Then Mr. Jones would be mad at her because he thinks she doesn't belong at the school, and all the strain of having to keep up and stuff could have been the cause of her headache...?No, she does have an ability!

Guest said: the guys don't need to work on escaping? why didn't they just have random partners and have the bigger partner "work on their grip"? really? only the girls have to be flexible? Ok, first of all, that whole thing was to establish Percy and Annabeth's relationship, so if you want Percabeth don't question. And lastly, when did I ever say that?

Skyfly45 said: was the hint intelligence. If you don't want others to know Pm me. Why the cliffhanger why. Nope, not intelligence.
Uniqueweirdo said: Is she OCD? Like, a perfectionist? Neat locker, good at everything. Fits in with her hubris in the series. And, like, she takes everything to he next level, or something? Nope, not OCD! That's her personality.
lily said: I'm sure I'm going to smack my head with a book when I find out, definitely. Your new story sounds good! I think it'll definitely be worth a read. I looooove fluff! Oh, and don't feel bad, I don't know what in Hades Tower Prep is either, but I've seen it advertised, that was a long time ago, Annabeth! That teacher hurt her, didn't he! I NEED PERCABETH! I'm sure it's coming, though...I NEED THE THALIA PICTURE! I got the Demigod Diaries on my Kindle Fire and it doesn't have the pictures! WHYY?! ...Do you like waffles? It's not fair! I have nooooooo ideaaaaaaaaaa. WAIT WAIT WAIT! HOLD UP! EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING! Demigod Diaries had pictures? Curse you nook. Gotta go to the book store, BYE!
rnburchett said: OOOOOOOOH I got it! Her ability is that she has no ability! You sly dog... oh trust me, she HAS an ability.
Guest said: Just out of curiousity, if someone does guess right will you say that it is right, even if it is before the chapter where you reveal Annabeths ability? Or will you say its wrong to throw everyone off ? Also does that mean someones already guessed right? Of course I'd say it right! I'd probably PM the person to not say anything then delete the review and tell everyone someone guess it. But trust me, no one's guessed correctly so far!
Goddess of the Tides said: Urggg... The hint? I didnt c it! Grrrrr... I need to find out all i no is that her head burts sometimes as like a symtom, some other stuff and that she isnt tired after getting only like to hours of sleep. Its a longshot guess but doesnt it have something to do with the math teacher? I no she doesnt go becuz of the teacher but is there something else causing her not to go in math class? Ahhhh! I tried to PM you, but you have your PM disabled. Oh well. Nothing to do with the math teacher. No, the teacher is the reason she doesn't go.
ilostmysanity said: I think i know what Annabeth's ability is, well, she is always wide awake, and has extreme senses. She was able to hear the noise with percy, but percy could here because of his reflexes. So i think, annabeth has nocturnal-ish ability range, like an owl, doesn't really need sleep, and enhanced senses. No, everyone could hear it if they were quiet. everyone else was just too busy dunking each other. She isn't nocturnal and needs sleep.
ZoeRose24 said: Hello. This is HannaBananaTwinny. With a different pen name. Good chapter. I do realize Annabeth doesn't have to sleep. Poor girl. She hasta go back to math class. I can't wait for the next chapter. Oh and your new story sounds good. –HannaBananaTwinny oh no, she needs sleep. thanx! I can't wait for you to read it!
Stephanie said: Is Annabeth like some type of vampire or something because she didn't look tired so she probably doesn't need to sleep and when they were watching the hunger games she didn't yawn at all. Stephanie, this isn't Twilight. She isn't a vampire.
03 said: Ok so if its not intelligence is it like telling the future? I know its juevenile but really? What else can it be? Fyi I'm talking about annabeth. And btw nice summary for ur new story. I'm gonna have to read it. And I'm officially gonna give up guessing annabeth's ability but it better not be something totally obvious or like something totally similar to my guesses cuz I'm gonna get ticked. No, sorry!
QWERTY said: IS the other key in Percy's cabin to do with the inlands like is the a hidden door that only can be opened with that door? Um, no.
random person 8 said: is annabeths ability being able to stay up without any sleep cause she never seems to be tired Nope!
That night I sat at my desk doing my homework. I didn't feel like doing my math, so I took a look at my English homework. I groaned when I realized I had to write a 5 essay paper on my future. I banged my head on the desk for good measure.
