this was a headcannon found on pinterest. I don't know who made it, but it wasn't me.

Annabeth plopped into a seat next to another random girl. The almost leathery seats of the school bus were covered in lumps, but that didn't dull Annabeth's excitment. They hadn't had a fieldtrip in ages. Annabeth hadn't had one since--when was it? sixth grade when she got kicked out of the tour because she kept correcting the tour guide? She couldn't remember.
Not to mention it was to a museum completely dedicated to the contruction of the golden gate bridge that Annabeth hadn't even known exsisited. She couldn't help herself. She began squirming excitedly in her seat.
         The brunette pulled out her earbuds and gave Annabeth a look."Can you not?"
          Annabeth attempted to still herself as not to annoy the mortal next to her, but all of attempts failed. Thinking about it obviously only made it worse."Sorry, It's sort of just how I am. If I can find another seat, I'll move there as soon as possible."
           The girl muttered a few incomprehensible comments under her breath and sighed. She slipped her earbuds back into her ears and leaned against the window.
         
           The tour guide had Annabeth captivated. He spoke with just the right amount of pauses and just the right tone. He consistently had the class take polls and guess various things. That, and he knew what he was talking about.
            A phone went off, and with a jump, Annabeth realized it was hers. She checked the caller ID of her phone(Not a monster proof one. Those are invented after this event). A picture someone had taken of Annabeth jumping on Percy's back. Annabeth locked her gaze with her favorite teacher."May I--"
         "Sure. But be right back."
          Annabeth pressed recieve and ducked behind a corner. She pressed the phone to her ear,"Percy, you know I'm in class--"
           Percy interrupted her in heavy pants,"Stabbed by--thing--ribcage--help?"
           Panic overwhelmed Annabeth."Can you describe the monster?"
         "Winged. shot feathers like a manticore shoots spikes.Dead now."
           "What did you do to Ares this time?"Annabeth demanded.
          "Phobios... help?"Percy panted.
          "Take out the feather and apply pressure! Yell for medical help! Even a mortal hospital!"Annabeth recommended."Those feathers are designed to make their victims die of blood loss so it's a more painful and gory death. Stop the freaking bleeding! Is there anyone with you? Don't you have ambrosia?"
            "Attacked--walking- to--next class."
             Annabeth shook despite herself"Percy slow your breathing! You're in shock, but your heart is pumping extra out of your body when you breathe shallow! You are not gonna kill a titan and walk through the pit to die by a freaking guardian!"
            "It seems like an--ironic fate--"
           Annabeth interuppted Percy,"You are not giving up. Steady breathing. Don't you have ambrosia?"
            "I was in gym. I had no pockets."
            "Well, scream for help now. I'll try to IM camp.  I want to hear you scream through this phone."Annabeth shook slightly as she dug a prism and a drachma out of her jeans pocket.
               Annabeth managed to make a small rainbow, but it would be enough. She whispered the chant used to summon Fleecy for time's sake.
                Chiron looked up from archery and paled at the sight of Annabeth'a condition."What--"
                "Percy was leaving gym class and got attacked by... Ares' guardians...I can't recall them for some reason, but, he got hit and now... He called me while I was at a field trip. Monsters will know he's there and..."
                "Where is he?"
                 Annabeth turned back to her phone."Percy? Where are you?"
                  "Alley behind Goode."
Chiron turned to the Apollo cabin shooting a few yards away."We need healers at Percy Jackson's school. Take Blackjack. Ares sent his guardians."
                   Will cursed,"Oh frick! I need Nico!"
                 Nico appeared right next to Will."Yeah?"
                   "Goode. Now."Will ordered.
                  Without question Nico hooked his arm around his boyfriend's and vanished.
                     Annabeth turned back to her phone."Percy, Will is shadow traveling. Yell for them! Don't stop! They should be close!"
                     "Annabeth... I--I,"Percy sounded hoarse, and when he coughed, Annabeth heard splatter."Are you coughing up blood? Put me on speaker and I'll yell! I'm never going to let you die! I love you and you are going to stay with me."
                 Voices came on the phone. The was a scape of the phone being picked up off of asphalt."We're here. But it's a lot of blood."Nico reported.
