Piper shared a smile with Calypso as the two laid eyes on their close blond-haired friend. Annabeth looked rather shyly around the halls as she walked the path towards her locker where her two friends were waiting. There wasn't a set of eyes that wasn't looking at the figure skater. Or more importantly…what said girl was wearing. Piper wanted to jump from excitement but refrained herself from doing so. Whispers amongst groups of people and jealous stares from several of their female classmates could be observed from afar as Annabeth made her way down the hall. Piper and Calypso instantly started bombarding her with questions when she finally made it to them.

"What-"

"When-"

"How-"

They took turns cutting each other off and Annabeth stared at the scene amusedly. She fiddled with a loose strand of hair on the side of her face that must've come out from the two braids she'd decided to put her blonde curls into. Along with the two braids she had on a pair of dark skinny jeans, white converse, and of course the thing practically everybody in the school was staring at, the Trident's hockey jersey with the name Jackson imprinted on the back. She was practically swimming in the jersey because of how big it was on her, but it was the most comfortable and warm piece of clothing she had ever worn. Finally, Calypso paused in her questions so that Piper could speak.

"Percy asked you to be his girlfriend?!" She asked excitedly. Annabeth responded by blushing and then giving a slight head nod to which Calypso chimed in loudly.

"When?!" The younger girl interrogated.

"Last Friday-"

"Last Friday?! Why did you wait an entire week to tell us?" Piper said exasperatedly.

It was true. It had been exactly a week since the night Percy had brought Annabeth up to the rooftop and given her his jersey. Every time she thought about the memory a smile appeared on her face. It was now the day of the state final's hockey game. Annabeth thought it would be a good idea to wait until she wore the jersey to school in support of the team and let her friends figure it out themselves. It wouldn't be hard considering it was a tradition for a girl to wear a hockey player's jersey on game day if she had one. She'd told Percy and for that reason that entire week at school leading up to Friday, Percy had tried hard not to make it seem as if anything had changed between them. At times though he couldn't help himself and would do things like sneakily hold her hand while they ate lunch and she would gladly let him.

It wasn't that they thought their friends wouldn't approve. Hell, half of them had practically been begging the two of them to just get together already. It was more because Annabeth simply wanted to keep the relationship private between the two of them for the first couple days they were official.

As Annabeth was about to explain this all to Piper and Calypso, she was interrupted by a loud gasp from behind. Looking to see who it could be, she wasn't surprised when her eyes met those of Will Solace with Nico close behind. Oh no, here it comes thought Annabeth.

"Y-you and P-percy?! Is it true? Tell me I'm not dreaming!" The sun-kissed male said joyfully, jumping up and down like some happy kangaroo.

Annabeth tried her best not to laugh at his behavior and nodded her head to which he responded by letting out a high-pitched squeal. Nico gave her a warm smile before rolling his eyes at his boyfriend's behavior. Will almost seemed happier about her being with Percy than she did.

"Umm…are you two ok?" She asked Piper and Calypso, waving a hand across their faces. They seemed to be thinking about something very deeply.

Annabeth then took notice of the fact that the three of them now had Trident hockey jerseys on. Piper of course had Jason's with the number 5 on the back, Calypso had Leo's with the number 30 that he'd given her a couple weeks ago, and now Annabeth had one with the number 1 splayed across the back. The only difference was the fact that the jersey Annabeth wore had the letter C on the front for captain. She smiled, what a long way they had come from being practically arch enemies with the Trident's team. Piper and Calypso seemed to snap out of their trance at the same time.

"Annabeth…you do realize that you're the first girl to ever wear Percy's jersey, right?" Calypso brought up. Piper nodded rather aggressively in agreement.

"It's true! He's the only player who's never given out his jersey for anyone to wear. This is a huge deal Annabeth!" The kaleidoscope eyed girl shouted, adding her emphasis by grabbing Annabeth's shoulders and shaking them.

She steadily took Piper's hands off her a second later as Will clapped his hands excitedly. She rolled her eyes at her ridiculous friends but couldn't help the blush that came to her cheeks at the thought of her being the only girl to ever wear the jersey with the number 1 on the back. She knew that was a big reason as to why she was getting so many envious looks from her fellow Goode students a few feet away as she stood next to her locker.

"Will you all just calm down?" She said, trying her best to sound serious but failing to keep the smile on her face at bay.

"Calm down? Calm down?! This is not a matter in which one can 'calm down' Annabeth! Percabeth is finally happening!" Will argued, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Once again, Annabeth found herself rolling her eyes at her friend's behavior. There was no way of getting Will back to normal for a while. Before she could think any more on the subject, she heard the whispering around her get louder and assumed that could only mean one thing. Turning away from her group of friends, her thoughts were confirmed.

Percy Jackson was making his way down the hallway with Jason and Leo at his side. Annabeth didn't think there would ever be a day when Percy didn't look attractive. He was wearing a dark green tight-fitted shirt with jeans and his black converse. He wore a black jacket over top for protection against the cold weather and a black belt around his waist. His smile was infectious when his gaze landed on Annabeth in his jersey. He quickened his pace, looking at her and only her. The hall went dead silent, everyone waiting to see what was going to happen.

