CHAPTER 2
When we got to camp, Annabeth was waiting at the hill, petting the dragon that protected the borders. We got off Blackjack and she came up running, very very mad. Blackjack flew away and Grover ran to the dragon, scared to be near her. I wish I could run away too but I stood my ground. She stopped in font of me and crossed her arms. Her blonde wavy hair fell around her shoulders and over part of her arms. Her gray eyes looked red filled with fury. She was only up to my chin, much shorter than me.
Grover started to move down the hill, but Annabeth turned on him and growled. He screamed but stood still. I stared, open mouthed.
She turned back to me and sighed. Then, in one second, all the fury was gone and she stood before me looking helpless. Her gray eyes were back to normal and her expression went from Satan to Lost Little Girl. She stepped into my arms and hugged me, her hair blowing around me and her. She started to cry, shaking and shaking. A crowd started forming, so I took her hand and led her away. When I passed Grover I gave him a nod and he nodded back, as in "we're cool."
I took her down the hill, away from all the people; I led her toward the cabins, even though we were going past that.
"So are you okay?" I asked her.
"Ya," she sniffed. "I'm just so glad your alright. I was freaking out wondering if you were coming or not"
"Freaking out? I heard you were scarier than Satan himself."
"Do you always have to believe what you hear?"
I put my arm around her and went down to the beach.
"No. Sit down." We sat on the sand and I kissed her. She was wearing her camp T-shirt and jeans while I was wearing a white shirt and jeans which she loved.
When I kissed her it felt like the world was in place, sparks and all.
Just when I was getting comfortable, we were splashed with a ton of water. She screamed and I gasped. I wasn't cold like her I was just shocked.
I looked over at who did it, but the only thing in the lake was a shining light. I knew then that I was to cover my eyes. I told Annabeth and we closed our eyes waiting for my dad to say something.
"Percy, I believe someone wants to talk to you," he said and pointed behind us. My arm was around Annabeth again, pulling her close to me, trying to keep her warm. I turned, looking up at the Stoll brothers, leading a mob of male campers. Shit! Every time they found someone kissing, they chased them down and threw them in the lake. With girls it was different but I was going to run.
I kissed her quickly one last time then got up and ran. I heard my dad and Annabeth laughing behind me, and then he said "Take care of him for me, dear."
They were chasing me to the cafeteria, probably to throw food at me. I needed to get out of this, but I probably couldn't. I ran toward the forest and dodged around the trees to try to lose them. After a while I did lose them and I sat down, leaning against a tree. I started to think about how to tell her how I feel. Maybe I should just tell her. I loved kissing her. I loved being around her. I love talking to her. Everything was different with her. In the distance I heard the mob arguing trying to find me. I got up and ran toward the beach, hoping to get protection from either Annabeth or the water.
Even though they were only fighting they were getting closer. I jumped out of the forest
near the beach. Seeing Annabeth I ran over to where she was still sitting. Soo close! I was almost there when my path was blocked by food carrying guys. I was too shocked to keep running toward her so I ran backward to the forest but that was blocked too. I stopped and let them throw.
I closed my eyes and felt myself getting all dirty, food dripping off my body. People around us laughed. I opened my eyes when they were done and I saw Annabeth trying not to laugh with everyone else.
I pushed through them walking to her. When I got there she picked lettuce out of my hair. She looked totally disgusted so I went toward her and said, "Give me a hug, baby."
"No offence but EWWW!"
I hugged her and she started saying it over and over, "EWWW. EWWWW!"
I let her go and she started to pretend to throw up while she picked stuff off herself. She looked up at me and started for me. I ran over to the dock and stopped just as I reached the end. I turned and faced her, then I walked over and dragged her next to me, her in my arms.
"If I go, your coming with me."
"No thanks."
She squirmed and I jumped off the end taking her hand and pushing her in.
