The Year of Prom

Chapter 3- A Natural Born Hero

Annabeth POV

"Umm…" I said

"Don't play innocent!" Rachel shouted. "I saw you talking to him. I saw the way you looked at him!"

"And in what way did I look at him?"

"Don't smart-ass yourself at me!" Rachel shouted. "You obviously have a crush on him! But I'll tell you this Chase. If you want what's good for you, you would back off. He. Is. Mine.

Okay. She was being ridiculous. She was being so cliché. I mean back off? Was she Mackenzie from dork diaries? By the way I have read almost all the books in the entire world including dork diaries. I like it though although instead a bratty sister I have two devil brothers, Matthew and Bobby. (A/N: When I was reading the Titan's curse when they introduce Matthew and Bobby I was like OH MY GOD I know a Matthew and a Bobby!) Malcolm's okay. At least he understands how it is to not have your real mother with you and to have a step mother who understands nothing about you. And two little brothers who try to get you in trouble as much as they can.

I rolled my eyes, "Rachel, last time I checked it was a free country. So if I want to date Percy I can date him if I want."

"Unless you get rejected."

Then Rachel looked at the two of her football players. Malcolm liked to call them goon 1 and goon 2.( Like in the cat in the hat except this cat has red fur and is a bitch-which would probably mean that she's a female dog but oh well.) If it was up to me I would call them troglodyte 1 and troglodyte 2.

When Rachel looked at the two football players they picked me up and carried me towards the door.

"Put me down! I have to go to class I don't want to be late! Put me down! Put me down! Put me down!" I screamed as loud as I could.

"Shut the f- up!" Rachel shouted, "It's time for your garbage bath and we don't want you ruining it."

Garbage bath? I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"And why are you screaming? Don't you know the first five hallways in Goode are completely sound proof to the classrooms?"

Oh yeah, to block out the sounds of New York City traffic. Now I have no one to help me. And I will be going to my next class smelling like garbage. On the bright side I haven't had lunch yet so I won't be throwing up.

"Hey! What are you doing!" someone shouted from down the hall.

The football players dropped me on the ground and sprinted, Rachel trailing behind them with her long legs.

When I looked up my grey eyes met with a pair of green ones. Percy was standing in front of me, his hand outstretched to help me up. I got up myself denying his offer of help.

"Hi Percy."

"Hey, what were they doing to you?"

"They were going to dump me in the big garbage bin outside."

"Why?"

I opened my mouth then closed it again. I can't tell him the reason was because of him. I don't even know how to tell him. So I won't tell him.

"It's a stupid reason, doesn't even concern you."

"Okay"

"We better get going to class"

As we were walking to class, I asked, "Why were you in the hallway during class time?"

"It's a stupid reason," He said, mocking my tone "doesn't even concern you."

"Okay, then don't tell me."

"And I won't." He said smirking

My grey eyes widened in mock astonishment. "What! You're not going to tell me?"

"And besides," he said ignoring my question "Who says going to anymore? People these days say gonna."

"Gun-a?" I repeated.

"Gonna," said Percy, "G-O-N-N-A, as in I'm gonna have to know your name if we are gonna hang out later."

"Annabeth," I said "And you are invited to walk me home unless you're walking Aqua home. And you can hang out with me until you're cousin Thalia comes over."

"Well, Annabeth, you should know that Aqua's big brother drives her two and fro school, so I'll be walking you."

"And this is not a date, it's just hanging out. Plus my parents say if I'm gonna make new friend they have to approve them first."

"Then how did you get stuck with Thalia for a best friend?" Percy asked.

I laughed, "My mom's boss is her father, Zeus, and if my mom wanted to keep working, she couldn't turn down his daughter."

"So you live with your real mom and dad?"

"No, dad and step-mom. I video chat with my mom sometimes since I never have the time to visit her. So you'll get to video chat with her too."

"Okay then." Percy said.

Once the bell rang, Mr. Brunner (Who we all call Chiron) gave out little pieces of paper and said;

"This year we will be focusing much on Greek Mythology. You will be assigned partners. So to make it fair, you will write your name down on a piece of paper and I will come around with my hat and you will fold it and put it in the hat, understood?"

The class were murmuring and nodding yes.

"Okay," Chiron started, some people in the class were snickering, I didn't know why.

"Samuel your partner will be Katrina"

The class started with a chorus of oooooh's. I just rolled my eyes.

"Patrick Star will be partnered with SpongeBob Square Pants?"

The class started snickering. Poor old man, I thought, it's funny how those names ended up together in a one in thirty six chance.

"Annie will be partnered with Unknown."

I heard a burst of laughter.

"Guest will be partnered with babycakes"

The class was howling with laughter.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turt- Listen guys, I know that I don't know all your names but is this really necessary?"

The class stopped laughing. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

(A/N: Thank you Guest, Unknown and babycakes for reviewing! )

"Okay, let's try this again, and whoever names I don't find on the attendance sheet will be suspended."

In the end I got paired up with Percy.

While Mr. Brunner was explaining the project, a piece of paper landed on my desk. I opened it and read it silently.

Will you go to the prom with me?

~Luke

I was filled with rage. Luke really thinks I'd go to the prom after he cheated on me last year. With a cheerleader named, Kelli. I still remembered that horrid day.

I was walking around the school to examine the architecture for architecture club, when I heard some sounds. Make out sounds. Like the sound you make when you hook up with somebody. I saw Luke with Kelli in his embrace, kissing with passion. And groping her in such a way that he never held me before. In a sexual way. And then the worst part came when he said the words he never said to me before. "I love you." Luke said in between the kisses, "I love you too", said Kelli in between the kisses.

I ran, straight to the bathroom and I cried my eyes out.

And now he wants to go to prom with me. After all he's done! After all this hurt! No, no I will NOT go to the dance with him! I can't even look at him. That douche is delusional!

I crumbled up the piece of paper and put it in my backpack. This paper will be burning in the fireplace when I get home.

Yeah, I'm stopping right now. I should have written more and left off a cliff hanger, but I had to Update this today. If I get a flashdrive, I might update between Tuesday and Friday.

LUV u guys
