REVIEW
I convinced Sally to let me have a sleepover with my friends from school. That includes Jess, Riley, and Alice. They already met Sally before I moved here, so she was nice enough to say yes. Seaweed brain would be there because all of the guys had plans. I laughed at him. What popular guy doesn't have plans on Friday night? Percy Jackson. He normally spent them with me. Without me being able to hang out with him, he didn't know what to do.
Percy was hanging in his room, listening to music. I smirked when I walked past his room. We were going to be sleeping in my room. This was the first night that I didn't sleep with Percy in his bed. You know, besides the first night after the telkhines. I was a bit nervous, but I could do it.
The girls arrived at around seven. We ordered a bunch of pizzas and had soda. Percy made Sally dye some of the drinks and snacks blue. The girls were really confused, but Percy tried to explain it. His explanation was, "Any food can be blue if you want it to be." Sally and I laughed while Riley, Jess, and Alice looked really confused.
We were sitting in my room, on the floor. I could faintly hear seaweed brain playing his video games.
"How'd you get Evan to leave you alone? I mean, he hasn't bothered you since you talked to him." Jess asked.
"Well, he loves me. I told him that if he truly loves me, he'll leave us alone. I guess it worked," I answered.
"That's so weird!" Alice sighed.
"Are you kidding me?" Riley nearly shouted, "Annabeth, you have two or three guys fighting over you! That's awesome! I mean, they're two pretty hot guys."
I looked at her strangely, "You think my boyfriend's hot?"
She blushed, "Oh, gosh, Annabeth, that's not what I meant. I just mean he's pretty attractive-"
"She's just kidding!" Alice told her. "You were kidding, right?"
"Yes! I don't care if you think he's hot. He is! As long as you don't go after him, I'm fine." I joked.
"Good, because, you know, I like Jake." Riley assured us, "He's hotter than all of your boyfriends!"
"No, I think Peter is the hottest. Sorry, Annabeth, but he really is hot and sweet. I don't know why he acts like that around you." Jess confessed.
"You are all wrong! Brian is the hottest!" Alice confirmed.
I laughed, "Let's say that we all have different opinions. Besides, it's obvious that Percy wins that battle!"
"Talking about me, are ya, wise girl?" I heard Percy say from the bathroom.
I turned around to see him smirking at the door way to the bathroom. He was leaning up against the doorframe. His arms were crossed against his chest.
"How long have you been there?" I asked.
His smirk grew, "Oh, only for the whole conversation. Riley, you think I'm hot?"
Riley blushed, "Shut up!"
"Seriously, seaweed brain, this is a girl party. Last time I checked, you weren't a girl!" I countered.
"You've checked?" Alice asked. She must have taken it a different way.
"When'd you check, wise girl?" Percy smirk grew even bigger.
"I didn't mean it like that! I just meant that you are a guy! I know this!" I shouted, trying to clear my name.
"Whatever floats your boat," Percy sighed.
I got serious again, "Percy, you need to leave. This is an all girls' party!"
"Hey, I'm not in the room." Percy defended. He was right. Technically, he was in the bathroom.
"When did you get so smart?" I asked.
"Oh, since I started dating the wonderful daughter of you know who." Percy smiled.
"Voldemort?" Jess asked. "Annabeth, I didn't know your dad is Voldemort!"
We all laughed. Well, all of us except Jess. She was serious.
"I thought he was he who shall not be named!" Alice added.
"You guys are really weird!" I laughed.
"So, Percy, are you gonna leave? Or do you wanna play truth or dare with us?" Riley invited.
Before Percy could move closer, I shot up and pushed him out, "We'll be right back." I pushed him into his room, "You need to stay!"
"Come on, Annabeth! Can't I just have some fun?" He complained.
"Percy, can I just have one night where I can act normal with normal friends? That means no super hero boyfriend."
"I wouldn't exactly call me a super hero."
"Percy," I sighed.
"Fine, but I'm not promising that you won't wake up with me tomorrow." He said with a smirk.
