Chapter 2: Fun and Torture - Percy's P.O.V

"Well that Cabin Inspection was fun, I can't believe the Hermes Cabin left that spider in the corner though, yuk."

"Aww, my poor Wise Girl. How about we get your mind off of it by doing something fun before we attacked by something, what do you say?"

"I wish I could, but I have to work on some homework."

"Can't you do it later?"

"I would if I could. You'll be fine without me."

*kisses her*

"Come on…"

"Percy I can't! I'm sorry, I hang out with you in a little bit okay? See you later."

*watches her walk away*

Somethings up with her. Usually it works when I kiss her...and normally she skips homework for me! Well that's unfair.

*looks over at a group of Aphrodite's daughter's walking past*

Hmm, well I should give Annabeth a little wake up call.

*walks over to the group and see's Fallon*

"Hey Fallon!"

There Annabeth, you don't want to hang out with me, I'll hang out with someone else.

"Hiya Percy...where's Anniebeth?"

"Annabeth, and she's doing homework. You want to come swimming with me?"

"Sure Fishy Boy," she giggles.

Oh gods, Annabeth has WAYYYY more class then this. But if I'm going to show Annabeth that I can hang out with other people, this is the best way to do it.

"Okay, meet me at the dock in 5 minutes."

"Sure thing Percy," she blows a kiss.

Oh gosh, this is absolutely disgusting.

*runs into Poseidon cabin to get swimming trunks*

"Oh hey Tyson."

"Hi Percy, whatchu lookin for?"

"My swim trunks."
"Going swimming with Annabeth?"

"Nope. Annabeth ditched me for homework, so I'm going swimming with Fallon."

"Aphrodite's daughter?"

"Yep that's the one."

"That isn't smart Percy. Annabeth will feel bad."

"No duh Tyson, that's why I'm doing it."

"You want to make Annabeth feel bad?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Beca-forget it. I'll talk to you later okay?"

"Okay, but, don't be like dad."

*laughs*

"Good one Tyson."

*runs to the dock*

Special, special Tyson. I love him to death but he's so special.

"There you are Percy."

Oh my gosh. She couldn't have picked a better swimsuit? Geez…

"Hi Fallon."

"Can you do a cool show with the water magic for me babes?"

I think I'm going to puke. It's not water magic for goodness sakes.

"Sure, let's jump in."

"WHAT?!"

OW, I think my ear drums just busted!

"I said le-"

"I know what you said but that's crazy. My hair and makeup would get all messed up!"
"So what are we here for? And why are you in a swimsuit?"

"For looks dumbo. And to get an amazing tan."

*facepalms*

I swear to the gods….

"Look Fal-"

"Percy?"

*looks up to see Annabeth standing there with a confused look on her face*

"Annabeth!"

"Annie what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing Fallon. Percy what are you doing here with Fallon?"

"I, um, well-"

"He asked me out on a date since you ditched him for homework. So you can go now Annie."

*Annabeth looks at Percy with such a hurt expression, then turns and stomps away*

"Annabeth! Wai-"

"Don't bother running after her, she's not going to talk to you-"

"Shut up Falon. You're the cause of this!"

"I just told her the truth!"

"No you didn't Fallon! You said we were on a date, this is not a date!"

"Well fine then, be that way Fish Boy."

That-she-UGHH. I better find Annabeth.

*runs through camp yelling Annabeth's name*

Dang it, where is this girl!? Wait, the Athena Cabin is empty right now. She must be in there!

*runs into the Athena Cabin*

"Annabeth I-"

Oh, she's not in here. Dang it where can she be! She wouldn't be in the dining hall, she wasn't in the amphi-theater, um...Athena Parthenos! She must be there!

*runs to the Athena Parthenos to see Annabeth sitting against the statue staring off into space while playing with her necklace*

"Wise girl, there you are oh my gods I've been looking all over for you, I-"

"Why."

Oh shoot. I accepted that she would be crying. A crying Annabeth I can handle. A hard, cold cut off Annabeth no one can handle. Oh gods, I'm dead.

"I was not on a date with Fallon, I swe-"

"Why."

What does she mean why...oh probably why I was with Fallon. Well crap. This could get messy.

"I was hanging out with her because...I was bored."

That seems like a safe enough answer.

"You hesitated. And you could have hung out with Jason, Nico, Will-"

"Okay look, I felt bad that you would rather do homework then hang out with me so I wanted to make you jealous."

Gods, why can't I lie to this girl!

*silence*

Oh shoot, I'm so dead.

"Annabe-"

"Percy just go."

"Wise gir-"

"Just go Percy. I'm not going to say it again."

"Bu-okay."

*gets up and walks back to the Poseidon cabin*

Gods, I screwed up big time. I royally screwed up. Oh dear gods.
