Ch.7 A Bud Blooms
Disclaimer-I can't stress it enough…I don't own PJO!
Now I had to pick the girl I was going to be with.
I liked them both, but I had to choose one of them. Annabeth or Rachel? I didn't know. I thought that I knew who I was going to pick, but when I thought about the other one, I got stuck. My phone rang, it was Annabeth.
"Hey Percy, it's me." she said.
"Hi Wisegirl. So, have you thought about anything?"
"Not really. It's kind of weird to talk about."
"Yeah." I knew how she felt because I was feeling the exact same way. "Well before we make any big moves, can I ask you some things? You know, since you asked me some things."
"Okay, I guess."
"Well, first…Luke…"
"What about Luke?" Annabeth asked defensively.
"Nothing, sorry I brought it up."
"No, it's fine. I played 20 questions about Rachel. I don't have feelings for him. I know that that was what you were going to ask me. I only have feelings for you."
Wow. That sounded nice. "I have feelings for you, too."
"Well?" she said.
I was unsure about what to do next. I wanted to take the next step, but something Annabeth's mom said a while back kind of scared me. "I do not approve of your friendship with my daughter," she said. if she didn't like the fact that we were friends, I highly doubt that she would like us dating. I was honestly not looking forward to facing the wrath of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Battle. "Annabeth, I don't know what will result from this, but here it goes. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, will you be my girlfriend?" I was so nervous and a little embarrassed.
"Sure, Seaweed Brain. Why not?" I could tell she was grinning just by the sound of her voice. I was happy, very happy but I still had yet to deal with Rachel…
"Great!" I didn't mean to say it, but it kind of slipped out.
"Ha ha." she said.
"Okay, well I have to go, bye, Annabeth."
"Bye, Percy."
Now it was time to call Rachel. I did not want to have to do this.
I punched in her number. 212-555-9438
"Hello?" Rachel said.
