I ended up taking the bus home, since I just didn't have the heart to wake up that cute sleeping face. I did (with good effort) lye him on the bed properly and put a pillow under his neck. It was kinda cute actually, he did this weird head twitch thing after I kissed his forehead goodnight. Either way, I was in a good mood when I returned to the dorm.

"So," Christine said as I walked through the door, "have a good time?" She must have noticed my content sigh as I slid through the door. She was sitting on her bed, mostly in the dark with only the light from her computer screen. Even in the dark you could see the florescent colors of her neon green, pink, orange, red, and yellow pillows that were strewn around her completely white comforter. She had a very funk sense of style, one very different from my light gray bedding. She was sitting on her bed cris-cross style in a white tank top and bright pink sweats with her brown hair pulled into a pony tail.

I gave her a 'well duh' smile as I sat on my bed facing her. She moved her computer to the side table next to her and turned to face me.

"Sooo, wha'd you two do? You were out for quite a while." I rolled my eyes playfully then leaned backward until my head and higher back were rested on the wall.

"Well, we worked on that History project." I started trailing off a bit. "Wait, what?" She interrupted.

"Oh, well Mr. White actually assigned us as partners and well…" I scrunched up my face again trying to think of how to explain this.

"Ok, well he didn't know I switched schools right, so he ended up getting kicked out of his school a few weeks ago then transferred here. Even though he was in some of my classes I didn't recognize him cause I never saw his face. Anyway so Mr. White assigned us as partners and well we kinda found each other." She just nodded, still a little confused. "Wow," she too trailed off but picked up again with playful interest, "Ok, so what else did you do."

"Well," I said, my mind not leaving that kiss as I got up from the bed "We watched a movie." I opened my closet and began to pick out a pair of knee length baggy grey sweats and a white tank top.

"Uh huhh." She said, sing songy like, a smile playing at her lips. "That all?" Her eyebrow was arched and I just turned away so she couldn't see the red in my face and changed into my pajamas.

"Pretty much." I lied. "He actually fell asleep while we were watching the movie." I giggled as I sat back on my bed. She chuckled. "Really?"

"Yeah." I laughed back. "You have no idea how cute he is when he's asleep." I usually wasn't one to gush, but sometimes my inner girl just had to come out.

"Om my gosh, really." She squealed. I nodded my head vigorously. I bent over, still sitting on the bed, and reached into my backpack producing my black flip phone.

"I might just have a picture." I giggled looking through my photos. She giggled along with me and got up to sit next to me on the bed. I continued to scroll through my photos until I found one of Percy sleeping in his cabin, his head lulled back with a little bit of drool hanging off the side of his mouth.

I held out the phone so she could see it.

"Oh my gosh!" she squealed. "Is it wrong for me to think your boyfriend is seriously cute." I just laughed and rolled my eyes at her.

"Does' he have a brother? Please tell me he has a brother." I shook my head laughing lightly. "No but he has a ton of cousins." I smiled. Again she didn't know the half of it. In fact, she probably didn't know a quarter of it. In fact, I was his cousin. Whoa, that's just weird. Uh, I officially forbid myself to think of that EVER again. I shook my head as if forcing the thought out.

"So were is that photo taken. Looks like some weird log cabin. Only blue." I laughed and shook my head.

"First of all, if you think that's blue, you should see his room, or his food." She just gave me a strange look.

"What?" I chuckled as she went back to her own bed with a confused expression.

"Long, long story but basically he likes his food blue." I continued without much explanation. "And second of all, that's uh our summer camp." Technically I wasn't lying. Although I do think I left out the part about Gods, monsters, flaming lava walls, and carrying around a weapon at all times.

"That's actually were we met." I mused. She smiled, shook her head playfully then returned to her own bed.

I walked over to the bathroom to brush my teeth, which she obviously did earlier. When I got out I slipped under the covers and said,

"Night." To Christine and she nodded then continued to type away to the light of her computer screen. I just turned over and drifted into sleep.

++++PAGE BREAK+++

Beep, beep, beep. "Ugh." I groaned as I slapped randomly at my nightstand, my face still buried in my pillow. I finally hit the button and groaned again as I slowly unwrapped my covers.

I rubbed my eyes a little and found myself staring at the blue wall across the room. I pressed my hands against the blue covers and pushed myself up, finally getting to my feet.

