Chapter Twenty-one

Annabeth's POV

I sighed. Okay, I'm gonna read them, yeah I'm gon – Arg, I can't do it. He probably never wants to speak to me again.

Oh well, fuck it. I need to know what they say. . I thought.

Seaweed Brain;

Annabeth, we need to talk.

Seaweed Brain;

Annabeth why did you run out?

Seaweed Brain;

Annabeth?

Seaweed Brain;

Annabeth talk to me!

Seaweed Brain;

Annabeth please stop ignoring me! Come on Wise Girl, talk to me..

I sighed again, this time in relief. At least he didn't hate me.

"Annabeth!" My dad called. "If you don't hurry you'll be late!" Gotta face Percy sooner or later. . . maybe later.

"Okay, I'm coming!" I shouted back. I really didn't want to see Percy yet. I knew he didn't hate me but it would still be awkward. Especially after what I did. . I blushed at the memory.

You loved it though. The naughtier part of my brain supplied. Eh, no stop that! Gotta go to school.

Percy's POV

I felt like such an idiot. It was already third hour (Swimming) and Annabeth hadn't spoken to me yet. Nico was absent today so it was just me, Annabeth, and Thalia. Awkward.

"Uh, um coach? Can I sit out today. . I'm not feeling so well." I heard Annabeth's voice a little ways behind me, talking to the coach. She didn't want to swim today? Because of me.

I felt a sudden tug, pulling me back.

"Okay, what's going on with you and Annabeth? I swear if you – "

"I didn't do anything!" I said quickly, cutting her off. She sighed heavily, sounding irritated.

"Then. What. Happened?" She grounded out. "Annabeth won't tell me anything, so I'm guessing it was something bad." I groaned, she probably would never talk to me again.

"Well, she came over last week to tutor me – " She raised her eyebrow questioningly. "No! Not like that! Anyway we worked for about an hour, and I asked for help on this one problem but she wouldn't help me so I threatened to tickle her and ended up kissing her. ." Thalia sighed.

"So that's why she won't tell me." She groaned. "She is so stubborn! She won't admit she was wrong even when the truth is right in her face!" It was my turn to ask the questions.

"Uh, sorry what?" She sputtered, realizing she had said to much. Grinning she stated.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out. . Well hopefully." I scoffed.

"That sounds like something Silena would say. ." She glared at me for a moment before shaking her head,

"Annabeth is right, you do have kelp for brains."

Annabeth's POV

I just asked the coach if I could sit out today because I didn't want it to be awkward with Percy. Well, more awkward then it already was. . He heard me talking to coach, I know he did. I didn't want him to think it was his fault, but I couldn't face him yet.

I turned to see what he was doing just in time to see Thalia yank him back by his shoulder. She said something to him that made him blush furiously. What was she talking about? I put my head in my hands trying not to thing about how Thalia was making my Seaweed Brain blush.

No! It shouldn't matter, it's not like he likes you and you don't like him. I was really hating my brain right about now. I sat there and kept watching them.

Thalia seemed to be doing a lot of glaring. .

"Hey." A preppy voice sounded beside me. I nearly jumped a foot in the air. She scared me bad, and it's hard to sneak up on Annabeth Chase.

"So watching Percy huh?" I blushed looking away.

"No!" She smirked, clearly enjoying my embarrassment.

"Oh really? Then why was it so easy for me to sneak up on you?" I ignored the question and instead asked one of my own.

"Why are you here? You don't even have this class. ." She nodded.

"I know. But I needed to check up on you. You and Percy seem distant, what's going on?" I looked away from her.

"It's nothing." Not leaving me alone, she asked.

"I don't believe you. Spill."

:/

Well that's it for today.. it was longer than the last chapter though! && All the "She"'s and "Her"'s were intended. Can you guess who it is?
