Dear Diary,

December 17th/ Eleventh day at Goode High.

Hey.. I kind of forgot about you after my date with Percy.. but I will tell you whats been happening. So first, when I got home from my date with Percy, we fell asleep in my bed. Well, he fell asleep on my chair and I fell asleep on my bed. After that, him and I have been kind of chill. We haven't kissed any since then and we've gone out on friendly get-togethers. Not any more dates.

He still teases me but.. who cares.

Me and Piper are on better terms now. She's my best friend along with Thalia, the girl who screws my brother. I'm very happy right now. Let me look back and see what I wrote-

Oh.. PTP. Um.. that's working right now. I'm not his girlfriend but he has only been hanging out with me because I'm tutoring him and I know he wants to get in my pants.

Also! Something recent! Grover, someone who Katie introduced me to, is dating Juniper! And I met Percy's mom and cousin. Sally and Frank. I also met Gabe. He's Percy's step-dad. He's a mean old douche. He told me to grab him a beer and I told him to fuck himself. *sigh*

Oh.. Frank, Hazel -Frank's crush and one of Percys friends-, and Reyna go to a school called Jax School of the Arts but they're really fierce and are a lot like Warriors. Jason is on that line of the schools and stuff. He chose to come to Goode because his sister was here and Leo and Piper.

Percy spent, like, 6 months there, that's how he knows Hazel and Reyna.

Oh, and we call that school Jupiter because they base their classes on Roman culture and their mascot is Jupiter the God.

So.. I think that's enough for this entry… again, I'm sorry for the late entry.

Choi for now.

I slip my book into my bag as I was greater by my friends. Malcolm kept blushing at Thalia as we walked to the stairs. Thalia didn't seem to care or notice.

"Hey Blue!" I heard from behind me. Luke had been trying to talk to me since the kiss.

I rubbed my arm and walked faster into the building.

"Annabeth, please... I really need to talk to you.." Luke pleaded.

Thalia shoved me and Piper inside the building and stormed off to the blonde hottie.

She was fuming. I could make out a little of what Like was saying by reading his lips.

"I think she deserves to know the truth…" What truth? What is he talking about? I saw the black hair of my favorite kisser join the conversation. What were they talking about? What were they hiding from me?

After a heated argument with the guy who I gave my first kiss to, Percy stormed towards me. Thalia snarled at Luke and I saw her slap him before Percy picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

Piper followed behind him, yelling at him to put me down. I was just frozen. What were my best friends hiding from me?

I started to tear up. Then my mother's voice rang in my ear:

Crying shows weakness darling.. you don't want people to think your weak. Annabeth Wise is the strongest girl in the world. She doesn't cry.

I'm not Annabeth Wise anymore, mother.

Percy was shaking me. When I looked up at him, I was sitting on the stairs, in his usual spot, with Piper holding my hand.

"W-what ha-happened?" I asked, stuttering weakly. I didn't even care anymore. "W-what is everyone?" No one was on the stairs. It made me feel self-conscious.

"They went to class, Wise Girl. Are you okay?" Percy held me in his arms. "You blacked out. Have you been sleeping or eating lately?"

I hadn't eaten that morning and I didn't sleep last night. I skipped dinner too. I haven't really eaten all week. Food and sleep exhaustion. So stupid of me.

"Do you have a granola bar?" I asked quietly.

Piper nodded and gave me a peanut butter and chocolate bar.

"Thanks.." I nodded and her.

"Don't mention it.." she smiled and hugged me. "That scared me so much…"

"Is she alright?" I heard someone say.

"She woke up and she's eating something.." I saw Percy stand. The voice came from Mr. Brunner, I decided as him and Jason walked up.

"That's good.." Mr. Brunner nodded, "I'll call her father to come pick her up.."

"I already called her dad… He can't pick her up so he wants me to take her home.." Percy said.

I was about to ask why before Mr. Brunner spoke. "You're not just this to get out of class, are you?"

"No sir, I'll go and get mine and Annabeth's work from our teachers."

