In Disguise

Chapter 8

"I think we should hang out away from campus. But I want you to be Annabeth, not Anthony." Dylan told me at the lunch table. I shook my head and continued my lunch.

"Not going to happen."

"Oh come on. It'll be fun. I get to see you in a dress." He smirked at me and wiggled his eyebrows all flirty like. I rolled my eyes at him and threw a grape in his face which he caught with his mouth.

"First of all, you will never see me in a dress or skirt. And second, no. I will not take the risk of someone else finding out. If it were up to me, you should have never found out, but you did." I told him. I don't want to and I'm not going to risk anything. I should have just lied to Dylan.

"Well then, if you didn't want to hang out with me you could have just said so." Dylan said.

"I do, but not as Annabeth. And know can find out, even Zack." I told him. He crossed his arms and pouted.

"But Zack is like one of your most loyal friends. Why wouldn't you tell him?"

"Because he's too overprotective and if he finds out, then he would be upset that I didn't tell him. He would think I don't trust him. And I do, but not with this. Trust me, it's better this way." I said. He shook his head and stood up.

"You shouldn't be living your last year in highschool a lie. You would miss out on the things you love. Why don't you trust me on this and go out with me today. As Annabeth."

"Okay, but if anything slips up or goes wrong, then it's off." I said.

"You have my word, baby."

"Don't. Ever. Call. Me. Baby." I said in a firm voice. I guess it didn't matter what voice i used, he would never really take me seriously. He laughed and sat on the right of me. He slung his arm over my shoulder and we just had a good time. I think I can really get along with Dylan.

"Tonight, meet me at my dorm and we will have the best night of our lives." Dylan said. I nodded agreeing with him, but I was afraid I would get caught. I know Percy likes to play dirty and if he finds out I was out, then I was for sure to get in trouble. He might even rat me out about the last time we were out and I can't let that happen.

"Dylan."

"What?"

"Do you think that Percy likes me. I mean you know the saying that if a guy picks on you, he likes you... Never mind what I said. Just forget it, it was a stupid thing to say."

"It's not stupid. It could be a possibility, but I seriously doubt it. Does he even know you're a girl? And why him instead of the other guys that bother you? Why do you assume he likes you?" Dylan asked with such curiosity.

I groaned and banged my head against the table. My life is screwed up.

"Because he kissed me! Well I kissed him first, but I was drunk, so that doesn't count. But the point is that he kissed me and I kind of liked it and I think maybe he likes me back. The problem is that he doesn't know that I'm Annabeth Chase."

"Wow, he kissed you? Out of all people. You?" Dylan asked very surprised like. I nodded in response and rested my head on the palm of my hand.

"Yes, it's not that hard to believe. I just thought that if he actually knew who I was he would at least stop bothering me. But then again, his father is the Dean of the school, so basically I'm screwed. Tell me what to do Dylan!" I pleaded. I am so helpless right now.

"Well, do whatever your heart tells you to. Though I don't see how you can like an asshole like him when you can have someone who cares about you."

"Someone like who?"

"Someone like me."

I stayed fairly quiet, not knowing what to say or do. I didn't know what I was doing with my life. I like Sam, but I also like Percy. I also hate Percy at the same time and Dylan found a way into my heart. I trust him a lot.

Dylan face dropped when I didn't say anything. I instantly felt bad. I just think maybe I can lay off relationships. Maybe that was better.

"Sorry I ever said anything. I'm busy tonight so you don't have to go out with me." Dylan said and got up and left. I stood up and called after him to come back, but that was unlikely to happen.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"About what?"

I turned around and saw the face of a smirking Leo." I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"What do you what now?" I asked in annoyance. Leo laughed and handed me a piece of paper. He then left me alone with the piece of paper.

I unfolded it and began to read it.

Meet me at the back of the school tonight at 7

~Percy.

I know I shouldn't have been happy, but I couldn't contain my excitement. Let's just up he wasn't meeting me there to beat me up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm here now, what do you want?"

"I didn't think you would come." Percy said with a sly grin on his face. I glared at him and crossed my arms. No matter how cute he was, I had to stay strong and not fall for him.

"Yeah, well I did. So tell me what you want or I'll just go." I said bluntly. Percy laughed and walked over to me, pushing me to the brick wall.

He's going to beat me up! Someone help!

"Relax. I'm not going to hurt you." Percy said and as he gave a little chuckle. What is so funny?

"Then what-?"

I was cut off by his warm lips against mine. Forget about staying strong, this was way better. I placed my lightly against his chest and kissed him back. I realized what I was doing so I pushed him back.

"This is wrong!" I said. Percy groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Oh please! What is wrong about this?! We're two people kissing."

"Why would I want to kiss someone who's going to torment me the next day? Or the person who doesn't like commitment? Or someone who is a inconsiderate prick? I want to know?!" I said angrily. Percy sighed and took my hand.

"I'm sorry." He said. I scowled at him for being such a bastard.

"That's it? That's all you have to say? Look, Percy. I want you as much as you want me but-."

"But you refuse to fucking make out with me. You're such a prude. Maybe I was wrong for bringing you here. Tomorrow I'll make sure you get jumped or something." He said bitterly. Tears glistened in my eyes and I quickly wiped them. I shouldn't let Percy get to me like this.

"Shit. Don't cry, I was kidding. I wasn't actually going to jump you. Please stop crying." I sniffled a little bit, trying to hold in my little sobs. I nodded, but the tears continued to stroll down my eyes.

"You don't know anything about me, Percy Jackson."I said with my voice still shaking. But Percy did something unexpectedly. He actually hugged me. It felt nice, but it was hard to enjoy it because I can't help but focus where his hands were. It was rushing up and down my back and my ass. I should have pushed him away, but it made me feel good.

"I would love to get to know you."

"Then let's start off with you treating me like a princess." I said. I then realized my mistake and my face was red as a tomato.

"Princess?"

"I mean royalty." I said still blushing furiously.

"There's something weird about you."

"You just noticed now?" I asked.

"Well I'm getting to know you now."
