Percy POV
I took off my shirt and shoved it into my gym locker, I changed into sweat pants and left my torso bare. I walked out of the changing room and looked around the gym, Annabeth was supposed to be here any minute but I wanted to warm up. I walked over to the treadmill and ran a couple miles when I was tapped on the shoulder, "Hi." I turned off the treadmill and turned around, "Hey Wise Girl!" I said giving her a hug. We pulled back and I looked her up and down, admiring her body. She had a slim waist and a flat stomach with an intimidating six pack. She was wearing black Nike shorts and a matching black sports bra. I kissed her head, "How was school?" I asked, we went to different high schools but would go to college in Rome next year. "It was fun! We got to design whatever building we wanted in wood work class and we'll start making them tomorrow!" She said smiling, she looked me up and down and nodded to the empty mat we're we could fight. "Wanna spare?" She asked. "Yeah, of course!" I said flexing out my shoulders. We walked over to the mat and a group of girls walked in that seemed to bother Annabeth. She rolled her eyes, "Those are these bitches that think they own the place." She said and studied them. They all wore LuLu Lemon Leggings and oversized shirts. "Oh well, who gives a shit?" I said back. Annabeth shrugged, "Yeah, you're right." She said and grinned, "Ready to lose, Seaweed Brain?" I rolled my eyes, "As if!" I winked. We got into stance and I immediately punched first, trying to grab her by surprise. She expected it and counter stepped and got me in the side. I stumbled back, "That was luck." I said and threw another punch, she grabbed my wrist and sent it back towards me. "Woah." I said looking at her. She's gotten a lot stronger than last time I had sparred with her. She raised her eyebrows quickly, "Yeah Seaweed Brain, I wouldn't be so smug!" She said and stepped forward with her left foot, swinging her right hand towards my face. I knocked it away but she hit me in the stomach with her other fist. I coughed, "Wow Wise Girl!" I said and punched at her stomach, which she didn't expect and got hit. She grinned, "Didn't even feel it, idiot!" She said and did a pivot and hook punched my jaw. I cursed in ancient Greek, she was really good. "Any rules?" I asked, "No pulling hair." She said, "No kicking in the balls either." I added quickly. "Well, we'll see about that." She winked, "You better not-" I was cut off by a hand taking my wrist, I was flipped over and Annabeth was on top of me, elbow against my neck. "You should really stop talking so much when you fight." She said smiling. I rolled my eyes, "It's what I do! I talk!" I said back. She helped me up and glanced at the girls, they were laughing and pointing at Annabeth. She scowled, "What in Hades are they doing?" She asked to no one in particular. "I don't know what they could be making fun of, you're absolutely perfect." I said and kissed her cheek. "Oh, shut up." She said blushing. "What? It's true!" I defended himself. "Yeah, yeah believe what you want, I'm going to the bathroom, be back in a second." She said and walked to the bathroom. I sat down and pulled out my phone that a Hephaestus camper had made, it was monster proof. I felt and arm wrap around me, and knew it wasn't Annabeth's immediately. I pulled back, "Hi." I said bluntly. I saw one of the basic girls from the group that were the supposed "bitches." "Hi!" She said and smiled, "How are you doing?" She asked. "Good." I said back. "What's your name?" She asked and twirled her ponytail. "Percy Jackson." I replied and glanced at the bathroom. "Ooh! I love that name! I'm Mallory, but you can call me Mal!" She said and took my hand, I pulled back, "Oh, relax! It's not like that Annie girl is even worth your time! She's such a nerd!" She said rolling her eyes. "No she's not." I said simply. "Oh yes she is! You deserve a gorgeous girl, like me since you're so hot! Can I get your number?" She asked. "No, you can't-" I stood up and she stood up with me and rolled her eyes again. "Oh, come one! Annie doesn't have to know!" I balled my fists, "Her name is Annabeth, and she would as a matter of fact." She smiled sweetly, "Just come on! Give me your number!" She whined. "No." She sighed, "Please!" "No." "Plea-" I blinked and she was on the ground, a pissed off blonde on her chest, "He said no, Mal. Are you to stupid to know what that means? I wouldn't doubt it. Leave Percy alone." She said and got up, breathing deeply. Mallory got up and huffed, "Whatever, Annie!" And turned around. "Oh! Mal!" Annabeth said, "What?" Mallory replied turning back around. Annabeth slapped her, right in the face, hard. "Don't bother me either." She said and Mallory turned back around and pouted out of the gym. "Ugh, I hate the hate that girl-" I kissed her, and I smiled into the kiss, "That's was so bad ass Annabeth!" I grinned, she laughed. "I'm sick of her, she's so annoying. And then she hits on my boyfriend? Oh HADES no." She said. "Well, should we continue?" I asked grinning, she rolled her eyes and threw a punch at my face which i dodged, "Sure." She said. She dodged my fist and countered it with an elbow to the chest. My breath was knocked out of me and she took that opportunity to kick me in the side. Hey, just cause we would die for each other doesn't mean we'll go easy on each other in combat, especially Annabeth. I regained my strength and my fist made contact with her jaw, she cursed in greek. "Are you okay-" I said coming closer to her, she grabbed my wrist and spun me around and kicked me in the thigh. "Wow- So we're playing dirty." I said and pushed my hair back. She winked and I threw another punch at her which she dodged under and hooked her arms on my arm. She pulled herself around on it, doing some sort of gymnastics that ended with me on the ground. "What?..." I asked, she stuck her arm out and helped me up, kissed my cheek and said, "I've been doing gymnastics Seaweed Brain." Probably why she was so strong. "And working out, and boxing, and playing soccer, and-" I cut her off with a kiss, "Stop showing off." I said, she pushed me away and readied herself to fight again. I swung at her first and she dodged and elbowed me again in the chest. I countered and kicked her hip and she stumbled back. She put her tounge in the side of her mouth and threw a punch to my chest. I grabbed her wrist and side stepped, and flipped her onto the ground. She raised her eyebrows at me and rolled to the side and jumped up. I looked at her, "Surprise, surprise Seaweed Brain!" She said and kicked me in the stomach. I regained my balance and punch her in the face. Square in the face. "Oh- shit..." She said and touched where I had hit her. I stopped, "Are you-" "I'm good, keep going, just caught me off guard." She said grinning. I shrugged and put some space between us. She then did something completely unexpected and rolled on her shoulder and grabbed my legs, making me fall. "Damn- what?" I said and she got on top of me, one knee on either side of my torso. "Not this time Wise Girl." I said and grabbed her wrist. I flipped her onto her stomach and pinned her arms to her back, her head was tilted to the left and she was smiling. "Well, you finally beat me, 'bout time!" She said. "Oh, shut up!" I say and roll my eyes. I flip her back over and she sits up. I kiss her softly on the lips, and let my fingers glaze where I had punched her, a purple bruise was growing. She winced, "Ow.." I sighed, "Yeah, sorry about that, Wise Girl, didn't mean to hurt you to bad." I kissed the bruise. "Oh, I've been through worse, It's fine." I rolled my eyes, "Gods, believe me I know." I said and she laughed. She kissed me again and I helped her get up.
Annabeth came out of the locker room, her hair in a new pony tail that wasn't as messy, a sweat shirt, and jean shorts. I put my arm around her, "Wanna go eat somewhere?" She laughed, "Chinese again?" She asked. "Obviously!" I said back, she laughed again and rolled her eyes, "Sure." I kissed the side of her hair and whispered, "Love you." She kissed my cheek, "Love you too." Annabeth responded back.
                        Gods. I love this girl.
