XOXO

Annabeth POV

I must of drifted to sleep sometime because my mom was shaking me awake for dinner right now. I got up and looked around, seeing the book on the floor and my mother staring at me with a strange expression.

I stretched my tense muscles and looked at my mother. "How long was I out?"

"I do not know for sure. When I came back in here, you were asleep." Athena said, gazing at me.

"So, dinner time?" I asked, walking around her to the closet.

"Yes. Dinner. Your siblings are already at the table." Athena said.

I pulled on my outfit from earlier today and walked out of the cabin with my mother. It was really hard not to resent her right now, but I tried to hide it well. We arrived at the dining pavilion and walked to the Athena table. I smiled at the rest of my siblings, but remained quiet. I discreetly glanced over at the Poseidon table and caught Percy's eyes. I smiled at him and felt heat rise to my cheeks when he smiled back. I quickly looked away and noticed some of my siblings looking at me with confused looks. I resorted to just looking at my food, it was more interesting anyways. Dinner was pretty boring, so when Chiron allowed us to go back to our cabins, I really wanted to run back. But someone calling my name held me back.

I looked behind me to see Silena waving me over. I smiled at my mom and walked over to the Aphrodite table, my siblings again giving me confused looks. Silena was trying to keep calm and failing terribly at it.

"Okay, Silena. What is wrong?" I asked, laughing at her bubbly expression.

"Nothing! I caught the little look between you and your Romeo. Cute!" Silena exclaimed in a whisper.

Aphrodite finally noticed I was over here and bounced over to where me and Silena were standing. "Annabeth!"

"Hello Aphrodite." I said, smiling.

"You two are just so cute!" Aphrodite exclaimed, quite like Silena just did.

I couldn't do anything but blush and smile. But my smile turned to a frown when I realized we might not be able to be together.

Aphrodite noticed my frown and looked at me with a quizzical expression. "What is wrong, dear Annabeth?"

"Just thinking that...what if we can't be together." I said, a lone tear trailing down my cheek.

"It will work out, just you wait." Aphrodite said, wiping away the tear and smiling like she knew something I didn't; she probably did.

Silena smiled at me and patted my shoulder. "Go back to your cabin, Annabeth."

"Thanks." I said, hugging her and turning to walk back to my cabin.

Athena wasn't in the cabin when I returned, but my very inquisitive siblings were. They all but dog-piled on me when I walked in. I got shoved onto my bed and all my female siblings crowded around me, rapid-firing questions so fast I couldn't understand any of them.

"Quiet!" I yelled, gaining silence. "Thanks. Now, one at a time."

They all glanced at each other before deciding on a single question to ask me. "Why?"

I looked at them with a confused expression. "Why what?"

One of them got brave. "Why do you like him?"

I blushed. "I don't know how to answer that."

"Annabeth, we've heard mom call him different names and obviously doesn't like him because of his father, so why do you like him?" one of them asked.

I swallowed and was about to answer, when Athena walked into the cabin. I thanked her and all the Gods that I didn't have to answer the question. Athena looked questioningly at the siblings assembled around me bed, but didn't say anything. My half-sisters scrambled away and to their beds; Athena sat next to me. I really didn't feel like talking to her right now.

"Now, Annabeth. Don't ignore me because I won't let you be with the sea spawn." Athena scolded me.

I didn't answer her, more because I was afraid of how my voice would sound (resentful) or what words might come out. I started to get ready for bed, when Athena placed her had on my arm.

"Campfire tonight." Athena said.

I nodded and just traded my jean shorts for jeans. I laced my sneakers on my feet and strapped my knife under my pants. With the rest of my siblings, we left the cabin and walked to where the campfire was being held. I looked around and saw the Apollo cabin, the Aphrodite cabin, the Dionysus cabin and the Demeter Cabin were already here; only the Ares, Poseidon, Hephaestus, and Hermes cabins weren't here. I looked up and saw Silena waving me over, a smile on her face like always. I walked over to her, glad to be away from my cabin, and mother, for the moment.

"Hey Silena." I said, plopping down next to her.

"Hey Annabeth." Silena said.

"Thanks for letting me sit over here. I don't think I can handle anymore questions from my siblings or just being around my mother." I said, sighing.

"Not a problem. And, uh, I don't think they can dictate where people sit, so..." Silena said, raising her eyebrows.

"Percy can sit over here." I said, smiling hugely.

"Oh yes." Silena said, matching my smile. "And if Poseidon and Athena don't like it, well they'll have to deal with my mom." I looked over and saw the goddess giving me a smile and a wink.

I just smiled and leaned up against a log, waiting for my Romeo to come. It must a been a few minutes later when Silena nudged me. I sat up and saw Poseidon and Percy making their way over to the campfire. Silena caught Percy's eye and motioned him over to us. I saw him tell his dad something before he walked over to us.

"Annabeth!" he exclaimed, walking a little faster.

"Hey." I said, smiling.

He plopped down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder. I cuddled into his embrace, sighing in contentment. We sat this way until Grover came running up to us, sitting next to Silena.

"Hey guys." Grover said.

"Hey Grover." We all said.

The other cabins finally appeared and sat down. Apollo and his kids provided music for us and I was so happy just to be with Percy.

The campfire lasted for about two hours before we were told to go back to our cabins. I sat up, leaving Percy's warm embrace, but turned around and kissed him quickly on his lips. I smiled at him before standing up and stretching. He, as well as Silena and Grover, stood up a second after me. The fire-light caught him just right, making his dark hair glisten and his eyes sparkle.

"Annabeth?" I heard my mom calling.

I sighed and before leaving, engulfed Percy in one last hug; I held onto him tight, him doing the same, before letting go.

"Bye guys." I said, walking away from them and towards my siblings and mom.

My mom looked like she wanted to say something to me, but I just walked past her, still mad. All the demigods walked back to their cabins for sleep. I entered my cabin and walked straight to the closet, changing into my pajamas and putting Percy's sweatshirt over my head. As my other siblings were doing the same, I crawled into bed and fell slowly asleep, hoping me and Percy could be together soon.
