So he waved to his mom and then kissed Thalia and Rachel on the cheeks. He heard his mom say something like, "Wait." But, he couldn't- Coach Ares had spoken, and well he was someone not to piss off.

Meeting Seaweed Brain-Chapter 7

(Annabeth POV)

Annabeth rounded the corner with Sally and Paul to see a boy standing there in front of the locker room with two girls. She immediately recognized the people, though. It was Percy, with Thalia and Rachel.

"The boy is my son, Percy." Sally said with a very large smile on her face.

Annabeth nodded her acknowledgement to Sally. Sally was just about to get Percy's attention when the door they were standing in front of slammed open.

"JACKSON! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE! NOW!" screamed the bear of a man that came through the door's opening.

Percy just smiled and kissed the two girls cheeks. Sally had yelled his name but he just waved at her and walked in the building.

Sally let out a sigh, then faced Annabeth, "I was really hoping you'd get to meet Percy. He such a nice boy, even though everyone thinks he's a jerk like his father. He has his moments like every teen age boy that makes you want to pull his hair out, but I bet you'd really like him Annabeth."

Annabeth blushed; Sally was definitely a typical mom. You know the type that sees a pretty girl and wants the girl to date her son.

"Actually Mrs. Blofis, I have a boyfriend." The comment was met with a small glare. Annabeth was slightly frightened that somehow she had actually just upset the world's nicest lady. Annabeth swore she must have an award or something, but right now she was scared of a woman. A very nice woman, who was like the second person in the world to hold her.

"Annabeth, I know you dislike your last name, I love mine but just because I am old enough to be your mother does not mean I look it." Then she did the most mature thing in the world she actually stuck out her tongue at Annabeth, crossed her arms, pointed her chin and quickly walked to the girls. Leaving Annabeth and Paul laughing at her.

"Oh Sally stop being silly," chuckled Paul, which made Sally's chin point out even more defiantly.

Sally stopped when Thalia and Rachel saw her.

"MOM!" they both screamed as they saw Sally. Once they caught up to Sally they collided with her into a large hug. Annabeth heard one of them ask a question as they let go of Sally.

"Who's your friend, Mom?"

Sally gave Thalia a weird look as if saying, you don't know?

Sally followed Thalia's gaze to where it landed on Annabeth. "Oh! Right! I forgot!" with that she introduced the girls. When Annabeth asked why the girls called Sally mom Rachel gave her a 'are you stupid look' but Thalia answered.

"Well, we call Sally mom because when Percy first found out he was Poseidon's son he had to go to one of my families 'reunions' and that's where he met Nico and I. Turns out that we all really got along so he invited us over to meet his mom. Sally's been known as mom ever since we started going over there about once a weekend. Percy had the coolest parties and sleepovers when we were younger. And his mom makes the best blue cookies you've ever tasted!"

Annabeth made a face at the blue comment but didn't voice her question.

"Once Rachel came into the picture however, she heard Nico and I call Sally 'mom' and she was hooked.

Annabeth tried to imagine the son of 'Hades' calling someone 'mom' but she just couldn't grasp it. That's when Rachel finally spoke up, "Well we better get in there before Percy and Nico get worried and look for us…again."

Annabeth figured this wasn't the first time the 'family' had met at a Polo match like this. It might've been the way Sally introduced her to the girls but she didn't like Rachel.

It went like this, "Hey guys, this is Annabeth Cha…"

That's when Annabeth jumped in with "Uh, Sall,y just Annabeth please."

Sally nodded and went on, "Guys, this is Annabeth. Annabeth you know me and Paul."

Sally was interrupted by English teacher Paul, "Sally, its Paul and I." Sally glared a few daggers in his direction but she pressed on with the introductions.

"The brunette over there is Thalia Grace; she's Percy 'cousin.' The red head is Rachel Dare; she is Percy's tutor and friend." Rachel gave Sally an annoyed look that basically said, "Uh…duh." Sally raised an eyebrow in annoyance then added, "Oh sorry, his girlfriend."

Annabeth didn't know but right now she didn't care because she was about to flood the room if she didn't make it to a bathroom A.S.A.P. The bathroom was right there down the hall, so she figured she'd stop in before the match. She said, "Well, I'll see you guys in there in a little bit, got to use the little girls' room first." She turned toward the restroom when she heard a voice say, "Hey, wait up. I gotta go too!"

Annabeth cringed because she thought it was Rachel. When she turned to the person who now had linked their arm in Annabeth's. It was Thalia. The woman had the prettiest blue eyes she had ever seen. They looked as though electricity ran through them.

Annabeth simply shrugged, 'why not?' She smiled however when Thalia started skipping. It apparently, was contagious because before long she had joined Thalia.

Thalia seemed honest to Annabeth. So as they finished up in bathroom and started to wash their hands, she just had to ask her about Rachel. Thalia only smiled and said, "Well Nico told us you were coming. So Percy invited us to make it less awkward for him. Rachel thought you were going to steal him from her."

