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..."

Annabeth POV

Hearing the bell for the end of break time I knew I needed to get Percy moving,
but something inside me wasn't sure if it was a good idea to move yet, but it worried me that Percy needed to see the principal for attacking Ryan...

But I knew he didn't care less for what happen.

I sighed sadly "seaweed brain we need to start moving... We can't get to even more trouble okay?"
I felt Percy's arms loosen and rise up to stop the shower, and
then I felt him relax in my arms with a heavy sigh "I know... What subject now? It's period 3 right?"

Suddenly I felt Percy lift both of us up and water that has been soaked through our clothes fell off like a sheet, and we were dry to the bone.
At least I don't have to worry about changing clothes
, I Thought.

I looked at Percy with an uneasy smile; while grabbing his hand "yeah, it's period three. Come on we have mythology now, but you should go the principal... And try to get yourself out of trouble okay?"

Percy chuckled and began tugging me along with him towards outside back into school; I cannot help but be worried about Percy,

because I know it might seem fine between us but there still is the fact he's been missing from my life for two years and I can't help but wonder what has made him like this? Percy is more serious about what he says and thinks and also the fact that his mood swings are definitely not Percy.

I shook those thoughts out of my head and concentrated on how I could get Percy out of trouble or not let him get expelled. "You'll go grey with all that thinking wisegirl." I looked up to see Percy giving me a curious smile.

He's probably wondering what I'm thinking about… I smiled back muttering "I'm just trying to find out a way to keep you in school and a way where you don't get punished that much that you might leave the school and I won't get time with you in school because you would be expelled…"

Percy rose his eyebrows at me "is that all Annabeth? Stop worrying about it, I will find a way and plus Ryan deserved it. And I didn't know you would miss me as much wisegirl..." I stop walking and stared at him. I was suddenly very angry at him, 'how could he think that I wouldn't miss him?!'

I glared at Percy "do you really think that I'm that shallow about my feelings for you Percy?"

Percy sighed in annoyance "well I don't exactly know your feelings for me Annabeth... Remember I've be gone for two years, so I don't know how you feel about me. So cut me some slack." Finally! He notices that he has been gone! I rolled my eyes at Percy and answered "Oh I know you've been gone for two years Perseus Jackson! Because for two years, there has been a hole in my heart from where you ripped it out when you left! And my feelings for you have never changed, so don't you dare try and make me the bad guy in this!"

Great.. Here come the tears.. I tried to ignore the feeling of heartache and the wetness upon my cheeks.. I can't let this get to me.. I can't let him see what he does to me.. I quickly turned away from him and rushed away towards my next class, knowing for once that he will not be in it…

Percy POV (AN: I KNOW Asdfghjkl; it's happening)

I just let her go… and I didn't say anything, why didn't I? But then again she's better off without me, someone who isn't damaged like I am now. She needs the Percy from two years ago and not this empty shell. But I can't change the past or what's happened.. I'm useless and Annabeth deserves better.

I sighed bitterly and looked up at the school and started my way towards the principals office.

I arrived at the office and took a deep breath and knocked, okay you've done this a million times Percy, so it's just like every other time… but then I had my mom and Paul them other times... "Come in" said a gruff voice, and with that I opened the door and closed the door to look up and see the principal with Ryan, well a bloody Ryan with his parents. Yay me…

I nodded towards the parents and the principal while sitting in the remaining seat. The principal coughed to get everybody's attention and started... "Alright, everybody is here. Now let's talk about what happened and see if can get this resolved"

Ryan's mom interrupted, while glaring at me "what are you talking about? Not everybody is here! Where are the boy's parents? I want to look into the eyes of the boy's mother, to tell her that her son nearly killed my son!" I flinched and looked away at the thought of my mom...

Thankfully the principal answered instead of me.. "Mrs Meyers, enough everybody is here. Mr Jackson regretfully so is a double-orphan, who doesn't have any parents or any relatives or any guardians for that matter. You are both called here today because your son started bullying Percy and Annabeth as I recall from several witnesses."

I saw Ryan and his parents look towards me with shock faces, but Mrs Meyers seems to be on a roll today, answering back at the principal "my son started this? Bullying this boy and Annabeth? I know Annabeth and her parents! We are next-door neighbours and I know for a fact that Annabeth is friends with Ryan, and so that must mean your 'witnesses' are lying."

I laughed at them and I couldn't help but interrupt "Annabeth friends with Ryan? You've got to be joking. She only tolerates him because he's 'her next-door neighbour' as you say and let me tell you, I know for a fact that she hates Ryan."

Everybody looked towards me and I just shrugged 'it's true though.' Mrs Meyers raised an eyebrow at me "and how would you know this? Your just a new student at this school." I couldn't help but snap back at her "I've known Annabeth a lot longer than any of you and I've been her boyfriend for two years now and your son was harassing her so she would be his girlfriend for those two years and onwards... plus he has a disgusting personality…"

Mrs Meyers gasped and looked to her son "have you been bullying and harassing Annabeth, just so she can be with you?!" Ryan glared at me "thanks a lot orphan" I couldn't help but laugh as Ryan's father back-handed Ryan across the back of his head. I added in hoping that Ryan will be punished more "he also called Annabeth a slut, and we all know Annabeth is far from it."

