Annabeth's Flashback

Where are we going?

Annabeth?

Annabeth, can you please, say something?

Annie?

Do NOT call me Annie.

Do NOT ignore me, then. Where are you taking us? And them?

Just wait and you'll see.

***

"I was waiting. For more than an hour, to be honest."

Waiting? For what? For who?

"You don't seem to be the kind of guy who could wait still for an hour"

He took a step in her direction. She didn't took a step back.

Ahn, Annabeth? He is getting close. Can we get out of here?

Hush.

"You're right, I'm not. But I would do anything for my Wise Girl."

Annabeth, who exactly is this guy? You never said his name.

Annabeth?

I have a bad feeling about this.

He took another step and looked down at her eyes.

Please, please, let me get out of here!

Then she smiled.

"You always say the most perfect things"

And then she pulled him down by the neck with both hands and kissed him.

NOOOOOO! STOP IT RIGHT NOW! ANNABETH! DON'T YOU DARE! STOP KISSING PETER! ANNABEEEEEEEEEEETH!

Annabeth let go of Percy.

What now?

What!? You need to ask 'WHAT'!? You're a smart girl, I'm pretty sure you can FIGURE IT OUT! But to make no room for mistakes, I'll say. YOU KISSED HIM!!!!

Because he is my boyfriend! His name is Percy, I talked about him since the first day!

Well, he is not MINE! And this body is STILL MINE! I have the right to choose the actions you'll take. So far I haven't said anything because I thought you're rational!

I AM rational.

So this guy has the ability to make you loose your rationality, because you would know you had no right to kiss him, Peter or Percy, I don't care which, with my body!

"She is giving you a hard time, huh?"

I'm just saying what you know it's right!

"Yes, she wasn't very happy with the kiss."

Happy? Wasn't VERY happy with the kiss?? What I am right now is VERY ANGRY. Scratch that. I'm DOWNRIGHT FURIOUS!!!

"I don't regret it"

"Me neither"

What are you doing??? Are you deaf?? How do you dare to repeat it!?

"Calm down, it's just a hug!"

Justa hug!? A hug!? I don't trust you anymore, Miss Annabeth! Let him go.

It's just a hug.

"So what now? Do you know how we got here? And how to get out?"

LET. HIM. GO!

Okay, okay, I will.

"No,none. Annie and I are made a list with facts and we're trying to think of theories, but nothing yet."

Oh, now you remember me??? What about when you're kissing him??

Well, it would be a little awkward if I kissed my boyfriend thinking about you, right?

Don't sass me!

"Don't worry, you are my Wise Girl, if someone can get us out of this mess, it's you. And remember, you don't have to do it alone. You have me. And Piper, Jason and Frank."

Who?

My other friends. Huh, I guess we're all here?

So they probably invaded someone else's body too? Good, at least I don't feel like the universe hates only me.

Flashback over, back to the present

Annabeth was outside school, surrounded by her other genious classmates.

Are you still angry with me?

Of course!! You made me kiss.... that!

He is not that bad.

No, he is not, he is worse!

You said you don't hate him.

But I said I don't like him! The only reason I didn't hated him was because he stayed out of my way, not because he kissed me!

It was just a kiss, and it was brief.

Only because I started screaming!

I'm sorry, ok?

Humpf.

Wait, that was not your first kiss, right?

Of course no!

Okay then.

One of Annie's friends, Jared, looked behind her and snickered.

"There he goes."

She didn't need turn to look who was, she had a pretty good idea. But she asked anyway.

"Who?"

"Johnson. You didn't told us what you said to him"

"Oh, nothing important."

Suuuuure, you didn't say anything important, you just kissed him!

And I already said I'm sorry.

So you won't do it again?

Well...

That's what I thought.

"He told you why he was outside our room?"

"Yes, he did."

At that, all her other friends were looking at her.

"And?"

"And he asked me to keep secret and I will."

"A secret? From us?"

"Yes."

I don't know which one is worse, make me look like the kind of girl who would trust and be loyal to someone like him and keep his secret, or admit he was there because he was possessed by a guy who dates the girl that possessed me and he missed her and wanted to kiss her, even if none of these bodies belong to any of them.

You don't know which one is worse?

Both sounds like I lost my mind, so no, I don't.

Another friend, Barbara, made a disgust face.

"Great, here she comes. I was surprised she wasn't with him outside our room."

Who is she talking about?

With that much disgust in her voice? Probably Sirena.

And who is she?

Your boyfriend's girlfriend.

WHAT!?

Annabeth turned, and sure enough a brunnete was clinging on his arm, trying to draw his attention. Percy was obviously uncomfortable, trying to disentangle himself from her.

Percy has another GIRLFRIEND??

I would love to say yes, so you won't talk to him again or kiss him. But I can feel the pain you feel with this idea, so I have to say that no, your boyfriend only dates you. But he is stuck in Peter's body, and Peter does have a girlfriend. And annoying and slutty one, by the way.

At that moment, Percy met her eyes, and she could read how sorry he was.The girl used that moment to grab him by the neck and kiss him full on the lips.

Annabeth turned around quick and tried to keep the hurt out of her eyes.

***

Annabeth was pacing in her room for the last twenty minutes.

Can you stop that?

What?

Planning Sirena's murder? You're starting to scare me.

Didn't know you had such a weak stomach.

It's not what you're planning that you COULD do that scares me. It's how you actually WOULD do it.

Well, she kissed my boyfriend!

She thinks he is her boyfriend, which he kind of is.

What side are you on?

Considering your latest actions, I'd gladly say her, if not for the fact that I HATE her with all my strenght.

You didn't hated Peter but you hated his girlfriend?

He was smart enough to stay out of my way. That... girl, was determined to make my life a hell.

I thought you'd deal with her without any problems.

Normally I would, but don't be mistaken, that girl is smart; unfortunaly, she is more of the type 'mastermind behind the perfect crime'.

So she would make your life a hell, without looking she was doing it?

And without anything that I could trace back to her, yes.

Why?

Who knows? Because I'm a nerd? Smarter than her? Never cared about her? Now that I think about it, I think I remember when it started.

When?

When I didn't know who she was.

What?

The first time I saw her, during a gym class, I named myself captain. I was the smartest one there, so no surprises. She came to me and said she should be captain. I asked her why. She just said 'Because my name is Sirena'. Obviously, I thought it was a stupid reason, so I ignored her. But now I think if that wasn't a threat. Like a mafia's boss, when he delivers his card, and everybody pleases him because they recognize his name? Maybe she said her name like a warning that she would make my life a hell if I said no?

I don't think it matters.

Why not?

Because I doubt you'd obey her in the next case. You're proud just like me, and we would NEVER bow to a... girl like her.

We need a mean nickname for her.

I can speak greek.

Do you know how to curse in greek?

Oh, yes.

Okay, maybe you're not that bad. As long as you don't kiss him again.

No promises.

And we were getting along so well...