Annabeth tried to shy away from her blush but Thalia saw it anyway. "Why are you blushing blondie? Oh, you really are here to steal him are you? Well, I'll just say that watch out for Rachel. She's little, but trust me she's got a wicked right hook."

"I honestly don't know what girls see in Percy, or Nico. I mean… their total weirdoes. Nico's alright. Although my boyfriend gets mad jealous about how Nico always takes care of me. He thinks Nico likes me, but I mean were like siblings!" Annabeth remembered how Sally had said they were cousins.

"Aren't you guy's cousins?" she asked. Thalia shrugged, "Nah, we just say that. I've known Nico since he was born and I've known Percy since he was twelve. Sally didn't tell Poseidon about Percy until then. Sometimes Percy gets mad that she even told him. He hates the fame and the popularity. He hates his dad. He just puts up with the 'reunions' so he can hang out with us."

Thalia caught her breath and then got a thought. "Hey! Speaking of reunions, you should come to the next one; I'm bringing my boyfriend, Luke. You'll just love him! Everyone does, well, except the boys. Percy hates how clingy Luke is to me at times and Nico hates that Luke doesn't like him. Or so he says. Anyway want to come?"

Annabeth shrugged and said, "If I'm not busy sure, I'll join you." Then she remembered what Thalia had said with a smile, "Hey! My boyfriend's name is Luke too, maybe they have some weird name link thing and they know each other?"

Thalia just smiled but it must've been a forced smile. Annabeth decided to help lighten the atmosphere. "So, you must tell me all the embarrassing things Percy and Nico have done." Thalia's face lit up as she seemed to remember all the dumb things they had done. The girls laughed the entire way to the stands.

The other three already waiting in the stands gave them weird looks but just looked at the match which had just started.

Annabeth listened as Thalia and Paul explained the rules but she couldn't keep her eyes off a certain black haired boy that she recognized as Percy. Meanwhile, Sally and Rachel were cheering their heads off for Percy and Nico. It was like he was made of water. He was strong too. Every time the ball was in Cornell's possession Percy would show up and the ball would miraculously disappear.

She found herself cheering for him until she remembered that she went to Cornell. (V8, smack to the face) She couldn't help it though, he was so good in the water, it was like he moved with the water, just like seaweed.

Ha, seaweed. HEY! Seaweed brain! It totally fits!

She continued watching the match and as predicted Cornell got smashed. This was fine as it was only Fall and the real season started in the Spring. Trust me, if it was the real season. Well they'd be getting some serious glares right about now. For now they were 'safe.'

Annabeth saw Nico congratulate Percy and he showed his appreciation by pulling the nose piece on Nico's goggles and then letting go. Nico charged Percy so he swam toward 'mom,' which happened to be Thalia at the moment.

When Percy was safe he hid behind Thalia she tried to get out of the way but Nico wrapped his arms around her to get to Percy, soaking her in the process. Thalia's face turned so red from anger that Annabeth swore she could steam. She noticed it only got worse as Percy saw her reaction and hugged her from behind.

Thalia punched Nico in the gut making him fall to his knees and then she chased Percy on the wet tile that surrounded the pool. He, of course, fell down but brought Thalia down with him. She didn't even seem surprised if she was. All she did was hit him. Annabeth hadn't laughed like that in forever. It felt fantastic.

Thalia finally got up and pushed her nose up and stomped away with Rachel who was laughing. Percy eventually got up and was shaking. Apparently Annabeth didn't realize how Thalia hit him. But she changed her mind when she saw that Percy was shaking from hidden laughter. He had the biggest smile and black eye. Not sure if that was Thalia or the match.

Percy just realized she was there apparently because they locked eyes. Ocean green orbs and dull grey locked tight. Orbs? Orbs, Annabeth? Ugh!

Percy started to walk toward her but he slipped on the wet tile again and fell on his butt. He was red in the face and she saw him scold himself. He quickly pushed himself up. He was about to walk away embarrassed when he noticed everyone was laughing which Percy awkwardly started laughing with them.

Annabeth just kept laughing and laughing until she realized something. It stopped her so abruptly that she practically choked. Percy and her were the only ones still laughing.

Annabeth sized Percy up quickly. He was around 6'4" and was a solid 200 pounds. Annabeth probably would've blushed as she stared at the man in front of her. But he was doing the same to her. Percy had the body that Annabeth figured a Greek god would envy. He was perfectly toned. His abs weren't bulging, but still prominent, chest large but not huge, and arms that had muscles making him look stronger than any guy around him. His body was evenly tanned and there wasn't a strand of hair on his god envious body except his head. The little fact that he didn't have hair made his muscles bulge even more.

As she looked up his body she caught his eyes again. She decided to stare into them and try to figure them out like she normally did. She shook her head and looked at his hair. It was still wet but she could tell that he was like her and he left his hair messy. Her hair right now was in a messy pony tail. Hideous. Finally, someone 'ahem-ed' and Annabeth snapped her head to the direction of the noise.
