Percy

I hate planes. I hate them so much. I hate that headache you get when the plan is flying up. I hate sleeping even though it looks like it is early morning outside. I don't even really know what day is it today? December 30th? Or is it January yet? I hate the crappy food that those stewardesses serve. I also hate the cramped bathrooms. I feel like suffocating.

To make my ride even better, Grover wouldn't stop bothering me. He kept poking me every time I'm about to fall asleep.

'Hey, hey, hey, hey," he said, adding a poke every time he says "hey".

"WHAT?"

"I'm bored.."

If it weren't for the flight attendant already looking at me cautiously, I would've strangled him right there and then.

"Please leave me alone," I said, shutting my eyes and trying to ignore that buzzing headache that's been killing me for the past four hours. "Aplá skatá óti i aerosynodós pou koitázei epímona se mas (Just fuck that stewardess that's staring at us.)"

"Uh, I think she's checking you out," he said, poking me again when he said "you". "Besides, I already have Juniper waiting for me back home."

"What? You're seriously not gonna cheat on her? You're actually gonna stay committed to one person for once?" I asked, genuinely surprised. Grover's practically allergic to the word "committment".

"Yeah, I really care about her. Next to you, she's my best friend," he said seriously. Then, his mouth turned into a mischievous grin. "But last I checked you're single. Why don't you go after her, take your mind off of the plane ride and maybe a certain blonde?"

I began drumming my fingers on my chair and kept glancing around the plane to keep myself distracted. I really just wanted to curse him out in Greek and tell him to leave me alone, but the look on his face told me that if I back out of this challenge, he'll probably make me apologize to Annabeth. He also knows that I can never resist a challenge. I rarely learn from my mistakes.

Silently, I got up from my chair and walked towards the flight attendant. As I slide past her, I slipped a note down the pocket of her apron. It said, "Got a room where we can be alone?" I headed to the bathroom and just stood there for a good three minutes. Ever since I told Annabeth about the bet, I never saw her again. Even when I never asked, Juniper still told me how she was doing. She told me about how there were bags under her eyes and she was almost completely shunned from the kids at school. Only Katie, Travis, Malcolm, and Silena stayed with her. Luke began going from girl to girl, but Annabeth looked as if she didn't care.

A few weeks after the shooting incident, Mr. Brunner came to visit me. He asked me if I wanted to continue my high school education. I told him that I wasn't sure, that I have to leave the state as soon as Grover and I feel better. He said that he understood, but he still asked if I wanted to graduate high school. I admitted that I did, but I didn't want to bother transferring to another high school. We ended up talking more and he helped me earn my high school diploma as long as I was willing to work hard. He helped me buy tickets to L.A and told me to look for his friend, Zeus Grace. He said that he'll help me find some professor that'll be willing to help me get my high school diploma for a reasonable price.

When I left the bathroom, the stewardess brushed past me, sliding a note into my hand. I read it and it said, "Meet me in the back galley in fifteen minutes. I know a place ;)."

Instead of smiling to myself as I'd usually do, I slip the note in my pocket and walk back to Grover.

"So?"

"What?"

"Did you go for it?"

"Does it matter?"

"So you did?"

"Yeah..."

In fifteen minutes, I'm holding hands with the brown-haired, green-eyed stewardess named Darlene. My pulse is racing a little, but not from lust. Instead, I feel hesitant to follow her. She leads me further inside until we approach a door. It's only a closet, but it'll have to do.

Once we're inside. I find myself kissing her and feeling up her body. She feels soft and curvy, but I didn't have the urge to go further. She moves my hands down the edge of her skirt, but I pull away.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Um, plane sickness," I lied.

The truth is that this didn't feel right. Some part of me knows that I should be doing this to one person and only that person. Suddenly, I realized that I miss her blonde hair, her beautiful grey eyes, her sweet voice, her melodious laugh, her soft lips. I miss Annabeth.

I walk out of the closet and head straight to my seat. When Grover tries talking to me, I ignore him, no matter what he does. I end up thinking more and more about Annabeth. This might sound really cliché and stupid, but I miss her so much that my heart is starting to ache. It took me this long to realize that I love her and telling her that our relationship was a lie was the biggest mistake I ever made.

