"Move, Seaweed Brain! We're going to be late for school!" Annabeth yelled as she began jogging. Percy had taken a very long time to get up that morning, so now he and Annabeth had to run to the subway in order to arrive at school in a timely manner.

"I'm coming. I'm coming," Percy replied beginning to jog as well. After another couple minutes of jogging, the pair made it to an entrance to the underground and got on the subway as fast as they could.

It was a weekday, so, as usual, there was nowhere for Annabeth and Percy to sit down, but they didn't mind standing. They were only on the subway for a couple of stops.Once the two had found a place to stand, Annabeth let out a sigh of relief. She was still anxious about being late, but Goode was only a couple blocks from their stop.

Percy put his hand on his girlfriend's shoulder. "Relax, Annabeth. We still have plenty of time." He checked his watch. "The bell rings in ten minutes. We won't be late, and even if we are a couple minutes late, it's not a big deal."

"I know, but I still would rather be there on time," Annabeth remarked. "Besides, you can't risk getting detention today. You might have to miss the swim meet." Percy had been going to practice for a while, but this was going to be his first meet since he had gotten back to Goode.

"Speaking of the meet, will you be there to cheer us on?" He gave Annabeth puppy dog eyes.

"Of course I will be, dummy." Annabeth rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's question. "Thalia, Nico, Hazel, Will, Frank, Chloe, Rebekah, Jules, Max and I are all going to be there to cheer you and Tucker on. Besides, I've heard that Mr. Phillips gets really into meets. Apparently, it's hilarious."

Percy laughed. "Oh, it is. Trust me. It's the best part of the whole thing." He laughed again at the memories of his coach's antics.

"Look! It's about to be our stop," Annabeth interjected. Both she and Percy made sure they had all of their stuff, and got ready to leave once the doors opened.

When the train stopped, there was a mob of people waiting to get on. Usually, the custom was that whoever was exiting the train would go through the doorway first, but today it was so crowded that it became every man for himself. People pushed one another aside and it created chaos. Percy and Annabeth pushed through the crowd, and managed to get on the platform unharmed and without losing any of their belongings. The pair ran up the stairs and out onto the street.

They arrived at school slightly panting because they had decided to sprint the four long blocks from the subway to Goode.

Percy checked his watch again. "Yes!" He exclaimed. "We got here with two minutes to spare." He and Annabeth high fived on their way to their respective lockers.

"Why do you look like you just ran a mile?" Will asked Percy in homeroom.

Percy laughed. "I was a little late getting up this morning, so Annabeth made me run from my apartment to the subway and from the subway to here." He yawned, and stretched. "I'm still really sleepy, though."

"Wow! Percy Jackson is tired in homeroom? Shocking!" Will teased his friend. Percy was always tired on school mornings. He had even taken a ten minute nap in homeroom before.

Percy lightly swatted Will's shoulder. "I don't know what you're talking about! I'm always awake and alert during homeroom." They both laughed, and continued to talk until the first period bell rang.
