ANNABETH

Annabeth was going to piss herself. It wasn't a joke, she really needed to go and pee but she was too scared too. She didn't need to see anything that she didn't need to, especially before she was ready to. But it looked as if this problem wasn't going to be solved anytime soon, and she'd have to go to the bathroom before she embarrassed Percy in front of everyone.

As their socials teacher, Mr. Brunner spoke about the French Renaissance, Annabeth squirmed in her seat. She fiddled with her pencil and bit it while staring up at the lights, praying that lunch would come soon. She let out a heavy, shaky breath and suddenly a hand was on her arm.

"Hey, Percy – are you okay?"

Sitting next to Annabeth was a redheaded, sparkly, green eyed girl. Racking her brain for an answer, she remembered this girl's name. She was Rachel Dare, she and Annabeth hadn't ever really talked. Annabeth did recognize her by her several art awards in the school district.

The concerned look on Rachel's face and warm touch on Annabeth's arm made her shiver and snap out of her day dream. Annabeth swallowed a cry and nodded.

"Yeah –"She said, clearing her throat, "I'm good thanks." She nodded and began to space out again, normally she paid attention in socials but today, she just couldn't bother to do much of anything. At least she was probably acting the way Percy normally did.

Annabeth took a quick glance across the room at Percy and sighed, Percy as Annabeth, wasn't doing much either. He was tapping his pencil at his side and had his head resting in his arms, he stared off into space.

Annabeth got a sudden attack from her bladder and she squirmed more. Rachel frowned and tapped Annabeth again and questioned her.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Rachel asked, grabbing Annabeth's shoulder. "Do you have a fever or something?" She said, raising her hand up to Annabeth's forehead. Annabeth started to get a small feeling that Rachel liked touching Percy. She needed to escape, she needed to pee.

Annabeth couldn't handle it anymore. Her hand shot up as Mr. Brunner stopped speaking midway.

"Yes? Mr. Jackson – please – can it be something important to say?"

"Can I go to the bathroom?" Annabeth shouted a little too loud, she clapped a hand over her mouth and sighed. Mr. Brunner frowned. "Please?"

"Fine." He said, motioning towards the door. Annabeth shot up and ran out the classroom, thankfully, straight across the hall were the bathrooms. Annabeth nearly grabbed the girl's bathroom door, she stopped herself, groaned and smacked the boy's bathroom door open. Annabeth ran quickly to a stall and winced, there were other people here. Thankfully at least someone wasn't using any urinals.

She didn't want her innocence stained.

Unfortunately, she had forgotten about Percy's… little friend. Because she pulled her pants down forcefully along with her underwear only to look down in fright. Annabeth held back her urge to smack her forehead into the stall door and blushed hard. She quickly looked away and fell onto the toilet seat. God, the amount of unsanitary things she was going through today.

Annabeth regretted every life choice she had made, but this one, by far was probably the worst. How was she supposed to piss with a – how? She began to do her stuff, and thankfully it was over, but she had to wipe. Grabbing some tissue, she stroked down quickly and patted away. Whilst pulling her pants up and flushing, she heard a shout.

"What the hell?"

"Get out of my way – did you see a dashing looking, black haired boy around here?" Annabeth heard the voice say, it sounded familiar. As she placed her finger on it, she opened the door to be face to face with herself.

"Oh god." She scowled. "What the hell are you doing in the boy's bathroom?"

"You're the one to talk – you're technically – "

Annabeth threw a hand over Percy's mouth and hissed. "Get out of here – " She said, pushing Percy out of the bathroom and patting her hands. The boy near the sink looked scared.

"Don't blab about what you just saw." She said, scowling and pushing him aside to wash her hands. Once done and out, Percy was ranting about how he had only gone in to check on Annabeth and make sure she wasn't going to piss on herself.

"So you thought it was rational to just enter the boy's bathroom?" Annabeth frowned.

"No – I just forgot I was a girl." Percy sighed, rubbing his face. "You go in first." He said, pointing to the socials room.

"Why can't we go in together?" Annabeth shrugged.

"If we go in together, people are going to think we hooked up. Especially with how long you took in the bathroom." Percy said, aggravated.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. "You don't have to read so much into social situations, no one's going to think we hooked up." She pushed the door open to see people packing up their bags and sitting on their desks, waiting for the bell to ring.

Mr. Brunner approached her with a frown.

"Mr. Jackson, I was beginning to think you skipped class. It took you exactly fifteen minutes to go and back, that's quite a while."

