First of all, thanks to Quiet Hiker for the wonderful review! I really appreciate it, and will take it into consideration.

Also, sorry it took me so long to post this. I was out of ideas, so this chapter will kind of be a filler until I can get to the point of the story where I can incorporate my other idea!

After fairly boring Math and Art classes, I walked out to the tree, to find everyone already there. I assumed Percy's group was talking about Greek mythology, because they were whispering frantically and I heard them say the names of some Greek gods and monsters. They were probably preparing for the test.

I went over and sat by them, and all talking suddenly ceased.

"Uh, hey. Are you guys working on the mythology for the test?" I asked.

"Yeah," Annabeth said, casting an odd glance towards the others. "We were just talking about the titan Kronos."

"You know that our test isn't on the titans, only the gods and people?" I asked. This conversation was getting steadily more suspicious; first, Percy and the Stolls were apparently studying, which I know they wouldn't do under normal circumstances. In addition, in the two days that I've known Annabeth, I've come to the conclusion that she's not a person that would mess around; she'd only study what needed to be studied when it needed to be studied.

After a moment, Annabeth responded, "Well, we'll probably have a test on the Titans eventually, so why not freshen up our knowledge on them now?" At this, the boys groaned. Clearly, they didn't like 'freshening up their knowledge.'

"Seriously Annie," Percy started, then faltered when Annabeth glared at him. "Sorry, Annabeth, do we really have to freshen up our knowledge? That sounds boring."

I laughed at Percy's whiny voice. He was giving Annabeth puppy-dog eyes, but she wasn't faltering. How could anyone resist him with those eyes? There was a few seconds of awkward silence, which I decided to break.

"So..." I started, thinking back to recent events we could talk about. I finally decided on one, and said, "Did you guys hear about the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens last summer?" I was surprised when everyone glanced at Percy, who was looking... guilty?

"Uh, yeah, we heard about it," Silena said. Rachel, the Stolls, Katie and Beckendorf were trying not to laugh (why?), but Annabeth was glaring at Percy like she wanted to murder him. Nico had a slight smile on his face.

"Why are you glaring at him, Annabeth?" I asked, before I realized what a bad idea that was.

She turned, and glared at me. It was scary.

"Lets just say, I haven't forgiven Percy for a certain... event that happened over the summer."

For some reason, it sounded like she was hinting towards the event we had been discussing, the eruption. But that's not possible; how could one person erupt a whole volcano, especially if they were in summer camp?

I was about to ask questions when the bell rang. Percy looked relieved, and we all got up and went to Greek.

As soon as I looked at the first question, I knew I was doomed.

Sure, the test was multiple choice, but still, how was I supposed to know who drove the ferry across the River Styx into the Underworld? The options were Chiron, Charon, Polyphemus, or Tantalus. Tantalus sounded like the creepiest name, so I chose that. After twenty-four more horrible questions, we turned our papers in.

By the time I turned my test in, all of the students in Percy's group excluding Percy and Rachel had taken the oral test. Rachel wasn't dyslexic, so she took the normal test, and Percy was just starting his oral test. Since I had nothing better to do, I just watched.

"Who drove the ferry across the River Styx in the Underworld?" Mr. Sanders asked, reading from the test in his hand.

Before he could even read the answer choices, Percy replied, "Charon." He pronounced it care-on.

Mr. Sanders looked at Percy, half-suspicious and half-in-awe, before asking the next question.

"Who is the spirit in the Underworld that stands in a lake next to a fruit tree-"

"Tantalus," Percy said, before Mr. Sanders could even finish the question. I noticed that all the people in Percy's group, excluding Rachel, rolled their eyes when he said that. I wonder why?

"Who is the Greek god of earthquaked?" Mr. Sanders asked. He got the gleam in his eye that most teachers get when they put in a trick question.

"Poseidon," Percy replied, a small smile on his face.

"What was Poseidon the main god of?" Mr. Sanders asked, clearly agitated that a dyslexic, straight-D student would be acing his test.

"The Sea."

"Who were his two brothers and three sisters?"

"His brothers were Zeus and Hades, and his sisters were Hera, Demeter and Hestia."

"What is the name of a one-eyed offspring of a nature spirit and a god?"

"Cyclops." At this, Percy's group once again smiled.

I noticed that Mr. Sanders wasn't even asking questions off the test anymore. He was probably just trying to stump Percy.

"What is the name of Hermes' staff?"

"The caduceus."

I'm pretty sure I heard Annabeth whisper, "George and Martha." Why would she be saying the names of the first president and first lady?

"Who was the creator of the original Labyrinth?"

As soon as Mr. Sanders said this, all of Percy's group seemed sad. Even Nico, who I noticed didn't normally show emotion, looked downcast.

"Daedalus," Percy said, looking down. Why did they look sad? Did they just really care about mythology?

"What is the name of the creature that guards the Underworld?" Mr. Sanders continued, oblivious to the fact that the students standing up seemed sad. Even Rachel seemed sad, but she didn't react as much.

"Cerberus," Percy answered, looking happy(ish) again.

"What is the name of... the boar that Heracles had to capture during his labors?" Mr. Sanders smiled; clearly no one would know the answer to this question! Besides, no one would even know how to pronounce the name, cuz it would probably be a weird Greek name.

In spite of myself, I smiled a little too. I didn't like my future boyfriend to be humiliated, but I didn't want him to be better then me!

Percy looked back at Annabeth, who whispered, "Followed the apple after coffee in New Mexico." I had no idea what any of that meant, but clearly Percy got it because he turned back to Mr. Sanders, who was still looking triumphant.

"The Erymanthian Boar," Percy said, matching Mr. Sanders' triumphant look. Mr. Sanders immediately frowned. Gesturing to the oral test-takers, he said "A+ to all of you." They returned to their seats, looking happy. After a short announcement, the bell rang, and everyone dashed out the door to get to their next class.

I probably won't be able to post as frequently in the future, cuz tomorrow I start a two-week camp, then I have school the next week. And I have absolutely no idea where this story is going, so if you have ideas, PLEASE POST THEM. In fact, I can try to write from something as random as "BANANA", so don't be afraid to just post random words as ideas. Till next time, CrimsonArrow

By the way, I got a notification that Silena's hair is black, and yes, it is. Sorry for the mistake! I'm going to fix my error.
