Annabeth's POV:
I woke up in the arms of the man in my dreams – literally. I couldn't help but notice every small detail about his face. The way his lips were parted, drool trailing out of his mouth. The way he looks as if there wasn't a worry in the world. He looked so peaceful. I also couldn't help but notice that his arm was still tightly wrapped around my waist.
I bit my lip to keep my smile from growing. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the feeling. He's your best friend, reminded the logical part of me.
I slid out of Percy's grip and crawled out of his bed. I ran downstairs toward the kitchen. Quickly, I made blue pancakes – Percy's favorite. I looked at the clock, 5:30, there's still time to get to school.
I ran back upstairs to Percy's room when I finished making breakfast and started jumping on his bed. He barely even stirred.
I groaned, then went to the bathroom and grabbed a bucket. I filled the bucket with freezing cold water and ran back to his room.
"This better work." I mumble as I lift the bucket.
I pour the bucket all over his face and he shoots up.
"What the hell!" He exclaims loudly.
"Finally, you're awake! We need to get to school!"
He groans into his pillow before mumbling, "I thought we were gonna ditch today!"
"What about the timetable?" I ask with my hand on him hip.
"Get it tomorrow…" he mumbles sleepily.
"Percyyy!" I whine – only he's ever seen me like this. This guy's been with me through every phase of my life; depressed, whining, giddy, frustrated, and much more…
He groans, "No."
"Ugh, fine. I made pancakes for you, but now I'm probably going to just eat them on my way out. Bye!" I say, about to leave.
Suddenly, a pair of strong arms grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards the bed.
"Where are you going and how?" He asks, his voice being muffled with the pillow.
"I'm going home, grabbing a few things, and then going to school." I replied, hiding a smile because I knew he wouldn't let me go alone.
Slowly, I felt Percy shift into a sitting position and let go of my waist. He silently got out of bed, put on some clothes.
I started grinning as he glared, "Fuck you"
"You love me." I tease, though I secretly wished it were true, as in, more than friends.
His glare softened, "I do."
I blushed, even though I knew he meant as friends, I couldn't help it. He noticed immediately.
"Aww, you look cute when you're flustered." He teases, getting on the bed and poking me.
"Shut up," I mumbled as he poked me in the ribs,
"Stop that." I said, laughing. He ignored me and started tickling me.
Soon enough, I was dying of laughter as Percy was tickling me. I was gasping for air telling him to stop.
"Alright, fine." He finally says. He kissed my cheek, and then went downstairs – probably for his pancakes.
I go into the bathroom – I kept extra toiletries here because of how often I come over – and brushed my teeth and stuff.
I went downstairs and saw Percy downing the last of his OJ.
"Thanks for the pancakes." He grins.
I smile, "Well, wouldn't want you to starve, now, would we?"
He rolled his eyes playfully; I could see his eyes light up with mischief.
"Well, since you already got me wet, I'm going to take a shower. Would you like to join me?" He smirks. (AN: That's what she said! Lmao, couldn't resist.)
"No, shut up" I mumble through my blush while turning away.
"No way." He says. He comes up to me and tilts my chin up so I was looking directly in his beautiful sea green eyes.
He seemed to be dazed but he snapped out of it and shook his head slightly. He let go of my chin and kissed my forehead. Oh, how I crave the feeling on your lips on mine again, I thought. Yes, again. Percy was my first kiss, it happened when we were 12 playing Truth or Dare at our friend, Silena Beauregard's birthday party. It felt like heaven on earth for an entire minute! The next five minutes consisted of Silena and her twin sister, Piper, squealing over how cute of a couple we'd be – "Percabeth" – me blushing wine red, Percy smirking, a bunch of people cooing and saying how we'll totally end up together.
I wish, I wistfully thought. Neither of us dated nor kissed anyone after that incident – at least I didn't, I don't know about him. Actually, I do. He has a reputation of being the one everyone wants but can't get.
"Let's go." says Percy, breaking me out of my daydream.
I nod mutely and follow him towards Blackjack.

