Ok hey guys! I'm totally new to this! I've been writing for a while, but just started posting! This is like my first story ever so HELPFUL reviews and nothing TOO mean, please? I know it's kind of sucky but I worked hard on it! It's kind of long. Well it will be! Ok so here it is!
"Oh my gods! I am SO ticked at Percy! I can't believe this! Percy KISSED Rachel! Stupid Percy! Stupid redheaded, mortal, annoying, clear-sighted Rachel. I mean Percy REALLY seems to like Rachel and because of that I don't. I've tried to like her for Percy's sake, but now I don't even have to anymore! I HATE PERCY! I'm not even going to talk to him," I ranted to myself through the end of crying.
"Hey Annabeth!" Percy said totally unaware of my anger.
Silence.
"Annabeth?" He tried again.
"What?" I snapped.
"Oh! Are...are you ok?" He asked my back since it was turned to him.
"Do I look ok?" I said turning to reveal my tear streaked face.
"Oh my gods!"
"Yeah!"
"Who died?"
I shook my head and kept walking to the Aphrodite cabin to find Silena. She'd know what to do.
Now I know it was hard for Percy to get why I was so worked up. He didn't even know I liked him so much. He'd find out soon enough though.
"No seriously, what's wrong, Annabeth?"
"Nothing! Nothing, ok?" I said feeling more tears coming on.
"Annabeth."
I turned, running over to the beach where Silena was sitting.
"Oh my gods! Annabeth! Are you ok?" Silena gasped.
Silena and I had surprisingly become pretty good friends. I talked about Percy all the time and she talked about Beckendorf all the time. We were both sworn to secrecy, though. Besides her, Chiron was the only person (or centaur) that knew about my giant crush on Percy, and Chiron wasn't even supposed to know.
"No. I am most definitely not ok!" I said with tears streaming down my face.
"Is it Percy?" she asked.
"Yes! I am so mad at him."
"Well what happened?"
"He...he," I couldn't even get it out.
"Let's go somewhere more private," Silena suggested.
I nodded yes and we went to the porch on the Big House and tried to sit away from Mr. D and Chiron.
"You know that mortal, Rachel, that Percy talks about, and I complain about?" I asked Silena, getting a hold of myself.
"Oh yeah."
"He KISSED her!" I almost shouted, but I stopped myself realizing Mr. D and Chiron were still out there with the rest of the campers.
"Wow! Now I totally agree that that's ridiculous, but it isn't like you to get all worked up about this."
"I know! But the fact that he wouldn't tell me!"
"He didn't want to hurt you."
"Well I wanna hurt him. At least we aren't going out. Then I wouldn't know what to do at all."
"How'd you find out?"
"Percy's mom. Or maybe him."
"What?"
So I told her how I was supposed to meet Percy at his apartment and we were supposed to ride to camp together with Argus driving us. When I got there a window was open and Percy's mom was hugging him goodbye. Thank gods I didn't knock.
"Mom you know you can't come. Camp isn't for mortals," Percy had said.
"I know. I guess you'll miss Rachel then," Ms. Jackson said.
OH MY GODS! Was I ticked at that!
"Mom! I kissed her ONCE this summer."
I hadn't stuck around after that. I ran off crying and I had really hoped he had said something like " And it was horrible!" Or "Well I guess I can't say that 'cause she kissed me." But I would never know.
"Wow," Silena said.
"What should I do?" I asked desperately and close to tears after retelling the story.
"Tell him how you feel."
"NO!"
"Annabeth, it's either that or Rachel gets him first!"
"But he doesn't like Rachel like that!" I shouted not even caring who heard me.
Silena raised an eyebrow.
"Or does he?" I said in a small, hurt voice.
"Maybe he doesn't, but that could all change. I'm a daughter of the goddess of love, Annabeth. Think I know what I'm talking about?"
"Yeah."
"Get out there then!"
"Do I have to right this second?"
"No. Think of the perfect way to say it and then tell him."
"Shouldn't the guy tell the girl first?"
"Not if the guy doesn't like the girl."
"Oh thanks!"
"Sorry. But if by any chance he does beat you to it then your all taken care of as long as you tell him after he tells you."
"Oh my gods! There he is!"
"Remember! I never told you any of this!"
What happened to the Silena who had always said, "Don't worry he totally likes you back!" to me? I opened my mouth to say something, but she ran off.
A/N: It's like 10:00 PM and I'm super tired, and on my computer the updating is SUPER complicated and like only Annabeth Chase can figure it out! LOL! (not that funny) Anywho! I'm posting chapters like non stop tonight! So just keep checking!
