It was a moment of peace for me just to sea her in a calm state of being. I felt a longing to talk to her coming in from deep within my chest. I open my mouth to speak but then my mind protested, what do you think your doing? Your going to go up to a girl that probably ruined your life and carrier as a hero and you want to talk to her about your life problems? The more I thought about it I guessed it made sense but I didn't want to be mad at Annabeth. I slowly rolled further back so she wouldn't accidentally see me out of the corner of her eye and rolled up and out of the beach to my cabin. The cold grey seashell stone walls might have been disturbing to others but to me it was welcoming. As soon as I got through the door a calming vibe of the room was washed over me. I go to the edge of the room where a open widow shows a view of the lake. The water shimmered like a diamond. On the windowsill my horn was propped up for every one to see. I picked it up and as my fingers skimmed over the ridges I thought. What a pathetic hero, I kill a monster but can't even defend myself against some dogs. I threw the horn across the room, and slump in my wheelchair. My eyes started to close when the sound of the dinner bell ringing. I didn't feel like going, but my stomach had plans of its own. It started growling so loudly I thought campers from outside would have heard it. I started heading towards the mess hall. Everybody kept his or her eyes on me. Come on its not like I have grown a second head why couldn't they just treat me like a normal person. Many campers came up to me and offered their help to get my food carry the plate and other things but I just waved them off with the flick of my hand I wanted to be as normal as possible not the kid in a wheelchair. After many tries I finally got a piece of pizza all the way to the Poseidon table without dropping it. I sat down and stared at my plate while eating trying to avoid all eye contact if possible. A small thump landed beside me. Ohh great just what I need another Aphrodite daughter batting her eye lashes with sympathy right in front of my face. I turned and was surprised to see Annabeth sitting beside me. "So, how's your day going?" she said in a cheerful voice
"Umm, ok… I guess"
" Uh well how are you enjoying camp?" Did she really just ask me that I've been here for about 2 weeks and I'm already paralyzed? Oh wow, the way her blonde hair blew in the wind is beautiful. Off topic Percy! I didn't realize that at that time I had dropped the whole slice of pizza on the ground.
"Umm you might want to pick that up." She said
"Huh, oh yeah…wait why don't you get it for me? Surly it would be a lot easier for you to bend over and get it than me." I said in a sly tone with a smirk on my face.
"Your brain is made out of seaweed if you think I am going to baby you kelp head." She replied as she left. It was about time someone came along who didn't see me as being weak or restricted.
