Song: The Otherside by Jason Derulo

Book: Jake Reinvented by Gordan Korman because that's the book I'm reading right now. It's not on Wattpad, it's a real book.

Ugh... So I broke my backspace key and ugh. I need a new computer...

BUT! Here's a cool story!

I got to have a sword fight with legit swords! A friend of mine has some real swords so me and my friends had a 'fight' with them! It was awesome! I got to use a Roman sword, a samurai sword and a pirate looking one. He had about 12 and we got to look at all them. IT WAS SO FREAKING COOL!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"CADEN WAKE UPPPPPP!!!!!!!" Someone yelled in my ear. I bolted upright and my head smashed into something so I was forced back down.

"Gods you have a hard head," the same voice from before groaned but this time it was below me. I popped my head over the edge of the bed and saw Amy sitting up and rubbing her head.

'That's what you get for waking me up!' I signed to her.

"I didn't understand that but it doesn't matter! You'll be able to tell me soon!" She squealed. I laughed a little and covered my ears.

"Come on lets go! I want it to be lunch already!" She laughed and dragged me out of bed. I got up and put on skinny jeans and a black tank top with one of Nico's hoodies that ended up in my bedroom. I also put on some black converse and Amy curled my hair because 'I have really pretty hair and she wants to play with it.' (Her words, not mine)

Amy dragged me downstairs and everyone was already there. Drew sat on the couch putting on lipgloss, Nico and Percy were having an intense arm wrestling contest with the rest of the boys watching. Lindsey and Lauren sat on the far end of the couch having a quiet conversation among themselves.

I walked up behind Nico and kissed him on the cheek. He saw it was me and let Percy win then kissed me quivckly.

"Morning! Nice sweater!" He smiled. I smiled back at him and he walked away from Percy who was flexing his muscles all 'manly'.

"I let you win!" Nico called over his shoulder and Percy stopped what he was doing and stared at Nico.

"You wanna say that again, shrimpie?" Percy asked, a serious expression on his face but the twinkle in his eyes told us he was joking.

"I let you win," Nico smirked.

"Now you asked for it," Percy smiled evilly and started running at Nico. Nico immediately sped off and we were all running after them to watch how this turned out.

Nico ran out of the common room and down the hallway. Kids backed out of the way as we all ran passed them. Finally Nico tripped over some spilled books and went flying. He rolled out of it and onto his feet, pulling out his Stygian Iron sword as he stood. Percy clicked out Riptide and they circled each other, smiling the entire time.

While those two played 'Whos-more-Macho' the rest of us backed up the students so that no one would get hurt. Once everyone was backed up we turned around to watch the fight.

Nico went to take a swing and Percy ducked, narowly missing the black sword. Just as Percy went to take a swing I felt something was off. Unfortunately my suspicions were confirmed as a kid went pushing through the crowd and into the middle of the 'fight' yelling , "Whats going on here?!"

I reacted on instinct and dove between the two to tackle the kid out of the way. I felt a stinging going up my arm as I collided with the kid and we nboth went sprawling to the ground, me landing on top of him.

I heard the clashing of swords and I looked down at the kid I had just saved. I saw bleach blonde hair and green eyes. Of course it was him. Dragon? Drago? Draco! I let out a groan and he smirked.

"I knew you couldn't stay away," he smirked. I was about to punch him but some arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me off of him. I was set down beside Aaron and he shot me a warning look.

"Look at your arm," he muttered to me. I looked down and saw a long cut there. It started at my elbow and went all the way to my wrist. It was bleeding a lot so I quickly pulled the sweater off and was left I just my tank top. I was soon crowded by Amy, Nico, Lindsey, Lauryn, Andy and Percy. Drew was off flirting with some guy.

"Make way! Son of Apollo coming through to heal the injure- holy shi+! that's a lot of blood. That. Is. A LOT. Of. Blood," Jake said and turned away.

"Dude," Nico smirked, laughing at Jake's fear of blood.

"I'm cool. I'm cool. I just need a second," Jake muttered and held up a finger as if to say 'Wait-A-Second' then turned back to the group.

"Okay, I'm going to need a towel, some ambrosia or nectar, and maybe some pain killers," Jake ordered. Lindsey and Lauryn ran off to get what he needed and Jake turned to me.

"This might hurt," Jake muttered as he turned my arm so he could see the cut better.

Jake placed his hand on my cut and I winced, grabbing Nico's hand. I squeezed his hand hard as Jake started chanting under his breath. I felt a warm sensation flood over my arm and suddenly it started stinging. I squeezed Nico's hand harder and he winced.

"Hey babe?" Nico asked me quietly. I raised an eyebrow in response.

"Remind me never to pick a fight with you," he laughed a little.

I smiled and started laughing, shaking my head.

"You look really cute when you smile," Nico said quietly, pressing his forehead to mine. I smiled and kissed him quickly.

"Guys, you have an audience," Amy said quietly as we pulled apart. We both laughed quietly and Jake removed his hands.

"Done," He said tiredly. I looked down at my arm and saw that there was just a fading scar left. I hugged Jake and he wrapped his arms around me then set me down. I stepped back into Nico's arms and we all walked away from the wizards that were surrounding us. 

We ignored the whispers surrounding us as we walked away such as;

"Did you see that Jake kid heal her?"

"It was like her cut just disappeared."

"That was so cool!"

"Some of those guys are HOT!"

"I would totally date some of those girls if I could!" 

I could hear Amy laughing behind me the entire time as Jake told her funny jokes. Drew would wink at passing guys and Lindsey and Lauryn were having a quiet conversation while the rest of them just talked about random stuff.

 "Hey Caden?" Percy asked while coming up behind me. I turned to look at him and he gave me a sheepish smile.

"I'm really sorry. I just kinda swung. I didn't really think that a kid would get in the way and that you would jump in front of us. Anyways I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm really sorry," He stammered.

I smiled at him and signed that he was forgiven. He smiled and hugged me then stepped back. 

"Thanks kid!" He said and ruffled my hair. My jaw dropped and I glared at him. He knows how much I hate having my hair ruffled. Plus, I'm only like, three years younger than him.

Anyways, he saw the look I was giving him and he smirked, turned on his heel and ran off. I was after him in an instant and he flew down the stairs into the main entrance. 

I took a risk and jumped at him as he went down the last step. I landed on top of him and we rolled a bit until I landed on top. I pulled out my iPhone and clicked both volume buttons at the same time. Instantly my sword was out and at his throat.

"I may have underestimated you, kiddo!" Percy laughed. I glared at him and when we heard a familiar voice, I stopped.

"WHAT THE HADES IS GOING ON HERE!?" 

Percy and I both looked up and smiled.

"Hey Annabeth," Percy said.
