3rd person POV
There was only a week before class at Goode High-school would start again and for once in his life, Percy was actually excited to get back. He couldn't wait to be able to mess around with his friends during lunch, prank teachers during class, intimidate freshmen, and most of all, to see his beautiful girlfriend every day again. Reyna had been gone the while summer with her family in Rome and he never stopped thinking of her.
"Dude. Dude?" Luke's voice snapped him out of his thoughts and back onto the bench in Central Park. "Yeah?" he replied slightly annoyed. "You were thinking of Reyna, weren't you?"his best friend snickered. "You have that dreamy gaze on your face again". Perry's face reddened slightly. "She's arriving today, right?" Percy asked, trying distract Luke. As if on cue, his phone buzzed. He checked his phone to see Reyna had texted him.
Reyna, Percy

"Reyna's back already! She wants to meet in the Jupiter Café. Let's go? "Percy asked. "Aw man, I gotta get home already, my mom's been texting me and it's already 7" Luke grumbled. His mom fostered lots of kids and expected him to be home early to help her prepare dinner.
They both grabbed their bikes and began to pedal slowly away from the bench. As they started to accelerate, Perry's mind was clouded with thoughts. "Why is Reyna back so soon? Not that it's a bad thing. I miss her. Is something wrong? She never says we need to talk in those exact wordings. Am I in trouble? Maybe I should tell her I was the one who accidentally dropped her salad and not Mrs. O Leary on her birthday. But kale sucks. Why do people even put in stuff. Reyna hates it when people are late. I should go faster. And what if her dad's there too. Oh look a butterfly! Reyna's really pretty. Like a butterfly. I rea-"
"Percy!" Luke shouted as Percy collided into a curly haired, blonde girl walking on the park streets. She hit the ground and Percy quickly jumped off his bike and ran to her. "You all right?" he asked as he checked his watch.
7:06
"Yess?" she answered while holding her arm which he could see had blood dripping down from it.
"I am so so sorry but I have to be somewhere right now" Percy hurried. He took a pen and some tissue from his pocket. "Here's my number and some tissues to use as a bandage. Luke here will help you and um…Bye!" he called as he shot both the girl and Luke apologetic glances and ran the rest of the way.
Annabeths POV
Me and Piper were walking to our dance studio "Studio Muse" as I was thinking of my next competition coming up 2 days from now."Pipes, I can't help getting nervous for the competition this week, especially considering that this one is a big one" I blurted out to her. "It's alright, everyone is" she smiled. "Just don't show Khione" she giggled. I joined her as we strolled around Central Park. "That girl is so annoying and conceited that I bet all 9 of the teachers would tell her off if they could". "She's really good though" I sighed. "Well so are you" Piper assured me. She really is my best friend. "You-
I was stopped midsentence when a some guy on a bike hit me suddenly and I blacked out for a few seconds.
"Annabeth!"Piper cried as I sat up. My vision was a bit blurred but I could see blood dripping down my arm. "Are you okay?" a guy with jet black hair at least that's what I think he said because my ears were ringing. "Yess?"I managed to mumble. He said a few more thing, handed me some paper and ran off. "How rude" I thought. I tried to get up but my ankle couldn't hold me and I almost fell back down before a guy with blonde hair and a scar on his eye caught me. "What's wrong?! " I heard Pipers voice cry out. Then I realized. I sprained my ankle right before the competition. "What an idiot" I muttered before blacking out again.

2 hours later
Percy lay in his bed, tired,sad, and heartbroken. He had gotten 5 calls by an unknown number,presumably the girl who he hit and 16 calls from Luke. But he didn't care because tomorrow morning at 10am,the girl he had loved and dated for a year was getting on a plane back to Rome.
And he would never see her again.
His phone buzzed and a text message came from an unknown number.
Unknown ,Percy

Then meet me on that day duh,4pm
Don't you think you're making a fuss over an elbow wound.

Whatever, I'll go
He knew he was being a bit inconsiderate but he was exhausted and tired and didn't have the strength to feel patient and caring after his break up.
With his luck,she'd probably end up going to his school.
