Hey you guy! I realize I didn't put in the previous authors note that this is a Percabeth story. And all of my other stories will also be Percabeth. I would also like to say that there are going to be a few more flashbacks just so you guys could have a little bit more information on what Annabeth has been through. Also don't worry Percy will arrive soon. Ok so here we go.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson series Rick Riordan does.

Behind closed doors Luke was not that nice guy in the cafeteria. He was a criticizing jerk. He found flaws in everything I did. The music I listened to, the clothes I wore, the way I talked, even the way I smiled. I know what you're your thinking. Why would I stay with him if all he ever did was berate me? Simply because he made me feel wanted. He could have anyone in the whole school yet I caught his eye. Feeling wanted is a feeling I haven't felt since my twin brothers were born. Ever since my dad, Frederic Chase married who I like to call the evil step monster and had Bobby and Mathew it's been the twins this the twins that. Never Annabeth.

Flashback

I rubbed my lips together making sure to get an equal amount of lip gloss on both lips. I walked to the other side of my room and glanced at myself in the full body mirror. I was wearing a short blue sleeveless dress with silver heels. Matching the silver heels was a pair of gold earrings and a very expensive bracelet that I borrowed from Susan without her knowing. My face was free of makeup and my blonde hair was straightened. This is not the look I would usually prefer but Luke said it's the only look pretty in.

"And I hope he likes it" I thought as I descended down the stairs. I mumbled a quick goodbye to my dad and Susan but they were too busy fussing over the twins to notice their 18 year old daughter walking out the front door. Story of my life. When I finally got outside I waited for a while and then checked the time. Whoa! It was 4:45! Luke was supposed to be here 15 minute ago.

"Where the heck is this guy" I wondered aloud. He is the one that insisted on this date anyway. This was a makeup for the last one because the last one he said I dressed too casual and didn't look good enough to be his girlfriend.

"You know what" I thought. "Maybe I should just be grateful he gave me a second chance. I mean he is the only person showing any type of interest in me right now-" I was pulled out of my thoughts by a loud honk.

"Come on" Luke shouted from inside his blue convertible. "We don't have all day." I hastily made my way to his car (opened the door for myself if I might add) and sat in the front seat.

"Hi" I said putting on a smile despite the fact that he was nearly 20 minutes late, but all I got in return was a look of disgust.

"Are you serious" he spat.

"Oh crap" I thought as my heart dropped.

"W-what's wrong" I stammered out, thinking about all the possible things I could have done wrong. Straightened hair. Check. Nice clothes. Check. Earrings. Check. Bracelet. Check. What could I have missed?

"I told you no high heels. You know I don't like it when you're the same height as me. Get inside and change your shoes. We don't even have time to discuss how plain your face looks without makeup" he yelled.

I almost tripped on my heels as I ran back inside the house. Trying to push back tears started searching furiously for a new pair of shoes.

"How could I be so stupid "I thought as I searched. "You know Luke is self-conscious about his height."

Well, he is pretty short for a senior considering I was only wearing two inch heels. When I finally found a pair of black flats I quickly put them on and raced out the door. I was panting heavily as I entered the car, but quickly controlled my breathing before I drew myself anymore unwanted attention from Luke.

"Better" he mumbled as we drove off.

"Thank god" I murmured.

"What" he said.

"Oh nothing. Just asking if we could turn on the radio" I said.

"Sure" he said. I turned the radio on and Photograph by Ed Sheeran was playing. This is one of my favorite songs! I like the meaning of it and just about everything about it! I was listening to it when Luke turned it to another station. What the-

"I never got this song. It all just sounds like a bunch of junk to me. I mean a song about a bunch of stupid pictures. Lame am I right?" he laughed. I hate his laugh. It's all sinister and Luke like.

"Yeah" I replied weakly. This is going to be a long night.

Ok so that's it for now! Hope you guys like it. This is only the beginning you guys and I might just start leaving cliff hangers as the story really starts. PERCABETH RULES!

See ya guys!
