Annabeth's Point of View
"Please tell me your going on Travis and Connor's Yacht for a weekend for there 17th birthday?" Selina asked me clearly excited. Connor and Travis were really rich twins in our grade.
"No. Mid terms are Monday and my dad will kill me if I don't do good." I told Selina and she rolled her eyes.
"Annabeth, the whole grade is going! I heard even Luke was going, you know you cant resist him." Selina said winking.
"Well its just a weekend." I melted at the thought of Luke who had been my crush since kindergarten.
"That's the spirit! Plus well be sailing all the way to fricken Mexico!" She chimed and I grabbed my books from my locker. I had honors history next.
"I have to go Selina but ill see you tonight." I told her walking towards my history class.
"Bye Annie!" She called.
"Don't call me that!" I yelled not bothering to turn around as I walked into history. Luke was in my history class and he patted the seat next to him, I admittedly got butterfly's in my stomach looking at his crystal clear blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair. I took a seat next to him and shot quick glances at him once in a while and he would smile at me.
"Mr. Jackson," Mr. Brunner called snapping me out of my daze. "Who is the Greek God of the sea?" He asked. The boy was new this year but mostly kept to himself, beside being friends with Grover. He had shaggy, messy black hair and olive toned skin. His name was Percy I think.
"Poseidon." He told Mr. Brunner and the teacher smiled.
"Very good Percy." Percy just looked down at his paper but then turned his head quickly in my direction probably to check the time. I looked at his eyes subtlety, they were green like the ocean, Sea green. Before I knew it the bell let out a loud ring and I jumped.
"Mid terms Monday people! Don't forget to study!" Mr. Brunner yelled as we all got up to leave. I said goodbye to Luke after telling him I was going to the weekend party and quickly rushed out of the door to walk home and pack but there was a familiar black car parked out side of the school. I ran up to it.
"Thalia!?" I yelled and she came out of the car, spiky black hair and all and hugged me. Thalia was a old friend from a camp I used to go to.
"Surprise!" She yelled and I smiled. I got into the car and me and Thalia talked about school and stuff on the way to my house and more quickly then I would have liked, we pulled up in front of my home.
"Want to come in Thals?" I asked and she smiled.
"Wish I could, but I'm staying with a cousin and he would get worried if I wasn't home soon." She explained and I hugged her while inviting her too Travis and Connors weekend extravaganza to Mexico. She said she would think about it and I got out of her car. I walked into my house where my dad was sitting on his Laptop. You see my mom kind of ditched me and my dad when I was born, he had remarried and him and my step-mom had twins together.
"Hey dad some kids are throwing a Yacht party for there birthday, there heading down to Mexico for the weekend. Can I go?" My dad grumbled a yes and I walked up stairs to pack. My dad didn't really care about anything un-school related. I packed my bag quickly and looked at my watch 6:32 and I had to be on the boat by 7:30. I gathered my things and headed out the door walking to the docks were most of my school was gathered.
Percy's Point of View
"And do I still have to go?" I asked as we were in line to board the humongous ship.
"Yes. Now shut up." Thalia, my dear cousin ordered. A man in a formal suit handed each person who walked through the ships door a room key. Now there are 400 people in the senior class, this boat was practically a cruise ship. Who am I kidding? This was a cruise ship. I took the stairs to my room, 257. I opened the door to find a impressive room with two double beds and a big balcony. After putting my bags down I walked onto the balcony, the ship had started to move and the sun was setting. I smelled the ocean air that made me feel at home. When I looked to my right I was surprised to find a girl also standing on her balcony. She hadn't noticed me yet but I knew her . That sounded creepy, but everyone knows the ever so charming Annabeth Chase. She looked over at me with intense gray eyes and held my gaze for a moment. Then she dropped it and went back into her room, Shutting the glass door behind her. I settled down in my room until I heard some shouts coming from the hallway as someone pounded on my door. Thaila.
"What?" I asked and she smiled at me.
"Mexico in the morning!" She yelled excited.
