Hey guys, I got so many reviews for last chapter! THANK YOU! I would have updated sooner, but i was working on my other story.

READ! If you could, can you read it? It's called My New Boyfriend. Again, it's about Annabeth and Percy. If you do, can you please review? THANKS

"I can't believe we skipped class!" I laughed as Percy shut the apartment door behind us.

"No, I've skipped class before. I can't believe you've skipped class! And there were no monster attacks to enforce your skipping? What has gotten in to you?" Percy teased me.

I hit his arm, "Shut up! You don't know what I'm capable of!"

He laughed at me, "I'm pretty sure I know. I have known you since we were twelve. Come on, wise girl."

"Okay, fine, you do know me." I walked over to him.

"So, what are we going to do now?" He asked.

I put my lips millimeters from his and whispered, "This."

We started to kiss. Only to be interrupted, as usual.

"I would be asking you the same thing!" A familiar voice shouted.

I turned around to find Sally looking sternly at us. Her arms were crossed against her chest. I backed away from Percy and stood behind him. My hands gripped his bicep. I was scared what she was going to say. Percy held his ground like he would do in front of a monster. Sally's eyes narrowed. She looked pretty frightening.

"Mom, we were just-"Percy started.

"Save it. I don't wanna hear it, Percy. I don't wanna know why you two decided to skip school!"

"Sally, it was my fault. Don't blame Percy. He was just doing it to protect me. We have a legitimate reason for it." I pleaded.

"I understand, Annabeth, that you wouldn't do it if it wasn't for a good reason. I just can't believe that Percy gave in to it. He should know better."

"Mom, I do. I was just protecting Annabeth!" He shouted at her.

Sally raised her hand to stop him, "Percy, can I talk to you about this alone?"

I understood what she was saying. I gave Percy a kiss on the cheek and left to his room. The door slammed shut behind me. Percy and Sally were obviously yelling at each other. I couldn't really understand what they were saying, but it was about me. I tried to cry, but the tears weren't coming out. I had just gotten Percy in trouble with his mom. I was not planning on getting him in trouble with something so stupid like skipping class. If anything, I would've gotten him in trouble for making out with me in his room without clothes on or something.

So, I just sat there. I sat there on his bed. The covers were up to my face in case tears did decide to come. I had a feeling that they wouldn't, but I wanted to be safe. I kept on thinking about what was going on out there. Whatever popped into my head, I shook it out. I couldn't think straight. Everything in my mind was crazy.

Finally, Percy strolled in the room. He was pissed. His face was cherry red with anger. As soon as he saw me, though, his face softened. He smiled a little bit. I shoved down the covers and ran into his arms. His hands wrapped around me and calmed me down.

"What happened out there?" I asked as we separated.

"She was just wondering about why we skipped school. I didn't tell her about Evan and Zach, so she started to yell. I did end up telling her, though. I'm sorry if you didn't want her to know. I just had to tell her."

"You are a momma's boy." I joked.

"Are you okay with her knowing?"

"Yeah, I am, I was just wondering why you're so mad. When you came in, your face was steaming. What made you so mad?"

He sighed, "She kept on yelling at me for being stupid because I wouldn't tell her. I over reacted. You know how I get when I yell even a little bit. I get overworked. I get even madder than I already was."

"I understand, so it wasn't really that bad?"

"No, it wasn't. I would tell you if it was, trust me. I would tell you."

I hugged him, "I know you would. I just wanted to make sure that was all."

"Annabeth, I love you. I just wanted to protect you. My mom finally understood that. I would skip again and again as long as you're safe."

"Thank you."

"I have some bad news, though."

I cringed and sat on the bed, "What do you mean?"

"Evan was bragging to Riley after school. She called me immediately afterwards. Apparently, Evan was assigned to sit right next to you in history."

I let in sink in. The boy who was torturing me was supposed to sit right next to me? How could that happen? Why did it have to happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? "He's sitting next to me?"

"Annabeth, I am so sorry. We could talk to Paul about it. Maybe you could switch classes or something. I don't even want to leave you alone in the same room with him."

"No, I have to do this. I can ask the teacher to switch seats. It'll be alright." I hope.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna leave you alone with them!" He argued as he sat beside me.

"Percy, I'm fine. I can handle it."

"It's not that you can't handle it. I know you can. I am just worried about you. A boyfriend has that right!"

"I know you do, Percy, but I can handle it. I just need to talk to him. Do you think that you can set that up?" I added in a small voice.

"Annabeth, you are asking me to ask Evan to talk to you. Are you sure you're alright?"

