ANNABETH POV:

Tuesday. UGH! Why me? I was walking around the corridors of school trying to find my oh-so-belovied friends. They told me under the stairs, so I was walking towards it when I crashed into someone. Ginger hair that is curly but short, male, dark denim pants, white tank top, hoodie, jordans, everything that screams out wannabe-school-bad-boy. I looked at his face then realised something. It was him. The dude that Percy told me about. The dude in the restaurant. The so called 'man-whore' 'devil spawn' 'bitch' 'ass' 'scumbag' and finally 'sexist pig.' The last one was Clairese by the way… She is a ray of sunshine.

He looked up at me and stared at me like undressing me with his eyes as he looked around everywhere but my face. I finally decided that I had enough of this guy "Watch it. By the way my eyes are up here." I waved at him. He finally looked up at me with a smirk that says 'hey your cute. I want to own you.' and for that I punched him in the gut and he just squealed. I ran to my friends and once I arrived everyone stopped talking with a smile. Everyone was there but Thalia because she left something at home. "What?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

Clairese decided to answer "You throw a good punch Chase." She commented. I looked at Percy and he had a grin on his face. I sat as far away as I could, so people don't suspect a thing. Now, only Thalia and Leo know. Serves him right. "If I were you I would twist the angle more as you reach his gut and maybe throw an extra part in his part," She looked at me and winked "Ya know tha-"

We all screamed "WE GET IT!" Covering our ears before they bleed to death wondering why I would even let her continue that sentence when she opened up her mouth.

She chuckled and we heard a dark voice behind us "So your the losers?" We looked behind us and we saw that guy I punched in the gut. He looked at me again, everywhere but the face hate that, and Percy automatically stood up. I raised an eyebrow at him and he sat back down grunting and mumbling something that no one could hear. He then continued with his sentence "Hey, Mamachita" He said looking around me.

Suddenly we heard another voice "Great! Now he's stealing my phrase! Well done, I guess you can ever do something original" Leo. Wilson turned around and so did we. Leo had a big grin on because he was never intimidated by anyone if they tried to embarrass him. Leo was use to it, he took it as a compliment.

"What do you want?" Wilson said doing his best glare.

Leo laughed like the Stolls pulled a prank on him, Which made everyone smile, ah the Leo effect. Wilson glared at him even harder which made it looked like his eyes were gonna pop out so we tried even harder not to laugh. "Ah, ya' need glasses buddy?" Leo asked nonchalantly without a rude tone in his voice so he didn't sound like a bully.

"Oh, shut up! Please, your just scared to face me. So you coward behind your words." Wilson said grinning like he just won a medal. Bad move dude.

"Mhmm… Okay… Whatever keeps you up at night." Leo said pretending to file his nails leaning on a wall. Which made it even harder not to laugh at how he is taking this in.

"Please, at least I can dance! I've seen you!" Wilson said laughing. But he looked stupid since no one else was laughing at him.

This made Leo smile even wider. "Okie… Why don't you show me some moves then buddy?" Leo dared.

Wilson started break dancing and to be honest, It was quite good. But Leo just rolled his eyes with a big smile on him. "My dancing can beat yours anytime!" He said a bit too proudly flexing his no-muscles making the boys snicker at him. All the boys had muscles except him.

Leo walked to him and placed his hand on Wilson's shoulder and had a disapproving look on his face. He then innocently spoke up "Honey…. No.." He said in a sweet tone taking back his hand.

Wilson just rolled his eyes "What do you want a dance off?" He said like he was prepared for it

"Nah, Im good. Thanks tho'" Leo answered nonchalantly which made it even harder not to laugh

"What to chicken?" Wilson dared him. Honestly, that was a bad move, Leo never gets irritated by this, its like the oldest trick in the book.

"Nah, you might be but I human." Leo leaned back on the wall once again pretending to file his nail with his fingers and had a smile that made us all want to laugh but we didn't. His grammar was on point tho!

Wilson rolled his eyes knowing that the conversation wouldn't go anywhere. He walked up to me, "And for you" He said pointing to me.

I pulled a dumb-blonde look on and said "Me?" Innocently. I saw Percy stand up ready to punch him but Leo quickly pulled I'm down whispering something into his ear.

"Yes, you, come here." He said pulling my waist towards his. I still had to keep the act going on though

"Oh, my!" I said in a flattery flirty way. I never act like this around any boy so I know that my friends knew that this was an act.

"Come here," He leaned forward to me but I just stepped aside because his grip wasn't as strong as a minatour. He felled face down on the floor.

I giggled like a dumb-blonde and said "Oops." I went back to my seat with my friends.

He stood up and said "You little Bi-"

Then suddenly there was a clap behind us. It was very slow and loud. "Well, well well." Our eyes widen to see Thalia standing there.

"Thalia!" Wilson screamed and he ran up to her to give her a hug but Thalia gave him the 'don't bother' look.

