Annabeth's POV

I'm laughing with the others in the water when I notice that one of us is missing. I turn around to see Piper still on the beach, smiling at us. I tell the others that she didn't join us and Katie yells at her.
"Come on! Have some fun!"
She looks over and says back "Coming!"

She takes her skirt and shirt off and wow, she looks hot in that bikini. The bottom part is mostly white but the edges are light pink and it has a cute little bow on it. The top part is the same, white in the middle and light pink on the edges but no bow.

I catch myself blushing for the first time in a long time and look away just as Piper looks back at me. She has her arms around her stomach, I wonder why. Although I think I have my suspicions.

She enters the water and soon, I forget myself in the moment.

Piper's POV

Katie calls me over to join them in the water. I feel irritated. Why did they have to notice that I wasn't with them? I sigh, plaster on a very convincing smile and reply that I'm coming.

I really don't want to do this, but I get undressed anyway, my back facing them. They don't need to know about the scars on my stomach. At least that bruise on my cheek from yesterday had faded, so you could barely see it anymore. I turn around with my arms covering my belly, cursing myself for not thinking of secretly buying a one piece when my mom wasn't looking.

I sigh through my nose and join them in the ocean. At least the water will cover my scars.

. . .

I admit I had fun. I was a bit skeptical at first. Even though I was exited to come, I didn't want my new friends—if I can call them that—to be embarrassed by my presence.

We get out of the water and get changed. Katie is the first to ask, "Hey, why didn't you want to come in the water? I thought you loved the beach!"

I frown. I don't like where this is going. "I do," is all I answer. Because I really do love the beach.

Then Lou backs Katie up. "Yeah, and why did you look so nervous? Do you not like the water?"

I start to get really annoyed. It's not there place to ask me all these questions!
"Of course I do! Why wouldn't I? Stop asking me all of these questions!" I say, raising my voice.

"Hey, we were just curious." Lou says.

"Yeah, well, too much apparently! It's not your problem, what I feel and how I act!" I'm yelling now.

"Piper!" Katie cries out. "We're your friends! Of course it's our problem!"

I don't bother answering. I take my bag and slip out of the hidden spot. I start running along the beach, fighting back tears and with no idea where I'm going.

They have no right to ask me these questions! It's my private life!

. . .

After a few minutes, I slow my running to a quick pace. I'm far from all the families now and near me are the cliffs. I stop and face the ocean. I stand there for a couple more minutes when I hear a voice behind me."Hey!" I start walking again.
