O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
I woke up by the sound of my alarm clock going off. Grover told me last night to wake up exactly the moment Annabeth woke up, so he set my alarm at 6:00 a.m. How he knows what time she wakes up, I have no idea. I pressed, more like smashed the snooze button my hands and it went off. I rolled to my other side to find a pie on my face. The person holding the pie took it off of my face and I saw a small flash. I groaned, got up from my bed and ready to beat up the Stolls.
"This is great!" I heard a voice exclaim. I recognized that voice. It was Grover
"What do you want?" I groaned as I sat on my bed and wiped the cream off of my face
"I knew you wouldn't get up this early so I came here to make sure you do." He smirked at me
"Well, I'm up now so what were you planning on doing?" I asked
"First, go wash your face, brush your teeth and change into some jogging clothes" he instructed me and I lazily forced myself to go to the bathroom.
"Hurry up, Annabeth's going to come out of her cabin soon" he said right before I slammed the bathroom door shut.
After I washed my face, brushed my teeth and changed into some jogging clothes like Grover instructed me to, I went out of the bathroom.
I walked out in a grey jogging suit. Grey jogging pants, grey shirt with the sleeves torn off (don't ask) with a hoodie and some black jogging shoes.
"Perfect" Grover smiled
He went over to me and handed me a jug of water.
"Okay, here's what you are going to do. You're going to jog around camp like you do it everyday, then when the Aphrodite cabin is awake and outside you stop by some Aphrodite girls, but make sure Annabeth's near, and flirt with them a little. Just pour some water over your head, open your shirt a little and smile." He said
"Okay, but the Aphrodite cabin doesn't wake up till 6:30, I'm 30 minutes early"
"No, you're not. Annabeth's still your friend, and even if you're making her jealous, you still need to greet her and hang out with her, just not as much as before." He said as he walked me to the door "Now, go jog, flirt and make Annabeth jealous." He said as he patted me on the back and pushed me out the door
As soon as I got out, I felt the cold fresh air against my skin. I inhaled and exhaled and started jogging. I passed the cabins first, then the arena, the amphitheater, the forges, the strawberry fields then the beach. I slowed down a little at the beach and sat down on the sand. I watched as the waves crashed on the shore and as the sun continued to rise. The salty air was intoxicating to me and I felt relaxed.
"You're up. That's a surprise" I heard a feminine voice say behind me
I turned around to see Annabeth walking up to me with a book in her hand and a smile on her face. She was wearing short-shorts, a camp shirt, some converse and her camp necklace. Her hair was in a tight pony tail with a few strands coming from the side.
"I wanted to go and jog." I said coolly
"Really? I've never seen you jog in camp before." She said as she sat down next to me
"Well, I'll be jogging a lot from now on" I told her
She nodded "So, where were you after archery yesterday?" she asked
I smirked at her "Why, you missed me?" I teased her
"You wish" she smirked back. You have no idea, I told myself
"I was with Grover in my cabin. We were just hanging out you know?" I said and she nodded
"Well, I need a practice partner later, want to join me?" she asked
I was about to answer but then a voice popped into my head, Grover's voice "Tell her, you'll see if you can. You've got other plans and you'll check if you can go with her" he said
"Uh, I'll see. I have other plans later so I'll check if I can" I told her
She seemed surprise "You have plans?" she asked
"Yeah, I do" I grinned at her
"Well, I'm sure you can work your hectic schedule out and squeeze me in" she smirked
"How can you be so sure?" I smirked at her
"Because I'm a daughter of Athena" she said then started to run off. I watched as she slowed down when she reached the dirt again. I continued to watch the waves for a while when Grover's voice popped into my head again
"Okay, the Aphrodite cabins up, go do your thing. I'll gather them somewhere near Annabeth." He said then vanished from my head. I stood up and jogged back to the cabins where I saw Grover walking away from some Aphrodite girls and Annabeth was sitting nearby, reading her book. Grover saw me and winked, I nodded.
I jogged towards the girls, pretending not to notice Annabeth who looked up from her book. I stopped in front of the girls and they giggled.
