Review and enjoy!(:


Annabeth's POV

Today has been pretty uneventful. The only thing I have planned today is my date with Percy. I'm freaking out. I mean I don't even know where we're going. That's kind of a need to know thing right? Thought so. I guess I'll have to call and see. I don't even have his number. That could be a problem. I hear my phone beep. I pull it out of my pocket. One New Text Message From 555-5505 Hm. Who's that. I click open.

(Percy=bold Annabeth=italics)

Hey. Pick you up at 4:30. Sound good?

Percy?

No Chewbacca. Who else would it be, silly?

I look at my watch to see what time it is. 3:30. Well then CHEWBACCA, 4:30 sounds great! What do I need to wear?

Well the restaurant is pretty fancy so probably a dress?

Oh crap. I have none. I'll borrow one from Allison!(: see you tonight!

Can't wait ;)

I call Allison and she picks up on the 3rd ring.

"ANNABETH! I miss you! You need to come over today!"

"Well that's why I was calling you. I need you to help me get ready."

"Oooh. Ready for what?"

"My, uhm. DatewithPercy." I mumbled the last part so she wouldn't hear me. I know she's gonna freak.

"Sorry, dear? What was the last part?"

"I have a date with Percy." I then heard a thud. And then a scream. She's either getting mugged by robbers or she's just that excited for me. I'm pretty sure it's the latter one.

"ANNABETH! WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING ME?"

"Uh now?"

"I'm so happy for you! Where are you guys going?" she asked

"Fancy restaurant. He said I need to wear a dress."

"Aw! So romantic!"

"Come over here now! I'm getting it all set up!" then she hung up on me. So I walked over there. I was about to knock on the door but before I could she opened it and pulled me inside, slammed the door real fast and rushed me upstairs to her bathroom.

"Stay here and text Percy that he needs to pick you up at my house!" then she ran out of the room. I texted him and he replied with an 'okay'. Allison then came running back in the room with a chair.

"Sit!" then she ran back out. She came running in with a curling iron and a makeup kit. The she got to work. The makeup wasn't awful. It was just silver eye shadow, mascara and shiny lip gloss. That took about 10 minutes and then she started on my hair. She curled it even more and I have to say, I looked pretty good so far. But anyways, my hair took about 45 minutes and then next comes the clothes and jewelry. She ran and picked it out which took her about 10 minutes. The dress was beautiful. It was knee length and had a swirly design on it. It was blue, silver, black and white. The shoes? High heels. I think she's trying to kill me. Oh well. Gotta try don't ya? For the jewelry I had a black bracelet with circles on the chain and a silver and black double necklace and the silver chain had a cross on it and then I had a little wallet/purse lookin thing with jewels on the opening thing. Thank goodness Percy is late. I then got a text so I pulled out my phone.

So sorry. Can't make it. Mom got sick with flu. Are you kidding me? I spend all this time getting ready and he CANCELS? Allison looks over my shoulder and reads it.

"That jackass! I spend all this work getting you ready and he freaking cancels? What the hell?"

"I guess it's okay cause his mom is sick. I would cancel for that too."

"But she's a grown woman! She can take care of herself can't she? I mean even I can! And I'm just a teenager! People infuriate me, ya know?"

"Alright. Well thanks for all this. You did a great job. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye, sweetie!" she yelled as I walk downstairs.

When I walk outside, I see her father's car pull up. Allison hates her dad. I'm not really sure why, I think he's a perfectly nice man. Yeah, he works a lot, but he's just trying to make a living. She would hate me forever if I didn't tell her he was home. So I walk up to the door, reopen it and tell her. I hear thuds coming down the stairs.

"Annie! I'm going home with you, okay?"

"Fine, but why do you hate your dad so much?" Her face darkened.

"I'll tell you later." I knew by the look on her face, just to drop it.

"You don't have to if you don't want to."

"That's another reason why you're my best friend. You know when to drop things." then she laughed. It was more of an awkward laugh, but I think it was just so she could get past the conversation. When we got to my house, we just started to hang out, and eventually Allison had to go home, considering we have school tomorrow. I'm pretty tired and I still haven't gotten this goo off my face so I go upstairs and take a shower then get dressed and go to bed.


BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. BEE- SLAM!

I love snooze buttons. I look at the clock and it says 7:00. Ugh. Who the hell made school at 7:45? Whoever it was, I just have one thing to say to them. They're a complete idiot and I hate them with all of my being. Since I slept in 10 minutes, I get up, splash water on my face, throw my hair up in a ponytail and get dressed in jean shorts, converse, and my softball camp shirt. Allison and I carpool to school so I call her.

"Annabeth! Hey best friend? You wanna take your car today? Mines out of gas! Unless you want to push it. Then I guess we could take mine. But that wouldn't be very fun! Like really? Ooh guess what! I'm wearing my new hat! You are gonna love it!"

"Okay. I'm sure I will and yeah we can take my car."

"Kay I'm almost over!" Then she hung up and I hear the doorbell ring, then the door open.

"READY, ANNABETH?"She calls. First question. How does she get here so fast? Next question. How did she get in?

"Yeah! Just a second!" Then I run downstairs. I'm shocked with what I see. Allison has a very weird style. I never thought it was this weird though. She had on a white t-shirt that said 'VARSITY 8' in navy blue, REALLY short ripped denim shorts, Jack Purcells with pink and navy striped socks and a pink wide brim straw hat.(a/n:profile.) Can you say strange? Oh and she has in her hand a box of a dozen Krispie Kream donuts, which she will most likely finish.

