Can't Nobody Love Me Like You: Chapter 7
I walked in a daze, trying to figure out where I was. "Annabeth, Annabeth!" I looked to my right. Percy was standing there, his hoodie covering only half of his head. "Annabeth!" Percy repeated, a goofy grin appearing on his face. "How did I,"
"Shh!" Percy motioned me to follow. My feet moved in his direction. He took me down a bank and into a field that was full of juicy, ripe, red strawberries. I picked one. "Are they sweet?" He asked, his arms covering mine. I blushed as red as the strawberries. "Mmm. Yeah, you should try one." He shook his head and smiled. "I already have!" He exclaimed. I cocked my head. "How did you find these?" I asked quietly. He just kept smiling. "Are these yours?" I asked. No response. Suddenly my dream changed. I was running in the fields. The sky was a dark shade of crimson. Percy was nowhere to be seen. I just kept running. As far as my legs could take me. I looked behind me once, twice, three times! I was being chased. Then I ran into something with a loud thump.
I shot up in bed, my eyes wide open with fear. I got up and turned on my light, trying to reprehend what had just happened. I needed fresh air. I walked outside and looked around. The sky was a dark shade of black. It was still morning. A pain shot through my foot and I looked down. It was a rock. I picked it up and tossed it in my hand. School was starting up again in a few hours and I couldn't let anything distract me. "Stupid rock." I tossed it over the edge frowning at its disappearance. Then i realized something. I threw the rock to Percy. What if he had thrown it back?
Oh.
My.
Gosh.
I peered over the edge and looked around, knowing that I wouldn't be able to see it from here. I went back inside and climbed back into bed. "I wonder what it said." I smiled at the thought of a cheesy poem or a word spelled wrong. I fell asleep thinking of seeing his goofy grin tomorrow.

My eyes opened slowly. I glanced at my clock, which was saying 6:15. I frowned. The disadvantage of going to school. I grabbed my robe and went downstairs to make some coffee. I grabbed the cup that said 'What An Idiot.' I smiled at the thought of Hermione Granger. Then I walked upstairs and went outside. The air smelled of smoke and dust. Ahh, New York. There was some shuffling and the door beside me opened. A strangely familiar girl walked out of Percy's apartment. She had on a blue robe and her caramel hair was in a braid. I squinted at the girl. Thats where I know her from! The day I went into his room. The girl he was on skype with. She looked at me and waved. "Hi!" I slowly waved back, the anger boiling inside of me. So that's what the rock said. 'Hey Annabeth my ex is coming over. Sorry but I'm not gonna go on anymore dates with you.'or something among the lines of that. She sipped her cup and stared at the horizon. The door shuffled again and Percy came out. "Why are you really here?" He asked. The girl crossed her arms. "Why can't I come and see my boyfriend?" Boyfriend? Really? Percy looked over as if he just noticed me. "Annabeth-" I smiled sweetly at him. "Hi Calypso. Glad you could come. Percy's been so down lately." I commented. Calypso smirked slightly. "Me too! Being his girlfriend and all."
"Calypso!" Percy shrieked. That's confirms my theory. They were back together. I put my cup down and went inside, grabbing Percy's hoodie. "Here." I handed it to Calypso. "Thanks! It is cold out here!" Percy stepped forward. "Annabeth, she's not-" I rolled my eyes. "Thanks for the ice cream. It was delicious. We should never do that again anytime soon!" I smiled and waved goodbye. I went on my bed and sat there. "This is what I get for even remotely thinking a guy would like me. That's when my phone went off. It was a message from Luke.
Hey. Wanna go to the upcoming dance this Friday with me?
I dropped my phone on the floor. Holy crap. The dance was this Friday. The school always does dances the first week of school. I sighed.
Idk. Maybe?
Percy would be taking Calypso.
Of course.
I picked up my phone.
