CHAPTER 4

I do not own any of the PJO or HOO characters; those belong to Uncle Rick

Annabeth POV

Great! I have gym one my FIRST day! It's a good thing I brought gym clothes just in case. After three periods without Percy and one without any of my friends I was beyond excited to have Percy in this class.

After I changed and when I walked out to the gym I almost fainted right then, Coach Hedge was the gym teacher! He looked over to where I was standing and his scowl turned into a grin. "Annabeth!" "Hey Coach! How is Millie and Chuck?" "Good, good. Chuck took his first steps a couple days ago! How are things going with your Da-" "So… are we gonna do anything today?" some guy I assumed to be the stereotypical jock asked, flexing his muscles.

"Alright cupcakes! Today we're gonna be working on your sword fighting. Now you already know that Mr. Jackson is the best of you so he'll be helping out." "You think your the best" I ask, masking my voice. "Yeah…?" "Then I challenge you to a bout." Everyone in the room gasps as I step out of the crowd. He smirks, "Choose your weapon." I take out my ivory sword careful not to cry out from the painful memories.

When we start sparing I get a few slashes at him but when he gets a little bit of skin we stop. But as soon as I determine that it's not very deep, "You are SO gonna pay for that Seaweed Brain" I growl. After a little while longer he pulls the disarming trick that Luke taught him. I hardly falter as I roundhouse kick his sword out of his hand and flip him over my shoulder.

I press my knee into his chest and whip out my pocket knife. I press the blade into his neck, "Say it Percy." "Umm… I love you?" "Say it if you want me to let you up and kiss you ever again." "Fine," he looks at the class, "Annabeth is amazing and the best at everything." I put my knife away and lean down to give him a kiss.

Rachel POV

I run into gym class, late, and see the same Annie chick from earlier fighting him! I go to run and help him but then see him hit the sword out of her hand. I stand there with a smug look probably on my face.

But then, right before my eyes, she has him down on the ground with a knife under his chin and he's saying she's the best at everything and he loves her, then they're kissing. I clench my fists and listen as Coach claps and says, "Nice job Annabeth! It's good to see your skills haven't gotten rusty. You'll be helping the class also! Jackson! Work on your fighting! Your supposed to be good!"

I walk over to Percy as he's getting a drink in the hall way and set my hand comfortably on his arm, "I thought you did good out there." "Thanks" he looks at me uncomfortablely. I'm about to kiss him when there is the sound of feet coming behind us, it stops suddenly and Percy's eyes are wide with fear.

"P-Percy?" I reckonize the voice as annabeths and smirk. She deserved this, I've known Percy so long people think we're already dating. I hear her start to run away and Percy pushes past me to chance after her.

Another chapter done! I hope you guys are staying safe and indoors during the COVID-19 outbreak going on! But, good news, it means I have more time for my writing since there is no school. Also, sorry about the short chapter, it's just something I thought up through the haze of writer's block. In 1 hour no less! Also sry about the slight cliffhanger, but there will be worse coming up... and you know what? I'm not sorry. Pls leave a review of what you think so far it would mean a lot, I will start posting replies.

Yours always
