Heartbreakers
Chapter 1
I strutted into the main hallway of Goode High, as usual. I had parked my red Ferrari in the first parking spot that was reserved for me, and always would be. Being the daughter of a CEO and having my slim figure and long, blonde hair, I knew for a fact that every guy here at Goode High desired me. Yes, that included Joe, the school's hot star quarterback to Bobby, winner of the Math Olympiad three years in a row and the best-looking nerd you'll ever find. Sometimes I gave them what they wanted. Sometimes I didn't. I liked playing the game, and they did too.
Except Percy Jackson. That guy is a piece of work. He is arguably the hottest guy at our school, with his jet black hair, muscular and fit figure, great personality and oh those sea green eyes - not to mention captain of the Goode Swim Team. 100% of the student body envied him. 95% of the girl population has asked him out, to no avail.
The remaining 5% of hope is me, Tamara Sue. To be honest, I've been waiting. Waiting for the day where Percy Jackson would walk up to my locker and ask me to the movies or to lunch, just like the other guys did.
It's been almost half a year and it hasn't happened yet.
To say that I'm disappointed doesn't cover it. I'm furious that he doesn't find me attractive. Or maybe he doesn't think I'm rich enough. I mean, what other reasons are there?
So today, I was initiating the Capture Percy Jackson Plan. I would wait for him by his locker after school and then ask him out. Ah, there he was.
"Hi, Percy," I said with a sweet smile.
"Hey," he said, packing his stuff and not even turning to look at me. Ugh!
"I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me tonight?" I said, battering my eyelashes in case he turned to look.
"Sorry, but I've got plans," he said, closing his locker and turning to look at me. And oh, those eyes are going to be the death of me. "I'm quite busy, you see."
"Oh. When do you have time?" I said, keeping my hopes up that he'd give me a Yes.
"I'm, uh, always busy. Speaking of which, I gotta go now. Bye!" With that, he ran off into the parking lot.
Oh my god. Did he just reject me? He did, didn't he. What the hell.
What plans did he have anyway? What is the so called plans that he had that were better than spending time with me?!
In one decisive moment I followed him to the parking lot. I felt like a stalker but I didn't care. I needed to know.
He was running, so it was hard for me to keep up without him noticing. He ended up stopping in a secluded corner at the side of school and then he stopped...
"Hey, Wise Girl," he said with a huge grin, facing the wall. "Where do you want to go today?"
Was he talking to me? I better answer-
"Seaweed Brain, you're late!" a new voice said playfully. "How was school?"
Who was this? I turned the corner and there he was, with a beautiful girl. I immediately hated her. She was prettier than me. Her eyes were stormy gray and held their own power, like Percy's. She had this aura of wisdom. I was no match for her. No wonder he turned everyone down.
"Fine, except this one annoying girl asked me out. I don't even know her name," he said.
What?! He didn't even know my name?! Was Percy Jackson even human?
"Pfft. I should transfer to Goode," the girl said with a smirk.
"We should just stay at Camp," Percy replied, and they both smiled endearingly at each other. And with that, the make-out session began.
I walked away, the feeling of being rejected hitting me for the first time.
