Hey everybody! I still feel so bad for not updating for so long; but please review! I was super busy with exams and stuff; finally over with that! Please review, and let's get on to the story! :D
Annabeth POV:
Asking me whether or not I am frightened of Percy is quite…a good question. If I had to answer that, I would probably say a little. Not because he can control water; it's just because of his eyes that stare deep into to your soul, ready to shred you to pieces. That's the only part that scares me of Percy. But he's my crush. I want to think him towards the new light; where I can see him only as an ordinary popular village boy, then a bloodthirsty, water controlling demon. I want to think Percy more than just a monster; I want to think as my friend.
I like Percy; but I decided that his heart is still with Rachel. I can never change that. All my job is left to do is save my friend and begin a new life. I shouldn't meddle into his love life; I think because I was in that treehouse, he began to crumble with Rachel. I think because of me…because of me…maybe…I was the cause of their happy love life.
Forget him Annabeth. You're not worth it, and you can't love Percy. All you're going to do is break his heart.
And I realized that I have been doing that. I want to change that, and become a better me. I want to break away the past and go to the future. And lastly, I want to act only as Percy's friend, not his crush.
I'm not doing this because I'm terrified of his eyes as a monster.
I'm doing this because it's my duty to make his life better.
Percy POV:
Days passed, and Annabeth became nicer. But…unlike those caring eyes that was truly with me, she started to look friendlier and more…just a little…distant. Like I don't know, I can just see the ways she just tries to go away from me. She doesn't blush anymore, and she seems as if…I don't know…
She's just acting different.
I can't help but say that. She's concentrated more on her martial arts; she just devises plans without making a full conversation with me; and when we eat, she eats silently. When I put up a conversation with her, she gives me a smile, makes a short answer, and starts wandering her eyes off to the river or the trees.
And that's exactly what is happening now.
"So Annabeth," I said. "Are you done with your plan?"
"Yeah," she said, smiling, and started to look at the dirt. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore.
"Why do you keep looking at dirt? Why do I feel like you're avoiding me?"
She stares at me, her smile fading.
"I'm not avoiding you," she said, her grey eyes staring at mine with no care or love. It was just a normal stare that never intrigued me. It was like the rest of the girls that seemed to just mind their own businesses.
"You are. I sense it. I FEEL it," I replied back, making her put the leftover fish down.
"Percy, stop thinking stupidly. I really am not avoiding you. I just have many things ahead of me," she said, and stared off.
"But you don't talk to me! Was it because of the time in the water?" I asked, letting her eyes quickly gaze at mine.
"No. That's the past. I'm over with it," she said.
"It probably is, huh?" I asked, and she finally stood up.
"It's not okay?" she said a little irritated. "Why don't you just mind your own business?"
"Why, do you want to leave me?" I asked, making her stop in my tracks.
"Percy-,"
"Why? Are you terrified because I'm a monster?"
"I'm not-,"
"Am I that stupid to you? I know you're avoiding me. And I now can see why; because I'm a monster!"
"Will you shut up?" Annabeth asked, staring at me with mean eyes.
"You know what? I'm going-,"
"HEY!" Annabeth said, her arms crossed.
"I don't need you Annabeth! I should've thought more about trusting you. All you were was just like the rest; girls that are afraid!"
And I dove in the water, and swam miles till I went to shore, breathing and laying down.
Why do I have to be a monster?
Annabeth POV:
Okay, I'll admit I was avoiding him.
But that is seriously not because he's a monster! I'm serious; why would I be that brutal? I think Rachel's doing was wrong!
It's just that I wanted to be a friend. He's not used to my friend thing. I'm cool about things; I keep conversations short, and I'm just you know…distracted.
And he won't understand that! As I walked with all my ammo, I hear a voice shout, "Annabeth!"
I turn around, seeing Luke.
"LUKE-,"
And he grabbed my wrists and kissed me.
I first was going to pull away and slap him, because he was only my friend. He's like my big brother, and that was seriously all I was going to consider him as. But thinking of Percy made me angry. I can kiss Luke if I want! He's not even my real brother! Plus, he's a gentleman! He can be the perfect guy for me! Why was I blinded with Percy? Why was I this stupid to follow him on such quest? Why can't I start liking Luke?
He pulled away, stared at me, and smirked. But the thing that made me so sad was that I was seeing Percy.
Luke was technically my first kiss.
But why am I waiting for the lips of a sea-green eyed demon?
Percy POV:
My heart broke into a thousand pieces when I saw a blonde haired guy kiss Annabeth. I realized that I should apologize; maybe that's not what she meant! Maybe it was because she was stressed out! But I realized once I saw him kiss her was that…
Maybe she moved on to another guy.
But why am I right now thinking this as sort of a relationship? Why am I even thinking about her? Why am I foolish enough to sort out a plan just for Annabeth for apologizing for my quick actions?
And why am I wanting to be the replacement of that blonde haired supposedly called "hero" for Annabeth?
I know I made a huge dilemma start; I will update today again; please review! :D
Tell me if I put a lot of emotion to it!
Anyways, please review! :D
