PERCY
Today being the first day of summer vacation, is the day I'm going back to camp. I'm excited…. And nervous. Probably more nervous than excited .Your probably wondering why I'm nervous. Well the reason is…. Today is the first day back to camp since Annabeth and I kissed underwater, and started dating. I know I sound so dumb because what guy wouldn't want to see their girlfriend right? But Annabeth is just so beautiful, and I don't want to mess things up with her. ( I have a tendency to mess things up really fast.) Time to face my fears and show Annabeth that I can be the best boyfriend she will ever have!
"Hey, dude you can stop here." I told the taxi driver. "Are you sure, um we are in the middle of nowhere." Said the taxi driver. "Yeah I can walk the rest of the way." I said. "Okay, then but I hope you know the closest town is 60 miles from here." "Don't worry I'll be fine thanks for the ride." The taxi driver turned around and said "Pay up, the rides aren't free ya know." I reached into my pocket and dug around for some cash I found a 20 dollar bill. I grabbed it and felt the box that had Annabeth's owl earrings in it. I handed him the money, and grabbed my blue duffel bag which had my clothes, Minotaur horn and my bag of blue jelly beans in it. I opened the car door and said "Thanks." And then started up half- blood hill. As I reached Thalia's Pine Tree I got really nervous. What if she doesn't like her earrings, or-or what if she isn't happy to see me Or-"PERCY!" All I remember seeing is Annabeth charging at me and then having a mess of blonde curly blonde hair in my face.
I was laying on the ground because she basically tackled me. But it doesn't matter it is Annabeth I love her. As soon as I got up and regained my balance she said "I'm so sorry, it's just- I'm SO happy to see you! And She Hugged me. I picked her up and spun her around. She started laughing and she looked so beautiful. God was I happy to see her. "I'm so glad I'm here with you! Come on we should go see Chiron." I said. I hugged Thalia's Tree and said "It's good to be home." I had to run to catch up to Annabeth. I came up behind her and laced my fingers through hers. She looked at me and smiled.
She stood on her tip toes and kissed me on the cheek. I Smiled and then blushed.
"Oh Percy Hello it's nice to see you. How have you been?" said the deep familiar voice of Chiron. "It's nice to see you Chiron. I have been good thanks to my wise girl." I said smiling and then looked at Annabeth. Chiron looked down at us holding hands and then said "Well I'm glad. Tonight is capture the flag. Are you guys going to join us? Or do you have plans?" Chiron raised his eyebrow suspiciously. "No we don't have plans tonight. I cant wait for the first game of capture the flag! See ya tonight Chiron."
"Okay you two have fun… but not too much fun. You know the rules." Said Chiron. Then me and Annabeth blushed and looked away.
It sucks that Annabeth and I cant sit together at dinner. But that's okay because I have a plan. I go to get food and scraped some into the fire for the gods. Tonight it smelled like my moms homemade blue chocolate chip cookies. Okay now its time for capture the flag! I walked over to the Athena cabin. They were making the plan for capture the flag. " Hey guys do you mind if I borrowed Annabeth for a sec?"
"Sure, Sure… I don't care. Leave me alone I'm to busy making the perfect plan. We are going to KILL the Ares Cabin!" said Malcom Annabeths half brother. " Come on Annabeth you can put your armor on in my cabin." I grabbed her hand and she smiled at me. I smiled back at her. "Get outta here you love birds." Said Malcom.
We got back to my cabin. We got our armor on and then I said " Annabeth I have a plan tonight for capture the flag." " Okay, but so do I." she said " But mine is special, and it has to work. Please can we use my plan." I said. She gave me her sure-I-guess-you-can looks. " Thanks I promise you will love it!" I said. She smiled. She looked like she was struggling with one of her straps. I walked over and said " here I got it." I fixed it for her and then I looked down at her looking up at me. We leaned in for a kiss. That was our first kiss this summer. It was amazing. When I kiss Annabeth its like the whole world goes into slow motion, and I feel like I'm underwater. Full of power and so confident. We kept kissing until I heard the horn for capture the flag. " come on we need to get out there." I said. "But cant we just stay in here?" "I wish we could wise girl. Now come on."
We walked outside and got into position. "What's your amazing plan seaweed brain?" Annabeth asked.
"Just follow me okay." I said. " Fine." We started running away from the fighting. "You do know that this is the wrong way right?" she asked. "No it's not….For us." I winked and she smiled. I was staring at her while she was running and I was thinking to myself "wow she is so… well hot." That's when I ran into a tree. "Owww…" I said. " Oh My god Percy are you okay?" said Annabeth. She reached down and grabbed my hands. I stood up and said " Yeah I'm fine come on I still want to take you somewhere."
We finally got to the perfect spot. Zeus's fist. I helped her climb up to the top. "Im…. So….Tired." She said. " Its okay." I wrapped my arms around her and we sat down. "Annabeth I have missed you so much. I don't want to be separated from you." I said. "I have missed you too. More than you can probably imagine." She said. I reached into my pocket and got out the box. I gave It to Annabeth. "What is this?" she asked. " Open it." I said smiling. " Aww you shouldn't have Percy I love them. But not as much as I love you seaweed brain." She punched my in the arm playfully. She put the earrings on. We laid down next to each other and looked up at the stars. "Remember when we were fighting kronos's army? And you took that stab for me?" I asked. She didn't say anything for a while I looked over at her and I saw tears rolling down her cheeks. I wiped them off her face. "Yeah I remember." She said. "Why, why did you do that for me?" I asked. "Because. I-I…. Love you." She said. "You know you didn't have to do that." I said. "But I did, I wanted to. I couldn't live with myself if I let anything happen to you Percy."
"Remember the time when you kissed me for good luck." I asked. "Yeah I do." She said. "Well We should do that again." I said smiling. I saw her smile a little and then we kissed.