For the first time since I got to Goode I thought of my mom. I glanced at my cell phone sitting on my bed. Slowly I got up and walked over to it. I dialed my mom's number.
It rang three times before she picked up.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hey Mom."
"Percy! Oh my goodness I'm so glad you called! I've been missing you so much honey! But I'm so glad I haven't gotten a phone call about your expulsion!"
"Me too Mom.' I said with a laugh.
"Oh, honey. Paul and I miss you so much! How has school been going?" she asked.
"Good." I answered "I made a few friends."
"That's great! Does everyone have abilities there?" she asked.
"Yup." I answered "Some of them are really cool."
"Awesome! Are you doing all your homework?" she asked seriously.
I laughed.
"Yes, Mom."
"Good. I'm so glad you're making friends! They aren't juvenile delinquents right?"
"Mom!"
"I'm just kidding honey" she said with a laugh "I know you make good friends. Will you tell me about them?" she asked.
"I guess" I answered, "Grover is my neighbor. He's kind of quiet, but a kind of tree hugger. Nico's kind of dark and a little sarcastic. He likes to bicker with Thalia. Thalia is bold and sarcastic. She has a friend named Juniper. Juniper is a lot like a female version of Grover. She's quiet but friendly. And pretty eco-friendly too." I sighed "And then there's Annabeth."
"Yes?" I could hear Mom's smile.
"Annabeth… she's a little tricky. She's kind of intimidating when you first meet her, but after you get to know her, she's friendly if she likes you. She's really smart and pretty, but she doesn't like to talk about her past."
"Oh. What's her ability?" Mom asked.
"She doesn't like to talk about that either." I answered.
"Really?" Mom said "Well she probably has a good reason. It's getting late Percy. You should probably get some sleep."
"Ok Mom, I love you."
"I love you too! And I miss you!"
"I miss you too. Goodnight."
"Goodnight!"
I met Annabeth beside her locker 2nd period.
"Are you ready?" I asked her.
She took out her books and shut her locker door with a sigh.
"Ready as I'll ever be." she answered.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.
"I will not be expelled." she answered.
"Ok."
We started down the hall. Annabeth was walking a little slower than usual, but I stayed next to her the whole time.
We made it to the door. I opened it and we both walked in. Everyone was already sitting in their seats. Mr. Jones was writing on the board with his back to us. People's eyes widened when they saw Annabeth. Some people even shook their heads quickly and motioned her to leave.
But Mr. Jones turned around before she could do anything.
"Well, well, well. Look who decided to drop by." he said to Annabeth.
Annabeth sat in the desk next to mine without a word to Mr. Jones.
"Silent, huh?" I'd never seen him like this "Nothing to say about yourself after skipping class?" he spat, advancing on her "Why did you skip Miss Chase?"
Annabeth lifted her head with a calm expression.
"So I wouldn't have to see your face every day." she said calmly to him.
He retreated, surprised by her courage. He opened the Expo Marker harshly and began writing on the whiteboard. He talked and talked and did problems on the board from the textbook, until he got to number eight.
"Write 0.12*10-3 as a decimal." He said as he explained the concept to us "The answer is 0.0012, because-"
"Wrong."
He snapped around and looked at Annabeth.
"Excuse me?" he asked her threateningly.
"It's wrong."
"Oooooohhh, I see that Miss Chase is soooooo smart thatshedoesn't HAVE to listen in class! Why don't you come up to the front of the class and show us all JUST HOW SMART YOU ARE!" he yelled at her.
"But Mr. Jones, it's wrong." she said.
"Did you just talk back to me?" he spat advancing on her "Being rude to your teacher has consequences Miss Chase."
Annabeth glared at him.
"I could have gotten you fired if I wanted to." she said threateningly as she stood up.
"You wouldn't dare…"
"Oh yeah, all I have to show Mr. Sedel is this!" she uncovered her arm.
My eyes widened.
There was a large, gruesome burn scar going up her forearm.
Mr. Jones started advancing on her.
"You little-"
I jumped out of my seat and pushed Mr. Jones away from Annabeth. He staggered backwards and I shot a glance at Annabeth. She looked like she was angry at me for not letting her do that herself.
I grabbed Annabeth's wrist and dragged her out of the room.
