Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase were the kind of people who would actually stay together and get married and have three children. That's what everyone thought, at least. That is, until one fateful Friday.
It was the summer after the war. They'd been acting just as much in love with each other as last summer, but there'd been rumors…rumors about cracks in the façade of the perfect couple. Rumors about an unidentified boy sneaking out of the Athena cabin, of Percy Jackson disappearing and coming back with lipstick on his face, although Annabeth had been nowhere near him.
And on that fateful Friday, it blew up. The façade crumbled. Percy Jackson had come into the Athena cabin to surprise Annabeth and he had caught Annabeth making out with Connor Stoll. Now, they were standing outside screaming at each other.
"I cannot believe that you would cheat on me, Annabeth! Gods, I hate you!" Percy screamed.
Annabeth was clinging to Connor, who held her protectively. "Don't act like this is any different from you, Jackson! I know you were cheating on me with that slut Gardner!"
The other Half-bloods whispered amongst themselves, trying to figure out which gardener Percy was cheating on Annabeth with.
"Percy?" a new voice asked. He turned to see Katie Gardner weaving through the throngs of campers, suitcase in tow.
"Katie, I thought you were arriving tomorrow," he said nervously.
"No, I told you today. I specifically told you today." She looked around at the people gathered around the couple, at Percy screaming at Annabeth, who still clung to Connor Stoll. "Percy, you told me that you two were over. I remember, you said that you broke up. You…you lied to me." Katie turned and ran towards the woods. Percy made to go after her, but Travis Stoll shoved him aside. No easy feat.
"Don't even think of going after her." Travis said darkly.
"Why shouldn't I? What do you about her?" Percy asked in the same tone.
"I'm her friend. That's more than can be said for you." With that, he turned and ran after Katie.
There are five sides to this story. But that doesn't mean that any of them are actually the truth.
