Hey guys. So, first off I'd like to sincerely thank some of you for the comments you left after my author's note. They were extremely nice and it helped me realize that some people are just not going to like your ideas, and you have to deal with it. This is my story so I can do whatever I want with it, so please if you have don't have anything nice to say, just don't write a review. I do take constructive criticism, but some of the comments are a little nasty. Also, my grandfather just passed away yesterday so I'd really appreciate any negative comments to be kept to yourself for now, because I'm in a pretty fragile state at the moment. Again, thank you so much for the encouragement and I'm sorry that today's chapter is short because I'm really feeling down, and I'm extremely busy.

Lastly, please check out my new story When They Could See Through The Mist! :)

Annabeth's POV

I woke up the next morning, my face sticky with dried tears and lines of mascara. The clock read 7:00 AM so I rolled out of bed, and walked over to my closet. I thought, "You know what? I'm going to show Percy what he's missing out on, I want to look pretty today." I pulled out this simple flowery white summer dress, a jean jacket, my favorite owl necklace, and light brown combat boots. Pleased with my look in the mirror, I sauntered over to the bathroom. I cleaned off my face, and applied a little mascara and a tad bit of shimmery lip-gloss. Once I walked out of the bathroom, I noticed Percy in the kitchen. I tried to ignore him, but he noticed I came out and ran over to me.

"Annabeth, I'm so so so sorry. I never knew that Rachel would act like that, but right after you uh ran away, I broke things off with her. Can you forgive me?" Percy gave me adorable puppy dog eyes and I sighed.

"Alright fine, since you ARE a Seaweed Brain, I guess I can forgive you." Percy smiled and pulled me into a tight hug. After about 10 seconds, it started to get awkward so I pulled away and we both blushed a little.

"So uh, I made you breakfast to show I'm sorry!" Percy stammered a little and I punched him lightly in the shoulder.

"Wow, you can cook? That's amazing!" He laughed and I walked over to the counter to find blue pancakes in the shape of a heart…well I think it was supposed to be heart, it was a little lopsided.

"HAHAHA, Percy you're such a mushy guy, but I have to say that's pretty sweet." We both laughed for a while, and then we sat together eating and talking until we parted ways for class. Today seemed like a much brighter day, especially now that Rachel is out of the picture.

Percy's POV

After my Undersea Life class, I went to the school's pool to clear my head a little. As I changed into my swim trunks, I thought about how after I told Rachel off, I spent the rest of the night pondering my feelings for Annabeth. Should I fall for her? I've never really been in an actual relationship before, all the times I've hooked up it's never been serious. I'm just so confused….

I dived into the pool, and starting doing freestyle, trying to beat my best time of 2:00 for 200 m. The school offered me a scholarship to be on the swim team, and I had to keep it to stay here. After my mom left Gabe, the stupid smelly drunk, she married Paul Blofis. He was a great guy, but money was tight around our house so I needed to have financial help from the school. Our money situation embarrassed me though, so I hid it as well as I could at Goode. Only my closest friends really knew the truth, but the rest of the school was blissfully unaware. After I finished, I walked back into the locker room and changed, and right when I walked out I walked right into my least favorite person on the planet.

Rachel's POV

I can't believe Percy broke things off with me! We'd only been on one date before that annoying whore Annabeth ruined everything. I'm so hot, that I could have any guy in the school, but I really want to date Percy. He's so sweet, muscular, and just the perfect guy! We were the most popular people at Goode, so we belong together now! All I need to do is get Annabeth Chase out of the picture, and I think I know just how…

Thalia's POV

Since Nico and I both have our first class in the afternoon, we both don't get up until 11 AM. This morning we both met up in the living room, but still dressed in our pajamas.

I noticed we booth had a Green Day t-shirt on, and I said, "Whoa, you like Green Day? Maybe you aren't as senseless as I thought."

"Well of course I do, Dookie is one of my favorite albums." I high fived him and we began an endless chat about all of our interests. As much as the little dofus can annoy me, I have to admit we pretty much like the same things.

"Wow Thals, you're a really cool girl." Nico said, giving me a small smirk.

"Back at cha, di Angelo. Well except you're a boy, at least I think you are." Nico stuck his tongue out at me and got up to go get ready for class. Wow, for once I actually don't despise this kid…he's actually pretty awesome and cute. NO THALIA, NO FALLING FOR THE LITTLE FREAK. I mentally slapped myself, and got up to get ready for class, wondering if I'd finally lost it.

Hope you enjoyed, please R&R!
