Annabeth's POV
I ran smack into Percy who caught me.
"Hey. That was fast. So what's up with Nico?" he casually asked.
"Uhm. I'm not sure. He wouldn't tell me…" I mumbled.
"Oh. That's too bad." He replied.
"Yeah." I responded not really paying much attention to Percy, my mind was elsewhere.
I tried to pull myself together. Nico likes me. Oh Gods. This is bad. Really bad. And what makes it worse is that… I liked the kiss. More than liked it. It felt like incredible. I never really thought of Nico than more than a friend. Now that I really thought about it I could see myself with him. He was so sensitive, caring, and he was (extremely) good looking. The way he held me in his arms I felt like-
Shut up Annabeth! Get a hold of yourself. You cannot like Nico, you can't even be thinking about him like this. He is your friend and that's he'll ever be. You have Percy. You love Percy. Remember?
Percy's voice brought me back to reality.
"Annabeth. Come on. Didn't you hear Mr. D?"
"Huh, oh. No. Sorry." I said while looking at my feet, I couldn't look at his face.
"Well if we don't get to our cabins we're gonna be harpy chow." He joked. "Actually, you'd be the desert."
I guess he expected me to laugh, but I wasn't the in mood for laughing.
"I was kidding." He said.
"I know. Lets go." I mumbled. I got up and started walking ahead of him.
He caught up with my pace and laced his fingers into mine. Percy probably guessed I wasn't in a happy mood because the whole way to my cabin neither of us said a word. I was kind of relived. I needed to think.
I can't like Nico. Him and Percy were best friends. That would kill Percy if I like Nico. Not that I do.
Do I?
My thoughts were cut short again by Percy.
"I don't know how all the Athena kids can be so neat." He said more to himself than me.
"I guess we get it from our mom." I said staring at my cabin. I still couldn't look Percy in the eyes.
"I should go. I don't want to get in trouble for being out late." He said. He hugged me and didn't let go.
Oh no. He was going to give me a good night kiss. I couldn't kiss him, not after what happened.
He gently cupped my face with his hands. I had no choice but to look him in the eyes.
The minute I did, guilt flooded through me. How could I have done that to Percy?
He leaned forward. Just as his lips were about to touch mine I turned my face. He ended up kissing my cheek instead. He looked a little stunned.
"Goodnight Percy." I said. I quickly turned around and rushed through the door.
Before I shut the door I saw an expression on Percy's face that I'm pretty sure I wasn't supposed to see.
He looked upset. Really upset. I wanted to open the door and run into his arms. And then what? I hate this. Why did I have to kiss Nico? For a daughter of Athena I'm not so wise.
I changed into pajamas and crawled into bed.
Despite how much I regretted the kiss I still went to bed dreaming about Nico.
The last thing i remember about the dream is kissing Nico again.
and this time i didn't pull away.
