Chapter 2
All eyes were on Annabeth and Chris' intertwined hands. Chiron gave Annabeth a knowing smile, and Mr. D sneered.
"So, Arianna Chance and Corey Rogue are finally a couple? Well, congratulations! This calls for a celebration. Someone go get the wine," Mr. D said.
A split second later, a bolt of lightning hit his purple button-down Hawaiian shirt, which Annabeth found an improvement to his outfit. He narrowed his eyes at her and snapped his fingers. A grape vine grew and coiled around her.
"Mr. D…" Chiron said, warning evident in his voice.
Mr. D sighed and the vines began to whither and die.
Everything was silent, as people were still gazing at Annabeth and Chris. Chris, being the great actor he was, wrapped his arm around her.
"Are you okay, Annie?" he asked, looking concerned.
Annabeth was about to protest Chris calling her Annie, but then she caught sight of Percy. She swore she saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes. She smiled inwardly. Maybe this would work, after all.
"I'm fine, Chris. Really," she said, hoping her acting sounded half as convincing as Chris did.
Chris steered her to her table, gave her a light kiss on the forehead, and then walked to his table.
"So how did it happen?" Jasmine asked curiously.
Annabeth wasn't ready to let her in on the plan just yet, so she did the obvious thing. She lied.
"Well Chris asked to talk to me, and then confessed his huge crush, and I thought it was sweet. I should really get over Percy. I can't spend the rest of my life hoping he'll brake up with Clarisse," she said, shrugging nonchalantly.
Jasmine didn't look convinced, but she let it go.
Annabeth was in the Arena, sword fighting with her biggest enemy, Silena Beauregard, an arrogant daughter of Ares.
Annabeth almost had her, but Silena tripped her, and Annabeth fell on her face. (A/N: Sorry, I'm not goo with fight scenes. Those go to my Beta and co-author!) Silena kicked Annabeth in the back, and then walked away, laughing with her boyfriend, Luke Castellan.
Luke was a son of Hecate, and had originally been best friends with Annabeth. Then, when Hecate claimed him, and he started acting strange. He started hanging out with the troublemakers. Then, he started noticing Silena, and eventually, they started dating. That was that.
"Oh my gods, Annabeth! Are you okay?" Jasmine and her best friends, Ruby Keller and Ahlen and Audrey Smith ran over.
Ruby was a tall, lean German-American girl with honey blonde hair and electric blue eyes. She was sweet and shy, but if you messed with her, boy, you were in for it. Zeus had claimed her a year ago. Today, she was wearing her orange camp T-shirt and a pair of black jeans with her white Converse.
Ahlen and Audrey were twin daughters of Hermes. They were African American girls with blue-grey eyes and long black hair. The only way to tell them apart was their skin color or height. Ahlen was about an inch taller than Audrey, (A/N: No, these are not the Stoll's. You'll find out about them later in the story.) but Audrey's hair was a few inches longer than Ahlen's.
"Yeah, I'm okay guys. Really, I'm cool," Annabeth said, getting up.
Percy ran over to the group, looking worried.
"Annabeth, are you-" he started, but was cut off by Chris.
"Annabeth! Oh my gods, what happened? Are you okay, Annie?"
"Chris, Annabeth doesn't like being called Annie," Percy said, matter of factly.
"Actually, Percy, I love when Chris calls me Annie. But only Chris," Annabeth said.
"But Annabeth-" Percy once again was cut of by Chris.
"Thanks for your help, Percy, but me and Annie should be going," Chris said.
"You know, I don't even think you too are dating. You always stay away from public eye, like you're hiding something," Percy said, narrowing his eyes.
Annabeth started to panic. Was she always this see-through? Could she be that bad an actress? Chris on the other hand, looked steaming mad.
"Oh yeah, Jackson. Watch this," Chris said, before grabbing Annabeth around the waist and kissing her. Annabeth was surprised at first, but then she wrapped her hands around his neck.
Kissing Chris almost felt sinister to her, but it also felt good. His lips were soft and warm, and they tasted like honey. Though, she felt like the kiss was missing something. Though, how would she know? Embarrassingly enough, Chris was her first kiss. Pretty dweebish, huh? She was 16 and was just getting her first kiss, and it wasn't even from the guy she liked.
Suddenly, she heard a gasp. She turned around and saw…
Ooooh, cliffy. I'm evil, I know. Who can guess who it is. First person to guess gets a cookie! I'm going to put a special Valentines story up. Percabeth, of course!