"Strike one Harrison." Thalia appeared from the darkness in her ordinary punk/emo clothes. She took a seat at the back of me on the stairs and leaned back. She grabbed a pizza and pointed at him like no big deal "Why chu here?"

"I transferred," He gulped "How long have you been standing there?"

"Eh," She took a big bite out of her pizza. Everyone was staring between them with a shock look about how Thalia was taking this in. So… so… Normal? "When Annabeth threw a punch in your guts." She smiled at that, and so did everyone else.

"Why didn't you stop her? You did that with your cousins!" He said

"Eh," She took another bite of her pizza, ITS STILL BEFORE 10AM FOR GOODNESS SAKE THALIA! CLASS HASN'T STARTED! "Annabeth is smart, I trust her." She smiled at me and winked. I just smiled at her and hugged her back.

"He started it!" Wilson pointed towards Leo who was grinning like a mad man.

"Tru dat." Leo said smiling in a nonchalantly matter.

"See! Even he admitted it!" Wilson started pointing to Leo and talking to Thalia

"Yes," She took another bit of the pizza "But you see," She placed a hand on Wilson's shoulder "He's Leo." Leo wrapped his arms around Thalia's shoulders.

"W-Wait I-I don't get I-it. H-how many strikes d-do I h-have?"

Then the bell rung. Me and Percy went to english and separated ways. But before anyone left Thalia stood up. She bumped him on the shoulder and said "Strike 1. 2 more left. 6 days. step up your game, missy." Then she went off with Leo and Allison to Drama not saying anything back.

Damn. This is going to be a hard year, especially with him.

"OKAY OKAY SETTLE DOWN CLASS!" said. Me and Percy took our normals seats in the middle row near the window next to each other. Ok, this is good. No suspicion of me and Percy

"Today," He took a seat on his table "You will be taking care of eggs, and because this school does not do life skills, we will be doing it and writing about it. Got it?" Everyone nodded, Percy looked like he was going to fall asleep though "Great, pair up! Female and Male! Now! Don't make me choose it for you"

Suddenly a group of single girls came running up to Percy. I just sighed and rolled my eyes. I crossed my arms, knowing that I might just loose him today. I bet he saw me because he went up to me and said "I think i'll be working with Annabeth." I looked up and saw Percy smiling at me. I smiled back.

Just then Calypso came out of no where "Ugh! You're choosing her? Oh, I get it you chose the smart and strong one to board behind and get good grades? Well let me tell you something Jackson. I'm hotter and no way in hell that you are working with her!"

She grabbed Percy's hand. She was about to move but then interrupted her "As I speak as a teacher, Percy will choose whoever he wants to go with, aka Annabeth. And speaking as his step-dad watch your mouth!" hopped off his table and took a sip of his coffee looking at Calypso weirdly.

"fine. Go with that she-devil," I stood up from my seat "sexist pig" I started to fume Percy tried to calm me down but I glared at him and he yelped "Bimbo slut," I walked towards her she flinched but continued "Bimbo and a scu-"

I was about to punch her but then , who was now standing at the door, said "Don't you dare finish that sentence! Come on, we're going to principle office ASAP! Everyone, I trust you not to act like over here and behave. Take an egg on my desk and take care of it well. C'mon , See you at home Perce!" Percy waved goodbye with a big grin on his face. I rolled my eyes and took the egg.

The people started to calm down and did their own thing. Percy whispered to me "I'm Sorry-"

"Don't be, its not your fault at all."

"Can I repay you for lunch? Bring the girls and we'll go out. Meet us at the dodge ball court."

"Sure."

"Ooo! Can we name it Nemo?" Percy was now talking normally and was to over exited like a 7 year old who just got candy for free

"No Percy."

"Why?" he was whining like a little kid.

"First, thats a movie. Next, I don't trust you with the kid."

"Uh!" He placed a hand on his heart pretending to be hurt.

I rolled my eyes "This," I waved the egg "Is in going to be in a safe place called my locker." I placed it into my locker and went back into the room "There!"

"You're a meanie!"

The bell rang and I slung my back onto my shoulders "Mhm 'kay!" I walked out of the room to go to Music. Ah, don't you just love school?

Once I entered the music room everyone was sitting and chatting. I sat next to Piper and Allison on the floor and did a whistle to all shut us up. "Listen up class! SYC is on friday! Meaning you have today, tomorrow and the day after. I wish you luck, and all the best, please, try your best to make this class amazing!" With that he walked to his desk and took a sip out of his coffee.

"Okay everyone! In a circle on the floor!" Thalia shouted. Everyone went on the carpet floor that had tons of space, after all it was music, and we all sat in a circle with Leo on my left and Allison on my right.

"ooo! I've got all the costumes on the go! You do not need to try them on, they are perfect!" Allison squealed.