                   Annabeth could hear Will's questions to Percy, but Percy was no longer able to respond. Will started questioning Annabeth instead while apparently trying to clot Percy's blood."How long ago was he hit?"
                 Annabeth checked her call time. 8 minutes. Had it only been 8?"8 minutes."
                Panic clutched Annabeth's throat."Oh gods Will, don't let him die! He-- he doesn't deserve it. Please, please. I-- I couldn't live without him. I don't know what to do." Annabeth was no longer able to hold back a sob. It all jist came pouring out. She fell to the floor and buried her head in her knees, accidentally ending the Iris message.
                "Oh gods is she crying--"
                "Don't distract the doctor!"
                  Nico's voice came on the phone"Annabeth, as the son of Hades I can tell when people have reached the end, but Percy hasn't yet. I know Will is going to save him. If that's not enough for you, I don't know what is. Now Percy's life is on the line so get yourself together! Let me tell you that you did something right. Considering the circumstances, there is a small blood pool around Percy. "
          Annabeth forced a few deep breaths,"I know, I know, it's just... I've lost him once-- no, twice.  I was starting to think that--"Tears started dripping down Annabeth'a cheeks again."I can only lose him so many times before--"
           "And you know what? You are not going to lose him again. He knows that if he gives up, it will break everything he's fought for. He'll also never meet his little sister if he stops. Now, do you know why it hasn't clotted."
           "It's Ares. He wants his victims to bleed out."Annabeth explained.
           Will let out a string of creative curses,"Those guys?! Nico, grab me some water, needle and some sort of thread. I'll need antibiotics too."
           The phone dropped to the ground. There was a small crack that Annabeth could recognize as someone shadow traveling back."
            Will sang a hymn to Apollo as Nico relayed to Annabeth what was happening."He's stitching him up because it seems whatever cut him is big."
            Something clicked in Annabeth's mind."Pour water on the wound!"
            Will finished his chant,"What?"
             Nico knew,"He's the son of Poseidon. Water helps him heal. Has no one told you that?"
             "No but that actually sounds really interesting."Will admitted. there was a chug of water."The bleeding has stopped."
              Annabeth let out a sigh of relief. She managed a small smile and relaxed against the wall."Thank the gods. Just make sure he gets a drink and--"
              Nico forced a laugh,"Will's gonna watch over his eating habits like kid watching a movie."
               Annabeth chuckled."I-I guess I have a field trip to get back to. If you guys accidentally kill him, You're going to meet Hades sooner than you planned."
             Mr.Blake, the teacher who had given Annabeth permission to leave the tour rounded the corner and was startled at his student's condition."Are you okay Annabeth?"
              Annabeth nodded,"Bye guys. Teacher's here."
               The three voices chorused out,"Bye," before both lines hung up.
              "Annabeth, are you okay? Do you need any assistance?"Mr.Blake offered again.
                "I'm fine. I was just worried for a little?"
                 "Who got attacked?Mr.Blake asked suddenly.
                  Annabeth jumped in surprise until she noticed a leather cord sticking out from behind Mr.Blake's Plaid shirt."I-I didn't realize you were--".
                   "I'm cautious. I haven't seen camp since you, Luke, and the tree girl came. Hermes."
                    "Athena. My, my boyfriend got attacked pretty much during school. You might've heard of him. he's been in two great prophecies. Percy Jackson?"
                   "Never heard of him."Mr. Blake shrugged.
                  "In that case, you need to visit soon before Apollo gets the oracle back. Ten bucks says he's in the next great prophecy."Annabeth laughed to herself."He's okay though. Will, Apollo and Nico, Hades just saved his life. I'm gonna hug the senses out of those two."
                 "Hades? He broke the oath?"
                  Annabeth laughed."He was the only one who didn't! You need to catch up. You probably don't even know about the seven, or the giants, the romans, or Kronos. Or even about Rachel."
                   "I guess I do not. I just came over here because it's time to leave--"
                  Annabeth nodded, suddenly aware of her wet face and puffy eyes. She really couldn't do anything about that, but a part of her wanted to hide in the bathroom until everyone was gone. Instead, she stood right back up and joined the class, ignoring all of the stares in her direction.
               
                As everyone was curious why the new girl had cried, Annabeth had many seating options.
