Chapter Twenty One

Percy walked back to his cabin. Piper was there. Again.

"Hey Percy."

"Hiya, Pipes."

"Your glowing again."

"Yeah, probably."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I think so."

"Who?"

"You're not mad at me?"

"No. I got the whole story. I'm sorry."

"I need to talk to her."

"Yeah, you probably should."

"Ok. I'll... I'll go do that."

"Bye."

"And get out of my cabin!" Percy yelled over his shoulder as he left. He walked towards the Athena cabin, and knocked. Deja vu. The same camper opened the door, but this time, Annabeth was on her bed.

"Annabeth."

"What, Percy?"

"You should go out with him."

"Who?"

"Jake. You guys would be good together."

"I don't actually want to."

"You were bored with me?"

"I'm sorry."

"I get it. I was... well. Doesn't matter. I'm sorry."

"Well-"

"Do what you need to do."

"About?"

"Anything. Get out of this cabin! Go talk to some people! DO something!"

"Ok, Percy." He grabbed her hand and pulled her off the bed. "Up and out, ok?"

"Fiiiine." Annabeth walked out the door, and over to the climbing wall. Percy walked to his cabin. Piper was still there. "Really Piper?" Percy sighed, flopping down on his bed.

"You're much calmer now. Did you work things out with Annie?"

"Yeah. Have you?"

"Yeah, I talked to her."

"And are you guys friends?""Yeah, I think so."

"Ok. I got her to go outside."

"Good for you!"

"Yeah.""Now, Percy, you are going to tell me exactly who it is you are sooo in love with."

"I uh..."

There was a knock. "Come in!" Percy shouted, grumbling something under his breath about 'personal space' and 'used to be a respected cabin' as Jason entered.

"Is Piper- There you are!"

"What?"

"Just saying hi."

"Hi, cutie."

Jason turned red. He sat down on the bed next to Percy.

"What're you guys doing?"

"Pipers trying to get me to tell her who I'm 'In Love With'."

"Ooh! Gossip!" Jason said in a falsetto. Percy gave him a look.

"So? Who is it? Is it me?" Jason batted his eyelashes flirtatiously. Piper hit him on the arm.

"Jason, you're not helping."

"Sorry."

"Can you leave?"

"Why?"

"Because I don't think Percy's gonna tell me if you're here."

"Fine." Jason kissed Piper on the cheek. "Love you."

"Love you too."

"So, Percy?" She asked once Jason had left.

"I think it might be a guy."

"Who though?"

"N-"

"PERCY!" Nico ran in to the cabin, panting.

"Yeah?" He looked at Nico's disheveled state. "Nico, whats wrong?"

"Come quickly! Its Will... please, hurry!"
