Me: Hey guys! Sorry about the cliffhanger, they are just so fun to write! I hope that you like this chapter!
Annabeth's Point of View
Ugh, why were they taking so long? I glance over at them, and I see them talking with grim expressions. Hmm... What could they be doing?
Then I see my future boyfriend smirk, and then Percy's face turns white. Oh no, what did he do to him?
I run over, and Ryan flashed Percy a warning look. Wait, what?
"What's wrong? Come on Perseus, tell me!" I question urgently. Percy winced, not expecting to be addressed by his name. I didn't care anymore. I hate not knowing something in a situation like this.
Again, Ryan flashed Percy a warning look. WHAT WAS GOING ON?!
"Well?" I pushed, widening my grey eyes. "U-uh, nothing. We were umm, just talking. You know, bro to bro." He replied nervously.
I raised an eyebrow. Obviously, I wasn't buying any of this.
"A-HEM! Somebody has to explain what's going around here." When I said "here", I motioned to the two of them. " I'm not oblivious to the fact that you guys are NOT exactly best buddies."
As they exchange looks, I sigh. What could be going on? They barely even know each other. Why are they acting so suspicious , and as if they know something I don't?
Percy opened his mouth, and began to speak with wide eyes. "Anna-Angela, he's-" Ryan cut him off "NO, Angel, nothing is wrong, your friend and I were just having a little chat. Everything is alright now," he cooed.
She stiffened, glancing at me, and sighed. "Okay, let's go." She said quickly. They both walked away, Ryan's arm around her waist "protectively". I snorted. That assh- Hey, guess what? I'M STILL HERE. So just because I didn't make an appearance in my story for a while, its not like I don't know what you are saying. *sighs* Ugh, fine. Pushy.
Anyway, did I mention that I really hate that Ryan guy? Yes, you did. Now stop rambling and get on with your life. Meanie. I stuck my tongue out.
I walked to the area where Thalia's motorcycle was resting, and found that she was already waiting for me with a worried look. "Are you okay? I saw you sticking your tongue out at yourself, and..." She started grinning, as if she predicted that I become mentally ill, but I cut her off. "Shut up so that we can go back to the hotel that I'm staying at and we can talk there. I would presume that Nico is already there, unpacking?" She nodded curtly.
We got on the motorcycle, and she generously let me drive, which I appreciated, because how often do you see a guy holding on to a girl's waist while she was driving the motorcycle? (Not to mention, her spiky hair poking my face...)
I got on, and put on my helmet. I revved up the engine, and took off at an alarming speed. I wanted to just forget.. Forget what happened, and act as if nothing was wrong. But, life is life, and life isn't easy. And you gotta deal with it until life gives you a present. Not like that's gonna happen any time soon.
