Hey guys! Okay, so I have been super duper duper duper DUPER busy lately… But, guess what I'll be doing for the next couple of weeks? THE PJO FANDOM AWARDS! I feel so loved. Anyway, here is my new chapter, more focused on Annabeth's relationship with more friends. Also, I'm NOT in Middle School. This is what HAPPENED TO ME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. And no, I'm not telling you my age.

Enjoy!

I sulked through the hallways, trying to figure out how I was going to avoid Percy from now on. If I switch classes in third period, I won't have to see him. Oh wait, I'm his tutor. Everything since yesterday had been awkward. For instance, I saw him first thing this morning right after zero period, and I waved. His group of criminals whistled, and were looking at me like I was fresh meat. I guess he had told them about yesterday…

I was torn out of my thoughts by Katie, who at some point had crept up behind me.

"Annabeth, what's wrong?" She asked. I looked over at her and laughed. She frowned. "What? I'm your bestest friend in the whole wide world, and you're not even going to tell me what's wrong?" She said.

"Bestest isn't a word." I replied. Katie huffed.

"Seriously, penny for your thoughts." She eyed me. I found myself suddenly taking interest in the ground as we walked over to P.E. and I spilled everything.

"Why didn't you kiss him?" She practically yelled. I hushed her.

"Because, I don't like him that way. Plus, he's a total player. He's most likely in a gang, and has probably already impregnated a girl by now." I said. Katie laughed.

"Annabeth, get real! We're in seventh grade. I could ask Nico if he's in a gang…" She trailed off. Nico, Katie, Thalia, and I were all best buddies, so when it came to personal things, it kind of got awkward now that we're at "that age". Actually, Nico and Thalia weren't getting along lately.

"Anyway, we better walk faster or we'll be late." I said. Katie smiled.

"One more thing Annabeth." I sighed, and gave Katie a what-now face. "There's this place called The Park, and I was wondering if you would go this Friday with me and Lacy. It's a dance club for Middle Schoolers like us. Please go?" She asked. She gave me the puppy dog eyes.

"If I go, will I be hecka bored?" I asked. Katie shook her head as a no. I thought it over. If Percy was there, I could dance with him… "Fine, I'll go." I replied. Katie jumped up and down and squealed.

P.E.

I laughed at a lame joke told by a kid named Michael Yew, a short kid who was a little chubby and had a skin condition that looked like psoriasis. Then, Mr. Saliva came out in his old man attire. My red shorts came down to my knees, and my lame grey shirt with the words Chase, A printed across the chest was way too big for me. Overall, our uniforms were stupid.

"What, no excuse today, Clarisse?" A jerk named Lee Fletcher asked Clarisse. Clarisse had been excused for the first 3 days of class because she was allergic to the trees, and couldn't run. Today, it looked like she might actually participate.

"Shut it Lee before I shut it for you." She replied. I laughed out loud, which was a mistake.

"You got something to say Chase?" Lee asked me. I smiled.

"Nothing at all Lee." I said. Lee shook it off and returned to talking to Clarisse. When Old Man Saliva walked over to us, he told us that we were going to run the mile today because they're predicting rain tomorrow, and he didn't want a good run to go to waste. So, we were forced to run around the school campus twice. I chose to run with Michael, since I wanted to learn more about him.

"So, Annabeth. Have you ever been kissed before?" He asked me. I stood shocked. I didn't really know this kid, other than we had zero period and P.E. together, yet he was asking me personal things like this.

"No." I answered honestly. He laughed.

"You're kidding right? I mean, you're gorgeous!" He said. I blushed, but didn't say anything. He got my drift. "Wow. Then how come I have?" He asked me, but focusing on the ground in front of us as we jogged.

"I don't know. Maybe it's because you're special." I said. He laughed. And that is how our relationship started.

I'm skipping History since almost nothing entertaining happens then

Brunch

I walked into the cafeteria only to be whisked away by Katie towards the bathroom. We got inside the big stall and locked it, then she turned to me and put her hands on her hips.

"What?" I finally asked to break the silence.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked. I shook my head to get the confusion out.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" I asked her. Katie sighed.

"I heard you were going to ask out Percy today!" She said.

"I'm not." I said. I unlocked the door and ran out of the bathroom towards Percy.

"You are a backstabbing idiot! I don't like you that way I assure you! I hate your guts. Don't talk to me again." I said to him. He seemed as dumbfounded as I was a few seconds ago. I walked away, towards Michael, and told him the situation. He calmly listened and told me to let it go. I honestly couldn't do that though.

How did he find out that I really was going to ask him out today?

DUN DUN DUHHHHH. Well, that concludes this chappie. Also, I was wondering- who reported me? Because I received an email from FF saying that since chapter 2 was an author's note, it was revoked and I couldn't write for 3 days! Rawr. Just- *sigh* review please.
