{Annabeth's POV}
I hadn't had a Tartarus nightmare in a while, but since school started, I've been having Tartarus nightmares over again.

My eyes stung with sweat and tears. Most of the time, my Tartarus nightmares change from what really happened. But they always feel so real.

I ran into the doors, but Percy didn't come in with me. "Percy?" I ask. "Annabeth, I have to stay here and hold the button. So you can live," he says. I cry harder. "No! Percy!" I yell. He kisses me. "I'm sorry Annabeth. I love you," he says, and shoves the door closed. "NO! NO! PERCY! NO!" I yell, and I bang on the doors. "PERCY NO!"

{Percy's POV}

I heard screams. It's Annabeth again.

I run to the intercom that Leo installed. "Nobody panic, it's Annabeth again. I'll handle it. Nobody go in there, she punches."

I run into Annabeth's room. "PERCY NO! DON'T DO IT! PLEASE!" she's yelling. I start to cry a little, whatever she's dreaming about, it's about me, and I did something that scared her. I ran over. I touched her arm. It's freezing cold.

I scoop her into a hug. "Shh...Annabeth, we're not there. We're safe," I kept comforting her. Her eyes shot open. 

"P-Percy?" she sobbed. I hugged her tighter. She cried into my shirt. "Do you wanna talk about what happened?" I asked. She nods. "Y-you didn't c-c-come with me t-to the doors. Y-you cl...closed the doors in-instead..." she sobbed.

I didn't want to tell her that I'd come close to doing so. I almost had. If Bob didn't come along...

Bob.

Annabeth must've read my mind because she opened her window by her bed. "Bob says hi," she whispered. She came back and cried into my shirt again. "We won't ever be going back," I whispered. She nods and snuggles into me. I kissed her forehead, and we were asleep quickly.

{Annabeth's POV}
I was sitting in English on Monday, and of course, Dallas decided to sit next to me. "Hey, Annie," he said. "It's Annabeth," I respond, not even looking up at him. "Yeah okay. So, I wanted to-" before he could finish, Percy came and sat next to me. "Hey, Wise Girl," he smiled. 

Dallas coughed for attention. "So, uh, Annabeth. I wanted to talk about our Greek Project. I thought maybe we could do it on Tartarus, which is like-" he didn't finish. My vision tunneled and I was back there, cursed by the arai. I couldn't see Percy. 

{Percy's POV}

He didn't just do that.

Annabeth's eyes glossed over, and she started to scream and cry. Everyone stared at her. I held her in my arms. I looked at Paul.

"Go ahead," he said. "Thank you, Paul," I said, and I bring Annabeth away from the class. 

...

I'm sitting in the closet next to Paul's class. I can hear Paul explaining why Annabeth is crying. "They've gone through something very traumatizing last year, and apparently, Dallas Fay thought it'd be funny to bring something up that hurt her," he explained. I smiled, knowing Dallas was getting death stares from our other friends.

She cried on my shoulder. "I can't believe he just did that," she tried to laugh. "Another reason why he's a jerk."

But of course, that's not all that happened.

{Piper's POV}

The girls and I were walking in the hallway, comforting Annabeth and talking about a fundraiser the school was doing: Un-Pollute the Earth. There was a talent show happening for it.

"I mean, I'm all for the safety of ecosystems and animals, but-" Hazel said. "You know."

We all nod. "I'm still going to do the show. I guess it will help other ones. Like water and sky not just-" I started, but I stopped when the last person we wanted to see right now showed up.

{Dallas's POV}

I needed to get Annabeth to not be mad at me anymore. I also needed her to discuss this Greek project with me, so that she'll fall in love with me.

I saw her with her friends in the hallway, talking about the Un-Pollute the Earth Talent Show.

"Hey! Annabeth! Since you like the earth so much, maybe we can do a report on Gaea. 'Cause, uh, Go Earth!" I said, but then remembering that she's Greek. "I mean Gaea! Go Gaea!"

I have never seen eight girls so mad in my life.

{Clarisse's POV}

HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!

Annabeth shoved him out of the way. I punched him in the nose. Katie, Reyna, Hazel, and Calypso gave him death glares and followed Annabeth. Thalia kicked him in the gut, and Piper slapped him across the face. "Maybe it's time you found a new Greek partner," Piper snapped, and strutted away.

And yet, we still couldn't escape drama. Kianna and her gang showed up.

"Oh, look who it is! It's the crybaby herself, Annabeth," Kianna snickered. "Leave us alone, Kianna," Calypso sneered. "Ha! In your dreams. Speaking of dreams, I've heard you've been having ones that cause you to scream, in the middle of class. I thought you were smart," Kianna laughed at Annabeth. "What was the word again? Oh yeah, TARTARUS."

SHE DID NOT JUST DO THAT!
Oh Gods, she was about to get it.

Annabeth fell on the floor and started to scream and cry. Thalia shoved Kianna against the lockers and started to yell some swear words at her.

Why aren't we better friends?

I picked up my phone. Percy had P.E. right now, and was probably outside. So he probably couldn't hear her. I called Percy.

"PERCY GET YOUR A** OVER HERE! KIANNA SCARED ANNABETH WITH TARTARUS!" I yelled into my phone. Percy hung up immediately, and two seconds later, he was here. 

"EVERY GIRL WHO SCARED ANNABETH, YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!" Percy yelled, and before I knew it, it was over, and Kianna was in detention.
