Calm before a storm
Percy p.o.v
I was so happy that day. I did sword fighting with cabin six most of the morning. Every time I looked at Annabeth my heart did a little dance.
I had canoeing at the lake. Annabeth and her cabin were picking strawberries. My paddle glided smoothly through the water. It was like Annabeths singing voice, smooth and calming. I was blushing in spite of myself. When I looked at the fields I saw Annabeth tackle one of her cabin mates.
I was laughing to myself when I saw one of them run down at the lake with Annabeth on his heels looking murderous . They were screaming and only later I remembered what they howled, "OHHHHH MY LOOOVE PERC-" then Annabeth pushed him off the dock and they sailed into me and my canoe. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath under water. I grabbed the camper and lifted them up to the surface. I looked at Annabeth and she was very red.
I smiled at her face and reached up. I pulled her into the water with me. I was gazing at here under water, at how her hair curled around her ears. She and I came up out of the water. She hit me on the side of the head. "You you SEAWEED BRAIN". I was to happy to respond I just kept laughing. It was infectious because after a moment Annabeth joined in and so did the drenched camper , who was pulling them self out of the water.
My heart was pounding after that. I went and got myself dry, I had some free time after that and didn't know what to do. Annabeth and her cabin mates were doing archery so I was alone. I really wanted to be around Annabeth, I couldn't shake the feeling I got when I was around her. I felt like a silly little school girl and I needed to know why.
I snuck to the Aphrodite cabin and ran in. "Nice and empty" I spoke to the darkness, I walked up to the Dias in the back corner. It was a small shrine of Aphrodite, I didn't have any offering on me so I just knelt and asked a silent prayer. "Aphrodite, love goddess, I have a question I ask of you". I jumped back as Rossy light shone around the room, a small apparition stepped of the Dias. It was a beautiful woman, who's face was changing to match my ideal of beauty. She kinda looks like Annabeth I though to myself.
"Dear hero what is it you ask", her song like voice filled my ears. " Dear goddess, how do i stop these annoying feelings" I said. "Awe Sweetie these feeling don't go away , you have what we call a crush, and it's so CUTE" squeaked The love goddess, who was having a fan girl. "Oh well how does that go away" I was panicking. "Hahaha " she giggled "how silly you are" then she pooped in a cloud of pink smoke.
That wasn't help in the slightest i though as I stomped back to my cabin . I threw myself down on a pillow and was feeling really down. A sound in the corner shocked me. I leaped off my bed and held my deadly pen. I scanned the room and searched for the noise. Nothing was wrong but then something in the corner caught my eye. I looked at it closely to make sure it wasn't a trap. "A ukulele" I questioned. I picked it up and strummed a cord with my fingers. It was tuned and sound like how I imagine the sea on a sunny day.
I sat on my bed and played in a daze of happiness.
