Previously

Percy just ignored Ryan but glared coldly at me but stayed dead silent. It scared me, remembering a silent Percy is seriously a lot more dangerous than a yelling one...

Mrs. Jones interrupted "alright alright Ryan cool down, Annabeth, and Cassie take a seat so we can start alright?" I nodded numbly and Cassie led me back to my chair but i still felt his cold glare.

Gods help me...

I could not shake the feeling of his stare, in the end I felt horrible. Luckily, the bell had rung for first period and I was out of my chair before anybody else. Having your timetable seared into your mind means that I did not need stop and headed towards the science lab for senior science.

Once I was in my assigned seat I relaxed enough to notice nobody in the classroom except the teacher whom seemed to be getting an old TV out, and I couldn't help thinking I'm not really in the state to work after what's happened, so I folded my arms and rested my head and waited for class to start.

The classroom began to fill in, too slowly for my taste and in the end I started blocking out the noise around me, but I lifted my head when I registered somebody sit next to me.
I peeked through the curtain of hair and it was the person I least expected and the one I didn't want to be near now but it still made my heart flutter.

Percy Jackson was in the seat next to me looking straight ahead with a grimace, I hated it. Seeing him look so uncomfortable near me; I raised my head and stared openly at him waiting to see if he would turn...

He did not, just rolled his shoulders, and continues looking ahead. I was about to ask him something, when Ryan had interrupted glaring towards Percy "oi noobie, you're in my seat" I narrowed my eyes towards Ryan with a small growl coming out "sit somewhere else Ryan." I could not help the protective side I had towards Percy all these years, it was a habit I could not break, and I wouldn't.

I saw Percy give Ryan a smug smirk, and chuckled "you heard Annie, sit somewhere else Ryan." I snapped my eyes back to Ryan who looked extremely pissed at Percy but I could not care less.
I hid my grin knowing the fact that Percy wanted to sit next to me.

The teacher ordered Ryan to find a seat which ended up in the front alone, I rolled my eyes while I heard Percy snicker, which made me look in the corner of my eye, I saw Percy relax next to me but he suddenly caught me staring and raised an eyebrow at me causing me to look away.

The period had stretched on with the movie about gods know what cause my attention was fully on Percy, watching every move he made, every breath he took.

The tension between us... Well let's just say I felt the need to jump and the need to get away or give us some distance but I was in trance, the table we are sitting at was in the back in the right corner and to make it more intense, the lights were out.

I mean anything could happen couldn't it? So after 8 minutes convincing myself not to talk to him but that side lost and with all the courage I could muster there and then I whispered softly to Percy "Percy, uuhm hi? Wait... Um what are you doing in San Francisco seaweed brain?"

I bit my lip, as Percy suddenly lead into my ear replying "hi yourself wisegirl... Didn't you hear me when I introduced myself in homeroom? Plus they have amazing beaches here wisegirl... Maybe you should take me to one... You need to show me around cause last time I was here I was too busy trying to save your life."

Something in me felt like it had caught fire at his words and I could not help the shiver that ran down my spine. I struggled to speak but my words flew out without being considered "of course I'll show you around seaweed brain, anywhere you like... Maybe after school?" as I finished I was nervous, extremely nervous that he would reject my offer, maybe he was just joking? I hoped to gods he wasn't...

I wanted to know where he has been and why hasn't he contacted me for 2 years and I might be able to squeeze some answers out of Percy...

I sneaked another glance at Percy, and saw a range of emotions coming and going to which he shook his head; looking to me with a fake smile "fantastic sounds great, I bet you know all the best places here wisegirl. Do you want to ride with me after school? I know where you live and you could drop your bag there and we'll go out."

I nodded quickly and turned away trying to hide the blush that roared up my cheeks, I always loved it when he commented me, and I knew it was silly but Percy meant a lot to me. But I couldn't help but wonder why he gave me a fake smile, I could always read him like a book but now it's difficult but I could tell it was fake.

The period ended too quickly for my taste.
I wanted to speak to Percy more, it's addictive speaking to him, it always was because he knew me inside and out and I didn't have to explain myself...

People begin to leave and I looked at Percy and saw him looking at his timetable with his eyebrows scrunched up, that's so cute I shook away the thought and grabbed his timetable and grinned "you shouldn't strain yourself seaweed brain, your brain can only take so much... Anyway you got gym next which I have to, just come with me okay?"

I gave him back the timetable, seeing him glare and roll his eyes at me "oh please wisegirl, I've grown up and my brain has too... I just don't know my way around here okay?" I couldn't help but giggle while replying "of course, of course no need to be defensive Percy" Percy groaned while I laughed and took his arm dragging him out of the classroom, receiving a glare from Kate and Ryan… Oh No, Gods no.. She isn't going to sink her claws in him.

