Hello my little readers! Sorry I haven't been writing in the last few weeks. Christmas and everything has been crazy. I've just gotten back in the grove of having a schedule to keep now that I'm back in school. You guys probably want to read, yeah? Let's get to it then!

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Percy Jackson (PJO or HoO)

Annabeth's POV

The silence hangs over Percy and I like the storm clouds that I see through the window. I didn't think it would be this awkward. I focus on the clouds that resemble my eyes.

"It's going to rain." I mutter to myself.

"What was that?" Percy asks, smiling. I see him looking at out of the corner of his eye.

"N-nothing." I whisper, turning back to my window. I hear Percy sigh, but don't question it.

I feel the car go to a stop, when we pull into the library parking lot.

"Here we are." Percy grinned, as he stepped out of the car. He walked to my side and opened my door.

"Thank you." I say, quietly, giving Percy a small smile. I don't look at him directly in the eye; instead I look at my hands.

"No problem, Annabeth. Now on to the library! The joy of learning waits for us." He says the last part in monotone. I couldn't help but giggle, despite myself. Percy smiles a bright goofy smile, that makes my cheeks burn. I clear my throat, softly.

"Um…yeah…to the library." I say, just loud enough for Percy to hear.

"Alright." He offers his arm, bending it so his elbow was closest to me. I have an internal conflict on whether to take it. In the end, I wrap my left hand around his elbow. He smiles as I allow him to lead me to the library.

This will certainly be interesting.

Cordillia's POV

"No Connor. Poseidon created horses so he could win favor of the city-"

"This is boring…" Connor cuts me off, dragging out the 'ing'. He flips over so he sits upside down on the couch.

"It may be boring," I say, shifting so I'm in the same position as him, "but it's part of our grade."

"But it's not due for another three weeks and its Friday! We have all weekend!" Connor whines. I chuckle.

"Okay, okay. We'll work on it tomorrow. What do you want to do in the mean time?" Connor grins evilly.

"I still need payback for that piggy back ride I was forced to give you."

"Oh no…no, no, no…Connor let's think this through." I say, getting up and backing away from him slowly. He grins evilly.

"You better run~." He teases. I yelp and scramble away. I hear Connor's laugh as he chases after me. His laugh makes my heart skip a beat. I admit I like Connor, but there's no way, on earth, that Connor would like me. Or any guy for that matter. I keep it to myself. Annabeth is the only who knows. Not even Thalia knows.

"Connor! Stop!" I giggle.

"Not until I get you!" he taunts. After a few minutes, he catches up to me and wraps his arms around my waist from behind. He spins me, making me laugh. He suddenly trips, making us both fall with Connor on top. He catches my head, making sure I don't get hurt.

"Are you okay?" his eyes are wide with concern. I gulp and nod. He lets out a sigh of relief. My heart speeds up, my face burns.

I unconsciously lean forward biting my lip. His eyes widen, but soon go half lidded. When we're about a centimeter apart, his crystal blue eyes dart from my lips to meet my eyes repeatedly. I wrap my arms around his neck and close the space between our lips.

At first, the kiss is gentle and sweet, but soon it becomes passionate. I pull Connor closer to where our bodies are pressed against each other. A small moan comes from Connor. My face heats up.

We both sit up, still kissing. I straddle his waist, and press against him. His hands go to the small of my back, bringing me closer.

This goes on a few more minutes and we part, panting.

We stare at each other, stunned at what just happened. I have a weird feeling in my chest.

"U-um…" I stutter.

Percy's POV

"Can you read the assignment? I didn't get to write it down…" I say sheepishly. Annabeth clears her throat slightly.

"'Create a fictional story of at least one chapter with your own characters, plot, and setting.'" She recites from a red notebook. There are drawings of different band logos and book quotes on the cover, all drawn in black pen. She holds it gingerly, almost as if her life depended on it.

"Thanks." I beam. She mumbles a 'you're welcome' and looks down.

Remember how I was talking about this kind of thing earlier. Annabeth not even looking at my face, and yet, we have to do an entire project together, writing a book no less. Well maybe not a whole book, but you get the idea.

"Um…w-what do y-you want to write about?" Annabeth stammers.

"Uh…I'm not very good at writing. To tell you the truth, I'm barely managing a 'C' in my step-dad's class…" I laugh nervously.

"That's right." She says to herself, then looks up, addressing me, "Mr. Blofis is your step-dad isn't he?" I nod, smiling. She returns a small, warm smile.

"So…about the story…" I raise an eyebrow.

"Why don't we just brain storm for now? It isn't due for three weeks anyway so…"

"Okay…"

So far…absolutely nothing.

I look to Annabeth, to see her scribbling in her notebook. Sometimes looking appalled and crossing it out quickly.

"Got anything?" I ask, warily. She looks up quickly, and tilts her head slightly.

"Huh?" I point to her notebook.

"You've been writing in that book for a while. You have an idea?" I she visibly cringes.

"N-no" she confesses.

"Then what-"

"Listen, I've got to go," she cuts me off, "Let's continue, say Monday. Okay?" I nod

"Okay…" I say, sad she has to go. She stands, but trips on her chair, causing loose papers to fall from her red notebook. My eyes widen at the site.

'Dear Guide to the Truth,

How do I…' 'When do you…?' 'What is…?' 'How do you know…?'

'Dear Guide to the Truth.' 'Hey, Guide to the Truth' 'Help me Guide to the Truth!'

Guide to the Truth, Guide to the Truth, Guide to the Truth.

"Y-you…you are…" I point to Annabeth, then to the papers on the floor. "You're Guide to the Truth?!" I whisper-yell

Connor's POV

"U-um" Cordillia stammers. She still straddles my waist.

"Wh-what j-just happened?" my face and ears burn.

"I-I-I…um…" She looks at me straight in the eye. "I'm sorry." She looks so sincere and worried. Freaking adorable. She starts to get up, but I pull her back down.

"Don't be." I smirk and bring her to my lips, reliving the moment that's just happened seconds ago. She seems shocked but kisses back.

"What the heck?!" I hear Percy's very distinct over-protective, don't-mess-with-my-little-sister voice.

Uh-oh…

Ha-ha! I finished chapter 6! Sorry again about the delay! See you next chapter! BYE-BYE! *runs away*
