I woke up in a good mood. I was glad I didn't have to go to school. I closed my eyes again and smiled, only to be interrupted by my phone dinging. I looked at my phone to see a text message.

Meet me before school at your locker.-Percy

My eyes grew wide as I read the message.

I quickly grabbed my alarm clock, and looked at the time.

"Shoot"

I ran to my closet, and pulled out the first things I saw. Black high jeans, and a grey sweater. I pulled them on, and grabbed two socks that I saw on the floor and hopped to the bathroom while trying to put them on.

I started to brush my teeth and ran back to my room to grab my bag and my binder of the desk. I picked up my jacket and ran back to the bathroom to finish brushing my teeth. I put my hair in a pony tail and then put my jacket on and grabbed my keys to leave.

"Finally" Percy said when he noticed me walk into the building.

"Ok what is it that you needed to- ow!" I said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me into an old hallway that no one was in . "Why are we here?" I asked him as he looked to make sure no one was coming close to where we were. When he saw no one coming by.

"She knows." He said looking me in my eyes. I looked back at him.

"Who, Rachel? That's impossible she couldn't have figured it out, not that fast anyway" I began.

"Did you tell anyone?" He asked me.

"No, did you?" He shook his head. I looked down and then back at him. He started to pace back and forth. "Well so what if she knows? what's the worse that could happen?"

He stopped pacing and looked at me. "She's planning something, Annabeth, I don't know what but it's bad and..." he started to say, getting all frantic.

"We can still convince her." I told him.

"How do we know anything we do will work?" He asked.

"We don't, but we have to try." Before he could say anything else we heard voices coming from a different hallway. "We should probably get going" I told him.

"Yeah, I'll see you soon." He said before giving me a small smile and walking away. I started to walk towards my locker. While I walked I passed by Rachel. She glared at me, and continued to walk.

I finally reached my locker and opened it up.

"Where were you?" I heard someone say behind me.

"I went to the library before school." I stated, turning around to see Thalia glaring at me.

"Really?"

"Yes" I said hoping she couldn't tell I was lying.

"You never go to the library before school." She replied.

"Well I decided to today." I told her, while shutting my locker.

"Yeah, sure, and I went skydiving yesterday with the president." She says as we walk towards her locker.

"Wow, all of that because I go to the library early one day?"

"Uhm, you didn't and you and I both know that, and don't forget the whole, dating my cousin without telling me thing" she replied as she opened her locker and grabbed her stuff. She slammed it closed.

"I did, and it's really not that big of a deal." I tell her.

"Actually it is. Not to mention the entire school has been talking about it, and the only information I'm getting are all rumors."

"Rumors?" I start to ask, until I get interrupted.

"Yeah, rumors."

"What, uhm, what kind of rumors." I asked hesitantly.

"I'm not too sure you wanna know."

"Uh, yes, I do." as soon as I spoke the bell rang.

"You'll figure it out." I watched her walk away to her class. I hurried to mine.

When lunch came, I went to the cafeteria in search of Thalia. I scanned the room, and then spotted her walking over to our usual table. I walked over to her and sat next to where she had sat down.

"Thalia," I started.

"Oh my god, Annabeth, you scared the crap out of me." she said as I started to speak.

"Sorry," I told her. "But I really need to know what people are saying."

"Didn't I tell you you would find out."

"I need to know." I told her pleadingly. She looked at me.

"Well," she started.

"Annabeth Chase!" I heard someone scream out behind me. I turned around and looked towards where the sound had come from. Walking towards me, was Rachel, with a terrorizing smirk.

I froze staring at her as she approached. Oh god, I thought. She knows, she knows it's fake, what is she gonna do to me.

"So how is it dating my ex." She said to me. Wait, she doesn't know, I'm ok, I thought.

"I don't know, how is it knowing that I'm dating your ex." I responded. I heard a couple of laughs, which in turn caused Rachel to get more upset than she was before. Bad move.

"You better watch yourself, Annabeth." she said before walking away.

I turned back to Thalia. But she had left.

"God damnit." I said to myself. The bell rang dismissing us to our next class. I collected my stuff, and exited the room.

When school had finally ended, I collected my things, and speed walked to find Percy. when I was towards the front of the building I spotted him. I walked over and grabbed his hand, and out of the corner of my eye I could see people staring.

"Hey" he said when he saw me, and held onto my hand. We had stepped outside the school building and started heading towards the side walk. As we did so, i looked at him.

As soon as we had reached the side walk, I decided to start a conversation.

"Rachel confronted me today at lunch." He slowed for a second and then continued walking.

"What did she say?"

"She asked me, how is it dating her ex."

"And what did you say?"

"I told her, how is it knowing that I'm dating her ex." He laughed a little.

"Nice." he said in between his laugh.

"Yep." I said starting to laugh at the sound of his own laughter. Our laughter died down we had dropped each other's hands and we started to walk in silence. When we had reached the entrance to my apartment complex, Percy stopped, and spoke.

"So, uh, I'll see you tomorrow." He said to me. I smiled.

"I'll see you tomorrow."
