Chapter II-Annabeth

There was a moment of stunned silence.

Then Maria King started LAUGHING!

"Why you hideous creature!" I yelled

She laughed again then said,

"So Becca finally got him huh?" So that's what it was about!

"No. It was a water nymph."

"No!" She exclaimed, then turned to her brothers.

"Boys, we weren't talking about anything were we?"

"No." They answered in unison, much to my surprise.

"And your all going to go play basketball right?"

"Right." They, like mindless zombies walked off.

"Come on, if we're doing some serious talking, which we ARE we'll need to talk in private. Let's go to my cave."
