"What part of stay inside do you not understand?" Thalia asked.
I was still trying not to laugh.
"Every body already knows, so I didn't think it would really matter." Nico protested.
"What if it had been Chiron?" Thalia said.
"So, you're the new power couple, huh?" I asked, still trying to hide a smile. Thalia and Nico glared at me.
"That is not how I would put it."
I, unfortunatley knew the voice. I didn't even want to turn around to see her. She would undoubtably be the same slut I remembered.
"What happened to Percy?" Drew asked. "Has he lost interest?"
"Drew, you know exactly what happened. Don't be a jerk just because she had what you didn't." Thalia said calmly.
"And still don't." Nico mumbled.
I finally turned to face her. I was wrong. She was worse. She had on more make up and less skin coverage. If her shorts had been any shorter they wouldn't have been there.
"Well, Annabeth, I see that you're the same." She drawled, "I would have thought you would have gained some style in the city."
"I didn't want to risk someone stealing something." I said, glancing over at the Hermes cabin. I didm't even care about what Drew thought.
"Why don't you get lost. That shouldn't be to hard for you." I said.
Drew raised her eye brows as if she were trying to figure out if I had insulted her. I guess she figured out that i had because she stormed of towards her cabin.
"She's even worse than I remembered her." I said.
"Yeah, she's been giving us crap about the fact that we're dating."
"So why are you here?" Nico asked.
"Nice to see you to." I mumbled, rolling my eyes.
"That's not what I meant." Nico said. "I was just wondering why Chiron called you."
"Well have you met Cassandra?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah."
"Well, Chiron wants me to go to tell him and bring him back to meet her."
"What!" Thalia said, shocked. "Why is he making you see him?"
"Apparently I'm the only one who he'll listen to." I said. "I'll see you later. I need to think about some things."
"Bye." Thalia said as I walked off.
It was hard to see everything again. All the memories just came flooding back. The lake, the stables, the dining pavilion, the amphitheater…Percy's cabin. I tried to avoid it but it was inevitable that I would see it. I saw Cassandra walk out the door she I was about thirty yards away. I was hoping that I would have an excuse to not go in, but now I couldn't stay away any longer. I walked over to the door, hoping that it was locked. Of course it wasn't. I turned the handle and pushed the door open. It was exactly how I remembered it. The scent of the sea, the blue paint. It was as if I had never left or as if time had stood still in his one place. It was as if I still was with Percy and I was sitting here waiting for him. He would have come back from the sword arena and he would have been ecstatic to see would have sunk out after curfew and gone swimming and then we would have come back to his cabin and gone to sleep. It would have perfect. I would have been so happy. Was I that happy now? Of course not. He was the only one who could make me that happy. Percy Jackson was the one thing I needed.
