Percy POV

I was pushed into a locker as my books sprawled onto the floor.

"Watch where you're walking Jackson." Luke Castellan called as he and his cronies stalked past with smug smirks across their faces.

I reached down to pick up my books and out of the corner of my eye I could see a cute blonde girl reach down to help me. She looked up to hand me my books and we locked eyes and I realized that it was Annabeth Chase, the most attractive and smartest girl in the entire school.

"Thanks Annabeth, I appreciate the help." I remarked coldly. Annabeth was after all Luke's gorgeous girlfriend, I didn't need him giving me more shit over flirting with his girl.

I turned to walk away but Annabeth grabbed my arm. I felt an electric jolt run from her fingertips up my arm and throughout the rest of my body. It felt as though I had touched the metal prongs of a chord while trying to plug it into an outlet. It sent me into a frenzy and alerted me to everything around me, like an energy high.

I took in my surroundings. The school hallway was crowded with tons of Goode High's students. Annabeth stood directly to my left, her shining blonde hair in a beautifully done braid down her back. She drew my attention as an angel would in pitch black darkness. Beautiful, strong, and yet temporary. I knew her attention wouldn't last; I might as well make the most of it.

"Percy," She said "Listen, I'm sorry about Luke. He can be a real douche sometimes."

"Yeah," I said "I can see that. Just do me a favor, keep him out of my face and everything will be great."

"Percy, don't be this way. Luke doesn't mean to be like that. He's actually really nice, you just need to get on his good side." She told me.

"Oh I'm sure, and how exactly would I do that?" I asked "By getting on my knees and kissing his ass? Not gonna happen. Did you ever just maybe give the thought the time of day and realize that you're dating an asshat?"

Hurt flashed across her face but I didn't care, did I? I mean, how could I? She was the property of my biggest tormentor.

"I gotta get to class," I told her "See you Chase."

With that I turned and walked away leaving the stunning Annabeth Chase to her thoughts.
