Annabeth's POV

I admit I was irritated but when Percy started he was about to say something serious and just when he was about to spit it out, Travis and Conner came out of the woods and started coming towards us with a wrapped package. Oh no, this can't be good. They looked at me, and then at Percy turned red.

"Were we interrupting something?" They asked.

"No, of course not. What did you guys need?" I asked with mock politeness. The Stoll Brothers were up to something.

"Well . . . we heard it was your birthday and we just wanted to give this to you from the Hermes cabin." Wait a minute; no one knew about my birthday except for . . . Percy and Thalia.

"How do you know it's my birthday?" I asked cautiously.

"Well, Percy told us." I was furious; I made him swear on the River Styx to not tell anyone. I was too angry to realize that you can't go against promises made by the River Styx. I turned to him with daggers in my eyes. He saw my death glare and burst out.

"No I didn't! Annabeth I swear I didn't!" I was heading back to my cabin when Travis and Conner stopped me.

"We were just kidding."

"So if you were kidding, how did you find out?" I asked roughly.

"Well we saw it on the calendar in Percy's cabin." Percy's cabin, wait why were they in Percy's cabin.

"Why were you in my cabin?" Percy asked, wondering the same thing I was.

"Ummm . . . we were on inspection." He faltered. Percy and I raised our eyebrows, neither one us was buying it.

"But Travis." I mocked. "Malcolm is on inspection duty." In the back Conner was doing a facepalm.

"Nice job dude, our cover is blown. We were scouting territory for our latest prank." He confessed.

"Why'd did you do that? It would have worked!" Travis yelled. Umm . . . no it wouldn't have.

"What prank?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Coming!" Travis said, using the old someone is calling me trick. But before I could say anything, they ran away leaving me, Percy, and the wrapped present.

Travis's POV

Wow, what fools, shouldn't they know better than to even touch a gift from the Hermes Cabin. Anyways we ran, hoping they wouldn't follow us. We ran back to the place where we had hidden a camera to tape Annabeth's reaction when she opens our 'present'. See, obviously it's not a real gift. We got a book about spiders, wrapped it and gave it to her. We turned the camera on, and waited.
