I don't own PJO
Annabeth's POV
We ran towards the east woods so we could start the game of capture the flag. Many campers were already standing there, waiting for everyone to arrive.
" Is there any new campers here tonight?" asked Chiron.
I looked around and nobody raised their hands.
" Alright! You all know the rules. Play fair and NO killing!"
We stood against the red team and I noticed all the Ares campers grinning evilly. I smiled.
" Ready, set, go!" Everyone ran in different directions. I heard swords clash with swords and screaming. I ran towards the flag but was stopped was an Ares guy.
" Going any where, blondie?"
I growled. I hated when people called me that. " I am. But you're not." I grabbed my knife and aimed at him. He brought his sword up and stopped my aim. He moved his knife with mine and I concentrated on winning.
" You're pretty good," he said.
I said nothing. I felt a kick on my stomach and I grunted. He tried again and he buckled my knees. I fell to the ground and looked around for my knife.
" Looking for this?" he asked.
I got up and ran towards him. He moved aside and tripped me. I hissed and glared at him.
" You play dirty," I said.
He chuckled. " Glad you noticed."
I ran towards again and he threw my knife into the lake. A daughter of Athena always has a plan. I stared at him and also kept looking back to my sword. I ran forward and he thought I was going to fight bare handed. I side stepped and ran towards the lake.
I reached for my knife and grabbed it, but it was too late. I felt a pair of strong hands grab my shoulders and sink me in the water. I felt the fresh water go in my throat and it burned. I couldn't see anything. Everything looked fuzzy because of the water. I tried kicking but I felt someone grab my legs.
I thought about many things, not panicking. I had to think of something, quickly. I could barley breath.
I heard a rumble in the water and the pressure in my shoulders and legs went away. I got up from the water and turned around.
The Ares guy was drenched in water, on the floor, coughing. A very angry Percy stood in front of him.
" Wise Girl? Are you alright?"
I nodded.
I turned my ehad and saw the flag. I took the chance and I ran towards it. I was almost close. I felt the fabric touch my finger tips and I grabbed it.
Cheers erupted through the woods, and I lifted the flag up.
" Annabeth", Percy yelled.
" Percy. Thanks for saving me."
He smiled. " You're welcome. By the way, we won."
I grinned. I saw Clarisse walking towards us, with her armor on.
" That was a lucky shot, daughter of Athena."
" Thanks, Clarisse."
" Everyone, listen up! We will have our feast for our winner's team!," Chiron yelled.
I was walking around camp, trying to look for Percy but couldn't find him anywhere. I decided to walk towards the strawberry fields where most satyrs spent their time. Hopefully he was there with Grover.
" Grover? Have you seen Percy?" I asked.
He shook his head nervously. " Um no."
I stared at him. " What's wrong?"
" Nothing. Juniper's looking for me!" He ran off. I wondered what was wrong with him, but shrugged it off.
I walked a little farther but then stopped.
" Percy!"
" Oh, hey Wise Girl."
" Hey. That was a good game, huh?"
He nodded. " It was awesome."
I sat next to him and looked at the cabin area. You could see almost anything from here.
" I'm really glad I got to be here this summer."
" Me too," I answered.
" Wise Girl?" I heard him ask.
I turned around and was surprised. He lips pressed softly against mine and he grabbed my hand. I was shocked, but I kissed him back. It felt as if my brain was shutting down.
We pulled away and he stared at me.
It was silent for a few minutes. I didn't know what to say and neither did he. The only thing I could hear was the noise of satyrs playing their reed pipes.
" I-um, I have to get to my cabin. I don't want to be eaten by a harpy." He got up and walked off.
He kissed me and walked off?
I walked back to my cabin with the kiss replaying in my head. I never thought of Percy in another other way besides as a best friend. I did admit he was cute and funny. But this summer something felt different. I was always blushing around him and I got a sick feeling in my stomach. I didn't know what was wrong with me.
" Annabeth? What's wrong with you?" asked Malcom.
I shook my head. " Nothing. Just tired."
He nodded and stared at me before walking off. I laid down on my bunk and closed my eyes. Was it possible that he felt something for me? Was it possible for me to feel something for him? I sighed and felt myself go into deep sleep.
I opened my eyes and saw some of my siblings staring down at me.
" What?" I asked.
" Annabeth, it's 11. You missed breakfast. You never miss breakfast."
I scrunched my eye brows together and stared at them.
" I don't know what happened."
They looked at me and shrugged. I walked to the showers and grabbed my camp t-shirt.
Percy's POV
I don't know what came over me. I mean, Annabeth would never feel the same way about me. She only saw me as a stupid SeaweedBrain.
I saw her walk out of her cabin and she looked beautiful. She was just wearing her camp t-shirt and shorts and she still looked beautiful. She even made armor look cute.
I shook my head. How could I be thinking this? It was downright stupid. Love is never stupid my dear. I sighed. Aphrodite. She has been bugging me the past day and she just won't get out of my head.
" Percy!" I found Emily, a daughter of Aphrodite running towards me.
" Hey."
She smiled. " Um, you see, there's going to be a dance in two days here at camp. It's for people who didn't get to have a prom at their school. Anyone's allowed to go."
" Yeah?"
She nodded. " I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?"
I stared at her. " Um, sure."
She smiled. " Great. I'll see you at archery!"
I tried smiling back but stopped when I saw a blob of curly blonde hair run the other way. Annabeth.
Annabeth's POV
I clenched my fists. I felt really stupid. How come I ever thought that Percy could ever like me in another way rather than being best friends? I was a daughter of Athena! How could I be so stupid?
I bit my lip. I wasn't going to cry. I was NOT going to cry. He's my best friend. I should be happy for him.
I made my way toward the pavilion, my stomach churning. I missed breakfast and I didn't want to miss lunch.
I grabbed my food quickly and sat down.
" Annabeth!"
" Oh. Hey Percy."
He frowned. " Something wrong?" I stared at him. How could he be this stupid? I sighed and shook my head.
" You sure?" he asked.
" I'm fine," I mumbled.
I was waiting for him to leave, but instead he sat next to me.
" This isn't allowed," I stated.
He shrugged. " Chiron's fine with it."
I stared at my food, not wanting to eat anymore. I felt really awkward sitting here. Why couldn't he just sit at his own table?
" Annabeth, I know something's wrong. You look, angry."
" I'm not angry!," I yelled.
He stared at me, shocked. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean to piss you off."
I sighed and grabbed my food. I threw it away and ran out the pavilion.
Dun dun dun! What will happen? Will she stay mad at him? Do not worry people, there will be Percabeth in next chapter. Review and you'll get it.
