Hi everyone! Super Jam here :)

Announcements:

It's been a bit since I updated. Sorry about that. Super busy and a book I've waited MONTHS for just came out so after this chapter I probably won't update again until I finish it. Don't worry it's only 408 pages and I'm a fast reader!

I have a poll on my profile page for this story! It's about who Rachel should be paired with. The options are Nico, Octavian, or just stay single. PLEASE VOTE! I really want to know what you guys want! Thanks!

I added something to my profile! After my couplings there is something that should say stories in progress. The first one is this story. It will say how far I am on the chapter I'm working on. So if you're ever wondering where I am in the new chapter just go there and you'll find out :) It also has one-shots that I plan on doing if you want to check those out!

Anyone curious for what book it is? Unfortunately it's not Mark of Athena. I didn't have to wait as long for this book but it was close since I found out about this book in February. It's Maggie Stiefvater's first book of her new series The Raven Cycle. It's called The Raven Boys. Any Maggie Stiefvater fans out there? She wrote The Faire series, The Wolves of Mercy Falls series, and The Scorpio Races. I adore her books. If you haven't read them I recommend them :) I'm only 78 pages into The Raven Boys and already in love! But I took a break to write this chapter for all of you. This is the moment where you feel special ;)

I'm obsessed with Astronaut by Simple Plan right now. It's a boss song.

13 DAYS UNTIL MARK OF ATHENA! :D

Okay enough of my ranting! Here's chapter 11. I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 11

Thalia

I had tried my hardest to get the flowers back to my room in one piece without anyone noticing them. I succeeded but Drew almost sat on them. Am I surprised that it was her? No. I'm not. Now I just had to sneak them into Reyna and Piper's dorm room without anyone noticing. Right now was the best time to do it. After our monthly meeting with the guys, a bunch of the girls liked to get together and talk about everything that had went on. I don't usually go and neither would Reyna if Piper didn't always ask her to go. So they were in some other room. Now's the best time to do it.

I crept along the hallway with the flowers still in the bag. I had checked to make sure they were okay but I hadn't taken them out. I wouldn't have been able to get them back in there without damaging them like Luke had. I got to their room and looked around. The coast was clear. Now I just had to-

"Hey Thalia?"

Crap! Where did Annabeth come from? "Oh Annabeth. I didn't see you coming."

"I just came out of my room, so you wouldn't have. Why are you standing in front of Reyna and Piper's door? They're at that silly meeting. They go every month."

I knew that. That's why I'm here right now! Then I realized it could be used as a cover up. "Oh! Right! Stupid me. I completely forgot about it."

Annabeth raised her eyebrow at me in a way that told me she knew I was lying, but she didn't call me out on my bluff which made me eternally grateful. "It doesn't matter. That's not what I'm here to talk about."

"Oh? What are you here to talk about?"

She sighed, running her hand through her hair and then glanced around the hallway. "Can we go into my room? Piper talked Rachel into going to that meeting and I don't want to talk about this in the middle of the hallway."

I hesitated. Normally I would have been fine with this and said yes right away but I really needed to get these flowers on Reyna's bed before they got back. I could do it tomorrow but that would involve cutting class, something I promised Luke I would try to stop doing. Annabeth had a look on her face that you wouldn't think could be on Annabeth's face though so I sighed and said, "Yes." Besides I couldn't be like Sure Annabeth. I'm just going to put these flowers from my brother on Reyna's bed because he's too worried he's going to pee himself if he goes to actually talk to her. Annabeth knows Jason has a crush on Reyna and I probably would have told her about what I was doing if I didn't know how Jason would react. If he found out I told her he would get all flustered and not be able to meet her eyes which would put a damper on the games we play outside over summer. So into Annabeth's room I went with the flowers still in the backpack on my back. "What's up?" I asked as she sat on her bed and me on Rachel's.

"Just… stuff."

"Stuff?" I think I know where she was going with this. I hadn't missed Rachel and Piper discussing about Percy randomly showing up and asking Annabeth to talk to him alone. "Does this have anything to do with Percy?"

She looked up at me. "How did you know that?"

I shrugged. "I have good ears. So what happened when you two were talking alone?"

She looked back at her lap. "I thought he would start cracking jokes, but he was really serious. It caught me by surprise. I didn't think he did serious. Especially after skipping around arm in arm with Leo singing the Sponge Bob Square Pants theme song."

I smiled at the memory. They had skipped by the flower shop when Jason and I were trying to decide on what type of lilies to get. After they were out of sight, Jason just turned back to the flowers but I remember wondering what in Percy Luke had seen as Annabeth's type. "What did he talk to you about?"

"Me."

I blinked twice, not expecting that answer. "You?"

"Me." She repeated.

I decided to be more specific. "What about you?"

"Everything."

"Everything?"

"Yes everything! He said he felt bad for not getting to know me more the first time we had hung out. He asked me all sorts of questions!"

"Like what?"

"Everything! What I wanted to be after high school and what I like to do in my spare time. He even asked me what I like on my pizza!"

"Okay. That doesn't sound so bad. Why are you freaking out?"

"Because I enjoyed it!"

Now I was really confused. "You enjoyed it? Isn't that a good thing?"

"I guess. I'm so confused."

"It sounds to me like Annie has a crush."

"I don't!"

"That's what it sounds like."

"Well I don't."

"Whatever you say." I told her standing up and walking towards the door.

