3.) Annabeth's POV
I was happier than ever having seen Percy again. I hadn't realized till I left school, that I kind of liked him. And now that I have seen him again, he is much more attractive. Not that he wasn't before...
I felt a bit of hope in possibly getting back our friendship, getting back us. I know he liked me when we were in senior year, but I never knew how far he might have liked me. Brotherly sister? Lovers?
I shook my head and sat under a tree. I took out my books and relaxed a bit. I had read through the first paragraph when a falling pen caught my attention.
I looked at it then heard someone say, "Sorry!" I looked around then looked up. I laughed and smiled up at Percy. "What are you doing in a tree?" I asked, not able to stop smiling. He chuckled.
"I have a thing for climbing trees. Plus, there's a really good view." He said. "Wanna join me?" I thought about it then slowly smiled. "Why not." I said.
I got up and he offered his hand. I took it and he pulled me up. He had his other arm around my waist. I settled down on the branch next to him. We looked out at the beautiful field, people learning, some playing football, others on dates.
"It's beautiful up here." He smiled at me and nodded. "I know." I felt so happy, sitting there with him. It was like old times when we would hang out at his place, or go out for ice cream, and when I stayed the nit next to his bed in hospital when he broke his arm when we were twelve.
That was partly because I'm the one who accidentally pushed him off the wall for mocking me. He never did it again though. "Percy." I said, finding my voice.
I felt as thou I had built the courage to tell him how I felt about us. I looked at him and he turned his head to look me in the eye. His sea green eyes, high cheek bones, dimples, messy hair, lop sided grin.
The all made me forget about what I was going to say. My courage was knocked out of me. I gave him a smile and said, "Thanks." He chuckled and smiled at me, his dimples still there.
"For what?" I smiled at his cute expression. "Being there for me." I said. He stred into my eyes for a bit, than looked away. He stared in front of him and slowly smiled. "Thank you for being there for me, even when I irritated you." H said.
We both laughed. I looked at his hand and at mine, and was tempted to intertwine our fingers. But I forgot about it when my iPhone alarm went off. I had another twenty minutes til my next class, but I always liked to get there early.
"I got to go to my lecture." I said, sighing. He nodded and got out the tree. He reached up and held me around the waist. He lowered me out the tree and to the ground. He up pulled his arms from around my waist much too quickly for my liking.
"I'll see you later." I said. He gave me a smile and hugged me. I breathed in his salty scent and went off to my next class. He was indescribably breath taking. He consumed my thoughts. He made his way into my heart.
