Chapter 2: We Meet Again
PERCY'S POV
I was in the mall, when I bumped into someone. Who would've guessed? It was Annabeth. It's been 3 months after graduation day, and our break up. I haven't seen or heard from her since then. I thought I'd moved on, but seeing her made me remember how painful it was. I guess I never really moved on.
"Ow," she said as she fell to the ground.
"Uh, sorry."
"It's cool. Oh gods. Percy!?" she exclaimed, holding my hand to help her get up.
"What's up, wise girl?"
"What is up, seaweed brain?"
"I haven't seen you since we, uh, let me start over. I haven't seen you since graduation day."
"I haven't heard from you either."
"You got a boyfriend, now?"
"Nah… you got a girlfriend?"
"Nah-uh…"
"Why not?"
"I don't feel like it. After all, I was traumatized. You broke my heart, didn't you," I said laughing.
She laughed, too.
"Hey, uh, want lunch?"
"Right. I'm hungry."
"Your treat."
"What?"
"Your treat…"
"Why me?"
"I helped you get up a while ago, so, you owe me… And you broke my heart, remember?"
"Whatever, seaweed brain…"
"Hah! It's your treat!!!"
"Never…"
"Come on."
She stuck her tongue out.
"If you don't treat me lunch, I'll announce your name via PA, telling that your dog was looking for you," I laughed.
"Like it'll happen."
"It will, Annabeth Chase."
"Hey. Stop."
"I can't hear you."
"Shut up!"
"Right."
"Okay. I'll treat you…"
"Oh yeah."
"You happy?"
"Absolutely."
We headed to Lady Marizze's. I ordered a risotto and a Kremna Rezina. Annabeth ordered lasagna and mille feuille. We sat down and chatted.
Even though we were there for like an hour, no one bothered to bring up the incident on our graduation day. We, as much as possible, avoided that topic. After eating, we went home, because she said she has other things to do.
"Uh, nice seeing you again, Percy."
"Nice seeing you, too."
"Oh right. Keep in touch. ! Add me"
"Right. Add me, too… , k?
"Got it, see you soon…"
"Right."
Then we went home. I think I still love her. Then, I thought of the times we spent together when we were still dating. When I thought I'd moved on, I see her again. And now, I realized that I still love her…
ANNABETH'S POV
I just finished buying stuff for dad. I was about to head home when I bumped into someone. I fell to the ground.
"Ow," I said.
"Uh, sorry," he said.
Hey, that voice sounded familiar. And when I looked at him, It was none other than Percy Jackson.
"It's cool. Oh gods. Percy!?"
"What's up, wise girl?"
"What is up, seaweed brain?"
"I haven't seen you since we, uh, let me start over. I haven't seen you since graduation day."
"I haven't heard from you either," I said, trying to hide the sadness on my face, upon remembering the incident.
"You got a boyfriend, now?"
"Nah… you got a girlfriend?"
I never had a boyfriend, and it's because I couldn't move on. I still love you, Percy… if only I could say that.
"Nah-uh…"
"Why not?"
"I don't feel like it. After all, I was traumatized. You broke my heart, didn't you," he said, laughing.
I think he did move on. Well, he did move on. I just laughed with him. I needed to hide my emotions. I don't want to cry in front of him, do I?
"Hey, uh, want lunch?" he asked
"Right. I'm hungry."
"Your treat."
"What?"
"Your treat…"
"Why me?"
"I helped you get up a while ago, so, you owe me… And you broke my heart, remember?"
His words struck me again. It's like Zeus's lightning bolt was stabbed through my heart.
"Whatever, seaweed brain…"
"Hah! It's your treat!!!"
"Never…"
"Come on."
I stuck my tongue out.
"If you don't treat me lunch, I'll announce your name via PA, telling that your dog was looking for you," I laughed.
"Like it'll happen."
"It will, Annabeth Chase."
"Hey. Stop."
"I can't hear you."
"Shut up!"
"Right."
"Okay. I'll treat you…"
"Oh yeah."
"You happy?"
"Absolutely."
We went to Lady Marizze's and we ordered our food. I noticed that he ordered a risotto and Kremna rezina. He still is craving for Italian food is what I thought. Then, we chatted. We chatted for more than an hour, and I was glad he never brought up the one that happened that time. If he did, I might have burst out crying, and I don't want that happening. We chatted while we ate and stuff.
After eating, told him that I had to go because there's something I needed to do, then we went home.
"Uh, nice seeing you again, Percy," I said.
"Nice seeing you, too."
"Oh right. Keep in touch. ! Add me"
"Right. Add me, too… , k?
"Got it, see you soon…"
"Right."
I couldn't believe I saw him again. I really missed him. If only he knew what had really happened there. If only he knew that I loved him so much.
When I got inside my car, tears started falling from my eyes. Why did I have to see him again? I thought of how he looked like back at the rooftop. I was filled with pain and regret.
How would Percy and Annabeth deal with their feeling for each other? Will they still be together? Will Annabeth ever get over with the incident back then? What's gonna happen next?
