Hey, sorry for the late update… I was busy.

Percy

A thousand curse words ran through my head as I ran from the bathroom, I wasn't ready to go back to class just yet so I walked through the halls contemplating what had just happened.

I had kissed a boy. No, I had made out with a boy. There was absolutely no way around it, and you know the worst part? I enjoyed it! His lips were so soft and his hands in my hair felt incredible! I had put my entire being into that kiss, more than I ever had with Rachel!

I turned a corner into a hall that led to the classroom, I watched Anthony go in. I studied him and his face was tear stained, but before I could see more he closed the door. I turned back around the corner and leant against a wall. My back slid down and I pulled my knees to my chest.

"AAAAAAAH!" I yelled, punching the air. This event was messing with my mind, making me crazy.

But, nonetheless I was gay.

There was no way to avoid that statement, so I guess I just had to come to terms with it. But it also didn't explain my attraction to girls…

No, maybe I wasn't gay; maybe I just had really strong friendly feelings towards Anthony. Really strong. Maybe it was because he made me feel good about myself like Rachel used to do. Maybe, it was because something about him seemed familiar. Maybe it was because…

There were definitely reasons to explain why I kissed him but there were still the hanging factors that I had enjoyed it and that I definitely would NOT kiss any of my other guy friends. But something had just felt right about standing so close to him, and I just got this urge to crash my lips to his and so I did.

I sighed out loud and whispered to myself, "I guess I had better get back to class…"

I stood up slowly and turned the corner. I stood out the front of the classroom, hesitating before opening the door. The class was quiet and everyone's heads were in their books, obviously copying down something.

I exhaled and walked through the door, smiling slightly at my Dad and taking my seat next to Anthony, making sure I was sitting as far away from him as possible. I tried to avoid his eye contact, or even looking at him at all. After several minutes of copying down some writing from the board, I stole a quick glance at Anthony.

His lips were swollen, which I was guessing from the kiss, but so were his eyes. They were swollen, red and puffy, his face was tear stained and he was biting his lip, which I guessed was to hold in tears.

I squeezed my eyes shut, and turned back to my work.

Annabeth

After Percy left me standing in the bathroom I hadn't done anything, I just stood there. Then I began to cry and cry and cry. I couldn't stop, my body shook violently as the tears streamed down my face. The lump in my throat had made it hard to breathe and my mind was taken over by the feelings of the kiss.

Now I was sitting in Biology trying to avoid eye contact with him. I looked up at the clock and wished with all my heart that I was Kronos and I could speed up time and end this torturous period.

At one stage, our legs brushed and a shock of electricity ran through my body. Percy jolted up and fell of his chair in the process of trying to get away from me. He was sprawled on the floor and the entire class went quiet and looked at us. Percy blushed and got into his seat, or the edge of the seat, I should say.

Another time, Percy and I turned our heads towards each other at the same time, our lips almost touching in the process. And with that our faces were centimetres apart again but we couldn't kiss here and I am positive that he did not want to kiss me again.

Percy

This whole period had been the most embarrassing, awkward one I had ever experienced! So I was very grateful for the bell to go when it did, Anthony rushed out of class and I just sat there shocked at the whole event.

I sat there for so long I realized that I was the only student remaining in the classroom. I groaned and grabbed my books I was about to stand up when my dad strode over to me, "Percy? Is something wrong?"

I looked up at him and for a moment I considered telling him everything but thought better of it and shook my head, "No it's nothing Dad."

"Well if you're sure…. And don't call me Dad in school."

I shot him a light smile and left the class.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Annabeth

At lunch, I purposely sat as far away from Percy as possible. I was sitting next to Rachel and Jason, with Thalia across from me. Percy was at the end of the table next to Silena and Leo. For almost the entire lunch, I resisted the urge to glance at him until curiosity overcame me and I glanced up to see him staring at me.

I could tell it was staring because his eyes were studying and his brow was creased. We both blushed when we made eye contact and returned back to staring at our bowls. I made eye contact with Thalia who cocked her head ever so slightly and I shook my head as if to say, "I will tell you later."

I felt very vulnerable and awkward after we had made eye contact, so I was very glad for Grover's offer.

Grover stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom, anyone want to come?"

Percy and I both stood up and said, "I will." I couldn't believe it! Are you serious? We had to say that at the exact same time?

Percy blushed and looked down at his plate and mumbled, "You go, I don't really need to."

I shook my head, blushing too, "No, I um… Need to talk to Thalia!" I grabbed Thalia and ran out the door of the cafeteria.

Outside, I pulled Thalia into an abandoned classroom. She looked at me worriedly, "What happened?"

I bit my lip and averted her eye contact. She groaned and placed her hands on either side of my face and pulled up my face so it was facing hers. She slowly removed her hands and placed them on her hips, she shot me an expectant look.

I sighed, "You really want to know?"

She nodded.

"I kissed Percy Jackson."

So how was that? That chapter was basically awkwardness between Percy and Annabeth so it was more of a filler but I think it is still important. NEWS: I have started reading the Red Pyramid! Yay, I really love it!

Love Emily.
