Annabeth POV:

"OPEN THE DOOR ALREADY!" Percy yelled in an exasperated tone. I didn't reply, just sipping coffee while reading The One by Kiera Cass.

"Please! Annabeth, if you open the-,"

"EEW!" I heard a girl scream. "A man is in the girl's dormitory hallway!"

I giggled silently, but stopped when I imagined Percy's flushed face. Gosh, I was being cruel. Should I open the door? I heard more banging on the door, and I lost my patience. I walked towards the door, opening it.

"Annabeth-,"

"What?" I shouted when I opened the door. His face was red as a tomato.

"Let me in," he squeaked.

"Make it quick," I said, and he walked inside. I plopped down on the couch as Percy stood in front of me. I grabbed my book, beginning to read until I saw Percy's fingers grip tightly on the book. He yanked it away from my hands and put it down on the coffee table. Then I looked up at him, who was staring directly at me with frustration in his eyes.

"Listen," Percy said. "Why do you keep avoiding me?"

"What are you-,"

"Stop lying," Percy's cheeks got red. "Why do you keep avoiding me? When I sit by at your table in lunch, you'd make all sorts of excuses whether to go to the restroom or you forgot something in your dormitory and go away until lunch hours are over. You keep the conversations very short when I want to talk to you. And when I asked you to partner up on English, you go away and partner up with Luke. What's your problem?"

"Look," I said, glaring at him. "If you're trying to talk about this with me, the first thing that pops up in my head is your stupidity."

"Annabeth-,"

"Percy, can't you just leave me alone?" I asked, irritated.

"Just tell me," Percy said. "Why do you keep ignoring me?"

"Because," I said. Should I tell him the truth? Should I tell him that I am avoiding him because I like him, and I want to get over him because he is the Mr. Popular in college and I am out of his league? Should I really just spat that in his face? No...I shouldn't. That would be embarrassing. Make a lie...make a lie...

"Tell me!" Percy shouted, his sea-green eyes staring at mine. I gulped.

"Because..." I said. "You're annoying! You always cling on to me, as if I am your magnet or something! It's annoying! I want space Percy! And clearly you don't understand that. All you do is ask me to tutor you and help you ace classes, but life isn't that way! Learn yourself, or just ask Rachel! She seems to like you...clearly! And besides, why are you asking me these questions? Do you like me? Why can't you just leave me alone? I have a life, and so do you Percy. Don't waste it on asking me dumb questions and embarrassing yourself to just come here at the girl's dormitory. Gosh, just leave me alone Percy. You're seriously annoying. I hate you. So just go."

Percy's eyes flashed hurt, and I immediately regretted my words. But I couldn't just go apologize again. I guess my words are sealed, and there is no going back.

I like Percy Jackson.

But it is the time for me to get over him.

I stared at Percy, and his face turned red.

"You know what Annabeth?" Percy said. "I used to like you. I used to think you were really nice. And I used to think you weren't some type of girl that would just act and say these words to someone who came just to talk to you. I wasn't being rude at all Annabeth. You greeted me rudely, you were reading when I entered, and right when I was going to ask the reason, you didn't even word it nicely. You just said it harshly. You know Annabeth, I thought you as a really kind, shy, and smart person. I never knew your dark side was this bad. You're so rude, and thinking about you right now angers me. I may regret my words in the future, but so far, I don't. Actually...I'll never think my words as a mistake. Because don't you deserve it?"

Ouch.

"Well Percy? I don't really care what you think. All I want to say to you is that I don't like you, that's all. And call me rude. But seriously, I could decline you rudely if I want," I spat.

"Of course," Percy said, his eyes looking angry. "Isn't it because you can't interpret human emotions? Isn't that why you're being this rude? Or is it that you are naturally rude? Yeah...that's probably the reason..."

Ooh...that stung.

"Percy? Just get out of here!" I shouted, throwing a pillow at him which he immediately caught. Screw his fast reflexes.

"I will. And Annabeth?"

I stared at him.

"I am really disappointed that I liked a person like you. So as you wanted, I will respect your decisions."

"Percy..." I said. "Just. Get. Out."

"I will your majesty," Percy said, and stormed out of my dormitory and closed the door. Once he was gone, I cried, holding the pillow that was beside me. Our relationship is so hard. But hey...I need to get over him. Those words were not only meant for Percy. They were also meant for me.

But...

He liked me.

And I threw that away.

I have to go away from him

I can't possibly like him.

He's a jerk.

And I guess I can never really love him anymore.


