Annabeth's POV
My ADHD was kicking into overdrive as I waited for school to get out. I was ready for the weekend because I'm hanging out with my best friends, Thalia and Percy.
"Miss Chase can you answer the question?" my teacher interrupted my thoughts.
I tried to read the question off the board, but my stupid dyslexia was trying to read it in Ancient Greek. "Can you please repeat the question?"
"I asked can you name all 12 major Greek gods and goddess?" my teachers repeated.
"Easy!" I exclaimed. My classmates looked at me with questioning glares. Okay I know what you're thinking, how can she remember all 12 of the major gods and goddess. Easy my mom is one of them. "Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are the big three. Then there is Hera, Athena, Apollo, Ares, Aphrodite, Artemis, Demeter, Hephaestus, and Hermes."
"I see you've been paying attention," my teacher said looking away. "Now before you leave, your homework is to write me a page essay on one of the major Greek Gods and Goddess to be turned in Monday."
The bell rang and I packed my stuff, making sure I had everything I needed. A girl of about 5'2 walked up to me. I glanced up to recognize it to be Calista. "Hey," she said. "Are you almost ready to go?"
"Yeah, hold on let me grab my mythology book," I replied.
"I don't see why you take mythology anyways," Calista answered. "You seem to know everything the teacher is taking about."
"It's an easy class to end my day with," I reasoned. Calista just didn't know how right she was about me knowing everything the teacher was teaching. That's when I smelled it, a monster. Damn. I was doing so well about not getting attacked at school. I grabbed Calista's arm and dragged her towards the parking lot. I saw Percy and Thalia waiting for me, worried look on their faces.
"He's hot," Calista said, looking Percy up and down. I just laughed and continued to drag her towards them.
Once I reached them, I studied them over. "I'm guessing you smell that too?"
"Yes, we were worried that-?" Thalia trailed off, just noticing my friend. She held her hand out to Calista, "I'm Thalia."
"Calista," Calista answered, taking Thalia's hand.
"Percy," Percy shook hands with Calista as well.
"Oh I've heard so much about you guys," Calista said, mater-of-factly. I shot her a death glare, but she continued on talking because she saw Percy's eyebrow rise. "She sleep talks about you and Thalia during mythology."
It was Percy and Thalia's turn to glare at me. I mouthed, "I'm sorry, not my fault."
"Well Calista, we have to go. I'll see you Monday morning," I said, hugging Calista goodbye. I climbed in Percy's car.
"Sleep talking?" Thalia demanded.
"I can't help that I wanted an easy class to end my day with," I tried to defend myself, but it wasn't working. "So what are we doing this afternoon?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"I was thinking food," Percy said honestly.
I laughed, "Sure, where do we want to go?"
"TACO BELL," Thalia yelled.
"Geez, Thal's, no need to yell," I said, laughing with Percy. "Taco bell it is."
"I can't help I haven't had Taco Bell since I joined the hunters," Thalia answered.
"Why aren't you with them?" I asked.
"We got free time, so I thought I would come catch up with my two best friends," Thalia shrugged. "But I can't stay long because I have to back before dusk."
We nodded our agreement and entered Taco Bell. We ordered, and then Thalia and I went to the bathroom.
"You have to tell him," Thalia said as we sat on the counters.
"Tell who what?" I asked, asking stupid, which was very hard with being Athena's daughter and all, trust me.
"You know who and what," Thalia gave me this oh-you-need-to-drop-the-act look.
"Okay, all I know is telling Percy, but what am I suppose to tell him," I asked, dropping the act because I know Thalia would attack me.
"You like him, duh," Thalia answered, rolling her eyes.
I felt my cheeks go bright red, "I don't….I don't like him." Way to go Annabeth, now she's never going to believe that lie, I thought to myself. I smiled as I thought about Percy; his black messy hair, his smile, and oh gods his sea green eyes. I could get lost in his eyes, reminding me of my favorite memories of us.
