Hi everyone,
I am so super excited because even though I just posted this story about two days ago I already have four reviews, five follows and two favourites!
I got some very good advice (cough cough BlueDecembers19 cough cough) and as thanks to everyone I made a long chapter for you all. So here you go and thank- you again!
Annabeth
He was gorgeous. He was tall and muscular; he had messy black hair that was almost begging for you to run your fingers through it. His eyes were beautiful, a beautiful combination of greens. They were like the ocean, green and glistening.
Sally grinned at both of us, "Percy this is Annabeth, Annabeth, Percy. Percy I was just talking to Annabeth and she would be perfect for you! I know you were looking for a girlfr-"
"MOM!" Percy yelled he was bright red and I could feel my cheeks burning too.
Sally laughed nervously, "Well, I have to go get myself some lunch I am starving! Percy maybe you could introduce Annabeth to a few of your friends."
She walked off and left the two of us alone.
Percy shifted awkwardly from foot to foot, "Sorry about that, she is the most embarrassing parent in the world!"
I laughed, "At least she hasn't ballet danced in front of your entire school."
His eyes widened, "Your mom did that?"
"Nope, my Dad" I grimaced.
Percy laughed, "Come on, I will introduce you to my friends. Up here." He pointed to the roof of the gardeners shed. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion for a millisecond but he caught it and laughed, "Here I will help you get up." But I was already at the top. He looked impressed, "Not bad!" I smiled victoriously.
When Percy got to the roof he introduced me to everyone. Silena had long brown hair cascading down her shoulders, her eyes were blue. She was tall like a model and she was beautiful! Her boyfriend Beckendorf was quite handsome; he was tall with dark hair and dark eyes. The other girl Rachel (who was giving me strange looks) had frizzy, red hair and green eyes. Her clothes were splattered with paint and she looked like the artsy type. Grover was a similar height to me; he seemed shy and awkward, but sweet. His hair was curly and brown, his eyes were brown too. In the corner Percy's two cousins Thalia and Nico were arguing, they both were wearing black clothes almost punk rock style, Nico was short maybe about 14 or 15 with dark hair, dark eyes and pale skin. Thalia had jet black hair like Nico to go with the whole punk rock theme, but it was her eyes that ruined the image. They were a startling electric blue, the stood out. She had a spray of freckles across her nose and was very pretty.
I smiled awkwardly at everyone and sat down next to Percy. Rachel smiled at me; she was no longer giving me strange looks.
Rachel cleared her throat, "So… do you and Percy know each other from home in New York? And… ummm… Are you guys dating?"
My eyes widened, "What no! We just met!" I was bright red and Percy was exactly the same. Rachel looked relieved, she must really like him.
Selina sat up and started playing with her boyfriend's hair and laughed, "Well you should be you guys look adorable together." And here I was thinking my face couldn't get any redder.
Thalia stood up, "Leave them alone Silena. Hey Annabeth, how long have you been here and how long are you staying for?"
"I just got here and I am staying for a month and a half, almost the whole summer."
Thalia smiled, "I bet you don't know your way around yet, come with me I will show you around." She stood up, did a very rude gesture to Nico and held out a hand for me. I took it reluctantly and stood up. She jumped from the roof to the ground and I followed (well I climbed down).
Thalia showed me around the hotel, it was massive! The library was by far my favourite room; it wasn't part of the main building but separate in an old church. The architecture was amazing! With tall pillars and gothic arches. There was a variety of books from my favourite architecture to fiction such as Harry Potter or the Hunger Games
After the tour, we headed to the buffet for lunch. "We usually sit here," Thalia said motioning to a massive table were a few people I didn't know were sitting. "But you can sit with your family if you want."
I searched the room for my family, when I finally spotted them they were already eating and laughing, they appeared to not even know I was missing. Thalia followed my gaze to their table, "But… you're always welcome with us."
I smiled, "Yes please."
Percy
By the time I got to lunch, the table was almost full. Leo had been with his family for a day out and Piper and Jason had been off… together. Jason's shirt was crinkled as evidence of what they had been doing.
