I don't own PJO

Annabeth's POV

I went into my cabin and groaned. Ever since that kiss last summer, I have been spending more time with Percy. But sadly, he hasn't asked me out yet. Which is totally fine with me, but I'm just worried that maybe the kiss meant nothing.

I know I shouldn't be acting like this. As a daughter of Athena, I shouldn't act all love sick. It's creepy. But I couldn't help it.

" Annabeth!", I heard someone scream. I turned around and found Thalia running inside.

" What?", I asked.

" It's time for dinner! Hurry up!"

I sighed annoyed. I wanted to rest. I just finished with my practice.

I went in line and grabbed my food. " Hi mom. Well.. Er.. Thanks for everything. Please help me figure things out."

I was never that good at praying to my mom. You might think that with praying to her almost all my life I would be used to it by now, but sadly now. It was kind of.. Awkward.

I sat on the Athena table and ate slowly. I started to feel eyes on my back. I slowly turned around and found Percy looking at me. He waved and looked down while blushing. I found myself blushing as well.

I turned around and saw my siblings looking at me.

" Eat!", I yelled. They shrugged and kept on eating.

" Everyone!", I heard Chiron yell.

The pavilion suddenly turned quiet.

" Alright. After everyone is finished, I want you to get ready for our game of Capture the Flag!"

I heard the Ares cabin cheer and laugh. No way were they going to win this time. We would surely beat them.

I finished quickly and ran to my cabin. I grabbed my armor and knife and headed out the door. I found most of the camp getting ready and making plans.

The red team this time was: Ares, Hades, Demeter, and Aphrodite.

Blue team was: Poseidon, Athena, Hermes, and Apollo.

I had a feeling we would surely win.

There was suddenly a ring and everyone got ready. Go!, I heard someone scream.

Swords clashed with swords. I found Clarisse fighting with Percy. Idiot SeaweedBrain.

" Going anywhere, Annabeth?", asked an Ares kid.

I laughed. " Yeah. To the winner's side!", I yelled and started to fight. My sword hit his and we fought hard. He wasn't that easy.

I felt his sword cut my cheek but I shrugged it off. No way was a little cut going to keep me back. We fought back and forth back and forth until I hit him hard. And by hard I mean painfully. He screamed and fell to the floor.

I looked ahead and saw the flag. I ran towards it but was stopped by no other than Clarisse.

" Sorry Annabeth, but you will be joining the losers this time", she said grinning evilly.

She ran to me and I ducked. I stood behind her and she turned around rapidly. She hit me with a lot of power and I hit back. I wasn't going to lose.

I felt her kick my legs and I fell to the ground. I laughed. This wasn't going to make me lose.

I got up and hit her. She grabbed her arm and glared at me. I took this as a chance to run. I knew that wasn't going to keep her back. But while she stood there, I ran and ran until I felt the flag in my hand.

Cheers erupted from the camp and I smiled. We did it!

" Wise Girl!", I heard someone scream.

" Percy!", I said laughing.

" You did it!".

" Ha ha I know!" I smiled.


We sat quietly on the beach. I stared out onto the ocean and breathed peacefully.

" Annabeth?", I heard Percy ask.

" Yeah?", I said.

" Um.. Do you remember the kiss last summer/", he asked while blushing really red,

I blushed as well. " Y-yea."

" Well, I wanted to tell you that it was something."

" What?", I asked confused.

He blushed. " What I mean is that it meant a lot to me. I like You. A lot."

I blushed. So it had meant something. I smiled.

" It's alright if you don't feel the sam-"

I pressed my lips to him. It might have been weird of me, but I've been waiting for him to say what he just did.

He wrapped his arms around me and deepened the kiss. I smiled.

We pulled apart and I said, " Does that answer your question?"

He nodded blushing a little. I noticed something. I didn't need him to ask me I already knew he loved me, and I knew I did too. Without him, my life would suck.
