Prologue
My name is Annabeth Chase. I'm eighteen-years-old with grey eyes and blonde hair. I only have one friend at my school, Goode High. That friend is Thalia Grace, who has spikey black hair and electrifying blue eyes.
At Goode, there are two rival gangs, the Tridents and the Kronos. The Tridents are led by Thalia's cousin, Percy Jackson, who has messy black hair and sea-green eyes. The Kronos are led by Luke Castellan, a boy with a scar on his face and sandy blonde hair with the typical blue eyes.
Every year, a game goes on between the two rival gangs. Percy and Luke would call a truce for a day and choose a girl. The next day, the game is on. The game is that either Percy or Luke has to...have sex...with the girl. The said girl is alerted that she is the target when a red card, placed by either one of Percy or Luke's cronies, is put in her locker. The poor girl is forced to constant flirting and seductions.
But there is a...condition...so to say. The boys start the game from mid-September to early-January. If the girl doesn't submit to their constant seductions, the girl stops being a target, and new girl is chosen. But if the girl subjects, either boys have their way with her, and then they throw her away, to be forgotten. I've never worried about being chosen. I mean, I'm a loser. The only girls that are chosen are the popular girls.
Some "lucky" girls are chosen to be girlfriends, at least for a short while. Take for example, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She was chosen about two years ago, and she submitted to Percy within a week. They've been dating ever since. And now, this will be the last of the game, known as the 'Red Card Game', since we will be graduating this year.
But what I've heard is that something is going to change. The standards of the girl. She's supposed to be a girl who is tough, one that never had a boyfriend. I know that I fit those standards, but nothing has happened yet. So that's why I'm so laid back. Because I will never be chosen.
Oh dear God, was I wrong.