"I'm guessing those are all for you?" I said referring to the donuts.

"Yeah! I'll let you have two though. Maybe one. It depends on how hungry I am when we get to school." Did I mention she eats like a trucker?

"I swear, I don't know where all that goes."

"Well part of it goes into my main stomach, another part goes into my second stomach and the last part goes in my extra hungry stomach."

"Whatever. Lets just go." I say laughing.


When we get to school, I can already tell I'm gonna have a bad day. You wanna know why? Rachel Elizabeth Dare walks over to our car with her little posse.

"What do you want, Dare?" I say as I get out of the car.

"Oh, nothing. Just coming over to say hello to my favorite friends!" I look over at Allison and she's grabbing a jelly filled donut. She opens it up and throws it right at Rachel's face. Then she leans over to me and says

"Sorry, but now you only get one donut." and then we start cracking up.

"Hey, Rach" I say "I think you got a little something on your face. Need a napkin?"

"Ugh! I hate you!"

"I thought we were your favorite friends though?" Allison said smirking.

"Ugh NO!" She said stomping off.

"Well time for Tiger Time!" Our school mascot is a tiger so the time before 1st period is called Tiger Time. It's where we just go and hang out and do homework and stuff. So we start walking to class. Which, unfortunately, we have with the she-devil. Aka Rachel.

When we get there Rachel is sitting at the front and so we sit in the back and just hang out while we eat our donuts. Twenty-five minutes later, it's time for 1st hour which, unfortunately we have Rachel in again AND our teacher is Mrs. Brown. She's nice if you're on her good side, but Allison and me definitely aren't on.

While we are walking we spot Percy. So I tell Allison to go on to class. I walk over to him.

"Hey. Let me see your schedule." I say and take it from him.

"We have 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th hour together. Follow me."

"Yes, ma'am" he said with a smirk. When we walk in, Mrs. Brown puts on a fake smile like she's happy we have a new kid. I take my seat next to Allison and thankfully there's a spot in front and beside me. Either way he sits by me. Then I realize, Rachel isn't here yet. So she's gonna have to sit in one of these spaces.

"Attention class!" Mrs. Brown starts while Rachel runs in. Late of course and sits in front of me. She would do that. "We have a new student today! Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about you."

"Uh okay. Well I'm Percy Jackson and I play baseball and my teams name is the Cardinals."

"Very interesting!" She says with fake enthusiasm. "Take a seat next to Annabeth. Annabeth raise your hand."

"He knows me."

"Don't back talk. Just raise your hand and say yes ma'am."

"What's the point if he already knows me?"

"You mean 'Yes ma'am" she says

I realize my argument is useless so I just say "Yes ma'am."

"Thank you." Then she starts going on and on about something we already learned last year so Rachel turns to Percy and says

"So you play baseball? That's so cool. I play softball you know." That sparks Allison's attention and mine. So before Percy can say anything she says.

"Really Rach? What position do you play? Are you infield or outfield?"

"Uh." She says nervously. "I'm, uh, outfield definitely."

"Oh that's cool. Which position?" I say. She blushes and turns around. "That's what I thought."

"Hey, Perce? Piece of advice." I start. "Stay away from Rachel." Allison finishes for me. And I nod in agreement.


Second, third and fourth hour passed by in a blur and now it's time for lunch. We start walking down the hall til someone grabs Allison from behind.

"AH!" she screams. Then turns around.

"Hello beautiful." Jon says then grabs her hand and kisses it.

"Jon! Don't scare me like that!"

"Sir, yes, sir!" He says mocking her.

"Jerk."

"Yup!" He says then turns to me. "Hey Annie!"

"Hi Jon. Wait. Don't call me that!"

"Why? Allison gets to." He says grabbing her hand.

"Well, Allison, has known her forever." Allison says.

"Exactly." I say.

"Fine. Sorry, AnnaBeth." Emphasizing on the 'beth' part.

We get into the lunch line and Allison buys a ton of food. As usual.

Jon says "I don't know where all that goes. Honestly, I don't."

"Annabeth explain." she says once we get through the line and sit down.

"Why me?" I ask.

"Cause I'm starving." she says digging in.

"Fine." I say, then turn to Jon "Well, like she said earlier, part goes into her main stomach, another part goes into her second stomach and the last part goes into her extra hungry stomach."

"Wow." A voice says from behind us. "Jeez Allison. Enough food?"

"I don knwo mybe Pershy" She says with a full mouth.

"If you couldn't understand her she said 'I don't know maybe, Percy.'."

"Thank you. I actually couldn't understand." he says sitting down.

We spent the whole lunch period talking and laughing until Rachel came over, whispered something in Percy's ear and left. He had a faint smile dancing on his lips.

"What was that about?" I ask. He looks at me and says "Oh that? Nothing." Allison was glaring daggers at him.

"What did we say about staying away from her?" she says.

"She's actually kind of nice when you get to know her. We have second hour together."

"I'm sorry. Did I hear that correctly?" She says.

"I don't know. It depends on what you heard." He says back.

"I heard you say, she's actually kind of nice when you get to know her."

"Then yes you heard me correctly."

"You're lucky my New Year's Resolution was to be a nicer person, otherwise I would be slapping you right now."

"I guess I am lucky." I couldn't help it. That was funny so I burst out laughing and that made Allison giggle and Jon laugh so Percy smirked a little.

The rest of the day went on kind of like that except it was in class instead of the lunch room. I can't wait for tomorrow. Read the ending authors note or you'll be super confused next chapter!
