Hi people! Here's Chapter 3. This chapter is especially significant to me as it is my longest chapter so far! Hope you like it. And thanks for reviewing and telling me what those terms are. Anyway, this is an AU, there are totally no gods or demigods or any of that stuff. Happy reading!

Percy's POV

Months flew past like that, Annabeth was still dating Luke and they can be often seen kissing and holding hands in the hallway. And slowly, I started to figure out what that burning feeling was, it was actually jealousy. And I can tell you for sure, it wasn't a very nice feeling. But I just can't help myself, although I knew that this jealousy wasn't going to help me at all.

In school, a lot of girls were also very jealous of Annabeth, they wanted Luke to be theirs. But who could blame them though, Luke was the perfect boyfriend every girl would dream of having. He had sandy, blond hair, blue eyes and was what all the other girls would say: hot. And to add up to his good looks, he was good in sports-basketball, hockey, soccer, you name it, he plays it. In short, he was everything that I wasn't and couldn't be. I mean, me playing sports like basketball and all those? Who am I kidding? The only sport that I was good in was swimming, that's it. But back then, swimming wasn't a very popular sport, basketball, hockey-those were.

Anyways, apparently Annabeth thought that Luke was all good and kind, like an angel, but I knew better. Luke was nowhere from nice, and it has got nothing to do with my jealousy or anything. Luke and his gang were a source of horror for me and the other students who were known as wimpy nerds. They would beat us up, give us wedgies and basically treat us like their personal punching bags, and they would threaten us not to tell anyone or else. However, they were a little different from the other bullies, they wouldn't beat us up in public for everyone to see and risk getting caught by the teachers or principals. So I guess they were smarter than the others. They kept their "good boys" image which people gullibly believed in, including Annabeth. And she was supposed to be the smart and clever one.

I tried talking to her, but somehow Luke always managed to keep her away from me, so I wouldn't be able to talk to her in private, even after school.

Months passed by quickly, then one day after school, when I was about to go home after seeing my teacher, I passed by this corner outside the school library that people don't usually go to and heard someone talking. As I walked closer to check it out, I heard some more talking and then the sound of people kissing. I quickly turned back, my face a little red as I had almost popped in on their make-out session.

As I was about to walk away, I heard something that made me stop right in my tracks. "Luke, what if someone walks past and sees us?" Luke? I immediately spun around. That wasn't Annabeth's voice, that was some other girl's voice!

I walked back to the corner and hid behind a pillar, peeking out and praying that this was not the same "Luke" as Annabeth's boyfriend. But, much to my dismay and anger, it was. And he was busy kissing this new girl in the class, Megan. My blood began to boil suddenly. How could he?

I walked out from behind the pillar, surprising both of them. "How dare you!" I fumed. Megan looked down, her face red like a tomato. Luke looked at me with a confused expression, and then it turned into a smirk. "Annabeth doesn't know about this. In fact, she doesn't need to. It would only break her heart. So, what are you going to do? Tell her? And break her heart?" Even though I hated to admit it, he was right. And I didn't want to make Annabeth sad. "You're a jerk!" I spat. And then I did something that surprised both me and Luke. I didn't even know what made me do it, or where I got the courage from. I just went right up to him and gave him a punch, right in his face. And it felt really good.

The next moment, fists were flying everywhere as Luke punched me hard, in my face, my gut and my chest. It was so painful that my vision started blur. But I tried to ignore it and give Luke a piece of my mind too. But this time, he didn't retaliate. He just let me punch and kick him. And he reacted strongly to my punches, like it hurt him a lot, but I knew that my punches weren't strong at all, they were quite weak. It was strange, but I didn't think too much about it. Until…"PERCY! STOP IT!" It was Annabeth. I immediately turned around and saw Annabeth, her face showed a lot of emotions-confusion, shock, sadness and most prominently, anger.

It suddenly struck me and I understood why Luke acted that way, he was making me look like the bad guy, the one beating him up while he was the innocent one. Clever. And now I had to face Annabeth. "Why are you beating Luke up? Is it because you are jealous of us? Luke told me you were jealous but I didn't know that you would be so jealous that you will hit him!"

While Annabeth screamed at me, I just stood there in shock. She got everything wrong. How could she think that way? "Annabeth! He's lying to you! I beat him up for you! This jerk here was cheating on you! I saw him kissing her!" I retorted back, pointing to Megan. Luke immediately defended himself, "NO! I would never do that. Megan and I were just planning Bob's birthday party together and we wanted it to be a secret, that's why we decided to plan it here, where nobody would be able to hear us. Percy got the wrong idea! Annabeth, please believe me!"

Annabeth looked into Luke's pleading eyes and I knew she believed him over me. It was really hurting and sad that she would think that I am lying. But what she said next really broke my heart, "Percy, I am really disappointed in you. How can you lie to me to cover up for what you did? I hate you!"

"I wasn't lying to you. Believe it or not, it's your choice. And since you hate me, I would make sure you will never ever see me again!" with that, I ran off. I didn't stop running even when I bumped into people and got a few middle fingers and swearing. I was so hurt, so angry. And soon, betrayer tears streamed down my face, blurring my vision. But I didn't care, I didn't want to care. I just kept running and running. I felt as if something was pressing against me chest, making it hard to breathe. It felt horrible.

How could she? I did it for her…

Then all of sudden, there were the sounds of cars honking all around me and the screeching of tires. I froze. I felt so confused. I couldn't see properly as the tears blurred my vision. Then the next moment, I saw two bright lights, heading straight for me. They got bigger and bigger, and then there was the sound of tires screeching again.

It all happened so fast that my mind was a blur. After the screeching sound, I felt pain, immense pain. Then the next thing I knew, it was lights out.
