kittyhawk09 asked: Two questions: Have you ever heard of a TV show called Tower Prep and are you going to include their parents in this story?No and yes. I took the liberty of looking Tower Prep up though. I looked at the story line. Trust me, in the end, this is gonna be nothng like Tower Prep.
Ok so did you guyz see the video of Rick Riordan reading chapter 1 of Mark of Athena yet? Ok so when I first saw it, my Mom and Dad were on business trips and I was alone with my foriegn exchange student from England named Paul (IKR! Paul... so ironic... I call him Paul Blofis sometimes and he has no idea who I'm talking about!). So when I first found it I screamed. I probably didn't help that it was 3 in the morning. So Paul comes running in my room in his underwear with a baseball bat! It looked staraight from a movie! He asked what was wrong And I smiled at him. I told him I found the Mark of Athena frist chapter and he walked out of the room mad. It was soo funny! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY! IT'S IN ANNBETH'S POV!
So in celebration, I decided to do a chapter in Annabeth's POV.
Annabeth's POV
I looked up from my book looked out the window. It was light outside now. I supposed it was about 7:30 am.
Time to get up Annabeth. I joked to myself.
I got out of bed and went to the sink counter on the wall. I put my hair up in a quick ponytail. Immediately curly strands fell into my face.
I sighed and gave up.
As I walked into the kitchen I heard a large BOOM the neighbor's cabin.
I smiled.
It was Percy's cabin. He had been very nice to me yesterday. Most guys just walk around hitting on me.
I opened the cabinet and took out a bag of bagels. I opened it and took one out. I spread it with peanut butter as I went to the refrigerator.
I looked at my schedule hanging on a magnet. Math was first.
No need to rush.
I'd just do what I did every day and photocopy Thalia's homework and let her turn it in the next day.
I winced as I thought about the last time I went to Math. My hands went immediately to the scar on my arm.
At least it's getting better I told myself.
Yeah, better for a whole two years.
I took my hands off my wrist as I heard Percy's door slam. I smiled as I heard him pounding on Grover's Door.
I finished eating my bagel and went to get dressed. I changed into some shorts and a green shirt and brushed my teeth. I took my hair down to try to comb it, but I just ended up giving out and putting it back in a ponytail.
I went over to my desk and put all my notes in the correct binder. I put everything in my backpack and looked at the clock.
It read 9:00.
Time to leave.
I put on my shoes and headed out. There weren't as many people out as on regular days.
Well that's because people are in classes.
I smiled as I passed the rope swing.
I moved on.
I waited outside of the math building for Thalia and Juniper. They walked out right as the bell rang.
"Hey" I said as I caught up with them.
"Hey" they said in unison.
"How was math?" I asked.
"Boring as usual." Juniper answered.
"You can borrow my notes at Study Hall" Thalia offered.
"Thanks" I said, "What do we have next?"
"Social and Environment" Juniper answered looking at her schedule.
Thalia groaned.
"Oh come on," I said, "He can't be that bad."
She looked at me with an annoyed face.
"You have no idea." she said.
"Be nice." Juniper scolded.
"I am being nice!" she defended herself.
"Children children!" I put my arms around their shoulders," There's no need to fight!"
"You're shorter than us." Thalia pointed out.
I made a face at her.
I took my arms off their shoulders when we got to the building. I looked for Percy waiting for me outside.
He wasn't there.
Everyone else paired up and left. I was the only one there.
Had yesterday been that bad for him?
I sat down on the bench for a while longer.
He still didn't show. I finally gave up and walked to the Athletics department.
I might as well practice gymnastics while I have some extra time.
I was kind of sad that Percy didn't show. I had been looking forward to a laid back period.
I opened the door to the building. I walked through the halls to the locker room. I changed into some athletic shorts and a tank-top. I walked out of the locker room.
As I walked to the gymnastics training room I passed the pool room. I stopped when I heard splashing inside.
Who would be at the pool at this time?
I opened the door and peeked in. A streak flew under the water from one side to the other. I could tell it was a boy.
Thankfully, he was wearing swim shorts instead of a speedo.
When they got to the other side they turned around without taking a breath. I walked in, fascinated.
I didn't know Goode had someone with a swimming ability.
The person swam back and forth 6 times without a single breath. He finally emerged at the other side with his back to me. I knew who it was the moment I saw the black hair.
Percy.
A wave of hurt came over me.
I walked to the edge of the pool and sat down. My feet dangled in the water.
Percy turned around and saw me. He smiled. He went under and shot toward me. He came up next to me. He crossed his arms and set them on the pavement next to me.
"Didn't I tell you the pool was for water abilities?" I said.
"My reflexes extend to my lungs too. I can breathe underwater for a long time." he answered smiling.
'Oh don't look so proud of yourself." I said, "It's all ability."
He mocked hurt.
"Why didn't you meet me at Social and Environment?" I asked him.
His eyes widened.
"What time is it? Oh Annabeth I'm so sorry! I completely lost track of time! I-"
"It's fine Percy." I said.
"No Annabeth, seriously. I feel really bad! You looked really down when I came in and-"
"Percy." I interrupted him.
He blushed realizing he had been rambling.
"Sorry." He mumbled.
I ruffled his wet hair.
"It's fine." I said.
He smiled.
"Wanna take a swim?" he asked with a glint in his eyes.
"What? No! What, PERCY DON'T YOU DARE!" I shouted.
He grabbed my ankle and pulled me into the pool. I held back a gasp as cold overwhelmed me.
I surfaced again, far from happy.
"PERCY JACKSON YOU ARE SO DEAD!" I shouted.
He laughed and swam away.
I made the mistake of attempting to swim after him. Then I realized how fast he really was. He looked slower than he really was when seeing him from on land. He zipped to the other side before I could make it halfway. For a moment I could see him, and the next I couldn't.
I stopped and searched for him. I felt stupid standing there underwater, my hair all around my head, looking around for him. So I tried to swim up to look over the pool.
I was pulled back down with a jolt.
I looked down.
My ankle bracelet was stuck on a hook designed to hold ropes. I tugged at my foot.
It wouldn't budge.
I reached down and tried to untie the string.
I couldn't undo the knot.
I felt my breath start to run out.
I looked around under the water. Percy was nowhere to be seen.
I started to panic.
I tugged at the hook in desperation. My lungs began to burn for air. I started to attempt to untie the knot once more. My fingers were slow and lazy. As my eyes began to close I saw a figure dive into the water after me.
Then everything went black.
And the Thalico results are...
Thalico: 12
No Thalico: 13
Ohhhhhhh! Lost by 1! But never fear Thalico lovers! I'm giving you guz another chance. But give me some reasons! Non-Thalico lovers gave me some pretty good reasons to not do Thalico.
REVIEW REVIEW REVEIW.
