Sorry for not updating, thanks for the reviewS!!

I swear there is a bruise on my cheek. Gods, I didn't know that Annabeth could hit so hard. I rubbed my absentmindedly and wondered why I reacted in such a terrible manner. I mean I did want Annabeth to like me... Right? Or did I like her?

A voice cut through my thoughts, "Percy the council will see you now,"

I looked up to see my father, all I could do was nod my head. I followed my father through the doors of the Big House and I saw everyone at the table. Some of the minor gods were there, as well as Artemis, Apollo, and my Father.

They were all sitting around the table along with other fellow campers and Chiron. And then I saw Annabeth. She was sitting next to an empty chair, which I'm guessing is for me. But the thing was, all Annabeth could do was glare at me.

Her grey eyes showed fear along with a taste of dislike. I don't wanna use hate because that's a strong word, but still. I mean I think I liked her, and I don't want her to hate me. I mean I really don't want her to hate me. Annabeth was and still is one of my best friends. But then again, I don't have many best friends. I have more or less Tyson, I had Grover and then Annabeth.

Pretty pathetic right?

"Percy, please take a seat," Artemis instructed me.

I nodded and sat down in the chair next to Annabeth. The moment I sat down I could feel that I was getting the cold shoulder. She was not happy with me. At all.

"We are gathered here today to sentence Perserus Jackson and Annabeth Chase. Due to the problem at hand, you may be sentenced harshly. Worst possible scenerio, Death." The Judge said.

I looked down at the table. My breathing came in short raspy breaths and my hands became clammy. I couldn't die. I could not be killed. Why would they even want to kill us though? We didn't do anything wrong.

No- I should not even be thinking about this. I wouldn't think about this.

"We will begin debating, now. Please step out of the room."

Annabeth and I got out of our chairs and went outside once again.

We both sat on the stoop. NOt talking. Sitting on oppsite sides of the ledge. We didn't even look at each other. I had to break the silence, otherwise I think I might die.

"Listen, Annabeth. I am sorry for early. I just didn't know what to say or expect. I didn't think you actually liked me. I thought you kinda hated me..." I said to her, scooting closer to her.

She looked at me, her eyes full of sorrow, "Really? I could never hate you Percy Jackson. Never."

"Yeah, I actually thought you hated me. "

"Well, I don't." She laughed.

And with that, I don;t know what came over me. I leaned in and I kissed her. I Kissed Annabeth Chase! And you know what? She didn't pull away, she just smiled.

"Percy?! What do you think you are doing?" I pulled apart from Annabeth to look into the eyes of her furious mother.
