"Hey there Annabeth!"

Annabeth slammed her locker door shut and met the eyes of Brian Throckmorton.

"Hi Brian." she said in a dull voice and started walking to the doors. It was Friday, school was over, and she'd be seeing Percy in less than twelve hours.

"Well, I was wondering if you'd maybe want to do something this weekend?" Brian asked, trying to slide his arm around her shoulders.

Annabeth pulled her body away from his, her face almost forming a sneer.

"Brian. We've been through this before. I have a boyfriend."

"Yeah, it's just a camp fling though. Come on. You know you want to." Brian whispered, failing trying to sound seductive, but succeeding in sounding like an idiot.

This guy is going to get my fist in his face!

Annabeth clenched her fist, but held it tightly to her side.

"So? When should I pick you up?"

Annabeth whipped around and got right up in his face.

"Never. Because it's not just a camp fling. He's my boyfriend and I love him. Now. Leave. Me. Alone." she actually did punch him in the stomach for emphasis, but regretted it while getting on the bus. She regretted that she hadn't punched him in the face.

Her stop came into sight and she collected her backpack and stepped over all the feet just to get out.

Her angry expression hadn't died down when she walked in the front door.

"Annabeth? That you?" her father called from his study.

Who else would it be?! she yelled back in her mind.

For real she shouted, "Yeah." and swung her backpack onto the living room couch and made her way to the kitchen.

"Uh oh. Just staring into the fridge? Never means good things." her stepmother came into the kitchen with a bag of groceries.

Annabeth took out a bottle of juice, unscrewing the cap. She grunted.

Adrian looked at her step daughter a moment, shook her head and turned back, starting to unload the groceries.

"So how was your day?" she asked, putting three cans of beans in the cupboard.

"Peachy. Just Peachy Keen." Annabeth said almost in a drawl.

Matthew and Bobby ran in with airplanes, making explosion noises and zooming around the kitchen, between chairs and under the table.

Annabeth took that as an escape route so she wouldn't have to explain anything to Adrian.

She slipped her backpack strap onto her shoulder and ran upstairs, juice still in hand.

She went over to the window, pushing it open, and climbing out to sit on the small part of roof that was in front of her window.

She took a sip of juice and looked up at the sky, now an almost purple color from the pink sunset sneaking up on the bright blue sky. Taking in a breath, smelling all buds, trees, and all the small things on the wind, and hearing the frogs sing their song at the pond behind her house.

Summer was almost here, and Annabeth couldn't wait. Summer this year didn't just mean Camp Half-Blood, but it meant spending the whole summer with her boyfriend.

It felt so good to label herself as Percy Jackson's Girlfriend. She felt so…warm and fuzzy inside. Such a girly feeling.

She tilted her head up towards the purple sky taking in another deep breath, smelling someone's barbecue.

Her ring tone began, muffled in her pocket, and she almost tumbled off the roof trying to reach it so fast.

"Hello?"

"Hey Wise Girl."

A huge grin spread across Annabeth's face. "What's up Seaweed Brain?"

"Nothing much. Just wondering when you wanted to get picked up tomorrow?" For some reason, Percy' s voice sounded tight.

"How about…nine?"

"As in nine AM?"

"Yep. What, you still sleeping in?" Annabeth said in a baby voice.

"Well unlike some people, I'm a slightly normal high schooler and like to sleep in on Saturday mornings!" His voice lost the edge as he said this, turning into his normal playful tone.

"Well, we're half bloods, so too bad for you!"

"Speaking of being half bloods, we might not want to be on the phone for very much longer…"

"Very true. So nine or do you want longer?" Annabeth hoped and prayed that Percy wanted to see her as much as she wanted to see him. As much as she needed to see him.

"Yeah. Nine sounds fine."

"Ha. That rhymed."

"Nice one Wise Girl."

"I know Seaweed Brain."

"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok…love you."

"I love you too."

Click.

Annabeth smiled to herself, holding her phone to her chin.

That phone call just made her want tomorrow to come even faster.

A/N: Tada! There's the second installment!
