Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I just got a new laptop, and I'm struggling to add all of my old files. Anyways, here is the next chapter. Knock your selves out! Now, on with the show!
"Percy, please!"
Annabeth had tears running down her face. Percy, however, seemed not to notice her.
"Annabeth, I thought we had something."
"We did, I swear!" She said, her voice cracking. Percy shook his head. He had heard this before.
"Then why?"
"Why what?" She snapped, but it sounded weak through her tears.
"Why did you leave me for Grover?"
"Grover?"
"Yes, Grover! You know, the guy who smells bad and used to date you?"
Realization dawned over Annabeth.
"Percy, you don't understand. I did it for you. I wanted you to get jealous! I…I love you!"
"It's over, Annabeth. In fact, it never started." With that, he turned around and never looked back.
Percy jolted awake from his dream. Before he could process what he just dreamed of, his alarm clock went off. He sneaked a glance at the clock, and jumped up. He was going to be late for school! He hopped out of bed and quickly got dressed.
He had plenty of time to ponder over his dream as he got to school. When he finally got there, he sighed and decided to confront Annabeth.
He caught her at the side of the school, flipping through a book, but not really looking at the pages.
"Hi," Percy said, waiting. She finally looked up.
"Hullo," she said, not meeting his eyes.
"I need to talk to you."
"I figured that much."
He chuckled, allowing that one to slide, and sat next to her.
"I heard what happened to you and Grover."
"How did you hear about that?"
"He told me."
"Oh." She blushed, clearly thinking Grover told me everything. No, Thalia did, but it was a start.
"Well…I…I…I didn't, you know…" She stammered. I laughed, and didn't allow her to finish. I kissed her before she could protest. We finally pulled apart, and she blushed again.
"I had a dream. A dream where you told me how you felt about me. But I didn't listen, and I don't want that to actually happen." I finished and looked at her. She seemed to be thinking deeply, but she finally cracked a small smile.
"Okay."
There was a moment of silence before I spoke. "Okay? That's it? Okay?"
She laughed. "Seaweed Brain."
"Seaweed Brain?"
She smirked. "Do you prefer Kelp Face?"
"Seaweed Brain is great," I said, faking fear. She laughed, and the world suddenly seemed brighter. I looked up to see Thalia smiling at us. She winked at me, then walked away. Annabeth was still laughing.
"Shut up!" I said. When she fell silent, I smiled.
"That's better." I said, and kissed her again. We almost missed the bell ringing.
Better? Percy and Annabeth are back together! Too bad this is Percy's world, and it's almost never drama-free. Get ready! Read and review. TatianaBieber out.
