How do you like it so far? PS: I meant what I said about my other story (The Year After). I'm not updating till at least 11 people review and vote on the story. Oh and sorry about my short chapters. Is it wrong to stalk my crush's girlfriend? Probably. Oh well. :)

GROVER:
"Just like that?" I asked.

"Just like that" Percy answered glumly.

Percy had been telling me about how Annabeth broke up with him. They had been dating for 2 years now, after way too long of everybody else saying, "Get together already!" I assumed we had finished all the drama, but apparently not.

"And she wouldn't even stay friends with you?"

"Nope."

It was horribly depressing. I didn't want to spread a rumor, but I had to tell someone! So I told Juniper (MY girlfriend).

"Isn't it sad?" I said to her.

"Yeah," she said, her eyes green from crying. "But fishy too."

"Huh?"

"Tell me again why she broke up with him."

"Uh, a change in personality." I started chewing my collar because I was nervous. Juniper had her Something's-wrong-here look.

"Hmmm. That doesn't really sound like Annabeth. I'd better go talk to her."

"Juniper, don't interfere with their personal lives."

"Since when are you the boss of me?"

"Uh-never."

"Exactly."

She darted off into the woods and, even though Percy couldn't hear me, I started playing a healing song on my pipes.

ANNABETH:

I walked through the woods, not really sure what I was doing, and not caring.

"Why, mom?" I mumbled angrily.

"Hey Annabeth." Something said behind.

I whirled around. "Oh hi Juniper."

"Hi" she said.

"What's up?"

"Is it true?"

"Is what true?"

"You and Percy."

How did she know? I suppose Percy told Grover, who told Juniper.

"Yeah." I replied sadly.

"But why?" she asked.

Hmmm. Athena had said to only not tell Percy why. She never said I couldn't tell Juniper.

So, after swearing her to secrecy, I told her about how Athena made me break up with Percy, and how she wouldn't let me be friends with him.

"I thought so." She said.

"I'm so mad at her! How could she do this to me?"

"That was pretty bitchy of her, but I think I know how to get you back with him."

"How?" I asked, extreemly hopeful.

"Did she say someone else couldn't tell Percy, and then have him get back with you?"

"No."

"Then that's what we'll do!"

I have to admit, Juniper's pretty smart for a tree. "Brilliant!" I exclaimed.

As Juniper ran off to tell him, I was so happy I almost forgot how mad I was at my mother.

Almost.
