Summary: Goode High School has two groups. The Rich & the Poor. Annabeth is a poor, alone girl who's life is completely messed up. Percy is a rich guy who has a life that everyone wishes they had.

Chapter 2: Destiny
Percy's POV
I can't believe her! I mean seriously! She's supposed to be my sister! I'm just trying to help her but NO! She has to listen to a Blondie who she just met today! Oh one day she will see how wrong she was. I mean she will get in so much trouble not only with the school but with our parents too! Worst of all, they're going to blame it on me!
I sat the lunch table thinking about my last encounter with my girlfriend, Bianca, (LOL I'm so funny aren't I? Happy April Fools day! Hehe... Fine not funny -.- Change it to Stepsister.) and that little know-it-all, Annabeth. You see, it was such a great day today, that is until I woke up. First the little know-it-all bumps into me then blames it on me so I have to pay her for a new phone and then she doesn't want to accept the money, then my Bianca sits in the Poor Section of the cafeteria when i'm supposed to be showing her around! Seriously who does Bianca think she is? If the principal finds out, I swear I'm in so much trouble.
Before I go any farther let me explain. I'm Percy Jackson, most popular guy in school, yeah you could say that. Honestly, I don't know how I became popular, I guess because my dad is one of the richest guy's in the world. But still, people think I'm a selfish arrogant jerk. I'm not! I didn't ask to be rich, and since I am, I take the opportunity.
You see, years ago I was one of the poorest guys in school. Suddenly, this man comes blabbing into my apartment, claiming he's my birth-father. Since I never met my father my first instinct was, "Attack!", but apparently my mom knew this man. So I went along with it, that is until my mother told me the truth. My dad was one of the richest people on earth, and I had no idea. I had lived all those years of my life poor, and my dad is over there in his ten mansions living the luxury. Then suddenly he comes to take me back, does that seem selfish? Yes it does, I know.
Before Poseidon, my birth-father, showed up, my mom and I lived with Gabe. An abusive parent, one day he took it too far, and punched me. My mom called the cops, after all I was only five. We went to this judge and my mom finally got divorced. On our way home we found Bianca, she was in an alley alone crying. We took her to child services and they found out her parents died in a car crash for drunk-driving, after they abandoned her in an alley. Bianca was about to be taken to an orphanage, but my mom adopted her since Bianca was such a sweet-heart. Since then we grew up together.
One evening, when I was ten, this man knock's on the door. Bianca and I were watching Peter-Pan, and my mom went to open the door. The man came barging in about how he came to take me back. I was so confused, so I did what many other's would. I ran towards him with my fist closed ready to punch the guts out of him. My mom stopped me before I could even put a finger on him.
We sat down and talked. My mother explained everything. Every single detail. She said she had met him in a beach, a beautiful beach we go almost every weekend during summer. She told me that when they met, it was like destiny. Of course, I didn't believe her. During that time my mom had a boyfriend, Paul, who loved me and Bianca, and we loved him back. He bought us toys, played with us every time he came over. He even told me he was planning to propose to my mom! Well enough. Let's keep going.
My dad claimed he had the right to take me back. My mom refused, so he threatened her. He told her that we could stay in one of his mansions, but if we didn't he would take me and Bianca. It was the only choice we had then, so she took it. Since then we lived in this big mansion. That is until my mom married and went her a honeymoon with Paul. Poseidon tricked her into thinking we would go with them after they came back. They agreed and signed some papers, which turned out to be the ones saying that Poseidon now had full ownership over us. Seriously, ownership that's what they said. Ever since then my mom comes and visits us, every time she apologizes for not being able to bring us back, but we understand.
Even though were super rich, I don't care. Sure, I show it a bit more than Bianca but I really don't care. Bianca is a very smart girl, she doesn't like make-up or those kinds of things. She wears simple clothes even though she could be wearing the richest accessories. She doesn't care at all, that's what I love about her. She is a really kind, and a great friend, very mature for her age. But, I guess that's what happens when you have suffered a lot. She's been through more than I have.
"PERCY!" Jason yelled in my ear, earning glances from everyone in the cafeteria.
Okay this is the deal, when someone yells into my ear, I get angry. Not just angry, I yell back at them. I meant it to come out as a pleasant "What?", instead it came out as a huge, fiery wolf that can talk yelling, "WHAT!?". Oops.
"Sorry..." I apologized lowering my voice. Everyone in the table froze for a second and then began talking once again.
"What are you thinking about? You zoomed out for like ten minutes, I called your name about 100 times!" He exclaimed.
"Thinking about Bianca?" Grover asked who was sitting next to me.
See we have this table, the 'popular' table where my cousins, Thalia and Nico, and my best friends, Grover, Jason, Piper, Katie, Leo, Beckendorf, Travis, Connor and Silena sit at. A few more people sit here like cheerleaders and foot ball players, but I usually don't pay attention to them, I prefer hanging out with my friends.
"Yeah..." I answered his question after a few seconds of silence. "I just can't believe she preferred to sit in the Poor section than with her brother. Who does she think she is?" I asked angrily.
"If you ask me, I think you're jealous." Piper added smiling.
"Jealous? About what!?" I asked defensively.
"Oh my Gods he is jealous!" Silena squealed putting a hand over her mouth.
"What are you talking about!?" I asked even more confused. Jealous? Me Jealous? Is there anything to be jealous off?
"You're obviously jealous that Bianca prefers to hang out with Annabeth than with you." Grover explained in a matter-of-fact way, Thalia lowered her head at the comment. Hmm.
"Of course I'm not!" I yelled and took a sip of my water, my throat feeling dry.
"Oh yes he is." Nico added smirking.
"Uhh! It would be so adorable to add Annabeth and Percy to my couples!" Silena exclaimed, in a very annoying way.
