Hey guys! I'm back and ready to go. So I told you I wanted to be back up and writing new chapters next week but I don't think I can. See my god mother died and I relay need to be there. I could give you all a huge story on why I can't write but if I am honest I might right more. Who knows some people do different things to cope with being sad and one of my ways is escaping to book and writing so you might get no chapters this week or you might get a ton. Just wanted to let you guys know because I feel everyone reading this is a friend. Friends may not always agree but they share something and we all share the love of Percy. Also please review I need to know how everyone feels about the rewriting of these chapters.
The next week wen by fast, Annabeth and I had so much fun doing things we never got to do as a couple at camp. We went for a walk in central park, walked around town without a care in the world.
My one favorite was when we went to a dance in the park. It was once of Rachel's fundraisers for the kids art. The theme was art so Annabeth and Rachel went shopping together the day after my birthday. I had nothing else to do since I hadn't had time to talk to any of my mortal friends I came with them. The girls each got a sundress with matching shoes (Annabeth called them ballet flats). Annabeth got a grey dress and Rachel got a green dress well they got me a green shirt saying I had to wear black dress shoes.(Rachel said they were matching outfits to eye colour). We then went back to Rachel's house, our plan to have the most original outfits there. Rachel went into her supply room and came back out with white sheets and a tone of different colours of paint. We set up three tarps one on the floor in the corner and two on the adjoining walls. We then use paint and splattered it all over the dresses and my top. Let's just say we won the best dressed award.
One of my favorite that I will remember forever was when we were in town not far from my apartment the last day before was a hot day and the cars don't help the heat so we decided to go soft serve get ice cream. We sat on the curb to eat it and being a guy I couldn't help it. I might have pushed her ice cream into her face.
"You want to go Seaweed Brain?" she asked me holding her ice cream like it was a weapon.
"Any time anyplace Wise Girl." I said back dead serious holding my ice cream out. And with that we were off. I took off dogging people on their way back to work from taking a lunch break. I was laughing and I could hear Annabeth was too.
"Come back here and fight me you coward!" I heard her yell at me. I saw people look at us like we were crazy but hey we are half Greek God. You get used to people thinking you are crazy.
"Never!" I yell back running to the edge of the park and hiding in the bushes. I could see Annabeth come to the entrance of the park and stop looking for me. I could see her grey convers and her orange camp shirt through the bush I was waiting in. my plan was to sneak up behind her after she passed me.
"If I was a Seaweed Brain, where would I hide and what would try to do?" I heard her say to herself. She disappeared from my line of sight. I listened trying to hear her but I couldn't, stupid training. I backed up and spun around as quite as I could. Unfortunately Annabeth knew where I was and I turned into her ice cream.
"You have something to say to me Seaweed Brain?" she asked pointing her melting weapon at my face. I knew what she was doing; it was once conversation we would never ever forget. So I played along.
"You'd probably kick my butt." I said with a smile putting my weapon up.
"You know I'd kick your butt." She said laughing and I was laughing too. With that we started fighting. We must have looked strange, teenagers using ice cream as a weapon and using advanced fighting moves. By the time our weapons melted we were all sticky.
"Truce, truce!" I said putting my hands in the air
"Good I'm all sticky. Let's go back to the apartment." she said grabbing my hand
Later that night we were getting ready for school the next day, getting our bags ready and setting out our clothes, I was going in jeans and a blue t-shirt well Annabeth was in a grey sun dress with a blue hair clip and ballet fats, she also had her silver owl earrings and the owl holding a trident charm bracelets I had some Hephaestus kids help me will with. It was 10:30 when we got into bed
"Night seaweed brain, I love you" Annabeth said
"Night Wise Girl, I love you too" and with that I fell asleep to the sounds of Annabeth's deep breathing.
I woke up at about 3:00 am to someone screaming. It took about two seconds to realise it was Annabeth from the bed above me. I jumped out of bed and climbed up, I sat by her head and pulled her into my lap well stroking he hair. When she came out of it she snuggled closer to me and sobbed into my chest. The sad thing about it is that this had become routine since we got back from Tartarus. All I could do for her was comfort her and whisper in her ear that I was ok and we were safe, not many people how badly it affected her only her siblings and me. when we first got back she would sleep in her cabin but every night she would wake up screaming and wakening up all her siblings, then after about a week once all her brothers and sisters were asleep she would sneak over to my cabin and sleep in my bed with me so she always knew I was ok.
At some point we fell asleep because my mom came in to get us up at 7:30 and found me sitting in her bunk with her sitting in my lap and her head in the crock of my neck. We were scared she would be mad but I don't think my mom cared, then she probably herd Annabeth scream last night.
We got dressed in different rooms grabbed our bags and ran down to the kitchen where we could smell food cooking. When we came in Paul was sitting at the table going over lesion plans well my mom made her blue waffles. Annabeth and I sat down and each took two waffles out of the stack and happily ate them down. Before we knew it was time to meet Rachel at the subway.
"Annabeth we're going to be late" I said jumping up and getting my lunch
"Thanks for the waffles sally, see you at school Paul" Annabeth said grabbing her lunch. Together we ran out the door grabbing our bags on the way and racing down to the subway.
Once on the way to school were all laughing and talking about the different pranks the Stoles played and different thing that have been going on since they found me at camp Jupiter. And as we walked up the steps of Goode all I could think was that this was going to be the best last first day.
