Mortal Crush {being edited}

Annabeths POV

Today was perfect. I really hope nothing goes wrong. But, I am pretty sure something will happen. I mean the Fates hate us. I swear, If there is another Great Prophecy I will scream. The second Titan war just finished and I am trying to get over the fact that Luke died. And speaking of the second Titan war finishing, me and Percy finally got together. I was right now cuddling Percy while he had his hands around me. We were on a big hill looking at the sunset. Percy had taken me on a date this afternoon and we decided to stay here. It was amazing. Even though me and Percy have only been dating for a week or two It feels like we have been dating forever. Percy is the best. But dad and Helen don't know anything about us. (In my story Annabeth's mortal family don't even know who Percy is.) I plan on it staying like that. I mean Helen has been acting up again and started saying more mean things. Meaner than when I was little. Probably because I can understand them. Then I heard a twig snap. Oh what is it now. We looked back and saw that brat who kissed Percy. Cassidy. The truth is that Cassidy is a daughter of Aphrodite. A really nice one in fact. Her boyfriend died in the war. She also said that she loves me and Percy together. In fact she was there when Clarisse threw us in the water. so I was really confused when she kissed Percy. She has reasons for bullying. It is because of her family problems. She won't tell anyone what they are though.

¨What do you want¨ I growled.

¨I want to say sorry.¨ she replied.

¨Why did you do it.¨ asked Percy.

¨M-my dad has cancer and I can not pay his bills so when someone said that if I kiss Percy I will get a lot of money, I immediately agreed. Sorry.¨ she said. I was shocked. I got up and hugged her. Percy followed me. 

¨Its ok, I am sorry for slapping you. I forgot that you probably had a reason to.¨ I said.

¨No. It was normal for you to react like that.¨ she said. I just smiled.

¨Also who told you to kiss Percy¨ I asked.

¨Um. . . I am not supposed to say this but for forgiving me it is the least I can do.¨ she then took a deep breath

¨It was Miles¨ she said. What?! Miles. Percy then decided to voice my thoughts out loud.

¨Miles! That is wise girls friend.¨ he said so dramatically. I rolled my eyes.

¨My name is not wise girl, seaweed brain¨ I said making sure to emphasis the words seaweed brain. He pouted.

¨Well my name is not seaweed brain.¨ he said. I smiled at how cute he is.

¨Well sorry.¨ I said with sarcasm dripping in my voice. He just raised his eyebrows and captured my lips with his. I was about to kiss him back when I heard a loud squeal. I forgot Cassidy was here. We looked at her.

¨Oops. I will leave. Continue please.¨She said walking away. I sighed and me and Percy sat down.

¨What is wrong wise girl.¨ asked Percy.

¨I don't know why Miles did it, I thought we were friends.¨ I said. 

¨Yeah, maybe you can confront him.¨ he said

¨Yeah. . .¨ I said. Then for the next few hours we talked about random thing or just sat quietly enjoying each others company.

Next day

My eyes shot open. I was sweating. I looked around and realized that it was just a dream. I sighed. I woke up 30 minutes early. I got up and made my bed. Then I went and took a shower. It felt good after that dream. I put on a loose grey top with black pants. I then put on the owl necklace and earrings Percy gave me. I went down grabbed some toast when my stepmother decided to grab it.

¨What?¨ I asked annoyed.

¨No food for you. Now leave my house¨ she screamed. Then my dad came in.

¨Hey Annabeth dear. Hey Helen what is with all the noise.¨ he asked.

¨Annabeth was being selfish and asked for more food¨ she said. I rolled my eyes. Lier.

¨Annabeth I am disappointed, go to school¨ he said. I just shrugged. This happened everyday.

I finally reached. It felt like forever because of my ADHD. I sighed. Today I was going to confront Miles. I was not scared. Just worried. I was right now pacing in front of the school. Think positive. Percy was shadowing me tomorrow. I looked at the school and walked in. I saw Miles and everyone else. I wonder if they were in this to. I would not be surprised. I mean they are all really good friends. I went up to them. 

¨Hey¨ said Miles. Everyone immediately followed so that I was welcomed with a chorus of hi's. I said hi to everyone but Miles.

¨What is wrong¨ he asked.

¨You know what is wrong.¨ I replied.

¨Huh.¨ was his reply. Is he this stupid.

¨ Why did you do it.¨ I asked.

¨Do what?¨ he asked. I was starting to get frustrated.

¨Why did you pay Cassidy to kiss Percy¨ I said.

¨I - I don't know what you are talking about.¨ he stuttered.

¨Don't lie to me Miles¨ I said. Why was he so hopeless.

¨Um. . . well, you se-¨ he said. Then the school doors opened and there was three gigantic hell hounds.
