Chapter 2

Another chapter! In this on Annabeth meets the 'lovely and perfect' Rachel. I just wanna repeat that if you're a fan of Rachel and love her, you shouldn't read this story. I don't hate her but I always found her as Annabeth's greatest competition with Percy. I bet you're tired of me babbling so, read on!

Annabeth P.O.V.

When lunch rolled in I was walking to the cafeteria and bumped into someone. A red-haired girl with a slutty low cut green shirt and a very short matching shirt.

"Watch it! You ruined my make-up! What will Percy think of me know?"

"Uh, excuse me?"

"Well I'm finally meet my future boyfriend's soon-to-be ex-friends. Now move, bitch!"

She rushed to the bathroom. Percy huh? Probably a popular girl from his club. I went to meet Thalia again and we talked for a few minutes, then we entered the cafeteria and saw the slutty clothes girl talking to Percy. For the first time he didn't look disgusted. He was talking animatedly. She was seating in my seat. Huh, Percy seems to let everyone sit in my seat and then says that he cares about me.

I told Thalia that I was going to try to make him guilty again. She grinned at me and wished me luck. Linking hands we both walked to the table and sat down. I turned my head towards Percy and saw that he hadn't noticed me.

"Hey Seaweed brain." His head shot toward me, "you said you cared a lot about me but still gave my seat to her." I pointed to the slutty looking girl, "care to clarify things?"

"Uh, Annabeth I'm sorry. But this is Rachel."

"You're kidding me? Ohhh, you're not kidding? So that's what you mean at the hallway. About me being a bitch?"

"Annabeth stop it," Percy gritted his teeth.

"You seriously take her side! Percy she called me a bitch!" I turned to Rachel, "ohhhh, so that's what you meant. Your future boyfriend's soon-to-be ex-friends." If looks could kill, I would be dead, Rachel's glare would be terrorizing, if I wasn't that angry already.

"Annabeth! Stop it! Why are you being so mean to her! You don't even know her!" There were tears in my eyes and the whole school was watching us now. "Seriously Annabeth! Stop acting stupid!"

Thalia looked at him like she wanted to kill him. Rachel has a triumphant smirk on her face. I held back tears. Everyone knew being called stupid was the worst insult for me, and now my best friend is calling me stupid. Percy finally realized his mistake, and his eyes widen.

"Annabeth I'm so-" he was reaching out for me but I stumbled backwards.

"No." All my insecurities and feelings hit me like a truck, a lone tear slid down my cheek. "Rachel was right. She was meeting your soon-to-be ex-friends. But for me it was too soon."

I stumbled away, tears streaming down my face, until I reached the bathroom. I heard Percy shout at me to come back. I also heard a slap that was probably Thalia. A moment later Thalia came and comforted me. Saying that Percy was the idiot and that if he chose Rachel over me she wasn't speaking to him ever again.

Someone knocked on the door.

"If it's you Percy get out!" Thalia shouted with hatred in her voice.

"No, it's Nico. Please come out."

Since it did sound like Nico we went out. I was still crying. It was really Nico. Nico told us that he saw what happened and that he already shouted at Percy for being a dick.

"I told him that if it kept going I would run off with you two and not talk to him ever again. Who does he think he is calling you stupid? He declared himself an idiot by saying that."

After a few minutes I managed to stop crying and pull myself together. Just in time to look at the time. I almost screamed as I saw what time it was, I missed half a class! Thalia asked if we could just skip since there were only two classes and a half left. Nico went back to his class since he had come out here with the excuse of going to the bathroom. We went to Thalia's house because my dad was at work and My stepmom is at home, we are on good terms but I prefer being at Thalia's house.

We talked about girl stuff, especially the boys we like.

"So, how's Nico? Thals."

"Uh, he's so cute! It was really nice of him to help you out like that. So, what about Percy?"

"I don't know Thalia. I really don't. I love him so much, he's my best friend, my other half. But he's obviously In love with Rachel. Look at her she's hot, I'm not. She's talented, I'm not. She's beautiful, I'm not. She stole Percy Jackson heart, I didn't." At this point I was just rambling on, drowning in self-pity.

"Don't worry owl freak, you're cuter than her and better than her in so many ways. She stupid and self-centered. You are the most intelligent girl in our class. No, in our school. You may be rude, but you help others when they need help. If Percy falls for her then he's the most idiotic idiot the world could ever have."

"Thanks Thals. I needed that."

It was around five o'clock when I decided to set home. As I was walking back, I saw something that broke my heart, ripped it in a million pieces. I watch as I see Percy and Rachel break away from their kiss.

I let out a little gasp of shock. I really thought that I had a chance with Percy. That he would see how selfish Rachel was, and that I was there.

Percy spots me and I can see regret in his eyes, even from far away. Rachel, not surprisingly, had a smirk on her face. I turn around and run as fast as I could away from them. When I got home, I saw that there were a bunch of messages on my phone and most of them were from Percy. I ignored them and saw that there were a few anonymous ones.

The first one said: Be careful bitch. I could ruin your life with a snap of my fingers.

The next one: ignoring? Two can play that game, but since I'm not a freak like you, let's settle this, Percy doesn't care about you. Can't you just see that? You're a freak and you only have friends that are freaks. Percy sees right through your blond charm and you get mad since he doesn't bow down to you.

The next one: do you know how Percy's lips feel? Wait you don't know! Hahahahahaha! So funny actually, how much you think he loves you and the next second he falls head over heels for another girl.

I stopped reading then. Tears were burning in my eyes, and then I mentally smacked myself.

They're just trying to scare you, to make you feel bad, I told myself. But what if it's true, a small voice in my head told me.

Hope you liked it! Question: Do you think this story is a waste of time?

Question of the Chapter (QotC): Do you have a pet? If yes, what animal?
