Don't Wear Swim Trunks to a Party

I want to start this off with a deep apology to all my readers. I am so sorry for not being active the past few months. You guys are great and amazing and it made my heart soar to see that people were reading and liking my fanfic! I hope you all know how much your comments lifted my spirit :) Also just to clarify this chapter will definitely be teen and up so read at your own risk. 

Percy P.O.V.

When I climbed out of the pool after doing some laps I was expecting to be able to go back to my dorm and have a nice relaxing night in with my roommate Frank. Apparently my cousin had other plans.

Picking up my crappy flip phone while I simultaneously dried off with a towel I hear Thalia say into my ear, "Yo Perce, get down to the game room ASAP."

Now normally I wouldn't have a problem with this ordering around, but at the current moment I only had swim trunks on so ASAP wasn't going to be so fast. "Well I need to go back to my dorm and change into clothes first." I told Thalia .

"Why? Are you just getting done having sex with Rachel Dare?" Thalia asked with a smirk I could definitely hear through the phone.

I internally groaned from annoyance before replying, "You know I'm actually getting out of the pool, but I can set you up with Rachel if you'd like."

You see back when I was a young, new eyed freshman I had this massive crush on a girl in my grade named Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I mean I was totally gaga for her. One day I managed to work up the courage to ask her out and she said yes. Sounds pretty good, right? Well when our first kiss happened, Rachel decided to tell me after that she believes she is into girls and not boys. Even with this turn of events Thalia still won't stop teasing me about how much I liked her.

"Oh shut up Jackson. Just get down to the game room and don't bother changing. When I say ASAP I mean ASAP." Thalia replied coolly before hanging up on me.

"I guess I'm going to the game room then." I muttered somewhat bitterly to myself.

Luckily the game room wasn't too far away from the pool and took me only 10 minutes to get there.

Now let me tell you about the game room of Half-Blood High. In the center of it is a plush black area rug that feels like heaven on the bare feet. On this said rug are the comfiest leather couches and armchairs you could imagine. It gets even better when you factor in all the retro arcade games aligning the walls. I'm talking Pac Man, Space Invaders, Super Mario Bros, Frogger, and so much more.

The game room is like sacred ground and during her sophomore year, Thalia claimed it as hers. If you even want to step foot in it you pretty much need her permission.

Opening it's dark oak door I stepped into see not only Thalia, but most of my other friends too (including the infamous Rachel Dare). Although there was someone that I didn't recognize. Immediately I could only think of a princess after looking at this stranger. She was a rather tall girl, probably only a few inches shorter than me (and I'm 6'2) and she had these golden curls that swept down her back. All of a sudden I remembered that my only attire were my blue swim trunks.

Mystery Girl was talking amiably with my friend Leo, an incredible engineer and mechanic. Also, an incredible joker. Eyeing him and Mystery Girl I could see that they both gesticulated wildly, making their conversation look rather comical. 

"Now don't drool  all over my best friend." Thalia who crept up on me as quiet as a stalking cat, whispered in my ear.

I'll admit I was caught off guard that my staring was so blatant, but I recovered and said smoothly, "So that's the famous Annie."

Thalia laughed as if there was an inside joke, "Yea that's her."

"So she's the reason for this meeting?"