Percy tugged his arm out of my grasp finally but shocked me by taking my hand instead and winked playfully "come on wisegirl, lead towards the gym oh wise one." I bit my lip, nodding towards the huge building while blushing crimson.
'What is with him and his emotions? He's giving me a whiplash…'

As we walked to the gym, I heard whispers of students passing by 'Look Annabeth got to him before Kate did' 'What's Ryan thinking about this?' 'They look cute together'... I saw Percy lean into me again with a questioning stare "what are they talking about wisegirl? Who is Kate? And what about Ryan..."

I looked down at my watch and noticed we were early so I decided to pull him in a hidden corner to explain, and told him "uuhm well you're like the new toy here seaweed brain, you know flashing a shiny thing in front of people and I guess you're the new gossip around here... Kate is well... Uuhm you know how in schools there are the girls who... I guess are the uuhm... Flirt with every guy in school? She was the blonde hair with the hot pink tank top sitting two seats away from me in homeroom... and I do not know what they mean about Ryan... Couldn't care less, really he's annoying."

Percy nodded but then shuddered with a grimace "please don't tell me Annabeth that the fake, excuse my language Whoreish Girl is after me? She's disgusting. Her hair is horrible! It is as if she tried to get your beautiful hair but failed in an ironing accident. Plus she has toooo much make-up."
I giggled at Percy leaning in closer to whisper "my beautiful hair seaweed brain? She's like an Aphrodite daughter gone wrong...Terribly wrong."

Percy burst out laughing leaning in to me with a smile that reached his eyes which had my heart pounding. Percy chuckled "ha-ha, Ahh wisegirl your so right about that one plus she kept winking at me... I thought she was having a fit or something because she winked like every 10 seconds!"

I grinned and buried my face into his chest, trying to get my breath back but I could not... Well because I inhaled through my nose and Percy's scent filled me and I couldn't help but cuddle closer while slowly sliding my arms around his neck "Percy..." mumbling into his chest.

I felt Percy suddenly stop laughing and panic filled me, hoping he won't push me away but rather pushing me away… He pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around my waist.

My heart was pounding wildly against my ribs and I felt embarrassed knowing he could feel it against his chest but I ignored that and nuzzled into his neck, drinking up the feelings that poured into me like it was the last time I will get a chance like this...

I didn't like that thought either. I felt Percy sigh and squeeze me softly, pulling away to look in my eyes, I reluctantly pulled away to see longing filling in Percy's eyes and I was sure I had the same look. "We should go inside Annabeth..."

I bit my lip, knowing tears were about to appear and I didn't want him to see how much I need him... I nodded pulling away and walking without him towards the door with my arms wrapped around myself, trying to hold in the feeling Percy's hug had brought me.

I heard footsteps and saw Percy was trying to catch to me with guilt in his eyes and I knew he understood how I felt right now, and I couldn't help but let him catch up, I needed him.

An arm slipped around my waist and I knew it was Percy, and so I relaxed and moulded into his side needing warmth as I felt cold inside and out.

We were inside the gym and most of the students were there and regrettably so was Kate and Ryan but to my relief so was Daniel and Cassie, while we walked over to Cassie and Daniel, I felt stares at Percy and I but I didn't mind much because Percy had tugged me closer into his side protectively.

It never ceases to amaze me on how protective and caring Percy is even though we haven't talked for 2 years… Does it mean that he still cares about me?

Cassie raised her eyebrows at me, and Daniel smiled happily at the both of us while Kate glared daggers at me and Ryan glared at Percy, Cassie glanced at Kate but back to me and suddenly grinned "sooo, you two... Normally Annabeth your here early.. Have a little detour with Percy hmmm?" everybody stared at Cassie while I couldn't help but blush at her statement, it was kind of true but not in the way she put it.

I was about to disagree but Percy beat me to it "nothing wrong with a little detour right wisegirl? Plus we aren't late and annabeth didn't mind the detour at all..." now everybody's eyes were on Percy while I hide my face into his chest; blushing 10 different shades of red...

Cassie giggled at Percy "well it must of been some detour to have Annabeth arrive later then us..." Percy snickered and then winked at Cassie "oh it was believe me... Annie's quite the imaginative person if you know what I mean."

Daniel burst into laughter along with Cassie and I quickly dragged Percy away from them and towards the stands; whispering harshly "what the Hades was that Percy? We… well we didn't have that kind of detour... so why are you telling them that?"

