catz r the all time best said: Great chapter! But on a tramp (i do competitive), the 'backwards flip' is just called back (tuck, pike or straight) and the flipped twice in the air is called a double (front? barani?) tuck or pike or straight. Just to clear it up. I love this chapter! I won't lie, I didn't know that. But it all works out... because neither does Percy. And he was describing... ya know? I know, I'm a failure. But it all works out in the end.

AntiThalico said: Forget football and basketball. Men who do gymnastics are seriously SEXY. I SWEAR! But this chapter was seriously hilarious! Percy and Annabeth in the gym... that was classic. But have you even seen the show Make it Or Break it? I couldn't agree more! Except for this one kid in my class, he's like really short and perverted (excuse my French)and does gymnastics. He is definatly not sexy. And no, I've never seen Make It Or Break It. I've heard of it though! It's on ABC Family right?

Book freakz said: Sniffle... Bursts out crying! Why? Why do you only have a few more updates? Bursts out crying... Ok i'm done. Sniffle. Bursts out crying again. No No! Not a few updates until the story is over! Just a few during summer!

CimFan said: Lucky you. Only 22 reviews? I wish I was that lucky. I get barely 5. Ok, so I felt bad when I first read this review so I went onto your profile to review you. 5 reviews? I'm pretty sure I saw more than 400. Caught ya darlin.

I-Was-Born-To-Be-Somebody said: Just one question why did the room turn silent then into whispers when the walked into English? Well, think about it. If the popular girl (**cough** Annabeth **cough**) was seen sitting with the new "unpopular" guy (**cough** Percy **cough**) then wouldn't some rumors go up?

Zhxnsjsmwudbs said: How could you just write an amazing story and then not finish it ?: No! I'm not not going to finish it! I just might not update as much while school is out!

Jacksonluver101 asked: Why were people staring and whispering? And what about Thalico? And Groniper? Well, refer 2 answers up for the first question. And I thought but apparently was wrong made it clear his story is PERCABETH. So you get percabeth.

Thefrey7598 asked: So is this a date? Also is Thalico going to happen? Are other characters from the books coming in? It's not really a date date. Just a bunch of friends hanging out. Refer one answer up. You'll just have to see...

On Friday afternoon I walked up the front steps to Annabeth's cabin. I knocked on the door. I heard footsteps inside, and Annabeth opened the door.

"Percy! You're early!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, I wanted to see if I could help any." I offered.

"Well, there's not much to set up." she admitted.

"Well, then I'll go…"

"Oh no! You're fine! Come in!" she said motioning me inside.

I followed her.

The cabin was set up much like mine. It had one big room with a kitchen in the front and a counter overlooking the bedroom part, but in the bedroom section the bed was moved over to one side and an angled sofa was in front of the TV.

Annabeth must have caught my stare.

"You get a sofa if you stay here year round" she explained.

"You stay here all year?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I don't have anywhere to go." she answered.

The way she looked down at her shoes told me not to press onward.

"What are we gonna watch?" I asked her.

"I don't know. Thalia's bringing the movie and Juniper's bringing the pizza." she explained.

"Cool."

The phone rang. Annabeth blushed.

"Sorry, I have to get that."

She picked up the phone and stepped outside to talk.

I looked around again. My eyes caught on Annabeth's desk.

Does her desk have maps and files in it too?

I walked over to it and opened the drawer. All that was in it was a bunch of writing utensils and notebooks.

I sighed and closed the drawer.

I looked at the papers strewn on the top. I flipped one over and took a look. They were blueprints. I turned over another. They were full of buildings and what looked like monuments. I'm no architect, but from what I could tell, they were spectacular. They were all gorgeous and efficient.

I didn't notice Annabeth next to me.

"What are you doing?" she asked and I jumped.

"Oh sorry, just looking. I didn't know you were into architecture." I said.

"Yeah" she blushed "I want to be an architect. I- I want to build something permanent."

"Like what?" I asked.

"I don't know." she answered "You know how the Parthenon still stands today?"

"Yeah"

"Well," she sat down on her bed," I want to build something like that."

I sat down next to her.

"I want to build something that lasts a long time, but I want it to last longer than the Parthenon. I want it to be permanent." she looked at me, "Do you think I'm crazy?"

"No!" I answered "You're not crazy! Nothing's crazy… except for my 6th grade math teacher… she was pretty crazy…"

She laughed.

"What's your dream?" she asked.

"I don't know." I answered "I guess I'm kind of a 'go with the flow person."

"That's cool." Annabeth said.

Our gaze caught and I suddenly realized we were all alone. I suddenly realized how close we were. I suddenly realized how I subconsciously smiled at her. I suddenly realized-

We both jumped as there was a knock on the door.

"It's open!" Annabeth shouted at the door.

Thalia and Juniper opened the door, carrying the pizza. Thalia stopped at the door when she saw us. She smiled.

"Are we interrupting anything?" she asked with a glint in her eye.

"THALIA!" Annabeth scolded.

Thalia dodged a shoe aimed at her head.

"Well sorry! I was just asking!"

"Just ignore her Percy" Annabeth said to me as we got up and walked to the kitchen "That's what I do."

"Thanks" Thalia said sarcastically "I feel loved"

"We brought Hunger Games!" Juniper interrupted. (It's out on DVD in my world. Don't question my world. Awesome things happen in my world. But don't worry; it's coming out on DVD in your world on August 18… PERCY'S BIRTHDAY!)

"Awesome!" Grover said as he came through the door, Nico trailing behind.

