Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long! Highschool sounds great in High School Musical but there is a lot more homework than what they show… Here is Chapter 7!

*Percy PoV

I woke up with the sun shining through my window. Some of the rays filtered through my waterfall leaving a long rainbow behind. Pulling on an orange camp halfblood tshirt and jeans I grabbed Riptide and placed it in my pocket. The previous night however replayed over in my head and no matter how much I wanted to forget it, the Fates wouldn't let me. I kissed her. I kissed Lacey and cheated on Annabeth. What in the name of Hades is wrong with me! As I stepped out of my cabin, the camp was buzzing with excitement. Capture the Flag was tonight and it was always a highlight of the month. I have to find Annabeth and tell her. But then again, what she doesn't know won't hurt her… But she deserves to know the truth. But she is really handy with that knife….

"PPPPEEERRRRCCCCYYYYYY!" A bellow sounded from across the courtyard between the cabins. At first I thought it was Annabeth, but it was only Clarisse, which is almost as scary. She marched over with one of those "I'm going to kill you" faces "You overslept? Really? Today of all days!"

"Clarisse first of all it's only 9 in the morning. Second I am really not in the mood," I try to walk past her, but she blocks my path once again.

"Um no don't give me that crap. We have to finish our battle plans. Something we should have finished forever ago I might add."

"Look right now I just need to find Annabeth ok."

"No. I am not so sorry to say but she is the enemy for today. You don't get to talk to her and that is an order. Don't forget who is commander here Jackson! Meet me at Zeus Fist in ten minutes and don't be late," with those wonderful words of joy, Clarisse jogged off to meet up with some of the members of her cabin leaving me once again hating Mr. D for making me co-captain for this team. Nine minutes later I was walking towards the large mountains of rocks with a roll in hand and Riptide in the other. Only idiots walked into the forest without any protection from the monsters. Safe haven for campers? Yeah as long as you stayed out of the forest which is conveniently stocked with monsters. Well that makes perfect sense. I saw a flash of blonde and of course my mind went straight to Annabeth. I jogged a bit more towards that direction and sure enough she was in the weapons shed, which was surprising since I had only seen her fight with her dagger. She hadn't heard me yet, but deciding not to scare her I called out instead.

"Hey, Annabeth," I stood awkwardly in the doorframe as she stood up back still turned to me. Calm down Percy, there is no way she knows about last night. Finally she turned around to face me, and with a tight smile on her face.

"Hey Percy," she said tightly, like this was the last conversation that she wanted to be having.

"What are you doing in here? Are you going to trade weapons for the game tonight?"

"No, we have a new camper that needs a weapon, and since I basically know what he needs, I volunteered to get it for him," She grabbed a sword off the wall, "and found it. Now I have to go finish planning for tonight." She tried to slide past me, but I stopped her by placing my hand on her shoulder. Strangely enough she flinched.

"Hey. Are you ok? You seem tense."

"Yeah I'm fine. Just stressed for the game tonight. See yah Percy," With that I let her walk past. She jogged back to were the cabins were and I saw her hand the weapon to a new Hephaestus kid. Well that was an awkward conversation. What struck me the most odd was how her excuse to leave was that she needed to go "plan." Everyone knows Annabeth finishes her stragies days ahead of Capture the Flag. Does she know? There is no way I finally decide. And she won't know if I have anything to do with it. I glance at my clock and realize that I am five minutes late for my meeting with Clarisse. Oops. My bad.

*That night after dinner – Still Percy's PoV

"Alright campers! Time for the much anticipated game of Capture the Flag! Teams group together and form ranks! The game will begin in thirty minutes and will be signaled with a single blow through my horn! You have until then to set up you teams. Time starts now!" Chiron blew three short blows into his conch horn signaling the start of the thirty minutes. All at once the campers raced over to their team's flags which had been set up at each end of the pavilion. I scanned the crowd looking for Annabeth and found her standing under her flag. She was smiling ear to ear, the adrenaline getting to her like it was getting to everyone. She caught my eyes and suddenly her eyes became hard, her smile fading. There is no way she knows Percy. No way. She quickly looked away with a smile that now seemed to forced.

"Percy Jackson! Get your head out of the clouds and get you Seaweed face back in the game!" I was "brought back" by a screaming, red-faced Clarisse two feet in front of me.

"Calm yourself girl! Dang, I'm here, I'm here…."

"Well good to have you back. Now that you are here again we were just discussing where the best place to put our flag was. I voted on top of Zeus' Fist but some of these other dork faces thought it was to obvious. So where would you say the best place would be?"

"Well Zeus' Fist is very obvious since you guys pick that hiding place every game you lead. So yeah we should pick a different place."

"Ok that settles it. Zeus' Fist it is!" The rest of the red team cheered while I just palm slapped myself mentally.

"Why do I even bother with you?" I said to myself since nobody was listening to me anymore.

"Percy you take ranks three and four and explain their positions while I take one and two and brief them," Clarisse was in tactical battle mode so everything she said from here on out was going to make no sense to anyone who hadn't had any training yet.

"To clarify what Clarisse just said, if you have a one or two on your shield go with Clarisse and she will tell you where you are going to be playing. If you have a three or four come with me. I will be showing you your positions." After a dirty look from Clarisse, she took of with about forty campers trailing behind her.

"Follow me guys!" I yelled to the remainer of the campers. I couldn't help but notice she left me with most of the Aphrodite kids. Including Lacey. After twenty minutes of telling the kids over and over again their positions, where they were suppose to stay and who was suppose to go into blue's playing field. I started to walk away to stand in my position when I felt a presence behind me.

"Aye, Aye captain. You know, you are a very good leader," Lacey looped her elbow into mine and flashed that award winning smile she has. From across the pavilion I felt more than saw Annabeth's eyes burning into my back. With that in mind, I shook her arm out of mine and continued marching on.

"I know you liked last night. I could tell," She sped up to catch up with me and looped her arm through mine once again.

"Lacey! Last night was a mistake ok! I am with Annabeth and she is the only one I want to be with!" Once again I pulled my arm out from hers and glanced down at her face. I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I couldn't do this to my real girl. I expected a look of hurt or dismay on her face, but all I could see was anger. Lacey's face was twisted into a mask of anger which made her less like the Lacey I knew. "Don't make a mistake you can't come back from Percy." With that she stormed away. What did she mean by that? I'll think about that later. Now its game time.

With that final thought, the conch horn blew.
