time!

Q: Did you miss me?

A: I see you all the time. Of course not.