I smiled as I left the room. I closed the doors surrounding the bathroom, so that he would get the hint. He was not allowed to crash our party. This was just for girls! Percy, being the seaweed brain, probably would come in once we were asleep. Odds are, I would wake up with his strong arms around me. It's not like I had anything wrong with that. I leaned up against the final door as my friends glared at me.
"What?" I asked as I sauntered back over to my spot.
"What did you talk to Percy about?" Jess asked.
"Are you going to sneak out tonight?" Riley teased.
I laughed, "No, I was just telling him that he is not allowed to bother us. He might have told me that I'll wake up with him next to me, but that's irrelevant!"
"Dang!" Alice shouted, "You two are inseparable! How'd you get like that? I'm lucky if I get Brian to make out with me in his room."
I shrugged, "We're just like that. I mean, Sally doesn't really mind us being alone together."
"I think we've already figured that out," Riley sighed.
"Come on, Annabeth, you guys sleep together! Sally is, like, the best parent ever! Oh, and Paul." Jess pretty much shouted.
"Yeah, they're pretty awesome. Before we got together, we already spent all of our time together. We just spent it in different ways after he kissed me." I answered honestly.
"That's so sweet!" Riley cooed.
I laughed, "Not really."
"I bet that you two are the most annoying couple at camp." Jess told me.
"How'd you know?" I joked. "There was one couple before us, and they were pretty annoying. They died in that incident. Both of them."
"That's so sad. Were they together when it happened?" Alice asked.
"No, he went first. She died afterwards," I explained.
"She couldn't live without him! I wish my relationship was like that!" Riley muttered.
Jess laughed, "You wanna die?"
"No, I just meant that…I don't know what I meant. Can we move on to something else?" Riley asked. "Why hasn't Percy beat up Evan yet?"
"Yeah, you've already told us that he's a great fighter. I would pay to see them fight!" Alice agreed.
"Percy wants to fight him, he's practically told me. I've convinced him not to. If he fights him, then Percy gets suspended. That leaves me to suffer through school with Evan and Zach." I answered.
"You have Peter, Brian, Jake, and Austin. Austin is protecting you anyways!" Jess added.
"I know that, but Percy's stronger than all of them. And, no offense, they aren't the strongest guys. Evan and Zach could easily beat me up. Plus, I don't think Peter really wants to protect me from them that much." I sighed.
"Okay, can you tell me what Peter said to Percy?" Jess asked.
"Jess, he asked if I wanted to have sex with him," I murmured.
"He what?" Jess shouted.
Alice nearly laughed, "That sounds like Peter. What happened, though?"
"Well, you know how Percy reacted. You all were there. When we went into the hall, Percy explained everything to me. I was disgusted, no offense. I didn't like Peter like that, I still don't. I haven't even done it with Percy, yet, and I would do it with him before anyone else." I started.
"That's so sweet!" Alice cooed.
"Anyways, we pulled a little joke on Peter. I told him that Percy broke up with me, and I was bawling. I fake flirted with him. He believed it." I started to laugh, "Then, I called him a pig and told him off. I might have punched his jaw, too."
"You punched Peter?" Alice asked in disbelief!
"No wonder why he asked to borrow some of my cover up. I just thought he had a zit or something." Jess murmured.
"That's why he didn't have a bruise the next day!" I finalized.
"Look, Annabeth, I'm so sorry about that! He's not normally like that!" Jess begged.
I laughed, "It's okay. I'm over it, now."
"I can't believe that you punched Peter. He's way bigger than you!" Jess told me.
"Trust me when I say that I have beaten up bigger things than him. I've beaten up bigger things than him and Percy combined," I explained.
"They must have been pretty big. Where did you do this?" Riley asked.
"Oh, at the camp I go to. There were some, er, bullies there. They were picking on me and some friends. I taught them a lesson," I lied.
"Yeah, was that lesson not to mess with Annabeth? I think we learned that a while ago. Why don't you ever beat up Sierra or Evan or Zach?" Jess asked.
