"What?"Luke asked again.
Annabeth just shook her head. "Well, Percy I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow."
"What? You're coming back tomorrow?" Percy happily blurted out. Annabeth laughed evilly.
"No Seaweed Brain, I'll see you at the wedding."
Percy had never minded Annabeth calling him Seaweed Brain, but now she was just being plain mean. "Whatever", he said, starting up the stairs to his bedroom, tearing up the invitation as he went. He heard the front door open and then shut. Good they had left. He sighed and looked down at the torn up pieces of paper in his hands. He went over to his dresser to get some glue so he could glue the pieces back together. When he opened the drawer, he saw the teddy bear Annabeth had given him for his birthday last year. A tear slid down his check.
He wiped it away. "Stupid saltwater", he muttered. Salt water…..Instead of going to the wedding he could visit Dad and Tyson in the sea kingdom! He automatically started to feel better. He pulled on his pj's and turned off his light. He then crawled into bed. It felt empty without Annabeth there beside him. He snuggled deeper under the covers. He had just begun to drift of when his cell phone rang. Or as Annabeth liked to joke, his shell phone. Percy picked it off of his table and pressed the on button.
"Hello?" He said sleepily into the phone. Someone was crying on the other line. He sat up. "Hello? What's going on? Is anyone there?" A voice came on.
"P-P-Percy? It's Annabeth."
"Oh."His voice became harsher, "What do you want?"
Annabeth sobbed harder into the receiver. "I'm s-s-soo sorry Percy. I didn't mean to leave you. It's just Luke's so handsome. But I didn't think he'd do this!"
"What what did he do?" Percy asked frantically.
"H-h-he told me if I even touched the waffles he'd kill me. Then he'd sell me as a slave to Hades."
Percy jumped out of bed. "I'm on my way Annabeth. I'll kick the little bitch's ass". The sobbing stopped. Instead Annabeth started laughing. "Haheeha you fell for it! You really fell for it. Ahh that's funny. Well g'night Percy see you tomorrow." And she hung up. Percy stared at the phone in his hand, now emitting a Beep! Beep! Beep! from it. And once again that tear fell. But he left it there this time. He just continued to stare at the phone until the sun came up over the mountains.
