Annabeth POV

Percy was bad at tennis was like, well you'd be telling the truth. Not only did he manage to hit himself in the head with the racket on a back swing ,but he also didn't have a good enough grip and sent it flying across the court nailing Nico in the stomach more then once. Thought after a good hour of practicing with a ball rather then just swinging the damn racket around he was able to hit it relatively good. Though through the whole entire time he was pretty much the laughing stock of the whole thing. Thalia who was amazing at tennis managed to hit in directly in the forehead. Nico wasn't too bad ,but he wasn't exactly good either. For me it was something I never really liked so it didn't matter that much anyway's.

"I hate this stupid sport.."Percy grumbled pouring water on his head instead of in his mouth like the rest of us 'normal' people. "Why on earth someone would do this for fun is beyond me!"

"Well Seaweed Brain not all of us can be good at everything you know," I laughed poking him in the chest ,"I think you're supposed to drink that water."

"Drink it really? What would be the fun of that besides you love it when I hug you!" He said the last part quickly grabbing me and wrapped around me in a bear hug that could only be given by Percy.

"You two need to stop fooling around we actually need to practice!" Thalia yelling across the court from were her and Nico were standing. Percy made a face and muttered, "Well I wish we didn't, Now do I? But as long

as we have to lets make it fun." I gave him a funny look and before I knew it he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. Damn tennis.

By the time we got back to Thalia's house we were all sore and cramped. Who knew tennis took so much out of you? But Percy apparently had this brilliant idea of ' Hey let's throw Annabeth in the pool then jump in after her because it was to warm outside'. I would say I was annoyed ,but I was to busy laughing my head off when Percy surfaced in the water and did a weird swishing move.

"You are such a weirdo." I laughed dunking him again. How on earth did this boy get into collage? Let alone pass high school?

"Well lets just say I'm smarter then you think. Besides do you feel the heat now? No, you don't not after this leisurely swim." He smiled after resurfacing. "Besides I don't think you mind it that much."

I had to laugh at that because he was right on and I guess I didn't ,but I feel like is ego was bug enough so I wasn't going to say that it didn't. We pulled ourselves out of the pool, "You know you look like a mental patient with your hair like that right?" I laughed looking at him as he scowled.

"Obviously the sexiest mental patient you ever saw, right?" He laughed crossing him arms while he smirked.

"Oh definitely ,but I suggest you let me fix it before some one calls the loony bin." I said throwing a glance to Thalia who I can only guess was try to cut an apple with a butter knife. Some people just never learn do they? I walked up to him and jumped onto a chair. "And now I'm taller then you, so I can and you can't stop me." I smiled triumphantly and tried to pat down his head. He just smirked.

"Oh really I can't stop you?" He said raising his hands in defeat. "But then how come I can do this?" He said wrapping his arms around my waist and spin around setting me down on the ground. I just rolled my eye's which made him smiled and laugh at my annoyance. "Oh please like you're actually annoyed." He said lifting my head up to meet his eye's instead of me looking at the ground. He softly kissed my lips and as soon as I was about to lean into it more he pulled away and started walking to the sliding door of the house.

I sighed in frustration. "Percy that's not funny!" I said running after him. "You can't just do that and then leave it's like planning to go sky diving with your friend then she chickens out at the last second..." I said having a mini flashback of Hawaii with Thalia. Stupid girl never told me she was afraid of heights when we about to dive out. But that didn't matter because I could still go with out her. And i did ,but you can't just kiss someone without the other person. Well you could ,but it's not nearly as fun.

"Well then how could I ever make up for it?" Percy smiled, god his ego is go big right now.

"Oh nothing just remember I'm going to get you back and you won't know when." I smiled revenge is bittersweet because I probably try to do the same thing with him yet get to into it. And pulling away just isn't fun all the time ,but it's called for now. "And I'm soaking wet and I hope you have a change of clothing other then that super cool tennis outfit." I giggled because he looked like he was either retired or felt working as a caddy. Lets just say he didn't exactly pull off the whole white shirt, sweater vest, shorts, long white socks and shoes. And he was soaking wet which just made it look ridiculous.

"Nico chose the matching outfits.." He said looking through the glass at his differently dressed and dry friend, "But he didn't wear the matching outfit. Or well he did ,but his is black. Like always."

"Well he didn't wear the grandfather socks either. But anyway's we have to dry off and change." I started walking towards the door again and hopping inside beating him by a step. Thalia looked at me and almost burst out laughing ,but I guess my glare made her hold it in. Then her eye's landed on the mental patience looking boy behind me and I guess it was too much.

"Well Percy you give a new definition to the word 'crazy'." Nico said snickering. Percy glared at him before laughing and pointing at him, "Nico you have your shirt on backwards you idiot.." And then the rest of us laughed at him or well Thalia while me and Percy snuck into the laundry room and opened the dryer which thank god had no clothing in it. I took off my shoes and socks first and then I notice Percy and froze.

Why did this boy have that effect on me? Once again he had no shirt on which made me freeze and ogle his muscled chest, abs and , shit Annabeth snap out of it! "Percy why exactly do you have your shirt off?" I said trying to peel my eye's away from his toned chest.

"Where drying out clothes right?" He said looking at me then changing his gaze to his shirt in the dryer. God this boy was so oblivious..

