It was a new day. Annabeth checked her account . There was a new update from trident. It was called time.

       Exerpt
What exactly is time? Is it the hands of the clock that keep moving forward without us noticing? Is it the passing of the day or the weathering of objects? Do we acknowledge time? Yes, in a a sense we do celebrate it with birthdays , anniversaries and memoirs.  But are we aware of it's power. How helpless we are against the passage of time. We cannot change even one second of the past or predict one second of the future yet we call our selves mighty. .... Time is an entity which reminds us of the powerlessness of humans.....

                   In class the same morning...

               Annabeth  absently stared at the hands of the clock. For once she was not paying attention to the teacher. Trident seemed to be in a pensive mood that day.
Time was not powerful , right? She didn't know.

          "Now for the project on historical sites , I'll be paring you guys" her history teacher said. Then he proceeded to write the parings on the board. She was with Percy jackson. .. Not a surprise there.  She groaned softly. Most probably he would make her do all the work. She felt really irritated..

The bell rang . She was just getting out of class when a jock snidely remarked" The two losers-the nerd and the loner paired together... How nice! At least you both wont be annoying anyone else with your wretched existance"

        His friends , the popular cliche laughed at her. The rest of the class just gave her looks of pity. She kept silent and hugged her books closer to her chest.

           "Oh leave her alone Dan. It's me you have a problem with..... not her. "Percy drawled lazily. He then stood up and walked towards Dan. He was quite tall and those sea green eyes were swirling. "Anyway that girl's much smarter and not a bag of hot air, unlike you". He smirked and walked away. Dan was fuming and she could almost see the fumes coming from his ears."We'll see about that Jackson "he growled. Percy just smiled. As he walked past her he leaned down a bit and whispered in her ear"I'll see you at your usual haunt 'kay? " he said and sauntered away....

At the library......
            
Annabeth was leafing through a book on Greece . She wanted to do her project on the pantheon. Suddenly Percy came inside.

   "Hi " he said"So about the project , can we finish it in the library or at your house or mine?"

        Annabeth stared at him ."So
you'll really help me with the project?"she asked incredulously.
He scratched the back of his neck. "That's what being partners means, right?"

      "well" Annabeth said" almost every one expects me to do.the entire thing by myself so forgive me if I am a little unbelieving"

      He just smiled "well can we do something related to Greece as I kinda have a little craze about that place"

         Annabeth smiled . Maybe he was a member of the site too . "How does the pantheon sound"she asked

"Great " he said " So we'll start the work tomorrow right?same place,same time."

           "Hey, thanks for standing up for me there. "she said.

        He just shrugged. "It's nothing. Anyway hey's for horses and not for me" he said with a devilish smile.

     She facepalmed herself" And here I thought you changed. You're the same insufferable jerk as usual huh?" she said. "I aim to please madam." came the reply. "Now if you'll stop your bickering I'll be on my way." He bowed mockingly and left.

          Annabeth huffed. But she still had a true of a smile on her lips. Percy Jackson mightnot be as cool as Trident but he was not as bad a person as she had thought.....

              At her home.....

      She lay on her bed browsing through the stories. Suddenly her phone began to ring.
     "Hello, who is it?"

      "Oh Annabeth ,have you forgotten me already?"She smiled. It was Piper. A hyperactive kid who she studied with in middleschool. They went to different high schools but still hung out together. "What is it Pipes" she asked.

     "Well, Jason and I are going to watch a movie tomorrow and he invited his cousin along. Can you please please please come with us too?"She said

        "Well it depends.Is Jason's
            friend a jerk and I swear that if you try to set me up on any more blind dates I'll "

        Piper interrupted her"No Annie. I swear it's not a blind date and Jason's friend is a nice guy. Anyway we're seeing that romantic comedy you wanted to watch. So are you in?" she asked.  "Okay " Annabeth sighed. She put the phone away from her ear to prevent getting temporary deafness from Piper's squeal. They spent an hour talking about trivial things and finally Annabeth went to sleep. She couldn't message Trident that day ."Ah,There's always tomorrow"she said as her eyes slowly closed and she drifted away to Morphesus realm...
