Camp Half-Blood
Annabeth's POV
"YES! You were awesome Percy!" Annabeth threw her arms around him. Whoa, when did his muscles get so...great? Her thoughts came as quickly as she stepped back, cheeks with a full blush.
"You weren't too bad yourself out there," he added, his green eyes bright. To get a break from the unbearable summer heat, Chiron suggested they have a strategy game out on the water. The point was to position your fleet so that your enemies wouldn't be able to pass your frontline and "invade" your city. The camp had been divided into two groups- red and blue. Athena's Cabin had ended up on the same team as Poseidon's and they seemed to work great together seeing as how they're parents hate each other.
"Shut up, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth pushed him lightly, again feeling the awesomeness of his muscles. The sun was hitting him at just the right angle so every part of him looked great. Why is the only word I can use to describe him is great?
"I can't believe this is our last night of camp. It hardly feels like it." He had been gazing into her eyes and abruptly turned the other way back towards the cabins.
She started and half-skipped to catch up. "Yeah, well at least we're all going to the same public school for our sophomore year." Her arm brushed his. Muscles… She thought dreamily.
"Oh, uh, right. Don't think public school is going to go great for me." He ran his hand through his hair anxiously. They stopped on the outskirts of the campfire where Chiron was beginning a speech about going home in the fall and school.
"Don't worry. I'll keep you in check." Annabeth gave his hip a little nudge with her own, without a moment's thought. Where is this coming from?
Percy glanced at her, pleasantly confused by her flirtatiousness as she was. He didn't have time to reply though; burnt sacrifices to the gods were starting.
Aphrodite, I've never prayed to you. Hell, I've never even liked you, but I'm gonna need all the blessings I can get.
"Wait, you like him?" Rachel Elizabeth Dare, Annabeth's close friend at camp, sat beside her in a secluded area by the water.
"I don't know. It's just all of a sudden I realized how nice and funny he is and today when I hugged him, it was—his muscles were—they were like—so strong."
Rachel's nose wrinkled. "Well, I guess we all like what we like. And you like him." Rachel was still sore from when Percy had shot her down when they first met.
"Enough about Percy. Are you excited for school or what?" Annabeth launched into her favorite subject—besides Percy and…Percy.
Rachel laughed. "You sure are Athena's daughter. I guess I'm okay about starting school. I'm just not so keen on delivering a Great Prophecy in the middle of Chemistry."
Annabeth wondered how Rachel would look like delivering a Great Prophecy under the Mist. The girls took turns talking about school, camp, Percy and…Percy.
