CHAPTER 2 - PERCY

I wake up with my mom's alarm in the next room with a pang of headache due to last night's intoxication. My chiuaua, grover, growls but continues his soundly sleep. 

I'm feeling something strange, something in that kiss last night. I still can remember that I kissed someone, of course, but who was it? It can't be a random girl in there. I feel strange, really. Something that I'm feeling, the kiss is kind of weird because it feels like a love potion then now, I'm feeling strange because it feels like I really want to look for that person and I'm in love with that person soon after I meet that person. I keep on saying 'that person' because I'm not even sure of the sexual orientation of that person. It would be great if that person is a girl... but what if it's a guy? No. No way! I'm quite sure that I'll kiss someone randomly that's a girl! 

Yea really. But something's strange on the lips of that person too. I touch my lips trying to put back the taste of the lips I just snogged last night. The lips seemed so familiar to me, tho I didn't kissed someone before. What's in me then? What's my heart's problem? 

I feel something, something like a changing heart.

"One is enough, two is too much, Perseus, three is a poison that will kill you." he looks at me sternly, abominating me, "I won't kill myself. I don't believe in second chances, but I did it for you and you just disappointed me. You made me regret that decision I made."

The loss of having an anti-social and bibliophile best friend. I mean, I don't regret befriending him, really, but it feels so damn hard to just get along with him. It's not that I'm saying that I can't tolerate his attitude anymore, I can't not-tolerate it because I can't have him move out of my life, but I just can't understand it all the time. 

His still there standing hands on the table looking sternly at me.

"I...I'm sorry, Nic. I didn't--"

"--mean it. You don't always mean it everytime you made mistakes that's why it's called MIS-TAKES." he rolls his eyes and get himself ready to leave the cafeteria, "that's why there are precautions made, to prevent mistakes. Try doing some, sometimes." 

He then run out of the cafeteria, nowhere to be found, for sure. I'm a hundred and one percent sure, I won't find him in the old dark place where we met, he found himself a new hiding place.

I'm left here alone in the cafeteria again. I think it's me and my food again. Where's Frank, Leo, and Jason, anyway? Oh, those badasses! For sure they didn't attend school again. For sure they're having fun again, while me... I'm here, rejected. 

The very first time I left Nico with other people was when I introduced him to Frank, Leo, and Jason. They were not bad people, even though they're badasses they don't hurt my friends. 

I don't know what's wrong with Nico that time, but I just let him and my three other friends know more each other that time. I didn't know that he didn't want to be left with strangers back then, so I did.

After few seconds that I left him with them, he's behind me, like what he did when I left him with Rachel, and he told me that he don't want to be left  with complete strangers because he feels like a prostitue. He feels like he's being sell to others. Anti-social feels. So I apologized for what I did back then, but now, he can't accept my apology anymore. 

I don't know, but it feels so bad.

***

The mysterious person I kissed keeps on bugging me, still. I'm in my Calculus class, which is also my last class for the day, and I'm not quite listening because I'm still trying to remember the mysterious person. I don't know, but I want to know who that was.
