I don't own PJO or HOO, Sir Riordan does.

Hey hey hey! Long time no see! Why, are you asking in your mind in front of your computer? Because, my lady/sir, SCHOOL just started here, in Argentina, so… Thanks for review/favorite/follow me and the story!

And, talking about the beta, I decided to…

Love the Babysitter

"So dad hired a new employee for the store, I think the guy is going to fix all the broken things and attend the cash register," Silena said excitedly, almost jumping of joy. Annabeth looked at her with a frown, her gray eyes curious. They both were walking through the halls of Goode High, talking.

Or gossiping, Annabeth thought. Silena told her a few important things: a) Rachel was horribly mad and had one gauze on her forehead. B) Almost everyone knew that she was babysitting on Percy's house. C) Girls were really, really jealous.

A new that Silena didn't know: She wanted die.

"And why are you so happy?" Annabeth asked, looking at her friend.

Silena looked at her as if she suddenly were silly "Umm Annabeth, dad hired a guy…" she waved her hands suggestively. Annabeth still didn't grasp "I go to my dad's store every day…" Still no answer "Urgh, Chase, perhaps you become stupid in the last minutes? I was saying that maybe he is hot!" Silena shouted, getting a pair of dubious and confused looks from other students. She simply ignored them.

Annabeth rolled her eyes "Keep your voice down, Silena. And I'm not stupid, I understand you!" she whispered-screamed.

Silena lowered her voice, and the two began to walk again "So? Why don't you say something like 'Oh, that sounds great Silena, he surely will be hot and will fall for you!'" she exclaimed, as if it were the most obvious thing that a friend would say.

Annabeth looked into her eyes, starting to get annoyed by her behavior "Because that's not what I think." she opened her locker and began to rummage through her books.

"So what do you think?" Silena asked, putting her two beautiful and soft, full of manicure hands on her slim hips. She raised her thin eyebrows at her blonde friend and waited for a response, which arrived a few moments later.

"I think you've been seeing a lot of Disney or passed the miracle of you reading a book... of fairies tales," Annabeth said, closing her locker and returning her gaze to her beautiful friend. She noted that for a long time she saw her in heels and dresses, with her hair gracefully falling down her back, in others words, Silena's typical outfit. But today, Silena wore a light white blouse that said 'I love Victoria's Secret', shorts and pink Vans. Her silky, straight black hair was tied in a fishtail plait that fell over her right shoulder. She was radiant.

Annabeth looked down at her own clothes. She was wearing a light blue-gray T-shirt with an owl, dark shorts and an old black convers. Nothing expensive like Silena, just normal clothes.

"Hey!" Silena complained.

Annabeth shrugged "Sorry, but seriously Silena, I don't think that will happen," Silena frowned and opened her mouth to reply, but Katie came running up to them, breathing heavily, her face red as a tomato. She put her hands on her knees and took a deep breath to level the followings ones. Annabeth looked at her confused. Her brown hair was held backwards with a little green clip. She wore an aqua green shirt with a bear that says 'Bear Hugs', ripped jeans, and aqua green sneakers.

"What happened?" Annabeth said at the same time Silena said "You look like a cute tomato with legs." To which the two face-palmed.

"Uh, sure" Katie said, looking doubtfully at Silena "I have been looking for you all morning! Where were you?"

"In class, walking, why?" Annabeth asked frowning.

Katie returned to take a deep breath and smiled "Because I have something very important to tell you!" She grabbed her friends by their wrists and dragged them away.

-.-.-.-.-

Annabeth walked to Percy's house, hands in pockets, headphones in ears. Her curly hair in a ponytail, her mouth silently singing the song 'You Belong with Me' by Taylor Swift. She grimaced, remembering what her friend Katie told her.

-A few hours earlier-

"So I called him, told him I couldn't go, and then he told me he would see me in a few minutes," Katie had said, unexplainable happiness coming of her words. She had gathered all (Annabeth, Silena, Thalia and Piper) and began to tell them of her 'meeting' with Travis Stoll "I didn't know what he meant, so I waited" she smiled lovingly.

"Katie, I seriously have to go, so please hurry." Thalia said checking out the time on her phone.

"Okay, okay!" Katie said with an annoyed tone, as if she was going to tell something of gold "It turns out that he came with two coffee cups, and we started doing the project on the counter, and talking, and joking…" she sighed dreamily.

Annabeth looked at her with a frown "I thought you hated him…" The others nodded in agreement.

Katie shrugged "I hate him,"

"So?" Annabeth and Thalia asked exasperated in unison. They seemed to be the only ones who didn't understand. Or the most inexperienced in all this business of love.

"Well, duh," Piper said incredulously "It's clear that they have a love/hate relationship," Annabeth and Thalia exchanged glances, their furrowed brows.

"Whatever," Thalia said taking her bag to her shoulder "Annie and I have to go to detention, see you later," she waved as she walked through the door. Annabeth grabbed her backpack and yelled "Don't call me Annie!" while she left the room.

-Now-

She still didn't understand. For her, it was impossible to like or love a person you hate. That was physically impossible; it wasn't in any book she had read or any class that she had taken. Because if you hate a person, you can't love them. Or you hated or loved him, there was no other way. She wondered if Katie actually hated Travis, or her hatred was just a mask to hide her true feelings for him.

