Behind Their Backs [COMPLETED] (Behind Their Backs series book 1)

Chapter 3

We continued to hang out at the beach house everyday until late November when we started having to go our own ways.

Then one day, not long before Christmas break, Percy randomly texted me before school:

Meet me at my jeep today after school.

Ok, why? I responded instantly.

I'll explain later.

Ok

All day, I wondered about what he wanted me for. I kept daydreaming about us being together, alone. They were all totally different exept for the fact that in every single one, they kissed. I kept wondering if he wanted to kiss me.

No, I thought, Percy would never be into me. but then why does he want to talk to me? Maybe he wanted to meet up with lots of us. Maybe he wants to go to the beach with Jason, Piper and I, like old times. Maybe he wants to go to the mall with me and his guy friends. Nah that didn't makes sense. Niether of them did.
The second the school bell rang, signaling for us to go home, I stood up and walked straight out of period seven math, before the teacher could tell me to come back. Percy must have had a free period at period seven, because he was already at his jeep when I got there.

"You wanted me here?" I asked as I approached him.

"Yeah, I was thinking maybe you and me could go to the beach," he replied.

"Just you and me?"

"Yeah, Jason has basketball and Piper has cheerleading."

"Don't you have football?" I questioned.

"Nah, not today."

"I don't have my bathing suit."

"That's okay, we will stop by your house."

"Okay well I guess I'll go."

Forty-five minutes later and one very long conversation with Sally, we were finally at the beach.

Percy and I immediately started surfing. After about twenty minutes, Percy fell off his surfboard and came back up with seaweed in his hair, so I said "Hey, Seaweed brain! Now we both have terrible nicknames for each other!" He grinned a big toothy grin.

Around four o'clock, Sally texted Percy askin gif we would be home for dinner, so he resonded with no, we will just pick up some A&W on our way home from the beach. But it wasn't until dark when we finally deciced to go eat, so Percy drove over to the nearest A&W and came back in ten minutes because it was almost nine pm.

"You know, I had a lot of fun today," Percy told me as we sat on the beach, still wearing our wet bathing suits, sharing the same towel, finishing our burgers and fries at ten o'clock at night.

"Yeah me too, we should do this more often."

"Yeah," he agreed.

After sitting in silence for a while, Percy decided to start an argument wih me about eating fries of the burger first.

"Obviously, you have to eat the burger then the fries," I told him.

"No! The fries because then all the saltiness goes away when you eat the burger," the green-eyed boy argued.

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! The seaweed must be leaking into your brain," I practically screamed.

He laughed and said, "Come on, lets get you home before curfew." I had to agree to that.
After ten minutes, we got to my house and I said, "thanks for the ride, Jackson"

"Yeah." I turned to leave, "Wait!" He said. I turned back around to look at him as he jammed his lips into mine, pulling me closer to him as we continued to kiss.
