Percy's POV

I can't believe that Annabeth is coming over in two days. My mom is really happy too, because she missed Annabeth. I remembered the underwater kiss we had shared and I felt extremely sad and empty. Suddenly, I heard a voice that I kind of recognized in my head.

You know you like her. You know that you don't want to be "just friends"

Who are you? Kronos?

Kronos? Who, me? You've heard from me before, I'm your gut, Vladigut!

What??!

Haven't you heard of the phrase "Listen to your gut"?

Yeah, but-

Well there you go! Anyways, you really should get back together with blondie.

Annabeth?

Yeah, she's a perfect match! You two are best friends, you've saved her life countless times, vice versa, believe my kid. There are so many reasons to go after her that if you stuffed them all in a bag, it'll be bigger than my aunt Helga. And believe me. That wo-gut is huge. Unnaturally huge. Besides, blondie's gut is cute.

What?!

Yeah, blondie's gut has those irresistible stormy grey eyes and nice curves. She's hot.

You're a perv. Get out of my mind.

I forced myself to think of other things to get him out.

Remember, you two aren't "just friends". What I'm saying is right!

Get Out!

And my gut was no longer in my head. Though I tried to forget about what happened, it clung on to me throughout the day. Maybe Annabeth and I should take it to the next level. Maybe friendship wasn't enough. Maybe only love will fill my emptiness. Maybe my perverted gut is right. Maybe, just maybe, Annabeth would be thinking of the something as I am, and her gut is telling her that friends aren't enough too, and-

I told you I was right. And oh, by the way, blondie's gut ­is telling blondie about what you were thinking.

What? How do you know?

I GM'd her.

GM'd?

Gut Messaging. And by the way, blondie's gut thinks I'm hot.

Ew. Get out of my head.

Ha, this time I'm here to-

"MY GUT IS NOT GONNA BE IN MY HEAD! YOU GET OUT OF THERE YOU STUPID, RETARDED GUT!" I screamed. Vladigut was finally out of my head, but my mom and Paul were staring at me.

"Hormones." I said to them as I went to my room.

You didn't have to yell.

I almost screamed.
