Annabeth's POV:
I woke up with a massive headache, and had trouble keeping my eyes open for more than a couple of seconds. I sat up and stretched, slowly getting back to my normal self. You see I'm not a morning person, not by a long shot. I groggily got out of my warm and comfy bed and headed towards the showers. I had a feeling that it was going to be a long day, provided the fact that I woke up at five o'clock in the morning. What is the reason you woke up so early? You may ask. The reason was the dream I had.
The dream was pretty much every memory I ever had that consisted of Percy. It started off when we were twelve and I first saw him. It then fast forwarded to when we were in the labyrinth and I kissed him. After that it was after the battle of Olympus and we got thrown into the lake by Clarisse and some other campers.
I wondered why I was seeing this, I know what I did was wrong but he was the one that started it right? He was the one that was with Amy whilst we were still going out. I still couldn't believe that Amy could ever do that to me. She had been my best friend and now I couldn't stand her. What made it worse was she acted as if she hadn't gone behind my back and hooked up with my boyfriend.
I hopped out of the shower and decided to go for a walk. I headed out of the Ravenclaw common room and as I walked I looked out of a window. The sun was just rising and it looked beautiful. I figured that if I went to the astronomy tower I would have a better view.
As I was walking I was thinking about what the dream meant. Was it meant to mean that I was wrong for doing what I did with Tyler? Did it mean that I should've confronted Percy about what happened with him and Amy instead of sleeping with the first guy I saw? I had a feeling that the second on was spot on. I felt bad for doing what I did and I wanted to go see Percy and apologise.
However that thought was knocked right out of my mind when I finally reached the astronomy tower and saw Percy and Amy making out.
Travis' POV:
I woke up instantly happy. Today was Friday and tomorrow was the weekend. However when I went downstairs to the Gryffindor common room, that happiness was replaced by confusion. I looked at the three sleeping figures, trying to figure out what they were doing here and when they got here. I only realised that I had been frozen on the steps leading down to the common room, staring at Katie when my brother Connor ran into me.
"Hey Travis, what's up?" Connor asked, oblivious to the fact that Thalia, Will and Katie were all sound asleep. I shushed him and pulled him into the boy's bathroom.
I didn't want to wake them up. Well actually, I didn't want to wake Katie up, she looked so peaceful sleeping and I knew that if I woke Thalia up she would probably electrocute me, so here I was, standing in the boys bathroom with Connor.
"What the hell? Why did you pull me in here?" Connor asked looking very confused.
"I pulled you in here because Will Solace, Katie and Thalia are all asleep on the couches outside, and if we even think about waking up Thalia she will kill us. Remember what happened last time we tried to prank her?" I asked whilst shuddering at the memory of her zapping me so hard I couldn't walk for a day. It hurt so much, and from then on Connor and I have never even though about pranking her.
"Yeah, I still get the tingles from just thinking about that day." Just after Connor said this we heard a loud bang come from the common room. We hastily rushed back to the common room with our swords in one hand and our wands in the other, thinking that a monster had attacked or something.
However the sight that we were greeted with was nothing like that. Jason was sprawled on the floor with Thalia on top of him. If Thalia wasn't a hunter of Artemis and Jason's sister, I probably would've thought something was going on between them, if you know what I mean. When Thalia finally realised that the person she was lying on top of with a hunting knife pointed at their throat was actually her brother she quickly got off him and muttered an apology.
Jason just shrugged the apology off by saying "I probably shouldn't have jumped on you. I mean I would've reacted the same way if someone jumped on me." Thalia laughed at this and saw us standing in the doorway of the boy's bathroom.
"What are you guys doing?" Thalia asked, carefully looking us over as if debating whether or not we had just organised a prank.
"Nothing we were actually just going to go, give you guys some time to catch up, so Will, Katie do you guys want to come with us down to breakfast?" Connor asked. Jason and Thalia both shot him thankful glances and Will and Katie followed us out of the common room.
Unfortunately Will had to go to the bathroom whilst we were walking, so Connor took him and left me alone with Katie. Normally I wouldn't mind being left alone with the girl of my dreams but it was different now. Katie was with Malcolm and it would be selfish to tell her how I feel, but I couldn't help it. I had to tell her, I had to let her know how madly in love with her I was. As I was thinking all of this through Katie lightly tapped me on the shoulder. "Ahh, Travis? What are we doing outside? I thought you said we were going to breakfast."
