Luke gave Percy a pair of basketball shoes that he had received from his father.
Luke came running up the hill, carrying a pair of bas-ketball shoes.
"Hey!" he panted. "Glad I caught you."
Annabeth blushed, the way she always did when Luke was around.
"Just wanted to say good luck," Luke told me. "And I thought ... um, maybe you could use these."
