Life in Song

Chapter 8 – Crush

Percy POV

"Thanks, Annabeth…yeah, yeah…okay…bye…" I hung up the phone. I had just called Annabeth, for probably the tenth time that night, because I needed help with Math.

Mrs. Dodds gave us way too much homework. But, tonight, something happened for the first time. Hearing Annabeth's voice…gave me this weird rush in my stomach, kind of like when you ride a roller coaster.

Not that I would admit it, but after a few months I kind of started to like Annabeth a little bit more. Okay, a lot more. Really, I guess I shouldn't be running from the truth. I don't think about Annabeth all of the time, but I think about her a lot of the time.

I wonder a lot if I run through her mind. Is there more to our friendship, or is this just another crush? Does she catch her breath when she looks at me? Either she doesn't like me at all, or she's holding back like I am.

I've tried to stop liking her, since this might be too soon. I mean, she just broke up with Luke, and I just broke up with Rachel, but I guess this crush isn't going away.

When I'm alone, I've thought countless times about all that we could be, but the question was, did she ever do the same thing? This could be something that could last forever, but it could also be something that lasts a week. I didn't want to risk it, because my…crush…on Annabeth isn't all that big, I don't think, and I don't want to risk our friendship. Normally I would ask a friend for help, but I don't; really think Nico or Grover are all that good with girls. At all. So, it's probably best that I keep this to myself.

Am I crazy for falling in love with Annabeth after a few short months? This was the question I was asking myself as I drifted off to sleep.
