Hey guys! I'm a back! Yes I know it's late but well so when my mom picked me up from where the bus leaves me at (about at 4:30 PM) she needed to go to the bank and some other places. We ended up getting home at about 6 PM and I ate because I was totally starving. I hadn't ate anything since about 11:30 AM. So it's like i'm dying already. As usual every day... Well so now it's like 7 PM and i'm just starting the chapter so yeah Well let's just go on to the story.

Melissa: She does not own the Percy Jackson Series. That's all.

Chapter 9: Lost in the Forest

Annabeth's POV

Once our lips touched there was no stopping us. It kind of reminded me of the first kiss we ever had.

*Flashback*

"I dare you to eat a egg with the shell..." she said. We all chuckled. Thalia went in the kitchen and brought back an egg. She closed her eyes put it in her mouth, chewed it a bit and swallowed.

She sat back down and looked at me evilly. Oh no here we come. I swallowed.

"Percy, dare or dare?" she asked. I wasn't sure what that meant but I was certainly not going to choose truth.

"Dare?" I said. She smiled and whispered something in my ear.

"I dare you to give Annabeth a tongue-kiss for at least 5 seconds" she said. My eyes grew wide.

I was about to take my shirt off and noticed that I had already taken it off, the other option was taking my pants off... No thanks. I walked over to Annabeth who was still laughing from the previous dare, along with everyone else.

She didn't notice me at first but I quickly walked over and pushed my lips in her's. She stood in shock and opened her mouth to say something. That was my chance. I pushed my tongue inside her mouth and her eyes grew REALLY wide open. She tried to pull away but I held her after five seconds I pulled away and she slapped me HARD.

Thalia started laughing along with Nico and Jason, while the others stood there in shock. I walked back to my seat with my hand in my cheek it hurt ALOT. Wow girls really know how to slap... Thalia just sat there amused.

*Flashback Over*

Sure I had slapped him. Only because he put his freaking tongue in my mouth! Hello? We hadn't even kissed properly and he was already going into the part. I part of me was glad it was a dare. The other part was glad he had kissed me.

As we kissed rain started falling down. It was a matter or seconds, maybe, minutes, hours, heck maybe even days. Percy was on top of me, we were pretty much making-out. My mind kept telling me to stop, but my body wouldn't react. Stupid teenage hormones!

He put his hand inside my shirt, once we started working his way up my body finally reacted and I pulled away.

"I'm sorry" he said.

"No, i'm sorry I shouldn't have done that" I said standing up. "I was just trying to distract myself, and I guess I took it too far. I'm sorry"

"But... the kiss doesn't mean anything then? Right?" he asked. Of course not! Would it?

"Of course if doesn't!" I screamed.

He stood up and seemed to zoom out. There was an awkward silence for about 30 seconds.

"We should get back to the school... The girls must be really worried" he said breaking the silence.

"Yeah" I said as we started to walk in the rain. I stopped. "And Percy..."

"Yeah?" he asked looking into my eyes.

"Don't mention the kiss to anyone. Let's pretend it never happened." I said. He looked at me in understanding.

"Agreed." he said.

We started walking in silence all the way back to the school.

11:55 AM

We got back to school five minutes before the next class. Piper and Thalia hugged me as soon as I got there.

"Oh my gods Annabeth sorry we didn't say anything we were too shocked to act!" Piper said.

"We promise it won't happen again!" Thalia said.

"Okay... but... can... you... guys... stop... killing... me..." I said trying to breath.

"Why would we try to kill you?" Piper chuckled still hugging me.

"I... can't... breath..." I said.

"Oh sorry!" they both exclaimed as they let me go. I took a deep breath. We all turned to Percy who was standing there awkwardly.

"I better go..." he said walking as fast as he could.

We all just smiled and chuckled.

12:05 PM

Piper, Thalia and I entered the gym already changed. Today we were going to play capture the flag outside. That sounds like fun. The couch explained the instructions and we all separated to some woods behind the school.

"Ready! Go!" I heard the coach yell. Everyone was either chasing each other or looking for the flags. Except pretty much me. I was looking around trying to think of a plan. I walked through the forest looking around at my surroundings to see if I could use anything for supplies. A Daughter of Athena, always a Daughter of Athena.

It wasn't long before I was completely lost in the forest. I used a trail of nuts but they seemed to be dissapearing everywhere I went.

I heard a loud Thug! followed my foot steps. I got ready to attack. I saw a shadow and instantly jumped at it. I ended up lading on... Percy?

"You scared the Hades out of me!" I screamed.

"Sorry I was lost" he said putting his hands up in surrender.

"You're lost too?" I asked.

"Nah i'm just wondering around the forest without a map... Of course i'm lost!" he exclaimed.

I was just about to come up with a come-back when we heard a massive loud Crash! as if something had fallen. We heard footsteps coming towards us. I had just realized I was shaking. It wasn't even cold!

We say a shadow over us... it was... Thalia and Piper? Phew seriously! People as just going of scaring me today.

"Guys... what are you doing?" Thalia asked with a horror-stuck face.

