Well hello all my book nerds, I am not dead if you are wondering. Finally I took my last Final yesterday and school's over, so now I am officially a sophomore, I feel on top of the world, and I also got my Learner's Permit, so now I am free to go anywhere, as long as there is a person with a driver's license so not exactly entirely free.

So now that school is done, I will probably try to finish this story out this summer and start a new one since for the majority of the summer, I will be doing, cheer camp and conditioning, and my body will be sore.

Sorry to bore you with this author's note I just wanted to inform you all with what was happening in my life.

Now on with the story...

Disclaimer: I Do not own any of the Percy Jackson characters only the plot of this fanfic

Annabeth's POV

I rummaged through my drawers in my dorm room in frantic looking for the perfect beach outfit. Usually I'm not a girl who worry's about what she's going to wear because a majority of my clothes consist of blacks, and whites, and grays, along with lots of leather, and combat boots, yeah so I don't worry about fashion.

Although, today I will make an exception, because I am going out with Percy Jackson.

No matter how hard try to get him out of my mind, and now I know that it's a crush. Even though I've been here for at least a week he has been on my mind, ugh, it's frustrating because I am not one of those girls who obsesses over a crush or even has a crush, so this is new to me.

Just as I was going through one of my other drawers, my room door received a knock. Gosh why can't these people leave me alone, can't they see I'm going through a crisis.

Oh my goodness, what is going on with me!

I stood up from where I was on the floor, and went to go answer my door, and there was Thalia in all her punk Goth glory, smirking.

"Ugh what do you want I'm busy." I said and leaned my body against the door frame.

"I'm here to help. A little birdy told me that you have a date with a certain fish boy." She said as she invited herself into my room.

"Percy told you, didn't he, I didn't think you guys really conversed with each other." I said and it was true, I barely saw them talk usually it was just the nod of the head towards each other in the hallways.

"Oh no, Piper told she overheard you guys in the hallway." Thalia said and I rolled my eyes.

"Way to throw me under bus Thals." A voice said, and slightly turned my head and was met with the sheepish face of Piper.

"So you were eavesdropping?" I said and raised an eyebrow at her.

She gave me a sheepish grin, her face flushing a pale red or embarrassment. "Well I couldn't help but overhear, you guys are my OTP right now."

I rolled my eyes but let her in anyway.

"Whoa mama, what the hell happened in here, looks like a tornado went through here." Piper said as she turned around examining the mess I made in my room.

"I was looking for something nice to wear to the beach with Percy, and before you jump to conclusions it is not a date first of all we're just hanging out as FRIENDS." I said putting the emphasizes on friends.

"Well it's a good thing I'm here, we all know Thalia has no fashion sense what so ever." Piper said, which earned her a smack on the head from Thalia.

"Lets get to work now." Piper said and begin going through my already scattered clothes.

- LINE BREAK -

Finally we were done choosing my outfit, I thought it would be simple with Piper here, but it was even worse. I know she's not a girly clearly, but she knows so much about fashion especially girly clothes which she basically assaulted me to wear. After so much arguments, and clothes flying everywhere, I had to remind Piper we just hanging out as friends, and when that didn't work I kicked her out and just picked some random clothes of the floor and change into them. So basically I finally picked what to wear.

I picked out an old orange muscle tee with faded words I couldn't make out that showed the showed the sides of my bra so I wore a black bandeau. Along with that I wore a pair black shorts that came mid-thigh, and some black leather sandals. I simply threw my hair into a ponytail, and added some waterproof mascara.

I grabbed my phone, and put it into my back pocket of my shorts, and I was done. I grabbed my dorm rom keys but not before shutting off all the lights because Thalia fell asleep on my bed, and she sleeps like a rock.

I locked the door quietly, and made my way towards the front of the school, where Percy said to meet him. Once I reached the area I saw Percy and I couldn't help but smile just a little.

"Hey Percy, ready to go?" I said as I reached him causing him to jump in fright and turn quickly towards me.

"Oh hey Annabeth, you scared me." He said as his face blushed a tiny bit.

"Sorry, well next time you should be more aware of your surroundings." I said and smirked at him.

"Whatever, lets go." He said and we began our journey towards the beach.

As we were working I took time to take in what he was wearing, and I was surprised at the similarity between our outfits. He had on a orange faded muscle tee, which was sleeveless, but you can clearly tell they were cut by an amateur. He was wearing black board shorts, and some black beach flip flops.

"Hey we match." I said to him causing him to stop and look at my outfit before looking at his.

"We sure do, were you stalking me?" He asked giving me serious look, but you could see the humor underneath.

"Oh please if anyone was stalking anyone it was you stalking me." I said nudging his side with my elbow.

"Okay Wise Girl whatever, we have reached the beach though." He said and I looked realizing just how much walking we did.

"That was quick." I said and we began walking through the sand. It was crowded today because the weekend was starting up, so more kids here.

Percy and I talked and laughed while we were at the beach, and even played volleyball with some other teenagers that were hanging around the beach. We had ice cream and slushy's and overall it was nice hanging out with Percy.

Right now we were sitting on the sand with our feet in the water, we had fifteen more minutes before we had to head back to school, and I wished this day wouldn't end.

"So did you have fun?" Percy asked.

"Definitely, we should do this again sometimes with our friends too." I said.

"Yeah we should." He said and glanced at me. We stared into each other's eyes, it was like it was just us as the world around us faded into oblivion. I leaned into him, just as he did the same, my eyes slowly shut, and just as our lips were about to meet, a volleyball bounced right between us making us jump away from each other.

"Uh.. we should head back to school now I guess." Percy said nervously scratching his head, his tanned skin blushing a bright red.

"Uh yeah, yeah , uh.. lets head back." I said and we began the trek home, only this time more awkward.

Stupid volleyball!

So how did you guys like, I know it's suckish right now but I really wanted to give ou guys something to read since I've been such a crappy writer.

Here's a little Percabeth action, and the almost kiss, what did you all think about that, thought I would let Percabeth happen right away, no I want to keep you guys waiting.

The next update will be next week Friday, because I'll be in D.C for a week, and I use my brother's laptop and he won't let me bring it with me so no update.

Thank you all fro sticking with me threw this story.