"Percy, honey? Are you up." A female voice came from another room.

"Yeah, mom." I answered dryly. Nothing like a Wednesday morning. So far from Friday yet the week has already been so long. As if the day was invented just to mock me.

I rubbed my face but my hand stopped mid face. I remembered I switched schools. And I had a friendly face in my class this time. I removed my hand from my face and walked into my personal bathroom.

I turned on the shower and set it to the coldest level possible. This helped wake me up, but it didn't ever make me cold because I guess I'm just immune to that stuff. Perks of Poseidon.

After I stepped out of the shower I wrapped a towel around my waist and headed back into my room.

I went over and opened the door to my closet, sliding clothes back and forth on the poles until I settled on a plain, forest green, t shirt. After that I randomly picked up a pair of baggy jeans and slipped into them. I dried my hair with my towel and stepped in front of the mirror back in the bathroom. I ran my hand through my hair making it it's usual black mess. I gave my mirror me a half smile then slipped on my converse and grabbed my backpack. After slinging it over my shoulder I made my way to the kitchen.

I walked in and I immediately knew we were having pancakes by just breathing. I sat down in the nearest chair and let my backpack fall to the floor. My mom then came up behind me and put a stack of blue pancakes on the table. I rubbed my hands together then slid the plate to me. I also grabbed the maple syrup then preceded to drown my pancakes. While I was stuffing them down my throat my mother sat down in the seat across from me.

"Hey Mom." I mumbled through a mouth of pancakes and syrup.

"Don't forget to breath." She joked as she took a sip of her coffee. In a very large gulp, I forced the pancakes down my throat then got up and went to the fridge.

After producing the orange juice I was about to unscrew it and drank strait from the carton but then I looked over at my mother and thought better.

After filling my glass I went back to the table took a sip and continued on my blue short stack. When I looked up from that I saw my mother smiling from behind her coffee mug.

"Wha? I mumbled again, the blue food still in my mouth. She just shook her head happily. Once I swallowed and took a swing of orange juice I gave her a questioning look.

"Oh, nothing." She replied to my facial expression. "So. Are you going to spend time with Annabeth when you get to school?"

"Moooom." I moaned, trying to hide the blush in my cheeks. My mother thought Annabeth was basically the smartest person like ever, and of course thought she was a good influence on me or something.

So of course she was ecstatic when she found out Annabeth was going to my school. I finished off the last of my pancakes while she had a short chuckle. I put my plate in the sink, grabbed my bag, and gave my mom a quick peck on the cheek before opening the door.

"Bye Mom." With that the door was closed again and I made my way down the hall.

Page Break

After about twenty minutes of walking I finally saw the school. I continued my walk, grasping the straps of my backpack so it would cling to my back, and walked onto the lot.

About halfway to the door I was met by a strawberry blonde that went into step with me.

She had on a fancy white blouse with a shiny gold belt on her stomach so it had no actual use. Her jeans were skin tight and were covered mid-calf by a pair of high heeled black boots.

She turned towards me, flipping her hair in the process. Her face was heavily coated with make –up, but not so much to make her look ugly. But still, it was just, a little to glamorous.

"Hi." She bubbled. I was a little confused on why she was talking to me in the first place but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Hey." She giggled slightly then flipped her hair again. What is with that.

"So you're the new kid?" she asked sweetly, but there was something a bit… off.

"Uh, yeah just got here." I replied, not stopping from my walk.

"That's cool. My name is Haley" She giggled, smiling a spotless white smile. I just nodded. By this time we had reached the stairs leading to the main building and were climbing them.

"Soo, need a tour guide." She stepped in front of me, making me stop in my tracks. Still I hadn't stopped fast enough so I was uncomfortably close.

She batted her eyelashes as she leaned a little closer. I just cocked my head to the side. 'What the heck?' I thought.

"Nah, I think I got that covered." I replied stepping around her to continue the walk to my locker. She caught up with me but this time she had a confused and maybe even annoyed expression on her face.

Again, I was confused by this. I just mentally shrugged it off as I reached my locker. I placed my hand on the lock but I had to think for a second before I swiveled the code in. When my locker door opened she was still standing by me.

"Haley, right?" I asked her, trying to politely start a conversation. She smiled and nodded.

"Haley Gambly." She said as if boasting her name. I nodded.

"Your in my uh, advisory, right?" I asked, my head in my locker.