"AND DON'T COME BACK!" Mr. Jones yelled after us as we ran down the hall.
I sat down on the beach with my forehead on my knees. Annabeth sat next to me looking out into the water. We hadn't spoken since we got down there. A thousand questions ran through my mind. I tried to block them out though.
"What makes someone hate another so much?" I thought out aloud, breaking the silence.
Annabeth didn't answer. I turned my head to her.
"Remembrance." she answered simply, still looking out at the water.
I rested my cheek on my knees, facing her.
"Remembrance of what?" I asked quietly.
She sighed and copied my position, looking into my eyes.
"Did you know Mr. Jones had a daughter?" she asked.
I held my surprise.
"No."
"Her name was Sarah. She had blonde curls and pretty gray eyes. Was the start student. But she died of cancer at the age of 16." she explained.
I understood.
"And you remind him of her."
She nodded.
"Why would you let him hit you?" I asked "You could easily deflect anyone trying to hurt you."
She smiled sadly.
"I wasn't always the fighter I am now Percy."
I nodded and turned back to the water.
"How'd he give you the burn?" I motioned to her arm.
"It's his ability." she answered "he can control fire."
"Wow." I said "I wish I had anability like that."
"Percy!" Annabeth said snapping her head towards me "You have amazing reflexes! Some people would do a lot to have that ability! Look at Grover for instance! He's stuck with making plants grow!" she paused "And some people's abilities have horrible side effects! You're really lucky Percy, so lucky!"
"I know, I know." I stopped for a moment "But why are you all worked up about it?"
"I'm not worked up" she snapped back "I'm just trying to make you realize how lucky you are."
"Why?" I asked "Are you not as lucky as I am? Oh, well I guess we'd never know because no one knows your ability."
Annabeth shot to her feet.
"I have my reasons!" she shot back.
I felt a sudden anger boil up in me. I shot to my feet and glared down at her.
"Oh yeah? And what are those reasons?"
Annabeth glared at me and glanced behind me. Her eyes widened.
"Hello Annabeth! Over here! You know when you don't tell people things as simple as your ability they start to think that maybe you don't trust them and-"
"Percy." Annabeth said, still staring behind me.
"You always try to change the subject! Every single time! I don't get why-"
"Percy." Annabeth repeated.
"What?!"
"Are you doing that?" she asked quietly.
I snapped around and saw what she had been looking at. A giant tidal wave had built up in the water. It crashed after a moment. I turned around, eyes wide.
Annabeth was staring at me.
"Percy, I think you have two abilities."
Ok guys, a few things about Annabeth's ability. I'm tired of hearing these.
1) knowledge. WRONG. Her ability has nothing to do with knowledge. Maybe if you squint REALLY hard, turned your head sideways, and do the Hokey Pokey, you might be able to see a little knowledge in it. MIGHT. MAJOR MIGHT. COLLOSAL MIGHT!
2) vampire/werewolf. WRONG WRONG WRONG! THIS ISN'T TWILIGHT PEOPLE!
3) same as Percy. WRONG. VERY different abilities.
4) no ability. WRONG. Trust me, she has one.
5) nocturnal. WRONG. She needs sleep.
6) good at everything. WRONG.
7) the same as Daedalus. WRONG.
Ok, and over the course of the story people have been asking me about Tower Prep. I had never heard of it, and had no idea what it was. Then someone told me it was a show and I used trusty NetFlix to help me out.
IT WAS REALLY GOOD! Had me off track! But I hated the cliffhanger! First they make you think the school's bad, but then it's good, and then they never tell if the people in crazy headgear were good or not, and THEN all the questions never answered! NOOOOOOOO!
But anyway, I will assure you, my story is very different from Tower Prep. The basics of the school for abilities is the same, but to tell you the truth, that's been used before. Think X-Men, Hex Hall, and even Harry Potter! Camp Half-Blood is a camp, but still. It's kinda weird about the whole reflexes thing though… that kinda creeped me out… but I got that from Percy's battle reflexes so I have a reason.
Ok, and I'd also like to apologize about the length of the chapter. I just got school internet and I'm working everything out. Also my goat Erinn is very sick and it's taking a lot out of me. Imagine like having your dog sick and might die. She's my best friend. I've been having a lot of trouble with getting my mind off of that.
But maybe some good reviews will help? Please guys? Please?
