Outtake 2 – What Time Is It?

Annabeth's POV

This isn't my room. I thought and then felt an arm tighten on my waist, making me smile.

I held the hand and squeezed it. The room was dimly lit by the moonlight and after a few seconds, I took a deep breath and let it out.

"Hey, you're awake." He noted.

"You don't say?"

"Ha-ha," he tucked a lock of hair behind my ear, "had a bad dream? Are you uncomfortable?" He moved further into the bed to give me more space to lie down on causing me to smile.

"No, no, it's fine, Percy." I said and then pulled his arm tighter around my waist. "How about you?"

"I woke up a few minutes ago. You know those moments at night when you just wake up?"

I nodded and just stayed there, in his arms. I tried to go back to sleep but apparently my brain doesn't want to shut up.

This is what Percy and I do. One of us sneaks out and stays in the other's room for the night. We just share the bed and sleep beside each other. And no, we're not sleeping with each other; we're sleeping beside each other. It is as if we couldn't stand a night without each other's company. As if the time we spend with each other while we were awake isn't enough.

"What time is it?" I asked him a few minutes later.

"It's…already four in the morning."

I started getting up but Percy wouldn't let go out my hand, "Your mom might catch us."

He pouted then kissed me but let go of my hand, "I'll see you later."

I smiled at him and then sneaked back to my room. I lied down on my bed and sighed. I was staring at the ceiling and soon enough, I was already asleep.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

I reached for the clock and turned the alarm off. I got out of bed and got ready for the day. When I was about to leave, someone called me.

"Percy? What are you doing? You should still be in bed." I said as I saw Percy wearing his work out attire.

"Isn't it kind of obvious that I want to go jogging with you?"

I laughed for a while then realized he wasn't laughing along, "Wait, are you serious?"

"I just thought that since it's almost summer and I can't go swimming every day, I'll find another sport."

"Oh, well, come along." I said and then we left the apartment.

We went to Central Park and started warming up once we arrived. I was kind of nervous for Percy because he told me that he has never jogged until now.

"You ready?" I asked him after we did our warm ups.

"You bet."

I started off slow so he could catch up then started going a bit faster and faster until I reached the speed I normally used. I looked at Percy but he was already gone. I searched the throng of joggers for him and then I saw him running through them. About thirty minutes later, I saw him on a bench. I laughed as I passed by him because he was giving me a look that says, "You do this every day?"

When I was done jogging, I walked back to the bench where I last saw him but he met me halfway. I just smiled at laughed at him as he ranted about how bad and tiring jogging is.

"It's because you ran so fast as if zombies are coming for you." I said once he finally stopped.

"No, it's just a stupid sport." He said grumpily and waited for me to unlock the door.

"No, it's not. It's because-" I defended but Percy cut me off with an unending chorus of blah's.

"Percy." I warned but he wouldn't stop.

I did the only thing that would get him to shut up – kiss him. I reached for his face then crashed my lips to his.

"You finally took the hint." He smiled at me, making me blush.

I got my keys, opened the door, and entered.

"Good morning, Mrs. Jackson." I greeted as I passed by the kitchen on my way to my room.

"Good morning, Annabeth. I see you finally talked Percy to join you in your morning jog." I could hear the smile in her voice when she said this, making me smile.

I laughed and replied, "I actually didn't say anything. Just as I was about to leave, he appeared out of nowhere, already in his work out attire. According to him, he wanted to be introduced to another sport while he's not swimming. But after jogging for a while, he started ranting about how jogging is stupid."

I heard Percy's mom laugh. I got my towel and robe and headed for the bathroom.

"I think he just wanted to spend time with me." I laughed before entering the bathroom.

I wore my white Old Navy lightweight button-front sleeveless top, which I tucked in, a floral skirt, and oxford shoes. I tied my hair into a low side braid and wore a beanie. After I got ready, I ate breakfast with Percy's mom and Paul while Percy took a shower.

"So Annabeth, where are you planning to spend your summer?" Paul asked me.

"I never really thought about summer." I said then sipped my hot chocolate.

"Well, you're welcomed to stay here." Percy's mom smiled at me.

"Thank you."

When I finished my breakfast, I brushed my teeth, applied some lip balm, and waited for Percy. Percy came out of his room wearing a shirt, jeans, and sneakers. I smiled as I realized he was wearing the shirt I gave him for Christmas. The one that said, "Someone who loves me very much went to San Francisco and bought me this shirt."

"I love your shirt." I said as he reached the living room.

"I was hoping you'd say that." He winked at me.

We said goodbye to Paul and his mom and went to school. Since today is the last day of school, students didn't care about their attendance anymore. Some already left New York City and started their vacation early while some just came to school late.

Percy and I entered the school, hand in hand, and went to our lockers, still together.

"I love what you're wearing!" Silena exclaimed as I entered the classroom.

"Good morning, Silena." I greeted her then sat down beside her.

"I'm happy that I finally taught you a thing or two about fashion."

"You never really approved my t-shirt and jeans ensemble, didn't you?"

She gently nodded causing me to laugh causing me to laugh. Katie entered the room a couple minutes later. Her hair was in a side braid like mine, except hers had a flower tucked on the beginning of the braid. She sat down beside me because Percy already occupied the other seat beside me.

"Good morning." She greeted us.

"So where are you, guys, planning to spend your summer?" Silena asked us.

"My dad is planning to take a road trip around South America." Katie said.

