"PEERRCCCYYYY, GET OFF ME" My friend Jared shouted, all my mortal friends stood around laughing, we were in the locker room of goode high and I had my arms wrapped around my friend and was carrying him,

"Sorry Jared mate, this is revenge, To the swimming pool" everyone cheered and we headed to the direction of the school swimming pool. "Percy come on bro, I barely did anything"

"You rigged a paint grenade in my locker, how is that nothing?"

"Come on there were only a few books in there man, I'll replace them if your calculus text book meant that much to you"

"And most of my pictures of me and Annabeth" I growled

"I'm sorry did it take you a long time to Photoshop her into those pictures?" so at my school it had been decided that Annabeth was definitely imaginary and all my pictures of her were taken off Google, it was pretty funny at first but it got pretty annoying pretty quickly, "You're still going in the pool Jared"

"Can you at least stop holding me, you're getting paint all over my decent hoodie" My turn to piss him off I smiled "Keeping clean for Sarah are we?" Jareds not so secret crush on my best mortal friend Sarah was the funniest thing ever, we constantly wound them both up about it, even my mum joined in whenever one was round the house. "Oh well fuck you man" Jared said, we'd finally got to the swimming pool "Lets clean you up" I yelled and threw him in, then I felt the full weight of Sarah Miller slammed me in the back of the legs, I went in, but fortunately she miscalculated and fell in with me, landing awkwardly on top on Jared to everybodys entertainment, I willed myself to get wet so people don't wander how I'd got dry so fast, naturally at that point the teacher walks in. And that's how me and Sarah ended up walking home after detention.

Line breaker

"Percy, can we have one conversation that does not involve Jared, Blue food, That camp you go to, or your imaginary girlfriend? Please?" we were walking home, dripping wet through new York. We got a few strange looks but hey, new Yorkers have seen stranger. "She's not imaginary!"

"I'll believe it when I meet her Percy, how's work going?"

"Just brilliant, I get to go home every day, smell like fries, covered in special sauce and some kids sick, Working in Maccy D's has never been better"

"Are you free later Perce? I think Dan Green was talking about having a bunch of people around"

"I don't know, me and Dan aren't exactly the best friends, especially since Drew won't leave me alone and he's desperately in love with her"

"He won't say anything, you're popular enough what with you being the captain of the swim team, and besides, you can't leave me alone with Jared, Darren and Casey"

"Won't Katie be there?"

Katie Gardner had recently joined our school because her family had moved to New York. She hung out with us at school, but she sent almost all her time outside of school with someone she constantly swore down wasn't Travis Stoll, we all knew it was a lie and she had never heard the end of it.

"Obviously not Percy, she's with that Travis kid we met the other week, convenient, we've met Travis, Katies 'not' boyfriend, where's your girlfriend for almost a year?" she grinned and winked at me.

I tried to think up a good response as I looked down the street, I saw the best response ever. The blonde princess curls and grey eyes ran down the street towards me and Sarah and I got almost tackled by a hug and a kiss, in my peripheral vision I saw Sarah starting wide eyed at us I smiled and turned around and said "here she is, see, I told you I wasn't good enough at Photoshop to make her up"

"Percy, who's this? And why are you dripping wet?" she looked at me suspiciously, I smiled to myself, Annabeth was jealous and I could kind of see why, she was completely stunning, not my type but stunning, she had long jet black hair down to her waist, a slim dancers body, but that's where it got lethal, Sarah didn't dance, she had the body of a mixed martial arts champion, often when boys hands got a little too adventurous at a party they ended up on the floor with someone calling an ambulance.

"This is my friend Sarah and it's a long story involving a paint grenade, a calculus text book, a picture of you, a swimming pool, a kid that's worryingly good with pyrotechnics and a girl who spends too much time being trained by the MMA equivalent of Mohammed Ali" I said, punching Sarah as hard as I could, she just laughed, my punches and kicks were on a tiny scale compared to hers.

"Sarah, this is my living and breathing wise-girl of a girlfriend, one of the only people I know that would give you a run for your money in a fight" Sarah heard this and grinned, "One day soon, we are definitely going to try that"

"Well at least you two get on, I think?" looking backwards and forwards between Sarah and Annabeth very confused, I just dismissed it as girl stuff, I suddenly realised we were at the door of Sarah's apartment. "Well I better go, dad will throw a fit if he comes home from work and I'm still dripping wet, see you later Percy, bring Annabeth along, it'll be fun"

"Bye Sarah" we chimed, Annabeth frowned at her as she went up the stairs, "What?" I asked

"Care to tell me why you were walking home late dripping wet and laughing with a girl who's hot enough to be a daughter of Aphrodite?" Annabeth frowned at me

"She's one of my best friends Annabeth, for one, I think of her more as a sister than anything else, secondly, if I did ever try anything I'd be on the floor and crying before you could say cheat"

Annabeth laughed and started walking turned around and said "come on seaweed brain, lets get you dry for tonight so you can prove to your friends that you don't have very good photoshop skills, and you can tell me all about the swimming pool incident" I laughed and started following her down the street. Dam I love my girlfriend.

What do ya think?, a little less depressing than my last story, please review, oh yeah and i don't own rick riodan
