ITS BEEN A LONG TIME, I KNOW, SINCE I'VE UPDATED! :S I've just been REALLY busy with highschool applications and school work! :x

Anyways, I know I promised a Christmas present for Percabeth lovers...but its really past Christmas. But here's a belated Christmas present for Percabeth lovers and supporters! Enjoy! ;)

!

"So, you wanna come over on Saturday? Its getting warmer and I want to have a pool party!" Thalia exclaimed as we walked to our lockers.

I made a face at her suggestion. "A pool party?"

Thalia rolled her eyes. "It's not going to be that bad! Its just a small group of friends and no one else. No one like Drew or Rachel. Egh, not even close."

"Planning to work on a tan for Nico?" I asked.

Thalia's face burned red and embarassed, but then she just laughed. "I thought you'd like the idea of a pool party. I'm inviting Percy too, y'know. But..."

I stared at Thalia like her hair went on fire. "As if I could care less. And when'd you get so excited and interested about my love life?"

Thalia raised an eyebrow. "Love life? Annabeth, when did Percy have anything to do with your love life?"

"I mean...uh, I mean...I didn't mean that! I'm just asking why you care so much about Percy and me." I replied. "There's nothing between us."

Thalia looked unconvinced. "You can't lie to me, Annabeth. I can always tell when you're lying or not, y'know."

"As if. Besides, you can't hide from me the only reason why you want a pool party. So that Nico can see you and notice you in a bikini!" I snickered.

Thalia scoffed. "Its not a bad idea, Annabeth. I bet Percy'll go estatic to see you like that."

"Or he'd just be disappoint that I don't show up at all to your little party." I shrugged.

"But I don't think any girls passing by'll be disappointed when they see Percy in his swimsuit! I heard he made the swim team here and girls are already lining up to see Percy shirtless!" Thalia laughed, as we both shut out lockers and started to walk down the hall.

I grimaced. "Ugh, that's disgusting."

"Maybe. But I love to see girls pour out their love to something they can't have!" Thalia replied.

"Why are you so sure Percy likes me? And maybe Percy'll fall in love with another girl struting around the pool." I shrugged.

"Maybe." Thalia sighed as I finally got my locker to open. That's when something white fell out of it. I reached down to pick it up. It was a note.

I opened it up and began to read it, with Thalia's head right next to me and her eyes glued to the note staring intentively at it.

Written in a scrawling calligraphy was:

I don't do these kind of things, but meet me afterschool alright? At the front door. We have unfinished things to talk about.

-Percy

"I knew it! He likes you!" Thalia screamed, waving the note around. "And he wants your undying love!"

I gave her a threatening look to make her shut up, but it didn't work.

"Whoa, wait! Unfinished things?" Thalia's eyes widened. "What did you and Percy talk about when he was at your house? And tell me the truth! Nothing but the truth!"

I sighed, grabbing the note out of her hands. "I already told you. He came over to talk to my dad and step-mom, he convined them to stay in Manhattan, and then he left. That's it."

"Then whats this 'unfinished' thing?" Thalia asked me.

"Its nothing!" I exclaimed, throwing my books into my locker, grabbing my backpack, and shutting my locker close. Thalia did the same and we walked to the side door of the school, the door closest to our lockers.

"See you later. I have to go." I said to Thalia.

Thalia gave me a sly smile. "You mean you have to meet up with Percy? Or should I saw your soulmate!"

I scoffed and left Thalia amused with her puns.

I breathed in and out. Why was I feeling so nervous? It was just Percy. He probably just wants to ask if I can help him with his homework or something like that.

But I still couldn't shake the thought...would he ask me out? I mean, when he was about to leave my house yesterday...it sounded like he wanted me as his girlfriend.

I couldn't talk to him at all today because the two classes we had together, he was away. Though he came back at lunch, but I had detention with Mr. Brunner, my Latin teacher, for not completing my homework.

If Percy was going to ask me out...what would I say to him? A part of me just wanted to be friends with him and leave all the awkward things out...however, the other part of me actually wanted Percy's "undying love".

I didn't have enough time to clear my head because I had reached the front door, but I acted fast and stayed hidden behind a brick wall when I saw Percy...and Drew..their bodies glued to eachother.

Okay, okay I know this story didn't really have any present for Percabeth lovers! But don't worry! I didn't know how to add it in this "present"...so...just wait next chapter!

I have to admit, this chapter toke me a long time and its not as great as my previous chapters. I literally ran out of ideas!

But don't worry! The chances of Percy and Drew getting together in this story is the same chance as Poseidon and Zeus getting together. (- I'm sorry, I just have to put that in...T_T)

Anyways, thanks for reading and review? :)

ALSO - Please feel free to leave any suggestions or ideas or where you want this story to go! Cause i'm out of ideas! :S And i'm going to try to update more often!
