Chapter 2
Percy POV
I saw her. The most beautiful girl in the world. Annabeth Chase. We have been separated for two years now and I was wondering if she forgave me for leaving her. She was trying not to look up and I decided to get her attention. I walked over to her seat and sat on top of her table. Everyone gasped. "What was that for!" She screamed. "This." I said. I cupped my hands over her face and gave her a kiss. She pushed me away. I was shocked. My girlfriend had just pushed me away. "What's wrong? You haven't answered my calls emails and texts, now my girlfriend won't kiss me?" I questioned. "Perseus Jackson, you know exactly what's wrong! You left me in 8th grade without a warning. Nothing. In 6th grade, you promised you would always be by me and then you left. And whoever said that I am still your girlfriend, well they're wrong. I HATE you!" she screamed. I was in shock. "B-But I really am sorry P-please…" I stuttered. "No Percy, enough. Mr. Brunner, may I please be excused?" she asked. "Of course" He said. With that, she walked out leaving me dumbfounded.
"Well then, continue with the welcome." Travis yelled. All my old friends welcomed me and whispered stuff about Olympus. I was having a great time until a girl walked up to me. "Well hunny, why don't you and I go out sometime? My name is Taylor." She whispered. I knew I hated this girl immediately. She reminded me of Drew back at camp.
Ever heard of the statement 'saved by the bell'? Well, that is what happened to me. The bell had rung and I sprinted out as fast as I could. I looked at my schedule and next class was History. Great… I hated history of anything! I kept on running until I smashed into someone. "Woah Perce! Slow down there. The speed limit here is probably about 10 mph." It was my friend Beckendorf. Behind him were the rest except well… Annabeth.
"So are you okay with Annabeth? I mean she's probably just in shock." Katie said. I nodded the bad memory zapping back. "Percabeth shall prevail!" The Barbie voice of Silena squealed. Silena is a daughter of Aphrodite but she isn't as girly. "Percabeth?" I questioned. "Yes! Percabeth! Your couple name!" She squealed even more. Wow I was only gone for about two years!
History was the worst. My ADHD was acting up and I was fiddling with Riptide, my sword-pen. I was worried I would fiddle with it so much that it would open up! Still no sign of Annabeth. It really wasn't like her to miss a class. She was a daughter of Athena after all. When the bell rang, I grabbed my stuff and went outside to look for her. I looked everywhere.
Eventually, I went outside to get some fresh air. As I stood outside, I heard sobbing. I turned around the corner to see a teary eyed Annabeth, clutching onto something. Something I could not identify. She looked up and I ducked for her not to see me. I got a closer look at the object. Then, I realized what it really was.