I laughed, "I just need to talk to him without anybody around. I can make him see reason or something."

"Well, if anybody can, it'd be you!"

"Thanks, seaweed brain, can you set it up?"

He looked mad, but accepted it, "Yeah, I can. Do you want me to call him, or should I just wait to see him at school tomorrow?"

"You can wait if you want. I don't wanna meet him before tomorrow, anyways."

"Good, because I might have threw my phone across the room when I was yelling at my mom."

I laughed, "You threw your phone across the room? What are you? Seven?"

"No, I was just pissed. No I don't have a phone. I'll have to tell Leo to make me a new one." He sighed.

Leo, son of Hephaestus, made us all cell phones that managed not to attract monsters. They worked really well. Plus, they're iPhones! Piper charmspoke the Apple Company to donate a bunch of phones. They keep bringing in more as time goes by. They're all really nice phones. Leo will let you personalize them. Mine has an owl on the back with Percy and my names written underneath it. Percy has the same thing, except instead of an owl, it's a picture of me. I found it really cute. Anyways, Leo made them really nice. We could call whenever we wanted to and monsters never attacked.

"I don't think he'll like putting my picture on your phone again. He barely liked it the first time! That was the hardest one he had to do. He said no to everybody else."

"Oh, I have my ways of making him agree to it! Besides, who said that I want you on my phone?"

"You don't?" I tried to sound upset and hurt. Apparently, it worked.

"Annabeth, that's not what I meant. I was just kidding. You know me. I'm a seaweed brain!"

I laughed, "Percy, I was just playing. I don't care what you put on your phone as long as our names are on the bottom."

"Good. Yeah, you were right. I am putting you on the outside. Maybe, I'll put a picture of both of us!"

"Percy, I think just me will work. Do you really want to see you on your phone every day?"

He thought about it, "You're right."

"As usual," I muttered.

He hit my arm, softly, "Hey! That's not nice. You aren't always right!"

"Name one time!"

He had to really think about it. "Okay, well, I can't think of any right now. Don't worry, though, I'll think of one eventually."

"How did we get so off topic?"

"I'm just good at that."

"Good at what?"

"I am great at distracting you! You can't even deny it!"

I laughed, "Sure you are, seaweed brain! Sure you are. I do think that I am better at distracting you than you are me."

"Okay, I barely got any of that! Can you repeat it slower?"

I sighed, "Nope. You'll just have to figure it out!"

"Ugh, Annabeth! Why do you have to be so hard on me?" He whined.

I smirked, "I told you, seaweed brain. I am never going to make this easy!"

"Does that mean that you are distracted by me? Or does it have nothing to do with our previous conversation?"

"Percy, your head is full of kelp."

"I thought it was full of seaweed!" He joked.

"Your brain is full of seaweed. Whereas the rest of you head is full of kelp. It makes sense if you would pay attention in science."

"Yeah, that class is really boring. When are we ever going to need to know how to split water into oxygen and hydrogen? It's so useless!

I laughed, "No, you just don't understand."

"Do I get a kiss if I pay attention?"

"You'll get a kiss no matter what!" I leaned in.

"Oh, I like this Annabeth. She's way funner than the other one!" Percy joked.

"Funner isn't a word." I corrected.

He leaned in the rest of the way, "Now, there's the Annabeth I know and love."

I crashed my lips on to his before I could make a witty comeback. Normally, I would have found a really good one. I was just too intoxicated by Percy's hotness. It's not every day that a really hot guy is kissing you. Well, it kind of is for me, I guess.

~O~

I was waiting, for what seemed like hours, in an empty classroom. No one would be bothering us. School was over, and besides, this room never had anyone in it. There was no teacher for it. I was sitting on the desk in front of the board. I was facing the desks in front of me. The door was to my left. My breathing became faster as I thought more of what was going on. I was terrified. Me, Annabeth Chase, was terrified. I'll admit it. I do have a good reason, though.

I was meeting Evan.

You may say that I'm pretty stupid. Well, I guess I am, but I had to talk to him. I needed to talk to him. He needed to see reason or something. We were never going to be together, but he wouldn't accept it. This was my way of talking to him. Just me and him.

Slowly, I heard a door creak open. I turned to face it. Evan was sauntering in. He looked really mad. I didn't smile or show any emotion. All I did was sit there. He came and sat in front of me.

"Hey, Annie, why'd you call me in here?" Evan asked.

"We need to talk," I replied.

"That's what you told Perry, right? Well, I think you can tell me the real reason."

I cringed, "Evan, the real reason is that we need to talk."

He sat back, "What about? Have you finally decided to take me up on that offer? My car's ready when you are."

