Hello, I'm back with a new chapter of The science experiment, warning: Major Percabeth in this chapter finally. Anyway you have been warned! Enjoy dedications to everyone that has reviewed so far at the bottom it means the world to me that people review. Thanks!

Annabeth's pov:

I drove through the terrifying neighbourhood where Percy lived. My head was silently telling me to find another way through but that would just make me late. And well hurt my pride. A scary looking neighbourhood was not getting the better of me.

I kept my calm mostly the way there thanks to my loud music blaring out of the speakers and of course my ability to lock car doors.

I soon got to Percy's apartment building, so I turned the music down and unlocked the car doors.

Percy immediately got in looking worried which was understandable considering Percy was nervous around pretty much any human being except hopefully me and his mum.

"Hey you ok?" He nodded and I started to drive.

What was wrong with him?

I learned this past week not to question him much it could trigger something after all he's been through.

I pulled up outside the movie theatre and unclipped my belt. Percy did nothing except stare into the distance. Okay now I needed to question him, I thought.

"Percy what's wrong I know there's something."

"Annabeth we're two different people we may have both been through pain but something does not compute how can a popular beautiful girl like you want to be friends with an outcast weird mentally unstable boy like me? Something just doesn't add right here. This past week has been undoubtedly the best week of my life. I guess I'm not used to it. It's too risky whereas my old life wasn't I could do what I and not have to worry because there was no one there to help I had myself and that's all I needed, until you showed up, an..."

He suddenly stopped talking because I Annabeth Chase kissed him, no not on the mouth or anything just simply on his cheek, how I knew it would shut him up I had no idea but it did.

"Percy if you think I'm going to abandon you then you are totally wrong. I might be popular but I'm not beautiful. You may think we're polar opposites but we're not. You and I know that life can do terrible things but that's life. I care Percy, I care about you and seeing you like this is breaking my heart. You're not mentally unstable you're the most down to earth person I have ever met. I'm lucky just to have even had the chance to look at you." I said almost with a tear running down my cheek. Percy really was something special I wasn't about to0 let him fall through my fingers just like that.

I reached over and put my hand over his hand, he was trembling.

He looked up and I caught his eyes green on grey, they locked into place and for a moment nothing else mattered to me.

It was an idiotic move what I did next and I regretted it, I moved in closer and I think he did as well; we were inches apart when...

"Hey what are you too doing get out here." We bounced back and as I fumbled to open my door Percy caught my gaze once again and whispered in a soft tone 'I care'.

I smiled softly blushing and made my way over to Thalia seeing Percy had really hit it off with Leo, turns out they both like the book series Peter Johnson.

Thalia saw me still with a faint blush on my cheeks. She raised her eyebrow at me and instead of answering her I muttered 'I'm cold' and we all shuffled inside.

We all paid for the tickets and took our seats, Percy sat down on my left and Thalia on my right who smirked at me as I took my seat.

The movie was okay not really my thing, as it was romantic I would have preferred something that was more action like.

About half way through the movie Percy didn't seem to be enjoying it either, he had fallen asleep and I was the unfortunate soul who was used as a pillow.

At about three quarters of the way through the movie just got too predictable they were going to get married and have a kid. Woo how unpredictable.

Finally the movie had finished and everyone left because they had all made up some stupid excuse I knew what they were doing and it wasn't going to work Percy and I don't like each other like that.

Huh you just keep telling yourself that Annabeth,

Really there's even a voice in my head telling me I'm deluded great another weird thing to add onto my CV has a weird voice in my head telling me what I think... Okay that doesn't even make sense but you get the point.

Percy's head was surprisingly heavy and it took all my upper body strength to get it off my shoulder, and when I finally did my wrist bent back and Percy's head flopped back down.

How could he still not have woken up?

After a few minutes I finally got his head off my shoulder and resting onto the back of his chair.

I slapped him not to hard but not too gentle either. It woke him and he groaned.

I sighed in relief.

"Next time use Leo as a pillow my shoulder hurts."

He laughed at me as I stood up. I rolled my eyes and accidently tripped over Percy's legs who was still sitting down. I fell right on his lap. Ugh my life is so cliché at the moment.

I clung to his arm as he smirked at me, he must have had fun day today because he smirked at me which he never does he doesn't even normally smile.

I just looked at him with a glare in my eyes. He just laughed again and pulled me in for a bear hug, which was surprising. He whispered a thank you and I just pulled him closer. I detangled myself from him and heaved him up.

We got buckled up in the car and I asked him,

"Do you want to go get something to eat?" He nodded eagerly and smiled at me.

I smiled too as I drove to a cue little diner not too far from the theatre.

