I don't own PJO
Annabeth's POV
I woke up to the screaming of some Aphrodite kids outside. I bet they were all freaking out because of the dance outside. I sighed and got up. I wanted to get something to eat so I ran towards the bathroom to get dressed.
Once I was in there I almost gagged. My hair looked like a birds nest. That would take forever to fix. I don't even think a pony tail is possible at the moment. I ignored it for later and turned on the shower. I felt the warm water run down my spine and I sighed peacefully. I was still a little annoyed with Percy. I mean, who goes around kissing someone and then goes out with someone else? I wasn't an expert in this kind of things, but I knew that was stupid.
I quickly got out and dressed in some jeans and a purple tank top. I ran out the door and towards the pavilion. I felt as if I could eat a whole cow.
I grabbed my food and sat down in the Athena table. Most of my siblings were already in the arena, practicing. I looked over my shoulder to the Poseidon table and saw Emily talking to him. I felt like strangling her. You could already see her fluttering her eye lashes and making faces at Percy.
He laughed and turned around. He stared at me and I glared. I was about to start eating when I heard footsteps behind me.
" Hey Annabeth. Are you still angry?" he asked.
I sighed, frustrated. " What do you think?"
He rolled his eyes and sat down. " I honestly don't know what I did."
I scrunched my eye brows and stared at him. How could someone be so stupid..?
" You can just forget about it."
" No, I-"
" Percy!" I clenched my fists at the sound of the peppy voice.
" Hey Emily."
" Hi. So, as I was saying, do you-"
She stopped talking and turned to face me. " Annabeth, don't you see we're trying to talk?"
" You're in MY table!," I yelled angrily.
" Your name isn't written on here."
I laughed. " If you haven't noticed, this is the Athena table. I'm Athena's daughter and you're not."
" I don't give a Hades." I glared at her fiercely.
" Leave. Now."
She rolled her eyes and laughed. " I think I'll stay over here."
I had enough. I got up and waked over to her. I was really close to beating the Hades out of here when I felt someone grab my hand.
" Annabeth, calm down."
" Percy, let me go," I hissed.
He stared at me and shook his head. " You'll get in trouble."
" And since when do you care?"
" I care. I always did. You're important to me."
I bit my lip but didn't say anything. I wasn't in the mood for falling into his lies.
" Oh really? Then why did you kiss me and go off to Emily?"
He didn't say anything and I kept on going.
" You're just like everyone else! You're a LIAR!"
His hand let mine and he looked at me, shocked. I was pretty shocked myself too. I knew I was angry with him, but to call him a liar? He didn't lie about anything.
I saw him take one last look at me and run out the pavilion. I automatically felt bad. Why did I yell at him?
" Nice going, Annabeth," hissed Emily. I ignored her. This was all her fault. Not only did I lose my best friend, he is now going to hate me.
I didn't want to eat anymore so I threw it out and went over to the creek I went to a few days ago. I sat down and stared at the sky. I closed my eyes and I flashed back to the kiss Percy gave me yesterday. It felt so.. Right. But if it felt right, why did I let him go? That wasn't the only question I kept asking myself. This one was much more important. Did I- did I feel anything more for Percy Jackson, than just friendship?
I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a grey dress the went just a little under my knees. The dressed flowed and fit me perfectly. I was actually surprised that one of my sister's owned this. I let my hair down and just put a little bit of lip gloss. I wasn't a fan of make up.
" Wow Annabeth. You look gorgeous," said one of my sisters. I smiled.
" Thanks." I didn't want to go to the dance. I was being forced. You see, this dance was for everyone go didn't get to have a prom. The Aphrodite cabin wanted to be special, so she told everyone that they had to go. Now you may be asking yourself, why did I listen? Well, let's just say I didn't want to be forced into going in the Aphrodite cabin and getting a make over. I shuddered, just thinking about it.
I walked with some of my sisters to the amphitheater and gasped. The place was completely different. It didn't look like an ancient theater. It looked more like a teenage party. There were lights everywhere. Balloons hanged on the sides. I saw a bunch of tables full of food. All the food you could think of. In the middle, laid a dance floor. Many campers were dancing and laughing. We usually had the parties in the beach. I guess this was a better option this time.
I was getting a little thirsty so I walked over to the food table. I grabbed a cup and some kool aid and drank it quickly.
" Thirsty?" I turned around and saw a boy about my age standing there. He had dirty blonde hair and green eyes. Apollo's son, I guessed.
" Yeah, I guess."
" You guess?" he asked.
I shrugged. " I'm Cody," he said.
I smiled. I didn't want the poor guy to think I was a weirdo. " Annabeth." He extended his hand out and I shook it.
" Athena's?" he asked. I nodded.
" Apollo?" I asked. He laughed.
" No. Hephaestus." I raised my eye brows.
" I didn't see that coming."
He chuckled. " Well, I'm used to it."
I smiled and looked at everyone. They seemed to be having a lot of fu-
" Do you want to dance?"
I stared at him. " I'm not a really good dancer."
He smiled. " Neither am I. A try would be nice though."
I nodded and we walked towards the middle of the dance floor.
I stared moving with the music and he put his hands on my hips. We moved a little, but then I saw him.
Percy stared at me, a little angry. I wanted to say something but pursed my lips. I saw Emily grab his hand and make her ways towards us.
" Oh Cody, I see you met Annabeth."
He smiled and nodded. Percy glared at him and then turned to me.
" Do you want to dance, Cody?" she asked.
" Sure." And we were alone.
" Annabeth-"
" I'm sorry," I blurted out.
He raised his eye brows. " For what?"
I sighed. " I didn't mean to yell at you. I know you might not forgive me, but-" I never finished.
His lips pressed softly to mine. He grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to him. I put my hands on his neck and he swayed us side to side. I smiled.
" Does that answer your question?"
I smiled. " Yeah."
He sighed. " I'm sorry too. I should've never said yes to Emily. It was wrong. It felt wrong."
I smiled. " It's alright."
He grinned. I felt him grab my hand and he started pulling us away from everyone.
" Where are we going?"
" The beach," he answered.
" Why?"
" Just cause."
Once we got there we sat down and he put his arm around me.
" Remember when you kissed me on Mt. St. Helens?"
I blushed. I remembered how I thought I was never going to see him again. He wanted me to leave so I wouldn't get hurt. My thoughts also flashed back when I thought he was dead. It felt horrible, knowing he wasn't coming back.
" What are you thinking?" he asked.
" Nothing."
" You look beautiful," he said. I smiled and couldn't help but blush.
" Thanks." I looked at what he was wearing for the first time. He was wearing black dress pants and a green dress shirt. It wasn't tucked in. I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
" What?" he asked.
I shook my head. " Nothing."
He smiled and I turned to face the sea. It looked beautiful and calmed. Just like Percy.
Last thing I remembered was Percy kissing the top of my head and me thinking, Oh how I love my SeaweedBrain.