Annabeth

It's May 1st. It's been exactly five months since Percy and Grover left New York. I can't help but stay up at night, wondering if he's okay, if he still thinks about me or if he already forgot about me. I slightly envy Juniper because she's still dating Grover. Even if it's a long-distance relationship, at least she still gets to talk to him. I wish I could call Percy, just to hear his voice again.

When I opened my locker this morning, there were two things inside that weren't mine. One was a bandana, the exact same green and black Half-Blood bandana that Percy used to wear. Another was a copy of the Iliad. I opened the cover and a note written in his handwriting was scribbled in blue ink on the inside cover, but it was written in Latin. If it was in Greek, I could've read it easily, but I have trouble Latin. He left me with even more questions than answers. Looks like I'm going to be having insomnia for the rest of the month.

I didn't realize that I was crying until I felt something salty against my lips. I wiped my cheek and found that it was wet and damp. I felt my throat tighten and eventually, more tears started to fall and I began to sob quietly. Why do I feel this way? Why do I still think about him even though he left me here telling me that all of our memories were a lie?

When I felt a hand on my shoulder, I quickly wiped away the tears and tried to stop hiccupping. I turned to see Katie giving me a sad, sympathetic look.

"I know you miss him. You don't need to hide it from me."

"I know, but everyone else won't understand."

"Then, ignore them. Everybody else is a bunch of cold-hearted bastards that don't know what it feels like to fall in love."

I gave her a small smile. "Thanks."

"You shouldn't encourage her, Katie. She should learn that she needs to get over that bastard," a too familiar voice spoke behind us. I sighed and turned to face those blue eyes.

"Luke, leave me alone," I said bitterly.

"Get over him, Annabeth," he said, completely ignoring what I just said. " You're too smart to be acting like this. You should know better than to keep hanging on to someone who just left you as if you were a piece of garbage."

"Why? So I can go out with you again? The only bastard that I know is you," I spat at him.

"Just leave her alone," Katie backed me up. "She never did anything to you."

"I'm just saying that she made a big mistake in picking Jackson over me. Besides, I'm over you, Annabeth. I found someone else."

"Oh yeah? Who would be stupid enough to go out with you?"

"Silena."

"Yeah right," I snorted. "Why would she go for a whore like you?"

Just as I finished talking, the clicking sound of heels grabbed our attention. As the sounds got louder, a figure turned a corner and Silena started walking towards us. Luke's lips curled into a smirk.

"Don't believe me? Watch," he said, grabbing Silena by her waist and pulling her into a kiss. My eyebrows raised up. What's he expecting from this? Does he think that I give a shit? Katie rolled her eyes and looked at me with a "You've got to be kidding me" look.

To our surprise, instead of kissing him back passionately, she pulled away and slapped his face so hard that the sound echoed throughout the hallway.

"Ow! What the fuck was that for?" he yelled, caressing his red cheek.

"You man-whore!" she yelled. "Only bastards like you grab girls and kiss them as if they're dating. Don't ever touch me again!"

She walked up to me and shook her head. "I honestly can't believe I thought you and him were a cute couple. Percy was so much better for you"

"You can't be serious," Luke interrupted us. "Jackson was just an accident waiting to happen. He totally ruined her."

"Just shut your big fat mouth, Luke Castellan, instead of kissing girls with it," Silena snapped at him.

"Whatever," he mumbled, walking straight through crowds of amused students.

"Thanks a lot. Both of you," I said to Silena and Katie. They both smiled.

"Don't mention it. Luke's been an ass since you dumped him anyway," Katie said.

The bell rang, signaling that we should head to first period class.

"Talk to you later," Silena said, hugging both of us before walking down the hallway.

"Some morning," I muttered to Katie as we began walking to class.

"Yeah. Goode hasn't been the same since you and Percy got together," she replied.

I nodded slowly, my thoughts drifting off to Percy again. Katie noticed my quiet expression and she patted my shoulder.

"I know you love him. And I know that he loves you too."

"I would've believed that before. But now... I don't know."

"Well, I still believe he does," she admitted honestly. "Even if he did start paying you attention because of a bet, I think his feelings eventually changed. I think that towards the end, he ended up falling in love with you. He's just too scared to admit it."

"You know, we never even said it. We never told each other that we love each other," I admitted. "I guess we were both scared."

But I know now why I keep thinking about him, why my feeling for him never faded or changed. I now know why my heart would flutter every time I hear his name or every time I see something that reminds me of him. I know now that it's all because I love him.
