"Percy," she asked. "Will you do something for me?"
"Annabeth," Percy could tell by the look in her eye what she wanted from him. We'll go after school, alright? We'll get everything sorted out." he kissed the top of her forehead, and patted her right side.
"Percy, what if I am?" she whispered, her voice shaking.
He pulled her closer and mumbled into her hair, "We will do whatever it takes to make things right."
"Nothing will ever make it right."
The day seemed to get slower as each minute passed. Annabeth watched the clock tick to the end of the day. She abruptly got up, and swung her bag over her shoulder. Her stomach was in knots, was this the right thing? Was this what I wanted? Without looking at anyone in the hallway, not wanting someone to stop to talk and give her enough time to change her mind, she reached Percy's locker, and grabbed his arm as he closed the locker.
"Percy," she gasped. "Let's go."
"Annabeth," he had to jog to catch up with her. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
She ignored his questioned and continued her march through the school. The endless blur of her classmates, seemed to make the hallway spin, still she continued on. Once they reached Percy's car, she stopped, panting.
"Annabeth, this is crazy."
"I know. I don't want to believe that it's true. It couldn't be, could it?" she looked at him in desperation.
"I don't know. I mean, we were so careful."
"So careful." She repeated. "Something was just wrong with that stupid test. It was the first one I took, and the first ones are never right, right?" She hoped for some kind of assurance from Percy, but he knew that wasn't the case.
"Anna, I just don't know. I just don't. This could be anything you're going through right now. I'm not sure what to think about this whole ordeal." He threw his backpack in the backseat of his car and hopped in. "All I can think is that I want to know what's going on, so get in." Annabeth obeyed and sat in the passenger's seat. She never knew a car ride could feel so long.
