Percy stood around his locker on the first day of school with his friends. He couldn't believe he had made it, and was going to the same school two years in a row. He just really hoped he didn't screw it up too bad. He had promised Annabeth he would try to get good grades this year on the last day of camp. He really didn't want to disappoint her. After Tartarus, not seeing her smile for so long, he would do anything to make her happy.

"Yo dude, you blanking out on us again?" Eric, Percy's best mortal friend started snapping his fingers in front of Percy's face.

"What? Yeah, sorry." Gods it had only been two days since he saw Annabeth-the longest they had gone since they reunited at Camp Jupiter- and he was already missing her far too much to be natural.

"Seriously you haven't even gone to your first class yet. What is wrong with you?" Eric paused as a short girl with fiery red curls, much like Rachel's, walked past. "Man, I have to ask her out."

"You have a girlfriend idiot." Adam, Percy's other friend, pointed out while punching Eric on the shoulder.

"Oh yeah." He paused again, like this was some great epiphany. "Hey, it's not fair girls throw themselves over Jackson, and he don't look twice. Why can't I take a few of them?"

"First of all, you are sick and twisted. Second, I have a girlfriend, who I don't plan on cheating on thank you very much." The thought of cheating on Annabeth made Percy sick. He could never do that.

Then, as if on cue, someone tapped his shoulder. Percy turned around only to have someone's lips smashed on his. At first he didn't pull away, he hated himself for it, but he was too surprised. And the fact that he simply wanted to melt into it, made him feel even worse.

The guys around him started to "oooohhh," and Percy finally came to his senses and pulled away.

"What in Hades name do you think you're doing!" Percy screamed in rage. Heads turned towards the fight, but he didn't care. He was mad at the girl. So, so mad. Though he was probably more mad at himself.

"Kissing my boyfriend. What do you think Seaweed Brain?"