"I don't need to. They aren't threatening me. Plus, I don't wanna hurt them," I admitted.
"Hurt them? You sound like you're a pro wrestler," Alice laughed.
"You aren't, are you?" Riley asked.
I laughed, "No, I'm not. I'm just really tough! You can ask Percy. He's the same as me."
"I bet that he could beat you up," Jess murmured.
"Well, he probably could, but I distract him too much. I've been practicing since I was seven years old. Whenever we fight, I win, though. It's really funny! Supposedly, he's the hero of the camp." I exclaimed.
"Percy, is the hero of the camp? Aren't there people better than him? I mean, he's just a swimmer," Riley sighed.
"You would think that there are stronger kids!" Alice agreed.
I sighed, "There are, but he's done a lot for the camp. Everybody looks up to him."
"Are all of the girls after him?" Riley asked.
"Yeah, they are, but he chose me. We've been best friends and secretly had crushes on each other. Everybody that wasn't in love with him, told me that we were destined to be together."
"That's so sweet!" Jess cooed.
"You guys remember Clarisse, right?" I asked.
Alice laughed, "How could we forget her and Chris?"
"Anyways, she hated Percy, still does. When we first got to camp, she tried to shove his head in a toilet. I was there the whole time. She's one of the people that told me we were destined to be with each other. Personally, I thought she was crazy!" I explained.
"Your love life is so sweet!" Riley sighed, "I wish mine was like that! You're so lucky, Annabeth."
I chuckled, "Are we really going to go into this, again? I thought we were playing truth or dare!"
"Nope, we are going to talk about you and Percy! You'll have to get used to it!" Alice commanded.
"I get enough of this at camp!" I complained.
"You're just gonna have to suck it up!" Jess told me.
Percy came in the room, "Don't make my girlfriend do anything that she doesn't wanna do! Plus, it's time for pizza."
I hit his arm, "Were you listening?"
"Maybe," He muttered.
"I told you not to listen! Percy, you're supposed to listen to me!" I whined.
"I'm pretty sure that brothers listen to girls' conversations all of the time when they aren't supposed to. Am I right?" Percy asked my friends.
"He's right. My brothers listen to me all of the time!" Jess complained.
"Yeah, but you're my boyfriend!" I corrected him, "You are not my brother. I've grown used to Bobby or Matthew listening in on me. I don't think that my boyfriend should!"
"Well, your boyfriend loves you and just wanted to make sure you were safe." Percy explained.
I laughed, "Oh, is that what you were doing when you and Chris eavesdropped in on Clarisse and my conversations?"
"How'd you know?" Percy asked in fake shock.
"Percy, please, do not listen in on us." I begged.
"Why doesn't he just join us?" Jess asked.
"Yeah, we could get all of the guys over here and have a real party!" Riley shouted.
I blushed, "The guys are busy. Besides, Percy should be busy! Don't you have something to for camp? I think Tyson called the other day. You should probably talk to Grover."
Percy wrapped his arms around me, "Now you're just making excuses. I called Tyson this morning. Grover is in Antarctica. Camp doesn't need me to do anything."
"I'll call the guys!" Alice yelled as she ran into the living room. I couldn't hear what she was saying, but she was practically forcing them to come. She can be pretty scary.
Jess and Riley went to get some pizza. That left Percy with me in my room. His arms were still around me.
"You know, I still don't appreciate you listening to our conversations," I whispered.
He chuckled, "I know you don't. It's just what guys do. You can't blame us for it! Do you remember when Nico and Travis were listening to us?"
I laughed at the memory. It was at camp, obviously. We were alone, making out in his cabin. The campers were at lunch. We didn't feel like eating. Nico and Travis were the only ones besides us that weren't eating. Instead, they were hiding in Percy's bathroom. We found out when they jumped out of there and scared me. I chased them around the cabin until Percy cornered them. We made them promise to not tell after Percy nearly drowned them. They never actually told on us.