"Wait!" I looked at her. "What do I do?" She asked.

"How about stop denying your feelings for him?"

"I don't have feelings for him!"

"You sound like how I used to talk about Luke."

"That's different!"

"How is that different?"

For once I left Annabeth Chase speechless. She knew it wasn't any different but wasn't about to admit it. Feeling accomplished at getting through to her even a little bit, I walked out of the room. The accomplishment drained from me. I looked at my watch. Reyna and Piper should be back any minute. I had to get these flowers in their room now!

I knocked on the door to make sure they hadn't gotten back early. When there was no answer I tried to open the door, only to find it locked. Normally I would have freaked but a few summers back Luke had taught me how to pick locks. He was good at breaking in and stealing stuff. Not that he should, but still. It can come in handy. I got a bobby pin from my bag and picked the lock. It took longer than I would have liked but I made it in. I looked around and then walked over to the side I remember belonging to Reyna. I set the bag on her bed and took out the flowers carefully. They were a little rumpled, but otherwise they looked fine. I set them on the bed and placed the card on top. Then I closed up my backpack and put it on my back and left. I clicked the lock so it would lock again and I closed the door quietly; looking around to make sure no one was in sight. I didn't see anyone so I started to walk back towards my room. Then I heard, "Thalia!"

Luke

I was sitting in my room, doing some last minute homework. Everyone else was in Leo's room messing around like usual. Most likely talking about the girls. Then I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I told them.

"Luke?" Came a voice from the other side of the door. After a second I realized it was Jason.

"Jay?"

"Yeah?"

"You can come in."

"Oh. Right." The door opened and my girlfriend's little brother stepped in.

He kind of just stood there awkwardly so I said, "You can sit down." He just nodded his head and sat down in my roommate's, Ethan's, chair. "What's up Jason? Why aren't you with the other guys?"

He shrugged. "They were just talking about the usual and I had to talk to you."

"About what?"

"The video."

I had to think about what video he was talking about. Then it came to me. "The Romeo and Juliet video?"

"Yes."

"What about it?"

"Why did you record that?"

I shrugged. "It was Connor's idea."

"Why did you send it to Thalia?"

I shrugged again, feeling like I was being scolded by my mom. "It was Travis' idea."

Jason sighed, running his hand through his hair. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Probably because everything is Travis and Connor's idea."

"That's probably it."

"Why do you care so much? Did she tease you that much about it?"

"She thought I was gay!"

"With Leo?"

"With Leo!"

I stared at him, his frustrated expression, his messed up hair, and just started to laugh. Call me crazy or whatever but I found the whole idea of it funny. Here was Jason Grace, the calmest guy I have ever met, freaking out because I sent his sister a video and she thought he was gay. At first Jason looked confused but then he started to laugh too.

"She seriously thought you were gay?" I asked, after most of our laughing fits had passed.

"Yeah. We'd been talking about the girl crush I had and she apologized for assuming I was into girls and that if I really wanted to be with Leo she could deal with that."

"That hadn't been anyone's intention but it somehow better than her just teasing you."

"It's good to know you get so much enjoyment out of watching her tease me."

"We all do Jay." I informed him.

"That's reassuring." He told me, and then glanced at the clock. "I should get back to my room before Coach Hedge comes around here with his baseball bat."

"Good idea."

As he was walking out the door he stopped, turned around and asked, "Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you not send embarrassing videos to Thals?"

I smirked at him. "No promises."

Reyna

I was on my way back from another annoying meeting when Piper called, "Thalia!" I looked up and saw Thalia walking back in the direction of her room.

She turned around fast but then smiled at us. "Hey girls. How was the meeting?"

"Boring as usual." Piper told her.

"Then why do you always go?"

Piper shrugged. "I don't know. There's nothing better to do I guess."

"What are you doing here Thals?" I asked her.

"Hanging with Annabeth." Thalia informed me.

"That's cool. I would go in there and hang with them but it's a school night and I'm exhausted. Come on Reyna." Piper told me.

"Night." Thalia said before turning around and walking away really fast. Piper frowned after her but didn't say anything. She unlocked our door and we went inside. The first thing I noticed was that it smelled like flowers. The second thing I noticed was all the lilies sitting on the bed.

"Reyna!" Piper exclaimed, walking over to the flowers and picking up a card on the top of the flowers. She read it and then said, "You have a secret admirer!"

"What?" I asked.

"You heard me." She said, handing me the card. I read it. It was from a secret admirer. The question is who would like me and want to be my secret admirer?

"Who do you think it could be?' I asked her.

"Well, it's definitely a boy."

"How can you tell?"

Piper pointed at the card. "That's definitely boy hand writing."

"What are we going to do?" I asked sitting on the bed and picking up the lilies, my favorite flowers.

Piper smiled at me evilly. "We're going to find your secret admirer."

Percy

It was October 27th and we were sitting in History class when they made the announcement. "Okay class." Our teacher told us. "I know we only meet up with the girls once a month normally, but since you all were very well behaved we decided to do something special for Halloween with the girls." Everyone was leaning forward, waiting for what he was going to say. "We're going to a haunted house."

Done! I had actually planned on making this a bit longer but it's almost one in the morning and I want to go to sleep. Sorry if there was a lot of mistakes. I was half asleep while proof reading. So what did you think? The next chapter will contain Liper! Please review! Thanks!