"I think I'm just staying here in New York City not unless my dad asks me to stay with him." Percy shrugged.

"I'm torn between staying here and going to San Francisco. What about you, Silena?" I asked.

"Mom said she'll bring me to Paris for fashion week." She clapped and smiled at us.

"Okay, class. Free time for the whole period. Just stay on you seats." Mrs. O' Donoghue said as she entered the room.

Almost every teacher would use his or her time as free time. The others would let us play a game with the whole class. Even the teachers want nothing to do with lessons or just plainly want it to be summer already.

I looked at Percy and realized he was looking at me.

"What?" I smiled at him.

"You look very summery."

"Well, thank you."

"It's my first summer that I spent with you after how many years."

I bit my lip, looked at Mrs. O' Donoghue, who was currently reading a book, and then kissed Percy quickly.

"And class, please, keep your lips to yourselves."

The others laughed and I looked at Mrs. O' Donoghue. She was giving me a warning yet playful look, which made me laugh.

"Spend summer with me." Percy said once the laughter died down.

"If your dad wants you to spend summer with him then what happens to me?"

"I'll bring you along with me. Dad would never mind."

"And what if my parents want me to stay in San Francisco?"

"I'll go along with you."

I smiled at how determined he is and said, "Of course."

The bell rang and we left the classroom. Percy and I headed to my locker. I opened my locker and continued cleaning out my locker.

"Annabeth…"

I looked at Percy, about to ask him what he wanted; he already had his hand touching my cheek while the other one was on my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Per-" I was immediately cut off by his lips on mine.

We stayed like that for a few minutes even if a couple students would tell us to get a room as they passed us. The kiss was the kind of kiss that makes you want more or makes you want the kiss to last forever.

"What time is it?" I asked him as I reluctantly pulled away from him.

"It's," he looked around for a clock, "we only have a minute 'til our next class."

I quickly untangled myself from him, closed my locker, and hurriedly went to our next class with Percy in tow. Fortunately, we got to class just in time.

Percy and I went to the football field after we had lunch. Out on the field, you can see a lot of students, either sitting on the bleachers or sitting on the grassy field. We chose to sit on the bleachers today. Percy lied down on the seat while I just sat down on the space provided for the feet.

"Annabeth…" He trailed off.

"What is it?" I said as I looked up from my book.

"I was just wondering what would happen to us if you didn't go to New York City."

"I probably would never see you again."

"How about if we were still fighting about what happened when we were kids?"

"I wouldn't be here with you right now and you wouldn't be wearing that shirt. I'll probably be with Nico right now, playing Mythomagic or walking around school." I said as I thought about it.

"Then I regret nothing." He smiled at me.

I smiled back at him, kissed him quickly, and then continued reading my book.

"Annabeth?"

"Yes, Percy?" I asked without taking my eyes off the book.

"Do you want me to play the piano for you?"

This caught my attention so I put my book down and said, "Yes, please."

"C'mon." He said, stood up, held my hand, and led me back to school.

We went back to the crowded halls of Goode High. He brought me to the music room and immediately closed the door after me. He sat down before the piano and motioned me to sit down beside him. I sat down, excited for what he planned to play for me. He took a deep breath and placed his fingers on the keys.

"I practiced on this piece for a while now. I hope you'll love it."

"Of course I will, Percy."

"Just sing along of you know the song."

He started playing and then I realized what he was playing. I felt warm and happy because it was one of my favourite songs. He was playing Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae.

"Just like a star across my sky. Just like an angel have appeared. You have appeared to my life. Feel like I'll never be the same. Just like a song in my heart. Just like oil on my hands. Oh, I do love you."

Before I knew it, both of us were singing while he played the piano. When he was done, I smiled widely at him then clapped.

"Of all the songs to play, why did you choose that?" I asked.

"Because I knew that you like that song." He smiled at me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and just hugged him. He kissed my cheek then hugged me back.

"So for how long have you worked on that piece?" I asked still hugging him.

"A week already."

"It was beautiful. Thank you, Percy."

I slowly released him and then when our faces were just a couple inches away, I kissed him. His hand was on the back of my neck, pulling me closer to him, while his other hand still on my waist.

"I like you…so much." Percy whispered as he put his forehead against mine.

In a few seconds, a pair of beautiful sea green eyes stared into mine.

"I really like you too." I said then quickly kissed him.

"C'mon, it's almost time."

Both of us left the music room and went to his locker. He cleaned his locker while I had a quick chat with Nico.

"So where are you planning to spend your summer, Nico?"

"Mom and Dad are taking me wherever they go. They said that I'm so cooped up in my hotel room. How 'bout you?"

"Didn't really figure it out yet. I hope Thalia's doing fine." I laughed.

"I hope so. I'll see you later." He smiled at me then walked away from us.

Thalia's mom brought Thalia along with her as she promotes her new movie. Despite Thalia's protests, Mrs. Grace still dragged her along.

Everyone just stood up and cheered as the final bell rang, signalling that it's finally summer.

"What time is it?" I asked Percy, who also cheered along with the other students.

"Summertime!" He sang.

"Seriously, Percy? High School Musical?" I laughed.

When everyone just ran out of school, Percy and I just stayed behind. He wanted to have one last swim before leaving school. We went to the pool. He took a dip while I just sat on the edge with my feet in the water and a book in my hands. We stayed like that for a while.

"What time is it?" I asked as he sat down beside me, still dripping wet.

"Time for you to kiss me."
