When I got home I realised that we were in that café for two hours and I had 20 minutes to get to work if I didn't want to be late. I hurried upstairs and changed into my work uniform, ran back downstairs took the keys to my scooter and left.

When I got there my boss, Chiron, was frowning at me.

"Annabeth your late."

"I'm so sorry Chiron, there was a little delay in my schedule this morning."

"Ok, but this is the first and last time I want to see this happen."

"Yes, sir."

"Now go get ready, the kids are waiting for you inside."

I worked at Half-Blood Self Defence. This was a club that taught kids self defence and I needed a job and back when I was at camp I did lots of self defence. So chiron who was a family friend back when I was a kid started this club, he thinks that it is a good idea because of the kids that get kidnapped and harassed. I think it is a good idea so that not only I get money from this job but I can also help kids defend themselves in case of a unfortunate event that may happen.

Once I am done with changing into my combat teacher uniform I join the kids that wait for me in the training area.

"Good after noon kids."

"Good after noon Ms. Chase."

"Ok, does everyone remember what I taught you last time?"

"I do!"

That was the adorable Becca, she has been in my class for 3 years now and she still is very attentive.

"Yes Becca?"

"We learned how to defend ourselves from a punch."

"Correct, now I want everyone to find a partner and practice the three techniques we learned. In 5 seconds find a partner. And…. GO!"

The kids all scrambling trying to find a partner, it was cute to see them do this at least this could save their lives someday.

"Ok kids 5 more minutes."

They continued for five more minutes. You could always tell the difference between the people who remembered and the people who forgot, but at least the ones who forgot always caught on really fast.

"Ok kids, today we are going to learn how to block a kick."

For the rest of the hour I showed them how to do it, then they tried. After that I had them individually do it in front of me with a partner so that they could practice it.

After class was over, I told them to pack there things told them to meet me next Thursday and left.

Trying to find my keys in my bag while I walked over to my scooter, and I looked up.

"Hey Annabeth."

The blood rushed instantly to my cheeks. Out of all the people in the world I had not expected him to be the one that I would see.

"Oh, Hey."

As soon as I started talking his face became dead serious.
