ANNABETH'S POV:

The end of the week was almost here which meant that project will be due next Monday. It's Thursday. Percy and I still have to put all the notes on the poster and include some diagrams that explains the steps of the lesson. The bell rang loudly. I rested my head on my arms, groaning softly while waiting for class to begin. I had a massive headache and all I wanted to do was go home, change into my pajamas, and sleep. Unfortunately, I had to be at a place called school.

I was drifting to sleep when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up, regretting it when I recognized the sea-green eyes and signature smile. "Hit the books too hard last night, Sleeping Beauty?"

I rubbed my forehead. "Shut up, Jackson. I'm not in the mood right now."

"Rawr. I swear one day you're gonna have to cut those kitty-claws of yours," he said sitting down in his chair and leaning back into it.

"Don't you have somewhere to be? I mean, doesn't your gang cut class or something in the middle of the first semester?" I asked annoyed by the fact he keeps bugging me. I know he's doing it on purpose.

Percy shrugged, grinning. "Maybe. Why? Do you want me out of your hair?"

"Yes," I grumbled.

"Well, if you have to know, I was thinking about cutting class. Ditching. Doesn't that sound like fun?" he said sarcastically. I glanced over at him and saw his smirk on his face. "I bet Miss I-do- everything-perfect doesn't like the idea of skipping school."

I rubbed my eyes, lying my head on my arms. "It actually doesn't sound like a bad idea," I blurted out before stopping myself.

Percy's look was hilarious. His eyebrows scrunched up and his mouth was almost wide-open. He started to laugh. "Miss Annabeth Chase wants to skip school? I believe the end of the world has just arrived."

"Shut up, Percy."

He was really starting to push it. "Oh, come on, Annie. Don't you have a sense of humor?"

I sat up and glared at him. "No! I have a freaking headache and all you're doing is making it worse! All I want to do is go home and sleep, but I can't do that, now can I? Now, please? Just shut up and leave me alone!" After my sudden outburst, Percy really did look a little shocked at how I yelled at him. I felt the temptation of smirking at him rising up in me, but I decided against it.

Percy leaned in closer so that our heads were almost touching. "Let me tell you something. It's very easy to remember." He put his lips next to my ear and whispered, "Don't push your limits."

When he pulled back, our eyes met. He was serious. I could tell by the way he was looking at me. SMACK! I jumped from the sound of Mrs. Dodds slamming the attendance sheet on our desk. We both looked away from each other to look at the steaming teacher in front of us. Her hands were on her hips and she was tapping her foot, apparently fed up with our interruptions.

"Mr. Jackson," she said looking at Percy. "Miss Chase," she said glancing at me. "If you guys are done, I would like to continue my class," she said through gritted teeth.

Percy leaned back into his chair and grinned. "Well, I appreciate the thought, Mrs. Dodds. You are oh, so generous."

I shook my head, hiding my face from the other students. He was about to get us in big trouble. He may not care what was on his high schoool resume, but I did! I chose to speak up. "Mrs. Dodds, Percy does not mean what he says."

"Well, Miss Chase, since you didn't do anything wrong, I guess you don't have to go where Mr. Jackson's going," the teacher said.

Percy continued to grin. "Where I'm going? I hope there's pretty girls."

I sighed, groaning miserably. I felt awful. Sweat started to drench my forehead. "Um, Mrs. Dodds, is there any way we can open a window or turn the AC up?" My head was pounding. "Please, Mrs. Dodds."

She glanced at me, but her expression changed. "Annabeth, are you feeling all right?"

"No, ma'am. I'm... really, really-" I didn't get the sentence out because next thing I know, my eyes shut and everything turned black.

PERCY'S POV:

I don't know what made me do it, but when Annabeth's eyes rolled backwards and fell out of her seat, I jumped out of my seat and caught her head before she hit the floor. She had passed out from her headache and the heat. Her forehead was drenched with sweat. She looked really pale compared to her normal tan skin. Mrs. Dodds sent a student out to go get the principal and to call for an ambulance. I ran my hand through her hair, brushing the strands out of her face.

"Mrs. Dodds, an ambulance is on the way," said Tom who came back with the principal and the school nurse. Mrs. Watson (the nurse) came running towards Annabeth.

She checked her wrist and shook her head. "Her pulse is low."

"Give her mouth to mouth," I said.

The nurse glanced at me. "Yes."

"We need someone to do it," Tom said.

Another classmate groaned. "Um, wouldn't it be weird if a girl nurse gave a girl mouth to mouth?"

"It's an emergency so it doesn't matter."

"She's gonna die if someone doesn't do something quick!" said another student.

I looked over at Annabeth and she was breathing slowly. I'm gonna regret this, but this is an emergency. I leaned forward and plugged her nose. In the eighth grade, we learned safety rules and what you have to do if someone has passed out and hasn't woken up yet. I was about to go against it, but she's dying. I honestly don't want someone dying if I could have done something. I may be a gang leader and I may not like her, but I can do something. So, taking a deep breath, I hovered over her and pressed my lips to hers.

