Who did this 'Annabeth' think she is? Talking back, talking when I'm talking, and not obeying me and once again, talking back! During her 7 years at home did her parents not teach her true discipline?

Gee, what great parents.

As I got into the elevator, I got behind her.

I look down and,( What? No! I wasn't looking at her butt! Who do you think I am? Although I mean she is rather beautiful. Daring. What I like in a- nevermind?) I start to see an opening. I see white lines scattered across her locker back.

What?

I'm-

The elevator dings.

Annabeth walks out first, then me.

Annabeth suddenly stops.

I nearly bump into her but keep walking.

I turn around and look down.

She's bend over tieing her shoes.

Her wavy blonde hair was always covering her upper back, right below her neck, wasn't covering anymore. ( I don't know if I told you yet but the shirts have that little flap- ya know like polos.) and above her shirt I see more of the lines. That's when I notice something.

Scars. Those are scars.

Man, how blind am I?

But they're faded. And can easily be covered by a thin coat of makeup.

Then I look at her arms and notice some of the same ones. But not cut marks, more like from some object small and thin.

Something's going on here.

Annabeth finishes and starts to get up. Wow she took a long time.

Shut up, ADHD!

I quickly grab her arm and find out that there are more?

"Annabeth what-"

"Nothing." She quickly pulls away.

"Annabeth, I know we aren't on the best terms right now. But we're a team. And teams don't let things hurt others. Ok?"

"Ok. Yeah." She doesn't make eyes contact.

I put my hand out and Annabeth flinches. I push that always at the moment. I put my hand under her chin and make her look at me.

I can see her anger and determination in her eyes, but it slowly fades.

Gods, I wanna kiss her so bad.

Shut up!

But-

No!

I look back at Annabeth.

"Annabeth you can trust me. You can tell me what's wrong. You know that, right?"

"...yes."

It's quiet. Dead silent.

I lean in and kiss her.

She's shocked for a minute then relaxed and I could tell she closed her eyes. She leans too.

I put more force into it and lean her against the wall.

She puts her arms on my shoulders, I put my hands on her hips.

It keeps going until the elevator rings.

We donut care. We stay in the exact same position.

"Man, dude, I didn't know arch enemies secretly loved each other. If that's true, then a lot of-" I hear a slap.

"Shut up! Don't you think it's adorable?"

We break apart.

Lemons. She smells like lemons.

Awwwwww

We stare into each other's eyes for a few more seconds, then we loose contact.

Annabeths eyes catches on-most likely my whole team.

I turn.

Yup. My whole team. Yay.

There's a bunch of mixed emotions. Shocked...happy...smirking.

I mean, who knew that we would like each other.
