Ok chapter 2. Sorry chapter one was short and probably bad. I am new and this is my first Percy Jackson series. And I don't own Percy Jackson. Rick Riordan does.
Chapter 2: The Gravel Road
We had to take the gravel road to get to the Mess Hall from the arena. It was a ten minute long walk, and Annabeth and I spent five minutes in silence. I had finally grown over the summer and now we were the same height. She looked a lot more grown up, and she even managed to look even prettier than last year. The quiet started to annoy me so I said, "So how are things in California?"
"Its ok." she said.
"That's it?" I asked.
"What do you expect Percy?" she said. "I have to stay there and wait months until I can come back to camp and see my best friends again."
"I thought I was you're only best friend." I said in a hurtful voice.
She laughed, and then she said, "Oh shut up seaweed brain!"
We laughed and then kept walking. Annabeth always knew how to make me feel better. I thought about her a lot and when night came I couldn't wait to talk to her the next day. Then I remember the love talk the goddess Aphrodite and I shared in the junkyard. Aphrodite helped me understand my true feelings about Annabeth. I love her.
We were close to the mess hall and we could see crowds of campers standing around. Annabeth and I looked at each other trying to figure out what was going on. My other best friend, Grover, came running towards us. He had only one thing to say. "She's alive!"
Like how its going? Please review!