Weeks passed and Percy avoided me. I didn't even stare at him back. But at the same time, I felt a tensed feeling when he would walk past me, laughing with Grover, Jason, Frank, and Leo. They were all having fun. I decided to have fun with Hazel, Calypso, and Piper. I decided that one boy can't stop me from living a normal life. The poison can't go that far.

Until now.

I've made a hard situation. The weeks that passed by were torture. I tried to focus on my notes at class, but I couldn't help stare at Percy who was listening carefully to Mr. Brunner. Percy only focused to Mr. Brunner, and my heart sank. If I could talk to him...

But then I would be a hypocrite.

I told him to go away and I don't back off.

I can't possibly like Percy Jackson after he went away. Shouldn't I be glad that he's gone? But those words he told me struck me like a bullet, and I couldn't help but scream mentally. Not in class of course...but in my head. Everything is so frustrating. No...love is frustrating. Every thing about college is so stupid. I thought I could learn and have fun exactly how Mom said. But everything is twisting and turning into something I never expected. It became harder, and since love overpowered me, I am in love with Percy. And once I discovered that feeling, I was so afraid of love that I threw it away. And now, I am empty except I am breaking inside. My heart is like a heart shaped glass that is so fragile and is getting splattered with black ink. And if anything pushes me, the heart will break.

"Annabeth Chase, are you listening?" Mr. Brunner asked. A few snickered and I blushed.

"Yes..." I said, and Percy only stared at me. My heart quickened its pace as Mr. Brunner looked back at the board. "So the Greeks..."

But Percy and my eyes were locked together until he turned away, fully ignoring me. I shifted back into listening to Mr. Brunner, knowing that one guy can't stop me from having a great college year...

Right?


"Frank...I have a huge favor," I said, and Frank smiled.

"Anything Annabeth...anyways...I have a favor too after you say yours..." Frank said, blushing.

"You can start first..." I said.

"So about Hazel..."

"Yeah?"

"I want to secretly meet her at your dormitory to sing my song I made for her...I want to ask her out and..."

"Keep on going..."

"And she's your roommate...and I just wondered if you could like go out for a few hours and come back. I'll be done by then. Please?"

"I was just going to ask if I could visit your dormitory..."

"For what reason?" Frank said.

"Percy..."

"Annabeth..." Frank said, his eyes staring at me with caring eyes. "I understand you might've said harsh words to Percy, but I don't think he ever wants to see you again."

"But-,"

"I'm sorry. I want to help you so bad but...Percy really needs some time to think about this whole matter. He's pretty upset you know..."

"Please Frank. Just let me talk to him. Please..."

"Annabeth...Percy is really mad. If he sees you at the dorm, he's going to scream. He hates you..."

"I understand," I said, a flash of hurt piercing through my heart. My heart is soon going to burst if I hear anymore of what Frank is going to say. "Thanks though. You're a good friend. Just...take care of Percy..."

"Okay..." Frank said, and his eyes looked down. "I'm really sorry Annabeth. I want to help you but Percy...I want to respect my friend's decision."

"Alright," I said, and walked off. I finally reached my dormitory when I saw Piper and Jason laughing. I hid in a corner of the wall, and saw Piper and Jason kiss each other and laugh. I wished I could go to Percy. Tears welled up in my eyes as I tried to hide them. Don't cry. Don't even dare. If you do...

They didn't even consider my threat.

The tears slipped out of my eyes as I wiped them. How could love be this cruel to me? How can-

"Annabeth?" Jason asked. Piper stared at me, and when she saw my tears she rushed towards me.

"You alright?" Piper asked.

"I'm fine..." I said. "How are you guys doing?"

"He's...Annabeth, I don't want to tell unless you tell me what's wrong."

"I...look...I am really fine..."

"Jason...this is something private..."

"Is it about Percy?" Jason asked and I froze.

"No...it's not-,"

"I could see through that Annabeth," Jason said, and his eyes softened up. "You know...Percy misses you..."

"What?"

"Percy misses you..." Jason said. "He really likes you. Still. I could see through that. Of course Percy acts tough but he likes you..."

"Frank said-,"

"Frank is respecting Percy's decisions. But he really doesn't see the real Percy. He is crying, wanting to talk to you again. He's trying to forget you Annabeth. And sadly, he's failing a little bit every single day. I know what you said was really wrong. It was really rude..."

Piper backed up.

"Hey," she said. "Annabeth-,"

"It was rude Beauty Queen," Jason said to Piper.

"Sparky, you have to-,"

"I don't want to let you guys fight because of me," I said quickly and Piper hugged Jason.

"Annabeth...we're talking about this later."

