I walked towards the fountain in the courtyard outside the cabins. The water cascaded down the white stone, and I fished a drachma from my pocket, tossing it into the water. "Perseus Jackson at the South Shore," I said in a commanding tone. I knew Paul had taken him there to start off his summer vacation, and I wanted to wish Percy good luck before he went to raid the Princess Andromeda. I shivered as I remembered our journey in the sea of monsters and our encounter with the Princess Andromeda there. The water began to shimmer, and I could make out a bit of a picture. As it got clearer, my mouth dropped open.
Percy was sitting in the driver's seat of a prius, which was probably Paul's. I shook my head at that. Never let a demigod drive. Rachel Elizabeth Dare was sitting next to him, throwing her head back as she laughed. I raised my eyebrows. Great, so Percy is preparing for a big mission by flirting with Rachel, awesome, I thought. I hated to admit it, but I knew deep down that it really was the fact that he was spending all this time with Rachel that bothered me. Wasn't I important? Stop it Annabeth, I chided myself. You're his best friend and she's his almost girlfriend, two different things, I reminded myself. A bubble of anger boiled up inside of me. Percy Jackson was such a seaweed brain! Why did he have to be so oblivious to everything, and then do things that, because he is so oblivious, that break people in two! I grabbed the grass under my feet and squeezed. It came up in a clump and I stared at it before sighing and letting it drop to the ground. Annabeth, get a hold of yourself. You are a daughter of Athena, and it is not wise to go crazy over a boy. Focus on what is important, keep yourself under control. I lectured, taking multiple deep breaths. Just as I was beginning to calm down, I looked at the screen, ready to cut the connection, when Rachel reached over and gave Percy a kiss on the cheek. It was only a peck, but I freaked out, slashing my hand through the water to break the connection. I was breathing hard and my fists clenched and unclenched.
I walked back into my cabin, ignoring the stares of my cabin mates and changed into sweat pants and a t-shirt before sprinting out of the cabin. Running had a way of helping me calm down, and it exhausts me to the point where I don't have to worry about anything else. Ounce by ounce, I poured my anger into my steps. After running for about 30 minutes, I decided I needed to rest. I plopped down in the sand, defeated, realizing I had run to the beach, to Percy's favorite spot. I furiously wiped an escaped tear from my eye, trying to keep myself together and failing. Giving in, I rested my head on my knees and cried.
I know, not my best work, but be sure to check out my other stories; The girl of sparks was just updated.
I am thinking of writing another chapter where Marcus is watching Annabeth at the fountain. What do you guys think? Let me know. Thanks, and I hope you enjoyed it.