Percy rolled his eyes at me and crossed his arms over his chest and whispered "it could have been that kind of detour if you wanted to... And well I didn't like the way Ryan and Kate were acting. So to kill two birds with one stone, I got Ryan off your back so he will stop be possessive of you wisegirl and do you know how hard it is not to beat the Hades out of him when he acts like that Annabeth?"

Percy continued without being interrupted

"I am your boyfriend or ex-boyfriend or whatever we are and I still have feelings for you, you know. Give me a break Annabeth. And with Kate I was hopefully showing that you already got me and she shouldn't flirt with me... But if you want you can go over there and tell them I was joking around and tell Kate she can flirt with me and you can have Ryan." Percy ended snapping out bitterly; glaring at me with hurt in his eyes.

I immediately realised what he meant… 'Oh what is wrong with me?! How didn't I notice he was hurting? He doesn't know if we are together or not? Well... I've missed him, a lot and I know now that I didn't want Anybody being with him. I should show him that I still want to be with him right? Now how can I do that? Wait... A Kiss maybe?'

I hastily searched around and only seeing Kate and the group watching us. Okay time to... kiss Percy.

I turned back to Percy and quickly crushed my lips against his.

Oh My Gods... My eyes fell shut as I felt Percy respond to my kiss eagerly, I felt like I was on fire... Every inch of me was on fire and I loved it; I gasped and forced my hands into his hair, knotting my fingers and tugged him closer...

His lips were warm, soft, and salty, in a good way as he smelt like the ocean, I could feel the power in his lips as they nipped along my bottom lip, begging entrance that I gladly gave, and I felt like time stopped when I felt his tongue touch mine.

I heard yelling somewhere far away, but I didn't care... Percy was kissing me and that's all I cared about... After what seemed like eternity before I pulled away for air, I smiled brightly and opened my eyes to see his sea green eyes staring back but when I leaned in for another kiss I tugged away from Percy and I heard yelling from before, it was louder...

I looked around and noticed we were being stared at by the entire class and the gym coach whom was turning red from yelling. I looked back and saw it was Cassie holding me; trying to hide her grin... Realisation hit me full blast, I kissed Percy In front of Everybody... Not really kissed more like attacked, I looked to Percy quickly with wide eyes to see him with a knowing look and smug smile, he winked at me and I blushed but it was more like I transformed into a tomato..

Recovering from the kiss and being caught; I looked towards the coach with the most innocent and embarrassed look I could muster hoping I wasn't in trouble, or Percy... I saw the coach study Percy and then me sighed, crossing his arms and yelled out "Alright, Alright! Everybody take a seat on the stands now! And I will go through what's going to happen."

I sighed in relief while taking my seat In-between Cassie and Percy whom was chucking "dammmn wisegirl you know how catch an audience don't cha? And when you are influencing the teachers that you're an innocent girl... When I know you're not innocent at all..." his voice was husky in the end, which made my already pounding heart try to break out of my chest.

I bit my lip and noticed it tasted of Percy, I reddened and whispered back "uuhmshuush they all weren't looking when I went to kiss you... And of course seaweed brain how do you think I've lasted all these years with the teachers? And I'm not going to even comment on that last statement Perseus."

In the corner of my eye, I saw Percy give me a sultry smirk whispering, "hmmmh but you did like that statement didn't you? I can tell annabeth... You would think after nearly 6 years of knowing you, that you would understand that you're an open book to me wisegirl."

I sighed softly in defeat "alright, I know that but hush before we get in trouble, I don't think I'll be able to manage another get-out-of-trouble-free card again." Percy grinned and I felt his arm slowly slide around my waist, immediately I relaxed into his hold but suddenly I noticed Cassie wearing the biggest smirk clearly stating 'I heard every word you two said' to which I groaned...

This is going to be a long day.

Gym flew by with Percy sending me cheeky smiles, Cassie's amused grins, but the worse was Kate and Ryan's icy glares clearly shooting towards Percy and me.

With relief the bell rung signalling break time, everybody rushed out eagerly but suddenly I didn't want to go out and face everybody's questioning looks because I knew everyone in gym class will be spreading the fact that I kissed the new student right in front of everybody.

I changed slowly, walking out to see Percy standing with Cassie, Daniel laughing.
Curiosity got the better of me and I walked towards them with a nervous smile.
Percy spotted me and grinned brightly "Annabeth! What took you so long? Even I was out before you and that's saying something wisegirl." I shrugged "dunno have a lot on my mind…"

I saw Percy's bright grin lower down to a frown "are you alright Annabeth?" I could see worry sink into his eyes and I didn't like it, and I knew he would want the truth.

