Ch. 8 When One Door Closes, Another Opens

"Hello?" Rachel said.
"Hey Rachel, it's Percy." I said back.
"Yeah, I know. There's this little thing called caller id." she said, laughing.
"Ha ha. Yeah." I was sort of embarrassed.
"Sorry about putting you on the spot like that. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." Rachel said.
"Oh, it's okay. You didn't put me on the spot." I said. How was I supposed to explain to her that me and Annabeth were dating? I didn't even know. I guess I just had to wing it.
"Oh, good. So, umm about what I said…"
I didn't really man to, but I cut her off to say, "I'm kind of dating Annabeth."
"What?" she said in disbelief. "I didn't think that she liked you, or you liked her, for that matter." I couldn't really tell, but it sounded like she muttered "how could I be so stupid?"
"We can still be friends, right? I mean we're good friends. This isn't going to change anything between us, is it?" I really hoped it wouldn't I chose Annabeth, but I didn't want to loose Rachel.
"No," she said. Her voice kind of wavered. "It won't change anything. I've got to go, though. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, well may-" dial tone. I didn't get to finish my sentence, that worried me. I didn't know if our friendship was going to stay in tact.
