Percy POV
I looked down at the note book and read it.
I burst out laughing.
I ripped the page out, "Nobody wants to read this. Somewhere, it got real sexual," I said, and threw it in the garbage.
As I returned to my seat, the bell rang, signaling lunch was over.
The rest of the day, I saw some of my new friends in and out of classes, but always Annabeth, except for Marine Biology.
I saw her just before I was going to leave.
"Hey," I said, "You want me to walk you home."
She shook her head vigorously, "You shouldn't have to experience something like that," and then she took off running, leaving me behind, and totally confused.
Annabeth POV
I raced down the street, tears threatening to fall.
Just another person to hide from.
Though, I don't want to. I really want to tell him. I feel like I can trust him completely, but I just met him.
I slowed down to a jog, and then ended up in front of my apartment building.
Here's my personal hell.
Percy POV
I walked home with my head down, lost in thought.
She was really pretty!
Well...
So you agree with me!
No. Yes. Maybe...No.
What? You don't like her.
That's not what I meant. I meant that she was...
Spit it out!
Beautiful. She was beautiful.
OMG!
I think I may need a mental hospital...
Thalia POV
I watched Percy. He looked...confused. Not that that was abnormal, but...this time...it was different, somehow.
"Perce?" I asked, "Are you okay?"
His head snapped up in my direction.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure." He said.
He's not alright.