He didn't stop once he'd gotten to the group like Annabeth had expected him to. Instead he grabbed hold of one of Annabeth's hands, pulling her right up against him as she let out a sound of surprise. He placed his forehead against hers and Annabeth found herself having trouble standing up straight.

"I assume I can kiss you in public now?" He asked in a hushed voice. She smiled and nodded her head, confirming his assumption that she'd told her friends.

He grinned and leaned in further, closing the gap between the two of them and placing his hands on her waist. She placed her hands around his neck and kissed him back. Realizing that they were being watched by everyone in the entire hall, Annabeth broke away after a couple seconds much to Percy's disappointment.

"Good morning Princess"

"Good morning to you too Hockey Boy" She whispered back before pulling away completely.

Jason and Leo had their jaws open in shock. Percy must have kept his promise and not told either of them as well. Annabeth blushed and fell against Percy's chest shyly. He wrapped an arm around her and chuckled before explaining everything to his two friends.

"You look absolutely adorable in that jersey by the way." He whispered into her ear once he was done. Annabeth bit her lip and smiled up at him, blushing furiously.

"You two are so cute! I think I might faint. Nico catch me if I do." Will Solace commented. Nico's eyes widened comically at the prospect of having to possibly keep his boyfriend from falling. Not only was Will taller than him but Nico also wasn't known to be the strongest guy around.

Annabeth said something in response to Will's comment that made the others laugh but Percy didn't hear it. He was too busy staring down at the girl under his arm. Seeing her in his hockey jersey made him want to kiss her senseless. He refrained from doing so, although it was very difficult. The braids she'd decided to put her hair into went with the oversized jersey so well. She laughed at something Leo said and Percy smiled. If that laugh was the last thing he ever heard he'd die happy. Gods what the hell? Get ahold of yourself! He thought internally.

"…-rcy…-ercy…Perce…PERCE!" Percy was brought back to reality with Jason's shout.

"Sorry what?" He said stupidly, turning his attention away from the blonde figure skater under his arm and towards his good friend and fellow teammate who smiled at him knowingly.

"Bell just rang." Jason explained.

"Oh, right yeah. So, I'll catch up with you later?" He asked, turning back to Annabeth who was placing the books she didn't need in her locker. She spun back around to face him and smiled.

She nodded and then surprised both him and herself by putting a hand on his shoulder and leaning up to give him a soft kiss on the cheek. "See you later" She said afterwards. He grinned like he just won a million bucks and she giggled.

"Come on Romeo, we can't be late to any classes on game day!" Jason scolded, grabbing Percy's arm and practically dragging him away from Annabeth.

Annabeth laughed at the sight of Jason pulling Percy away after saying goodbye to Piper. She noticed Jason put Percy into a headlock as they walked. Percy shoved him off while the two of them laughed. They turned a corner and were out of sight.

She hugged her biology textbook for first period against her chest and started on her way to class where she would tell Thalia about her new relationship with her cousin twenty minutes later and Thalia would just snort and mutter "I called it. Nico owes me five bucks, he said you two would get together after the state finals game and I said before." And then Annabeth would punch her while secretly smiling to herself.

She'd been smiling quite a lot that morning.

"So it's true then?" Annabeth heard a voice ask as she took her seat in math. She turned to her left and was greeted by the familiar face of Luke Castellan who had decided to take the desk right next to her.

She had definitely not been expecting him to talk to her much less sit next to her instead of his usual spot a few desks away. Luke had been staring at her jersey when he asked the question so Annabeth could only assume he was referring to the rumor about her and Percy that was spreading around the school faster than wildfire. She didn't know if more people were talking about the state finals game scheduled for that night or her and Percy's relationship. Coming out of her thoughts, she realized she still hadn't answered Luke's question.

"Um…yeah" She answered awkwardly. She fidgeted with her hands and tried not to look directly at him.

"Always knew it would be him. Wouldn't be the first time Jackson's gotten the girl." He mumbled casually. She realized at once he was referring to Reyna.

Annabeth didn't think she had ever been in a more uncomfortable situation. It was crazy to think that she even had two guys interested in her to begin with and now she was having a conversation with the one she hadn't picked. Not only that but he had just casually brought up Reyna who had been in a very similar situation to her. She didn't know how to respond so she chose silence. Usually during their now rare tutoring sessions they could just focus on studying but seeing as how the class hadn't started yet, Annabeth was at a loss. He spoke again not even a minute later.

"Can I just ask…why him?" Luke didn't sound angry or annoyed, it surprised Annabeth. He sounded disappointed but also genuinely curious.

Again, Annabeth found herself not knowing what to say. She knew it wouldn't be appropriate to say that she picked Percy because every time she saw him her heart skipped a beat. Every time he smiled at her she felt her legs turn to jelly. Whenever she looked into his gorgeous green eyes she was mesmerized. That she'd picked him because she had never connected to anyone like she had with Percy. He was funny and outgoing but could also be vulnerable and compassionate when he needed to be. Yeah, that's definitely not something you should explain to Luke her conscious muttered, snapping her out of her thoughts.

