-Percy's POV-
"I just don't understand, Annabeth. I've done my best to make you happy, all I could possibly have done. So why are you mad at me?"
"You should know Percy! You promised me she meant nothing to you. You practically cheated on me!"
"What are you talking about?! Annabeth. I love you. You, and only you, I swear it on the River Styx."
"So why did you kiss her?"
"Kiss who?! I didn't kiss anyone except you!"
Annabeth rolled her eyes at me, clearly not buying it. Well, it was true. I didn't kiss anyone. The one time I'm actually telling the truth she doesn't believe me. Just great.
I decided to try again. "Annabeth I wouldn't do that to you."
"Just leave. Go, and don't come back."
"You can't just kick me out of camp half-blood! It's my home as well as yours!"
"Find a new home. You are not welcome here anymore."
And with that, she turned and ran. Leaving me dumbfounded with a broken heart.
I was not eager to leave camp half blood. Nor was I eager to go to dinner. So I headed back to my cabin and did what any man did when his girlfriend dumps him. I put on my footy pjs, grabbed my teddy bear, and sobbed till I fell asleep.
The next morning I awoke to blood shot eyes. So after about an hour of trying to get the back to normal, and standing in the mirror perfecting my smile, I walked into sword fighting class to a nice happy greeting.
Some kids whispered and gave me dirty looks, others completely refused to look my way. Weird.. I thought.
I spotted Thalia with a few of her other hunters, but when she looked my way she was quick to find something else to look at. I walked over to her, but before I reached her Annabeth showed up and linked arms with her and walked away.
I scanned the rest of the crowed. Nico!
"Hey man, wanna practice?" I asked indicating to my sword Riptide.
He glanced at me looking slightly embarrassed.
"Um.. Sorry man. I'm kinda busy."
"Doing what?" I asked.
"Stuff." He said, and shadow travelled away.
Ok, now THAT was weird. I walked towards a dummy.
"Hey Jason!" I said.
(Oh I'm sorry I meant a dummy as in a practice dummy)
Oh. Right. *rewind*
I uncapped Riptide and went over the basics.
Slash.
Stab.
Shield.
I wasn't aware of Hazel coming towards me until it was too late.
"PERCY JACKSON GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!"
I'm pretty sure my face went red. I'm not used to being yelled at by hazel. Usually Franks the poor victim.
"Y-yes Hazel?" I stuttered.
"YOU CHEATED ON ANNABETH?!"
"WHAT?! NO! I WOULD NE-" I got cut off by a smack to the face.
Well hello hand, meet my face.
"Hazel." My voice was surprisingly calm. A little creepy now that I think about it. "Why would you think I cheated on Annabeth?"
"Well.. Well because she told me you did."
Then I understood. Obviously I'm a child of Poseidon not Athena so excuse my slowness. But I got the message. I was no long welcomed here. Annabeth made sure of that.
The rest of the day went no better than it did in the beginning. I decided to go visit my father sense all my friends seemed to of decided me guilty without a proper trial. Where was justice?! I may be a demigod but I'm a citizen too! Ok ok, whatever not the point.
I walked straight into the lake, and thought out, "uh, hello? Sea creatures? Yeah um, I could use a ride here."
A sea horse came out of nowhere, "yeah yeah, but next time bring me a taco will yuh?"
"You do realized it would fall apart- you know what? Sure thing man."
If sea horses can give you dirty looks, this one did. "I'm a girl."
"Right! Sorry."
Ok I know what your thinking. Sea horses are small you can't ride them. Well you see, I AM PERCY JACKSON, SON OF THE SEA GOD, RIDER OF GIANT SEA HORSES. So yes, I rode a sea horse. Get used to it.
"Dad!" I said, walking in.
"Percy my boy! Come and sit down."
I looked around. Sit down, where exactly? The front room was the size of a ballroom, but down a sea green carpet was a giant throne were my father sat. The walls were decorated with shells and sea plants, but nope, not seeing any chairs.
"Um.. I think I'll stand. But thanks dad."
"No problem son. And by the way congratulations."
"What?" I asked.
"I hear you got a new girlfriend! I never liked that Annabeth chick. No, too scary." He shivered. "Too much like her mother. Now who's this new lucky lady?" He asked.
"Dad. Annabeth broke up with me. Said that I cheated on her and now everyone hates me." I said, my voice cracking on her name.
"Ah. I see." He stopped and seemed to ponder this for a moment. "So why did you do it?"
"What?" I asked astonished. "Dad! I didn't! I would never!"
"A son who cheats is no son of mine." he said, snapping his fingers. I felt my connections as a son of Poseidon fade.
Rage boiled inside of me. "Dad. My fatal flaw is loyalty. How could I possible cheat on the girl I love?" I asked, hands trembling.
"I don't know. That's why I asked you. Did you not hear me?" He spoke like he was talking to a three year old.
"Fine." I said, and left.
