Pipabeth 2

Chapter 5

It was later that night. I was leaning against a tree, watching the stars above.

"Hey Piper." It was Annabeth.

"Hey. I wasn't sure if you understood my look. You know, if you were even going to show up."

"But you went out here anyway?" She asked.

"Of course. If you didn't show up, I could at least watch the stars. They're very pretty." Like a certain someone I know.

Woah. Did I just think that? No..I was just imagining that.

"So uhh, you wanna take a walk?" I asked.

"Sure." We walked in silence for a while in the woods.

"Annabeth, can I ask you something?"

"Go for it."

"How do you know if you're in love with someone?"

She stopped dead in her tracks. It took me a few steps ahead before I realized she had stopped. She was smiling. "What?" I asked.

"Why do you ask, Piper? Are you in love with someone?" She gasped. "Don't tell me you fell in love with someone at camp your first few days here."

"Whaaaat? I mean..I don't know. Maybe? Drew said that I looked like I was in love with someone. And I haven't a clue who it could be." I lied. I have a clue. It's Annabeth I think. But how could I really know for sure I was in love with her?

It's probably all in my head.

"Well I guess you know when you're in love with someone when you're just really happy around them. They brighten up your day, and when they aren't around they make it super crappy. Your heart skips a beat when you see them. You get nervous around them and all sweaty. You just know."

"Wow. Thanks, that really helps out." I said. Good thing I felt none of those things around Annabeth.

Haha I mean, I'm happy around everyone. And I'm still happy when she's not around. I'm not nervous or sweaty and my heart isn't skipping beats.

"So..do you think you're still in love with someone?" Annabeth asked hopefully.

"No. No I don't think so. Drew's just playing her mind games on me.

"Alright. Well when you do fall in love with someone, you'll tell me who it is right?"

"Of course I will. You have my word."

Little did I know. I was in love with someone. And this was just the beginning.

Currently I'm laying on my bed in distress. Why? Why you ask? Because maybe I am in love, and it just hit me hard.

Everything Annabeth said about being in love happened to me today.

First it's the whole happy when they're there and in a bad mood when they aren't.

I was sitting at breakfast when Annabeth came by. "Hey Piper, you want to go fight with me in the arena?"

"Totally. Let me grab my knife." So I got up and dumped my trash. Walking with Annabeth to my cabin.

Let me explain how I got my knife. There's some shed where all these swords and bows and knives are. You get to pick one to keep.
