My life sucks. Ok sure I have one of the highest GPAs in the school and have a full ride to Harvard but that's not the point. To everyone I am invisible. If I accidentally bumped into you in the hall you would've thought it was a gust of wind that came that way, or if I'd ask you for a pencil you'd ask if I even went to this school,or if I had left the classroom the teacher would've thought there was a draft or the door just needs oil. You get it now? I am senior in highschool that clings to her virginity,virtually no friends,no love life,and invisible. My life I am determined to change that today…
By first getting out of bed.
I sat up from my bed and took a deep breath in. First day of senior year.
I got this.
I got up and neatly made my bed and hopped into the shower. While in there I looked at myself. I wasn't ugly, I definitely wasn't flat chested and Ethan Terlizzi in 8th grade said I had a nice butt. But, my mother had always said that some people were born to shine and some were born surpass those who shined and humiliate them so they could never rise against you again. That was her life motto.
I got out the shower and wrapped myself in a towel and went into my room.I opened my closet and pulled a couple of options and put them on my bed.
My eyes drifted to my white off the shoulder blouse.
" For new beginnings." I say picking it up and taking a pair or light blue ripped jeans and white converses to go with it.
I get dress and then look at myself in the mirror.
"Not looking to bad." I say to myself.
"Ok,we got this."
"Annabeth! Breakfast is ready!"My dad says.
I scurry down the stairs and smell pancakes.
My dad turns around to greet me and his eyes widen.
"Why are your shoulders out?" He questions as I sit down and dig into my breakfast.
"Yeah Beth why are your shoulders out!" My little demon brother Matthew says as his partner in crime, Bobby snickers.
I roll my eyes.
"It's just a shirt dad."I say continuing to eat as the two heathens continue to snicker.
"I don't know Annabeth it's kinda—"
I was saved when a car honked outside.
"Well that's Thalia! Love ya, bye!" I say rushing out.
"But Annabeth—"
"Bye!" I say then slamming the door.
I turned around and headed to Thalia's car.
I'd been grateful that I could get a ride from Thalia,I had no intention of smelling Carter Goshorn's horrendous farts,or his athlete's foot.
"Please take your time Annie! Not like we have anywhere to be!" Thalia yells out from the window.
I roll my eyes and get into the car.
When I get in, Thalia looks at me up and down.
"Are you sick?" She asked.
"What? No." I replied.
"Then why are you wearing...that." She says with disgust as she motions her hand to my outfit.
I roll my eyes again.
"I just felt like changing! Gosh! Now can we go to school!" I said with agitation.
She looks at me and shrugs.
"If ya say so." She says.
She turns back to me giving me a side eye.
"You sure you not sick?Or maybe you're looking like this for a certain Percy Jack-"
"DRIVE!"
"Ok! All body parts please stay into the vehicle till a full stop and the next stop is Hell! Please enjoy your ride at Thalia Car Services and be sure to review online and—"
"THALIA!"
"Ok,ok." She says pulling off.
Thalia was right. For the last 3 years,it had been hell. But this year, would be different.
"Annabeth! Thalia!"said a familiar voice. We turn and see Piper colliding right into us.
"I'm so happy to see you guys!"She says squeezing the life out of us.
"C-can't breathe!" I struggle to say as Piper let us go.
"Sorry!"She said apologetically.
"I'm just so excited to you guys! "She said in almost a squeal,which was very unlinked was not a squeaker.
"Yeah well we tried to hang out all summer but every time we tried to call or come over,you were nowhere to be found.." Thalia says with suspicion in her tone.
"Yeah..I was pretty busy, y'know,helping my dad with his projects and visiting my mom.."She says nervously.
Thalia frowns.
"Well it's good we're all here now!" I say breaking the tension.
Piper sighs in relief.
"Yeah I guess but-" Thalia starts to say.
"Let's see what classes we have!" I interrupted and reach inside my pocket for my schedule.
They do the same and we compare classes.
In the back of my mind though, I wondered what Piper had really been doing all summer,and was going to find out.
I should've been happy that I had been getting more attention then I had in all 3 years I had been here,but, in all 3 periods,I was stared at and all I was beginning to feel self conscious.I could hear the whispers as I clung my binder to my chest.
"Who is she?"
"Is she new here?"
"Wow,she has a fat a-"
Stop it Annabeth!
Get yourself together!
I took a deep breath and walked down the hall with pride.I headed to the library for study hall.
The library had always been a peaceful place for me. I could read without interruption and was surrounded by knowledge.
Entering the library,I headed to the nonfiction section and began searching for a good book to read.
"Did you guys see that blonde new girl today?Think her names Annabelle or something?Whatever it is 'd like a slice of that cake!" I heard someone say in front of the bookcase in front of me.I looked through the cracks to see some of the boys from the swim team,including Percy Jackson.
I may have the slightest crush on Percy.
Ok,you got me.
A BIG crush on Percy.
But what's not to like? Sure it was hopeless after all, I'd been crushing on him since the seventh grade but what's a girl gonna do?
"Yeah right Jake. Like she ever let you near her!" One of the boys say smirking.
"I bet she would let me!" One of the others say.
"Well if she would let anyone smash it would be The Cap of the Swimteam,ain't that right Perce!"One of the guys named Mike says turning to smiles nervously.
"It's not like he would date or anything,just a little smash and dash and keep it moving! She's not that I right Perce?"Mike says.
All eyes are on Percy.
"Right of course." he says nervously.
"Whoever she is,she's not good enough for the Percy Jackson!" he says laughing as the other join in.
My eyes began to swell up with tears.
How could he say that about me?
I stumbled into the bookshelf behind me as I feel of lump in my throat.
"Who's there!" One of them say.
I run out the library trying to keep the tears from falling but they insist on coming out.
The tears blur my vision as I run down the halls. I turn the coroner and collide into something sending me to the crown.
I look at my shirt to see red slushie spilled all over it.
"Sorry,I didn't see you there!" The boy in front of me quickly apologized but it only made me madder.
I stood up and ran out the nearest exit and straight into the school woods.
When my legs wouldn't carry me further I collapsed to the ground and cried even harder.
Sorry, I didn't see you there
That had been said to be all my life and then the second I do get attention from the guy I like,it's just to be used.
Hot tears roll down my cheek and hit the ground.
"I wish,I wish I was seen." I mumbled to myself as another tear hits the floor.
I hadn't expected what happened next.
A blinding light had came out of nowhere in front of me.I squinted trying to see through it and i saw a figure.
"What in the world.." I say as the figure became clearer and a beautiful woman stepped out of the blinding light.
"Hello my darling,you called?"
