Chapter 8:: Annabeth.
I hear Percy shout from the bathroom. I walk to the door and press my ear to it.
"Woah! Woah! I'm 15… You're like 18!" Percy yells.
"I-I know…" Bella mumbled. "I'm sorry… I don't know what I was thinking… My mind told me to."
"Bella..." Percy sighs. "That doesn't make very sense," he says.
"I'm sorry." I see the doorknob turn slowly and I begin to panic.
"Bella, wait!" Percy called to her.
The doorknob stops turning. "What?" she asked.
"I-I thought you loved Edward." The statement sounded more like a question.
"I do. I do. Percy, if you were me you'd understand. But you're not me so don't try to understand." Bella's voice sounded sort of harsh and cold.
"You're right… I probably will never understand, Bella. But there's lots of things nobody understands about me but I don't go around kissing other girls," Percy says.
"Yeah…I know. Sorry." The doorknob turns again. My heart is racing. I don't want to get caught eavesdropping! I'll seem like a weird, freakish, jealous stalker.
That's all I need.
Suddenly the doorknob isn't moving. Why isn't the doorknob moving? Is Bella already our here! Am I already caught?
Wait…
Think logically, Annabeth. Don't let Percy Jackson get inside your head.
I know! I know! But I can't help it…I feel…So in love with him!
NO YOU DON'T ANNBETH CHASE!
YEAH! I DO!
NO!
"BWAAAH!" I shout. I cover my mouth quickly.
Smooth, Annabeth. Smooth.
I hear dead silence.
Open the door, Annaaaaa.
NO!
You knooowww youuuu waaaaannt to!
No… I DO NOT!
Just open the door!
I'm not gonna open the friggin' door!
OPEN THE DOOR!
My mind argues too much.
"Fine," I whisper.
I slowly open the door a crack to see what is happening.
Bella and Percy are hugging…Why are they hugging?
I fling the door open. "What are you guys doing!" I shout.
They push away from each other. "Nothing," Percy said.
"Yeah! You were! Bella's got a boyfriend, Percy Jackson!" I yell.
"Bella, can I talk to Annabeth alone?" Percy asked, scooting Bella out the door.
"Yes," Bella says walking out the door and closing it behind her.
"What's wrong with you, Annabeth?" he demands.
"What's wrong with you, going around romantically hugging other people's girlfriends?" It sounds like I just threw out a bunch of random words that sounded horrible together.
"I wasn't 'romantically hugging' her!" he shouts, making quotations with his fingers.
"Yes…I saw you," I said.
"She kissed me. 'Kay? I felt bad for her so I gave her a hug. Not romantically, but friendly," he stated.
"Mhm. Yeah right you man-slut," I spat.
"Man-slut? What? Annabeth , what's your deal?" Percy ask.
"Nothing," I say, turning away from him.
"Yes…there is something more than nothing! And you know what I say, nothing is something and you're most certainly thinking of something not nothing !" Percy says.
"WHAT?"
"You're jealous, Annabeth Chase! Admit it! You're J-E-A-L-O-U-S!" he sings.
"No! I'm not!" I cry.
"Yes you are! Why are you so afraid to admit it?" he laughs.
"Fine! I am! Happy?" I feel the tears form in my eyes.
Don't cry Annabeth! Keep it together!
"What?" Percy seemed stunned I actually admitted it.
"I guess I'm stupid. Because… Percius Jackson…I love you."
Percy looks like he's about to fall over.
What did you do!
I have no clue….
Percy gulps and swallows.
"Holy shi.."
I interrupt him with a kiss.
