Annabeth

I can't believe he asked me to sit with him! Yes, I'm making a big deal about this. To me, this is important, so shut up.

"So, he talked to you, eh?" Thalia asks me, not waiting for me to even sit down. Why did I have to sit next to her today? Oh, right, Percy had to go into work. Damn it all to hell.

"Yes he did. And kissed me." Oh, I shouldn't have said that to her.

"HE WHAT?!" She shouts, causing the entire class to look at us. I put my head down as embarrassment sets in. Me and my big mouth. Luckily, Thalia, the queen of the death glare, diverts the attention from us.

"I want details Chase, so spill." I almost tell her, but then the teacher walks in, saving me at the last second.

"Of all days, he has to be on time today. At lunch Chase, tell me." Oh, that reminds me.

"By the way, he invited us to his table at lunch today. If your interested, that is." The look on her face is priceless. She looks around before leaning in close to me.

"Can you keep a secret?" She asks me. I nod, used to this when I was in New York.

"I have a crush on his brother, Nico." Oh, that's why. I've seen Nico around a few times before. He's cute, sure, but I'd choose Percy over him, so Thalia can have him all she wants. As long as she stays away from Percy.

"Tell anyone, and remember, I know where you live." She threatens me. She's done it so many times, it's almost laughable. Almost. She is more than capable of beating me to a pulp, so I have to bite my cheek so I don't laugh.

"Please, it's safe with me. Now pay attention, unless you want detention." She sticks her tongue out at me before turning to the front of the class. I giggle a little before turning my attention up to the front. Lunch time, will you please hurry up?

Percy

My siblings hate my idea of having Annabeth and her friend hanging at our "little island of safety". But since Nico likes Thalia, and I'm older then them all, I easily won the debate.

"You better not blow it Percy, or you'll be dead." Artemis says, hoping I do.

"Relax sis, he's got it in the bag." That's Tyson for you, always having my back. He maybe the youngest out of us all, but no one dares to mess with him, due to his big size, and his incredible strength. Think I'm joking? He was strong way before my dad found him. Lifted weights for his high school team, so that no one would pick on him. Well, the gang that shot him thought otherwise. But that's beside the point. The point is, don't get him mad.

"Thanks Tyson. And Artemis, drop dead. You've came close to blowing our cover more than anyone else." I say, finishing right as Annabeth come's to our table. I can't contain my joy and jump up and embrace her in my arms. She blushes a little at this.

"Where's your little friend?" I ask while leading her to the gang.

"Getting her food. She'll be here soon, I think." She reply's as she sit down next to Tyson.

"So, let me introduce you to my siblings. You've already met Tyson. There's Apollo, his sister Artemis, her husband Orion. Married two years ago, both older than they look. My favorite sister Calypso , and last, but not least, Nico." Everyone but Artemis say hello to her, while Tyson nearly crushes her in a bear hug.

"Tyson, watch the strength level there." I laugh while Annabeth gasps to get air in her lungs. It wouldn't be the first time he didn't watch his strength, and it won't be the last.

"Sorry Annabeth." He apologies as she sits down, winching in pain.

"It's fine. Just, please watch the strength, like he said." We all laugh, finishing up as her friend comes on over, looking at Nico. I wish those two would get together already. When he does talk, it's all about "The cute punk girl who could take anyone in a fight."

"Hey everyone." She's scared. I don't have to be in her mind for that.

"Please, sit down. There's a chair by Nico." I say, trying to hold back a laugh as her face goes bright red. Nico's isn't much better, and it's hard to not laugh right now.

"Nico." She says, trying to keep her voice in check.

"Thalia. The pleasure's all mine." He says, kissing her hand. Wait, what? What just happened?
