Alright, I'm looking for a beta for this story and my other story, The Abused Duo, read it!
(Grace POV)
I woke up in my dorm room. It was painted my favorite color, a light cerulean blue. I had a couple posters, my taste in music varied from Sleeping With the Sirens and Black Veil Brides to Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. I looked like a walking disaster in the morning before I put on my makeup, my roommate however was a beautiful girl with distinct Cherokee features. It was just my luck I was stuck with a pretty. I checked the time and saw it was 7:00. I opened the heavy curtains to allow light in, not because I liked it but because it annoyed Piper, my roommate.
Annoying her probably wasn't the best idea, you know, getting on the bad side of a pretty, and an important one. I liked to cause trouble so it didn't really matter to me, especially not now, since I didn't know anything. When all the curtains were opened she immediately groaned.
"Gra-a-a-ace!" she moaned. I smirked and strutted my private bathroom.
Once in there I took a shower and then, I put my makeup on. Preferring to go with a scene look that day. My blonde hair was already in choppy layers so I fluffed it with hair volumizer and hair, straightened the tips, made my bangs and I put temporary bright red and black dye in it. I made my makeup a bright red color with bold black. I had red eyeshadow and red lipstick and black eyeliner with wings. I had fake long eyelashes on black mascara on them.
I had a walk in closet on the side of the bathroom. I went in there and took out my black skinny jeans and paired them with a black crop top with red writing that looked like blood that said Shut Up and Die. I had a bunch of black bracelets, some band bracelets, some just random black ones. I finally slipped on my red vans and walked out.
I was wild and crazy in my style, Piper on the other hand was very cautious. She had on a light blue blazer with a light pink blouse, she also had a dark blue fancy messenger bag which had her books. She wore capri length faded cuffed jeans and pink heels. We looked each other up and down, seeing our varied styles. Piper nodded, seeing that my outfit was alright, no rips or tears. I did the same, we weren't friends by any stretch of the imagination. We were just both nice and wanted to make sure we looked nice. Unless we were partners for a project, this was the only interaction we had all day. I grabbed my my bright red over-the-shoulder tote and headed out.
My first class of the day was AP Geometry. Despite what many in my school thought, I actually didn't mind school. I dreaded waking up early, but since it was a boarding school we didn't have to wake up as early as most people to get to school at eight. I was actually kind of smart, I never failed and my average was about a B+. I wanted to go into something in the science and math field. I never skipped a class and I actually enjoyed first period.
I went into the classroom. I read what was on the board and opened my textbook to the correct page. I read the page and took notes on it. I was bored so I decided to text Anthony. The notes literally took 5 minutes and the teacher was preoccupied with something on his computer. I wasn't that interested in math to ask what we should do. I also didn't wanna get moved to The Uglies by the pretties in my class.
Anthony and I texted about the date he wanted to take me on that afternoon. I told him I wanted to meet during 3rd period which was when I had Study Hall. Anthony rarely ever showed up for a full class so it wasn't a problem for him. We texted about what we were doing in class and then the teacher finally came off the computer. We only had five minutes left so everyone was talking or texting. The bell rung and we all trudged off to our next class.
We all had a language 2nd period. I took Spanish because I thought it would be the easiest. I was wrong, I hated Spanish with burning passion. I turned in my half completed homework and the teacher gave me a stern glance which I shrugged off. There was only one seat in the back of the classroom, which I wanted. I walked back there, thankful that I hadn't decided on heels. Quickly, right as I had gotten there a pretty took my seat. You could always tell a pretty from the rest of us. First, they had a similar sense of style, second, they had a smug look on their face, thirdly, they all had a small pin on their sweater vest/blazers/polos.
I took the seat in front of him. Ignoring the prickling feeling on the back of my neck, saying he was watching me. I opened my textbook and stared at the mess of foreign words swimming in front of my eyes. How the heck was I ever supposed to remember this stuff!? I stared at the teacher with a bored look on my face. The teacher was a bit scared of me seeing as I had perfected my scene look over the ages. Finally after a class of tuning out it was over.
Finally, I was going to see Anthony. I walked into classroom 1-35 and saw my wonderfully perfect boyfriend sitting in the classroom looking very bored. I walked over to him calmly even though I felt like dashing into his arms. He heard my footsteps and I waved at him. He waved back and I hurried my footsteps to get a seat next to him. This was the only class I had with him except for lunch. We sat and chatted for the entire period and snuck kisses which wasn't very effective because of my bright red lipstick.
Then I went to British History which was the most boring class so I pretty much fell asleep. Lunch was as good as always. I was really hungry because I had skipped breakfast because I had taken too long with my outfit. I got a stromboli with a caesar salad and a Sprite. Anthony got the same thing except with a Pepsi and no salad. My best friend Lexi got salad, saltines and seltzer water, she was on some kind of weird diet, trying to lose 5 pounds.
After lunch we always had our electives. I took drama and art. On Wednesdays I had PE which I was unhappy about because that meant I would have to wear drab waterproof makeup. I didn't take swimming, indoor track or basketball because I preferred exercising in the all girls gym in the basement of the girls dorms because I could wear just a sports bra and yoga pants. Drama was really fun because Lexi took it with me and I had art with my other friend Maura.
