=Blog Entry #4 (Chapter fourteen-The Primitive Within)=

In this chapter, Percy and Elissa attends a party of their graduation class at the river. When Elissa picked up Percy in her Black VW bug, she asked him why he missed the second last day of his high school year. He was telling her that he was working on a book. But during his time on the book, Elissa knocked on his window but seemed to ignore her. She accepted his story that he didn't hear her then finally they arrived to their destination.During their time at the party, they noticed all of the tribes were dancing, talking and having fun. That night there were no boundaries, making them all as just one tribe. They both went to a place where they could be alone. Elissa handed Percy a bottle of beer, encouraging him to drink it. She told him to pretend that it was a tribal potion that can experience the tribe's inner world if he drinks it. As Elissa started to drink, Percy then followed. He had a hard time drinking the beer but started to adapt to it. After a few moments, they started to come closer. Elissa confesses to him that she cares for Percy, and they both leaned forward to kiss each other. This was Percy's first kiss ! He then explored her body, touching her back, and cupped her left breast. WHAT A GUY ! Anyways after that, she got angry at him after she was told that feeling her up was just an experiment. She stated that Percy needed to live a normal life and to stop the fake life by doing studies on what he observes or experiences. Out of nowhere, she said that his father didn't die, and she asked Percy the truth. Percy then denied her question stating what he said about his fathers death was true. Elissa kept her cool and told Percy she was leaving and offered him a ride. Percy couldn't move or speak, then shook his head, denying her offer. With a final good bye she then left the party leaving Percy behind.

There are a few things I like to discuss on what I liked and disliked about this chapter. The reason why I like this chapter was because Percy had his first kiss with his best friend Elissa ! This image reminded me of my first kiss, which was the greatest feeling ever! This made me very happy to read and it made me smile and laugh when he was exploring her body. If I was a host on a game show, I would of gave him 1000 points for being a man and making a move...even though he was a bit tipsy and not having a clear mind on what he was doing. When Elissa mentioned to Percy that his father didn't die and wanted the truth, this got me thinking why Elissa would even say that. But it gave me a feeling of Foreshadowing ! The thing that I disliked about this chapter is when Percy admitted that kissing and feeling up Elissa was just an experiment. There are things you don't say or admit to a girl, and this is one of them. After I read that part, I thought the two would end up being a couple that night and everything would be okay. But no, it got worst after Percy denied Elissa's offer in giving him a ride home, leaving everything that was special night, to a night that broke a friendship apart. Now I'm curious what will happen next !