"No, trust me, that's not it. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about us not getting together."

"Continue," He sighed.

I realized that I didn't really know what to say. I never thought we would make it to this point. In all of my plans, he would try to seduce me or rape me. I would then call in Percy who would pretty much kill him. I never thought that he would actually listen! What was I going to say? I had to wing it. Gods, Athena would surely kill me.

"Look, Evan, I love Percy. I don't even remotely like you. I'm never going to get into your car with you or Zach. I'll never do that!"

"I'm listening."

I took in a deep breath, "Can you just leave me alone?"

"Now, Annie, I know that you like me. I like you, too. I realize that you don't wanna upset Perry. That's okay. We can convince him." As he said this, he slowly inched his way over to me. He stood less than half a foot away from me. His smirk was growing with each word. I felt scared, a little.

"His name is Percy, not Perry. Don't ever call him that again, you pig!"

He put his hands up in defense, "Okay, his name is Percy. Why do you even like that fool?"

"He's sweet, caring, hot, strong, athletic, talented, fast, cute, funny, challenging, not always smart, not the best cook. He doesn't pressure me. I love him. We're best friends. He knows everything about me and loves it no matter what. He can see me at my worst and still think I'm gorgeous. He argues, but it's so cute. We know everything about the other. He's saved my life multiple times. And me to him. When I look into his eyes, I see everything. He laughs at my jokes, even when they aren't funny. He at least tolerates my friends. He calls me by my actual name or wise girl. We have funny nicknames for each other. And he's not a pig. Do you want me to continue?"

"Annabeth, I can do all that."

"Really? I live with him, Evan. He hasn't made me do anything that I don't want to do. Unlike you, who, after the first week I knew you, tried to rape me in your car!"

By this time, Evan was in between my legs. He was standing there, so close to me. I didn't notice this because I was too lost in my thoughts. First, Percy, then about Evan's car.

"Look, I know you wanted it. Can you just give me another chance?"

I was confused, "Evan, why would I give you another chance? That's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard! Trust me; I've heard some stupid things. Most of them were from seaweed brain." I mumbled the last part.

"I'll try to win you back."

"You never had me! Do you not understand that? I love Percy! I've loved him since we were twelve! You can't just change that. I will never like you! Let alone love you!"

He cringed, "You just don't understand."

"I don't understand? Evan, I don't think you understand anything."

"Annie, don't say that."

I sighed, realizing his close proximity to me, "Can you please leave Percy and I alone?"

"Why would I do that?"

"If you really do love me, then you'll do that for me. You can try to do everything you can do without talking to me."

"Fine, I will. Just know, Annie, that I will win you back!"

All of the sudden, I felt his lips touch my cheek. I gasped. His lips weren't as soft as Percy's. That's when I heard the door open. Evan backed up and walked out. Percy was standing there, his fists balled up. I stayed, sitting, until Evan left. He winked one last time at me. I closed my eyes. Slowly, I felt a tear fall from my eye. I whipped it away before Percy could see it. Too late.

"Annabeth, it's okay," He tried to calm me down.

I got off the desk and ran to him. He embraced me in a hug. My hands were around his torso as his were around my shoulders. I cried into his shirt. If he already saw me crying, he wouldn't mind if I cried more. I knew that he always felt terrible when I cried, but I couldn't stop. I'm not really sure why I was crying. I've faced things worse than a teenage boy.

"Are you gonna tell me what happened?" Percy asked.

I nodded, "H-he told me t-that he was gonna wi-win me back, Percy."

His grip on me tightened, "I won't let that happen. I won't let you leave my sight."

"Percy, we don't have every class together. I have classes with him in it that you aren't in. I told him that he couldn't talk to me. He could try to get me back without talking. He had to leave me alone. I think he loves me."

"What makes you say that?"

"I told him that if he really loves me, he'll do what I say and leave us alone."

"Annabeth, I'm gonna kill him for you." Percy muttered.

I backed away and looked into his eyes, "You can't do that."

"Why not?"

"If you beat him up, you'll be suspended from school. I can't let that happen. Austin will be the only one who will actually want to protect me. All the other guys will just shrug it off and protect their girls first. Austin isn't as strong as you. He can't take on Evan and Zach and win. It won't happen. You can, though."

"I know that, but I can't let him do this to you! I can see it in your eyes. He's torturing you. Every time he looks at you, you get even more scared. It hurts me to see you like that."

"I know. Do you wanna know what else happened?"

He chuckled lightly, "Sure, what happened?"

"I told him some of the reasons why I love you."