"Well yes ,but I'm going to exit the room then take the rest of my clothing off." I said walking out of the room knowing that if I didn't and he actually caught me staring at him again he would laugh his head off and never let go of it.

"You're no fun!" He whined sarcastically and then laughed jokingly, Thalia looked at me chuckling while shaking her head which earn an eye roll.

The rest of the day was just as funny as the beginning because of making or well 'poking' fun at people. But I learned a lot of new things about Percy from Nico. Like how he once had to go onto a plane and had a panic attack. But Percy wasn't scared of heights apparently just planes. Also Nico had a mustache in high school for two months of Junior year which apparently got shaved by Percy at a birthday party.

But right now Thalia and Nico were watching football talking again about some band that was coming to the Hamptons for some gigantic concert. I was sitting on the couch and Percy was laying down with his head in my lap watching the TV and glancing at at me. I was trying hard to focus on my book ,but getting frustrated because half of the freaking thing was in French. I took Greek instead of French for my four years of high school and now I wish I took French because this is a pretty darn good book.

"You're cute when you're frustrated." Percy smiled looking up. I saw a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"It's just this stupid book! Half the words are in French and I just don't get it." I said throwing in the book onto the floor.

"Well in my opinion book are just always stupid and that is why I don't read them." He said sitting regularly. I moved over so I was next to him more and rested my head on his shoulder.

"I liked reading ,but just not French architecture." I sighed ,but it was a course at the collage I'm going to. "I'm getting tired from trying to focus on a stupid book."

"I don't see how you could even like reading about building's, but-" He was interrupted by a ringing phone which Thalia went to the kitchen and picked up. We all looked and stayed silent trying to figure out who it was. I can't tell it Nico and Percy knew it was ,but I could. She picked it up and immediately her face darkened. I saw her eye's glaze over which meant that they were actually tearing up ,but she refused to blink hoping they would dry. I heard her lowly hiss ,"What that hell do you want?" Into the phone before she mouthed one second to us and walked outside.

We stayed silent knowing that sound passed through that glass as easily as it did air.

Thalia POV

I can't believe that ass had the nerve to call! Yes, maybe we need to discuss what happened ,but I'm pretty sure he called at first trying to win me back. And like hell that was going to happen,

"Luke the the hell do you want!" I shouted into the phone once I was safely outside and hopefully out of their hearing range. I heard him slowly take a shaky breath before responding,

"Thalia I called to apologize about what happened. It was just one big giant misunderstanding-" But that's were I cut that idiot off.

"No Luke there was no misunderstanding there wasn't even something to discuss! You cheated, I said it's over done and I've already took the liberty of sending letters to everyone that a wedding will no longer be happening. Nothing between you and me will be happening!" I shouted feeling the need to break something. To bad this conversation wasn't in person because Luke would be feeling a lot of pain right now.

"Thalia just listen for one damn second!" Luke said into the phone slowly, "I broke things off with Rachel so we could be together!"

"You have a screwed perception of reality! I don't want to be with you! You were with me you bastard and then you screwed it over with her! You didn't have to break up with her Luke because literally right now I hate you and if I see your face I will probably punch it." I said not screaming ,but I wasn't exactly quiet.

"Thalia! Don't destroy what we had!" He said sounding like was had about to cry and partly like he was mad.

"Luke! I didn't do anything! That was your damn mind thinking that it was my fault! Like hell I'm ever going to even think we ever 'had' anything in the freaking past even!" I was furious so furious I screamed away from the receiver and threw the hand held phone into the pool watching it slowly sink to the bottom. The light of the phone screen died out and walked back into the house sitting back down near Nico who was screaming at the TV.

"No! No! No! Pass the ball you idiot! Don't run you'll never make it!" Nico screamed as I sat back down laughing at the crazed look in his eye's and the crazy outburst. "If only I was a football coach.." He sighed taking a sip of coke.

"I think this is late enough for me so I'm going to go to bed."Annabeth sighed standing up and kissing Percy and walking up the stairs. I guess I felt good for them ,but it was bittersweet for me because of the whole 'Luke' problem. But every time Annbath and Percy kiss there both onfreaking cloud nine for like the next hour.

"So Thalia whatever happened to the phone?" Percy said looking at me rolling his eyes. I swore under my breath knowing that I had not in fact got out of there hearing range.

"Well if you must know it's in the pool." I said looking at Nico who shrugged and started talking.

"Look obviously Thalia you will need to talk to him civilly for a minute or two before we kill him." Nico looked at me with dead seriousness in his eyes ,but I knew Luke would only get away from that fight with maybe some sprained ankles and wrists.

"But I don't want to and the fact that he even tried to call just pissed me off!" I practically screamed, "Not to mention the fact that he said he would break up with her for me treating me like some stupid tramp!" I wanted to strangle him and then stuff his lifeless body in a locker ,but I knew that was just my slightly crazy side talking.

"You need time to cool off. I if Luke knew you he would know that. Hell from knowing you for a year I learn that -" Percy started talking ,but then he was interrupted by a voice he thought he wouldn't hear behind him.

"What the hell?" Annabeth stood behind them all flicking her eye's to everyone's checking to see if they were joking. They weren't.

"Shit.."
