Annabeth POV
I was sitting around, doing homework, when I saw an Iris Message appear in the corner of my bedroom, where my pictures of Percy were. Being in San Francisco was tough, not being with him.
"Hello? You going to talk to me or not?", a voice that I recognized as Aphrodite's said.
I sighed. "What do you want?
"I want you to go to Percy's school," Aphrodite told me. "I have a plane ticket for you sitting on your desk, as well as some forms that Goode requires."
I glanced at my desk, and sure enough, the forms and plane ticket were there. When I looked back, Aphrodite was gone.
The plane ticket was for 12:35 tomorrow. I would have to skip school, but who cares?
I saw the forms, asking about me. I filled them out.

After filling it out, I started packing my bags.
Tomorrow would be a long day, so I went to bed early.
Today was the day I have been waiting for. I got off the subway and I walked into school, where I saw a couple making out. I rolled my eyes. Making out in school? Really? I wondered how long they would get detention for. I was about to head to my class, when I noticed something. The male had messy black hair. He was about 6'. And, he had Percy's sea green eyes.
"Excuse me?" I asked. They turned around, and I saw Percy. His sea-green eyes widened. An-Annabeth, what are you doing here?
I couldn't believe this. Percy decides to make out with a cheap scumbag, even after all we've been through. I screamed. I couldn't take this anymore. I took out a knife and stabbed myself in heart. It was already broken, destroyed, shattered into billions of pieces. What more would a knife do?
I shot up in bed, screaming. I couldn't take this, even if it was a dream. Besides, demigod dreams could predict the future. This very well may come true. Would life even be worth living without Percy?
No. It wouldn't.
I thought about him. He loved me. I anchored him to the world when he bathed in the Styx. He saved my life tons of times, I saved his. I was the only thing he remembered when Hera erased his memory. He couldn't possibly dump me for some cheap mortal.
That would be impossible.
Or would it?
I took a deep breath. What I was about to do would be something I will never likely do again. I prayed to Aphrodite.
"Lady Aphrodite, does he love me? Do I love him? Was my dream true? Was it fake?"
A note appeared on my desk. It read:
"Annabeth, that is not for me to tell. I cannot predict the future, nor do I know about his feelings right now. All I can say is to be wise. You are a daughter of Athena, are you not?"
Well, thanks, I thought. Thank you for clearing this for me. This totally helped me reach a decision.
I pondered over this. I realized that I would not be able to find out on my own. Who could I ask?
Athena? No. She isn't the loving type.
Zeus? No. That wouldn't end well.
Hestia? No. She doesn't know much about love.
Hera? No. She hates me.
Wait.
Hera was the goddess of marriage. Marriage and love... Aren't they similar?
Despite my hatred for her, it was my only hope.
"Hera," I prayed, "Do you know what Percy thinks of me? Does he love me, does he want to marry me, does he long for me every minute of every hour of every day? Or does his heart belong to someone else?"
A voice suddenly boomed in my head. "He wants to marry someone. I do know who. But I will not tell a rude Athena spawn."
Well, that was useless. So he either wants to marry me or that ugly mortal. So that little conversation in no way helped me.
Great.
All of a sudden a huge voice, deeper than anything I had heard before, started speaking. "Annabeth Chase."
"Who are you and what do you want with me?" I interrogated.
"Who am I? Wouldn't that ruin the fun here?" He chuckled. "What I want with you? Well you were asking a question rather desperately, so I decided to be... generous and tel you the answer. Of course, with your rudeness, I think I might not. Hera really was right about the fact you are, as she calls you, 'a rude Athena spawn.'"
"Cut to the chase!"
The mysterious voice laughed. "Ah, I see you have quite the sense of humor. Using your last name in an expression."
I sighed. This dude is not making it easy.
"Fine." I said, gritting my teeth. "I guess I will say 'Get to the point!' if you're going to be that way."
"Well, Olympian spawn. About Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase's, or as she hopes to be, Annabeth Jackson's relationship. Well, Annabeth clearly loves Percy, as she calls him. She adores Percy's eyes, his smile, his hair, and most of all, his personality. Annabeth wishes to marry and have kids with him. Percy, on the other hand, feels differently. He has true love with a mortal named Mariana. He loves her with all of his heart, and would rather die than be without her."
I gasped.
"Oh and by the way, you're welcome."
I was stunned. Percy wouldn't do this.
He loves someone else, Annabeth." a voice in my head said.
I couldn't live life anymore.
I had to get away.
Death would be enjoyable, compared to this torture.
I grabbed my knife from my belt, and started thrusting it with all my strength toward my most vital organs.
"Annabeth!" a voice screamed.
Cliffhanger!
:D
Review or I won't update.
By the way this will be a normal high school story for a while... with a little twist.
