Annabeth P.O.V.

A/N: Hey guys! I am SO sorry if you read this chapter the first time and it was all code. I should have checked it after I uploaded! Here is the correct version.

A/N: I bet you guys are tired of author's notes, right? I promise this is my last one for a while. So I decided that I wanted all of the major drama to go down in the last couple chapters, especially at prom. Do you guys like that idea? I hope so, cause I've already started on the chapter, cause I'm so excited! But I was thinking about when I read other fanfics I always want to read some scenes from both Annabeth and Percy's point of view, cause one just isn't enough. So I was thinking about writing 2 chapters for the prom and having one in Percy's P.O.V. and one in Annabeth's. What do you guys think? Do you want me to do that? Please leave a review if you think I should! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Thanks for reading!

When I woke up Friday morning, I couldn't have been more relieved. This week was finally over and I could do my best to put it behind me.

It was still so hard for me to believe that my friendship with Percy was over. I mean he was 11 years of my life, that was all thrown away because of a girl. And Rachel Elizabeth Dare of all girls!

But, tonight it was Silena's 'Welcome Back' party. Now typically I'm not a party type of person but I was especially looking forward to forgetting my problems tonight and getting to do that with Luke! I am extremely excited and nervous!

I was walking into school when my phone buzzed, I pulled it out to see a text from Luke: Can't wait to see you tonight! ;)

I smiled, He was the sweetest! I instantly typed back a reply: Me too! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day passed in a blur, I was too excited to focus in any of my classes and too distracted to worry about seeing Percy. Before I knew it, I was walking out of the school.

"Annabeth! Hold on! I gotta talk to you!"

I turned to see Silena rushing to me. I smiled, "Hey Sil! You ready for the party?"

She frowned, "Not even close. Will you come over in about an hour and help me set up? Please? Charlie will be there, but I still need all the help I can get!"

I replied, "Sure, I can come over. I just need to go home first and change."

She sighed in relief "Thanks so much! Well, I've got to go! I'll see you soon." She said while running towards her car.

I waved and started my walk home.

Not long after that, I was driving over to Silena's, my dad let me borrow his car tonight, since him, my stepmother, and my brothers flew out to California to visit my dad's side of the family.

I arrived at Silena's… well, her mansion, yeah, her parents are filthy rich. Anyway, I got there and was instantly greeted by an extremely stressed Silena.

"Annabeth! Thank Gods, you're here! Will you please put some cups out everywhere? And start putting the bags of food into bowls and spreading them out around the house?"

I nodded and went straight to work. Before I knew it, guests were starting to arrive and soon after the party was in full swing with a couple hundred tipsy teenagers, myself included.

By the time Luke arrived, I was on the verge of being drunk.

"Hey, Luke! I'm so happy you came!" I said as I hugged him.

He laughed, "Woah, you're already pretty drunk. I guess I need to catch up!"

"Yeah, you do! Come on, let's go get you a drink!"

"Lead the way." He replied.

A few drinks later, Luke and I were equally drunk and dancing our asses off.

And that's where we were when they walked in.

Wow, he looks good. Casual, like he doesn't care, but he always looks that way.

He was dressed in black jeans and a light gray shirt that hugged his arms in the most perfect way.

Damn, he looks really good.

I didn't realize I was staring until it was too late and we had already made eye contact. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I forgot he had never seen me drunk. See I hardly ever drink, but after so many years of being so tightly wounded and worrying about everything, I decided to just let loose. And the person who helped me do it was dancing really close behind me. And that's when I was brought back and reminded about Luke. I turned away from Percy and focused on Luke. I turned around to face him.

I put my lips really close to his ear so that he could hear me "Hey, let's take a break. It's too hot in here."

He just nodded in response and we walked out by the pool.

I sat down and stuck my feet in, "Ahh that feels good! Come on," I said, patting the concrete next to me, "Join me."

He knelt down and followed my actions. I looked up and saw the stars, "Look at that. You can't typically see the stars when you're this close to the city, all the light pollution covers them. It's crazy, isn't it? I mean that some of these stars are already de-"

I was cut off by Luke pulling my face towards his and smashing his lips on mine. I responded immediately. We sat there, like that, for a few minutes until he pulled away and I started smiling like a complete maniac.

"I'm sorry," I whispered against his lips.

His face reflected how confused he was, "Sorry? About wha-"

I responded by pushing him into the pool. He came up for air a few seconds later and I was standing by the edge.

"Whoops. I am just so sorry." I said while laughing.

He smiled and started to climb out, "Yeah, you already said that. But you know, I'm also sorry."

Before I could react, he grabbed and jump into the pool with me in his arms. As soon as I came up for air, Luke grabbed me and started kissing me again. It felt good to want someone and have them want you back. Although kissing Luke felt nice, it just wasn't what I expected it to be. I mean not that I had anything to compare it to, cause he's the only person that I've kissed, but it just felt kinda weird.

We stayed in the pool for an hour or so, talking a little bit, but mostly making out. Then I heard someone yell "CANNONBALL" and I immediately felt the water being splashed up around me from others jumping in. I guess someone saw us jumping in and decided to get everyone to follow.

Luke and I climbed out since we were still in our clothes and the pool was getting way too crowded.

Luke turned to me as we were walking up back to the house, "Hey I think I have a change of clothes in my car. I'm gonna go grab em, okay?"

I nodded, and he went through the back gate to his car. I was walking through the patio doors when I heard the voice.

"Wow, what a show that was."

I turned to see Percy standing in the shadows. I just rolled my eyes at him and continued to the stairs so I could grab the spare clothes I bought in case I had to spend the night.

I felt his presence follow me up the stairs, but I refused to acknowledge him.

Once I was in Silena's guest bedroom, I turned around to look at him, "What do you want?" I asked him angrily.

"Annabeth, can I just talk to you for a minute? Please." He said as he sat down on the bed.

"I just have one question… Why the hell are you with Luke?"

I was completely shocked by his question. "Excuse me? That's none of your damn business. In case you forgot, Perce, we aren't friends anymore!"

He just smirked, "That wasn't an answer, Wise Girl."

"Okay look, you want an answer. It's because Luke is kind and sweet and honest and trustworthy. And he has always put me above everyone else, which is something I want, something I deserve. So, even though I don't owe you a single fucking thing, there's your answer. You can go now." I pointed to the door.

He scoffed and narrowed his eyes, "What is that supposed to mean?

I walked till we were face to face, a couple inches away from each other and I said in a low voice, "It means that Luke is way better to me than you ever were Percy Jackson."

Percy just started laughing, "Seriously?! If you think he's gonna do anything except leave after he gets in your pants, then you're fucking crazy, Annabeth. That's all he wants from you."

That one hurt, "Well if you think that's all someone could want me for, then I really don't know you anymore." I said as I took a couple steps away from him, refusing to look him in the eyes.

"Oh, gods. I did not mean that Annabeth. I swear, it just came out."

"Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore. I won't be an issue after this year anyway." I replied, absentmindedly. As soon as I realized what I said, I looked up in shock.

He looked really confused, "Wait, what are you talking about?"

"Oh umm, I'm moving to San Francisco after the school year finishes. To be with my mom."

He looked heartbroken for a minute and all I wanted to do was reach out and hug him, but as quick as it came, it disappeared, replaced with a cold, smug look.

"Well, then that's good. I can put our whole friendship behind us and forget it all."

It was my turn to go from shocked to angry, "And I can do the same."
He looked me in the eyes and said, "Goodbye Annabeth Chase. Have a nice life," and then he walked out. Leaving me with wet clothes and wet eyes.
