Show Me The World

Chapter 7

I stare at the closet and wait.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket indicating their time is up. I quietly walk over there and open the door slightly. You'll never believe what I saw.

They were kissing!!!! Oh my gosh!!!! What the heck?!?! I totally thought they wouldn't touch each other but...

"Wh–?" Leo starts but I shove my hand over his mouth. He sees Annabeth and Percy his eyes widen and I take my hand off his mouth.
Everyone else comes over to see what is on. Hazel needs to cover her mouth to keep for laughing.

"Someone had fun!" I say pushing the doors open. They push away from each other.

"Two people actually," Leo says smirking.

"Wow! If you were in there for five more minutes we would have little Percy and Annabeth babies," Frank says smirking along with the rest of us.

"It was a dare. We had to," Annabeth says and walks over to her seat. She sits down and crosses her arms. Percy looks a little hurt but quickly recovers. He walks over to his seat to.

"Yeah," Percy agrees.

"It looked like more than just a dare kiss," Hazel states. We all cross are arms and smirk crazy in sync, just like the movies.

"It wasn't. I hate him and on Monday he won't even remember my name. We will go back to not talking. You know it's true. Frank truth or dare," Annabeth says crossing her arms.

"Umm... truth," Frank answers.

The rest of the game was boring compared to that.

One thing they would never know was I actually set the timer for 10 minutes...

Percy's POV
I wish Annabeth likes me. If you didn't know she is the girl I like. I stare at her almost the whole game.

I honestly don't know what happened in that closet. One minute we were awkwardly standing there, the next we were kissing. It was the best kiss ever. Not joking. It was like we were meant for each other. Her lips against mine was the most natural feeling ever.

I couldn't believe we had kissed.

My life was magical.

I wanted to ask her out, but... when? I don't even think she likes me. I just wish there was something I could do to make her like me.

Annabeth's POV
I was ready to leave this party. I couldn't stay here with Percy. I totally like him (no point in denying it) but he hates me. It could never work. If only things were different...

"I'm gonna head out," I tell everyone after we finish 'Truth or Dare'.

"But you came with us. We aren't ready to leave," Hazel complains.

"I'll take a bus. I just want to leave. Bye, I had a great time," I tell them and walk out before anyone can stop me.

"What's a pretty lady like you doing all alone?" a strange male voice from behind me says while I was sitting on the bench next to the bus stop.

"I'm waiting for the bus. Can you please go?" I tell him.

"It dangerous on the streets this late. You need someone to protect you," he tells me sitting down on the bench.

"I can take care of myself. Can you leave. Now," I tell him trying to move away. He grabs my waste push me towards him.

"You want to get some sleep. My place is free," he try's to kiss me but I pull away.

"Leave me alone!" I yell.

"Your so beautiful you know that," he try's to kiss my neck but something else interrupts.

"She said go away. Now go before I call the cops," to my surprise Percy is standing there with his phone ready to call 911.

"I'm just trying to help her. You can't call the police on that can you?" I man asks.

"Well, when I was walking over here I saw a 'Wanted' poster with your picture on it. So you just might want to leave. Now," Percy says.

The guy runs away and I get up and hug Percy. He holds me tightly for a few minutes, then I realize what I'm doing and step away.

"I can take care of myself. I was handling it," I say and cross my arms.

"That sure looks like you were handling it," Percy mumbles.

"I was doing just fine on my own. Why did you even show up," I ask.

"That guy was a jerk and idiot, but he was right about one thing," Percy tells me.

"What's that?"

"It's dangerous for anyone to be out here alone."

"I'll be fine."

"I've got no doubt that you can take care of yourself, but I would feel so much better if you were with me. Can I at least take you home?" Percy looks at me with real concern. I can tell he cares, but... why?
