AtlantaJackson95 said: Have you ever read Graceling? In it, the main character, Katsa, has the ability of SURVIVAL. She never tires; she tells herself when she's going to wake up; she's exceptionally talented at everything she does, INCLUDING COMBAT...The reason I'm asking: THAT'S my guess. Does Annabeth have the ability of Survival? I HAVE READ IT! IT'S AMAZING! But no, that's not her ability. Good guess though!

Guest said: U make it sound like the cartoon tower prep Everyone keeps talking about Tower Prep! WHAT IS TOWER PREP? And why is it cartoony…
Goddess of the Tides said: Oooo is annabeths ability being able to see things that noone else can c, for example the dew on a spider web or the indication of a footprint on the ground, being able to c the little things. Whoa that's really cool! But no, that's not it. Sowwy!
Queen of Reading said: Is Annabeth's ability anything that has to do emotions? Like, fixing them or maybe controlling them because her parents abandoned her and now she's healing the gang? This probably so off... It is off, but I swear you guys have the best ideas! I would have never thought of that!
You'llNeverKnow1212 said: Why didn't I get an answer in the author note thingy?
Even if i didn't really ask a question. Well, if you don't really ask a question, I don't have anything to answer! and if you really did ask a question, if the question's already been asked and answered, I don't answer it! You guys should be reading all these answers! they answer all your questions!
Love H.O.A Mikayla said: This is the best story EVER.

Towerprepfan said: I totally agree with Love H.O.A Mikayla. Did you watch Tower Prep? Why is everyone talking about Tower Prep? WHAT THE HECK IS TOWER PREP!? WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IT IS?! I feel so left out…
03 said: Alrite here's my first question: when will we find out junipers ability? Y is there a pool if there r currently NO people with water abilities at the school? Is annabeth's ability kinda like super intelluctual smarts? Cuz she had a head ache in the last chappy. That would make her good at everything becuz she's not gonna be stupid. also do u have a schedule when u update? Anyway. Good job. I noticed a couple of spelling/grammer errors. But hey, everyones got those. So just keep UPDATING. Juniper's ability is coming! There's a pool because there used to be people with water abilities. No, her ability's not intelligence. No schedule for when I update, just when I finish the chapter. Or get enough reviews.
Creamoe said: I just found this story this morning, and I have to say, I'm inpressed.
Just one little thing for this chapter. Motor boats don't have anchors. You tie them to the dock with rope. My friend's has an anchor. And it has a rope. You can have both! a rope's not gonna help you when you're out in the middle of nowhere…
xXAnnabethJacksonXx said: When will they kiss? It MUST be soon! Also, just a random question that came to mind: Team Jasper or team Pipeo? Plz update! The kiss is coming soon! I am Team Jasper! If Rick Riordan wanted Piper to be with Leo then Jason would wake up to Leo and Piper holding hands.
percabethrules123 said: It would be cool if the legicies(sorry my spelling SUCKS!) got them, brought them to camp half blood and they all got claimedThat's a cool idea, but they're all human… to a degree… ok so NOT human… Ok, I think I'll say they're not demigods.

