PJO is Ricks, sadly it is not mine *brushes away tears* though I do own Alex, what a shame that I hate that boy :] Anyways enjoy.
"Beep. Beep. Beep. CRASH," I brought my hand down hard on the alarm clock. Oh well, it deserved it. I groggily rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and stared at the bunk above my head. This is what I did in the mornings. I just laid in bed and thought. I know Annabeth, big surprise, right?
The truth is I have a lot of things to think about. There's the whole saving the world thing, you know in like two weeks on my completely not sweet sixteenth birthday. There's the whole Annabeth thing. There's the whole cryptic prophecy thing. There's the whole Rachel thing. There's the whole….oh never mind, I'm done boring you. I'm sick of thinking. All it does is confuse me.
I swung my feet out of bed and blearily ran a hand through my hair as I made my way to the bathroom. I was about to pull my shirt off when my cabin door bounced open, smacking the wall with a loud "THUD."
"Perce?" Annabeth's eyes were big and gray and awake. Knowing her she'd probably been up since like five reading or something.
"Annabeth?" I said dropping my shirt back down so it covered my stomach.
"New camper, Chiron wants us to show him around" she explained, giving me a disapproving look at my messy cabin.
"Whatever you say Wise Girl, am I allowed to shower first?" I inquired.
"Oh please do" she wrinkled her nose like I smelled really bad.
"Fine, I'll be out in a few" I closed the distance to the bathroom in a few strides and shut the door behind me as she started to pick up my cabin and straighten the sheets on my bed. And that is why I love her.
I hurriedly showered, shampooing my hair and scrubbing the dirt from all my cuts and scrapes. I toweled off, did a quick shave (he's fifteen, he would shave right? Don't really know 'cause I'm a girl haha) and tied the towel around my waist again so I could go get some clothing. I creaked open the door. Annabeth was sitting cross legged on my newly made bed, her face in a wide grin at something she held in her hands. As I came out she looked up quickly and held up the photograph. I chuckled despite myself. I loved that photo. Annabeth and I were sitting by the lake, legs dangling in the water, facing each other. Annabeth's eyes were rolled back, a slight smirk on her pink lips. My face was in a wide grin and my arm was slung casually across her shoulders. Oh eighth grade, I missed how easy things were then. I mean well my life is never really simple but it was simpler. How I wished we could just be two normal half bloods, or at least as normal as half bloods can get.
"I like this one" she held up another one where we had our tongues stuck out at each other and Grover's face was all up near the camera making a face that read "Those two love birds."
"Me too" I grinned and surveyed my newly immaculate cabin.
"Looking for clothing?" Annabeth laughed.
"Nah!" I said my voice dripping with sarcasm "I was just going to go out like this" I pulled on the towel "Big fashion statement."
"It's all the rage in Paris" she rolled her eyes with a grin and threw a tee-shirt, some jeans, and a pair of boxers at me. This was why me and Annabeth were best friends, because I could go take a shower and she'd feel comfortable enough and know it was ok to clean up my cabin and then I could feel comfortable enough to walk out in my towel and she knows where I keep my tee-shirts and my underwear and my coke and that I'm not going to bite her head off if she throws on one of my sweatshirts if she's cold like she did just now.
"Thanks" I headed back to the bathroom to change. In about four seconds I was ready to go but apparently Annabeth didn't think so. She frowned and beckoned for me to come closer. Then she started messing up my hair. I rolled my eyes but let her do what she wanted.
"Who's the new camper?" I asked as we headed out of my cabin.
"Some guy, our age, don't remember his name, something with an A" she shrugged.
"A new camper our age? No one makes it past sixth grade" I cried.
"Well guess he was lucky" she shrugged.
"Guess so" I said catching her arm as she tripped.
"Thanks" she blushed, straightened my sweat shirt and yanked me after her.
We came to a halt at the big house, laughing at Connor and Travis Stoll as they ran away from the Aphrodite cabin, makeup bags in their arms. Sitting on the whitewashed steps was a muscular boy who looked our age (guess Annabeth was right) judging from his glowing tan, messy blonde hair, and easy going stance, he seemed to be a son of Apollo.
"Hello there" I waved, loosening my grip on Annabet's hand.
"Hola" he waved back and sprang to his feet easily.
"I'm Percy and this is Wise- urm I mean Annabeth" I pointed to myself and then to Annabeth.
"And I'm Alex" he grinned, a perfect grin with pearly white teeth and I swear I saw Annabeth blush a little. Oh well too bad for Alex, she's mine, already pointed that out last night :]
"We'll be your tour guides today" I forced a smile and gestured for him to follow us. Annabeth interlocked one arm with mine and the other with his as we made our way around the camp, pointing out the amphitheater and the cabins and the archery range and the mess hall and so forth.
"Wait so who are your 'rents" he asked mussing Annabeth's blond hair as we sat on the beach. I resisted the urge to spray him with water, I could always blame it on my father.
"Po-sieden all the way" I punched the air a few times with my fist.
"Athena" Annabeth shrugged.
"I would've thought Aphrodite" he said. Yup he's a stupid little flirt. I already hate him. Annabeth looked like she was going to slap him but I guess she decided against it.
"Annabeth is much too pretty to be a daughter of Aphrodite, she's brainy too" I counteracted. Annabeth looked a little taken aback but then she blushed darker and smiled at me, hugging my sweatshirt tighter around her.
"Guess your right" he shrugged before continuing "But hey, aren't Poseidon and Athena like sworn enemies. Aren't you guys supposed to be enemies too, not boyfriend girlfriend?"
"Well uh ya they do hate each other" Annabeth chewed her lip. I do not approve of your friendship with my daughter, I thought back on.
"And we're not" I pointed my index finger between Annabeth and I "dating."
"Oh good" he breathed a sigh of relief. I rolled my eyes and Annabeth just continued to blush. Oh I would get this kid later.
"So I'll bring you to the Hermes' cabin, Wise-girl you go find Chiron and ask him what we should do next" I said.
"Whatever you say Seaweed Brain and thanks" she held up the sweatshirt.
"No problamo you can keep it like you do all the rest of them" I rolled my eyes. Annabeth has like a pile of my sweatshirts, kind of entertaining actually. But every so often she'll give them back for me to wear, says that after she wears them for awhile they don't "smell" like me anymore. Girls.
"So Percy" Alex played with the sleeve of his shirt as we walked to the Hermes' cabin.
"So Alex" I rolled my eyes.
"You and Annabeth, you seem pretty close" I'm just hating this kid more and more.
"Uh ya. Best friends" I rolled my eyes again.
"Oh, ok" he said as we came to the doorstep.
"Well here you are" I jogged away "forgetting" to tell him to watch out for the Stoll brothers and to keep his stuff hidden. Woops.
