"Listen, Annabeth-"I thought about Mount St. Helens, Calypso's island, Luke and Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and how suddenly everything had gotten so complicated. I wanted to tell Annabeth that I didn't really want to be so distant from her.

Annabeth arched her eyebrows

"I- I've been thinking…" I stammered

"Really? That's new"

"Well, I want you to know that you're more important to me than Rachel, and I don't want to be so distant… But if you don't feel that way, I mean, it's okay if-" I was getting nervous…

Annabeth laughed. I love it when she laughs.

"You're such a seaweed brain" she said while holding back another laugh. She moved closer and kissed me on the cheek.

"I'll keep in touch, alright?" she said with a smile before running down the meet Argus at the van.

I watched her jog down the hill and when the van drove off; I did a victory fist pump, and earned some stares from the other campers.
