Annabeth's POV
Running home, I could feel only freedom and pain. I had broken up with Luke. I really did. I felt hurt. I slammed the door shut and ran upstairs, being glad that my family wasn't here so they couldn't see me. Is Luke right? Nobody would like me? No, no, that couldn't be true. But it could. I buried my face in my hands. "I hate Luke, I hate him, I hate him so much!" I screamed. I took out the picture of Luke and I out of my wallet. I ripped it in half and tore it into pieces. I cried myself to sleep. Waking up an hour later, I decided to clean myself up. Looking at my red, puffy eyes, my dirty blonde hair, my strange stormy grey eyes. Luke's right. I'm ugly. I thought and chuckled bitterly. I wiped my face with water and brushed my hair. I looked at myself. I am beautiful. I shouldn't let Luke rule my life. Then I'd just be giving him what he wants. I looked with concentration and threw away all those dresses I bought to wear for Luke. I wrote down a sentence and hung it up on my wall. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
~The next day~
Percy's POV
"Hey Percy." Annabeth said. She looked beautiful. She wore an army style tank top, dark jeans, and converse sneakers. Get those thoughts out of your head, remember Rachel? A voice in my head said. "Earth to Seaweed Brain, hello?" Annabeth waved a hand in my face. "Oh, sorry. So, what's new with you?" I asked. "I don't really want to talk about it." she said. "Come on. We're friends right?" I reassured her. "Fine. I broke up with Luke last night. Okay?" She sighed in exasperation. "Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't know." I said. "It's fine." She looked away. We looked into each other's eyes for a moment. Her eyes were intimidating. Gray as a stormy cloud. But only if you concentrated very hard, you could see a resemblance of a gray wolf's, aggressive, but compassionate for any loved ones. I wondered what she was thinking as she stared at my eyes. Green like the sea, kind at favored times but also violent when threatened. She leaned in slowly. I leaned in slowly but pulled back. "Oh. I'm sorry. I, um." Annabeth turned away and blushed deeply. "No, it's okay. Uh, see you at class?" I said. "Yeah, see you at class." she smiled that dazzling smile of hers. I stared at her walking to class. I looked away. Maybe she's different. Maybe she isn't a slut like Rachel. I chuckled bitterly at my thoughts. The thoughts that ruled my mind everyday, 24/7. I just couldn't ignore the pain in my chest if I had my heart broken by her. It would be a million times worse. She gave me the feeling I had when I was with...her. I finally decided. I am going to wait. I sighed thinking about the things i could've done. I took a deep breath. "Time for class." I said.
Annabeth's POV
I had a smile on my face. He almost kissed me. Almost. I sighed. Checking the time, it was 3:30. 15 more minutes. If only I could find out who she was and what she did. I need to know. The dismissal bell brought me back, alarmed. I smiled. Thursday. Almost Friday. "Homework is to read chapter 14 of Moonstruck Beach and do your annotations! Class dismissed! Good day!" The teacher said. Mrs. Hodges. The eccentric L.A teacher. I walked out the front door. I looked around and saw Luke. I looked away immediately but he still saw me. He grabbed a girl and pulled her close to him and kissed her deeply. I rolled my eyes and walked away. He grunted and pushed her away. I walked as fast as I could away from him. I saw Thalia and caught up with her. I turned around and saw Luke sigh with exasperation. I smirked. "So. How much homework did you get?" I asked her. "Uh, 3 or 4. I don't care. Probably gonna do it in bed." she said. "You trying to be a badass?" I smirked. "Maybe." she smiled back. "So, I heard you broke up with Luke." Thalia said. "Wow. Things spread quickly." I chuckled. "You have your eye on my cousin?" Thalia smirked. "No." I lied. "Remember tickle monster?" she said. "Okay, maybe." I said. Thalia grinned. "Totes posting this on Twitter, LOL, OMG, TTYL." Thalia said in a social girl's voice. "Are you fucking kidding me, Thalia?" I said. "Yes. Why would I do that to my best friend?" she grinned. I sighed in relief. "Don't do that again." I said."My shadow's the only one that walks beside me, till then I walk alone." a phone ringed. "Hold on. I gotta take this." Thalia answered her phone. "Hello? Oh. Wait, what? Are you sure? What the hell did he do this time?" she said. "What happened?" I asked. "My dad was at this place "Thunderbolt", and he accidently tasered someone." Thalia sighed. "I'll see you." she said and hugged me. "Bye." I waved. I got to my house and opened the door. "Malcolm?" I called. I climbed upstairs and heard some slight moaning. I knocked on the door. ""Oh shit!" I could hear Malcolm say. "Um, just go hide." he said again. He opened the door. "Oh, hey sis! Just studying with my friend. "I smiled inwardly. Great chance for black mail. "I heard what you said." I smirked. I stepped inside. A girl was hiding behind the closet door. "Uh, Jenna, you can come out now." Malcolm scratched his head. "Pay me 50 bucks and I'll stay quiet." I said. "No way." Malcolm said. "Okay, well I guess Mom AND Dad can find out." I said, looking at my nails. "Okay, okay, fine." he said. "Here you go." He handed me 50 bucks. "I didn't see anything." I backed away and turned into my room. I closed the door and fell onto my bed. I sat daydreaming for hours about Percy. "So it seems someone has a crush." a voice said.