The principal coughed to get attention again "Alright, alright! We all know my 'witnesses' are correct. And I've checked with the nurse and know there was no serious damage but only a black eye and two broken teeth. In which this means Percy will be getting two weeks detention starting tomorrow and you're lucky your son doesn't get punished for bullying and harassing one of my students.. Mr and Mrs Meyers we are done here, so you can take home your son if you wish and Percy please stay back so I can arrange the detention and other matters."

Mr Meyers shook the principal's hand and looked to his son and said "you're not going home, just go to the nurses and get an icepack. It's only a bruise and a few missing teeth. Toughen up I've gotten worse in my youth."

After that Mr Meyers walked outside the office waiting, and Mrs Meyers looked at me apologetically and put her arm around Ryan and left the room…

I sighed and looked back towards the principal "let me guess its tomorrow at 4pm waiting outside your office so you can tell me what I will be doing for that afternoon right? I mean it's not like I have someone waiting for me... So I'm all yours in the afternoon." I was hoping that he didn't anymore to say but I guessed wrong.

The principal heave a sigh and studied me before replying "Yes that is the drill Percy, everyday like that until two weeks have pass. You will be doing a range of things from cleaning to helping the office lady organise or whatever she wishes. And you know I let you off easy Percy. And it's because your step father Paul Blofis was a great friend to me and what happened was awful. I know its difficult Percy but try and control yourself next time because Mr Meyers is a difficult lady to handle…"

I stared at the principal and smiled faintly "I know, I know and thank you for you know... Helping me Richard.. It's just hard to keep it in check all the time and Ryan really got to me. And Mrs Meyer certainly is difficult. I can go now right?"

The principal chuckled "it's quite alright Percy and its Mr Forbes here okay and I believe it is lunch time, I'll explain to your teachers where you have been, so go have something to eat alright?"

I grinned at Mr Forbes and gave him the two finger salute and left to go the canteen because I got some serious munches...

Annabeth POV (No more Percy Pov right now.. Sad Face.)

Finally! The bell rung to end period 4 and signalling for lunch and that made me happy because I couldn't stand anymore of Mr Marion talking about how emotional and expressive William Shakespeare was in his writing and the fact that I was really hungry.

I was walking with Cassie and Daniel toward the canteen to get in line for the specials of hotdogs, I mean like 3 dollars for a hotdog, now that's some magic there right? But the stupid part of me checked up the line and I saw Percy waiting in line. Wow he didn't get expelled or suspended… lucky him.

I tried my best to ignore him and get my precious hotdog and chocolate milk but I saw him just walk off to an empty picnic table and sat down. I looked away and got my food quickly and waiting on the side for Cassie and Daniel but I was interrupted by an asshole called Ryan.

"You know that asshole orphan was lucky he didn't get suspended or expelled you know for giving me a black eye and two teeth and why in the hell would you like that orphan huh?" Ryan questioned me and I looked at him confused.. Why does he keep calling Percy an orphan? I rose my eyebrow at him replied "Everybody knows you deserve it Ryan.. And you got off easy from Percy and why do you keep calling him an Orphan?!"

Ryan rolled his eyes; answering me "I don't really care and I wasn't prepared when he attacked me and I'm calling him an orphan because he is one Annie, he has no family the principal said and I quote 'Mr Jackson regretfully so is a double orphan, who doesn't have any relatives or any guardians' and thus means he's an orphan.. Maybe his parents just didn't want him.. Or may-"

I didn't hear the rest because I was already full out running towards Percy. Ryan is lying.. it can't be true. It isn't.. Sally and Paul can't be dead…

I stopped next to Percy and placed my squished food on the table and grabbed Percy's shoulder and forced him to face. Percy looked up at me with raised eyebrows and a confused face "what's wrong Annabeth?"

It flew out of my mouth quickly before I even registered "Ryan says your parents are dead. Sally and Paul… there dead... Percy please tell me he's lying please! They can't be dead! How? When? Percy answer me!"

Percy grimace and looked away and muttered sadly "you wanted a reason for why I was away for two years… and now you got your answer, their dead. Both of them dead for two years now. There with Charles and Silena now Annabeth. So get over it... there dead, so what."

No...

I fell on the seat next to Percy as if all the strength left me; with tears flowing freely and I couldn't stop myself as I buried my face into Percy's neck and throwing my arms around his shoulders and didn't stop the uncontrollable sobs and cries that left me. I couldn't... there dead… for two years.

The only thing I felt was Percy's arms wrapping around me and pulling me into his lap and his voice softly humming a lullaby in my ear to comfort me…

I felt numb.
