WARNING: EXTREME PERCABETH FLUFF IN THIS CHAPTER :D

Well, here we go!

Chapter Nineteen

"I can't believe you got me to sing in front of everyone," Annabeth groaned as she stepped outside of the cafe. She envisioned herself up on stage, her face bright red, her legs shaking violently. "That was humiliating."

"Annabeth!" Percy argued, "You sounded beautiful. You don't give yourself enough credit. And the song you picked was perfect."

Annabeth nervously laughed. "Thanks Percy. But next time, you're going up there."

"Yeah, whatever you say."

"Seriously, you owe me!"

"Was it really that bad? Didn't you enjoy yourself even a little bit?"

"Well I guess it wasn't that bad. I liked the song...," Annabeth mumbled as she twirled her hair.

"Yeah, I'm sure you enjoyed the person you were singing it to a little bit more," Percy mocked.

"No, I don't think so."

"Yeah, I do think so."

"Oh, don't flatter yourself Percy," Annabeth said, grinning as Percy pulled to stop to respect the stop sign. "It might make you look arrogant."

Percy gave Annabeth a cocky grin. "But you love me so it's okay."

"Whatever," She chuckled.

"Just get in the car."

"Um, I don't think so. I want to drive," Annabeth argued.

Percy laughed. "Yeah, whatever. Get in princess."

Annabeth folded her arms. "I'm serious. You made me sing in front of everyone. Now I want to drive."

Percy looked at his care and then back at Annabeth. "But Annabeth...t-this, this is my baby."

"I thought I was your baby."

"You both are... You share the title!"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. She held out her hand for the keys.

"Annabeth!" Percy whined.

"Percy, give me the keys!" Annabeth pursued.

"Fine!" Percy growled. He handed Annabeth the keys in annoyance and sulked into the passenger seat.

Annabeth chuckled to herself as she stepped into the car, turning up the heat and changing the radio station into something that Annabeth found a little more preferable: classical music.

"Oh Annabeth!" Percy groaned. "Isn't letting you drive the car torture enough? Are you trying to kill me with this?"

Annabeth gasped, pretending to be offended. "But Percy, this is all I listen to! Are you saying that I have no taste in good music? That's very offensive. Looks like I'm just going to have to turn it up."

"Nooooooooooo!" Percy grumbled.

Annabeth snickered, sneaking Percy an evil grin.

"You're horrible," Percy mumbled, as he shrunk into his seat.

"You love me."

"Yeah," Percy mumbled sarcastically.

And soon the conversation dulled, leaving Annabeth to focus on driving and leaving Percy to focus on Annabeth in secret. He studied her flawless face: her perfect, blemish-free face, her sparkling gray eyes, her dazzling smile, and her gorgeous, curly, blonde hair. She looked like an angel crafted from the heavens and gifted to him.

"You know something," Percy whispered as Annabeth slowly pulled the car to a stop. "You're kind of beautiful." (A/N Total twihard moment right there)

Annabeth chuckled, and gave Percy a smirk. "You're not bad yourself."

"I'm serious," Percy snapped, playfully. "How did I ever get so lucky?"

Annabeth quickly put the conversation on hold as she parallel parked perfectly in between a lamppost and a small green Slugbug. She looked into Percy's eyes, her gray eyes glowing underneath the moonlight. She caressed Percy, running her fingers through his hair. "Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened if you had never moved to Manhattan. But I guess it was just fate. The better question is, how did I ever get so lucky? I was nothing without you. I was the school nerd, the girl who gets picked on by Rachel. With you, it's so much better now. I don't feel despair when I go to school. I don't feel self conscious due to what Rachel says. You aren't as lucky as I am, Percy."

Percy smiled. He wrapped his arm around Annabeth and pulled her as close as they could. He gently pushed her blonde out of her face and stared into her eyes. "Face it Annabeth. We're both lucky we found each other."

"Agreed," Annabeth whispered, their lips leaning closer together. She felt their lips touch, Percy rubbing her back in soothing circles as Annabeth ran her fingers through his wild mane. The kiss became more passionate and Annabeth felt herself leaning in closer and closer to Percy, almost completely out of her chair. They stopped to take a breath before continuing on. She leaned closer to him, until Percy changed his stance, his back pressed all the way against the two chairs, with Annabeth on top of him.

Their make out session continued.

As Percy trailed soft kisses down Annabeth's neck, Annabeth, breathless, spoke, "Don't you think I should go inside? My mom might be wondering where I am."

"Five more minutes." Percy continued as he began to kiss my jaw and my cheek.

Annabeth laughed. She leaned up, pulling away from Percy, who frowned. "Hey!" He shouted.

