Enjoy!
Annabeth's Pov
It was your average day at camp with campers practicing archery, testing their sword skills or scaling the lava wall. The Titan War was over but not everyone was happy. Katie and Travis STILL weren't together because of Travis's new girlfriend and neither were Sam and Jake for the same reason and… Percy was dating Rachel.
I had nothing much to do so I decided to meet my friends Silena, Katie and Sam on the beach. I immediately spotted them sitting on the sand, which was strange because I was sure that at least Katie and Sam would be in the water.
Katie Gardener is the daughter of Demeter and is just as stubborn as her mother. She has curly, brown hair and light green eyes the colour of grass.
Silena Buragard (is that how you spell it?) is the daughter of Aphrodite and had the same style and lovey attitude as her mum. She has blonde hair (or was it black?) you could never really tell with her because the colour of her hair kept changing, same goes for her eyes.
Sam Stone was the daughter of Poseidon, and Percy's half-sister, but her mother had been a daughter of Hecate and so she has inherited some of her mother's powers as well. Sam's real name was Samantha but if you called her that you would spend a few weeks in the infirmary (trust me I've tried). Sam was a Goth and complete tomboy and you would never catch her dead in a dress. She has wavy, blonde hair streaked with black and sea green eyes that matched Percy's exactly.
When I got there I found myself in the middle of one of the famous Sam and Katie arguments.
"What are they arguing about this time?" I asked Silena.
"Listen," she said coking her head towards Katie and Sam.
I sighed and turned to watch them bickering at the top of their lungs, waving their arms in the air.
"You are completely in love with him! It is so obvious a blind monkey could see it," Sam shouted. "Why don't you tell Travis already?"
Oh, I thought as the realisation came to me. This is one of their more frequent arguments about Sam saying that Katie loves Travis and then Katie denying it.
"I do not love him! We're just friends! Besides he's got a girlfriend, Paris from the Aphrodite Cabin! What about you," Katie argued changing the subject. "I totally saw you staring at Jake from the Apollo Cabin like he was a sign that read 'Free Ice-Cream!"
Sam blushed but continued to argue her point. This continued for about another ten minutes until I finally ended it.
"Ok girls! Lets just forget about this for a bit and go swimming for a while and then, after, you can argue to your hearts content!"
"Fine," they grumbled.
I took off my sundress revealing a dark blue bikini underneath, Silena's bikini was bright pink (no surprise), Katie's green and Sam wore short, black board shorts and a black bikini top. Katie and Sam were the first to race towards the water and dive into the waves and Silena and I followed.
After three water fights, a game of tag, some dunking and another of Katie and Sam's arguments, we finally got out of the water and collapsed on the beach.
"Well," Katie panted. "That was fun."
We all muttered in agreement and lay on the beach until Silena quickly sat up.
"Hay Annabeth," she said gesturing for me to sit up. "Look who it is."
I stayed down until Katie sat up and exclaimed, "It's Percy!"
Quickly I shot up and blushed as I saw all my friends staring at me. I looked over to the water to see Percy walking alone in the shallow. His black hair was as messy as always and his sea green eyes were sparkling. He just looked so perfect and… no Annabeth, I scolded myself, he has a girlfriend remember, Rachel.
I must have spaced out because Sam started clicking her fingers in front of my face. I shook my head.
"What?" I asked annoyed.
"Oh nothing except that you were staring at Percy with a dazed look as if you were daydreaming about someone…" Katie hinted.
"I was not!" I exclaimed defensively.
"Uh huh. Then why are you blushing?" Sam asked.
"I… um… ah…I,"
"Oh please guys lay off her," Silena scolded them, I was about to thank her when she continued. "She's just annoyed because the boy she likes is dating another girl. Otherwise known as Rachel Elizabeth Dare."
"That's not true!" I argued unconvincingly because it was completely true.
"Whatever you say," Katie shrugged.
"Come on guys," I said standing up and brushing the sand off my legs. "We have to get ready for dinner or else we're going to be late," I stared at Silena and added. "Again."
"It's not my fault I take my time to get ready!" Silena argued standing up while the others giggled.
And so we started walking towards our cabins to get ready.
Sam, Katie, Silena and I were walking towards the campfire, with Sam and Katie in yet another argument.
We sat down in some spare seats, while Katie and Sam continued bickering.
Finally their argument stopped as Travis Stoll and his girlfriend sat down in front of us with Paris's arms wrapped around him like an octopus. Katie and Sam were pretending to puke while Silena and I just looked at each other both knowing that instead of Paris there, it should be Katie. And then, since Sam was on the end, Jake came and sat next to her with his girl, Sophie practically sitting on his lap! Sam looked as if she was about to explode! Katie was trying to calm her down, which surprisingly she did. And then, as if our luck couldn't get any worse, Percy and Rachel sat in front of us next to Travis and Paris! Rachel stared at me evilly and took Percy's face in her hands and started squishing his lips to hers! I thought that maybe my heart was breaking just a bit.
"Ok, I think I have to go puke now!" Sam exclaimed and ran off.
"Or at least find a new seat!" Katie agreed at ran after her.
"Same goes for me," I said getting to.
"Don't forget me," Silena jumped up and walked with us.
I looked over towards Katie and Sam who looked as if they had both been hit with a hammer, and I was sure I looked the same.
"That was something that I did not need to see," Katie stated.
We all nodded in agreement.
