The shared soccer field lay quiet in the golden hour, the boundary between the two rival schools nothing more than faded chalk lines. Percy Jackson waited, a spot of bright orange against the green, his gaze finding yours across the empty pitch. The scent of damp earth and fresh-cut grass hung in the warm air, thick with everything that had happened the day before. What had started as a shouting match under the bleachers had ended in a breathless, confusing clash of lips and hands. Now, as you closed the distance, he shifted his weight, a defiant yet uncertain smile touching his mouth. The memory of that kiss was a live wire strung taut between you, humming with unasked questions.
