Ok so here's my newest chapter. I woke up SUUUPER early this morning! I wanted to sleep in. Oh well! On with the story!
I saw Percy walking over to me. Then he sat down next to me and we started talking. Then he realized Rachel's endless struggle trying to get into camp.
"What the Hades?" Percy said slowly. I just sat and laughed.
"What the heck is going on?" Percy asked again.
"This has been going on for like half an hour." Percy laughed and I saw pure joy in his eyes.
"You know we're being super mean?" I asked.
"Oh yeah! I realize that." "Let's go check this out!" "Ok!" So we both got up and walked over to the magical border line, and I was about to say something when Percy butt in.
"Why are you here?" he said like he was some sort of brat.
I chuckled.
"I just...-" "Yeah in case you were wondering, camp is for HALF BLOODS ONLY! Not MORTALS!" He said mortals like it was a swear, full of disgust.
"But I just thought-" "Rachel? Either you're lost or you're here to beat my "little friend" to something else. Maybe you should come again at MIDNIGHT and KISS ME AGAIN!"
"I'd like that!" He gave her a look and started to walk away.
"WAIT! PERCY! WAIT!" Rachel desperately cried out.
"What is your problem, Rachel?" "My problem? How about yours?"
"MY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU MADE THE GIRL I CARE MOST ABOUT AND WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR CRY!" he yelled pointing at me. "YOU MADE ME SAY THINGS I DIDN'T MEAN! YOU MADE ME HURT ANNABETH! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
"And where should that be?"
"TARTARUS! KRONOS' ARMY! I DON'T CARE! JUST NOT HERE!"
"But Percy!"
"Rachel, it's time for you to go now," I said saving Percy the work.
Rachel ran off totally confused.
"You didn't have to do that," I told Percy.
"Don't worry! I wanted to!" he said watching Rachel run towards the street.
"You're in some mood this week." "I guess you could say that," he said fired up from yelling. "You don't even feel bad?" "Maybe a little." "I bet she's crying." I knew she was. I had seen tears in her eyes. I kind of felt bad for her. "Let her." "Percy."
"Ok! Fine! I'll tell her I'm sorry!" he said holding up his hands in surrender. "I still don't feel as bad as I did yesterday with you though! And what happened to you? One second you hate her? The next you stand up for her? Gods! I just don't understand girls!" I knew he was talking about our fight, but I didn't say anything. I walked with him to the Big House and sat in on the Iris Message.
"Hi Rachel." "Oh. It's you." "I wanted to say I'm sor- sorr-" he said pretending it was just too hard to say that it wouldn't come out of his mouth. "Percy! Just say it!" I scolded him.
"Rachel, I'm sorry about yelling at you." "Sorry for interrupting camp." "So now we're even." "Yup." "See you next school year, then." "I guess." Percy waved his hand over the message and it disappeared. Then he pretended to choke and I gave him a shove.
"I just don't get it! Why all of a sudden, is it, that you feel the need to stick up for her?" "Because as much as I hate her I know how I felt when we fought so I thought you should apologize." "Ok yeah. I'll give you that." "So what should we do now?" "Eat! Come on! It's lunchtime!"
So we went to lunch and didn't sit together because of the rules. There was that emptiness again. It was filled every time I was with him though. And it still lurked a little when he was talking to Rachel through the Iris Message. What was I going to do?
Will Annabeth FINALLY tell him?
