Ok there's some percabeth in this chapter.
Chapter 2: My Worst Enemy Becomes My Roommate
"That's what I wanted to hear!" Luke said. He snapped his fingers and all of his soldiers vanished, leaving behind green smoke. The campers below looked around in shock.
"We win!" I heard a camper yell. Cheering erupted from the crowds of campers below.
"Ok Percy, here's how it's going to work." Luke said. "Tomorrow you pack up all your crap. Then you meet me at the camp border the day after." He walked over and pulled me hair so hard I almost cried. "Got it?" he said.
"Yes!" I said, then he let go of my hair.
"Oh, and just so you know, don't try to pull anything because those archers will be watching." Luke said. "Don't let me down Percy." He said while walking away, he then disappeared leaving behind green smoke.
"Damn it!" I said while kicking the railing with my good leg. I thought of what I was going to say to everybody at camp. What was I going to tell Grover and Thalia? But more importantly, what was I supposed to say to Annabeth? I limped over to the railing and threw myself over it. I fell for a few seconds then quickly hit the water and went under. I quickly swam to surface and looked around for a way back up on to the island. Then I noticed the ship sailing toward me. As it got close to me one of the campers threw me a rope. I grabbed it and he pulled me up back on to the boat. As soon as I landed on the deck I felt someone's arms rap around me. It was Annabeth.
"Oh my Gods, Percy!" she said grabbing my bad leg.
"Ow!" I yelled in pain.
"Oh I'm sorry!" she said.
"No I'm ok." I said. "Look." I took one step on my wounded leg and fell.
Chiron came over to me and cut my pants where the arrow was.
"Hold still." Chiron said.
He pulled the arrow right out of my leg and pain shot through my leg.
I screamed and grabbed Annabeth's hand. She squeezed it hard.
"Take him to the ships infirmary; I'll be there in a second." Chiron said.
Annabeth pulled me up and helped me walk to the infirmary. Chiron came in shortly and put some antibiotics on it to keep the wound from getting infected. He then started stitching my leg up. Annabeth was by me the whole time, never letting go of my hand.
After Chiron had left, Annabeth pulled up a chair and sat next to me. She just looked at me and smiled. Whenever I would look at her I would just feel happy.
"How did it happen?" she asked.
I hesitated. I knew I had to lie.
"I was fighting a Minotaur, and an archer shot me in the leg." I said.
"Oh really?" she said.
"What, you don't trust me?" I said.
"No." she said. She smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back.
The trip back to camp took about two hours. When we got back Chiron announced that there was going to be a victory party after dinner. I tried to practice, but thanks to my wounded leg I could barely swing my swing my sword without staggering. I stayed in my cabin for a few hours, thinking joining Luke. I mean it had to be the stupidest thing I had ever done. But if I didn't my friends would be dead, and that would be even worse. And then I thought of Annabeth. She would probably hate me for what I did. This was the last night I would be able to talk to my friends. And it would be my last chance to tell Annabeth how I really feel about her. I then heard music coming from outside. I walked outside to find campers dancing. There were also big crowds of campers standing around talking, and some making chaos. I searched around for my friends, but didn't see them. Then I saw Annabeth. She saw me and waved at me, smiling.
"Feeling better?" she said as she approached me.
"Yes, thanks for asking." I said. "Can we go somewhere and talk?"
"Sure." Annabeth said. We both walked to the big house trying to get out of the way of the campers dancing. We walked up the steps of the big house and stood on the porch.
"What do you want to talk about?" Annabeth said.
"I want to tell you something, because I don't think I'll be able to after tonight." I said.
"Percy, what do you mean?" she said with a worried look on her face.
"Just let me talk for now, ok?" I said.
"Ok, go ahead." Annabeth said.
"Ok well, the first time I ever saw you I thought, "Wow, she is so beautiful." And I thought why you would be looking at me and not some hot dude. And when you would get hurt, I would get so scared because I thought I would loose you. And whenever you would smile at me I would just get so happy, because you would make me feel good even when things got hard. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I love you Annabeth."
She was smiling and she had tears coming down her face.
"I love you, too." Annabeth said. And she put her arms around me and kissed me. We kissed for about thirty seconds, and then we pulled away from each other. She was still crying, so I wiped the tears from her face. She put her arms around me and hugged me. I put my arms around her and hugged her tight.
The next morning I felt terrible. I had packed all my things and started walking towards the camp border. I had left a note for Annabeth telling her I was leaving, but not telling her why. As I wrote the note I started crying. I was going to miss everybody at camp. I didn't even get to say goodbye to Thalia or Grover. As I walked towards the border I started crying again. When I got to the border I saw Luke.
"Ready to go?" he said.
"Yes." I said wiping tears from my face.
"You're going to share a room with me." Luke said. And we started walking off towards the Princess Andromeda.
