Here's chapter 13.
Percy's POV
It felt like a second later I woke up, but I knew that wasn't the case. Light streamed from the bedroom window, showing the inside of the Poseidon. I walked to the bathroom to go take a shower, careful not to let any more damage to myself. Doing my daily routine, I picked out random clothing and put them on, shoving my shoes onto my feet.
As soon as I opened my door, I saw Annabeth's hand raised in a knock. Her mouth was open in shock, her eyes wide. She hastily put her arm back to her side, blushing. My face turned stoic, my eyes becoming emotionless once again. She didn't notice, just kept blushing. She's got some nerve to come to my cabin, especially after what she pulled. Annabeth looked up at me, about to say something when I brushed past her, heading out to get some breakfast. After a few seconds of silence, I heard her call out my name. I stopped in my tracks, not turning around to face her.
"Percy?" Her voice was tentative, almost nervous. I turned around, staring blankly at her.
"Yes?" Void of emotion. That's what my voice sounded like.
"Uh...It's just that I wanted to apolo-"
I cut her off. I didn't want to hear an apology from her. It wasn't like I was going to accept it anyways. "If there's nothing you want, can I go?"
She was caught off guard. "Oh. Uh, I guess."
I turned back to head over to the cafe, leaving a very flustered Annabeth behind me.
-Line Break-
This continued throughout the rest of the day. Every time I was alone, Annabeth would come up to me and try and to strike up a conversation. And every time she'd strike up a conversation, I'd barely say anything. She was so infuriating. Why wouldn't she just leave me alone?
I was thinking this while walking around camp. I didn't feel like getting involved in any camp activities. I just wanted to have some fresh air and some breeze. It was cloudy today, some wind that was pretty cool for autumn. I was also trying to avoid Annabeth. I really didn't want anything to do with her any more. Quite frankly, I don't even know why I'm still here in camp when I technically don't even have to be here. I guess I just don't have the strength to leave yet. Truth be told, I'm supposed to just stay in bed, but my ADHD won't let me. I really need to get some air so I don't lose my mind.
Maybe staying here was the option for me right now. I don't want to be here but at the same time, I don't want to leave. I guess my condition right now just makes me feel like I need to stay here for a while, despite the she devil that lurks around here.
Speaking of Annabeth, I'm kinda thinking that maybe I should just try to graduate her as soon as possible. I don't know how I'd be able to lie her way out of here, but I'm tempted to try anyways. I just have no how she will ever be able to get out of here by graduating. She's completely impossible, and I have no idea how she can possibly change. What really amazes me is the fact is that I never realized this until all of this happened. I guess I really am a complete idiot when it comes to Annabeth. Well, whatever happens to her is no longer my concern. She's on her own from here on out.
End of chapter. Later.
