A/N: Shoutout to MaisyMonster for correctly saying that I used the word 'owl' four times in that chapter.

BUT NO ONE GUESSED MY FAVORITE COLOR AGH!

If ya wanna try again, check the A/N at the bottom of the chapter.

As for the story…

I know, I know, I've been taking forevs…

I've just been so busy with my homework. You know, the homework where you stare at a wall for three straight hours.

I'm getting really good at it.

Anyway, The Marguerite Flower is not going to come out because of difficulties I've had, but you can definitely count on another PJO story coming soon.

Without further ado, here is the Wednesday without Wind.

Annabeth

I made myself swear not to speak to Percy the next day.

Why would I talk to a cheater?

So I stuck by Luke and Thalia for the morning.

I also tried to avoid Drew as much as possible. I didn't want her ruining my mood either.

Although my mood was already pretty much ruined.

Percy tried to approach me several times in the morning, but I always made sure I stood aloof.

Thalia looked uncomfortable as we walked to third period. "Maybe you should...talk to him."

I shrugged.

As we entered the Ancient Greek classroom, I saw Luke standing in the corner. As he spotted us, he walked over quickly.

"Annabeth, will you go to the dance with me?"

"What?"

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

"Um..I.." I tried to look to Thalia for guidance, but she held a poker face.

"I'll think about it."

He nodded and walked to his seat just as the teacher came in.

The teacher, Mr. Horrison, was ridiculously short with crazy, faded blond hair and a constant evil grin.

He cackled (unnecessarily) and slammed a piece of paper down on his desk, making us all jump. "You have twenty seconds to count to thirty-five in Ancient Greek! READYSETGO!"

"Annabeth, I'm really, really sorry."

As I sat down at our usual lunch table by Thalia, Percy immediately took my other side.

I didn't say anything.

"You have to understand, I wasn't using you to cheat on Drew. Whatever she told you, she was lying. We broke up before I met you that day."

"Really?"

"Honestly. Drew'll do anything to make your life suck after I dumped her."

"Why did you dump her in the first place?"

"She kept telling me to stop talking to my friends, because they weren't as popular as she was. In fact, she didn't want me to talk to anyone outside of her circle of friends. So we broke up after having a big fight the morning of my birthday."

"Oh. Okay."

He looked relieved that I forgave him.

After lunch ended, as I was throwing my trash away, Percy walked up to me, scratching the back of his head uncomfortably.

"Um, I know Luke already asked you, but do you want to go to the dance with me?"

I stared at him in bewilderment. I hadn't really expected this.

"Um, sure," I said before things got too awkward.

He grinned. "You really are a Wise Girl."

I shoved him.

At tutoring, at the end of the day, as I tried to explain Percy that the cube root of 27,000,000 was 300, not 3000, Luke came over to us.

"So, Annabeth, um, about the dance…?"

Dang it. I had been dreading this moment.

"Um, Luke, I-"

"She can't," Percy interrupted. "Her pet rhinoceros died today, so…"

Luke rolled his eyes and I explained to him the situation. He actually seemed pretty cool about it, despite the fact that he would now have to find a new dance partner in two days.

As we packed up from tutoring, I felt like nothing could be better. Everything happened exactly like it would in a fairy tale. Percy apologized, he was taking me to the dance, Luke was okay with it, and we were saving the world from a power-hungry fire lord in two days. Splendid.

Everything went perfectly, with no wind to mess anything up.

Then why did it feel so...wrong?

How come nothing was going wrong?

How come everything was perfect, like many Taylor Swift songs?

That question was answered a few minutes later, when Drew bumped into me outside Ms. Monners's room.

"Oh, Annabelle, sorry!" She said in an unnecessarily high-pitched voice.

"It's Annabeth," I said through gritted teeth.

"Potato, tomato. Anyway, Percy, did you consider my offer for the dance?"

Percy frowned in a lopsided sort of way. "Actually, yeah, I did consider it. And after careful hours of thought, I concluded that you're the most stupid person on the planet."

Thalia snorted.

Drew steamed. "Fine, then. Have fun finding someone who's going to put up with you."

Percy

As Drew walked away from me, her words echoed in my head.

Have fun finding someone who's going to put up with you.

I couldn't let it end this way.

Drew was my ex-girlfriend. I had to make things right between us. I had to show her how much I cared.

Have fun finding someone who's going to put up with you.

I ran down the hall that she had just walked down, my sneakers skidding on the shiny floors as I turned the corner.

"Percy?" Thalia called quizzically from behind me.

I ignored her and ran towards Drew. "Drew!"

She turned around. I came to a halt in front of her, panting.

"You have fun finding someone who can put up with you."

Her jaw dropped.

The answer: I didn't care very much.

With that, smiling, I dusted off my hands, turned around, and walked back to my group of real friends.

A/N: NOW THE CLOWN SHANT KILL ME!

Inside joke.

Anyway, please review! If you want a shoutout in the next chapter, answer one or more of these questions:

Guess my favorite color

(Check the paragraph with the stars next to it)

Which character from The Mark of Athena said these lines:

"I wont sell it, I promise! I'll just keep it as a token of your flavor."

That is like my absolute favorite line in the book.

Leave reviews please!

***As for updates, the Marguerite Flower couldn't come out, but for absolute certain, I will be starting another story called "A Deck of Cards", which will include 52 one-shots on Percy Jackson and his Olympian friends. If you can think of cooler names instead of just "A Deck of Cards" please leave them in the form of a review.

I also might be starting another PJO story. If you want that to come out quickly, I would appreciate reviews!

Thanks! Bie!