ANNABETH'S POV:

My eyes fluttered open and the first thing I saw was a white ceiling. My head was still pounding and I was attached to an IV. I was in a hostipal. I looked over to my right and saw my parents. My mother was wiping her eyes in a tissue when I slightly groaned, trying to get more comfortable. Both of them looked over here and my mother gasped happily, walking over to me. My father held my hand as my mother held me.

"What happened?" I asked my throat dry.

My father handed me a cup of water. "You passed out in class. The doctors said you had a migraine and the heat made you pass out. If it wasn't for that boy, you might not be here with us."

"What boy?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

My dad smiled lightly. "Perseus Jackson."

"What'd he do?"

My mother ran her hand through my hair. "He saved you, Annabeth. He did the mouth-to-mouth sequence and it put air into your lungs. Enough air so that you could stay here with us."

"That boy is still a troublemaker, but I thanked him for saving you," my father told me.

"He saved me?" I asked in shock.

My parents both nodded. "Yes."

The first thing I will say when I see him will be thank you.

The second thing I will say, "You kissed me?"

MONDAY MORNING

Katie hugged me tightly. "Gosh, I missed you!"

I laughed. "I was only gone Friday."

"I know, but it was boring without you," Rachel said.

"So, is it true?" Katie asked.

I raised an eyebrow. "What's true?"

"Did Percy Jackson kiss you?" Rachel inquired.

I rolled my eyes. "I already explained it to you. He was doing it because it was an emergency. Honestly, I wouldn't even call it kiss. I was passed out, remember?"

"I know, but what if-"

"No," I said sternly. "I was passed out and he did the right thing."

Rachel shrugged. "It's still surprising that Percy, the mean and selfish gang leader, did a nice thing."

"Yeah," Katie agreed.

I sighed, irritated. "What don't we just forget about it? I'm better now and the doctor gave me some medicine for when I do have headaches, it'll keep it from turning into... the result of me passing out."

Rachel nodded. "I'm still shocked-"

"I don't want to hear another thing about Percy Jackson," I said shutting my locker and walking away from them. They kept nagging me about the 'kiss' between me and Percy. I mean, honestly, that didn't count. I was passed out and he did it only because it was the right thing to do.

Right?

IN MATH

I tapped my pencil rapidly, waiting for Percy to walk in the room. I haven't thanked him yet for saving me. The project was due today, but Mrs. Dodds gave us to the end of the week to turn it in. Right before the bell rang, the gang leader walked in, wearing his red and black bandana. His friend, Grover Underwood gave him a fist-punch before they went opposite ways. Percy noticed me in my seat and I instantly felt his green eyes lock onto me. He walked to his seat and sat next to me.

I was the first one to speak. "Um, I wanted to say thank you for saving me. It was really nice of you to do that."

Percy didn't respond for a while. "Well, don't get used to it. Don't go passing out on me just for me to kiss you."

"Excuse me?" I asked turning towards him.

"Do I have to repeat myself?"

I scoffed. "You know I thought maybe you just had a little good in you, but I was wrong."

"I have good in me," Percy replied.

"It must be buried deep down inside you," I said.

I then realize how close we actually are. Each time we would snap a remark at each other, we would get closer. Right now, his face was a few feet away from me. His eyes met mine and it looked like his face wasn't as tense as it seemed to be. His green orbs showed a different emotion in them. Something I didn't recognize. When the bell rang, we pulled away from each other, interested in the words on the board, even though he probably couldn't read them.

For the rest of the period, we didn't speak or look at each other.

At the end of the period, it was a whole different matter.

When I walked out of the class, after collecting tonight's homework, Percy was walking with his fellow gang members. I needed to know when we were gonna finish the project. I took a deep breath and walked towards him. One of the gang members patted Percy on the arm, making the gang leader turn around. He crossed his arms above his chest when I stopped in front of him.

"When did you want to finish the project, Jackson?" I asked.

Percy grinned. "Whenever I'm free."

"Um, no."

"Uh, yes."

I raised an eyebrow. "Do you honestly think I would let you pick when we're gonna finish it? I'm not a dumb blonde."

"Are you sure about that?" one of his members said in the background.

I felt a little offended. "Yes," I looked at the gang leader. "I want a good grade on this project. Mrs. Dodds was nice enough to let us have more time."

"Because of your little accident," another member said.

"Shut it," Percy growled at them. He looked at me. "My place. Tomorrow afternoon. I'm kind of busy tonight."

"I'm gonna hold you to your word, because if you don't-"

"I know. You'll tattle on me," Percy chuckled with his friends. "I'm not an idiot."

I smirked. "Are you sure about that?"

He glared at me and dismissed his gang members. He grabbed his backpack from the ground and turned towards me. I rolled my eyes and started to walk off.

"Oh, and you're welcome," he called. "Wise Girl."

I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at him. He winked at me before making his way towards his friends. I threw my hands up, confused by his actions. He was about to drive me insane.

What'd you think of the chapter?

What'd you think of the small 'kiss' between them? I wanted to add some moments between them before the real kiss in the kitchen. OOH, you probably can't wait for that moment, but you have to :(

Sorry. Or am I? ;)