I got my food and went and sat down next to Thalia and Annabeth, "How was your tour? Do you like the hotel?"
Annabeth nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, it was amazing; my favourite room is definitely the library!"
"Well you had better watch out for old Mr D!" Leo called out from across the table, "He is the Hotel manager and he likes to patrol the hotel and check out everyone's doing the right thing. He always tries to catch us on the roof. He has seen us a few times but has no proof to show Chiron the owner."
Piper nodded, "Yeah, but Chiron's pretty nice so I doubt he would do anything too drastic."
We continued talking and laughing all lunch about our experiences with Mr D. Annabeth fit right in laughing and teasing us, by the end of lunch I felt like she had been friends with all of us for years.
When we were all getting up to go I asked the others if they wanted to come to the beach.
"Ooooh, yes! It's the perfect day for the beach. But someone had better find Frank and Hazel!" Silena gushed.
"And Juniper." Grover added hastily. He had a monster of a crush on that girl!
"Piper and I will go find them because we already have our swimmers on the rest of you go and get changed we will meet at the beach in an hour." Jason took Piper's hand and led her off.
"Okay well I guess we had better go and get changed then." I told everyone, "See ya!" I ran off to my hotel room.
When I got there Mom and Paul were there eating dinner. "Hey Percy." They chorused.
"Hey, I'm going down to the beach with a bunch of my friends. Is that okay?" I asked them.
"Will Grover be there?" My mom asked. My mom loved Grover, she thought he was very responsible and as long as he was there I would be sensible.
I nodded and she smiled, "Well okay but be back before 10:00."
I was heading off to get changed and she called down the hall, "Percy! Is Annabeth going?" She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. What did she mean; I stared at her blankly until it suddenly dawned on me.
I groaned, "Yes, mom now could you please go back to your dinner and stop playing match maker!"
Annabeth
It wasn't difficult convincing my parents to let me go out, they didn't even give me curfew!
When I was getting ready I decided on wearing my cobalt blue full piece swim suit. It had a tie around the neck and a bikini back. I had bought it with my own money and I loved it. Over the top I put on a loose singlet top and some denim shorts. I slipped my feet into some gladiator style sandals and tied my hair into a loose messy bun; I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked pretty good even if I do say so myself. I just hoped Percy would think the same. Wait! What? No pretend I didn't say anything! I barely knew him, of course he was incredibly good looking with his beautiful sea green eyes and how his hair fell over his eyes and okay time to stop Annabeth!
When I got to the beach almost everyone was there. "Oh my god, you look gorgeous!" Silena ran over to me. I blushed slightly but smiled, "Thanks."
Nico was staring at me with a slight smile on his face which made me uncomfortable but I smiled at everyone, "Well are we going swimming or what?"
Several cheers escaped people's mouths and everyone ran to the water. I pulled of my clothes (I had swimmers underneath remember?) and looked up to see Percy grinning at me, "Hey."
I smiled back at him, "Hey."
Percy held out his hand and I took it and he lead me to the water, slightly away from everyone else. "Can you swim?" He asked me cocking his head slightly which was very cute ugh I have to stop doing that. "Of course," I laughed and jumped into the water, he followed.
When I surfaced I couldn't see Percy anywhere, "Percy? Perc- aaaaahhhh" something grabbed my ankle and pulled me under. I held my breath and opened my eyes; a dark shadow darted in my peripheral vision. I spun around to see Percy grinning at me. I laughed, well more like I made a sound and bubbles escaped my mouth. He pulled me to the top of the water and smirked, "I scared you didn't i?"
I crossed my arms, "No I just didn't know you where you were."
He stuck out his tongue and said stubbornly, "Whatever you say…"
Percy
Annabeth and I had a great time in the water, after 20 or so minutes Leo called out to everyone, "Come on we are going to play a game!"
I turned to Annabeth and groaned, "If Leo says we are playing a game it is never good!"
She smiled, "Come on lets go see what it is." She dragged me towards the others.
So how is that for everyone? I hope it was okay, I will try to update again next week. But it is kind of difficult because I have exams coming up so I have to study. Boring huh? Yeah, I thought so too.
Well anyway au revoir,
