I woke to pounding fists on my door, and a splitting head ache.
"WHAT NOW??????????" I yelled. Malcome (my half-brother) had awoken me three times already that night. Due to many of our comrades passing on and needing a funeral right away. "Annabeth, calm down its me Percy." Percy sounded worried. Oh no, I thought, what time is it?
"Percy?" I said "Yes, you know your boyfriend that is handsome, amazing, funny, smart, and incredibly amazing with a sword," He teased, "Its time to wake up. Everyone's starting to get worried." I turned to my clock beside my bed and looked at the screen. 10:46. "WHAT??!! Percy its 10:46! Why didn't you or Malcome wake me up sooner? You know I have my special training today!" I said as I got up and changed my clothes from a silver tank top and blue shorts to jeans, my Camp Half-Blood T-shirt, and my sneakers.
"I know", he said coolly,"but when I came in here to wake you up at 8:00 I tried shaking your shoulder and you about flipped me in your sleep. I decided it would be best not to be killed by my girlfriend while she was sleeping." I walked out of my room to find not only Percy but the WHOLE Athena cabin and Piper (my best friend), Jason (her boyfriend), Nico, Reyna, Hazel, Frank, Tyson, and Ella the harpy. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!" they yelled in chorus. "Guys, this is sweet and all but it's not my birthday. It's August 4th, not July 12th." I pointed out, "We know", said Reyna, "but you didn't get to have a birthday party, much less spend it up on Argo 2." Reyna replied. "Oh yeah, I didn't realize that I spent my birthday In Tartarus," I said, "Thank you."
I walked out of the Athena cabin, the sun blinding me. Camp Half-Blood was a wreck, but it was a busy wreck. Campers buzzing around, the Apollo campers, finding medical kits to heal the wounded. The Hephaestus campers running around to fix what they can of the monster traps, and the land scape. The Demeter cabin, stayrs, and the dryads, helping the Apollo campers, and all the nature things they could handle. I was furious. My home was almost destroyed. Half of the Athena cabin was either wounded or killed in the war with Gea. "Come on Annabeth, we can't miss breakfast." I let Percy pull me along to the pavilion. When we reached the pavilion I found a full buffet of my favorite foods including a HUGE birthday cake. It had silver frosting, with an owl, the Athena Paronthanose, and the words 'Happy Birthday Wise Girl' I turned to percy "This was your idea wasn't it?" I stated. He just smiled that mischievous smile of his and hugged me."of course it was, who else calls you Wise Girl?"
