Hi guys. Here's chapter two. Sorry if it's kind of short. It actually took me forever to figure out how to upload a new chapter. Once again, I don't own PJO. Also, If any of you guys are staff in a community, it would really mean a lot if you could PM me. Thanks
Chapter Two
Annabeth's POV
As we walked to our cabins, Percy's expression was unreadable. Maybe he was worried about his reputation at school. I've heard he got kicked out of a lot. Maybe he was worried about the dyslexia and ADHD. But that seems odd because I have it too, and I wouldn't let them it get in my way. But of course, I'm the daughter of the goddess or wisdom so I make better choices than Percy anyway. Speaking of the goddess of wisdom, I wonder what Athena is thinking of us right now. She's probably watching us walk side by side as this very moment. She's most likely happy that were not holding hands. Of course, the fact that were not holding hands would make the goddess of love, Aphrodite very upset.
When I snapped out of my thoughts, we were two steps away from my cabin. I turned the door knob and stepped inside the wooden room. Before I shut the door, I turned around to face Percy and nodded as if to say thank you for walking with me and for agreeing to start school with me. Percy didn't seem to notice my gesture, or that I was blocking the entrance way, because he just walked straight into me. "Um, where are you going?" I asked in confusion. Percy looked at me as if he didn't understand the question. His head turned side to side startled as if he couldn't understand why I wasn't allowing him to come in the cabin-which was against camp rules anyway. "I'm coming inside" he stated as if it were no big deal at all. A strange noise came out of my mouth; half like a laugh, half like a gasp. Percy chuckled lightly. "Let me in" he said. From the left of my cabin, I heard a few Aphrodite kids yell out "Yah, let him in," they chuckled and then made a few other comments and then a kissing face which then resulted in huge outbursts of laughter. I felt the blood rush to my face and I knew I was beat red. I quickly slammed the door in Percy's face and heard a crunch. Was that his nose? I didn't feel like thinking about apologizing, even though Percy hadn't done anything too wrong. He probably just wanted to hang out some more. Great, now he has a bruise on his head and maybe a broken nose too.
I kicked off my shoes and stepped over to my bed so that I could lie down. I felt flattered that Percy liked me, and I was so glad I liked him back. I just wanted to take things slow. I would never be like those Aphrodite girls, or the way their mom wants me to be, but that doesn't mean I can't still be in a relationship I reasoned with myself.
I sat there thinking about that for a moment. Percy was a good guy, regardless of being a dumb seaweed brain sometimes. I have a feeling he has the same hope of taking things slow. After all, we have our whole life to spend together if things worked out. "I hope it does," I said softly out loud. I'd be starting high school with him in just a month, and I'm praying that the way we act around each other stays the same. Being at the same school together is a perfect opportunity to spend time together as normal demigod teenagers-hopefully the demigod part won't cause any trouble.
I closed my eyes and my breathing softened, and before I knew it, I was asleep.
