Percy's New Life

Drama with the Past

Tuesday 3:30 PM
Percy POV
Me and Paige were at my house studying for our History test tomorrow "you sure you don't want anything to drink?" I asked "yeah I'm sure" Paige said. We continued studying for about twenty more minutes until I turned on the TV and we started watching Jeepers Creepers 2. We were about half way through the movie when I heard a knock at the door "that's probably my mom, I forgot you guys haven't met" I said while walking toward the door, I opened the door and my mouth went slack with shock "what the Hades is she doing here?" I thought "Percy, it's been a while" Annabeth said quietly, she was wearing a white tank top, a brown cotton coat, skinny jeans, and heels "what, uh, what are you doing here?" I asked "the architecture class at the University asked for my help and it's gonna be for the whole year so I moved into an apartment for the time being" she said while looking me over and blushing "that still doesn't explain how you know where I live" I said "well I stopped by Sally's and she told me where to find you" she answered "hey, who's here?" Paige asked while walking up to me "Uhm, Paige this is my ex, Annabeth, Annabeth this is Paige, my girlfriend" I said, I saw Paige smile when I said girlfriend "oh, girlfriend, ok" Annabeth said awkwardly "so why are you here?" I asked "I just wanted to apologize for what happened between us, I know I was pretty mean" she said "oh, uh, ok, no hard feelings" I said, we just stood there awkwardly until Annabeth cleared her throat "so alot of our old friends are still at camp, they'd love to see you" she said "I'll call Chiron and talk about it" I said "ok well I should get going, bye" she said "bye" I said before closing the door, I walked over to my couch, slumped down, closed my eyes and exhaled deeply. I felt Paige sit down next to me but I kept my eyes closed "you didn't tell me about an ex" she said "yeah, I was avoided the subject" I said "tell me about her" she said "Paige I don't think tha-" "tell me" she interrupted "well, she was my first girlfriend, my first kiss, my first love, I thought we were gonna stay together, but one day she told me she met someone else and dumped me, that's it" I said, not wanting to go into detail "oh ok, well I'm gonna go to the restroom then we're going to that camp" she said, before I could respond she walked into the restroom and closed the door "well her minds made up, going back to camp"
