Hey guys, here's the next chapter of Demigods in High School! I'm starting to lose interest in this story, and I don't know what to do next! PM me for ideas please! oh, and thank you to everyone who reviewed!
DISCLAIMER: if i was the wuthor, do you really think that i would be on ? that's what i thought.
"well, you see, there's this girl. and i kinda sorta really like her. you know? and she's beautiful." he started. i wonder who it is. i frowned slightly as percy continued on. "she can take care of herself, she's not clingy, she has blond princess curls for hair and stormy grey eyes. she's a demigod and she's my friend. i've only known her for a few days and i'm already crazy about her."
hmm...this person sounds beautiful. i tried to think of someone who was like that, but i came up with no one.
"but do you want to know the funny thing? she doesn't realise who i'm talking about." percy said to me, stepping forward.
"huh?" i asked, confused.
he laughed softly. "annabeth, the person i'm talking about. it's you." he stepped even closer, making me back up a little into the wall.
"it is?" i asked him, unable to think straight with percy this close to me.
"yeah. aren't you supposed to be a daughter of athena?" he asked me, smirking.
i glared at him for a second, considering hitting him. but since i'm a demigod with annoying ADHD, i act on impulses. my recent impulse? kissing percy.
i saw his eyes widen slightly before i slowly closed mine. i felt one of percy's hands go to the back of my neck, pulling me closer to him, and his other went to my hip. my hands went around his neck, my fingers twirling the hair at the base of his neck. we just stood there, kissing. after a little bit, i realized what i was doing. i was kissing percy! i was kissing my friend! i'm such an idiot! what was i thinking! i pulled away from him quickly and moved out of his reach, blushing like crazy.
"i'm sorry. i...i didn't...i didn't mean to..." i mumbled, blushing.
"annabeth..." he said softly. i ignored him and ran away, towards my house.
i'm so stupid! i can't believe that i just kissed percy! he probably hates me. but, why did he kiss me back? now i'm all confuzzled...i heard footsteps behind me. "annabeth! come back! why are you running away?" he called after me. i could tell that he was just as confused as me, but that didn't stop me from running away from him. i ran into my house and up the stairs so fast that i could've beaten zeus's master bolt. thalia would be proud. i heard percy run in. he walked up the stairs, trying to be quiet, but it wasn't really working. he sounded like an elephant walking up the stairs. i chorlted softly to myself. chortled...hm...what a funny word..."annabeth, can i come in?" he asked me.
"um, yeah." i said to him, my voice sounding scratchy, like i haven't used it for a while.
"are you okay? i mean, you kissed me, and you ran away." percy said, trying to understand. his eyebrows scrunched up when he thought, making him look adorable.
"yeah, i mean...no, uh, i don't know...i'm confused...my ADHD kinda went out of whack...i mean...i, i like you...but, i don't want to ruin our friendship..." i told him, my voice was quiet and it sounded so unlike me.
percy brushed the hair from my eyes, and he stroked my cheek. i leaned into his touch ever so slightly, closing my eyes. "annabeth...i'll do everything in my power to prevent this," he gestured to the two of us. "from ruining our friendship. but only if you give it a chance." he said to me, his sea green eyes looking into my stormy grey ones, searching for an answer.
"o-okay." i smiled. "let's not tell anyone except for thalia, okay? We don't need others to tease us about this." I told Percy.
Percy smiled at me and gathered me in a giant hug. I blushed a little at the thought of Percy and I kissing. And his abs...mmm...snap out of it Annabeth! "Okay, I can understand why you want to keep us secret, but we'll tell them eventually, right? Like, after we're sure that this is going to work?" He asked me, hopeful.
"Of course!" I said, grinning. "Now, come on, we should get going. Let me just call that annoying Thalia." I told him. He chuckled to himself and nodded, staring at me. It was as if he couldn't beileve that we're together. I dialed thalia's number, remembering it by heart now because of the frequent calling, and waited for her to pick up. I wonder what time it is. This is kinda ridiculous...it seems like someone wants us to be alone...hmm...
"Hello?" I heard Thalia's voice come through the phone. Was her breathing a little ragged? hm...
"Hey Thals! I hope I'm not interrupting anything!" I said innocently.
"Uh...Not really..." She cleared her throat. "So, why are you calling...Wait..." she started mumbling to herself. I think I heard the words that sounded like "kiss, love, skipping in flowerey meadows..." "OMG!" Thalia screamed into the phone, making me cringe.
"Thals! Shhhh! We don't want anyone else to know about...um...us...okay?" I was begging to her! Begging! I never beg to anyone! My fatal flaw ia hubris, so you should know how hard it is for me to be doing this.
"Fine, I promise." Thalia said on the other end of the phone.
"Swear on the Stynx." I told her seriously. I was NOT taking any chances with Thalia!
"Fine." She sighed overdramatically like the horomonal and moody teenager she is. Oh gods, did I really say that? "I swear on the river Stynx that I will not let anyone find out about you two lovebirds. At least, it won't be my fault if they find out." Thalia said reluctantly.
"Good. Now, can I talk to Percy?" Thalia asked me. I could hear the evil tone in her voice, and I can imagine an evil grin to go with it. The result? One evil demigod.
"No, we're coming back to your house now, you can talk then." I told her sternly. I wanted to get home...well, I'm not gonna lie, I also wanna be alone with percy a little longer...
"Oh, come on Annie, you and I both know that you just want to be alone with Percy a little longer." She told me teasingly. I felt my face heat up, and I could feel Percy's gaze on me.
He smirked and took the phone away from me. The nerve of him! "Well, hello Thalia!" He said into the phone, winking at me. "so, what exactly did you say to make my girlfriend blush like she is now?" he asked the innocent thalia. note my sarcasm.
I could hear her voice from where i was. "well, i spoke the truth! i said that she wants to spend more time alone with you." she said. percy smirked at me. i glared at him. he flinched, and looked away sheepishly. "so do you, so stop smirking at her." thalia's voice rang loud and clear in my ear, even from all the way over here.(A/N: I just unintentionally rhymed! I should be a freaking poet. clear, ear, here. XD) it was my turn to smirk at percy as his face turned red. his shoes have been quite interesting the past few hours, haven't they? i smiled at him.
"Okay Percy, give me my phone back!" I snatched the phone away from him. "bye thalia!" i hung up quickly so that thalia could finally give us peace. "now, come on! before something else distracts us from going back to thalia's." i said to him. someone really wants us to be alone, and i'm not sure that i like it. i reached for his hand and pulled him along the sidewalk.
"Why do we need to get back now?" He whined to me. I smirked at him.
"Well, what would we do anyways? Hmm?" I asked him, still smirking at him.
"Uh...you know, the usual..." He looked away from me, his face red. He looked back at me after a minute, smirking. "We could finish that kiss that you ran away from."
"Um...How about no." I said, smirking back at him. "Maybe later, but I really need to get my stuff and get ready for school."
"Awwww, but-"
"Later, after we leave." I promised him, still smirking.
He grinned. "Okay, I can deal with that, but let's say that I'm gonna walk you home because we figured that we live so close to one another." He said to me.
"Fine with me." I said to him. "Now, come on! I wanna finally get all of my stuff. I'll be surprised if the stoll brothers didn't do something to it." I laughed. We were at Thalia's house in mere minutes. As soon as I saw her house, I let go of Percy's hand. "race you!" i yelled over my shoulder.
