Chapter 2: Percy
He was so excited about the news Annabeth had just told him. She had pretty much laid out their entire lives, together. How could he not be excited. He didn't even want to leave her side, like he has been lately since they went through Tartarus together.
~Flashback~
"Hey Percy, can you come here, I have something to tell you," Annabeth called to him.
"Oh gods," Percy thought, "what could I have done this time?"
She whispered something in his ear and his eyes grew to the size of golf balls. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He was starting to daze off until Annabeth slapped his arm, "Seaweed brain!"
"Sorry, sorry, it's just a lot to take in." She had just told him about staying together for their senior year in New York! She then said that they could go to college together in New Rome at Camp Jupiter and that Hazel and Frank said they could live in New Rome as long as they like.
~End Flashback~
Percy seriously could not contain his excitement. He started running around camp and pretty much telling anyone he could about what had just happened. Once he was finally able to calm himself down a bit he went to look for Annabeth since he had just run off from her.
He found her sitting in the Athena cabin carefully studying her Daedalus laptop, as usual. He snuck up to her and shut the lid of the computer from behind. She quickly turned around and pulled her hand back preparing to slap the person who had interrupted her studies. Percy flinched back but saw her relax once she saw who it was, a small smile appearing on her face. "You better be careful next time Seaweed brain, anyone else would have gotten slapped for that."
"Thanks so much," Percy said sarcastically, "but you wouldn't hit this gorgeous face of mine would you?" That time she actually did slap him.
"That's for being a stupid Seaweed brain."
"Ya but I'm your stupid Seaweed brain." He grabbed her hand and pulled her up to stand off her bed. He gave her a hug before dragging her out the door. He ran to the canoe lake and jumped in quickly making an air bubble around them so they both could breath.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. "I love you Wise Girl," and with that he pulled her as close as he possibly could and kissed her. They both pulled away out of breath with the biggest smile on their faces.
"I love you too Seaweed brain." This time she leaned in just enough for their lips to barely touch each other and then pulled away and swam up to the top of the lake. He stood there dumb founded for a while until he finally willed the water to push him to the top.
When he got there Annabeth was sitting on the shore. He got out of the lake and sat down beside her. "What was that for?"
"That's for messing with my studying." She then kissed him on the cheek, stood up, and walked back to her cabin. Percy sat there for a while enjoying the sounds of the niades in canoe lake and watching the stars until it was time for him to go back to the Posiedon cabin.