"Do I smell pizza?" Nico asked.

"Yes, you do." Thalia snapped at him "But you don't get any, remember?"

Nico's eyes widened, "WHA-"

"Can't you guys get along for just tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah Nico, stop being so annoying for just tonight-"

"Thalia" Juniper warned.

Thalia collapsed on the couch with her arms across her chest.

As Annabeth opened the pizza boxes the smell of fresh pizza filled the room.

"First come first serve!" Annabeth said.

We all crowded around the boxes and fought for some pizza.

"Try to be civilized please!" Juniper exclaimed.

"Juniper, there is pizza" Grover explained with his mouth full of pizza "You can't expect us to be civilized"

Juniper rolled her eyes and got a piece.

When we all got our pizza we crowded on the sofa. Thalia put the movie in and we watched it.

Apparently Nico thinks violence is hilarious. He laughed every time. WHOOSH! Someone gets shot. Nico bursts out laughing. BOOM! Someone gets blown up. Nico bursts out laughing. AHHHHHH! Someone falls into a pack of hungry wolves. Nico bursts out laughing… again.

It was a very violent movie.

The first time Annabeth shot me a confused look. I just shrugged. By the last time she looked very worried for Nico.

So much for making an impression.

By the end of the movie it was late.

Nico was still laughing uncontrollably.

Thalia looked like she was going to fall asleep right there on the couch. Juniper and Grover were yawning. And Nico… Nico was still laughing… but not as hard. I was pretty tired myself.

I looked over at Annabeth.

She didn't look fazed at all. Her eyes were wide open and alert. I noticed I hadn't heard her yawn once.

"We should all probably head back to our cabins." Juniper suggested.

"Yeah" everyone agreed.

We all go up.

"Thanks Annabeth" everyone said as they walked out the door.

"Do you need any help cleaning up?" I asked Annabeth after everyone left.

"Oh no. I'm fine!" she assured me "You look tired, you should probably go to your cabin too"

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Positive" she answered with a smile.

She was certainly wide awake.

"Ok" I turned around when I got to the door "Thanks Annabeth, I had fun"

She looked up and smiled.

"We won't have anything next Friday. But as soon as the weather gets good we're going to the island."

Over the next week Annabeth, Thalia, Juniper, Grover, Nico, and I had grown to be good friends. We would all walk to classes together, talk together, and even sat at the same table at lunch. We even got Nico and Thalia to get along… sort of. There was a lot of threatening involved. There was a lot of whispering from our peers though. I guess Annabeth being popular didn't help with that.

We would all meet up at someone's cabin to go homework every night. Apparently I was the only person that didn't stay all year. Thalia would always copy her math homework for Annabeth. I didn't press on the situation.

Annabeth turned out to be a good tutor for me when I didn't understand my homework. She had pretty good patience with me. When she had to explain something to me more than three times I would just tell her I was thick, and she would laugh. Then her books would fall off the sofa , and I would catch them with inhuman speed. She would blush and thank me.

I am quite the gentleman.

Annabeth and I would always get paired up in Combat. The whole class found it entertaining to watch us fight each other.

Our time in Social and Environmental brought us together more. Annabeth and I became comfortable with each other around. I felt as though I had known her all my life.

But there were things Annabeth would stay clear of. She never talked about her ability or past, and whenever I brought it up, she just found a way to change the subject.

I told her about my family. My dad had left before my mom had me, and my mom recently remarried to my stepfather Paul. Annabeth liked hearing about the things my mom did for me. I started to question if she had a mother.

I had become good friends with the headmaster also. Mr. Sedel had approached me in the middle of the week and introduced himself. He was very nice and didn't look like he wanted to crazy murder me, so I guess it's not 8th grade all over again. He told me to come to him if I needed anything. I might have to go to him about my desk drawer.

One night everyone was piled in my cabin, finished with their homework and bored as can be. I kept looking over at my desk.

Should I tell them?

"Hey guys?" I asked.

"Yeah" they chorused.

"Do you guys have creepy files and maps of the school in your desk drawer that you don't know where they came from?" I asked quickly.

"No" Annabeth answered slowly "Do you?"

"Kinda"

"Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed "Why didn't you tell us before!"

We all crowded around my desk as I opened the drawer.

"I didn't think it was that important" I answered.

Everyone reached in and grabbed something from the drawer.

"Whoa" Grover said as he looked at the satellite map.

"Percy" Annabeth flipped over her file and pointed to the logo on the back"These are school files. How did you get them?"

"I told you Annabeth! I just opened my drawer the first day and there they were!" I explianed.

"Mine isn't a school file" Juniper stated.

"Nico" Thalia smiled evilly "I found your file."

She held it up for him to see. Nico swatted for it.

"Give it!"

"Look at this" Annabeth said.

She grabbed a map out of my desk.

"It's all the cabins. It even tells who live in them!" Annabeth exclaimed.

"And why would that be in Percy's cabin?" Grover asked.

"Wow" Nico interrupted. He was looking through his file "Someone's been stalking me!"

We all crowded around him and looked at the file. He was right. There were photos of him walking, eating at restaurants, sitting on a bench, ect.

"Guys…." Annabeth interrupted "Look at the time" she pointed to the clock "We need to go. It's way past curfew."

"Guys go! They'll see the lights on!" I said ushering them out the door.

"Same time same place?" Thalia asked.

"Yeah" I answered.

I watched them run to their cabins.

Annabeth stopped at the door of her cabin. She looked to the side and saw me. She smiled and waved.

I waved back.

How was it?