Mr. Brunner eyed him carefully. "Okay, fine. Jason, Piper go to class. Perseus, bring Annabeth home safely. I mean it!"

Perseus.. like Zeus' son? The only Demigod to have a happy ending?

Percy nodded and picked me up bridal style. It made me more drowsy. I put my head on his chest as he carried me to his car with both of our book bags.

"Percy?" I started to call for him. My mind was asleep right now. This was my heart talking. It was talking a dangerous language too.

"I'm right here, Beth... I'm not leaving you. I promise," Percy sat me in the passenger seat of his car. He smiled at me aimed pushed the hair from my face.

"Don't leave me... never leave me.." My heart made me say. Percy could easily mess with me right here. I was an easy target at the moment. I was vulnerable.

Percy planted a sweet kiss on my forehead. "I will never leave unless you want me to.. I'm going to be by your side until the day you die Annabeth... That is a promise.."

Now I feel bad for my plan. I don't want to play him anymore. I want to love him. I smiled at him and closed my eyes.

The next thing I knew I was asleep.

Home. Dec. 17th

I woke up and saw Percy asleep beside me. I thought this was the perfect moment to write another entry.

So.. I dreamed about my wedding. Mine and Percys. I was wearing a magnificent white dress with a blue ribbon tied for the corset. I had different shades of blue flowers in my hair and in my hand for the bouquet. Percy had a nice black tux with a tie matching the dark blue ribbon I had. Our arch was set on a beach and we got married at sunset. The arch, which was obviously designed by me, was decorated with the different flowers that were placed in my hair. The tables were made of the same white wood as the arch, so were the chairs. The chairs were covered with a white cloth, as were the tables. The table had an ombre of blue sand in a jar. They had different ornaments that represent different things to us on top of the jar. The chairs had different color blue pillows on them. I was in love with the setup.

I think that's enough for my dream. Percy is up anyway.

Got to go. Bye for now.

I put my diary in my nightstand drawer just in time before Percy woke up. I heard him groan a little.

"Annabeth?"

"That's my name."

"Why haven't you been sleeping?" he asked, now looking at me.

I shrugged. "I don't want to see the nightmares."

He reached over to hold my hand, "Annabeth…"

I look away from him.

"What are the nightmares about?" he asked, rubbing my thumb.

"I don't want to talk about them.." I whispered, looking back at him with slight desperation to drop the subject.

"Your mom?" he guessed, looking at me like he knew me since we were 12.

I avoided the assumption. "What were you, Thalia and Luke talking about earlier?" I ask to change the subject.

"Something.." he sighed and shook his head, making his dark locks shake water droplets off. Was it raining or did he take a shower? Wasn't it intruding if you took a shower in a girls house while she was asleep, "you don't need to worry about it... Now tell me."

I looked away from him but gave a curt nod. My curls falling in front of my face. I could feel the waterworks.

But before I could really say anything, my phone rang in my pocket. I pull out the iPhone and read the text message.

Pipes (the bestest -P): Hey... I'm worried about you. We can talk later. I know Percy's there ;)

I roll my eyes her and throw my phone to the other side of my bed. I was raised not to be rude to people. Percy was talking to me. Which I admit, gave me butterflies.

"Can we please talk about something else?" I ask him, looking back at him. That when I saw the concern in his face.

"Is Piper a good friend?" he asks, looking down at his hands in his lap.

"Yeah… shes the best. Why?" I was so tempted to reach over to and cup his cheek.

"We both know I'm not the best person in the world…" he says in a hush voice like he didn't want anyone to know about it.

I gave a laugh, "especially when it comes to girls." I was only teasing him though. I didn't expect him to look so hurt.

"I want to say I regret it... But it can sound really bad.." his face dropped again. I decided I didn't like sad Percy. "I was a party freshman year… and so was Piper. She was drunk and wanted to have a good time… and she asked me for sex. I had just drunkenly made the stupid deal with Luke so I was ecstatic. I said yes and-"

"She was your first virgin.." I seethed through my teeth. I wanted to smack him. First off, liquor can give you kidney damage and second, you don't drunkenly make deals with people.

He only nodded.