"That's all?" I asked irritated and she nodded. "Then I'm going to bed." I told her and she smiled.
"See you tomorrow morning…in Mexico." She grinned and I closed the door. What had I gotten myself into?
Annabeth's Point of View
I breathed in the fresh morning air as I stretched on my balcony. We were in Mexico. Almost to Grande Caiman if you want to be specific. I quickly went through my morning routine. The girls wanted to go to the beach today so I wore a grey bikini under my white shorts and navy blue tank top. I grabbed my two string pull Nikey bag and headed out the door to find Luke standing there smiling. "Hey Annabeth want to go check out the deck well no ones there?" He asked and I smiled and nodded.
"Where is everyone?" I asked as we reached the deserted deck.
"Breakfast." He explained simply. We walked up to the edge of the boat that was blocked off by a rail. I looked off at the water and then Luke did something unexpected. He spun me around and kissed me. I kissed him back and now it was a full out makeout session. He picked me up and rested me on the railing of the ship. That's when things went horribly wrong. His hands started to slide down towards my butt and I politely put them back on my waist. Luke did this again several times and I was forced to finally addressed it.
"Luke, stop." I told him.
"Why are you being such a prude?" He asked shoving me backwards and before I could comprehend what was happening I felt the warm water surround me. I was in the ocean. I thrashed desperately trying to break the surface. Oh, did I forget to mention I cant swim?
Percy's Point of View
"Hey Grover, I left my wallet in my room ill be right back." I told my friend on the way to breakfast.
"Okay man just hurry up or all the good foods gonna be gone." He told me and I smiled. Grover was all about food. I slowly walked towards my room when I heard screaming. I ran towards the screams to find Luke standing against the railing searching the water franticly with his eyes.
"Luke, what wrong?" I asked and Luke gave me a horrified look.
"Annabeth, she cant swim." He said franticly.
"Wait, is she in the water?" I asked and he nodded. I did the only thing I could think of, I jumped in after her. I finally found her slowly sinking to the bottom of the ocean. There was no ladder or anything to climb back on the ship so I threw Annabeth in the emergency dingy that the boat was towing. I climbed in the dingy after Annabeth and at first Luke looked relived from the boat but then his expression turned to something darker, almost grim. "Luke pull us in! Annabeth needs help!" I yelled to Luke.
"I cant Percy. What if she's dead? I cant go to jail, I'm going to Princeton this fall." He said shakily.
"Luke just pull us in." Apparently my request was denied because Luke pulled out a switch blade and cut the rope that was connecting us to the boat.
"Sorry Annabeth." He whispered as he walked away from the scene.
"No! Luke!" I yelled as we drifted away from the fast moving cruse ship.
Annabeth's Point of View
I woke up with a soar throat. I opened by eyes slowly adjusting to the brightness. "Where in the world…" I started checking my surroundings. Ocean. Dingy. Where was I?
"Hey sleepy head, you had me scared for a minute." Said a voice from behind me. I turned around to find Percy smiling.
"Percy what happened?" I asked and he looked at me.
"Something with Luke, you were drowning, I got you into the dingy with me, Luke cut us free from the ship." Luke? Why wouldn't he save us. Percy gave me a look that said ill tell you later, so I moved onto the next question.
"How long was I out for?" I asked trying not to panic.
"2 days. You woke up on and off. I went through your Nike bag though, I was able to save the sun screen, a water bottle, aloe, chap stick, and a couple breakfast bars." He told me counting the things off his fingers.
"Can I have some water?" I asked and he made a guilty face.
"Sure but there's only a little bit left. I kind of forced feed you some when you were unconscious." He told me and a nodded. I drank the ounce of water that was left.
"So what did I miss?" I asked as casually as possible.
"Not much. Just a storm but you woke up just in time to help me get to that piece of Land." Percy told me putting his hands up to shade his eyes and pointing. I looked at the same direction. He was right there was land, and I was planning on getting there. I took a emergency paddle and Percy grabbed the other one as we headed to land.
