"GROVER!" I yelled. Where was the perfect goat-boy when you needed him, anyways? I looked across from the fighting arena, and saw him standing there with a girl. She looked about 5'3, as opposed to my 5'5. She had long brown hair that flowed around her shoulders.
"Hey," Annabeth said as she came up and kissed me. I grimaced. I hoped she hadn't seen me staring at the new girl. You see, being boyfriend and girlfriend has been hard lately because her mother- Athena- basically hates me.
"She doesn't hate you," Annabeth murmured into my ear. We had known each other for so long that we could almost always guess what each other were thinking.
"Sure… that's what she wants you to think."
"Percy, stop being immature. She's just worried."
"About what?"
"About you turn over to Kronos."
"Oh, there's some trust."
"Percy, she's just looking out for me. A mothers' love."
I rolled my eyes; I've heard that one before. "Some mother."
"Percy!"
"But-"
"No buts, Percy," she replied, giving me a kiss on the lips. There were few things I liked more than a kiss from Annabeth.
"Okay," I said with a giddy smile on my face.
"C'mon pretty boy, Chiron wants us."
"Huh?" I said, still preoccupied with Annabeth's kiss.
"PERCY! Pay attention! Chiron wants us."
"And?"
"And it's urgent. He sounded worried and nervous."
Worried and nervous? Chiron was a pretty laid-back guy. If he was worried about something, then we were in trouble.
Big trouble.