I couldn't believe the nerve of him! My body acted on its own and almost came to punching him in the face. I didn't believe my eyes. Percy was cowering underneath my fist.

I gulped and only gave his head push in the opposite direction. "You deserve a lot more than just this."

I heard him let out a sigh of relief. I just couldn't believe it. Was he scared of me punching him?

"So is that what you want from me? To get me drunk enough to want to have sex with you?" I ask coldly. I felt like crying. I let myself believe because I was talking to the person who wanted to have sex with me just for a stupid bet. "Is it because I'll top it off? I'll be the one who wins the bet for you?"

"No, no, Annabeth. You have it all wrong. I don't want you like that… I mean I do but... I didn't kiss you that night to seduce you into sleeping with me. You're… You are something more to me…" he hesitantly took my hand from my lap, "you help me get away from my problems or my past actions. I regret it all Annabeth. I hate that I hurt girls… I hate that I sleep with them because I want to get rid of this pain inside me. I hate that I disappoint you constantly. I hate everything about me. Except that I... " he seemed like he couldn't say the rest of that sentence.

"Hey, Percy.." I reach over to him with my free hand, frowning, "stop being so hard on yourself." I pull his face to make him look at me. Before I knew what I was doing, I leaned down to kiss him. To kiss him like I was his girlfriend. To kiss him like I was going to lose him.

This kiss was slow and steady at first, but then I sat on his lap and pinned his hands to the armrest. I break the kiss to search for something to tie his hands down with. In the meantime, his hands roamed my body, searching for somewhere to put them so he wouldn't get in trouble. Or to much trouble.

I find some old ribbon and smile seductively at him. I had no idea what I was doing. This was just instinct or something. I pull his hands from my body and tie them to the armrest.

"Annabeth? What are you doing?" Percy asks, looking up at me like he saw a ghost.

I just smile slyly and kiss down his neck. "Who did you dress up for today? Me or your side-chick?" I whisper on his neck. I hear him moan, which motivated me to unbutton his shirt. He had a blue dress shirt on with some black slacks on. He was somewhat casual with his blue converse on. I don't know why this turned me on so much. I guess I like a well-dressed man… but his goddamn messy hair is my life. "Or am I your side-chick?" I say teasingly.

He groaned, "Annabeth… I lo-" I start to unbutton my top, shhing him with a kiss. He kissed back hard like he never wanted anyone as much as he wanted me.

Then I heard something in the kitchen. I jump back and untie the ribbons from his hands. He took my actions in the wrong way and tackled me onto the bed. His hand traveled up my side, which was exposed since I unbuttoned my shirt. My back arches on its own and my waist twist at his touch. He kisses down my cheek and down my neck to my bra line. I was wearing a white lace bra, making my skin look even tanner than it was.

I bite my lip, no longer caring about the person in the kitchen.

I let out a throaty moan as I feel his calloused hands on my thigh. "Gods Jackson.." I grip his hair, pulling his face back to mine.

"There is no Side-chick.." he whispers in my ear before licking it. I giggle in response.

We lay there, kissing, licking, and biting for what seemed like forever. It just felt right with him. He didn't take it any farther than this. He occasionally, grabbed my boob to surprise me. I end up giggling after the shock wore off.

I almost forgot the fact that someone else was in the house and heard all of our giggles and moans. But, for once, I didn't care. I never felt so at home with someone. Is this what love is?

Home/ Dec. 17th.

So… Percy and I had a heated makeout session. Both of us were half naked and it was awesome to feel his chest. I'm not supposed to fall in love with him because I can't play him if I'm in love with him. I talked to Rachel about it and she said she had an idea. I have no idea what it is but I hope it's good. I don't want to fall in love with him.

I hope it won't hurt me either.

~Annabeth Chase. December 17th. 17

Ha! I can't believe I thought that! Gods… I still remember the makeout session. One of many… Have you ever tried Percy's lips! They feel like clouds… and the way he touched me so gentle yet rough and teasingly. Gods…

And Rachel… she was a bitch with her idea… she promised I wouldn't get hurt. But I did.
