The Love Trip
Chapter six - old mates
Annabeth pov
Ok I am staying in an apartment; room 1, Centaur Street and I may be sharing it with five other people. Great. Just what I needed. A whole lot of people disturbing me from my studies and architecture business. Ugh.
So I get to the house and there is a note in the door in English and Greek so both people can understand it. It read:
Temporary apartment-owners out. Will return in ten minutes. Signed, Luke C, Nico dA and Thalia G. Xx
What!? This couldn't be? It is? Really? Awesome!
So I opened the door to my new, shared holiday home and, to my surprise, it was amazing! It had cream wallpaper and beige, leather furniture. It had little figures of the Greek gods. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Athena, Hermes, etc. I settled myself down on one of the chairs. I almost fell in and falling asleep on them! I woke myself up and packed my things away, remembering that I might be sharing an apartment with my friends from camp! I feel like I have been lifted high in the air. Then the door opened.
They all looked different. Nico had grown taller and his face was more mature. Thalia's hair had grown and was wearing thicker, black eye-liner and Luke had combed his hair in a funny parting then I realised. These people weren't different inside. Who cares, that was all crammed into a few seconds.
When they saw me, the expressions on their faces told all.
"A-A-Annabeth? Is that y-you?" They all said with faces of confusion, happiness and doubt.
It sure is! I said, running up to them and giving all if them a hug individually. I hugged Thalia and as I stared into her eyes, she looked as if I had overloaded her with nostalgia. Tears started to slide down her cheek, even though she was smiling. Luke and Nico started rummaging their bags for tissues and surprisingly, got some out at the same time.
"Thalia, take my tissue." Luke gestured pleadingly.
"No, you must take my tissue, Thalia." Nico said soothingly with hidden anger that was easily noticeable. I gave Thalia my tissue and she took it. Once she had her eyes dry, she smacked both Nico and Luke, who had been fighting over who should give her a tissue but hadn't realised that she was better and instantly, they sprang back into reality.
"Stupid boys, eh?" She rolled her eyes.
I know how you feel! I said agreeing.
"So how's life, y'know relationship wise..." She quizzed.
Oh, nothing interesting. I'm still single. What about you? I lied. No-one knew about my feelings about Percy...
"Ugh, these two have been fighting over me like I'm the new action toy - ever since I moved in here!" She said, rubbing her forehead, as if she had been stressed out for a long time.
Well, I'm here now so you won't have to worry. I patted her on the shoulder.
"Sure, sure, I do hope so." And we sat down enjoying a drink catching up on how life was and is now.
"So gimme details!" Thalia propped herself on the small sofa, next to me.
Should I tell her? I thought, pulling a face which Thalia noticed.
"Are you ok, Annabeth?" Thalia winced at me.
Oh no, I'm fine, just trying to recall memories of our time together. I lied.
"Sure, carry on." She gestured to me.
Well today, I-I err, got on a plane here and guess who was sitting next to me?
"Errrrrm, Percy? Perhaps?" She guessed.
Yeah, see as like I can't get away from him. I put my head in my hands.
Then the door unlocked. I thought it could be Luke or Nico, but they swerve chatting in the kitchen. Thalia, one, me, two, Nico, three, Luke, four. There are only four of us here. Six share an apartment, so we probably have two more guests. Ooh, I wonder.
What?! I shouted as the two new guests came in.
What do you think, where should Percabeth's relationship go? Please, please review!