"Annabeth," Jason said. "Do you want to meet Percy?"

I nodded.

"If you want to, sneak towards his dormitory. Floor five, room eight. Make him happy, okay?"

"Jason, Frank told me-,"

"I ship you guys," Jason said, and smiled. "I hate seeing his distressed. Just apologize, okay?"

"Okay..."

"Now Beauty Queen...let me buy you some coffee at the café," he said and Piper laughed. As they walked away, I knew I had to make things right.

I like Percy Jackson.

And he's hurt.

And I need to mend things quickly as possible.


I wore black skinny jeans and a grey shirt. I wore a black hoodie over that, and put bobby clips up on my hair, soon making my hair look like a boy...with a lot of bobby clips. I got a cap and put it over my head, making me look like a full boy. I slipped on some sneakers and walked out before Frank could know my plan.

Sadly, he saw me when I opened the door.

"Annabeth?"

"Umm...hi..."

"You're not-,"

"Don't think I am-,"

"You're...going to Percy are you?" Frank said.

"Let me explain-,"

"Make him happy," Frank said, smiling. "Just...don't let him frustrated. Hear him out all the way. And just don't make him yell."

"Okay," I said, and he patted my back. Then he saw Hazel who was wearing a dress and smiled.

"Go," I whispered, and he stepped inside. I closed the door as I gave a wink to Hazel. She blushed and as I walked through the hallways, I could hear the strings of the guitar and the tune and Frank's voice singing to Hazel.

Beautiful.

I smiled as I soon entered the boy's hallway. I stepped inside the elevator and pressed floor five, just as Jason told me. The elevator went up and finally the door opened. I stepped out of the elevator as I looked for room nine. Or was it room eight? Oh, let's try room nine. Yeah...Jason said room nine. I am sure of it.

I knocked the door as I was surprised.

It wasn't Percy.

It was Ethan.

"Sup," Ethan said, then stared at me. "Annabeth?"

"Excuse me...sorry..." I said in a boyish voice. "I think I knocked on the wrong dormitory...sorry for the interruption..."

"Don't lie Annabeth," Ethan said, coming closer. "I've never seen a guy like you-,"

"I'm sorry. I am pretty new here-,"

"Annabeth, stop lying. Your disguise seems pretty good, but in my eyes, you can't deceive me," Ethan said. "Did you come here to hang out?"

"No," I said. "And excuse me, I do not know who Annabeth is-,"

"Stop lying," Ethan said, and backed me up on a wall right beside Dorm No.8. Dang it. I should've gone to Dorm No. 8. first.

"Fine," I said. "But I didn't come to see you."

"Oh come on," he said. "I know you want to hang out with me. Don't you? You came here because you wanted to talk to me? Did you come here to-,"

"Shut. Up." I said. "And leave. Me. Alone."

"Aww..." Ethan said, coming closer. "Poor Annabeth. She is struggling!"

"Stop Ethan...please..." I said, feeling a wave of discomfort.

"No," he said. "Come. We can chat at my dorm-,"

"I said I didn't want to!" I said, raising my voice. "Now leave me alone!"

"Scream," he said. "I want to see you scream. Scream."

Then the door opened and Percy popped out, punching Ethan.

"Leave her alone," Percy said, and Ethan was already on the ground, his lips patched up.

"It's none of your business Jackson," he said.

"Actually, it is. She's my girlfriend. She just got mistakened about which dorm mine was. Leave her alone." Girlfriend? Seriously Percy? But my heart skipped a beat when he said that. I couldn't help but blush.

"Oh," Ethan said. "Then Annabeth, you could've told me..."

"Go away," I muttered, and Percy put his arms around me.

"Touch her one more time and I'll do worse," Percy threatened.

"Yes sir," Ethan said, laughing and stood up.

"Annabeth...you were lucky..." he said and went inside his dorm, laughing. I froze as Percy led me inside the dormitory.


"You okay?" Percy asked. I nodded as he handed me a mug full of hot chocolate. I wrapped my hands around it. The winter frost clung onto the window, and a rush of cold air seeped through my skin. I shivered and Percy sat next to me.

"I'm sorry," I said.

"Idiot," he muttered. I looked down as Percy's thumb gripped my chin and he raised it to meet my eyes. "Why are you here late at night?"

"I-,"

"Why did you even want to come see me?" he asked. "You could've-,"

"I just..." I said. "Look. Percy, I realized-,"

"If you're going to talk about that matter, than go," Percy said.

"I'm sorry," I said, and Percy looked away.