Don't Stop Beliving said: what's your new story about? check at the bottom author's note!
I walked to Mr. Jones's desk groggily and turned in my math test. Math was my first subject today, and I'm pretty sure I failed that test. I can barely walk straight, much less think straight.
When we got back last night we all ran to our cabins without even a goodbye, terrified that the Legacies would come for us. I still had a bad feeling someone knew we were there last night.
But I also had a different subject nagging at my brain.
Annabeth.
Last night something happened between us. We almost kissed. Almost. I don't know how it happened, but we were defiantly going to. Atleast I think so. I don't really know if she likes me! I'm not even sure if I like her or not! Before this we were just good friends trying to piece this whole Goode High School mystery, and now…
I shook my head. Too early for that kind of thinking.
RING!
Saved by the bell. I grabbed all my stuff and walked to my locker. I stuffed all my stuff inside and shut the door before everything could spill out. I had Social and Environmental next, so I walked over to Annabeth's locker. She was putting her stuff back in her perfectly neat locker.
"Hey Annabeth." I said yawning and leaning on the locker next to hers.
"Hey Percy." she closed her locker and turned to me with a smile "Everyone's meeting at your cabin for Social and Environmental."
"Aren't you tired?" I asked as we started to walk.
Annabeth looked fully awake, even though she could have only gotten about 2 hours of sleep.
"Yeah!" she answered quickly "I'm just good at hiding it."
She was lying.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yup." she answered, giving me a smile.
I decided I'd let it go.
"Annabeth! Annabeth!" I heard behind us.
Both Annabeth and I turned around to see a blonde girl with glasses and a tape recorder running toward us.
"Hi!" she said panting as she got to us "My name is Ruth Hunter, and I work for the school newspaper! We're starting a column called 'Rumor Control', and I'd like to confirm the rumors with you Annabeth." she turned to me "And a few with you too Percy."
Sometimes I forget Annabeth's popular.
"Um…" Annabeth shot me a sideways look "Sure?"
"Sure." I said slowly.
"Ok," the girl flipped through her clipboard and turned her recorder on, "First question- Annabeth, Are you a natural blonde?"
"Yes." Annabeth answered.
"Ok," she turned to me "Percy- do you wear green contacts?"
"No." I answered.
"Even better" she mumbled "Annabeth" Ruth continued "Is your ability intelligence?"
Annabeth tensed.
"No" she answered firmly, clearly uncomfortable.
I touched her arm to calm her down.
"Percy." Ruth interrupted us "Is it true that you stole school files?"
I stopped my eyes from widening.
"No." I answered "Who said that?"
"It doesn't matter." Ruth said quickly "Were you two out on a date last night?"
"No!" Annabeth and I answered together.
Ruth looked between the two of us and wrote one last thing down on her clipboard.
"Thanks guys!" she said before walking away.
Someone nudged my head.
"Percy, wake up. We found something." Annabeth whispered.
Something tickled my nose, and I opened my eyes groggily. It took me a minute to focus, but I saw blonde curls. I lifted my head up and blushed when I realized I'd been using Annabeth's shoulder as a pillow. I looked over at the file in Annabeth's lap and everyone else crowded around.
"It's a file on The Legacies." Annabeth explained excitedly. "It says here that they were brought over from Greece to take care of Goode. They like to live in areas separated from the general public." Annabeth turned the page "Here's a picture of Legacy armor."She pointed to a picture of heavy-looking armor," she turned the page "And-" she stopped.
"What?" Thalia asked.
There were no more pages left.
"Half of this file is missing!" Annabeth exclaimed.
I closed my locker and started to walk down the hall. I had snuck out of dinner and was heading to my cabin.
My mind automatically thought of Annabeth. I was still so confused. I had no idea if I liked her. Yeah, she's nice and pretty and caring and-
No! Stop thinking about her!
She didn't really act like she liked me, but we hadn't really had any time alone, so I didn't know if she wanted to act like it never happened, or talk about it, or…
"Mr. Jackson?" someone asked behind me.
I turned around to see Mr. Sedel walking toward me.
"What are you doing here?" he asked "Aren't you supposed to be at dinner?"
Caught.
"Well, I-"
Mr. Sedel held up a hand.
"I understand." he said "To tell you the truth, I used to do the same thing. I needed some time to think." he motioned forward "Shall we walk?"
We started down the hall.
"Now Percy is something wrong?" he asked, studying my face.
"No." I lied.
Mr. Sedel sighed.
"Percy, I'm afraid you're a terrible liar. Is it a girl?" he asked.
I didn't answer.
"I see." he said "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." he said.
"Have you ever liked someone?" I asked.
Where did that come from?
"Why Percy, I have." he sighed "When I was a student here, there was a girl named Elizabeth. I swear every single boy at the time had a crush on her. Except for me. I knew she was pretty and all, but I just didn't have any feelings for her. One day she dropped her books in the hallway, and being the person I am, I helped her pick them up."
He smiled at me
"After that, we became best friends. We did everything together. I trusted her with my life. Then things started to change. I started to feel that little click. I knew I had fallen for her. She didn't act like she liked me at all. I never told her I liked her."
He glanced at me.
"Big mistake. She got together with my best friend."
I was speechless. I felt terribly sorry for Mr. Sedel. He must have been so heartbroken…
He looked at me.
"Ok, I told you. Now you tell me." he said "I don't plan on telling anyone. I might be able to help."
I sighed.
"Ok, so there's this girl. We've been friends for a while. She hasn't acted like she has feelings for me at all."
"Typical." Mr. Sedel interrupted.
"But then one day I tripped, and long story short, we almost kissed. But we were interrupted. We both leaned in, but I'm not really sure about my feelings right now. And we haven't really been alone so I don't know if she's gonna act as if it never happened." I looked down at my hands "I don't know what to do."
"That's a hard one." Mr. Sedel said.
"Tell me about it." I said with a laugh "Should I talk to her about it?"
"What are you going to tell her? You don't know your own feelings yet." he said.
"You have a point." I said.
"Exactly." he said.
He stopped in front of his office and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Talk to her when you have your feelings sorted out." he said, looking me in the eye.
"I will." I said.
He smiled and turned around and opened his door. I turned and started down the hall.
"Percy! Wait!" Mr. Sedel said.
I turned around.
"Please tell Annabeth I'm terribly sorry." he looked worried "I had to do it or else she would have been expelled."
"Had to do what?" I asked urgently.
"She'll know soon." was the last thing he said before he shut the door.
Dinner had ended and kids started flooding the halls to get their homework from their locker.
She would have been expelled…
I ran through the crowd as fast as I could, turning the corners, ignoring people telling me to 'Watch it!'.
Annabeth was standing at her locker, looking at a sheet of paper, gaping and looking like she was going to cry.
I stopped next to her.
"Annabeth what's wrong?" I asked regaining my breath.
She looked up from the paper and met my eyes. They were full of fear. I took the paper from her and read it.
Annabeth Chase is to report to Math Class tomorrow during 3rd period. The consequence of not showing up is expulsion.
Sincerely,
K. Sedel
Sorry early readers! I forgot the line breaks :(((((
Oh no! PoorAnnabeth… Did you catch that Annabeth ability hint in there? It was a small one. Most of you probably didn't notice, but if you did, good for you! Trust me, when you find out what her ability is and read over all this again, you'll want to hit your head on the wall for missing all of these.
Anyway, some people keep asking about my new story (what it's about and such). So I decided I'd give you a little rough draft summary! Here goes nothing!
Annabeth Chase was in a car accident that killed her parents instantly. It left her legs paralyzed. Ever since, all she has wanted to do is walk again. But all 13 doctors told her the same thing – she'd never be able to walk again. Percy Jackson is the best physical therapist on the east coast. He's known for his miracles. Will he be able to help Annabeth walk again?
Did you like it? FYI…. MAJOR PERCABETH FLUFF.
Coolio.