"What do you mean?" Percy and I asked at the same time. Wow... telepathy or something?

"Aww Percabeth!" Piper exclaimed excitedly. Percabeth wasn't that the... oh... I just then realized that I was on top of Percy in a very making-out passionately position. We both looked at each other in shock then jumped away and stood up normally.

"Nothing..." Percy said cleaning his shirt.

"Okay... so i'm guessing you guys are lost too?" Thalia asked dropping the subject. Phew!

"Yep, any ideas?" Percy asked.

"I think it's this way!" I heard a very familiar voice say... Nico?

We all turned to see Jason, Nico, Grover, Anthony, and Daniel walking towards us.

"Guys...?" Jason asked.

"Let me guess lost?" Piper asked.

"Yep we tried following Nico's trail but it just got us even more lost!" Anthony said.

"Well we have to find a way out of here before class ends" I said. "We need a plan."

"And what can we do?" Jason asked. Everyone was silent. I started to think something normal for me.

"Okay does anyone remembered what direction they were walking in?" I asked.

"Um... North!" Grover said confident. I guess we could give it a try.

"Okay then we just need to go south" I said.

"And how are we supposed to do that Wise Girl?" Percy asked. Ugh that nickname.

"Well there's various ways. We could use the stars and find the big deeper, which we could easily point out the North star and go the opposite of that then build a compass with stick but we don't have the stars to guide us right now. We could use the moon but once again it's not night. Or we could build a compass using the sun too. And also use moss as a reassurance although it's not..." I stopped once I saw everyone staring at me mouth-opened.

"Okay... how about the simplest explanation please?" Daniel asked.

"I think it's cute..." Anthony said. Everyone just looked at him.

"Okay whatever... let me just build a compass that's easier" I said and grabbed two sticks.

After waiting about 15 minutes I made a little compass on the dirt and found out where the south was.

"It's that direction" I said pointing to the south.

"Okay let's go" Nico said walking off already.

We all started walking towards the north. Daniel kept trying to flirt with Thalia through the whole ride while she just glared at him or ignored him. Grover and Nico kept talking about weird stuff. While Jason and Piper just chatted.

I walked up to a tree too check if some moss was facing the south. It was this was a right track.

"What are you doing?" Percy asked walking up next to me.

"Checking moss..." I said. That sounded weird.

"Okay... just when I thought you couldn't get weirder" he said with a smirk.

"Ugh you are such an idiot... of wait I forgot you're head is full of kelp. Seaweed Brain" I said. He just looked at me.

We all kept walking it took us about half an hour until we stopped the school. Yes!

"Woohoo! Fredom!" Grover and Nico yelled as they ran out of the forest.

"You're such a genius Annabeth. I love you!" Piper said.

"Well I am considered a Daughter of Athena" I said smiling.

"A what?" Anthony asked. Oh S-kittles...

Oh Skittles?

"I mean..." I said trying to think of something. Nothing came to mind.

"She likes to refer herself as Athena's daughter you know the Goddess of Wisdom?" Percy said. Thank you! Wait did I just thank Percy? I'm going truly insane.

We finally go closer to the school and saw some Policeman standing there talking with the coach. I saw my step-mom and my step-dad there. Skittles!

"Oh my god! Percy, you've been gone for hours!" Percy's mom yelled and hugged him. Everyone else greeted they're parents.

"What happened?" the coach asked.

"We all got lost. But thanks to Annabeth here who build a compass the two sticks and the sun she guided us south and we finally got here" Thalia said.

"Well we have to thank this young lady for getting you all too safety" the officer said. I smiled.

"I guess there's nothing more to the case. Remember to be more careful next time" the officers said and then left.

I looked over at my step-mom and my dad who looked disappointed. Well that's my life for you.

"Annabeth you know you took a lot of work hours from my job?" My dad basically yelled at me furiously. Well i'm sorry I got lost, I wanted to scream.

"I- I'm sorry" I said.

"Well now my boss may even reconsider firing me or lowering my pay. All because of you're fault!" he screamed.

"Well of course you would care more about your job than you do about me! You're always freaking working and I'm always home alone! And you always wondered with I had no friends at all! I guess i'm just a curse aren't I!" I screamed tears escaping my eyes.

"Well maybe you are!" he screamed back. I felt as if I had just been stabbed.

"Excuse me Mr. Chase, but you're daughter just brought all these young kids to safety you should be proud of her not yelling at her" Mr. Jackson said.

"She's always constantly getting the family into trouble and ruining our reputation. She's nothing but trouble!" my dad exclaimed.

I started tearing up even more.

"Well if you feel like that why don't I just leave!" I screamed and ran off.

"Annabeth!" I heard Thalia and Piper scream.

And i'm done! Yes I know Annabeth's dad is such a fu-dging jerk! Isn't he? Well in this story his the bad guy. Sorry I just had to add more drama I love Drama! And yes he cares a lot more about his work. Annabeth's step-mom isn't mean but she usually doesn't pay attention to Annabeth so... she was just quiet in the background. Watching the fight. Well see you guys tomorrow bye!
