IN THE HERMES CABIN

Travis paced around the Hermes cabin as Percy watched him, eyes moving to and fro.

"Ok, so obviously you aren't ready to ask Annabeth out on a date yet from the results you displayed on Monday. So…let's start with some basic pick up lines." The Stoll suggested while rummaging through his drawers.

"Here," he threw a small paper booklet at Percy's feet. While his "student" picked it up and examined the package he explained, "It's a book full of pick lines to study off of."

"Gee…you think this will really work? They're pretty cheesy if you ask me." An unsure Percy asked.

Travis scoffed, "Girls love cliché stuff like this, TRUST me...they always work on Katie."

Annabeth wiped the sweat off of her forehead. She had been outside for an hour now scrubbing the muck off the cabin walls.

Why am I stuck doing this? It wasn't even MY fault…the stupid Stoll brothers and their idiot cotton candy idea. She thought bitterly as she soaked her sponge in water for the eleventh time that day.

Oh and there's Seaweed Brain maybe I can get him to help with this….hey what's he looking at so intently? Hey…is he staring at…me?

She felt herself blush…Oh gods he's coming over here. The now very red Annabeth thought to herself. Oh no, I look like a tomato…don't come any closer.

"Hey Annabeth!" Percy started, "Would you like to-" Percy had collided with the soapy Athena Cabin wall that Annabeth was previously working at.

That idiot. She thought as she watched him pull away from the wall, his face now covered in bubbles.

"Are you okay? You hit yourself pretty hard there." Annabeth asked him failing to suppress her grin.

Percy gave a sheepish smile, "I'm fine but just then I was so enchanted by your beauty that I ran into this wall so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance purposes.

Annabeth immediately stopped laughing and frowned. "First of all, you already know my name, but considering the fact that you hit your head pretty badly and must be suffering some short term memory loss , it's Annabeth Chase. And second, cell phones are prohibited off campus." And with that she dropped her sponge into Percy's hand and walked away leaving him to attend to her duties.

"MAKE SURE IT'S SQUEAKY CLEAN!" She yelled over her shoulder.
