Chapter 8
Annabeth's POV
I walked across the park towards Starbucks. We were all meeting up there to talk. I walked inside and went to our usual table, upstairs next to the window. "Hey." I said to Frank, Leo and Percy. Brett and Scott were busy so they couldnt come. I sat down and took a hot chocolate. "You know why they called us here?"
The guys shrugged. Hazel appeared looking a bit jitterish. "There was an old guy eating jelly beans." We burst out laughing. "Thank you for that Hazel!" I wiped my eyes and moved up for her to sit.
Jason and Piper came but he had his arm around Piper. "Um, is there something we should know?" I looked between them. Piper smiled and so did he. "We're dating!" They said excitedly. I remembered her dad telling me to make sure she doesn't get up to mischief so I said, "Hello, son What makes you think you can date my daughter?" I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to make my voice sound deep.
They just laughed. "My dad said to make sure I don't get up to mischief. Not play his role!" She said, giggling. I shrugged. "Welcome to the family!" I shook his hand and sat down.
We had all had a nice time at Starbucks. We were walking down to the park, where we seemed to be going often lately, and were having a conversation about Hazel's viewing of an old guy eating jelly beans.
"But old people don't eat jelly beans!"
"That's mean, Hazel!" I said between laughs.
"He offered me one!"
We all burst out laughing. Percy's hand was brushing mine and it was nice. I was enjoying myself, the first time in a while.
Then an all too familiar voice said, "Annabeth, how have you been?"
Who is the mystery person? Tell me who you think it is!
