Percy
The summer flew by while I was at camp. I loved teaching classes and working with the children. The kids at camp were all really nice and easy to work with. They had fun in the workshops and really wanted to learn something. Which is why Annabeth and I had fun teaching them. We were becoming a really good team.
On our last day, Annabeth and I were lying in the sand on the shore. We had done this a lot, ever since Annabeth had read a book at the beach one day and I´d pushed her over, causing her to fall into the sand. She had then Judo flipped me and we had both fallen into the sand and laughed.
Annabeth had been telling me a lot about her and I´d told her everything about me. Now we just talked about weird things and made up scenarios. "What would you do if you were invisible?" she asked. "Play pranks on people without taking the blame." I answered. "If you had 1 wish, what would it be?" I asked. "A thousand more wishes." She said. "That´s cheating." I told her. "Whatever, seaweedbrain. If you could move to any country where would you go?" She asked. "Well, probably Australia." Annabeth stared at me. "Why would you go to Australia?" she sounded kind of offended. "It´s warm, it´s beautiful... Why wouldn´t you?" I said. "There are so many spiders and they´re all poisonous." She really had a thing about spiders. A week ago I´d come into the counsellor cabin to find Annabeth screaming at a Spider on the other side of the room. I smiled at the memory and got up. I held my hand out to Annabeth and helped her up. "Guess it´s time to go." I said. She nodded. "We´d better get packing."
After 20 minutes we had finished packing our bags and cleaned our cabin. We gathered our paperwork from the desk and made our way to the big house. The campers were saying goodbye to their friends and ran to the cars waiting outside the camp. Chiron was waiting for us in the big house. We handed over our reports and said goodbye. He wished us all the best for the next school term and we told him to call us next year so we could come back. He agreed and said goodbye. Annabeth and I said goodbye and strolled toward the camp exit. She talked about the classes she took and I told her which classes I was taking. Turns out we have English together. I hate English. Annabeth spotted her parents´ car and hugged me. "I´ll see you around." I said. She nodded and walked over to the car. I saw that her friend Thalia was driving. Annabeth waved as she passed me and I waved back but she was already gone.
Ten minutes later, Piper pulled up in my mum´s car. "Get in loser." She ordered. "Nice to see you too. I missed you so much Pipes." I said sarcastically. "Hey, you´ve got to give me some credit for driving here to pick you up!" she said. "Thank you so much your highness!" I said and rolled my eyes.
Back home Piper asked me if I wanted to go over to Jason, Annabeth and Thalia for dinner. "Sure" I said so we left and went over.
Annabeth opened the door as we rang the doorbell. Piper said hi and walked in. I looked at Annabeth for a moment. She was wearing a black sundress and a grey cardigan. Her blonde curls were tumbling over her shoulders. She looked seriously beautiful. "Were you planning on coming in or do you wanna stare a bit more?" Annabeth asked. I looked up "I, ... Oh, uhm sorry. You look gorgeous." I stumbled and she smiled. "Thanks, seaweedbrain. C´mon now." She went in and I followed her. In the living room, Jason and Piper were sitting on the couch while Thalia was in the kitchen. Jason said hi as we came in. Thalia yelled a hello. I greeted them and sat down on the couch next to Piper. Annabeth sat down in an armchair. Jason started talking about things he wanted to do this summer. He was mainly talking to Piper. I wasn´t really listening. My full attention was on Annabeth. The way she kept touching the silver owl earring, how she subconsciously twirled her hair around her finger... After a minute she noticed me staring so I pretended to be interested in the photos on the wall behind her.
Dinner was ready soon so I could stop staring at Annabeth and stare at my food instead. After dinner the girls insisted on watching Grey´s Anatomy. Jason and I decided to leave them to it and headed up to Jason´s room. I told him about our time at camp and he told me about his date with Piper.
After 2 hours, Annabeth opened the door to Jason´s room and told me that Piper wanted to go home. "Well, guess I´ll go with her. Can´t leave her alone for too long..." I mumbled. Jason smiled. "See you, bro." I said. "Yeah bro." He said.
Annabeth led me downstairs to the front door where Piper was waiting. Her mascara was smudged around her eyes, she always cried when she watched Grey´s Anatomy. Thalia was standing next to her. She opened the door and waited for Piper and me to go out. We exchanged "Bye"s and left.
As soon as the door was closed Piper gave me a look. It was one of her 'Tell me all your secrets' looks that magically caused me to tell her everything. So I told her about the summer and how me and Annabeth had become friends. And how I wanted to be more than friends. Piper smiled. "You have to tell her!" she said. "She probably just wants to be friends. I don´t wanna make things weird between us." I told her. "Oh my god Percy, do you not notice anything? She wanted you to notice her today! No one just dresses up like that! You have to tell her!" she insisted. "It´s not like you told Jason that you like him!" I argued. "What? I... That´s just... don´t change the subject Jackson!" she replied. "You can´t tell me what to do if you don´t do it either!" I yelled. "Okay. Let´s make a deal! Tomorrow we tell them." She suggested. "Fine." I agreed. We shook hands on it and went home. I was scared but also sort of glad for the opportunity.
AN: I´m sorry for not updating in a while! I had a bit of a writers block because I don´t really know where I´m currently going with this story but I think I figured most of it out. I also just wanted to say that I have no idea how Americans live and how long the holidays are so if this seems unreal I´m sorry. Please leave a review and tell me what you think. XOXO SillyGeekyMe