I looked around and saw that we were indeed outside and that we were standing right by the bank of the lake. I felt a light blush come up and as I started wondering how we got from the Gryffindor common room to here in such a short time. "I-I'm sorry I ahhh I was um, I was just ahh. Hmm I- we should go." I stuttered out. Ugh what was happening to me? Why was I always like this whenever Katie looked at me with those big green eyes of hers?
Katie looked more than confused but she obviously decided not to ask and we started walking back to the castle. "Wait Katie, I need to talk to you." Only after I said this did I realise that I was going to tell her I loved her. Katie turned around looking even more confused. I gulped nervously and started talking. "Katie, I love you. I have loved you ever since I first saw you but I was too nervous to tell you. But now I am and I know that you're with Malcolm but I can't help it. So Katie Gardener, I love you."
Katie's face remained blank and unreadable. I stood nervously fiddling with the hem of my shirt. "I um, I think I should go, I need to go get some breakfast." Katie said and started walking back to the castle, leaving me standing by the lake feeling like an absolute idiot. What did I just do? She probably hates me now. Scratch that, she definitely hates me and thinks that I'm a total weirdo. Crap, curse my stupidness, I probably just ruined my friendship with her forever!
I thought about going to breakfast even though Katie would be there but I decided against it. All I wanted to do was distract myself from how stupid I was so I headed towards the training building and started slashing away at a dummy.
Jace's POV:
I was sitting at breakfast with Ginny, Harry, Hermione and Ron when Grace came down. "Hey Grace, what's up?" I asked whilst she helped herself to some beacon and eggs. Grace simply shrugged and started eating her food. I shared a look with the others; Grace was normally happy and bubbly. Something was obviously wrong.
"Grace what's w-" I started to ask Grace what was wrong but I got cut off by a yell coming from the Ravenclaw table.
"You want to know what's wrong. How about the fact that you went behind my back, and 'got with' my boyfriend whilst we were still together?" Annabeth yelled causing everyone to stop what they were doing and look at Annabeth and Amy.
"I have no idea what you are talking about! Percy told me that you guys broke up last night when he saw you and Tyler together!" Amy yelled back at Annabeth, who seriously looked like she wanted to slap Amy. So it didn't really come as a surprise when a loud slap echoed through the great hall.
"Stop lying to me! Tyler saw you two together!" With that said Annabeth stormed out of the great hall. I saw someone go after her but I didn't see who it was. All I knew was that he had blonde hair.
"I wonder what that was about." I spoke my thoughts aloud.
"I don't really know, but for once I don't want to know. Way too much drama is involved and I really can't deal with it at the moment. I mean, it's our NEWT year and we have to be focussed on our studies. This year will pretty much determine the rest of our lives!" Hermione said as she started packing up her things. "I'm going to go to the library, any want to come with?"
To my surprise both Harry and Ron nodded their heads. "Yeah, I have to finish off that five thousand word essay on the difference between a ghost and a ghoul for Professor Binns." Harry said and they left.
"So, do you want to tell me what's wrong Grace?" I asked looking at her confused as to why she was so down.
"Nothing, it's just I'm confused about something." I wondered what this could mean. Was it about school work? Or was it personal?
"Do you want to head down to the lake and tell me?" I asked. Grace nodded her head and we started walking towards the lake. "So, what's confusing you?" I asked once we had reached the lake.
"Is it possible to like two people equally?"
"Uh, I don't quite follow. But uh, I guess… I mean, I'm friends with Harry and Ron on the same level." I responded, I was now extremely confused as to what we were talking about.
"That's not what I mean. I mean 'like like' as in love." I felt my heart sink as Grace said this. She liked someone… I have liked her for ages and now she likes someone else. I tried to put on a poker face and not show how much this was affecting me.
"I don't think so. I think that there is one person on this earth that is meant for you. Someone that you are meant to be with and they are your soul mate. But who do you like?" I asked, a small part of me hoped that she would say me but I knew that was stupid. She had probably 'friend-zoned' me for life.
A small blush spread across her face as she said, "Leo and Nico, but I don't know what to do! I need help."
I put on a smile and replied, "I'll help you, don't worry."
