****I changed the font. I dont know why it got all werid like that. Sorry!! Hope this is better :D

OK so let me just say my softball team is just plain awesome. So we just had a double header. Scored no points. And lost by like 13 points both times. We totally blew up. But we still rock!! Haha. On a worse note. I'm really, really, pissed right now cause this kid. Ugh I'm going to strangle him. He cheated on one of my BEST friends. So I'm sorry if it shows in my writing!!

"Congragulation class of 2011!" Mr. Cascade our principal said into the microphone. I pulled my hat off my head and threw into the air. I turned around to my friend Malery and hugged her.

"We did it!" She yelled into my ear.

"I know!" I yelled back. The hats were falling all over by now. I bent down and picked mine up. The blue polyester gown brushed the floor in the school gym. I had finally graduated. Off to college. I was going to Yale (Ivy league off course. My mom wouldn't have it any other way).

"Hey there. Congratulations." A tall, redhead said hugging me. My boyfriend, Matt.

"Thank you" I said. He looked nothing like Percy. Which is exactly why I picked him. Looking at people that looked like Percy (especially people in the Poseidon cabin when I helped at camp in the summer) usually makes me cry or have a spaz attack. The first time a son of Poseidon came I actually had to be taken to the infirmary. Matt grabbed my hand as we walked over to my parents.

"Annabeth! Congradulations!" My dad said running over to me and grabbing me out of Matt's arms.

"Thank you daddy" I said hugging him back.

"Did mom make it?" I asked.

"Well of course! She's right there!" My dad said pointing to my step mom who waved at me as she tried to round up my two little brothers.

"No, no, no. My mom!" I said looking around for my mother.

"Annabeth, did you really think I would miss it?" My mom said walking up behind me.

"Mom!" I yelled hugging her.

"Oh Annabeth I'm so proud of you. Valedictorian!" She said.

"Oh, it was easy." I said blushing.

"Congragualtions Annabeth!!" Said someone. I looked to find the voice. Uncle Poseidon?

"Thank you." I said confused.

"Annabeth! You did it!" Yelled someone else. Hermes. Had all the gods come. I tried to focus on that odd situation, and not Poseidon. He just reminded me of Percy, the one person who could break me down in any situation. Including my high school graduation.

"Well we gotta go! Big party!" My dad rubbing his hands together as Matt came back over.

"Right, lets go" I said, trying not to let my sadness show as matt put his arm around my waist. That should be Percy's arm.


The party was huge. I didn't really remember anything. Other then everyone asking who my odd relatives were.

Matt was constantly by my side. It was getting a little annoying to say the truth.

"Annabeth Chase!" Someone yelled. Whoever it was decided to hug me, and then proceed to lift me off the ground, which made me yelp a little.

"Annabeth! You ok!" Matt said running over.

"Oh my little niece is fine" Whoever it was. I still hadn't seen who it was. I looked over at the blond haired mystery man, I should have guessed.

"Apollo." I said smiling.

"Annabeth" He said smiling, ray bans covering his eyes.

"Is Rachel here!?" I said getting excited.

"Well she was, she seems to have disappeared." He said looking around.

"Wait, another of your relatives from your moms side?" Matt said, a little PO'd.

He was defensive like that.

"Matt, this is my uncle Apollo." I said. I hated telling people that. I always knew what would come back.

"Like the God of Poetry and music and stuff?" Matt asked.

"Exactly" Apollo said, proudly. Luckily he didn't start reciting poetry like he usually did. His poetry hadn't improved, at all.

"Wait let me get this straight, you have an uncle Zeus, an uncle Hades, an uncle Poseidon, an uncle Hermes, an uncle Dionysus, and an uncle Apollo? Then you have an aunt Hestia, an aunt Demeter and an aunt Persephone. Then your moms name is Athena? What was wrong with your grandparents?" He said laughing. (The other gods couldn't make it, or, like in Hera's case, hated me.)

"Haha. You don't even know the half of it" I said laughing with Apollo. Well, they ate their kids. What a great family story!

"Apollo?!" I heard a voice.

"Rachel!" I yelled back.

"Annabeth!" She yelled running up to me.

"Congragulations!" She said hugging me.

"Thank you!" I said back. "Rachel you remember matt?"

"Oh yeah! Hey Matt" She said walking over by Apollo.

"Hi" He said back, this whole experience kind of made him uncomfortable.

"I'm so happy it's finally summer!" She said.

"Oh I know right?! I miss camp so much!" I said back.

"What camp are you going to? I didn't know you were going to camp." Matt said. Oh shit. I forgot about him.

"Ummm. It's out on long island." I said.

"Oh, well how long are you going to be there?" He asked.

"All summer." I said smiling. Camp always made smile. Except the Percy perspective of it. I thought by now I'd be over him. I mean not like forgetting him. But whenever I so much as hear his name I felt like curling up in a ball and staying like that for the next twenty years.

"Why?" He asked.

"I always go to camp. For the whole summer" I said.

"Well, change is always good right?" He said angrily. Gods I really didn't want to have this conversation right now. Luckily, Rachel helped.

"Well, we have this tradition. Annabeth's been going to this camp since she was seven. It's like her home. No, it is her home." Well put Rachel.

"Well, can I at least come and visit." He asked. I looked franticly at Rachel. What was I supposed to tell him? No, you can't visit me because your not half god. Sorry!

"Hey you guys, lets not talk about this right now. It's your graduation!" Apollo said putting his arm around Rachel.

"Yeah!" Rachel said, and in an attempt to change the subject brought up the one thing I really couldn't talk about.

"That's a really cute picture" She said pointing to the one of me and Percy his fourth year at camp. We were both in orange camp half blood shirts, we were sitting around the campfire, all squished together. Slowly my eyes started to tear up.

"Annabeth! I'm so sorry! I wasn't even thinking!" Rachel said running up to me.

"What's wrong Annabeth?" Matt asked.

"P-P-" I tried.

"It's Percy." Apollo said frowning.

"Who's he?" Matt asked. I really don't like to tell the guys I date about Percy. It was usually just responded by a 'Well you obiously still love him, I think that means we don't belong together' I would try to argue, 'he's dead though!' But that made me cry, and I knew they were right. It made me mad. I didn't get why I couldn't let go of him.

"He's her old boyfriend" Rachel said.

"Well why's she crying then!" Matt said. Clearly getting angry.

"He died" Apollo said.

"Oh, God Annabeth I'm sorry." Matt said hugging me. That's when it hit. He didn't want to break up with me, even though I was in love with someone else. But I couldn't do it.

"Matt, I'm so sorry. But I can't do this. I just can't" I said. And then ran to my ran.


I closed the door behind me and collapsed on my bed. Of course, my graduation had turned into a disaster. I swear life was trying to run me over. It just didn't seem fair. Everyone else got their Happily Ever After with the perfect guy, and everything went right. At least for one day. But not me. My guy was gone.

Omygod this chapter was like a disaster. I might redo it. I'll tell you if I do….

Oh! And I felt like such an idoit todat because I just realized they changed the review button from green to blue! And all this time I've been telling you to hit the green button!! So let's try this. Hit that cute little BLUE button!! NOW!!!
