A/N: Thank you so much, Togemon, for reviewing the second chapter! Again, you have inspired me to write another! I wish I could repay you by reviewing something of yours, but I haven't read any of the stories you fic about... sorry! I really should... :) ENJOY!

PERCY

How dare Monica Gilbert show up at my work and embarrass me in front of everyone? It's all her fault now that everyone thinks we have something going on between us... Her appearance at the prison was not only irritating, but there was not POINT! Of course I already knew she liked me... anyone could tell. She bugged the hell out of me when we were younger, just staring at me, giving me those sick, soppy smiles of her... And I thought it was just a childhood crush!

What an annoying girl she always was. No wonder the other boys and I couldn't help but tease her as kids... I've been trying to forget about my childhood ever since I ventured across Louisiana to work at the prison. One of the reasons I moved so far was to forget it, and when I'm reminded of that girl, especially her, I feel like just a school mate of hers again, and I hate that feeling! I'm already the youngest one working at the prison besides that idiot bastard Dean, and that doesn't say much.

That faggot Delacroix will be laughing at me 'til he's dead; good riddance! I really hope I get to stand at the front during his execution to watch him die, but my GOD, he'll be pushing his luck up until then. I can't imagine what he'll make me do to him if he goes too far; no doubt I'll have to break a couple more of his fingers... not like it will do anything. A stupid, useless inmate like him couldn't get the picture that I'm in charge from the beginning; so naturally he'll never learn. I'm willing to bet that mouse of his is more intelligent than him.

Such thoughts in my head... I have to get the girl out at least. My thirst to kill that expendable Delacroix helps push Monica further to the back of my brain.

Another perk; a new inmate is arriving today. I'm going to pick him up from the mental hospital... such fun. As if I don't have enough filth to deal with for the time being. The other guards will forget about the Monica incident after the new hellraiser comes; I heard he's a handful. Nothing I can't handle, I bet, but I'm sure he'll prove to be unhappy company for the rest of those idiots working on the mile. If I didn't know better, I'd say they're just as stupid as the prisoners.

Those prison guards had been as territorial and watchful as dogs to me since the first day I came here. I can understand a first day on the job, but when they watch and criticize your every move from then on, it makes you think. Especially that unbearably full-of-shit Edgecomb. He really needs to lighten up a bit, it's not like we're in the army here. He keeps going on about treating the prisoners nice or they'll snap; bull shit. They're about to die anyway, isn't the thought of the chair enough to make anyone snap, already? It's apparent that a little extra bad-treating will do them no harm. If I had intended to be hospitable to people, I would have worked at a hotel.

What's the use? I'm not fooling anybody... my thoughts have not been driven away from that girl since she came by. I try to think about my job, and then I picture that brat in my head. She just has to haunt me; and she only came for five minutes, too! Talk about cursed.

And I can't stop thinking about how everyone's probably going to start making fun of me and her... And they think I like her! And they think we're dating! I've never dated a girl in my life.

Oh, the girl loves me, I didn't think it was for real at first. I didn't WANT it to be real! But I have to admit it to myself!

She loves me! She loves me! She loves me!

I hate her so much, for spoiling my reputation, for making things even harder for me.

I hate her so much, for the embarrassment, for the NEW things the other guards will say behind my back!

I hate her for loving me. And if anyone believes a word I just said, you're the stupidest person alive, and don't deserve to know the truth. The stupid, evil, maddening, rotten, foolish truth. I don't think I can help, but love her back...

Damn me...