"Don't bring it up-,"

"I'm sorry that I said those words," I said. "I really do. I'm sorry I hurt you. I liked you Percy...and I still do. I guess you were the first guy I ever liked, and I was afraid. And knowing that you were Mr. Popular at college, I though I was way out of your league. And when you came to me that day, I just...froze and just wanted to get over you. But I was foolish. And as days passed, you popped in my head. And I felt so bad..."

"Then why didn't you apologize earlier?" Percy asked, gritting his teeth. Wait...was he expecting an apology earlier? Was I this dumb to try to act cool?

"Percy-,"

"Annabeth, you should go back," he said. "I really don't feel comfortable talking about this-,"

"I know you don't," I said softly. "But...I just wanted to apologize. You don't need to forgive me. I just want you to know I am sorry."

"Okay," he said. "Now it's getting late. You should be going."

"Okay," I said. "And Percy?" I said.

"Yeah?" he said softly.

"Thanks about earlier. Really...thank you..." I said, and he nodded.

"I was just helping you," he said.

Then, I hugged him.

"Really...thank you. Now, I better head out-,"

But he hugged me, which stopped time. My heart skipped a beat, and he just patted my back.

"You should go now," he said, but he didn't let me go. He held me tight.

"You're hugging me," I said. "I can't..."

"Then let's stay like this position for a little bit," Percy said softly, and he pulled me closer. I hugged him tightly, and Percy pulled me closer.

And closer.

And closer.

Till I accidentally fell on his lap. I blushed, and pulled away, though his arms were still around him. Percy smiled. I blushed, and looked down. He hugged me again, and I sat comfortably on his lap. Then...

Everything happened quickly.

He pulled away a little, and kissed me. I couldn't breathe. Not by suffocation. It was just the fact that Percy Jackson was kissing me. I could immediately feel his hands take off my cap and slowly take out the bobby pins out of my hair. He yanked one bobby pin. I cringed, but he still kissed me. Finally, all the bobby pins were gone and my hair fell free. Percy kissed me as I smiled.

Then, we pulled away.

"Um..." I said, blushing. He smiled.

"I..." he said, beginning to blush.

"You..." I whispered.

"I..." he said.

"Um..." I said.

"I kissed you," he said, and looked away. Then he whispered, "How could I be this stupid?"

I felt a little hurt.

"I guess that kiss was-,"

"It's not that," he said. "It's just I was supposed to get over you. And now..."

I sighed, and cupped his cheeks. He stared at me and I kissed him. Time stopped again, and all I felt was his soft lips on mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck as I felt a small smile creep over his lips. He wrapped his arms around my waist. We finally pulled away and Percy smiled.

"Gosh...I shouldn't be doing this," he said, but smiled.

"I guess I'll go now..."

"Yeah..." I said, and ran out. I went inside the elevator, towards the girl's dormitory when Frank came out. He smiled as I entered in and Hazel stared at me dreamily.

"I'm dating Frank," she said, and I squealed for her.

"YAY!" I said, and she hugged me.

"How's with you and Percy..."

"Just..."

"If it's private, you can tell me when it's time..."

"Okay," I said, and plopped on my bed. I put the covers above my head, feeling my lips.

I kissed Percy Jackson.

I KISSED PERCY JACKSON!

Oh my gosh...I kissed Percy Jackson...


The next day, I wen through all my classes. I had a bunch of homework, and I knew I had to study thoroughly. I finally did, and then Percy saw me.

Dang it, Dang it, Dang it.

"Annabeth!" he said, rushing towards me. He locked his hands with mine, and led me towards the staircase.

"Percy-,"

"Just...be quiet," he said, and we were running above the staircase, laughing. My legs soon hurt, but he kept dragging me up.

And up.

And up.

Till there was a door and he opened it. A rush of air came brushed through my face, and I laughed. Percy made me go to the rooftops first, and I smiled.

"I thought you hated me," I said, and he looked at me.

"I do," he said, and my smile faded. "But..."

"What?" I said, a little hope rising from me.

"I like you. And I..."

"Keep on going," I said.

"Forgive you."

I smiled and kissed Percy's cheeks. "I'm really sorry. I really was a bad person. I-,"

"I was wondering," Percy said, and looked away.

"Yeah?" I said.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date to the café...and maybe we can sort out our relationship from there..."

I smiled.

"I'd love that." I said softly, and Percy kissed me. Butterflies flew inside my stomach as Percy wrapped his arms around me and finally we pulled away.

"I really like you," I said, and Percy smiled.

"Me too."

"Well," I said, straightening my shirt. "Meet you tonight..."

"Okay. At five..."

"At five."
