Percy Jackson and Annabeth 9


            It was night time when Annabeth finally let go of me. I was still blushing dark red, and Thalia was still standing there with a grin waiting for something to happen. She smiled at me for the first time I've been here, then her tears dried up.
"Annabeth, listen I think we need to talk." I said in a reassuring tone.
Her smile became bright enough for me to see even though it was dark.
"Thalia can you give us a sec." I said in a pleading matter.
She shrugged her shoulders than walked off leaving me alone with the person I've been avoiding this whole time.
"Let's go inside and talk." I said leading her way inside.
She walked over to my bunk and sat down with a look of relief.
I sat down next to her trying hard not to show my fear, I gave her a confident smile.
"Annabeth-" I was interrupted yet again.
"Percy." Annabeth said giving me an even tighter hug. "Why did you ignore me the whole time I was here?"
A rush of guilt went up and down my spine.
"Why did you ignore me all last summer?" I asked trying to avoid the question.
She looked at me with teary eyes, then hugged me again.
"Because I was thinking...about the lap top I got." She lied.
I knew she was lieing but I let it go, and hugged her back.
"Okay, what ever you say." I said hugging her tighter.
I let go showing her my now darker blush.
"Friends." I said putting my hand out for her to take and shake.
"Uhh yeah...sure friends." She said her smile fickering back and forth.
I knew something was wrong but I didn't want to ruin the moment, I gave her a quick hug, then sat back on my bed.
"So." I said casually. "Juniper told me you came back months ago, can you tell me what happened?"