The truth was she thought of Luke as more like a brother it just took her a while to come to that realization. She figured it would be best not to tell him that either though. It probably wouldn't be something he wanted to hear.

"Luke-…I just…I never wanted to hurt you honest. I can't help who I develop feelings for. I'm sorry." She gently explained.

The captain of the wrestling team stared at her. Annabeth noticed his eyes were filled with sorrow but also something else that she couldn't quite decipher. He looked hurt but his facial features also held an expression of understanding. It was like he knew exactly what her response was going to be.

"I hope Jackson knows he's one hell of a lucky guy." Annabeth stared back at him with a small smile that almost looked forced.

"Luke I-" She started but he cut her off mid-sentence.

"I don't know if I'll ever get over you but what I do know is that I'd still like to be in your life if you'll have me. What do you say Blondie…friends?" He sent a small smile her way and stuck his hand out in between them.

Annabeth grinned, a huge weight coming off of her shoulders after Luke's words. She reached for his hand and shook it.

"Friends" Luke smiled widely and then detached his hand from hers. A second later he turned back to her.

"But just so you know this doesn't mean I'm all the sudden going to be best pals with Percy Jackson. If he ever hurts you I'll kill him." The blonde-haired boy stated. He even went as far as making a motion with his pointer finger cutting his throat jokingly to emphasize his point.

Annabeth laughed and he snickered. Glad to have the tension clear between them, she focused her attention back to the board just as their teacher made her way into the classroom, cutting off the excited whispers amongst the class of the big state finals hockey game that would take place in a few hours time.

The fact that it was the day of the big game and the whole school was depending on the Trident's team to win didn't seem to be bothering Percy as much as he thought it would. He figured it had something to do with a certain blonde who was now his girlfriend. The thought itself was enough to bring a smile to his face. The whole day he hadn't been able to focus on anything in his classes because all he could think about was how in the world he got Annabeth Chase to go out with him. It was now the last period of the day otherwise known as English and he was sitting next to Jason as they worked on the class assignment.

"I still can't believe you didn't tell me about you and Chase dude." Jason said, interrupting his thoughts and shaking his head back and forth in disapproval as he looked at Percy.

Percy chuckled, his gaze shifting to where Ms. Williams was sitting at her desk. After making sure their English teacher was preoccupied staring at something on her computer, the captain of the Trident's team stopped writing and focused his attention on his blonde-haired teammate.

"I promised Annabeth I wouldn't. Besides, if I told you there's no way you would've kept it from Piper and then soon enough everyone would know."

"I can keep a secret!" Jason said in a tone of mock hurt. Percy gave him a knowing look, raising his eyebrows sarcastically.

"Oh please, Piper has you wrapped around her finger." He argued.

Jason sputtered. "Look who's talking! I saw you this morning Romeo. It doesn't take a genius to see that Annabeth has you completely whipped."

Percy ran a hair through his hair shyly, leaning over to punch Jason rather harshly on the arm.

"Shut up" He muttered. Jason grabbed his arm in pain, shoving him right back.

"Kind of funny don't you think?" He asked. Percy stared at him confusedly.

"What?"

"Well it's just if you told me a few months ago that you and Chase were going to end up together I would've thought you were insane. You two hated each other." Jason explained.

"Hey, it wasn't just us two! Our whole team didn't get along with the figure skaters remember?" Percy replied.

"Oh come on. I'll admit we had our differences but most of the reason why there used to be such a big feud was because you and Annabeth couldn't spend more than five minutes together without screaming at each other."

The raven-haired boy blushed a light pink color. "Well we've definitely come a long way from that."

"Hell yeah we have. Leo and I are both dating figure skaters and our team captain is now going out with the top figure skater! Things have definitely changed." Jason said rather loudly. Percy snickered, nodding his head in agreement.

"Mr. Grace, Mr. Jackson might I remind you there is an assignment due by the end of class. I suggest you get to work if you don't want to end up in detention." Ms. Williams scolded, staring straight across the room at the two boys sitting in the back.

Percy and Jason quickly turned back towards their desks and picked up their pencils. Coach Hedge would most definitely murder them if he found out they had afterschool detention on game day and had to miss practice before the game, especially when it was the biggest game of the season.

The rest of the class was a blur as Percy's mind filled with images of a familiar girl with grey eyes and blonde hair wearing his hockey jersey.

That's it for chapter 34! Hope you guys liked all the Percabeth in this update! Also I decided there needed to be some type of closure with Luke and Annabeth. I don't think he'll be in much of the rest of the story but we'll see. So what did you guys think of everything? I almost had the guys wear their jerseys too but decided against it since they will be wearing theirs in the next update. But let me know all your thoughts about this chapter! I'll try to get the next update out as soon as I can but for now enjoy the super cute and fluffy Percabeth! Love you guys!
