Annabeth came home and hugged my mom. Then went to our room to get packed, I sat on my bed eating off a plate of blue cookies that Annabeth and I were sharing. It wasn't till she sat down beside me that I really got a hello from her.
"I missed you." She said wrapping her hands around my torso and putting her head in the crook of my neck. I put one of my arms around her shoulder.
"Hey Annabeth guess what happened?"
"Did a monster attack you?" she asked worried
"No, no it's… nothing like that. It's just that a rumor started at school." I said wondering how she will take this.
"The rumor started because Hannah one of Ashley's friends was here to see her grandma and when you ran out of the apartment. Apparently you looked pissed. Then the next day I was tired because I had some nightmares and people were whispering to each other that I "hadn't gotten any sleep since she left". The rumor was that we had broken up and that I didn't sleep I was so upset." I told her. For a second she looked shocked and that she was going to hurt someone or something. Ten she burst out laughing and I couldn't help but started to laugh too. My mom came in to tell us that we should get going so that we could make it to camp before lunch and found us still laughing.
Half an hour later we were in my corvette driving to camp. It was one of our care free moments, I had the radio turned up and the windows down and everything was good. Annabeth and I are singing at the top of our lungs to Inner Ninja and laughing, just having a good time forgetting about school and Olympus. Finally I pulled into the parking lot we convinced Chiron to let us build as we all got cars. A lot of the summer kids got cars that way we could drive back to camp whenever we want. As soon as I packed the car next to Jason's we were out.
"Hey Percy?" Annabeth said like a question
"Yes Annabeth." I responded getting our bags from the back of the car
"Well I was wondering" she said grabbing her back pack and slinging it over her shoulder, while I put my bag on too
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to race into camp?" she asked backing towards the hill slowly
"Oh sort of like coming in the same way we went out?" a asked walking towards her at the same speed
"One, two three!" she yelled and took off running up the hill. I sprinted after her laughing. I ran up behind her and rapped my arms around her waist. I then lifted her up and spun around until I got dizzy and fell. Our training keeps us from breaking anything as we fall laughing and rolling down the hill. We came to a stop at the bottom of the hill when a shadow fell over us.
"Look who's here. It's the love birds." Clarisse said laughing at our antics
"How are you Clarisse?" I asked getting up and giving Annabeth a hand up.
"I'm good. What are you guys doing here? Don't you have school?" she said well we all walked towards camp.
"Ya we do but something went down while I was at Olympus-witch this seaweed brain still hasn't told me about-and it was stressing him out so Sally is letting us skip school for the week to have a break." Annabeth answered
"Annabeth! Percy!" we here a girls voice say. We turned towards the big house and saw Piper and Jason coming out.
"Piper, Jason" Annabeth and I said at the same time. Annabeth ran over and gave Piper a hug while Jason and I did a bro hug thing. Then we switched and I gave Piper a hug and Annabeth gave Jason a hug.
"How have you guys been?" I asked as we all walked toward the cabins
"We are good, it's kind of weird being in new Rome but everyone is nice. I miss camp though, it's like everyone is so strict there. It's nothing like the family style chaos here though." she said making us all laugh we came to the cabins and split up to get un-packed.
"See you guys later. We will all have to meet up and do something after lunch during our free time." Jason said walking towards Zeus's Cabin.