"Hey ladies" I smiled at them and they giggled more "Looking lovely as always" I told them and some of them blushed
"Great, it's working, Annabeth's looking at you. Keep going" Grover said inside my head
"It's a little hot huh?" I said as I opened my shirt showing my abs, yes I have abs, and taking the jug of water strapped to my waist and drank it then poured some on my head. I heard a few girls swoon and I fought the urge to smile.
"Is it working?" I asked Grover in my head
"Yeah it is" he said "Now go ask a girl to sparr with you" he told me
"So, which one of you girls want to sparr later on?" I asked them and they giggled. I turned to a girl who had straight brown hair, light blue eyes and pink plush lips.
"How about you?" I asked her
She giggled "Sure" she said shyly
"I'm Percy Jackson by the way" I said with a wink as I reached my hand out for her to shake.
She took my hand and shook it, while blushing she said "I'm Rose Clearwater" she said
"Nice to meet you, I'll see you at the arena in about an hour, need to take a shower first." I told them "You guys can come and watch." I told the other girls and they giggled "I meant the sparring match of course" I told them as they giggled more. I started to walk away, but not before winking at them.
I walked to my cabin with a cocky smile. I passed Annabeth who looked a little disappointed and angered and something else I couldn't figure out, I winked at her as well and she blushed a little and I went to my cabin. I found Grover sitting on my bed with a huge grin on his face.
"How'd I do?" I asked him
"Good! Great!" he exclaimed "Go take a shower and I'll tell you the rest" he said as he ushered me to the bathroom.
Annabeth's P.o.V.
After my little talk with Percy at the beach, I walked over to my cabin and sat down on a bench. I saw the Aphrodite kids filling out of their cabin but paid less attention to them. I started to read my book silently as a group of Aphrodite girls started talking near me. I ignored them. A few minutes later, I saw Percy jogging over to my way. I thought he was gonna sit down next to me, but he stopped in front of the Aphrodite girls.
"Hey ladies" Percy said as he flashed them a smile. They giggled as he smiled at them "Looking lovely as always" he said still smiling
My jaw almost dropped. Since when did Seaweed Brain flirt? I mean, he didn't used to flirt with the Aphrodite girls before, even though they kept swooning over him and launching themselves at him. He didn't care at all, but now, he's the one flirting with them. I felt a small pang in my chest, as I saw him winking at the girls.
"It's a little hot huh?" he said as he unzipped his shirt, showing his abs. Again, my jaw almost dropped but I forced it to stay closed. He took the jug from his waist and poured it all over his head. My mouth opened slightly as the Aphrodite girls swooned over him. I could see a small smile on his face. I didn't know what was going on with him. He was a completely different person than yesterday.
Yesterday, Percy was into sparring and swimming but now he's into flirting? When did that happen? And when he told me he had other plans when I asked him to sparr with me, I knew something was up with him. He always accepts my challenges. I wonder what's going on.
"So, which one of you girls want to sparr later on?" Now my jaw hit the ground. I asked him earlier and he told me head to check his schedule, which didn't exist before, if he can go and now he's asking one of them. I was angry at him, not only because he was flirting with those Aphrodite girls but because he was flirting with them in front of me! And because he refused to sparr with me t ask some girl out. But as I felt my anger, I also felt disappointment, I wanted to spend the rest of the day with Percy. I missed him over the summer. I'm still stuck between him and Luke, but I wanted to spend time with him so I'd know that if I chose him that I chose right. But, he probably didn't like me that way. Look at him, he's flirting in front of me. My disappointment turned into anger again. Then back to disappointment, then anger, then disappointment, then anger, then something else. Something I couldn't describe, was it hurt? Sadness? Jealousy? I sighed and turned back to Percy.
He was now looking at a girl with straight brown hair, light blue eyes and pink kissable lips who was smiling brightly at him.
"How about you?" he asked her and I felt that something again
"Sure" she answered shyly
"I'm Percy Jackson by the way" Percy said as he winked at her while holding his hand out.
The girl blushed and took his hand "I'm Rose Clearwater" she said while blushing. Ugh! Kill me now!
"Nice to meet you, I'll see you at the arena in about an hour; need to take a shower first." He said to them "You guys can come and watch." He said and they giggled "I meant the sparring match of course"
Then, he started to walk away but turned around to wink at them and they giggled more. Ugh! Aphrodite girls. Percy walked past me and winked at me. I blushed a little as I watched him walk inside his cabin.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