"Yeah, I remember that. You had to nearly drown them! Do I need to punish you?" I asked.
"It depends. What is your punishment?" He asked as he leaned in.
"I'll have to think about it. Until then, no kisses for you."
"What?" He asked in shock as I pulled away. "But you love my kisses!"
"You'll just have to get over it. Now, are you gonna apologize?" I asked.
"Do I have to?" He complained like a five year old.
I sighed and started to walk away, "You don't have to, but it would be nice.
He caught my arm and pulled me into a long kiss, "Does that make up for it?"
I hit him, "No! Your punishment is that you don't get kisses!"
Percy starred at me in disbelief. I had never punished him like that. Why was I doing it in the first place? Oh, yeah. I wanted him to apologize. That wasn't going to happen any time soon. Well, maybe it was going to. I would just have to act like I was really punishing him. That wouldn't be easy. I wanted to kiss him probably as badly as he wanted to kiss me.
"Are you serious?" He asked. I nodded, so he went on, "Wise girl, I think that's your punishment, too. Are you serious?"
I sighed, "I don't wanna do this, seaweed brain. I just want you to apologize. Until then, you won't get any kisses from me."
Jess took this opportunity to barge in. "Hey, the guys will be over really soon. It's been established. Was I interrupting something?"
I made sure I was across the room from Percy, "Nope, you weren't interrupting anything. Percy's not going to apologize, so nothing is going on here."
"Come on, wise girl. I'm sorry. I am truly sorry for listening to you after you said not to." Percy begged.
"Good, you should be." I huffed.
"Are you two having a fight?'' Jess asked.
I hugged Percy, "Not anymore. Percy did what I wanted."
"Whipped!" Jess muttered under her breath.
Jess and I giggled while Percy glared at her. His arms finally wrapped around me. I stood up on my toes and pecked his cheek. Jess cooed at this action. That made me giggle some more. Why was I giggling so much? I thought I was over acting like a daughter of Aphrodite! I guess not. Anyways, I relaxed into Percy's arms as Alice strutted her way in the room.
"Percy, I love your parents!" Alice nearly shouted in his ears as she plopped down on the bed.
"And why are my parents so awesome?" Percy asked in confusion.
"They're gone! I mean, they didn't just disappear. That would be weird, right? Anyways, they told me that they were going out with some friends! Isn't that awesome?" Alice shouted, this time.
I laughed, "I'm guessing the guys are sleeping over?"
Riley barged in the room, "Yes, they are. That was just Peter confirming that they were all on their way."
"What are we going to do?" Jess asked.
"I still can't believe that your parents allowed us to be here alone! I mean, we all have boyfriends that are coming over. They knew about that! This is so amazing!" Riley repeated.
"They trust me," I explained. "It's not like I would let seaweed brain, here, do anything bad."
"And they don't trust me?" Percy asked, faking hurt.
I chuckled, "Percy, honey, you've been blamed for blowing up schools. I don't think they trust you home alone."
"You've blown up schools?" Alice asked, interrupting us.
"That's beside the point!" Percy told her. He turned his attention back to me, "They trust me alone all summer with my girlfriend. I do have a cabin to myself all summer!"
"Yeah, but there's Chiron and Mr. D there. Plus, our other parents would know right away if something was going on. They know everything, remember?" I argued. "Technically, you're not alone. You just have a cabin to yourself. That's if Tyson isn't visiting."
By this time, Percy was sitting next to Alice on the bed. I was standing in the middle of the room, right in front of him. Riley and Jess were leaning back against his dresser. All of them looked highly uncomfortable in this situation. I didn't care that I let our director's name slip. They had no idea about them. All of them were terrible at Greek mythology. It's not like our parents are very smart.
"My parents trust me!" Percy shouted.
"Percy, did they ever leave you home before me?" I asked, calmly.
He shrugged, "I don't think so."
"That proves my point!" I insisted.
He accepted defeat as we heard a knock at the door. Of course, it was the guys. This was going to be a long night.
