Annabeth 

It has almost been almost a week since we figured out what Luke is trying to do. I try to stay around him, but it gets kind of awkward, the whole ex thing and all, I feel like I am just making it worse.

Lately, I have just been hanging around Piper and the gang. Percy and I have become really good friends. Just friends. I keep trying to convince him to not wear hoodies all the time, but he refuses, and I don't exactly know why.

Today is another one of the Savior's meets. I go over there and watch his meet. I seriously have NEVER seen him lose. I don't think he ever has. Afterward, I wait for him in the same spot I did last time.

"Annabeth?" The Savior calls from accross the room. 

The Savior's POV

(Simultaneous thoughts)

She looks up from her book, "Yeah,"

Ummmmmm....... Say something! Think! Think!

"You're still here?" I respond.

"Am I not supposed to?" Annabeth responds.

Yeesh. Awkward.

"No! No... no... I mean, I just didn't expect you to be back here after last time." I say.

Smoooooth. Am I using sarcasm? I don't know. What is wrong with me?

"How are you?" I ask.

Ok, progress. Keep it up.

"I am fine. You clearly aren't." She says back.

I...I...I...well, I...what?

"I...I...I...well, I...what?" I, say-crap. Did I say say that out loud?

"The people in the locker rooms. They keep beating you up, don't they?" Annabeth says.

"Wow, you are really good at noticing things." I comment, scratching at the finger shaped bruises along my neck.

"Yeah," Annabeth says. "I guess I have started paying more attention to things, since my... friend mentioned he does. I mean if he can do it, I should be able too, you know."

"Ouch," I say, "that burns....... for him, I mean."

Stray away from awkward..... Get away.... abort.... abort....

"So, how did you like the meet?" I ask, trying to change the topic.

"It was good... I mean, it was... I mean... you swam well." Annabeth stutters.

Aha! The tables have turned

"Thank you," I say.

"Have you ever lost a match?" She asks.

"Not yet. I hope to keep moving higher up and face bigger competitors, but so far, I have only been around the state." I said.

"Oh. Ok." Annabeth says.

"Well um.. bye." I say and give her a high five.

I turn around  and walk away.

Oof. That was awkward.

Sorry this chapter wasn't very good, and that it took so long to get. I promise the chapters will start getting better. 

Love,
