Make sure you have someone who kows CPR around if I can't update my story and you have a heart attack ;)
Speaking of my story...
Percy POV
I woke up early this morning.
I quickly felt my forehead to make sure I didn't have a fever (seriously brain? Seven thirty? What is wrong with you?). Thank goodness I didn't have one.
Then I realized I wasn't in my own bed. I looked across the room to my bed and saw… Annabeth. I admit I had a small panic attack (Oh gods, what did we do?) before the memories of yesterday flooded into my mind.
I was surprised to find I wasn't mad at Violet anymore. I guess it was because after Nico and I had our silent conversation I understood. I wasn't sure what or how I understood, but I understood. I mean, I know I'd be pissed off if someone claiming to be the good guys kidnapped me. I wasn't quite sure how Annabeth would take it though.
"Percy?"
Annabeth was looking at me with her head cocked to the side. I didn't realize she had woken up (or that I was staring at her). Her eyes were asking the question I had thought not too long ago.
I smiled, "Morning."
Annabeth looked around. "What," she blushed, "What, um, happened?"
I opened my mouth to say that what she was thinking certainly did not happen when I realized something. "What do you remember? From yesterday I mean?"
Annabeth put on her thinking face (which is super cute by the way) before answering. "I remember everything up until saving Violet from Clarisse's hazing technique." She paused. "Why were we there again?"
I was going to tell her the truth (don't keep secrets from you girlfriend, right?), but I didn't want her to relive what happened again- she was very shaken up after Violet did…whatever it was she accidentally did. I wasn't sure why Annabeth didn't remember, but I'm glad she didn't; Annabeth can hold a grudge like there's no tomorrow. This way, Violet and Annabeth can start off fresh. I quickly came up with a lie.
"We were walking to breakfast the long way when we came upon Violet and Clarisse. After saving Violet from being…um, 'initiated' by Clarisse, we asked her if she wanted to come to breakfast, but she said no. After breakfast we came to my room and talked the day away, mostly about Olympus and what we plan on doing for the rest of summer and what not. We forgot to go to class, so Chiron might be mad at us. You fell asleep around ten and I didn't really want to move you." I thought it was a pretty good lie, but I was still worried she wouldn't believe me (her mom is the goddess of wisdom, you know). Annabeth can usually tell when I'm lying.
I think it was the reassurance that we didn't, ah, do anything that saved me. Annabeth looked so relieved that she nodded, saying, "Oh, right. I remember now."
She was still in her clothes from yesterday (I caught myself before saying she might want to change into non lake drowned clothes) so that meant I had to change out of my PJs. We walked to breakfast, in a blissful silence. No one questioned us about yesterday at all. It was great until Piper came up to us after breakfast.
"Have you seen Violet?"
"No. Sorry." I tried to keep my face as nonchalant as possible. Actually wasn't that hard.
"Oh, well if you see her, tell her I'm looking for her. I know she really freaked everyone out at the bonfire, but when I talked to her, she seemed pretty cool."
Annabeth nodded, "Sure thing, Pipes."
I was thankful today was Saturday; we wouldn't have to do any training. Of course that meant I had to help Annabeth all day, but I didn't care; I was spending time with the best (in my opinion) girl in the world. We went to the Athena cabin. I will spare you the boring details of Annabeth talking to me about the Olympus project. I'll skip to…about noon. I heard some commotion outside and finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Come on Annabeth, please?"
She sighed, "Fine."
I jumped in the air, "Yes!"
I opened the door, Annabeth walking up behind me muttering about unfinished blueprints.
What I saw made me come to a complete stop. In front of me was a guy who looked about eighteen wearing jeans, loafers, and a plaid shirt. He looked like he was having a terrible time; two kids (about six years old, I think) were hanging on to him and squealing with joy. Every time the dude almost caught one of the kids, they just moved to another part of his body. Soon, the figure fell down, tripping over his feet, with a thud and a groan.
I tried not to laugh (it was very difficult), "Apollo? You okay?"
