Waves and a lifeguard

Waves and a lifeguard

Annabeth felt proud when she didn't fall off of her surfplank right away. She had never surfed before and she hadn't intended on doing it today. But Annabeth's friend Piper had taken her to the beach and dared her to surf. And Annabeth being Annabeth was too proud to refuse even if she didn't know how in the slightest bit.

But she was figuring it out. It's just standing and trying not to fall Annabeth told herself. She looked to her right and saw Piper next to her. Piper, her best friend since middle school, was surfing perfectly next to her. Annabeth on the other hand, was struggling to keep up right.

She heard Piper call if she was okay. And Annabeth, being too proud once again just smiled and called a "Yes". Until she wasn't and the waves engulfed her.

All she could hear were people screaming, but very vague like she was underwater. When Annabeth opened her eyes and realized that she was indeed underwater, she panicked and tried to get upwards, but she couldn't. The rip current was working against her and pulling her down even more. Then she did something even stupider, she tried to scream for help. The only problem being, a small problem that made everything unnecessarily difficult, she was underwater.

Water filled her lungs and the only thing she could remember before the world becoming black, were two strong arms that wrapped around her.

Annabeth's eyes shot open when she felt someone's mouth on her and after that hands pressing on her chest multiple times.

She shot up and pushed the person that was bent off of her. She spit some water out and coughed.

"Annabeth!" Piper shouted and rushed to Annabeth. She had visible tear tracks on her face and she hugged Annabeth tightly. "Oh god, I thought you were going to die! I'm so sorry!" Piper sobbed out.

"Can't breathe." Annabeth choked out and Piper only loosened her grip on her friend. "It wasn't your fault, Pipes." Annabeth assured her and patted her back a little bit awkwardly when she realised that a lot of people were watching.

"The show's over people!" Annabeth called and people started to leave.

She stood up and Piper followed soon after. "Annabeth, wait. You need to-"

"I just want to go home, Piper. So let's go." She told her friend, but was interrupted when she bumped into someone. When she looked up and saw his face, hers grew red, something what it didn't usually do.

The boy had wet black hair that was long, but not too long and looked messy. He has beautiful sea green eyes and a handsome face, though he was already annoying her. His head was cooked a little bit to the side and his eyebrows were shot up. Like he was the one that was confused.

"I'm sorry." She apologised and he just stared at her blankly. "But why are you still here? I said that I was fine and "the show is over and all"." She said rather harshly, which only made the boy extra confused.

"Annabeth," Piper hissed under her breath but Annabeth ignored it. "So you can go." She finished and bumped his shoulder, maybe on purpose, maybe not and walked past him.

"Uhm, I'm sorry, but I need to check you up. A courtesy. So if you can wait with leaving?" The boy called after her.

"He's the lifeguard." Piper hissed under her breath.

And when Annabeth turned around to face him and she indeed saw that he was wearing the red trunks. Annabeth turned red again and walked back to him. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Were you the one I pushed away?" Annabeth stammered out and could die right there.

"Uhm, yes. So if you want to, can you come with me? It shouldn't take long." He explained and looked just as awkward. "I'm Percy, by the way." And he stuck his hand in her direction. She luckily got the hint and shook his hand.