"And a few other's." she said leaning on the locker. She scooted a little closer to me. 'What is going on?' I thought as I awkwardly took books from my locker and vise vera with my backpack.

"So are you thinking about joining any sports." She asked sweetly, and I was sure now she was closer than ever. I mean her head was like inches from my shoulder. My head still in my locker I mouth to myself 'what the hell?'.

"Uh, yeah, maybe." I said stepping away from my locker as not to hit her. She smiled sweetly but I'm pretty sure my face was riddled with confusion. Even so, she was seemingly oblivious to it.

"You should totally join soccer. That's like the biggest sport here." She purred leaning against the locker. Were all girls in this school this, strange. I mean she's kinda acting weird.

"Nah, I might join the swim team." I said closing my locker. She gave a big smile and stepped closer again. 'What is up with this girl?' t thought for the millionth time.

"You should totally join. I would love to see you in the swim uniform." She whispered dragging her index finger across my arm. But wait, I'm pretty sure the swim uniform is just swim shorts. What's so special about that. I glanced at her finger tracing my arm which was kinda freaking me out.

Just then three girls stepped through the doors. Oh thank the Gods, one of them is Annabeth. The girls next to her look familiar, like I've seen them before but I didn't quite know there names.

"Uh, it was nice meeting you." I said awkwardly to the uncomfortable close red head, "but my girlfriends waiting on my." And with that I gave a small wave and got the Hades outa there.

When I looked back she had a slightly dropped jaw. I turned back around just in time to catch up with Annabeth.

"Hey," I smiled going into step next to her.

"Hey," she smiled back. The two girls on the other side of her squealed. Annabeth rolled her eyes and I chuckled slightly.

"So you gonna introduce me to your friends?" I asked Annabeth turning my head slightly so I could see them. Annabeth sighed at her friends then began.

"This is Christine." She pointed to the slightly tanned girl wearing a blue shirt with a crude diamond design on its chest along with skinny jeans and converse. I gave a small wave at her and she smiled in my direction.

"And this she said pointing to the other girl next to her, "is Jenny." Jenny smiled at me as I waved to her too.

Jenny was wearing a plain black shirt along with unnaturally blue jeans (im talking like bright not even in the denim family of blue, blue) with converse.

"Any way this is my boyfriend Percy." She introduced me. It was obvious that they had talked about this before hand due to their reactions.

Annabeth shook her head at there giggling. "Hey guys, I gotta go. I need to talk to a teacher about extra credit." She said already speeding up a little and turning around to face us.

"Ok, see you around Annabeth." Christine said along with a nod from Jenny. I waved,

"Bye." She walked away down the hall and out of sight. My mind almost immediately switched into auto mode when she left.

I really want to get to know her friends. Maybe get them to like me. My thoughts were interrupted by something suddenly knocking me to the side. I felt my back bag lightly against the locker doors which caused them to rattle.

I tried to protest in confusion but instead the two faces of Christine and Jen approached me. They were giving me skeptic looks as if they were studying all of my flaws. I looked around and saw the hall way was almost completely empty.

I gave them a look of complete confusion, mostly because that was how I felt. They continued to advance in a somewhat threatening way,

"Uhhh." I said shrinking into the locker. Yep, I took down the Lord of Time but I was nearly quaking at the sight of two 12th graders.

"Before we've approved you to date Annabeth, we need to make sure your good for her." Christine said seriously.

"First of all." Jen started,

"Ever had another girl friend?" I nodded no but Christine quickly followed with more questions.

"Ever flunked a grade?" again I nodded my head to signal I hadn't, in a fairly fearful way unfortunately.

"Ever broke the law?"

"Ever smoked before?"

"Ever done drugs?"

"Ever been in juevie?"

"Ever gotten someone pregnant?" I nodded no to all of them but my eyes got wide at the last one as I leaned back a little more.

"Uh, no." I said awkwardly. The two looked at each other and shared a look of somewhat contentment before immediately walking down the hall.

As there figures got smaller a few people started coming through the doors but I just stayed there for a few minutes in utter confusion.

So much for winning her friends over, I thought with a sigh as I trudged to my first class even though it didn't start for another 20 minutes.

Ok, so for any of you who didn't get it, yes she was flirting with him. He was just to clueless to notice. Yeah, I just wanted to get in some competion between Annabeth and some one else, and also the complete cluelesness of Percy.
