Leadership

"Annabeth?" I groaned. We we're currently in Cabin Three, I was lying on my bunk with my arm thrown over my face, and Annabeth was sitting on the bed opposite mine.

"Hmm?" I glanced over at her a saw her reading a book. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

"Annabeth?" I groaned again, this time stretching her name out longer.

"That's nice Percy." She didn't even look up from the book.

"Annabeth!" I shouted.

"What!?" She asked annoyed, finally looking up from her book.

"Why am I always the one that ends up having to lead?" I glanced over at her and saw a genuinely annoyed look on her face.

"Well did you know," I internally groaned, "In ancient Rome, it was considered a sign of leadership to be born with a crooked nose?"

"Okay what does that have to do with anything?"

"You asked why you we're always made a leader."

"Yeah, but I don't have a crooked nose."

She cocked her head. "Are you sure Percy? It looks pretty crooked to me." I could see her trying hard not to smirk.

"I do not!" I protested.

"I dunno Percy." She said no longer fighting back her smirk.

"Well-" he thought for a moment, "Well you have a crooked nose."

"I'm fine with that, if it means being a leader, and would you look at that I am one."

I groaned into my pillow.

I heard Annabeth get off the other bed, she came over and got right next to my ear, "But if it makes you feel any better, I think your nose is cute." I couldn't help the grin that spread to my face.