I went back to my dorm and did my homework then I took off my makeup, after I went down to the gym and worked out for an hour. I got ready for my date with Anthony preferring to go with a more casual look. Dark Blue skinny jeans, a purple shirt with a smiley face on it and dark blue heels and normal wavy blonde hair.
(Annabeth POV)
I woke up and 5:45 and got into my tank top and yoga pants. I slipped into the elevator and went down to the gym. I realized that taking the elevator ruined the point but I shrugged it off. I worked out for about an hour and then went back upstairs, this time using the stairs. I trudged back into the dorm and nodded to my best friend, Thalia. Who had just woken up, at 6:45, to do her makeup and who knows what else.
I went into my bathroom and frowned at the purplish-blue bags underneath my eyes. My frizzy hair was weighed down by perspiration. I jumped in the shower, letting the hot water refresh me. I got out and marveled at the French or Italian designs that made this bathroom look elegant. The full wall mirror was a big help but the double sinks served no purpose seeing as each dorm was equipped with two bathrooms, two walk-in-closets and even had a mini bar/kitchen. I walked into my closet, bored by the monotony of my clothes' colors.
I decided on a pale yellow skirt that stopped a few inches above the knee and a pale pink ruffled blouse with beige heels. I straightened my frizzy hair to perfection leaving the ends with a little curl. I put on my make up to look as natural as possible and headed out the door wobbling a little unused to the new height. I sat on my bed and put my books in my oversized shoulder purse. Thalia came out of the bathroom dressed in similar garb but in darker shades.
She was wearing a black skirt a bit shorter than mine with a light blue polo and black stiletto heels about 5 inches high, how she could walk in them was a mystery. I smiled at Thalia and she smirked back.
"Let's go, preppy princess." She teased.
"I'm not a princess!" I whined, angry that she would even try to say that I was shallow.
"Really?" She cocked an eyebrow, "The price tags that I see in the trash tell me otherwise."
"As if your clothes don't cost as much!" I shot back.
"Someone's feeling witty today!" Thalia teased. I sighed knowing this would never end if we kept going.
I walked across the covered walkway to the school. On one side of the school were the girls dorms and on the other side were the boys dorms. I opened the fancy glass doors and walked in. Noticing Luke among the people parting the way, I shot him a glare. I saw Percy standing on the other side, I ran towards him. I linked him arm in mine and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"No PDA!" Complained Thalia, suddenly standing right next to me.
She moved in between me and Percy, separating our arms. I rolled my eyes at my friend's childish antics. I checked my phone, seeing that it was only 7:20. I dragged Percy away from our annoying friend. We went to classroom 1-36 it was never used but the janitors kept it clean just in case, it was the old English classroom but since the recession many students dropped out and there was less need for as many classrooms.
I pulled Percy close to me and my lips met his with burning passion. A frenzy of well placed kisses and lustful moans was the only thing on my mind at the moment.
"Oh, eww, really guys? We were supposed to meet here and you guys end up making out." Percy's cousin Nico was standing at the door, complaining as always.
I rolled my eyes but hesitantly removed my swollen lips from Percy's. I smirked at Nico and gave Percy a quick peck on the lips. Nico childishly covered his eyes and I yet again rolled my eyes at his antics. It was about 7:35 so I left Nico and Percy to talk about whatever boys talk about and I went back to Thalia who was flirting with some boy. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away, ignoring her complaints. I dragged her to our lockers and she reluctantly took her books and headed to American Lit. while I went to AP Geometry.
I hated the class, it wasn't just that the class was overrun with Halfways, it was that the teacher was awful. I was trying to be an architect so I needed some background with math and shapes, right? I wasn't getting it, I would most likely have to take the class in college.
The crazy girl who changed her style pretty much everyday was standing in the front of the classroom, scanning the room for a seat, we locked eyes. Disgust and annoyance were clear in her eyes. Luckily she took one far away from me. I hated her, I didn't know her but her sense of style and her overconfidence annoyed me. I preferred to stay with the others of my class, who actually knew what I went through and didn't just think I was a stupid, shallow person.
That class was soon over and I had to go to French, it was my favorite language. I took the class with Piper, who was much better at French than I was. We did some listening exercises and did some writing along with taking notes. I then went to 3rd period which was History, the teacher just made us watch a movie and take notes, at the end she gave a short lecture on the topic. Then I went with Piper to lunch.
I sat with Percy, Thalia, Nico, Piper and Jason. We were the so called 'elite' of The Pretties. Piper and Jason talked amongst themselves about some date they were going on and chuckled at past ones. Thalia, Percy and Nico started shooting spitballs at some Uglies until I told them to stop. Pretty much we all ate the same thing. We all had a slice of pizza and a soda. Percy had Orange Fanta, Nico and Thalia had Pepsi, Jason and Piper and Coca-Cola and I had diet Mountain Dew. Piper and I had salads also though.
My 4th period was Study Hall so I did all my homework that I had that evening so I could spend my free time with my friends. 5th and 6th period were electives so I took art and music history. On Thursdays I had double PE, like most girls I preferred to work out in the private gym instead of in an actual gymnasium.
I went back to my room and did my homework, by that time it was about 6:45 so I went to the gym and worked out for an hour, at 8 o'clock I took a shower and washed my face. Then Thalia came back from wherever she was and we talked until about 9:30
