Thanks for the AMAZING reviews! You know they keep me going! I'm liking the answers to my question! But, I want to know what position, or what thing you do in the sport you play. If you don't play a sport, what one do you wish you could do, or the one that you think would be most fun…

For me-

*BASKETBALL- position- center or point guard (I'm 6'1'' in middle school)

TRACK- 100 meter, 200 meter, 400 meter, and Long Jump- (last meet I won all my events! AHHH!)

VOLLYBALL- Spiker

Homecoming

Chapter 5- SURPRISE!

-Annabeth POV-

I woke up the next morning, took my morning shower, and did all of that jazz. It was about seven, so I decided to turn on the news… and I think you know what was on.

"Percy Jackson was last spotted here in New York… but here's the thing. He was trapped in an elevator, and saved a young woman's life that we, as of right now, do not know the name of. Percy Jackson is now a true hero," the woman said.

I looked at the screen, my eyes wide. Did he really say that he saved my life? He could've done better? Instead, I was the one with the bloody head, and I was the one who kept calm. He went crying to his mother.

I put my feet up on the comforter, and smiled. Percy Jackson is defiantly not a hero.

"We also heard that Percy Jackson will be postponing his next tour, because he wants to have some time with his family. His agent Luke Castellen told us this morning that Percy has not seen his mother in over a year, and wished to see her again… so he is." Now that woman is making him sound like a saint.

I took the remote and turned it to discovery channel, seeing dirty jobs had a re-run going on, I watched it.

After awhile, I looked at the clock and saw it was eight… I got up reluctantly, and dried my hair.

By the time my curly mess was dry, I heard a knock on my door. "COME IN!" I yelled, knowing my friends with super-ears could hear me.

"Hey Annabeth!" Thalia and Juniper exclaimed, walking into my kitchen and pulling themselves out some pop tarts, "Want some?"

I looked at them, knowing Thalia had no sense of embarrassment. Juniper had a little red tint to her cheeks, which told me she usually didn't act like this. But hey, this is Thalia and Juniper we're talking about here.

"You're in my house, taking my food. Of course I want some, idiot," I scolded, but Thalia just shrugged it off, pulling out five pop tarts. That's half the box!

"So, who are these boys?" Thalia asked, putting the pop tarts into the toaster.

"They're Ms. Jackson's son and his friends, like I told you yesterday," I said, looking at them ecsaperatly, "Guys, I've already explained this."

"But how do we know if they're not total stalkers?" Thalia questioned, dusting off her hands, "We've never really even met them."

"Think of it as a blind date… and Ms. Jackson being the one who set it up," I suggested, but Juniper gave me the 'are you kidding me?' look.

"Just please, do this for me," I said, giving them my best puppy dog eyes I've done in awhile.

"Fine," Thalia said, and Juniper said about a second after.

They glared at me, until the toaster gave a ring, signaling that it was time to take the food out… unless you want to start a fire. Thalia and Juniper jumped, making me smirk at them.

"How many do you want?" Thalia asked, back to being her usual self. Juniper laughed at Thalia's fast bounce back.

"Two please," I said, sitting down at the bar that overlooks the kitchen. Thalia passed them to me on a paper plate that had my favorite design- a flower on the side and swirlies on the sides… it brings me back to easier days.

"I'll have one," Juniper said, sitting next to me. Thalia took two and passed a plate with one to Juni, but remained standing, facing us.

She took a bite of her cinnamon pop tart and smiled when she swallowed. "Man I love those things," she sighed, taking another bite.

Juniper and I laughed at her free will, than took a bite of ours also. I have to admit, they were pretty dang good.

oOoOoOoOoOo

I looked at the full-body mirror. Thalia and Juniper dressed me in a strapless, white sun dress that went down to the end of my thigh. Apparently mid-thigh was for dating, and well… I think you could fill in the pattern.

"I had a jean cardigan over it, making it look more casual. I wore my black all-star converse as well, pulling the day-out look all together.

Thalia had black skinny jeans, an electric blue cammie and a black cardigan. She was wearing her electric blue flats that matched her cammie. Thalia had her look perfected.

Juniper was wearing a white tank top, a red and black plad boyfriend shirt, and skinny jeans with her red chuck taylors.

All in all, we looked pretty good.

I wore minimal make-up, some lip gloss, and some foundation. But that's all. Thalia went crazy with her make-up, giving herself a smoky eye, foundation, eyeliner, mascara, and red lipstick. But you can say it went with her look. Juniper wore in the middle make-up… some eye shadow, lip gloss, foundation, and mascara.

We all piled into a taxi, and drove off to Ms. Jackson's apartment.

-Percy POV-

I was in my hotel room, as I mentally prepared myself to be seen with a bunch of nobodies. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I looked rather… handsome.

Girls always claim that my eyes are the windows to my soul, so light and vibrant. Not one of them had been right.

"Yo, Percy!" Grover called, walking into what I think was the living room.

"Yeah Grover?" I asked, walking out of the bathroom. Grover was indeed on my couch, eating popcorn. Where'd he get that anyways?

Nico's running a bit late, but he'll be here in about five- ten minutes," he said. I nodded and walked back into the bathroom, and practiced perfecting my smolder.

Girls would die to get themselves one of those.

Nico came a few minutes later, looking all ready to go. Grover and I were ready, and I looked at the clock. 11:02. Good, now it's time to go.

We got into my limo and drove off.

-Annabeth POV-

I knocked on Ms. Jackson's door, and it opened. I was ready to see someone I didn't know, when all is saw was Ms. Jackson.

"H my dears!" she exclaimed, hugging us all, "The boys are running a bit late, but Paul did manage to get here early." She let us walk in.

It was cleaner than usual, and smelled really nice… like flowers. I took a seat on the loveseat, and took a book from the stand, knowing Ms. Jackson has all of my favorites.

Pride and Prejudice. A timeless classic.

I looked up a bit to see Juniper sketching, and Thalia texting. I heard Paul Blofis, Ms. Jackson's boyfriend, and Ms. Jackson herself, talking in the kitchen. It was really a rather small apartment.

About ten minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. I didn't bother going to go get the door, knowing Ms. Jackson would want to. But to be honest… I really didn't want to get away from this book.

"Ahh! You're here!" Sally exclaimed giving someone a hug. I couldn't see him, since the door was in the way, but I did hear some snickers in the background. Probably coming from the other two.

"Hi, mom," I heard a man's voice say. He couldn't have been 3 years older than me. Or three years younger either.

"Why don't you come in?" Ms. Jackson asked, and I prepared myself for the moment of truth… but wait, I'm at the best part!

I heard them walk in, but I was too busy to look up, mainly because I was trying to speed read the best part.

I heard some gasps, and that's when I decided to look up. And I saw Percy Jackson, himself.

His face looked speechless. Our eyes met, and I immediately blushed, and looked down back at my open book. But realizing it was rude, I closed the book and put it back where I got it.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked, looking disbelieving.

"Percy Jackson… nice to see you again," I said, holding my hand out... might as well give him a try, "I'm Annabeth Chase… let's just start over."

Percy nodded, and shook my hand. But when we touched, I gasped, feeling like a thousand volts of electricity flooded through my veins. I was going to have to get used to that.

"Yeah... I guess we can," Percy said, looking back into my eyes. But as I looked into his eyes… I saw happiness, excitement, and the most weird of all… it looked as if he was holding something dark back, trying to not let it ruin who he was for the moment.

From that moment on… I guess you could say I was clueless next to Percy Jackson.

Okay, fun chapter there Review!
