Chapter 1: Lauren Rivera

Hi. My name is Lauren Rivera. I'm fifteen, and I go to Goode High School.

I was about to ask my best friend, Annabeth Chase, if I could spend the night at her place. My whole family has the flu and I didn't want to get it, too. Besides, Annabeth was super smart and could help me finish my homework. I was seriously hoping she would say yes. I needed somewhere to spend the night and do my homework!

I leaned on the lockers casually, while Annabeth got her books out.

"Hey Annabeth, my family has the flu and I don't want to catch it, too. Is it okay if I spend the night at your place?"

Annabeth smiled. "I stay with my boyfriend, so I'll have to check with him. It would be lovely if you could stay!"

"Thanks!" I smiled back, and slung my bag over my shoulder as I walked off to my next class, Math.

But I didn't know that Annabeth had a boyfriend. She never told me!

SHE HAD A BOYFRIEND?!

I seated myself in Mr. Boring's class. Soon, class was over, and I rushed to my other classes. Eventually, it was lunch.

I sat next to Annabeth. "How was class?" I asked, as I munched on my sandwich.

"Good, except that Greek was a bit easy," she added, sipping her soda.

I never found Greek easy, but surprisingly, Annabeth did. And so did Percy.

Percy Jackson.

The hottest boy in the school, the swim team captain, and the boy who turned down the offers of the cutest girls in school, with the same answer every single time: "I already have a girlfriend."

There were so many rumors about him - some said he was dating a model, some said he was gay...

"Earth to Lauren," Annabeth snapped as she tapped my shoulder.

"Oh, sorry Annabeth. Pardon?"

The bell rang.

"Oops, talk to you later. Right now I have to check with my boyfriend if its okay for you to stay at his place," she replied quickly.

"Okay. See you at class," I called over her shoulder as she hurried out of the cafeteria.

~o0o~

I waited outside my next class, Marine Biology, as I heard Annabeth's voice talking to someone else's.

Then Annabeth suddenly emerged out of the back door with a huge smile on her face, then rushed to her next class.

In Marine Biology, we studied... Marine Biology. It was really boring, and then after that we had English. Easy day overall. I met Annabeth at the lockers as I shoved a textbook in my locker, pulling my backpack out.

"So?" I prompted.

"He said yes! So we can head over to his place now. He has detention," she replied, her smile soon fading.

"Oh... okay."

We reached the apartment building, and I reached toward the elevator button. Annabeth pulled my hand away from it.

"I...uhh... have this thing with elevators... can we take the stairs?"

"Sure," I agreed, and we climbed to the floor that her boyfriend's apartment was on. Annabeth rang the doorbell.

"Hi Annabeth! I see you've brought a friend with you?" Someone... who I figured was probably her boyfriend's mom greeted excitedly.

Annabeth smiled back. "This is Lauren. Her family is sick with the flu, so she's staying overnight."

"Sure! Lauren, you can put your stuff in Annabeth's room, not like she sleeps there anyways." She winked at Annabeth, who was blushing really hard. "Oh, and you can call me Sally."

"Okay, thanks Sally." I smiled back.

ANNABETH SLEEPS WITH HER BOYFRIEND?! AND THEIR PARENTS ARE OKAY WITH IT?!

I dumped my stuff in Annabeth's room and sat on the couch with my math homework. Annabeth was sketching something... an architectural design, perhaps.

"Where's Paul?" Sally asked worriedly, suddenly realizing the absence of her husband.

"Oh, he has detention duty," Annabeth muttered back, not looking up from her papers. "He should be back soon."

Just then, my English teacher, Mr. Blofis, walked into the apartment.

"Hi Lauren, hi Annabeth. Annabeth, your boyyyyfriend is coming up the stairs," he dragged. I never knew my English teacher had a sense of humor!

So Annabeth's boyfriend also had a problem with stairs... I continued my math homework.

The door creaked open. I continued doing my homework anyways, occasionally stealing a glance at Annabeth's papers. Then I looked up and saw... Percy Jackson.

He walked over to Annabeth, who yawned. "You look tired. You look like you need a hug!" Annabeth swatted his arms away.

"What about a kiss?" he prompted. He pressed his lips against Annabeth's.

"Perrrcy!" Annabeth blushed. "I'm doing my designs here!"

Percy stuck his tongue out at Annabeth. Then he turned to me.

"Nice to meet you, Lauren Rivera. I'm Percy Jackson."

And that was how I met Percabeth.

Don't forget to review and give me other ideas. Thx for reading!
