Hi! Guess what! I have a new story! So anyways, here's another chapter. I managed to get my whole family out of the house except for me. I HAVE CHARMSPEAK! Just kidding.

OMG I GOT OVER FIFTY REVIEWS ON THIS THING! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUYHANKYIUTHANKYOU!

So anyways, here you go. Anomaly90 said something about Sophie POV, so I'm going to try that out this chapter. If you guys don't like it, review and tell me or PM me. I honestly don't care

Here is your chapter. Enjoy. This took me 15 minutes. The quality should improve.

Disclaimer: *sigh* Okay, okay, I don't own PJO.

Sophie POV (I told you!)

Mom was silently crying and Percy looked really uncomfortable. Well duh, that was to be expected. Both Percy and I were extremely uncomfortbale around tears.

'Mom it's fine, I'm okay now.' Percy signed.

I wanted to cry then too.

'See? Theyr'e just scars now. No pain.'

I burst into tears too.

Percy backed away slowly from both mom and me.

'Guys, come on, I'm fine! Stop crying!' He signed.

I stopped crying and signed, 'Percy, you weren't fine when it happened, were you?'

He shook his head slowly, tugging at the sleeve of his shirt and pulling it back down over his arm. 'Yeah, okay, you have a point, but now I'm fine and you guys don,t need to worry anymore.'

Mhm.

Totally.

Yeah.

I took a deep breath. 'Percy, what Mom means is that she should've been there for you when the bullies were hurting you, okay? She doesn't mean anything except for that. You really need to work on your people skills.'

A ghost if a smile flitted across his lips. 'C'mon, you know that my people skills are amazing!'

I let out a small laugh. 'Yeah...'

And we spent the rest of the night watching Finding Nemo.

Time skip to the next day at school.

(I have changed back to Annabeth POV because Sophie isn't in this scene.)

Annabeth POV

I walked to school with Thalia and Nico, who said they were going to pick up Percy soon. Malcolm had been driven by Helen to school, and apparently Percy's younger sister was riding with him too.

Thalia pushed her way through the mob of teens and came back with Percy, who still had on long sleeves even though it was August and a distinctly uncomfortable expression as he did more sign language. I sighed. Yup, I was going to have to learn sign language.

"Mhm...well Sophie had a point Percy, no, no no no. You can't blame yourself-Perseus Jackson what do you mean by that?" Thalia sputtered.

I have to admit, it's very amusing watching the one-sided conversation.

"WHAT? NO! STOP IT PERCY! NO NO NO NO!" Thalia shouted.

Nico raised an eyebrow and said, "Wait here, I'm going to go check it out."

He somehow managed to get past the crowd and went to go check on Thalia and Percy.

"WHAT!?" I heard Nico's voice shout. "WE'RE NOT-WHY WOULD YOU-WE HAVEN'T-WHAT?"

I sighed and shoved my way through.

Percy was bent over in silent laughter as Thalia and Nico shoited themselves hoarse at him.

I rolled my eyes. "Thalia, Nico, what did he do?"

"He said-we're not-why does he-?" Nico sputtered. His normally pale complexion was turning purple.

"He said we're dating when we clearly aren't!" Thalia said.

I smirked. "Nico didn't you ask Thalia to the dance?"

He turned red, then pale. "Oh, yeah. Right. Hey Thals, are you going with me? You never answered."

Thalia shrugged. "Sure, I'll go with you."

I sighed, "I was going to go with Luke. I'm not so sure if that's a good idea anymore."

Thalia grimaced. "Yuck. That asshole? I can't stand even saying his name anymore."

Percy came up to us and tapped Thalia on the shoulder and signed something. Nico translated for me.

"Percy told Thalia that since the middle schoolers are attending the dance too, his younger sister is going with Malcolm-wait what?" Nico broke off in the middle of it. "Percy! I didn't know your sister got a date!"

Percy blinked and signed something. Nico sputtered something like, "What the heck?" And turned to me. "Is Sophie dating your younger brother? What"s his name again, Mallard?"

I snorted. "Mallard? No, his name is Malcolm. And yeah, they're dating."

"Annabeth!" Luke's voice interrupted our conversation.

"Luke," I responded coldly, swinging my backpack around so it faced him. "I'm busy."

"Talking with these freaks?" Luke asked coolly. "Or should I say, signing."

Thalia's eyes lit up with anger as she clenched her fists into balls.

Percy's eyes flitted from Luke to me to Thalia to Nico to his shoes. He ended up having a staring contest with the ground.

Nico tensed up and sidled a little closer to Percy.

And as for me? I stepped up a little closer to Luke. "Shut up," I said. "I don't want to listen to your slimy voice ever again."

"Why that's rude Annabeth," Luke said, grinning evilly. 'After all, I was about to ask you to the dance."

I bet you all know what happens next. Well anyways, sorry about how short it is, but I just couldn't work with any of the ideas I have because they have to take place later in the story, sorry. So here is the world's lamest , crappiest chapter ever, I am so sorry,

I need ideas. Please, somebody review and help me. I need ideas for this story.

I'm sorry, if I get no ideas and no help, I will not update. I want you all to have good chapters ofconsiderable length and not stuff like this crap. So help me.

Please.