I just got my timetable; Percy and I have a pretty similar schedule. I have:
AP English- Mr. Blofis aka Percy's step-dad whom is going to be absent for the first week of school
AP History- Mr. Brunner aka Chiron; our old mentor from summer camp. He uses a wheelchair but he's like a second father figure to anyone and everyone that's ever visited the camp. He taught us about our heritage – Greek. We're learning about ancient Greece and Rome. Percy and I along with Thalia and Nico are all experts and we speak fluent Greek
Study Hall
Lunch
Architecture- Ms. Minerva Percy has marine biology with Mr. Neptune
AP Math- Artemis Percy has regular math with Ms. Dodds
PE- Coach Hedge He is also from camp
Music- Apollo Goode is a weird school
"Hey there, sexy." I heard a nasally purr. I looked up and saw a slutty Drew flaunting her ass and halfway flashing everyone in the hallway with her 4 sizes too small shirt, her face looking as if a box of Crayola threw up on her.
Percy wrinkled his nose, "No."
"Bu-"
"No." Percy interrupted causing the corner of my lips to twitch up.
Drew put her hand on Percy's mouth and pulled her shirt a bit lower, "If you want it, take it." She says flirtatiously.
"I never knew a girl could be a dick," Starts Percy, "But you are what you eat." He finishes with a smirk.
Everyone in the hallway that stopped to watch were stifling laughs as Drew's eyes widened and she was gaping. My hand covered my mouth as I tried to muffle my laugh with coughs.
"You're not popular, Drew. Your vagina is. Go home, this is school, not the strip club." Percy said, rolling his eyes. He's so hot, I think as my stomach gets a funny feeling.
Drew huffs and walked towards the door.
"That was good, man. Oh my gods, her face!" Gasped out Nico, he was dying of laughter. "She'll probably be back by lunch, though."
"When will she learn to close those doors she calls legs? And get a life while she's at it, that slut." said Thalia, joining Nico, Percy, and I.
"I feel bad for the poor sucker that has to live with her for the rest of her life." I mumble, rolling my eyes.
The bell chose that time to ring.

School was… interesting. During lunch, Rachel came up to Percy and tried to kiss him. She failed epically and ended up on the floor, soaking wet, looking like a clown that ran through the rain. Even if she's my step-sister, she's a total whore. She doesn't have a job, where does she get her money? Oh yeah, the days she doesn't come home at night. Or the nights she does come but not alone. I'm so glad I sleep in the attic, I thought, gratefully.
Right now, I'm lying on my bed reading The Giver (AN: I'd write some book like Pride and Prejudice but I have no idea what happened in the book so I'd rather not take my chances. Also, I just read The Giver for school a while ago so… No spoilers though!). I wonder if this will actually happen in the future, I thought.
Suddenly, I heard a tapping noise come from my window. I got up and opened the curtains to see Percy knocking on the window. This is totally normal; he comes from my window so Rachel can't get to him.
I let him in. "What's up?" I ask once he gets settled onto my bed.
He smirks, "It's so lonely without you."
I roll my eyes, "Haha, why'd you really come?"
He shrugs nonchalantly, "I wasn't kidding, you were my only company yesterday and this morning. Mom and Paul are out, remember?"
I nod, knowing the feeling. Dad stopped paying attention to me once he got remarried and ultimately forgot about me once the twins were born. Helen's just a bitch that deserves to die in hell. They're never home, most of the time with either Rachel or the twins. I'm usually alone at home, trying to study over the sounds of moans and orgasms, or at Percy's house – sometimes Thalia's.
I crawled in beside Percy, "G'night Seaweed Brain."
"'Night Wise Girl." He mumbles, already half asleep.
I looked at the window and noticed Percy's schoolbag. I looked at Percy's angelic face, and then took my book out again.
"Mmm, I love you Anbth" Percy quickly and quietly mumbled in his sleep, I almost missed it.
I wonder who he's dreaming about, I though with a sad smile. Probably not me.
I fell asleep to the sound of Percy's heartbeat. I had that familiar dream but this time, I thought, is this love? Or, is it just some stupid fetish or infatuation? Ugh, I'm not going to tell him anything in case it's the latter.
Sorry for the OOCness of Rachel, but I sort of need it for the plot, so if you'd just go with it…?
Just so you know, Cas isn't working on this story with me. But we are working on a story on her account; it's called Masked Love, check it out! I'm working on it with her. She's also going to post a Thanksgiving story, she's post it on the 25th and the 26th – it's a two-shot.
If you haven't already, check out my other story, Music and Misery, which I'm working on with Cas.
Castie-with-a-Shotgun, in case you didn't know who "Cas" was.
If you have any suggestions, PM me.
Review, spread the word, do whatever, flames will be laughed at.