We eventually found four empty seats on the other side of the campfire but I could still see Percy from here and was practically staring at him the whole time, unable to help myself. After about an hour Chiron came up and started making announcements, one announcement forced me to drag my eyes away from Percy and listen.
"And finally," Chiron began. "Aphrodite and Apollo are organising a masquerade dance in a month to which all demi-gods shall attended. All boys must wear tuxes and all girls must wear dresses."
"Crap…" I heard Sam mutter beside me.
"And…" Chiron added. "Some demi-gods chosen by Apollo will be preforming at the dance!"
"Double crap…" Sam said angrily.
"The demi-god's names, who have been chosen, will be pinned up on the Big House tomorrow morning! You have half an hour more until curfew." And with that Chiron walked off the stage.
Everyone started chatting excitedly about what he or she was going to wear or who they were going to take.
"This is sssooo exciting!" Silena squealed.
"Why do you torcher me so? WHY!" Sam yelled at the sky.
"So who are you guys going with?" Silena was basically jumping out of her seat while ignoring Sam.
"I don't know," Katie shrugged her shoulders.
Sam was still muttering about people loving to torcher her so I answered, "I don't know either."
"It's a shame you can't go with Percy. You two would have made a cute couple! I can see it now, Annabeth in a green, sparkly dress and Percy…" I cut Silena off by clamping my hand over her mouth.
"For the last time I don't like him!" I argued.
"Oh really?" Katie asked, eyebrows raised.
"No! I mean yes! I mean… agh!" I exclaimed throwing my arms in the air.
"Annabeth," I turned to Sam who had stopped shouting at the sky and was now deadly serious. "Do you like Percy?"
Her intense green eyes bored into my grey ones.
"No," I lied.
"You're lying," she replied simply, I was about to argue with her when she continued. "Now if you don't mind I want to get to bed before the harpies get me."
"Same here," Katie agreed yawning. "You guys coming?"
"Yeah," Silena said getting up. "Annabeth?"
"I think I'll stay for a while. See you guys in the morning."
"K."
And they walked off towards their cabins. I just sat there for five minutes until I got bored and started off towards my cabin.
I was almost there when I heard whispers coming from behind the Demeter Cabin. I hid behind a bush and peeked through to see what was happening. Standing there were none other than Percy and Rachel! I was about to head back, not wanting to see them sucking each other's face off, when I heard that they were arguing.
"Rachel I'm sorry I just…"
"You just what Percy? I told you that I hate the colour blue and yet you still got me a necklace with a heart and a blue key! BLUE Percy!"
"Look I'm sorry Rachel! I forgot, I can get a new one if you want but it could take a while because I have to save up for it."
"I don't care Percy! Just, no blue things!" And with that Rachel threw something at the ground and stopped away. I heard Percy sigh and I watched at he knelt to the ground and picked up the necklace.
"She just doesn't get me. Stupid piece of junk," he muttered while throwing the necklace at the bush that I was hiding behind.
I caught it before it could hit the ground and stared at the beauty of it.
It was a silver necklace with a silver heart on it that was engraved with the patter of waves and next to it hung a silver key studded with real sapphires.
I looked up and saw that Percy was gone, quietly I began to sing to myself.
I don't think that passenger seat,
Has ever looked this good to me.
He tells me about his night,
And I count the colours in his eyes.
He'll never fall in love,
He swears as he runs his fingers through his hair.
I'm laughing cause I hope he's wrong.
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind,
He tells a joke I fake a smile,
But I know all his favourite songs…
And I could tell you,
His favourite colour's green. (it's actually blue)
He loves to argue, (If I had a dollar for every time we argued I'd be rich)
Born on the seventeenth. (18th actually. The first time I saw him with Rachel)
His sister's beautiful, (Sam has this natural beauty about her)
He has his father's eyes. (Sea green)
And if you asked me if I loved him,
I'd lie.
I took out a small envelope from my pocket and placed the necklace inside. On the outside I wrote "Something as beautiful as this shouldn't go to waste".
I quietly snuck over to Percy's cabin and knocked on the door while placing the envelope on the door matt and hid around the other side of the cabin. I heard him open the door and pick up the envelope, I could almost feel him smiling. I heard the door shut and I began to sing again.
He looks around the room,
Innocently overlooks the truth.
Shouldn't a light go on?
Doesn't he know,
I've had him memorised for so long.
He sees everything black and white,
Never let nobody see him cry.
I don't let nobody see me,
Wishing he was mine.
And I could tell you,
His favourite colour's green.
He likes to argue,
Born on the seventeenth.
His sister's beautiful,
He has his father's eyes.
And if you asked me if I loved him,
I'd lie.
He stands there,
Then walks away.
My God if I could only say,
I'm holding every breath for you.
He'd never tell you,
But he can play guitar.
I think he can see through,
Everything but my heart.
First thought when I wake up,
Is my God, he's beautiful.
So I put on my make-up,
And pray for a miracle.
Yes I could tell you,
His favourite colour's green.
He likes to argue,
Oh and it kills me.
His sister's beautiful,
He has his father's eyes.
And if you asked me if I loved him…
If you ask me if I love him…
I'd lie.
I tip toed back to my cabin and crawled into bed thinking about the dance and who I would take, and knowing that whenever someone asked me if I loved Percy I'd lie.
I know it's a short and cheesy ending but my friend, Milly, was bugging me to finish it. Please review and I'll update faster!
