Percy's POV

Tomorrow is Annabeth's birthday and it has to be perfect. I call Jason, Piper, Leo, Calypso, Frank, Hazel, and Tyson into my cabin while Annabeth is training.

"Alright guys, so we all know tomorrow is Annabeth's birthday, and I have a plan to make it perfect." I quickly told them my plan and they were instantly on board with it.

"Awh! That is so romantic!" Piper says then shoots a meaningful glance at Jason. "Of course we'll help you out! Just tell us what you want us to do."

"Okay so here's the plan..." Percy quickly explains everyone's part in his amazing plan.

Annabeth's POV

I wake up, smile at the new day, run my fingers through my perfect hair and gracefully turn off my alarm clock. Just kidding, I wake up, groan, get my fingers stuck in the rats nest that I call hair, and attempt to whack the alarm clock but end up on the floor with the alarm still beeping obnoxiously. Great, just great. What better way to begin my birthday?

I groggily sit up and push myself off the floor. I look around and make sure nobody saw that.  Thank the gods everyone else already went to breakfast. I brush myself off and get dressed then head to the dinning pavilion.

Percy's POV

"She's coming guys act natural!" I whisper-yell.  Everyone nods then laughs at something I said.

"Morning everyone," Annabeth says in a cheery voice.  I stand and engulf her in a big hug, as I do every morning.

"Good morning Annabeth," I say with a grin and peck her quickly on the lips. Breakfast continues smoothly, just how I want it. There is no mention of Annabeth's birthday and all is well.

Annabeth's POV

Breakfast is nice as usual but there is absolutely no mention of my birthday. I mean, I'm not trying to make it all about me, but I'd like a 'happy birthday' here and there. I soon get over it and continue on with my day.

After training, I head back to my room to change for dinner. I see a note lying on my bed. I pick it up and it reads,
My dearest Annabeth, dress nice and warm. I will pick you up on Halfblood Hill at 8 o'clock. I love you.

Percy, I immediately think. I nearly squeal with joy and excitement. Yes I know, Annabeth does not squeal but love does things to you.

I quickly get dressed into my usual dinner attire and plan to come back to the cabin before 8. I leave and head up to the dining pavilion. As I sit down and look for Percy, he is not there.

Where is he? He never misses a meal, I think to myself.

Hey readers! I am sooooo sorry this has taken me for-freaking-ever to write. School has been whipping my butt lately. Even as I speak, or type, I'm supposed to be writing a speech. Thank you to the few people who still read my story, even though it's not the best. I love you all!
Annabelle out ✌🏻👌🏻
