"Great. Now where am I supposed to go?" I muttered to myself. Percy's house was where I was going to be staying. I kicked the rocks as I walked to the park. Why did Emily have like Percy? You want to know why? Because he is so irresistible that's why.
I was swinging softly letting the tears fall when I hear my name being called. "Annabeth!" I turned to see Percy running towards me. I quickly wiped away the tears.
"Gods, Annabeth. I am so stupid. No wonder why you were so mad. It's our one year anniversary, and my birthday, but who cares about my birthday. All I care about is you. Annabeth-I – I – I love you." Percy said panting his green eyes shining with tears.
By that time I was crying hard. He said it! Oh my gods. He said he loved me. I jumped off the swing and hugged him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "I love you too." He kissed me and I of course kissed him back because you know who wouldn't kiss their insanely hot boyfriend, but anyways it wasn't hot and heavy. It was sweet and short. Just the way I liked it.
"C'mon. Let's go eat some McDonald's." Percy said while grinning. He held my hand and pulled me with him in the direction of his house.
"Isn't McDonald's that way?" I asked pointing to the left. We were going to the right.
"Yes, but were taking my car." He said smugly. I rolled my eyes. Oh gods. When we got in I changed the radio to 96.1.
"Hey, what happened to Emily?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, I told her to go home. She didn't fight it though. She really is a good friend. You should try to get to know her." He said.
"Maybe she is nice to you, but I don't like her. Now come on! We've been sitting in the parking lot for like five minutes and people are starting to look at us funny." I laughed.
We got out and went inside. To mine and Percy's surprise, we found the gang there.
"Hey guys. Whatcha doin?" I asked skipping over there.
"Oh we were just-"Clarisse went pink. We looked up and saw Bryce, Clarisse's ex-boyfriend. They stared at each other for a moment then she continued. "We were just leaving." She got up and walked out. Definitely weird.
"Well bye guys." Percy said. They all waved.
"What do you think is going on with Clarisse?" I asked. Percy shrugged.
"I don't know but let's talk about us." He said. Uh oh. That doesn't sound good…
"I love you Annabeth. I really want you to know that. And to prove it to you, I bought you this promise ring." I opened my mouth in shock. A promise ring? He slipped it on my finger. It was silver and had a little wish box on it. I leaned over the table and kissed him.
"I love it!" I sqealed. We stayed there just catching up on what happened while I was gone. I found out he got a car because he got an A on a major test. I found out that Percy's mom got pregnant, but lost the child. I found out so much and I realized I missed him so much.
"Lets go. I'm getting tired." He said. We bought milkshakes and left.
"Percy, I missed you a lot when I was gone." I said quietly.
"I missed you too, Annabeth." He said.
When we got all ready for bed I kissed him and whispered into his ear making him shiver, "Happy Birthday seaweed brain." I handed him his present and went to sleep.
