Annabeth's POV:

It was quiet a funny afternoon at Starbucks. Silena planed her party for Saturday. Katie and Travis were fighting (Silena called it flirting) and everyone else was talking about everything.

Shortly said, it was nice.

Around 6 pm I started to walk home. I made a Stop at a store with business articles. I was looking for a new block. After I found one I went to checkout. In front of me - in the queue - stood Percy.

"Hey." I said to him and he turned around.

"Oh hey…Annabeth, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah. How was your first day?"

"It was okay. I thought it's going to be worse."

"Really. What did you think it would be like?"

"That I, for example, would have to stand in front of the class and tell them something about me. That would have been horrible."

"Oh, then you have nice teachers. There are a few teachers, who would have wanted you to tell something about yourself, in front of the class."

"Then I got lucky."

We were walking out of the store.

"Which direction do you have to go?" I asked him.

"That one." He pointed his Finger in the same direction that I had to go too.

"Same as me. We could walk together if you want to."

"Sure." We started walking. After a few Minutes of silence he asked: "Does Silena always interrogate people like me?"

"Oh yeah. You really should watch what you say to her. But you already made a mistake by saying no to the question whether you have a girlfriend or not."

"Why?"

"She's going to pair you off with someone."

"Oh damn."

"Now that you know it, you could watch out for the signs."

"And they would be…?"

"Firstly, she's going to leave you alone with a girl once in a while. Then she's going to interrogate you about that girl indirectly, later directly. She's going to place you all the time next to the girl, or she bumps you into that girl, so that you two touch each other. You know what I mean?"

He nodded.

"Anyway she's doing that really often. Sometimes it's conspicuous and sometimes it's not."

"Does it always work? I mean, do the person she's trying to pair off get together in the end?"

"Sometimes."

"Okay, thanks for the warning. I'm going to look out for the signs."

"You're welcome." After that we were silent again.

"Okay, I have to turn here." Percy said after a few Minutes.

"Alright. See you tomorrow in school. And get home well."

"Thanks, you too."

Then he turned around and walked away. After he got swallowed from the crowd I kept on walking home.

The evening was really boring. My Family already ate dinner when I came home. My Dad and Helen were watching Tv, Matthew and Bob were in their room doing something. I just went to my Room, and tried to read a book, which wasn't really easy with dyslexia.

When I walked into the Room where I had Math the next day, Percy and Grover were already sitting on their places behind me. I sat down myself and turned around to talk to them.

"Morning." Grover welcomed me. "As I can see, you got out of a talk with Mr. Rose today."

I grinned. "Just leaved the Room as fast as I could. Did you found your way home yesterday, Percy?"

He nodded and grinned. "Just turned on the wrong street, one time. But then I found it."

Grover was watching at us. "Did I miss something?"

"No. I just met Percy in the store for business article yesterday."

"Oh."

Thalia walked in the Room and sat next to me.

"And now we're having the horror subject Math."

"Oh come on, it's not that bad." I contradicted.

"Yes it is. The man, who found out about Math and made it a duty to learn about it, should get tortured and thrown into Tartarus."

I rolled my eyes. Thalia always had to overreact. I really don't want to say now that I had fun during Math lesson, but it wasn't that hard. But before I could say more, Mrs. Dodds, entered the Room and started with the lesson.

After the lesson I turned around to Percy again.

"We see us at lunch?" I asked.

"Sure. If I'm late, then I got lost."

"Then let's meet at the lockers. The ones near the Restrooms. Do you know which one I mean?"

He nodded. "Alright."

"Good." With that I turned back and followed Thalia out of the Room.

"Did I miss something between you and Percy? I mean yesterday you didn't really had time to talk that much and today you meet him at the lockers, so that he will sit with us during lunch. Do you like him?" She was grinning knowingly at me.

"What? No! I'm just trying to be nice." I defended myself.

"To whom you try to be nice?" Silena asked me, when she sat behind us.

"To Percy. They'll going to meet at the lockers, to walk together to the Cafeteria." Thalia answered her.

"I'll just show him the Way!"

"Aha…" Silena exchanged a look with Piper, which I couldn't interpret.