I parked up in a space and we walked in.

"Hey, I'm Drew and I'll be your waitress today." She said staring at Percy.

"Can I get you any drinks?" She said in a flirtatious tone.

"Yep can I get a diet coke?" I said as the girl wrote it down.

"What about you handsome?" I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Er can I get the same please?" Percy said in a confused tone.

"Okay I'll be back soon with your drinks and to take your order." The waitress said whilst winking at Percy.

Percy was oblivious to her flirting, so I decided it was time to tell him.

"Percy you do realize that she was flirting with you right?" I asked him with my eyebrows raised.

"Of course I do Wise Girl I'm not that stupid I just wanted to see how jealous you would get." I looked at him shocked and kicked him under the table.

"What? I am not jealous I couldn't care less." I said throwing my hands up.

"Okay whatever you say Wise Girl." He scoffed at me.

She soon came back with our drinks and I glared at her, she noticed and as she put my drink down she accidently spilt it all over me.

I quickly shot up and made my way to the bathroom, what I didn't know was that a certain somebody followed me into the bathroom.

"Seaweed Brain what are you doing in here this is the girls bathroom, get out." I said aggressively.

Percy came up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders and began to massage them surprisingly, I sighed and continued to dry my top.

Percy saw I was mad that was my top was wet so he gave me his jacket, he wrapped it around me and I said thank you.

I realised Percy only had a grey t-shirt on, I could see from the mirror in front.

I turned around so I could see Percy with my own eyes and not just in the mirror. I scanned his arms and Percy saw me looking at them and said,

"Checking me out Chase?" I laughed a little at his question but instead I kept scanning his arms until I found it...

The scar.

"Percy I saw this the day of the fire I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now seeing it again why Percy when did you do this?" He gulped and then picked me up and sat me on the top next to the sink.

"When I was 14 or 15 I used to cut, I have little ones all over my body but this one's different when I did it, I thought I deserved it, I was exactly what it says, alone."

"I've been clean for two years now I never even thought about it; I was in a dark place when I did it, looking back on it now I was stupid."

"You have me, and you were not stupid you were confused, I attempted to cut once you know tears were rolling down my face as I stood in front of the bathroom mirror with a razor held against my arm, if Malcolm hadn't have found me I don't know what would have happened to me."

I nearly cried again then but there was something about Percy that made me feel safe and strong.

He pulled me into a hug and I swear to all the gods he kissed my head.

Percy guided me out of the bathroom and back out onto our table where this other lady cleared up Drew's mess.

"I' am so sorry about Drew I'll give you your meals for free, and I'll get you a new drink." I smiled at the lady as Percy said thank you to her.

We sat back down and waited a short while for my new drink and for the lady to take our orders.

The food came quite quickly and we ate in a record time because it was so good and we were both so hungry.

Percy's arm didn't leave my shoulders, as we walked back to the car.

We struck up a conversation in the car, it was fun. Until my phone buzzed, I asked Percy to read it out to me it was from my dad.

'Hello Annabeth your step mother and I have taken Bobby and Matthew on holiday for 3 weeks there is money in the kitchen to last you and we will see you when we get back, love dad xxx'

I heard Percy's voice drop as he read it out to me.

"So do you want a three week sleepover at my house?"

He just smiled and I drove over to his apartment so he could pick up some clothes and stuff and leave his mum a note.

He wasn't long and he didn't seem to bring a lot but Percy's Percy he knows what he's doing, well most of the time.

We pulled up outside my house and Percy followed me through the front door and said,

"Whoa your house is actually really nice considering last time I saw it I was crawling though a bathroom window." I laughed and grabbed his hand as we ran up the stairs to my room.

"Annabeth after knowing you more today I think I was definitely wrong about you before, now in can tell you're a beautiful, kind, awesome person and I think you doubt yourself too much." We both laughed and I said back to him,

"And the way I judged you was really harsh and I regret everything I thought about you, because now I know that you're a handsome, friendly, amazing person that doesn't realize that you're actually too loyal for your own good." We both laughed a lot and accidently fell on my bed.

Once again green and grey locked and moved forward.

We were both smiling as he put his arms around my waist and I put my arms around his neck.

My mouth moved in sync with his. The kiss wasn't very long but it was enough to get the message across.

When we stopped we put our foreheads against each other's and Percy whispered,

"Annabeth Chase, will you be my girlfriend?"

I whispered a quick yes and pulled him closer to me.

These were going to be the best three weeks ever I thought as Percy and I kissed or not the last time that day.

There we go, Percabeth are official, I hope you all enjoyed it and I'll see you next week for the next chapter. Anyway here are the dedications:
