The boy who grew up

18

Sophomore year is coming to an end, summer is coming. Everyone is in a buzz, the whole prom prank was forgotten, until they saw the pictures on every social sight in America. Piper and Jason stayed away from the group as they planned to find away to apologize to Percy. Percy and Zoe had gotten closer and were deemed the schools best couple, this didn't bode well with Drew as she tried harder and harder to get the oblivious Percy Jackson's attention. He was always by Zoe and his friends, but she had a plan worthy of Venus. She jogged up to Percy and his friends to try to garner his attention.

"Hey Percy, I'm cleaning out my locker and I accidentally shut it, will you help me open it? I think it's jammed." She said in an innocent voice, Percy looked at Drew who inwardly squealed when she saw his sea green eyes. He flashed her a smile,

"Sure, I'll be right back guys." He walked along side Drew and Zoe narrowed her eyes and decided to follow them. Drew walked a little closer then necessary but Percy wasn't paying attention, he decided to bring up a topic they could talk about,

"Sorry I called you Dr. Dre all those times, I thought your name was Dre and Zoe said that Dr. Dre was your nickname." Drew scowled at this information,

"That's why people have been saying that!" She fumed and started to think of ways to get pay back. Percy chuckled,

"That was in the past, and a wise man once told me. That the present is a gift." Drew mulled it over a bit and surprisingly nodded in understanding,

"Who told you that Jackson?" He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck,

"Well, I might of found that quote on google and it sounded cool so..." He trailed off as Drew laughed at him. He pretended to be offended,

"How dare you!" He roared playfully causing Drew to laugh even harder. He's never heard her laugh before, usually she was touching his arm...maybe she's touchy about certain subjects! Percy joked inwardly and he could hear a crowd laughing in the back round. Ya, I've lost my marbles. He thought sadly and they finally made it to Drew's locker, I hope it's cheese burger day! He thought off topic at the task at hand. He was about to open it until he was pushed against the locker. His back hit it and Drew pinned him down.

"Uh, you okay?" He asked nervously and gulped. All I wanted was a burger, he thought sadly. She smiled coyly at him,

"Never better Jackson." He didn't want this, he started praying for someone to help him when he had déjà vu. This has happened before he realized and then she kissed him. He stiffened and tried to pull away but she followed his head.

Zoe watched the scene in horror and anger, I'll jump in when necessary. She thought while watching Drew kiss Percy. She felt an ugly feeling boil in her chest and she knew it was jealousy and hatred. She hated that Drew was always trying to kiss her boyfriend, she was jealous because his lips were being kissed by another girl. Her boyfriend was her best friend, her love, her partner in crime, her happiness. And now Drew was messing it all up by chasing and kissing him.

Percy tickled Drew who pulled away and she giggled. He slipped out of her grasp and sprinted down the hall. He was tackled by Drew again and was getting really creeped out. Then she was ripped off of him by a livid Zoe. She punched Drew in the face several times before shoving her in a trash bin. Percy looked at her happily and then at Drew who was struggling to get out of the bin. Percy got up and embraced the livid Zoe. He gave her a big passionate kiss that had both of their hearts beating extremely hard. Zoe thought that everything was perfect until he pulled away.

He was stunned and grinning stupidly.

"Best kiss ever." He murmured and Zoe frowned.

"But you said this was the best kiss ever." She kissed her knuckles and softly pressed them against Percy's mouth. He rolled his eyes once she removed her hand from his face.
