Enjoy! I do not own PJO or HoO.

"Annabeth pass the ball and follow!" Coach Sally yelled over the crowd.

I nodded and looked up at the clock, 3:21 seconds, once at 2:00 we'd have to start pressing. Thalia and Reyna were out of the option of being passed to, so I dribbled in and quickly bounced passed to Hazel, who shot of the back board and got it in. 23-26,it read.

"Press!" Clarisse yelled.

I kept guarding number 39, she was fast, fairly short and went by the name of Diana. She ended up passing to 12, who Thalia was guarding. 12, drove for the basket and did a layup, but luckily for us, she missed. Reyna got the rebound, did a triple threat, and then passed to Thalia, who bounce passed to me. I drove up, and as I was about to do a lay-up, I passed it Thalia. She shot from behind the three point line, and the ball went in. 26-26. With only 0:40 seconds left, my adrenaline started pumping even more. As 39 were coming up, she passed to 21 who were guarded by Clarisse. 21 shot from inside the three point line, and the ball bounced on the rim before going in. 0:9.24 seconds left. 39 came down again, and passed to 21 before I could guard her. Clarisse blocked her shot, and passed to Hazel, who passed to me. 0.1.20 seconds left. I was just outside the three point line by a hair, and shot it. BUZZZ! I read the score, 29-28 us.

"Great job ladies!" Coach Sally yelled with glee.

We all ran toward each other, high fived and five starred each other.

"That was pretty close," Clarisse said in disbelief.

I took a sip out of my water bottle, and grinned.

"So now we're playing against Veronica High right?" Hazel asked.

"Yup, and if we win then we're against Hunters High and if we win that? Then we won the championship." Clarisse stated.

"You guys have two hours until we have to warm up, I suggest you eat lunch now. Theres taxi's you guys can take or you can walk or go with Annabeth, since her cousin allowed them to use their van for the day." Sally put down her clipboard on the bench.

We all nodded.

"So Thals, Reyna and Silena you're coming with me right?" I asked.

"Yeah," Reyna replied.

"Yuup," Thalia said.

"Oh no sorry, I'm going with Charlie, sorry if I forgot to tell you," Silena blushed.

"Ah its kay Sil, anyone wanna come with us to lunch if you're aloud?" I asked.

"Are Seaweed Brains aloud?"

I knew it was Percy. When we were playing a basketball game with Thalia, Nico and Bianca, I called him a "Seaweed Brain," when he started travelling and doubling dribbling on purpose. We ended up winning that game, just to point out.

"Well," I drawled out. "Seaweed Brains that are named Percy are not aloud." I didn't turn around.

"What about Seaweed Brains that are named Percy Jackson?"

"Nope," I turned around and smiled.

"Seaweed Brains that are named Perseus Jackson?" he moved a step closer.

"I would have to say… nope," I moved forward.

We were now face to face, and were testing to see who would break first.

"Pretty good Chase," he said.

"Same with you Jackson," I kept up my poker face.

"Percy, stop bothering Annabeth, and you're coming with me out for lunch." Sally smirked, which made me grin.

"Bye Chase," he did a lopsided grin.

My heart fluttered in my chest. Crap! I'm not falling for Percy, no no no no no…

"See yea Jackson," I turned around and smiled at the girls.

"Learning from the master," Piper whispered in my ear.

We both laughed, "Hell yeah," I replied.

Thals, Reyna, Piper, Hazel, my dad and I stood in line at Booster Juice. It was my favourite place to go, well, other than the Arena of course. Our tournament was in Arizona, so when I could get Booster Juice I did.

"Hello welcome to Booster Juice," A girl with brown hair and blonde streaks said.

"Hey," we all said at different times, well other than my dad of course.

Thalia, Hazel, Reyna and Piper let us go first, since they were still deciding.

"Can I have a regular sized Funkey Monkey please?"

"Sure, do you want anything else in it?" The girl who went by the name Max, asked.

"No thanks,"

"Anything for you sir?"

"Im good thank you," my dad replied.

"Okay, the total comes to $6.00 please."

I gave her the money, and moved over to the side as Piper went to order. My dad ran his fingers through his sandy blond hair and smiled, which made me smile back. We had a rocky relationship at first, getting into fights about my step mother and all that, but now it's like it never happened.

Once we all got our smoothies, we headed to our cousin's Toyota Sienna 2011. I took shot gun, and Hazel plugged in her Ipod.

Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street,

faster than the wind,

passionate as sin, ending so suddenly,

loving him is like trying to change your mind

once you're already falling through the free fall,

like the colors in autumn

so bright, just before they lose it all

We all looked at each other and started singing as loud as we could the chorus

Losing him was blue like I never known,

missing him was dark grey all alone,

forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met,

but loving him was red,

r-r red r-r-r red r-r-r red r-r-r red

We sang the rest of the song, and other songs like Little Things by One Direction (Our pick), Castle of Glass by Linkin Park (Thalia's pick), Kiss You Inside Out by Hedley, (Piper's Pick), Little Bird by Ed Sheeran (Hazel's Pick), I'm Over the Moon (Reyna's pick) and Want U Back by Cher Lloyd (my pick). We toured Arizona a bit, and then made our way back to the school.

Coach Sally let Percy lead us in some warm ups, and I didn't know if that was a good idea or not.

"Okay, so dribble around the outside of the court with the opposite hand you write with,"

As I was going around and since I'm so lucky, the basketball bounced off my foot and rolled over to where Percy was standing. I groaned, and jogged over to him. He picked up the ball, chest passed it to me and said.

"Remember hit the ground and not your foot with the basketball next time," then he grinned.

I grinned back and replied "Will do Seaweed Brain, in about.. 10 years from now."

Rolling my eyes, I made my way between Clarisse and Reyna, they both made kissy noises at me. And I retaliated back by sticking out my tongue. Unfortunately Percy saw.

"Chase stop being immature,"

"Never!" I yelled back.

[A page break, the best page break in the world! mwahahaha]

Once the game finished, we went back to our bench. We didn't win, but I didn't care, neither did the rest of the team. The score was 18-26 us.

"Good job ladies," Coach Sally smiled at us.

"Thanks coach," we replied.

"The flights going to leave us jetlagged, but we have basketball the next night," Thalia said in my ear.

"Blahhh," I replied.

"Hah, I know right." she said back.

"But on the bright side, we get to miss school on Monday since we're coming back to New York, where our lovely highschool is," I smirked.

"I never thought about that," Thalia mumbled as she started thinking on what she could do that day.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked.

"Yeah?" I turned around.

He nodded over to the left, and we both walked over to the side basketball nets.

"So.." I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Would you ever go out with a Seaweed Brain like me?" he ran his fingers through his hair.

I blushed, but tried to hide it, which was probably just an epic fail. "Maybe," I grinned.

"I'll take that as a yes?"

I shrugged and smirked.

"6 o'clock this Friday night?" Percy's green eyes sparkled.

"Did I say yes?" I laughed.

"No, but I'm taking it as a yes."

"Okay you do that,"

He kissed me on the cheek, and went back over to Coach Sally.

Heyy :)
