I had just gotten back to camp a few months into the school year because one of my teachers turned out to be a Sphinx, and the person I was dieing to see, wasn't here but I knew he would come so I wait on the steps of my cabin everyday. I cared less and less about my appearance, especially when I know he's not there. I feel no need to com my hear if he's not there to see me. Sometimes I would cry myself to sleep, actually all the time. My face was always red from crying now, and the only person who can make me stop isn't here with me. It started last year when I was confused about everything. As soon as I got back to camp, I noticed no one was there, then after months of waiting I realized who the person I longed for the most was now I wait.

Flashback

I was back at camp bored out of my mind, I had just come back in the middle of the school year because my teacher turned out to be a Sphinx. The reason I was bored was because no one who was my friend was there. Only ten, maybe more maybe less, demigods were there, mostly Aphrodite and Athena kids though. Two from Aries cabin, four from Apollo cabin, and five from Hermes cabin, the rest were in mine and Aphrodite's cabin. I usually went to archery to take up time. I saw Dexter running up to me with a box in his hands. He breathed in and out trying to catch his breath.
"Annabeth, where have you been?" He asked me coughing.
"By the archery field." I answered.
Dexter was my half brother and one of my closest siblings.
"Well this package came for you." He said handing it to me. "See ya."
I looked at the package It was from my dad. As soon as I opened it I knew what it was, my dad's new book, but there were two books there. The other book had a blank cover and had a note attached to it.

Dear Annabeth, my dear daughter, I saw this lying in one of your boxes and I thought you might want it.

Love
Dad

I opened the book and what I saw made me blush deep red. Of coarse it was my Diary, and my dad had the nerve to even look at it. I flipped through the pages one by one until one page caught my interest. It was an entry from last year I felt very embarrassed at this page, so I held it close to my face where no one could see it. It was a picture I drew, it was gray and blue, I know not very good color choices, but it seemed like it at the time. The picture was of me, and Percy, when we were attacked by those monsters in the volcano, and more importantly when I kissed him. I didn't like doing that I just felt that is was right. In the picture I had my hands behind my back and my eyes were closed, as I kissed him. His cartoon face was surprised and dazed. I prayed to Athena that my dad or anyone didn't see this picture. I was really confused when I drew that picture, I mean who wouldn't be, I thought my best friend died trying to save me, but that was before he showed up at camp.

I walked though camp interested in what I wrote so far, until the book was ripped away from my grip by, you guessed it…Clarisse.
"So, what are you reading Wise girl." The way she said it was an insult.
"GIVE THAT BACK!" I yelled.
She didn't care what I yelled, screamed, or even kicked, she just kept flipping through it until she got to the drawing. I stopped yelling, after seeing the look on Clarisee's face. I turned on my heels, after grabbing the book from her grip, and ran towards my cabin.

When I got there I laid on my bed. It wouldn't be long before everyone thought I liked Percy. Clarisee was worse then anyone of the Aphrodite girls, when it came to gossip.