"True! But, we need to do a few changing to your appearance." Piper added. Everyone had a wide eyed look on their face worried "Don't worry! It's not big, you might actually like it in the end! Might…" She mumbled the last bit. Everyone was shocked.

"Here, let me run it through: Thalia you will be wearing a dress and we will be changing you hair colour a bit, don't worry," Allison put her hands up "Its just the tips and its not neon or vibrating, it will fade with your black hair. Its purple, calm down."

"NO WAY IM WEARING A DRESS!" Thalia shouted.

"Calm down Thals!" Nico shouted back next to her. She just rolled her eyes and punched Nico on the arms which made him whimper.

"Anyways… Annabeth you will be wearing a skirt and a tank top and skater skirt with a cozy wool cardigan so don't worry! We will braid you hair with some feathers into it, AHHH! SO CUTE" Piper squealed. Allison squeezed her hand and Piper managed to breath.

"Ok, Phew, Allison, you know what your wearing, a bow blouse and jeans while Conner just wears a simple shirt and jeans so no worries." Piper continued.

Conner let out a big sigh "Thank god! I thought you were going to dress me up in a dress-"

"Oh no worries, we can if you want." Allison said. Allison was sitting beside Conner.

"haha. No thanks, uh… I-I'm good." He kissed her cheek and they both blushed.

"AWWWWWW!" Everyone said

"Anyways…" Allison turning into a tomato mixed with a strawberry "You guys don't need to worry about the class song costumes."

"Okay" We all said in unison

"So, How about we all meet at our house?" Percy asked everyone.

Everyone agreed except Thalia "I can't.."

"And why is that?" Travis asked. Sooner or later Katie will nudge his guts

"None of your business-" The bell rang "Thats my cue! bye guys see you at home later in the night." She kissed Percy and Nico on the cheek and left sprinting towards the car.

"And what was that?" I asked. Sorry, the curiosity got to me!

"I don't know I guess we will fine out!" Conner pulled out a machine that looked like a walkie talkie.

"And what is that?" I asked again

Travis looked up and smirked "Well, me and Conner might have put in a listening device so now we can hear whatever she is saying."

"DUDE!" Leo shouted

"Whatever." Conner rolled his eyes.

"SHHH! We're picking up something!" Travis shouted. Everyone gathered around them outside the school on the garden.

Then we heard something unexpected "Hey, babe!" Leo's eyes widen and we all had shocked faces… that… that voice… Wilson?

"Don't call me that!" Then we heard a grunt which I suspect Thalia just kicked him or punched him or something. We all had a big sigh, we thought that she was cheating on Leo. Percy came up behind me and wrapped his arm around me because no one was looking. I looked back and he smiled, i happily returned the smile and pecked him on the lips hoping people won't hear us, which they didn't.

"Just in time, lets go." Wilson said. Everyone had shocked faces on.

"guys isn't this quite rude?" Katie asked whispering

"SHHHH!" Everyone said, including the girls.

Then we heard a bell ringing like they entered a restaurant. "What do you want, Wilson?" Thalia asked coldly

"I just want to catch up."

"Okay…"

"So, tell me, what do you enjoy doing?"

Then they started talking that looked like 2 hours. Every time they laughed we would stiffen and every time he acted caring we would be shocked and overtime they talked we would shut up and start hitting each other to stop moving even though they didn't see us.

"Well, It was great catching up with you Wilson," We heard a chair squeak "It's really nice knowing you have changed. You've won most of me over, but my friends are a big part of my life too." Everyone went 'awwww' "Well, I'm sure they are waiting for me at the house. Goodbye"

"Bye!" We heard him. Travis closed it down and we all looked like we just said 'awww' way too many times.

"That was cute!" Piper squealed but Leo just shrugged and hissed.

"Well, at least we know he is changing…"

"Wait," Everyone looked at Leo and he had widen eyes "WE ARE STILL IN SCHOOL AND SHE'S HEADING HOME!" The we all rushed into our cars with everyone shouting "LETS GO LETS GO CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP! WE HAVE NO TIME TO LOOSE PEOPLE!"

Then my phone rang. Everyone stopped in their tracks. We all looked at each other with our hearts racing. "PICK IT UP!" Jason shouted.

"Okay, okay sheesh." I picked up "Hello?"

"Hi Annie where are you? I'm on the way home" My eyes widen along with the rest. Then the boys started to make car noises that failed, horribly. Then we started laughing "Hello?" We totally forgot she was there.

"Uh… My phone is dying… Bye!" I quickly hung up and threw my phone. Thank gods Percy caught it. Then we realised we had no time to waste and I climbed into Percy's car. We all raced to his house. Me and Percy was breathing fast and Nico was at the back ready to throw up in the car.

We all reached at the same time and we were rushing into the house. Percy swung the door open and we all rushed to the living room only to be shocked with a Thalia sitting on the couch. She was reading something and without looking up she said "So, where have you been?" Everyone looked at each other and gulped.
