Hey guys! here's another chapter! sorry it's kinda no that good, but I'll try to make the next one better! I don't own PJO! Or these songs!
I found Savannah in her bunk absentmindedly drawing in her notebook and listening to her Ipod.
"Whatcha doin?" I asked her.
She glanced up and blushed. She covered her drawing with her arm and took out her ear-phones.
"Nothing."
"Right."
She closed her notebook and jumped from the bed.
"What are we doing today?" she asked.
"Percy and I thought you'd just like to relax today. So we decided to give you the day off so we could just hang out and get to know each other better."
"Ok."
"Yeah. Let's go. Percy wants us to meet him at the beach."
Five minutes later we were sitting in the sand, waiting for Seaweed Brain.
I leaned back and closed my eyes, letting the sun shine down on me.
"So why do you call Percy 'Seaweed Brain'?" Savannah asked.
I opened my eyes. "Why don't I call him Seaweed Brain?"
We looked at each other and busted out laughing.
We were practically rolling in the sand when Percy showed up.
"Are you two okay?" he asked.
"Of course, Seaweed Brain," I said. Then, Savannah and I burst into more giggles.
Percy looked at us like we were crazy. Then he sat down beside me.
Savannah and I wouldn't stop laughing. It was uncontrollable. We just couldn't stop!
Then, before I knew it, I was soaked.
"What the freak?" Savannah cried.
I could only look at my dripping wet self in shock.
"SEAWEED BRAIN!" I practically yelled. Okay, I did yell.
"Yes, Wise-Girl?" Percy blinked up at me in innocence.
"Dry me!"
"Nah."
"Perseus Jackson…" I warned.
"Oooh! First and last name usage. I like it."
"Percy!"
"What?"
I raised my eyebrow and crossed my arms.
"I'm sorry," I said in a calmer voice. "Now please dry me."
"Sure," Percy said. He grabbed my hand and I was instantly dry.
"Thanks."
"Don't mention it." his hand stayed there a split second longer than it should have.
"Um, hello? Girl still wet over here."
"Oh. Sorry!" Percy reached over and grabbed Savannah's arm and dried her.
"Thanks."
We sat there for awhile in comfortable silence. Savannah left, claiming she wanted to go talk to some other girls. Then, Percy stood up.
"Did you hear?" he asked.
"What?" I asked.
"There's going to be a campfire tonight. The Apollo cabin are planning it all out." he told me. "It's going to be in honor of Savannah."
I smiled. "That's nice."
I didn't realize that Percy had pulled me up, too and that we were walking down the beach.
"I'm glad they're really accepting her. She's so much unlike a regular child of Athena."
"I think I like that about her," Percy said. I tripped over a rock and fell forward. Percy caught me before I hit another rock. "Walk much, Wise-Girl?"
"Haha. Very funny. Now, what do you like about Savannah?" I asked.
Percy shrugged. "I don't like her, like her. But, I like that's she's an individual. She's a daughter of Athena for sure, but I think she's really got her own personality."
I had never heard Seaweed Brain say something so profound.
It caused me to nearly trip again, but I balanced myself.
"I think you're right."
Percy stopped. "Woah. Back up. What did you just say?"
"I said that you're right." I rolled my eyes.
"Annabeth? You okay? You sure you're not sick or anything?" he asked. He put his hand to my forehead, but I slapped it away.
"I'm not sick. Now quit that," I said.
"Then, I'm not sure I heard you right? Please repeat that."
"I said that you're right!"
He began to clap. "Never knew this day would come, did you Wise-Girl?"
I punched him lightly in the arm. "Oh, shut up. But you are. She's different. And I think that's why everyone likes her."
Later that evening, they did have a campfire just for Savannah. I could tell Savannah was surprised by the way she blushed and looked nervous.
The Apollo kids did the usual camp songs, but then they decided to change it up a little.
Suzie, a daughter of Apollo, picked up a guitar and began to strum it.
"Love," she sang. "Love, love, love."
Then, Savannah joined in. "It's not like I've never been hurt."
"I can't count the times I've been wrong."
"I know how it feels to be broken." Savannah had an amazing voice.
"I haven't found the one that's perfect."
"God knows I've been so close."
"And that's what keeps me hoping."
Then they sang together, "I don't know how to hold back, I don't know how to slow down, I don't need doubt to come and bring me down. Say I'm just a fool for always falling, always falling."
"Say my heart won't last if it keeps falling, always falling," Savannah was owning it. Everybody was smiling and clapping along. "Yeah, yeah. If love's a drug, I need it. Just like a rush gotta feel it. Never want to stop believing. Long as I'm alive, I'm dreaming love, love, love."
"So I close my eyes and jump in, before I measure the fall. Can't get enough of that feeling," Suzie picked right back up again.
"And I still want the fairy tale ending, I'll never settle for less, what good is living with regrets?" Savannah sang.
Then they picked back up on the chorus again, this time all together.
"I don't know how to hold back, I don't know how to slow down, I don;t need doubt to come and bring me, bring me down." Suzie sang.
"Say I'm just a fool for always falling, always falling. Say my heart won't last if it keeps falling, always falling. Yeah!"
"If love's a drug I need it, just like a rush. Never want to stop believing, long as I'm alive I'm dreaming," Suzie sang.
"Love, love love," Savannah finished. We all clapped and they stood up and bowed and they hugged each other.
She came to sit by me again.
"What's that song called?" I asked her.
" 'Dreaming Love'," she said.
I couldn't stop the slight flush of my cheeks. I glanced over at Percy and he was doing the same. Savannah had this dreamy look in her eyes.
I nudged Percy. "So, are you dreaming love, Savannah?"
She jumped slightly. "No. Course not."
"Right."
Savannah decided to change the subject. "So, Percy. Any one you dreaming about?"
She glanced at me.
"What?" I asked her.
Percy blushed.
"Right," Savannah turned away with a satisfied smile.
"What happened?" I asked her.
"Nothing."
I looked at Percy. "I don't get it."
He laughed lightly. "It's okay, Annabeth. You don't have to get it."
I sat there.
"Say I'm just a fool for always falling." Percy stated.
"Huh?"
He smiled at me and got up and walked away.
"I still don't get it."
