Hey guys so I have been thinking about the rejection A LOT. So if it sucks, its because there was to much thought on my side. (thats why it took so long to update) Im so excited to write this...so lets not stall! don't own it...I mean I am a girl.
Annabeth's POV:
So here I am: a pathetic lovesick girl who is crying next to a tree.
Wanna know why? I do too. I want to know why this daughter of Athena—the strongest there is—is crying about a son of Poseidon, and why she is crying because the man she loves sorta kinda just kissed her. I mean normal people would love that happening to them.
I think it was my old self running away, like always. My teenage years are the years to be proud of and ashamed of.
My old instincts were acting up since I haven't had a sword fight in a long time. I let my old teenage self back into my body and try to win against Percy, yet it still didn't work. He's just to good. I tried to no avail.
When he leaned down, I got all surprised...like a teenager. I saw all our memories of the past between us and as he got dangerously close I just couldn't take the pain of the memories. I struggled trying to get away. I ran away tears streaming down my face from the harsh memories of our break-up.
So, back to the present. Here I am a pathetic loser who probably made the boy she..loves think that she rejected him.
Great.
I sat down putting my head against the tree wishing all this conflict would just disappear. I wanted to find Percy and tell him I'm sorry. I know a daughter of Athena apologizing—weird, but our pride has to bow down to what is right sometimes.
Most of all, I really hoped that he didn't take it the wrong way, but knowing Seaweed Brain I can pretty much guarantee that he took it as a rejection.
I sighed and looked back at the arena. I saw that stupid Hermes kid running away and I knew that Percy was mad. I mentally smacked myself for such a foolish move I had made. I mean if I had never broken up with him then I wouldn't be in all this painful mess.
After about 5 minutes of staring at my old home I saw Percy walk out and I nearly jumped with nervousness. How was I supposed to explain this to him.
I suddenly realized I had to go to the movies with him and cursed underneath my breath. Of course I want to go but it might be a little awkward if I don't work this out before we went.
Percy's POV:
After the little scene and washing off all my sweat I slowly walked back to my cabin attempting to think.
'Maybe it was a mistake, but why would it be? She's rejected me once why wouldn't she do it again? Smooth move there, Percy.' I thought to myself. I stuffed my hands in my pocket and found a bracelet this little kid made me a long time ago. It had waves and a trident on it.
The little girl gave it to me right after Annabeth and I's breakup. She felt bad and she offered to be my girlfriend. She was like 8 so I just ruffled her hair and pointed to this little boy on the volleyball court and told her that he has been staring at her for awhile now. She just blushed and went to play. And want to know the most ironic thing? They are dating now. I can set other people up but not myself?
I walked in and sat down on the couch whileI putting the bracelet in my pocket because whenever I see it, I know that love is out there. And I know that whoever it may be (preferably Annabeth) will come knocking on my door.
About 30 seconds later there was a knock on my door. (AN: hmmmmmm who could it be?o.O)
I opened it wryly and looked down to see Annabeth muttering to herself.
I felt the awkward tension so I attempted to make it stop.
"So...uh...what are you doing here?" I asked.
She just walked inside like it was no big deal, but I could read all over her face that she indeed was hesitant.
"Uh...Percy? I-I just wanna say-"
"What?" I interrupted.
"Well I was getting to it but you so rudely interrupted me! Anyways, I can explain my actions and I am really sorry. Its just when you leaned in I got all sad because I was thinking about our..uh..breakup..and it just made me really sad, so thats why I ran away...crying...".
I was literally stunned/shocked/relieved..you get the picture. Im also pretty sure that my face said it too.
"Annabeth," I started after awhile of silence, "It's ok, don't worry about it. I don't hold grudges, but I do against little nasty Hermes children." I said.
She just laughed and said, "Do you still want to go to the movies with muah?" she said while making her hand showcase herself while saying muah.
I laughed and nodded. "Wanna go now? I bet there will be tons of times to see it. We are bound to get there for 7 o'clock ones."
"Ok, Percy."
We walked outside and got into my car, but on the way there she started something.
She had slipped her hand under mine and wrapped her warm hands into mine.
I can tell you this: that was nothing that prepared me for what was to come.
YAY! I FINALLY UPDATED! Super romance chap coming up! WOO! So REVIEW PEOPLE!
