I just finished reading Blood of Olympus, I won't give any spoilers but it was a good book. Disappointing ending and no Annabeth and Percy POV's what so ever. Still good read. Also I hope you all don't kill me when you read this and for it being late, but as I said all a part of the plot. Internet Dating will be uploaded after this. Enjoy.
Chapter Seven - Percy -
We were inches apart and my brain was still telling me to pull back. Things were building up inside of me, things I have never felt before: Love, Compassion, satisfied? Our lips touched in the most gentle kiss possible, testing out the waters before it slowly built up. I'm not sure what it was but it felt... right. I could feel sparks of electricity running through my body as our lips danced together. Then I became self concious, it was my first kiss. Damn I sound like a frigging Aphrodite child at the Agency, meant to fall in love with the enemy and break their hearts, killing them in the process. I felt her smile in the kiss, possibly wanting this for sometime, how that's even possible I'm not sure. One. Day. It had been a day. I felt like I should smile too, but this was a complete new experience, I wasn't meant to feel these sort of feelings. We pulled apart after maybe twenty seconds? I wasn't counting so how would I know? We looked at each other, she had a faint smile on her face, even though she just technically cheated on her boyfriend, and my expression? Stone cold. I was still trying to process what just happened when there was a noise from behind. Nico was stood there with a confused expression on his face,
"You okay? You've both been gone for about half an hour." Nico stated, as he eyed us both, his eyes shifting every five seconds waiting for an answer. I cleared my throat,
"Fine, she was about to head back, I need to go back home and get another shirt, mind if I take your bike?" I wondered. He nodded and mumbled,
"Yeah, just don't trash it." He threw the keys over his shoulder as he retreated back over to the main building. Annabeth looked at me still, still smiling and was about to say something when I beat her to it,
"It didn't happen, you have a boyfriend and I don't want to get involved with someone else's relationship, we are better off as friends." I said truthfully as I kick started the bike. Annabeth looked like she was about to protest, but I just gave her a look to say 'don't try it, it won't work.' She nodded and mumbled,
"Yeah, that's true. Didn't happen. Got it." She sounded disheartened but she turned on her heels and walked off back to the main building, following Nico's footsteps. Her shoulders were sagged and I turned back around to start my journey home. After keeping an eye on my surroundings in case of another attack, I made it back to the safe house, intact as well as making sure that I wasn't followed, I parked up next to a black monaro pick up, and turned off the engine. I picked up the bike and strapped it into the rear of the car before entering the house to find clean clothes. I rummaged through the chest of drawers until I found an orange t-shirt and slipped it on over my head. I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl and entered the car. Inside there was a note saying,
Perseus, try not to destroy this car. From Poseidon.
I chuckled as I threw the note into the bin in the corner. I started up the engine, the car rumbled to life as I pulled out of the garage and headed back to school. After an hour of being stuck in traffic I made my way to the lunch room where I waited for everyone to come out of PE, no point in going seen as, A) I have no gym clothes, and B) I had five minutes till the end of the lesson. My mind ran over this morning. Why was Annabeth so level headed about the fact I had a knife, well Nico had a knife, why was she so cool about it? Why in Hades had I kissed her? It felt right but why? I wasn't meant to feel this way. I was brought out of my thoughts by a dishevelled looking Nico. His hair was sticking up in every direction and he looked... Flustered?
"You okay there Nico? You look out of it." I glanced behind him to see Thalia, who looked exactly the same way, except she was smiling. Luke followed soon after and then Ethan, Piper and Jason. Five minutes passed but no Annabeth. I glanced over at Nico who still looked a little flustered but had regained some of his composure as he flattened down his mess of obsidian hair, in a not so subtle way. He caught my eye and shrugged, guessing my question.
"So Nico you never answered me, why do you look like you just got caught with your pants down?" I wondered. I was completely clueless to the fact I might have been teasing him, but Thalia caught my eye, then Nico's and blushed. I was still clueless. I just gave them both a confused look and returned back to looking at my phone. I was mindlessly flipping it in my hand as the others were talking. I was still thinking about this morning, my ADHD playing up, as I thought about the kiss. I was once again brought out of my thoughts when someone snapped their fingers in front of my face,
"Oi Kelp Head!" Thalia continuously clicked her fingers in front of my face,
"what?" I mumbled coming out of my daze, "Did you just call me Kelp Head?" I wondered as I stared at her dumbfounded. She just chuckled and hummed,
"Yeah, Nico told me that was your nickname for when you don't listen. I said what happened this morning?" She questioned. My heart rate quickened thinking that she saw me and Annabeth or knew about it, but she kept staring at the place where my cut was.
"Oh, ugh, I trashed my stang yesterday when I had my little moment. I had glass embed itself in my chest and Nico didn't get it all out so I had a bit still inside of me this morning. I got it out and went home to get my new car from my dad, Nico your bikes in the back." My mind slipped elsewhere as I saw a flash of blonde curly princess hair, bouncing out of the double doors towards the library. "I gotta go check on it and see how it's healing, I'll see you later." I flashed everyone a smile and made my way down towards the double doors.