"You're wearing that 'I'm thinking about Percy' look," Thalia brought me out of my trance.
"No I'm not," I tried, but when Thalia's eyebrow rose I knew she didn't believe me. "Fine, I was thinking about him. Happy?"
"Very," Thalia agreed. "Now you have to admit to yourself that you like him."
I glared at her. "I like Percy Jackson," I muttered as softly as possible.
"What was that?" Thalia wore a smirk on her face.
"I said I like Percy Jackson, but-" I tried, but Thalia stopped me in mid-sentence.
"No buts, now you are going to tell Percy that you like him, understand?" Thalia pointed towards the door. "Or I will," she added with a devious smirk on her lips.
"You wouldn't!" I said, trying to convince myself that she wouldn't, but I knew she would.
"You know I will," Thalia answered her, "but I won't if you tell him first."
"Thalia, I can't," I sat down on the floor. She tried to leave but realize I was almost about to cry. Crying wasn't something I did, especially not over boys.
"Why?" she asked, sitting next to me.
"Our parents hate each other. They will never allow us to be together. My mother will do anything to kill Percy and anything my mom plans will work; after all she is the goddess of wisdom. It will be a war between the gods and it will be our fault," I choked back tears. "We can't be together, so what's the point in telling him how I feel?"
"Because he feels the same way, and he is a determined kid; takes after his dad a lot I suppose. You will find a way to be together. I know you will, after all you are Athena's daughter," Thalia held her hand out to me, wanting to help me up. "But I can't stick around, it's almost dark."
I splashed water on my face before going out and joining Percy at the table. He took one look at me and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I lied. He looked at me with his eyebrow raised, but continued to eat. Once we had finished, we went back to his car. "Where are we going to go now?" I asked.
"You'll see," He replied and started driving. It was quiet for the ride, but once we reached the place, I realize he took me to the beach. I smiled. "What," he asked.
"Nothing, come on," I dragged him towards the waves. I started to walk along to water line, "Why'd you bring me here?"
"Well, it's my favorite place. The water is calming," he shrugged. "I have to tell you something," he added, suddenly.
"What?"
"I don't know how to put it," he looked at me. "So I'm just going to say it, okay?" When I nodded he said. "I like you, Annabeth. I like you a lot more than just friends. I don't want to be just friends with you anymore."
I stay quiet for a moment, noticing by the water crashing against the rocks; they showed that he was nervous. "I like you too. I didn't tell you earlier because I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I didn't think we could be together, you know, because of our parents' feud," I smiled at him. "And I didn't think you liked me."
"How can I not?" Percy asked, looking into my eyes. "You're smart, funny, excellent at sword fighting, and most of all beautiful." I felt my cheeks getting redder, so I got a sudden interest in the sand. He put his hand under my chin and said, "As for our parents' we will find a way to be together, I promise."
And that's when his face started coming closer to mine. He pressed his lips to mine in a soft, sweet kiss. His free hand wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to him, and his hand that was under my chin moved to play with my hair. I moved my hands to around his neck, getting tangled in his messy black hair. I felt water on my feet, and that's when his kiss got a little more demanding as he licked my bottom lip, asking entrance. I let him, not caring what my logic was tell me. I kiss him back with all I had; only breaking when either of us had to breathe.
Percy's POV
I felt the water fighting itself, so I broke away from the kiss and looked at the ocean. Annabeth looked at me with those stormy gray eyes that reminded me of a storm on ocean. I met her eyes then looked back out to the ocean. "What's the matter Percy?" she asked. Gods, I love her voice.
"Something's wrong with the ocean. My dad must be mad," I said. "See, out there where the waves are high and crashing with great strength? Now, look around us. The oceans calm only because I'm controlling the water around us, but out there is where my dad's controlling it."
A/n- Hope you like might update again before the end of the day, no promises. Next chapter is when Poseidon and Athena find out. Please review.