Annabeth felt hurt. Katie wouldn't hide something as big as her crush on someone, would she? They had a pact in their group: Tell everything. From family problems to love problems, cheesy things like that.

She arrived at the door of the Blofis' house and rang the bell. The door opened, showing Paul Blofis. The man was dressed in a white shirt, the tie disorderly, khaki pants and brown shoes. There were circles under his eyes barely visible and had a briefcase in his hand. He smiled lazily to Annabeth.

"Hi Annabeth, how has school been?"

She smiled politely "It has been very good, thanks. How are you?"

"Tiring," He smiled "I have a meeting right now and Sally is already at work," she nodded "I also think that Percy will come later, so you're on your own."

"Okay," Annabeth said "Have a good... meeting."

Paul laughed a little "I hope so, thanks again Annabeth." She smiled and waved. When the Prius left the garage, Annabeth entered the house, closed the door and went to the door of Tyson.

At that time, Polly left her room and hugged her; a happy smile crossed her face. The little girl was wearing a nice pink dress and white sandals with flowers. That child was the sweetness in person.

"Annabeth!" she screamed and hugged Annabeth's legs.

The oldest laughed and wrapped her arms around the small body of Polly "Hey Polly, I missed you too," Polly broke the hug and looked at her, her face radiant with joy. Annabeth wondered why Polly could be so happy.

"Annabeth, guess what!" Polly squealed with joy.

Annabeth couldn't help but laugh "I don't know, what happens?"

Polly smiled even more, if that was humanly possible "In exactly one week, is my..." She paused dramatically "Birthday!" she cried.

"Oh my God, that is amazing Polly!" Annabeth said, happy for the girl.

"I know!" Polly said "I'll go back to my room to plan what to do for that day!" she jumped away and closed the door behind her, leaving Annabeth standing there, confused.

'If she is like that for her 7th birthday, I don't want to imagine what she will be like for her Sweets 16.' Annabeth thought, shaking her head.

-.-.-.-.-

An hour and a half later, Annabeth was sitting on the living room couch with Tyson in her lap, giving him milk in his bottle while Polly wandered about what she wanted to do for her birthday when the door opened. Annabeth turned her head scared but relaxed when she saw that it was Percy.

She studied him secretly. His black hair was a little wet and disheveled, streaming down his forehead and reaching his eyes. He had a blue shirt and a black swim suit, with white trainers with blue stripes. He dropped his backpack on the floor and hung his keys. A guy (or preferably two) went after him. Both had curly brown hair and pale blue eyes, pointy nose and arched eyebrows. The only difference between them was that one was taller than the other. Annabeth knew them; they were the brothers Travis and Connor Stoll. Just the person Katie had spoken of.

The three laughed at something, and still didn't notice her presence. Annabeth cleared her throat and the three stopped laughing, but they were still smiling.

"Oh, hey Annabeth," Percy said.

Annabeth nodded "Hey,"

"Hey there, Chase." The brothers said in unison.

"Hello." she said curtly. Her relationship with the brothers wasn't the best of all. She believed that spend pranks on younger students was not a good thing.

"How has life treated you, Chase?" Connor asked.

She raised an eyebrow at him "Fine, I guess." She was more confused when she saw that Connor shifted his weight from foot to foot uncomfortably. Travis and Percy looked at him playfully, as if they enjoyed of his discomfort.

Percy shook his head and walked up to Annabeth. Her heart began to race when she saw his hand coming towards her. But became disappointed when his big hand passed over her and stroked Tyson's head.

"Hey Big Boy, everything's okay?" Tyson smiled yet with the bottle in his mouth, causing him to drown. Annabeth pulled the bottle out of his mouth and sat him up, hitting soft pats on his back until the baby unburdened himself.

"Sorry Tyson," Percy muttered before looking at his half-sister "What are you doing Polly?"

Polly looked at him with a sparkle in her eyes, and that made him to repent immediately for ask, but he loved her too much to tell her.

"Well I was thinking that maybe..." And she began to ramble about her birthday for over 3 minutes. Annabeth believed that Percy was going to shut her up and leave, but he stood there, listening to every word of what her sister said, a smile on his face too. When she finished, he said "That would be great," and after leaving his sister happy, he went with his friends to his room.

Annabeth smiled. Percy was an excellent person. Or maybe he knew how to treat a woman.

A/N= 1.936 words and 10 pages.

I know, this chapter sucks so badly. I'm not satisfied with it. Forgive me please. It's just that I felt guilty for not updating in a while that it took me to write a chapter horrible and desperate.

About the beta, well... I'll try to have one. But I don't know who. I mean, some people volunteered to do so, and I'm very grateful. So, I had only one request. Try to be available almost every day if you can and try to send the corrected chapter as soon as possible. Okay, I think those were two requests. Those who can accomplish that, please send me a PM.

Okay, I think in the next chapter Silena meets the new employee of her father and something with Percabeth. Do not know when I'll be able to update, I will try to as soon as possible. Forgive me for BG, T and OOCness.

Thanks for review, and all that!

Peace out,

HappyOwl.
