None of these characters belong to me. They all belong to Rick Riordan.

What up y'all? Sorry I'm not posting much, I think I'm going through something. Not like horrible, just that I can't write. I have two other books you guys can read, but I think this one is the fav. Anyways, I wrote this in first person. Again. Hopefully you can still enjoy the story, so yeah.

Annabeth and I haven't been getting along. The last straw was tonight.

I decided that we should make up, for the good of our friends. I offered to go with her to the movies, and she accepted.

When I got there, she never showed up. During the previews, I saw a girl who looked a lot like her. But, she was with another guy.

Another look, it was Annabeth. The guy she was with, Luke.

I got really fed up with her.

Stupid, she obviously likes Luke more. Why do you try, stupid stupid stupid. I thought.

I walked out, and got into my stepdads Prius.

When I got back to our apartment, Mom came up to me.

"Sweetie, are you alright?" She asked.

I knew mom was already stressed out. She was working on a new book, and her publisher needed it by the end of this month. It didn't help that she's pregnant.

She's pregnant. Oh my gods, I didn't even think about that. I'm going to be a big brother!

I simply nodded and ran to my room. I can't stress mom out.

So for now, I just have to pretend everything's alright. No matter what.
