I sure do. Thank you all for all of your reviews to my other story. They really touched my heart! I love all of my readers I hope you like this story as well. Also some of you want me to continue my other story. So I decided after this story I will make kind of like a second book to Surprise. So I think we should start the story now! Agree? xoDorellexo A BIG THANKS TO MY BETA READER The Urban Spectacle SHE IS AWESOME! Chance- A possibility or probability of anything happening. Summary: Annabeth does not believe in love after her heart break. Until Percy came. Can the gods give her a second chance at love? Or will her heart wither and die? Annabeth POV
I walked in the school with the usual stares from all the teenage heart throbs in school. When I strolled up to my locker I saw a girl crying and her friend comforting her. I couldn't help but hear little snippets of their conversations.
"I can't believe David broke up with me!" she said through sobs.
Her friend rubbed her back and continued to comfort her.
"There are plenty of fish in the sea. Come on, today is Friday. There's a party at Rachel's house. Let's go and find you a new guy!"
After her attempt to help her, the girl just sobbed even more.
"I just thought (hiccup) that we had something special," she said.
Finally she calmed down and went to the bathroom to fix herself.
"Poor girl," I said to myself.
When I looked at the clock I saw that I still had 20 minutes. I sat down on a bench and started looking around. Suddenly my thoughts shifted to the girl who had her heart broken. The way she sobbed over one guy. That's exactly why I don't date. Not after my first heart break. My mind swirled into the memory.
(Flashback)
"Nooooo!"
Head lights smashed. The pain. The burning sensation hit me like a hurricane.
I heard a terrible crash and saw red.
(End flashback)
The hot slices of memories hit me. Suddenly, I felt tears pool in my eyes. I quickly wiped them away and grabbed my stuff. I headed out of the courtyard and went to my first class: Math. Looking around, I found Thalia, my best friend. Me, Thalia, and him used to be the golden three. Now I can't even stand to say his name. The reason why I liked Thalia: she understood me in a way that's unexplainable.
Immediately she looked in my eyes and whispered in my ear.
"Memories?"
I nodded my head. See what I mean? How could anyone else figure that out? It's amazing how she does it. Suddenly, Mrs. Baker walked in with a tall and athletic teenage boy. He had jet black, messy black hair. But what caught my attention was his eyes. The swirled like the waves in the ocean. They were green and blue with just a hint of sparkle. It was amazing how much they resembled the ocean.
I shook my thoughts away. I don't need another teenage heart throb in my life. They'll just leave. Just like him.
The teacher suddenly called my name. It caught me off guard and I almost fell out of my chair.
"Here," a tiny voice sounded but was not mine. I looked at Thalia with eyes of gratefulness. At least I know I can trust someone in this world.
"Ms. Chase. What's the answer to question number 4?" Mrs. Baker asked.
I looked down at my paper and picked a random answer.
"A?"
Mrs. Baker looked slightly surprised. "Well the answer is correct but please pay attention in class."
I finally pulled my focus away from my thoughts and onto the black board.
The rest of the morning went slowly but lunch eventually came. While I was in line, a guy named David Grove called to me.
"Hey cutie. Wanna cut me?" I recognized his name from earlier.
"No, I wouldn't want to cut a guy who broke a girl's heart." I yelled back at him.
For a moment he was shocked at my comment, but turned around and didn't say anything. This is one reason why I don't date. They just think after they break up with a girl they can grab a new one a break her heart too!
I got my lasagna and sat at my usual table. Suddenly, Percy frantically walked up to me.
"Can I please sit at your table?" his voice sounding desperate. I looked around and saw his dilemma.
Brittany the school's cake face was chasing after him. Out of sympathy I let him sit. I bent over and said in his ear.
"Brittany chasing after ya?" I said.
"Yes."
I nodded. "I'm Annabeth."
"Percy."
I looked at his tray and saw he had turkey on rye. He used to eat that all the time. Why are all of my thoughts suddenly shifting to Luke?
I almost toppled over but Percy luckily caught me. I stood there in shock.
"Are you okay?"
I just nodded failing to find my voice and use my words.
"Thank you."
He just nodded. He looked at my eyes the way Thalia does.
"Memories?" he guessed.
I looked at him with shock.
"How did you know?"
No one could ever do that except Thalia and apparently him.
"Your eyes."
Suddenly, Thalia popped next to us.
"What did I miss?" she said.
This time it was Percy who almost fell off.
"Thals, I think you know Percy, right? Percy, Thalia."
Thalia just nodded. Surprisingly, miss-cake-face-Brittany came up to our table.
"Did you here about Rachel's party, Percy?" she said, batting her eyelashes.
I let out a little giggle. Did she know how stupid she looked? Percy flashed me a grin. Brittany glared daggers at me.
Boy, if looks could kill... I thought, not even finishing the sentence.
"So Percy, you're invited to come."
"Am I allowed to bring tag-alongs?"
Brittany looked at me.
"What, you mean her?" she said.
"Not necessarily but if I did would that be okay?"
Brittany looked at me and slowly nodded her head. When she was gone I hit him on the head.
"Ouch!" he said, looking at me.
"Are you crazy?" I whispered.
"What did you do that for?"
I hit him on the head again.
"To knock some sense into you!"
I looked at Thalia, who was gazing at us delightedly.
"Okay, okay! Jeez, sorry!" Percy said.
"Aw, it was just about to get good! Why did you ruin it with an apology?" Thalia pouted.
I just rolled my eyes, grabbed my bag, and went to my next class. 30 minutes early, I decided to sink into my thoughts. Love. Really? That's the first topic that pops in my head? Love? A memory whirled in my mind again.
(Flashback)
Hand in hand he and I walked down the beach. We stopped beside a cliff and sat at its edge.
The waves crashed in the background. All we were focused on was each other.
"I love you". I whispered.
(End flashback)
That last sentence meant nothing now. He was gone. That sentence disappeared with him.
Love.
Love is like Russian Roulette, you might be spared, but you might get a bullet straight in the heart.
For me, I got that bullet. Right where it hurt the most.
A/N Like the ending? I do! The second chapter is almost done! So hang on tight kiddos!
