Hey guys ! I am back! Thank you for all your awesome comments/reviews... Really turned me on! So here goes the story... Brace yourselves for a little twist in the story! Happy Reading!

Annabeth didn't know what was happening to her. Right now, being in Percy's arms distracted her more than ever. Instead of looking ahead at the approaching office of the nurse, she could only stare at the perfectly tanned face of Percy. She shook her head. No, she thought, I can't get distracted, especially not by him.

Her stream of thoughts were broken by Percy's voice. "Hey, we've reached."

"Yeah, okay." She allowed herself to be set down on the ground and unwrapped her hands from Percy's neck."Thanks."

"For what?" Percy asked, innocently.

"For two reasons. One, for carrying me till here and two, for not dropping me."

Percy laughed and said,"You're welcome. My pleasure to carry you." He winked.

Annabeth couldn't help blushing, even though it was just meant to be a joke. Calm down, Annabeth, she thought. Calm down.

Reyna spoke just then,"Look the nurse is here. Let's go. Coming Percy?"

Before he could reply, Annabeth abruptly said,"No, he's not. He helped me get till here. That's enough help. Thank you so much Percy, but now I can manage on my own."

Percy feigned a hurt expression,"No, you can't and you're forgetting about my promise of leaving you home."

"You didn't promise!"

"Well, I do now."

"But-"

"Will you guys just calm down?!" Reyna's voice cut theirs. "For goodness' sake, we're near the nurse's room! It's supposed to be quiet!"

"Sorry," said Annabeth, apologetically."We just got carried away." Both the girls looked at Percy, glaring pointedly. He sighed and said,"Okay, don't eat me. I'm sorry, alright?"

They trooped into a small room where a short old lady was sitting in a chair. She turned around, on hearing the door creak open, and smiled sweetly. "So, which one of you is hurt?"

Reyna put her arms around Annabeth's shoulders. "She is."

The nurse offered her a seat, which Annabeth took gladly as her injured foot was hurting like hell. Percy and Reyna stood on either side of her, while the nurse examined the wound on her elbow.

"Hmm... Not much damage done. Antiseptic and a bandage would suffice." The nurse said with another heart-warming smile to Annabeth, who nodded.

The nurse took out a bottle which had a dark brown liquid in it and dabbed some on a piece of cotton. Then, she raised the wet piece of cotton to the wound.

Ouch, she cringed the moment the cotton touched her. Ow, ow, ow. She grabbed the first thing she touched which happened to be Percy's hand. Percy felt her fingers tighten around his hand, almost crushing it. But instead of reacting or complaining, he decided to keep quiet and bear it. More than Annabeth, this decision surprised himself. He had never felt this sort of warm feeling for any girl, like they were the best of friends. And he had just met Annabeth that day!

Weird, he thought. Must be the heat. The hand around his loosened and he tilted his head from the ceiling to Annabeth. He relaxed, never realizing when his body had become so stiff. Glancing towards Annabeth, he noticed that her wound had been cleaned and the nurse was just putting on a bandage.

The nurse smiled,"You can go now and about the ankle. I have a spray. I have a spray. Just apply it and you'll be fine in two days." She sprayed some on Annabeth's ankle and she winced. Noticing the look, the nurse said reassuringly,"It stings a bit at first, but you'll get used to it soon."

Annabeth managed a weak smile. She turned to Reyna who said,"Let's go. By the way, how are you going? Oh, right. I forgot. Percy's dropping you. And how are you going? " Reyna turned to Percy with the question.

"Car." Was the answer.

"You drive?" Reyna asked in disbelief.

"No! I am not seventeen. I don't have a license." Percy retorted sarcastically.

"Okay.. Just asking." Reyna said.

Both of them helped Annabeth up. They walked slowly towards a bench outside the building and sat down. Reyna looked at her watch and gave such a loud exclamation that the other two jumped."Good heavens, look at the time! It's 1:05! I'm already five minutes late for dinner! I am so fried!"

Annabeth laughed. "Reyna-it's okay. No problem. You'd better go and join your family for lunch. I'll manage. I have Percy."

Percy smiled. "Yeah.. I'll take care of her and Annabeth can call you once she's home."

Reyna nodded."Yeah, that's a good idea. Don't forger to call me, okay?"

"I won't." replied the blonde.

"Okay, bye, then Percy, Annabeth!" Reyna called after them as she rushed off along the road. Both of them waved to her and then turned to each other.

"So.. your car?" Annabeth said hesitantly. Percy seemed to have forgotten about going. He shook his head. This won't do. Stop yourself. Control, he thought. Remain in reality.

He smiled brightly. "Yeah.. I'll take you to the car and then you can give me the directions when I drive."

"Yeah, sure."

They walked for a few minutes, Percy supporting Annabeth all the way, and came to a bright blue car.

"Wow! Nice car." Annabeth said gazing at the beautiful sedan.

"Thanks. My favorite color. Mad about blue. Never really knew why."

"Mhmm." muttered Anabeth, sounding far away.

"Annabeth, you still here?" asked a concerned Percy.

"Huh? Yeah, yeah. I'm okay." mumbled Annabeth still sounding far away.

"Get inside." He opened the door for her and she stepped in. Percy closed the door, walked to his own and sat down on the seat. With Annabeth giving directions, they soon arrived at their destination.

Annabeth sighed. Hearing it, Percy asked, "Hey, tired?"

Nod.

"Yeah, well. It's been a long day. Go home and take a bit of rest. You need it. Any ways tomorrow is Sunday."

Another nod.

"Why are you so quiet?" Percy frowned at the silent girl.

"Nothing. I'm fine." said Annabeth, keeping her head low,not wanting to meet Percy's eyes. She got off the car and thanked Percy through the window. And before he could say anything, she ran into the house, leaving a very confused Percy behind
