Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes, I am in a hurry! Anyway, enjoy!

Annabeth

After knowing Percy for two days, I have come to a conclusion. I hate, er, dislike like him greatly. He is annoying, clueless, and not very bright. Sure, he might be nice and funny, not to mention good looking, but the cons out weigh the pros. I think.

Its not like I think it is sort of cute when he-no, not going there. Sighing, I look down at my book. It is about Greek Architecture. I am using different techniques from the book to make blueprints. The blueprints are, I'll admit, for a sand castle. Thalia said that she and Jason, her brother, could build a better sand castle then me and Percy.

Four days, she told us, to come up with an idea and then build it. Percy and I had decided on making Olympus. Percy had said that I could redesign Olympus however I wanted, and he would help make it.

I can't go overboard with the design, or else we won't be able to turn it into a sandcastle. I look up and see Percy and Jason playing some weird game in the water. I shake my head. It looks like Thalia and I are the only ones have a competition. Hopefully, Percy isn't too much of a Seaweed Brain.

Weird name, I know, but I started calling him that when he somehow managed to get seaweed tangled into his hair the day before. When I first called him that, he was confused, then he laughed. He stopped laughing when I told him the name made total sense, seeing as he had seaweed in his head instead of a brain.

I put my book down. When I grow up, I want to be an architecture. I want to build something permanent. Something that will last for ages. But, right now, I want some ice cream. I put my book and other supplies into my beach bag. When I stand up to leave, I hear someone call, "Hey, Annabeth, where are you going?"

I turn around to see Percy looking at me. Rolling my eyes, I say, "To get some ice cream Seaweed Brain."

I see him start to say something, but Jason pushes him and he falls under the water. I shake my head before I turn away and start walking to my house. The Little Cream, a ice cream shop that is a ten minute walk from the beach, sells anything but little. Their ice cream, while coming in large quantities, is delicious. I had gotten some with Thalia the day we met. I am halfway to my house when I hear Percy say, "Oh, I love ice cream, why don't I come along?"

I am startled, because he is way closer than I thought. I look at him and see he is still dripping wet. Before I can answer, he says, "Great, meet you back here in five."

And then he is gone. I curse and resume walking to my house. Luckily, my family is out. I have no idea where they are, but I don't really care. They can take care of themselves. I run to my room and set my bag by my bed. Once I do that, I lift up the left side of the bottom of my bed. From there, I get fifteen dollars. That is more than enough, it could buy me at least three ice creams(larges), but I believe everyone should always carry 'just in case' money.

In less than two minutes, I am back at the spot Percy said to meet at. While I don't really want him to come, the company will be nice. Hopefully. When Percy arrives, he is three minutes late. Must have got lost, I think, and then I smirk.

"What?" Percy asks as he takes in the look on my face.

"Nothing, really, just that you are three minutes late."

"Oh, sorry," Percy says, looking sheepish, "I misplaced my wallet."

I shake my head, saying, "Whatever you say, Seaweed Brain. Whatever you say."

We head off. The shortcut I took with Thalia is easy to find, and soon Percy and I step into the woods.

Dogging a branch, Percy asks, "So, Annabeth, who is your favorite Greek god?"

I look at him, because really? Does that even matter? Unfortunately, I have to answer his question because I do have an answer.

"I like Athena,because it was my moms name. Also because she is the goddess of wisdom. And everybody needs wisdom." I look at Percy, then amend myself, "Well, at least most everybody does."

Percy tries to look offended, but ends up laughing. "Well, Wise Girl, mine is Poseidon. He was my favorite as a kid because my dad had the same name and I like the ocean. I also have a way with horses."

I look at Percy and say, "Maybe that's why we can't really get along. Because in Greek mythology, Athena and Poseidon had a ravelry."

Percy looks thoughtful. After a few minutes of silence, I don't think he is going to speak for a while, so I allow myself to get lost in thought. I think it is weird that, with a lot of people I know, we all of parents with the names of Greek gods. Almost everybody at Half-Blood Academy does. Others, it is Roman gods. The only one who goes there whose parent doesn't have a weird name is Rachel Dare, and she and I aren't the best of friends.

I start to see some buildings when Percy finally says something.

"I don't think that we should let things like that get in the way of what I know is going to be an epic friendship."

Guess what!? I am moving, yeah! JKJKJK, I dislike moving greatly. Bye-bye friends. Hello strangers. People-don't you just love them? Anyway, sorry for not updating, blah blah blah. Okay, my updates are going to be really random, because now that we are all packed, stuff is in a storage unit, cousins that live in Puerto Rico aren't at my grandparents' house, I still have an interesting summer. Currently, I have been living at my grandparents' because the house we got is not currently ours to move into and the house we lived in, well, we had move out so someone else could move in.

FUN FUN FUN! Have a good day weirdos-erm, readers!