Annabeth took a deep breath, running her fingers through her matted hair. "We'll finish this tomorrow on the way to school. She helped Percy up and they stepped out of the car together. She kept her hand in Percy's as they skipped up to Annabeth's apartment. They stopped just outside of Annabeth's door. She looked up at Percy. "Try to finish your homework tonight."

Percy glared at her. "I finish my homework."

Annabeth laughed, as she stood up on her tiptoes, puckering out of her lips. "Yeah, two days after their due." She pecked Percy's lips playfully.

Her continued glare at her, but Annabeth noticing a smiling appearing at the corners of his lips. "Whatever. I'll say you later Wise Girl."

"See you tomorrow Seaweed Brain." She gave him another more passionate kiss. She unlocked the door and stepped inside, turning to look at Percy one last time. She kissed him, still remaining inside of her house. "I love Percy she whispered, closing the door in front of her.

"Love you too Annabeth."

School the following day was atrocious. Percy and Annabeth discovered that Luke was going to California to visit a couple of his friends, which left Thalia in a more than irritated mood. Whenever she spotted Annabeth and Percy kissing, or even so much as holding hands, she would flip out. Worst yet, Percy was given a hard time by Annabeth and Thalia because he got a B- on a pop quiz that their teacher finally finished grading. Annabeth and Thalia both received an A+ on theirs.

"Look," Percy defended as he, Thalia and Annabeth started walking down to lunch, "I had swim meets all weekend and I didn't get the chance to read the section very carefully. It's not my fault."

"Percy," Thalia groaned as she picked up her book bag, "Sometimes I wonder what goes through your brain."

Annabeth sighed, "Sometimes Thalia, I wonder if he even HAS a brain."

"Hey!" Percy shouted, offended. "You know, I don't appreciate you guys making fun of me all the time. I'll have you know that I'm a very smart student that's gotten a straight 3.7 GPA."

Annabeth chortled. "Honey," She said, running her hands through her hair, "I've had a straight 4.0 GPA since kindergarten."

Percy snorted. "Overachiever."

"Underachiever," Annabeth retorted slyly.

"Love Birds, do me a favor and shut up!" Thalia snapped.

"Jeez, Thals!" Annabeth said as they started off toward the cafeteria, "Just because Luke is out of town doesn't mean you have to go kill everyone else's fun."

"Puh-leaseeeee! It means exactly that," Thalia retorted.

"How long is Luke going to be gone?" Percy whispered in Annabeth's ear as they sat down in the cafeteria.

Annabeth leaned in toward Percy. "Another four days."

"God help us."

"Hey Annabeth," Katie said as she sat down beside her blonde friend.

"Hi Katie. Where's Travis?"

"Getting yelled at by his teacher. He was back-talking her again." Katie sighed, "Only he can get in trouble three times during a single class period. I can't wait to see the damage that he can do in his afternoon classes. How was your classes together?"

Percy rolled his eyes. "Lame."

Thalia sighed, "Crappy."

Annabeth grinned. "Amazing."

Percy moaned and turned to look at his girlfriend, "Again. OVER. ACHIEVER."

"Again. UNDER. ACHIEVER."

Katie laughed. "You sound like Travis and Connor, except usually their arguments are about me." Katie began to play with her slice of pizza.

"Connor still doesn't approve of you?" Percy asked.

Katie shrugged. "It's not that he doesn't like me or anything. It's just hard for Connor. He thinks he's going to become the third wheel and everything, now that Travis and I are together. Travis assured him that that isn't going to happen."

"Yeah. I'm sure their plotting another prank against you," Annabeth pointed out, smiling.

Katie glowered at her friend. "If he is, I swear I'm going to rip their hair out."

"God, can we stop talking about couples?!" Thalia snapped. "How about we talk about something a little bit more interesting. Like what we're doing for spring break. Well, I don't know about you guys but Luke and I are going to do a lot of-."

"Okay! Let's just stop there!" Percy shouted, chuckling.

Thalia glared at him. "I was gonna say that Luke and I were going to do a lot of partying!"

"More like a lot of PDA," Connor snorted, as he appeared suddenly, gliding into a free seat.

"Yeah, and maybe some other stuff," Travis added as he took a seat by Connor.

Thalia glared at them. "Shut it Stoll."

"Relax Thalia," Someone said from behind her. "I'm sure their just joking."

Annabeth flinched, recognizing the voice. She looked up, staring at Rachel with disdain. "What are you doing over here, Dare? And where's your stupid boyfriend?"

Rachel sighed. "Look, Annabeth," She started. "Can I talk to you for a second? Alone?"

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhh, cliffy?!

Anyway, I'm gonna go write an essay right now and then start Goode High School for Insane Youths :)
