Annabeth PoV

I never thought me, out of all the people in the world me, Annabeth Chase was going to be stuck in the principal's office. I always stayed out of trouble but now it was all different. At least I had Percy, Thalia and Nico by my side through it all, but it didn't help when Roy and his friends were glaring at us evilly like we're the only ones who had anything to do with it.

"Never in all my years have teaching have I seen such a fight at this school." The Principal, Mr. Hudson, shook his head in disappointment. That's surprising. "Why don't you start Annabeth with your side first." He told me. I cleared my throat and tried to keep calm. It was just the principal, nothing to be worried about.

"We were all standing in the cafeteria across from each other when Roy started calling me some names and it got me angry so I pushed him to the floor and kicked him in a couple places. Then one of his friends tackled me and the fight started." I explained. I didn't say anything about Violet- I didn't want Thalia in more trouble and I didn't want more drama anyway. I also didn't mention where I kicked Roy. The principal nodded and then motioned for Roy to go.

"It's basically what Annie said except she also said some mean things back." Roy taunted. I couldn't say anything back with the principal standing so close. I settled for a glare and crossed my arms.

"Very well. I think you all deserve after school detention for a month with Mr. Chiron starting next week." He commanded us all. Thank god it was Mr. Chiron. At least he was a laid back teacher and it wasn't someone like Ms. Dodds. (Shudders) We all got up out of our seats and left the Principal's office. Nobody said anything to each other; we didn't want to cause more trouble. Plus that lady who hated kids was watching us as we left with her little phony smile so even if I wanted to do or say anything- should would have caught us and sent us right back inside the office.

After school, Nico had to go straight home right away so it was just Percy, Thalia and I as we walked down the sidewalk towards Percy's house. We decided that we were going to chill at his house for a couple hours after the long day. Plus his mom wasn't going to be home so we don't have to limit what we do.

When we entered, the place smelled like homemade cookies. The aroma filled the whole entire house and soothed my sensed. We trailed the smell and found a rack of blue cookies on the kitchen table. Then looked delicious. But why blue? Why not just regular.

"Sweet my mom baked cookies again!" Percy cheered and grabbed one instantly like he was used to them being blue. I rolled my eyes.

"That's what your happy about? The cookies?" I asked but took one anyway. As soon as I took a bite I knew I was in heaven. It practically melted in my mouth into cookie sludge. They were so soft- just how I love them! I haven't had homemade cookies since…

And that's when I blacked out.

When I came to my senses, I was on the floor and my vision was a little fuzzy. The hardwood floor was under my body and I had trouble just sitting up. My head hurt like I just bumped it on something. I rubbed it uncomfortably. I suddenly realized that Percy and Thalia were looking down at me with worried expressions on their faces.

"Ugh what the hell happened?" I asked and blinked a couple times. I stood up but stumbled over immediately and accidently leaned into Percy. He steadied me and I could feel my face heat up. I grabbed the chair for support and looked at the expectantly.

"You blacked out as soon as you ate the cookie." Thalia pointed to the ground and I could see a blue cookie with a bite out of it. I suddenly remembered. Those cookies…they were homemade and reminded me of my dad and mom. Every Sunday we would settle down in the kitchen and bake cookies. We don't do that anymore. Everything changed. I never realized how much it hurt to remember we didn't have that anymore. My knees buckled even though I was still leaning on the chair but luckily Percy caught me before I could fall. He pulled me up and sat me down in the dining table chair.

"Annabeth are you okay?" Percy asked obviously concerned. He must have seen my face turn pale even though it was bright red before. I force myself to give a small smile.

"Yeah I'm fine." I tried to convince them even though I just blacked out earlier. Thalia stared at me.

"Seriously Annabeth? You think that's going to make us think your okay?" Thalia raised her eyebrows.

"I'm fine." I repeated. "See? I can stand." I said as I stood up. My knees started to gain strength again. What I was thinking when we went to Percy's house was a nice hang out with talking and laughing. But no, I never get what I think do I? The looked at me cautiously.

"Okay, but Annabeth we're always here to support you." Percy told me. Thalia nodded.

"I know, I'm fine guys just tired today." I lied.

"Alright Annabeth." Thalia shrugged and looked at the cookies longingly like she was afraid that she would pass out if she ate them.

"Percy where's you bathroom?" I asked. I needed to get out of this room. I needed some time to think.

"Down the hall take a right." He said and then grabbed another cookies. I gave another phony smile and then quickly walked to it.

As soon as I entered I locked the door behind me and splashed cool water on my face. The icy water seemed to calm me down a little, but I needed the wind. The fresh wind- but that was outside and I wasn't outside. There were no windows inside the bathroom so I was stuck in here now. I steadied my breathing and felt my heart beating fast. I splashed my face one more time with water then walked out. I kept up the fake smile and found them sitting on the couch talking like nothing was wrong. I sat in between them and slumped back.

"So what are we doing tomorrow?" I asked as Thalia played catch with herself using a red delicious apple.

"I dunno. No swim meets for Percy, and dance is next Wednesday." Thalia shrugged and then tossed the apple to me. I tossed it back and we started playing catch.

"You swim?" I asked Percy.

"No, that's why I go to swim meets." Percy said sarcastically.

"No wonder you're such a seaweed brain." I rolled my eyes and continued catching. Thalia suppressed a smile.

"Really? Seaweed brain?" Percy asked.

"Well your not really smart and you like to swim." I said like it was obvious. I don't know why- the name stuck. It felt so right, like it was a missing piece to a perfect puzzle to him. His personality. I must have been smiling because Thalia was smirking at me. I scowled at her and chucked the apple at her as hard as I could.

"Ow!" she protested.

"Oh sorry, did that hurt?" I said innocently. She glared at me and crossed her arms.

"Meanie." She pouted. I laughed. My sweet kind of laugh that I almost rarely give. That made her smile. She forgot how I just chucked an apple at her. Suddenly Percy's phone rang and he sighed over dramatically. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered it.

"Oh hey Nico." He said brightly but then his expression turned a little dark. "Okay Nico, we're on our way." He said. He seemed concerned. He hung up then turned to us.

"Nico's in trouble." He said darkly.