Once I realized what she said the water I was drinking ended up all over the table.
"WHAT!?" Everyone in the table, except the ones not listening, screamed.
Silena sat there writing something on her 'Couple's Notebook'. See she has this promise that she will unite at least 200 couples before she dies, Wow. So she basically takes all the chances she gets.
She smiled, closed her notebook, and stood up. "BRB, have some Percabeth planning to do!" then walked away happily. We all stood there dumb-founded.
"What just happened?" Leo asked causing everyone to shrug.
"Oh no..." Piper murmured. We all turned to her.
"What?" Jason asked her. She looked at me.
"Percy... if Silena gets the idea to put you and Annabeth together, she won't stop until she full-fills it. You know how she is! If you two do get together, there will be a BIG problem in the school." She said with a worried expression. Did she really think that Annabeth and I could get together? I mean hello! We're complete enemies. E-N-E-M-I-E-S. Do you understand that?
"Piper it's not like it will actually happen." Nico exclaimed.
"Seriously? Haven't you seen Silena in work-mode. She has never, ever failed at getting any coupled together, she managed to get Clarisse and Chris together, hello they're complete opposites! She has put over 50 coupled together!" Piper screamed in a frustrated, yet annoyed tone. She put her hands in her face and sat there. It all became quiet.
"Thalia?" I asked, eyeing her. I noticed she hadn't said a word during all the conversation.
"Huh?" she murmured waking up from a trance.
"You okay? You haven't said anything since we mentioned Annabeth." I said worried.
"Of course I'm okay and what are you implying by that?" she asked getting defensive. Oh oh.
"No I was just wondering... I mean I wouldn't expect you to be friends with that smarty street bag." I said sounding a bit ruder than I should have.
"She's not a smarty street bag! You don't even know her! You don't have the right to insult her!" Thalia screamed at me angrily.
"Thalia wow calm-" Nico tried to reason but Thalia stood up, glared at us for a second and walked out of the cafeteria furiously.
"What was all that about?" I asked turning towards Jason, who was enjoying his tasty, cheeseburger. He looked at me clue-less and then remembered everything that just happened. Wow dude.
"Oh! I have no idea she might be in her - err - days?" It came out as more likely as a question than as an answer. Nico chocked on the last part and me, Leo, the Stolls and Beckendorf all started to laugh uncontrollably while Piper glared at us.
"Sorry..." I mumbled once we controlled ourselves.
"So Stolls..." Leo asked trying to change the subject, "Have you been planning any good pranks?" he asked taking a bite of his peanut-butter sandwich.
"Oh Travis has... on someone rather special for him..." Connor teased his brother with a huge smirk on his face.
"Special? Hmm... who is the special person were talking about?" I asked a smirk growing into my face.
"You'll see..." Travis said.
Leo and Nico started to throw food around with their forks. Piper looked at the food being thrown up and down the table with disgust.
"Ugh seriously why am I the only girl here? Where's Katie?" she questioned mostly to herself.
"No idea." we all added and Piper kept staring at the chunks of food being thrown. One of the pieces Leo threw fell onto her face, she groaned in disgust and ready to kill someone.
"Oh oh..." I murmured.
"Leo..." she growled and grabbed a big chunk of her spaghetti then threw it, aiming for Leo but unfortunately it landed on Travis.
"..." Travis looked furious. Here we go.
Travis opened his eyes and an evil smirk grew onto his face. He grabbed a bunch of his macaroni and cheese and threw it aiming for Piper but she moved away. Travis smirk dissapeared when it started aiming to someone worse... Katie was walking into the cafeteria when she got a big surprise stuck to her hair. The cafeteria became death silent.
She turned towards our table furiously looking at Travis who looked like he was about to die. She walked towards the nearest table calmly, grabbed some spaghetti from some girl's plate and threw it at Travis.
"FOOD FIGHT!" Someone near our table yelled and before we knew it the cafeteria was being splattered around with chicken, pizza, home-made casserole, macaroni, and many different foods.
Well I may have to explain some things. After that food fight the principal walked in and gave us this whole speech about behavior, fortunately, he didn't see Bianca sitting in the Poor section. Unfortunately, we wouldn't have dessert on Friday. That made everyone's mood come down.
I groaned as Piper, Jason and I walked towards Health Class.
"Why does school exist!" I groaned as we walked towards class.
"Because we need education dufus," Piper exclaimed glaring at me. "Plus if we didn't have school, we wouldn't have doctors, lawyers, or even the president to lead us."
"Of course." I mumbled as we entered the classroom. There was a paper in the wall explaining who your partner for the year would be. I looked down at the paper searching for my name.
I smiled when I spotted my name, but it faded when I saw who my partner was. Annabeth Chase. Oh My Gods. What? How? When? Where? Why?
I had so many questions in my face I was literally just glaring at the paper.
"Uh Percy?" Jason asked me.
"What's wrong?" Piper asked and once she saw my partner her eyes widened. "Oh..."
"Annabeth..." Jason said. "Is you partner... But how is that even possible we can only be partnered up with people of our social levels as in Richies."
"Silena..." Piper murmured. Of course it had to be Silena.
"Oh she must really be determined this time..." I murmured, mostly to myself in annoyance.
At that moment Annabeth, and her friend, Rachel entered the classroom laughing.
"Would you keep it down?" I asked rudely glaring at her.
She looked at me as if I was from another planet.
"I will not listen to someone like you..." she said and walked passed me to look at the list. Oh her reaction is going to make me laugh.
She looked at the list examining it and then her eyes widened in shock.
"WHAT!?" she screamed earning glances from everyone in the class.
"Oh too bad you're going to be with me for the rest of the year..." I whispered in her ear. Sure, I was annoyed but Oh boy I was going to enjoy this.
It was going to be a good year.
