3rd Person POV

It had been a few months since Percy Jackson, Goode High's swim team captain and most popular guy in school had vanished from the face of the earth, or so it may seem to mortals. The demigods knew what really happened, after the giant war the seven plus Nico, Thalia and Reyna had went to school at Goode to watch over Percy and help him with his flashbacks about Tartarus.

Today Percy was extremely depressed, ever since Annabeth died because she was killed by Gaea Percy wasn't the same anymore. It was like he had no reason to be be joyful ever again. It was like he was dead even if he was alive, the light from his eyes faded and he avoided almost everybody.

Even the kids at Goode noticed the change in Percy's behavior. He used to be playful and carefree but now he had this type of sadness and depression about him. He rarely smiled, laughed, or even played around. He didn't even try out for he swim team. When he came back people were so happy but they sensed something terrible happened, also he had horrible flashbacks that made people stay away from him.

Percy was in Paul's English Class in the back of the class just staring out the window imagining why the fates just had to take Annabeth away from him. Then Paul came into class.

"Today class we will continue our unit of poetry starting with Edgar Allen Poe, has anyone ever read anyone of his poems"

A few hands went up including Thalia's and Nico's.

"When has Thalia and Nico ever read poems?' Percy thought

"Okay then good, at least we have some sort of background of him" Paul stated

"We are going to read one of his most famous poems"

"Annabel Lee" Paul continued

At that title Percy's head snapped at Paul. Paul, Thalia, Nico looked at Percy with nervous and worried expressions. The other students in the classed stared at their classmates and their teacher with odd expressions on their face wondering why they were staring at Percy.

"Ahem" Paul blinked and stopped staring at Percy when a student coughed.

"Anyway turn to page 374 in your textbook and start reading"

Percy quickly turned to the page and started reading the poem slowly and digesting every single word in that poem. He let out a small sob and started to cry, every student turned to look at Percy and looked at him with bewilderment and confusion. Here was the tuffest and most mysterious guy in school crying so hard with pain.

The painful sound of his sobs made everyone's heart clench especially Paul's, Nico's, and Thalia's knowing why he was like this. Thalia and Nico stood up and went over to comfort him.

"It's okay, she's in a better place now." Thalia said to him comfortingly while Nico rubbed his back, both looking pained. Now this made the rest of the students vey confused, so confused that one of them said "Wait, what is happening? I'm so confused!" He said with everyone agreeing with him

Thalia and Nico glared at him so hard that he cowered behind his jock friends. "Percy went through something that no one should ever go through" Nico said darkly causing some people to shiver with the coldness of his voice.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" The principal screamed shocked at the scene in front of him.
