Ever since Percy got his memory back, he'd been spending a lot of time with me. I'd stopped sleeping in the Athena cabin and began to sleep in Percy's every night. One morning, I had a really unwanted guest.
Knocks on the door woke me up that night. "Percy? Someone's knocking." I shook Percy, frightened. "It's okay. I'm right here. Go open it." Percy kissed me lightly. I nodded and stumbled up to the door. I opened it slowly...and my jaw dropped. A stubby red-headed girl grinned. She was wearing a wet t- shirt and ripped jeans. Her face was specked with freckles. "What do you want? Why are you here?" I asked. Rachel crossed her arms. "Well, it'd be nice to get some shelter." Rachel glared. I noticed it was pouring out. "No. I know you want trouble." I said. Rachel pushed past me into the cabin. "Get out!" I yelled, trying not to be loud. Percy head snapped up, and mixed emotions flashed in his eyes. "Rachel? What...why did you let her in?" Percy stared at me. I shrugged. Rachel sighed. "Hello? I'm right here?" I shut the door, leaving the cold outside. "Rachel, what do you need?" Percy sat up in his bed. Rachel stepped up to him. She leaned in, trying to kidd him. "Rachel!" I shouted, pulling her away. "Why are you really here?!" I yelled. Rachel pushed Percy back. "Don't play dumb, Annabeth! Percy was my boyfriend way before you!" I rolled her eyes. "Rachel? I need you to leave now." Percy said firmly. "Fine, but I'll be back. And you, Annabeth, won't ever kiss him again." Rachel stormed out of the cabin. "What...happened?" I scratched my head. Percy shrugged. "Just come back to bed." He lifted the covers on the bed. I locked the door, and slid in next to him. He pulled me close, and I soon fell back asleep.
