Stella Eister's POV
I was walking toward Goode High. It was another day. I was already nervous. I couldn't believe the most Popular boy of the school was my friend. That guy was Percy Jackson. Not to mention that I had a teensy weensy crush on him. Everyone did! At least I am not like my BFF Lindie Stadtlander who was downright obsessed with Percy. I had a boyfriend, however and his name is Carl Gilman. He had bright blue eyes. Dark hair, and amazing abs. Percy on the other hand had perfect abs. But I prefered Carl. Carl and Percy were like brothers! They constantly went to each others houses for sleepovers.
My BFF Lindie was Carl's adopted sister. She came in to the family at age 11 and refused to change her name. It worked out eventually. Lindie was weirded out that I was dating her brother. But she dealt with it knowing that if Carl and I got married Lindie and I would be related.
As soon as I arrived at school I was facing a red-faced Carl. Did I mention prom was in a month? I looked at him, "Carl what on earth is wrong?" Carl smiled and blushed even more (if that was even possible, let's say it is!) "Well Stells, prom is in a month... So would you be my date?" I sighed. "Carl we have been dating for a year and a half. And you are still asking me with a tomato face!?" Carl mumbled something unintelligible. "Sorry Carl, what was that?" Carl looked up and said, "It doesn't help me knowing that you are so beautiful everyday I see you I am speechless." Now it was my turn to blush. I grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss. Lindie came rolling her eyes, "Enough lovebirds cut the PDA!" I smiled and grabbed Carl's hand.
Carl went over to Lindie and said, "I was talking to Percy. He has flowers in his locker. They say, To my one and only Wise Girl. I asked him to describe her and he said, blonde hair that curls like a princess, beautiful and intimidating gray eyes. She is a runaway. But she is athletic, smart, loves architecture has dyslexia and ADHD. She is also beautiful and amazing." Lindie smiled.
I am sure she thought she fit the description, but truth be told, she has light blue and gray eyes. She isn't intimidating at all! Also her hair was frizzy. Not really like a Princess. She also isn't a runaway. Her parents died. She wasn't the most athletic or can be considered as smart, and since when did she have dyslexia? Lindie had ADHD, that was all. But I decided to let her live the dream. I guess that was mean but... I don't know what else I could do. She wouldn't listen to me either way!
After a while Percy came in. By this time we were all seated in English. Percy's stepfather started the lesson. He said, "Today we have a new student. Her name is-" Here he was cut off by Percy screaming, "Her name is Annabeth Chase!" sighed, "Yes Percy that is correct. Now please take your seat. As soon as he did the door was opened. In stepped a stunning girl. She had long blonde hair that looked exactly like a Princess's. Her eyes were startling gray and sharp with intelligence, but soft at the same time. She had an amazing athletic build just like a model. Percy leaped up from his seat and screamed, "Wise Girl!"
Wise Girl, Wise Girl... Where have I heard that? Oh right that is nickname of the girl Percy has flowers for! She does fit into the description... Oh crap! My BFF will never get over it! As I looked over to her I was scared of what I might see. On my BFF's normally smiling face was a look of pure loathing. I hope she wouldn't do anything she will regret in the future!
Lindie POV
How could she! I was prepared for the best day of life when Percy would finally ask me out. Then she just came in and took Percy! I need to find out more about this Annabeth girl! I turned my attention back to. I was trying to stop my burning eyes from leaking out tears. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Stella look at me with concern. I also saw Carl looking at me with an apologetic smile. How could he smirk! He already had a beautiful girlfriend! I looked at , he looked at me sadly. Even he knew I liked Percy. Wait no, I loved Percy! Why did he not tell me that Percy already has a girlfriend! Wait. Percy has always told us he had a girlfriend. I thought it was just an excuse to stay away from the sluts! I wiped my tears away with the back of my sleeve and stormed out of the classroom. No one followed me though.
I rushed to the Girl's Bathroom and locked myself in a stall. With that I started crying. It wasn't silent tears. It was full out crying and bawling and screaming. In a few minutes a girl knocked on my door. I didn't open it. I just went on crying until my whole body went limp. Then I just sat on the toilet staring into the door. Then right then and there I made a resolution. I will keep Percy and Annabeth apart.
Soon enough the Lunch Bell rang. I grabbed my bag and rushed into the Cafeteria into the view of Percy and Annabeth displaying PDA that even Carl and Stella would be surprised to see. I ran up to the couple and tapped Percy on the shoulder, "Hey Perce, why are you making out with her when your soul mate is here!" I stopped shocked at my words. Percy looked at me with wonder and said, "Uh sorry, wha?" I yelled at him, "I SAID, WHY ARE YOU DATING HER AND NOT ME!" Annabeth was looking at me with a you're dead glare in her eyes. Percy reached over to Annabeth and replied, "Because Lindie, Annabeth here is the love of my life. she was there for me when no one else was. She was there for me when you weren't Lindie. She is the other half of me." After that speech he looked at Annabeth. Annabeth was crying too. Percy started comforting her saying things like, "Really Annabeth? You don't cry when we are fighting, but you cry over this? Really?" I ran away tears flowing onto my clothes.
I never fully recovered from the heartbreak. It broke my heart even more when I received the invite to Percy's wedding. I guess Perindie would never happen...
