Trouble Maker

Chapter V

Percy

One Tries To Kiss, One Only Fails

Author's note (iSopokey): Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter, I know it wasn't that ong, so I'm going to make sure this one is. Here's the question, sent from luckymonkeyvoodoo19!

Q: Is Luke coming back into the story, or will he stay in the hospital?

A: Yes, for all you Luke the jerk loving fans, he will.

Nah, who am I kidding, I'll always and forever will be there trash bag.

I had tears falling from my eyes, their mouths were dropped open, I had actually talked to them, emotionally, what else could unbelievably happen? Glad you asked, Annabeth ran up to me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry I left you, but I had to make sure the ambulance arrived." I was frozen, what in the hell, just happened? Suddenly, I wished that I could stay like this for the rest of my life, so I took advantage.

I hugged her back, just standing there, and the look on Thalia's face, was hilariously priceless. I couldn't believe it, I hadn't had a hug since mom… I sighed, more and more tears were falling.

I pushed her away, and I ran into the bathroom, and sobbed for what seemed like hours.

I hadn't realized how thirst I was until I chocked on my salty tears. I stepped out to drink water, and then, another weird thing happened. "Percy, is that you?" Asked my loving favorite teacher, Mrs. Florin.

"Oh my god, Percy are you okay?" Of course she would ask that, I was crying for god's sake! I nodded, "As okay as I'll ever be." She patted my back, "What's wrong?" I told her what happened, and she nodded, just like she would always do.

"But then, everything went right." She smiled, "Tell me, what happened?" I realized I was blushing, but I pushed that fact aside, "Annabeth hugged me." She put her hand to her mouth, "Percy!"

Just like my mother was, this was her reply, "Who was it? Do you like her? Is it that girl with the gray eyes?" Did she do more than hug you?" I took a deep breath, "Annabeth, yes I do, yes she is, and no, we only hugged."

Her eyes twinkled, "I knew this day would come." She said with I lung sigh, I hugged her, I know I'm sixteen, but hey, she's like a mom, "Thanks mom- uh, Mrs. Florin."

After she left, I sat on my bench alone, waiting for something to happen. My wish came true, surprisingly. Someone hopped up in front of me, I looked up, and found a beautiful girl smiling at me.

"School's over, what are you doing here?" It was four, what was she doing here, "I could ask the same thing." She smiled, "I forgot my textbook, and you." I smiled, faintly.

She sat down next to me, "I'm sorry about the hug, I didn't know-" I cut her short, "I'm sorry for pushing away, but it wasn't you, Thalia and Nico confronted me, so I wasn't really comfortable."

She just nodded, as if she understood everything I'd been through. Then, she asked me something, I would have blacked out if someone else did. Thankfully I didn't, "Do you like me?"

My face turned red, bright red. "I- err, uh- umm, I was, hmm?" I was done for, I was going to go to the maddest scientist in the world, and make him turn me into water. No wait, even better, a rock.

She looked at me sheepishly, those eyes, those eyes. I sighed, sucking all of my worries inside me as well. "Yes…" I whispered, she smiled back, "I like you too, you're cute." She was only here for one day, and she already called me cute, wow.

I froze, why did she like me so much, but she beat me to the question. "Why do you like me?" She asked, fluffily. I wasn't ready, this was too fast, I'm going to kill myself.

I'm smart, I can handle this, I'll tell her it's because I like chickens. Wait, what? What is wrong with me, what do I tell her? "Can we talk about this, uh, at my house?" She nodded, "Alright." And with that, she hopped away. Cute, I thought.

Friday, I was leaving out the school, allot of people were treating me, differently. I couldn't believe it, I wasn't pelted with eggs, I wasn't given sour faces, I had lots of smile given to me. I wonder…

I was on my way to my car, thankfully repaired, (for an extra two hundred bucks, seeing how my car insurance sucks) someone stopped me. Then it hit me, "I'm sorry Annabeth, I forgot, please." I said, holding the door open for her.

I saw allot of kids from the school smiling at me, and snickering. They didn't know, did they? I started the engine, the rough lovely noise from my car screamed. I love my car.

Before we started off, we had a small discussion, which began thankfully to my ADHD, I want to kill myself, but being with Annabeth, I could wait a while…

"When you said that you wanted to tell me why you liked me at your house yesterday, were you just being nice?" She asked, obviously sad. "No no, if that were the case, I wouldn't have hugged you…" I said shaking my head.

"But you did push me away…" She said glumly. I shook my head, "Don't take it the wrong way, I was just, I couldn't, I was surprised, caught off guard, I'm sorry…" I noticed that we were leaning in.

I couldn't help it, I didn't want her to be me. "Please, forgive me for this…" We were nose to nose, our mouths were slightly opened, ready to explore, but she pushed away, "Homework." She said smiling.

So there you go, that's how I was officially the biggest idiot, I should have hurried up, but no, of course I had to do it romantically, I hate myself.

I hit the gas pedal, and we were on our way, to battle the homework of my life, literally.