"Sorry, Mr. Brunner." Annabeth apologized and quickly ran away from the conversation. She picked her bag up and shoved the pencils into their case. Rachel was sitting on her desk, flipping through a textbook. When she approached, Rachel's head shot up.

"Hey, what took you so long?" She asked, Annabeth shook her head.

"There were lots of people in the bathroom." Annabeth said with a smile, Rachel nodded and rose and eyebrow.

"I'm sure. At least you seem to be feeling better. I wanted to ask you – "Rachel said, Annabeth swung her backpack over her shoulder and glanced at Percy standing by the door.

"I'll talk to you later, thanks." She said, patting Rachel's shoulder and walking towards Percy. She leaned on the wall and waited for the lunch bell to ring. Once it rang, Annabeth grabbed Percy by the arm and pulled him out the class.

"What – are you doing?" Percy said, struggling with his legs to keep up with his arms.

"We have to go to the library." Annabeth said. "We need to talk about this somewhere where there's like no one else. No one goes to the library at lunch."

"Uh – okay, just – let go." Percy said, pulling his arms away and panting as they approached the library doors. He pushed them open to the quietest room of all. He grabbed a table and threw a bag of chips on the table, he squeezed them open and began to chew.

"Okay, listen. What could have possibly gone wrong?"

Percy shrugged as he chewed. Annabeth smacked her head onto the table.

"Holy crap, do you not care?"

"The most uncomfortable part about this is the bra. I mean, not having a dick is pretty chill. Don't have to deal with boners or anything – also – all the teachers love you." Percy said, grabbing another chip. Annabeth's hand went into the chip bag and she sighed.

"Don't make me fat." She said, frowning as her forehead left the table.

"Also, look at this in a reasonable fashion. In all the movies, it's because the two people are having problems or they hate each other."

"I don't think that's our case." Annabeth said, shaking her head and chewing a salty chip. "I mean, it did seem like you and your friends have had it out for me. But it wasn't anything severe."

Percy shot up from his casual position. "Me and my friends? No way – it was always you. You'd throw us shady looks from across the room and you'd like make a face whenever I'd speak."

"No."

"Yeah."

"No way." Annabeth said.

"You're – you're doing it now! It looks really weird on me – don't do it again."

"Whatever, it looks like we're stuck like this," Annabeth waved her arms around. "For a while – so what are some rules that I need to know?"

"Well – as a guy – you could wake up with some morning wood." Percy nodded. "To get rid of that – either count to a hundred or you know-"Percy made a jerking motion. Annabeth cocked her head and squinted.

"What?"

"You know – the – "Percy kept talking, but then eventually leaned over and whispered into Annabeth's ear. "Jerk off."

"Holy –"Annabeth shouted, causing her to be shushed by the librarian. "No way, I'm not doing that."

"You don't have to. It won't go away for sure anyways, you just – have to deal. Hold up your books, wear a super baggy hoodie." Percy said. "Oh, yeah, there isn't much other than that. I mean, my mom doesn't really bother me that much and doesn't really make me stay home – so if you want to leave, you can."

"Okay, alright. Thanks."

"What about me? What do I need to know?"

"Well, there aren't really – uh – don't do anything stupid first of all. Secondly, my dad is chill with me leaving and my step mom doesn't care. Um – my brothers can get pretty annoying, keep things clean and just – overall be on time. That's about it. Also when you take a shower – "

"I'm not going to."

"Yeah, I hope not. Scratch that – just don't take a shower." Annabeth shook her head. Percy grabbed a cell phone from his pants and slapped it onto the table. Annabeth jumped.

"Hey – that's mine. Careful."

"Can I have your number? Er – mine? I don't remember it."

Annabeth's hands edged towards her pockets as she pulled it out.

"Why?"

"Well, what if there's something I need help with? Or the other way around? Just give me that." Percy said, snatching his phone from Annabeth's hands and setting the two next to each other. He typed in each number and handed the phone back.

Suddenly it buzzed, Annabeth jumped and stared at the text on the screen.

Hey

It read on the screen, it said it was from Annaboo Chase. Annabeth scowled.

"Don't start calling me that." She stared up at the clock on the wall when the bell screamed in her ears. She shot up and shook.

"Ah – um, what's your next class?" Percy asked, sliding the backpack around his shoulders. "Mine's gym, that's easy enough to find, right? After that – I have drama."

Annabeth nodded and said thanks. "I have French next, with Mrs. Curt and after that I have drama too."

"Okay, I think I got it. I'll see you fifth block." Percy said, shooting up and scuttling out of the library. Annabeth took a deep breath and closed her eyes, walking out of the library. She hoped she wouldn't have another bladder emergency soon.
