Annabeth's POV

I don't know what I was thinking but I totally just invited Clarisse into my bed. Now a lot of the rules at camp are not suited for same-sex relationships. The only rule is about male and female campers being alone in a cabin together. So the only thing Chiron can really say is 'Even if the rules are not specific you two should know better.'But at this moment in time I didn't care about anything except spending time with Clarisse...and sleeping. I really missed her, all that time being trapped alone in that cage all I found myself constantly thinking about was Clarisse.

Clarisse and I split up to get ready for bed and she startled me by crawling through the back window.

"Sorry." She said smirking. "I thought it would be better if people didn't see me coming through the front door."

"Yeah, good idea." I said walking over to hug her. She tilted my head up and kissed me. For once my world seemed right. If there was a way for me to stay in her arms like this forever.

She picked me up and laid me down on my bunk, still kissing me. I have no idea how long we just laid there kissing. She ran her hands all over my body while we were kissing and honestly I don't think anything could feel better.

After some time passed we finally succumbed to exhaustion and went to sleep. I hoped that no one would come back and just let us enjoy our time together. Clarisse and I slept until we were bathed in a strange warmth.

"HOT" Clarisse yelled and pushed me away throwing the blankets.

"I hope you two enjoyed your time together, but it is time for Ms. La Rue to part." I sat there in awe staring at my mother.

"Um, hi." I said because I didn't know what my mother was thinking. She was without a doubt the wisest being in existence so I could probably try for hundreds of years and never figure it out.

"You couldn't have waited a while before you interrupted us." Clarisse was glaring. Oh gods this is not the time for her to be cranky.

"Well Ms. La Rue if you preferred I could have allowed Chiron to come and awaken you, which he was in fact on his way to do." Mother said raising an imperious eyebrow at her. Clarisse stopped glaring and rubbed the back of her head sighing in defeat.

"Sorry." She said through her teeth. My mother just shook her head like she was expecting this sort of resistance.

"It is quite alright child, now I must leave and as do you." She said vanishing out of the room. Before Clarisse and I could do anything the door handle started to rattle and Clarisse jumped out of my bed grabbed her shirt and went out the window. So ends my perfect day.

Clarisse's POV

Jeez, why is it that Annabeth and I can never be alone for more than a few hours. All I want is to spend time with her I mean over the last couple of years the two of us almost dying has been a normal occurrence even more so than usual. Now there's a war on the horizon and the fact that Luke's monsters are literally looking for a way to get into the center of camp, this sucks.

Chiron held a counselors meeting after dinner that night and we went over all the things that Jackson, Annabeth, and I discovered. When we were dismissed we all went to our cabins and had a good nights sleep.

The next morning after I lead my cabin to their first activity I saw Beckendorf motioning me over.

"What's up." I asked.

"So, you have a good time with Annabeth yesterday?" He asked.

"I don't know what you mean." I responded.

"Oh, please I saw the two of you in that cabin. Malcom wanted to show me some blueprints he found in the library and we saw the two of you feeling each other up.

"Fine." I said, really what could I say they caught us.

"I just hope you guys had fun. Literally anything could happen to us and you guys deserve to be happy." He said, I rolled my eyes and walked off.

I spent the rest of the school year spending time with Annabeth and taking care of her. If this is what my future holds with Annabeth, I'm really looking forward to it. I did a lot of training and only caused minimal damage to people and their property and when I say minimal I mean Chiron ended up grounding me for a couple of weeks because I completely dismantled them. I also spent a great amount of time trying to make Chris come back to his senses. Annabeth says it's not my fault that he ended up like this but I know it is. If I had been a better friend to him he never would've left. Man, when he regains his sanity I'm gonna kick his ass all over this camp.

The night before all the campers came back for the summer Annabeth and I met up at the highest point camp and stared at the moon.

"So, you're going in to town to see a movie with Jackson." I said visibly sulking.

"Don't be like that. Percy's like my Beckendorf." She said. "He's my best friend."

"I thought I was your best friend." I said pouting.

"You're my girlfriend. And I love you." She said making me turn away to hide my blush.

"I love you too, Anna." I said leaning over to kiss her.

"How about this, if we survive until my birthday, I'll let you take your 'happiest place on earth'."

"Your bedroom?" I asked smirking, she blushed and smacked me upside the head. "You know what I meant."

"It's Universal Studios. I know that." I started. "But I just want you to know my happiest place on earth is anywhere you are." I said. She smiled and kissed me. I scooped her up so she was straddling my lap.

"I'm fine going there but you know my family would have to come too. I highly doubt my parents are going to pay for us to go on a romantic vacation." I said

"That's fine with me as long as you and I are together." Annabeth said kissing me again.

We spent the time up until the campfire holding each other and just enjoying each others company. Life may suck right now but with Annabeth the world gets better.
