Guys I've changed the summary a bit. Just have a look at it.
Percy's pov:
2 years. It has been 2 years since that day but it seems as if it's been decades. Everyone knows about my trips to Greece during the vacations. But they don't know about the trip two years ago- about what happened during those two months of summer vacations. I haven't told anyone about it. Not even Annabeth, who even knows the colour of my favourite boxer. Just mom and dad know about it because- well, they were there at that time. I'm not sure why haven't told anyone about it yet. I guess its something I want to keep to myself because it's too important for me to be just shared with anyone- even if that anyone is my best friend of 9 years.
Annabeth knows almost everything about me. Almost. She's my best friend. I share all my happy and best moments with her. I make her share her worst, unhappy moments with me. I always try to be there for her, whenever she needs me and she does the same for me. I know it.
I met her through Thalia at school when I was 9 and had just joined Goode High. Her striking grey eyes boring into mine, analyzing everything, as if finding the best way possible to take me down. I found her really annoying at the beginning, but over the years she has grown onto me.
She slaps my hand away as I attempt to steal her fries. I try to persuade her using my best baby seal face but she just rolls her eyes at me. Guess she's used to it now. Well bad for me, I was hungry.
As I sit here under this tree watching my family I think about the many, many things I haven't told these guys about. They think I don't notice the looks, winks and smiles I get from the girls at Goode- sometimes from guys too, believe me. But I do. I recognize their obvious attempts at flirting with me, making a move on me. I know about the bets and rumours going on in school about my relationship with wise girl. I love her, true- but only as a best friend. They may not believe it, but I know it, wise girl knows it and that is enough for me. Thalia and Jason have tried to persuade me to ask her out because they believe I have a crush on her. Piper hasn't though. I suspect she believes me.
"THALIA!" Jason exclaims, snapping me out of my thoughts. Guess he finally realized he has olives stuck in his hair. He shakes them off his hair while Thalia laughs her ass off. Piper is giggling with Annabeth and me watching them in amusement.
I get lost in my thoughts once again. I love these people, believe me- but I can't help but keep it a secret. We watch the as the sun goes down the horizon, tinting the sky in various shades of red and orange. One of the reasons I love this tree is because of the beautiful view of the sunset and the moon from here. It reminds of my time there which is why I often come here at night to just silently watch the moon, reminiscing those summers.
I drive Annabeth home singing along to the radio with her on our way. I drop her off yelling a quick goodbye and making my way towards my apartment.
The smell freshly baked cookies and muffins instantly hit me as soon as open the door to my apartment. I go towards the kitchen where mom is taking out a batch of blue goodies from the oven.
"Hey mom" I greet her, kissing her on the cheek, picking up a blue chocolate muffin at the same time. I quickly bite into it forgetting that it just came out of the oven, hence slightly burning my tongue and quickly gulping down a glass of water. Mom just shakes her head at me, ruffles my hair and continues cooking dinner.
"I talked to Poseidon today about your trip to Greece after graduation. He's really happy and looking forward to meet your friends for the first time. Fortunately he'll be staying there most of the time." Mom tells me smiling.
"That's great. Annabeth knows about it now because Thalia couldn't keep her mouth shut." I say. I'm pleased though as my dad is going to be there during the vacation. My dad, Poseidon Jackson is the billionaire owner of Poseidon Cruises- the top luxury cruise line in the world- one of the many things my friends and cousins don't know about. Even Annabeth. I mean I know they suspect I'm quite well off- that much was obvious from whatever little information I gave them about my dad- but they don't know the extent of it. I guess I never told them about it because I didn't want them to treat me any differently after knowing that I was the heir of a top billionaire company- though I suspect they wouldn't even if I told them- one of the many reasons I love them.
I can't help but get nervous about our trip to Greece. Was it a wrong decision? Because many truths and secrets may be disclosed there. Things I should have told them about. I was against the idea of going to Greece but mom and dad persuaded me that everyone would enjoy the trip and it would be a nice change.
Mom, as if reading my thoughts puts a comforting hand on my shoulder and says "don't worry about it much Percy. They may get angry at you for hiding the truth, but they'll understand. They all love you. I know you will thank me later for this trip." She winks at me, kissing my forehead and going off to sleep leaving me to my thoughts.
I can't help but think of the consequences of this trip as I lay on bed with the moonlight coming in from my window. Mom thinks I'm worried about them finding out the truth of my dad. But that's just a part of it.
They know me as the kind, funny, oblivious, seaweed brain friend. The one who plays pranks, is an expert in annoying people, oblivious to the thousands of girls falling at his feet.
They don't know about my other side. The one which reveals itself in Greece. The one who often handles my father's company, who takes the decisions for the company when Poseidon Jackson is away for work, who is already trained, ready and capable to run the billionaire business on his own- at the age of eighteen.
That again is just a part of the many things they don't know about Perseus Jackson.
I finally drift off to sleep gazing at the glowing white moonlace on my window sill- my biggest secret.
Guys give me your reviews and suggestions please. Thanks!