"Just thinking about how everybody will be looking at us because I kissed, well attacked you in front of everybody on your first day and I'm sure all the students know that I'm a prude and I don't act like Kate.

"And everybody seems to think, even you saw it in like an hour that Ryan thinks he has a claim on me... And after all that I know it shouldn't bother me but it does." Cassie and Daniel stared with wide eyes expecting me to just say I'm fine and move on but I looked to Percy who had his eyebrows scrunched together in his thinking look...

I do admit it was seriously adorable seeing that intense thinking look on his face. I heard him chuckle "is that all that is worrying you wisegirl?" I stared at him, giving him a look that he knows well…

The 'are you seriously just going to act like that' look

To which he smiled answering "yes I am going to act like this because firstly, everybody should go to hell because their thoughts and opinions don't matter Annabeth and you shouldn't worry about that and I know you will but relax.

"Secondly you are nine hundred out of one hundred percent a lot better than the blonde whore.. Rat was her name. Oh Kate... She's a nobody Annabeth and I thought with your amazing reading abilities you would be able to tell that she's bad news to hang around, plus your not a prude and I know it *wink*

"Thirdly Annabeth I'm a little disappointed in you, that you haven't kicked his ass to hell and back for even thinking he can control you and! That he thinks he can call you Annie! Seriously, I am sorry Annabeth but you have gone soft.

Lastly, has you even said or accepted a relationship with Ryan? I know you haven't because you wouldn't have kissed me and have the most guiltiest smile in homeroom. I know you inside and out... So does that stop your worrying?"

Cassie, Daniel and I stared at Percy in amazement before I burst out laughing "blonde...whor...e..hahah..you...called...her rat!" I couldn't help but fall on the ground holding my stomach laughing. Percy always knows how to cheer me up...

I tried to get up but I instantly fell back down giggling, I looked up to see Percy smiling lovingly at me and it made my heart skip. Slowly I calmed down Percy had lifted me up and held me securely against his chest, I smiled happily "you know just the right thing to say to me Perseus Jackson"

Percy smirked lightly "well like I said before, after knowing you for 6 years I think I might have got the hang of cheering you up... One way to cheer Annabeth Chase up: act like a total seaweed brain and make a completely wrong statement and wait for you to correct me and smile at me for having a brain filled of kelp." I could not help but smile that would burn as bright as Apollo's chariot.

The sound of aww'ing and snickering broke my trance, of well staring into Percy's amazing sea green eyes and I looked to see Cassie aww'ing and Daniel snickering, I couldn't help but glare daggers for making me look away from Percy.

Cassie yelped at my glare "hurry Percy say something stupid! Before her eyes, kill me! Literally!" I rolled my eyes and Percy chortled "let's go get some food aye?" he immediately tugged me outside with his arm wrapped snugly around my waist and I couldn't help but lace my fingers together with the hand that's wrapped around me and walked out the door.

As we walked to the open canteen area with picnic tables, I felt stares of pretty much everybody... I was sure of it, "Percy...everybody's staring." I muttered nervously,

I felt Percy's breath at my ear and I shivered as he whispered quietly so only I could hear "Just ignore them, remember when we walked through Olympus just after we won? And felt every stare of the gods? I remembered you held yourself high and proud and ignored the looks you got... Just pretend it's the same here... Their just jealous that they aren't holding you and I am. I'm one lucky guy."

And with those words I felt myself relax completely and I smiled warmly towards Percy and found an empty picnic table and sat down; pulling Percy behind me, and I leaned back into his chest knowing I haven't a care in the world that people are staring at Percy and I.

Cassie and Daniel sat across Percy and I.
Cassie and I were giggling and laughing at the horrible jokes Percy and Daniel had tried to make, but our little happy bubble was interrupted when I saw Kate and Ryan making their way over here. I whispered to Percy "Kate and Ryan are making their way over here to us… Clearly they want to talk to us about 'this thing' we have."

I felt Percy sigh and lean into my ear "ignore them; if they want to talk let them make fools of themselves... We are not moving from this spot and if they want to speak privately... Tell them they can snuff it." I nodded against his chest and gave Cassie the look that 'trouble is about to go down', and I tipped my head in the direction of Kate and Ryan. Cassie understood and snickered "oh get ready for the entertainment of your lifetime guys..."

I laughed and pressed myself closer to Percy as they arrived at the table.

It seemed like the whole area went quiet when Kate and Ryan were at the table, I looked up at them and waved lightly "hi there you two, where have you been?"

