Vol. 3-2: I am so not jealous!

ANNABETH

⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆

I mean... I wasn't jealous, per se.

As soon as school had let out, I had gone home all excited. Tempest had already packed my bag for me and wrapped up all her stuff in the guest room. Dad gave us some money and we said goodbye to everyone before making our way to Tempest's shitty car and starting our road trip across the U.S.

It was fun. We just talked and listened to music, slept in weird places. Sometimes we just stopped and got out to look at some pretty scenery or took pictures. My favorite photo was Tempest and I in front of the beautiful red mountains in Utah. She was hugging me and was smiling wider than I'd ever seen, looking genuinely happy.

Then we got to camp and I got kind of pissed off. She basically dumped me, ate some food, then rushed off to her date with Percy. I mean, let's be real. It's a date. A boy and a girl going out to the movies together after planning it for weeks? That's totally a date. It made me really sick. Lacy made a joke about "enemies to lovers" and I wanted to knock her lights out.

"You okay, Annabeth?" Malcolm asked

"I'm fine," I replied as I sawed through my steak, pretending it was Percy's leg.

Malcolm chewed slowly. "You don't look fine, sis..."

I stabbed the steak and imagined Percy's scream. "I'm fine."

Archery practice was a nightmare. Someone teased me about Tempest and I tried to shoot them. Then I tried javelin throwing and "accidentally" almost hit Mark in the chest. After that, Chiron suggested I just go hang out in my cabin and try to calm down. But then I saw a bunch of the pictures Tempest and I had taken together over the past five months and felt even more pissed off.

Later in the day, someone suddenly came into my cabin.

"Hey, you can't be in here!" Malcolm yelled. That's how I knew it was Tempest, since she's the only person Cabin 6 tries to ban from entering.

"Eat my dick, Malcolm," Tempest groaned. "Where's Annabeth?"

"She's right here," I said, trying to sound normal. I hopped down from my bunk and ran to greet her, forcing myself to give her a hug. Tempest stumbled a second, as she always does, but she returned the gesture. I pulled away and suddenly felt embarrassed of the fact that my hair was messy and I'd been sweating a lot all day.

I crossed my arms. "So, how was it?"

"We didn't go."

I felt very excited. "Oh?"

"Percy blew up his school."

Good feeling gone. "He what?"

Tempest quickly explained about the demon empousai at Percy's school, and how he had to kill them.

"That's not good..." I frowned, looking away. Empousai are no joke.

"Oh, it gets worse. He told this cute mortal girl about gods and half-bloods, since she can see through the Mist," Tempest grumbled, shaking her head.
