{Percy}

I took a deep breath and walked onto Thalia's floor. It was the 399th floor. I looked around... our was more luxurious. More space. I knocked on Thalia's door. She immediately opened.

"I'm for real bored." She said before I could even greet her.

I walked in, and let the door shut behind me. It was Thalia's style- dark blue walls- the bed was black, and it was punk-ish.

Punk music blared from a speaker. A huge TV was in the corner. A desk that was full of Thalia's stuff sat shoved off to the right corner. I think Thal's must've moved it.

"Pretty luxurious, eh?" She asked.

"You haven't seen our floor yet, have you?" I asked.

"No, why?" She asked. Over in the corner below the TV (it was a wall TV) there was a bunch of cubbies with clothes, and at the bottom one had an iPad, one an iPod, one a iPhone, and another had a Mac. I think they were originally on the desk, but Thalia did some moving.

"Cool room," I said.

"Yeah." She smirked. "My style."

"Yeah, all of ours are... Pretty cool. Our style. Why don't you have a closet?" I asked, looking around.

"I have the cubbies." She said. "I hate closets."

"Uhh... Why?" I asked.

"I don't know, I just do? You gotta problem?" She joked.

"Yeah," I laugh. "I think Annabeth's coming."

"Hey, Perce?" She asked, pretty serious.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I know this is gonna sound weird... But have you and Annabeth..." She started smirking.

"Ew, no." I say. "My mom and her mom would not approve of that."

"Ha," Thalia at first laughed only a bit, and then started literally rolling on the floor, clutching her stomach. My eyes darted around like, WTF? and then she wheezed. "I... Picturing... You and Annie... Doin... That... In front of.... POSEIDON AND ATHENA..." Then she kept laughing uncontrollably.

"Shut up, Thalia..." I looked around uncomfortably and then Annabeth opening the door saved me.

Seeing Thalia sprawled on the floor starts led Annabeth.

"What the Hades?!" She asked.

"A joke..." I glare at Thalia and she calms herself slightly. In a few seconds she got herself together and got up, still giggling.

"What joke?" Annabeth said.

Thalia laughed and said. "Well I was picturing you and-"

"Thalia." I said, shooting her a glare that said, SHUT UP OR DIE.

"What?" Annabeth laughed.

"Nothing, Wise Girl," I say. I know she hated not knowing, but...

"Ok," she said, this time looking fine with not knowing.

Thank Zeus.

I smiled back at her, and Thalia plopped down on her bed and changed the TV channel.

I was glad she was having fun. Being a hunter of Artemis, she wouldn't be able to enjoy what Annabeth and I had.

Annabeth sat down beside Thalia and I sat beside Annabeth. I held her hand as we sat there. Thalia stopped at CSI, and started watching that.

"Ugh!" She said. This was an episode about a woman being captured by a man. "What men can do! They're so ugly and mean! They're-"

"Thalia, speaking as a man, I take that offensive." I say.

"You know I didn't mean you," she sighed.

"Phoebe is rubbing off on you already," I grin.

"All of us rub off on each other, Percy," she rolled her eyes.

I laugh, and then kiss Annabeth. I don't know why, I just wanted to.

"It's like a romance novel I'm living in," Thalia said with fake disgust.

"You're a bad actresses," I grin. "You love seeing Annabeth and I together."

"Maybe I do," Thalia grinned. "Annabeth's wish came true."

"What?" I asked.

Thalia smiled. "When we were at camp- before be whole Titans curse thing, we would sneak out of our cabins and chill around camp. One day there was a shooting star, and I told Annabeth to make a wish. That night she told me what her wish was, and that she'd liked you all along."

"I didn't know," I say defensively.

"You liked her too, you just didn't know it..." Thalia smirked.

"Ok, ok, ok," I shrug. "I might've been interested..."

Annabeth playfully shoved me, and I smiled.

"A little? Look at you two now!" Thalia said.

I looked at Annabeth. Her eyes sparkling. An understanding passed between us. Time to tease Thalia.

I put my lips on hers.

"Ew, ew..." She said, covering her eyes. I started laughing mid-kiss.

Annabeth did too, and we broke away.

"Gosh, Hunter here..." She sighed.

"We know," Annabeth and I said at the same time.

"It doesn't bother you, does it?" I asked. She shrugged. I smirked. "Because you're going to see a lot more of that before the school years over."

"Umm..." Thalia pointed to her door.

I grinned, stood up, and walked out of the room with Annabeth.

Before I left, I yelled over my shoulder, "Go find yourself a guy!" To Thalia. She made a face.

I walked into my room and plopped down on my bed. Annabeth had gone to her room.

I walked to my closet and pulled out a cardboard box full of notes and envelopes. A little thing me and Annabeth always do.

I pick up the one on the top. She left me this one when we had first started dating. Why did I keep it on top? I dot know. Maybe it's because it was the first one. Or maybe it was because it resembled the beginning of or relationship. Or maybe it was it was my favorite. I always kept it on top, though. That's all the matters. I unfolded the blue note, and read it.

When you call me cute it's nice
When you call me hot it's great
But when you call me yours
Its all I want
Love,
Annabeth

I put the note back in the box.

And picked up the next one.

Crabs are red,
The ocean is blue,
You're my seaweed brain,
I love you
-Annabeth

I grin at the rhyme, the poem itself was cute.

I felt somebody watching me and looked at the door.

There stood Annabeth, smiling at me. I sat on the floor watching her.

"When you call me cute it's nice, when you call me hot it's great, but to call me yours it's all I want." I say. "Love, Annabeth."

She took a moment to reply. But when she did, it was with disbelief and happiness. "You memorized it," she said.

"Of course," I say. "Because one minute you could be here, and the next you could be gone."

She smiled, walked across the hall to her room, opening the door, and letting it shut. Just then my room door shut, leaving me staring at my wooden door.

I bit my lip, and put the lid on the box. I slid it back in the closet.

Wednesday was almost over. It was 5:00 pm.

What's gonna happen when school starts back?

Here's 3 hints: Drama. Mean. And something tragic.