Kate answered in a sickly sweet voice, ignoring me and eyeing Percy "oh I'm sorry guys, we've been just chatting around, been to the library and back..." I raised an eyebrow and muttered. "I doubt you learnt anything..."

Kate heard and narrowed her eyes on me "excuse me Annie what did you say?"

'Here we go' I narrowed my eyes "don't call me Annie. And if you didn't hear me Kate, I said I doubt you learnt anything in the library."

Cassie and Daniel both look like they were going to burst to laughing, but I looked back at Kate and she was looking at Percy and smiled... "sooo Percy how are you liking the school so far? I can give you a tour around if you want? I'm sure annabeth is boring you to death about the architecture of the school... So why don't you come with me and have some fun?"

I gave Kate a 'are you serious look' and I felt Percy burst out laughing.

Percy replied to Kate "Oh I love the school… Some great students here and seriously 'Rat'. Wait sorry 'Kate' I forgot your name completely... Not very gentleman of me but I also would like you to remove yourself from my eyesight before I go completely blind and insane and you think Annabeth is boring?

"Wow how high is your IQ? Were you dropped as a baby? Let me think... On one hand a seriously beautiful girl with such intelligence that she beats the teachers and with the most amazing personality and I love her knowledge of architecture because it's her passion and she has so much more about her.
"And on the other hand is a pathetic excuse of a girl that thinks she's beautiful, but isn't and is cruel and proud of whoring herself around the whole student body and thinks she's better everybody else while everybody thinks she needs her hair to be treated with some serious products or just shave it off and get a new personality along with a new wardrobe and stop selling herself out... Hmm I think I've rather Annabeth thank you. I've known her longer than anybody here. So back the fuck off and save yourself any more embarrassment and leave."

'wow... That was well. Go Percy..' I know I shouldn't but I laughed.. Loud. "hahahh.. You called her...rat...Kate...oh..my..hahahh...gods...you...o wned...her!"

Percy kept his eyes murderous on Kate whom had tears flooding her face and then Percy switched his attention on Ryan... 'it's Ryan's time now and I cant wait…'

I felt Percy take a deep breath and sighed angrily "now now, Ryan... You don't know how tempted I am to smash your face into the ground and then hear you begging for me to stop... I don't know what is in your sick mind but Annabeth Chase is not yours. Nor will she ever be. You think you have a claim on her since what? 2 years? I might not know what we are right now, together or not… But I think you deserve a lesson for that year you thought my girlfriend was yours."

Everybody gasped in surprise except for me; I couldn't help but grin and join in "oh please you really think I would kiss a complete stranger that just started at this school? How thick can you get! Percy is my boyfriend! The one I told you about Ryan, ever since you started flirting with me. You thought I was joking? Proves how pathetic you both are... You know what? Ryan and Kate make a great couple! Two selfish pigs together..."

Ryan raised his eyebrows "wow, aren't you a slut Annie... First you flirted back at me, don't deny it was one-sided, plus what has this noobie got what I don't? you know want me."

"Shit.. You shouldn't of said that, oh well…" I muttered

Ryan rolled his eyes "oh why not Annie? You're going to slap me?"

I looked up at Ryan and answered "no, I'm not but Percy is going to do much more than a slap…"

I felt Percy move me off him launched onto Ryan...

I shook my head "and I'd truly rather watch you get ripped to threads by Percy." I watched as Percy grab Ryan by the throat and lift him up and shoved him against the picnic table shelf pillar and pulled him back and smashed his head against it again and I saw Percy let his anger out on Ryan...

I heard screaming and I looked around and saw people trying to get Percy off Ryan, not even the five teachers can get Percy to stop. "STOP STOP STOP! YOUR KILLING HIM PERSEUS STOP!" teachers screamed at Percy to stop, but it didn't work...

I sighed softy and saw Ryan has had enough for now and walked towards Percy, the teachers tried to keep me away, but I got in and touched the small of Percy's back and whispered into his ear "enough Percy..."

I wrapped my arms around him, pulled him away, away from them, away from everyone, and lead him straight to the gym showers…

I turned on the showers with the hopes to calm Percy down with the water.
I look at Percy as he sat on the floor on the showers with arms folded on his knees and his head resting on his arms... "Percy it's okay... Seaweed brain... It's okay.." I touched his elbow softy, I hear a sad sigh, and it made my heart break...

I ignored the warm water and sat next to him; wrapping my arms around him tightly whispering encouragements that I hoped made him feel better, but I heard him speak and listened to his broken voice say "don't...go...an...Anywhere...wisegirl...stay...wi th...Me." I felt his arms flung around me and I didn't want to be anywhere else ever... "I'm not going anywhere any time soon seaweed brain..."
