Today was the first day of junior year. It was a terrible day.

I couldn't sleep.

So I decided to write my dairy.

Dear Diary

17 august

Normal day at school ( Maybe it wasn't a good day after all and I got detention for a week.)

Got up. Showered. Got ready. Breakfast. Went to school.

I got detention in history class. Maybe because I already knew everything.

I got immensely jealous in English class today . Maybe because Percy and Rachel were holding hands.

I can explain...

History is usually my favourite class. I like the subject very much. But as Miss Hera launched into a full detailed explanation about Ancient Greece I got bored. Its not that I didn't try to listen. Of course I was listening. I mean then it got so boring that I zoned out. Very soon I found myself daydreaming. I was sitting on a park bench alone reading a book. Its kind of funny how I read in my dreams too. I was really focused on my book. When suddenly a person slipped in next to me. I looked up to see the familiar face of my best friend smiling at me. My heart skipped a beat. My favourite love song played in the background. I saw him looking at me. I blushed.

" Percy I ..." I started.

" Go on. I m listening." He said.

" I wanted to tell you something." I managed.

" I know that. Just say it." He urged.

" I um..." I stuttered.

He nodded his head indicating me to go on.

" I love y-you." I finally said.

Percy opened his mouth to reply. But he spoke in Miss Hera 's voice

"This is a class. Not your bedroom, Miss Chase."

Next moment I woke up to see my teacher Miss Hera glaring at me. 'Gods! I m in trouble.' I thought. Miss Hera is a strict teacher. Never goes light on anyone. Besides she doesn't even like me. I think these feelings are mutual.

" Miss Chase detention for a week." She said.

" But Miss..." Thalia began " Annabeth..."

"Detention Miss Grace for a week."

"B-But I didn't-" She protested.

"Two weeks for you." She said pointing at Thalia .I never felt so embarrassed in my life. On top of it Thalia got detention because of me. I Felt bad for her. I have to apologise to her. Its my fault after all.

So that's how I got a detention for a week.

Well I kind of feel bad more about the dream than the detention. I wish if it was real.

I was in a really bad mood. Stupid teacher. I- Annabeth Chase the straight A grade student got a detention. I was mad. I had gotten a detention for the first time in my whole school life. This day couldn't get any worse. But I was wrong. It was just the beginning.

After history I had Math. It passed pretty quick. Then I had English. I walked into the class. Percy and Rachel were already in the class. Why do I have so many classes with her. I asked myself. Percy was sitting next to her. He kind of stopped sitting next to me ever since they started dating. Obviously she is his girlfriend . Its not that he does not sit with me at all. Just in those classes that he has with her . Anyway so I thought of sitting somewhere I would not have to see her face.

I saw Nico and Will in the back. I waved at them and went to sit next to them.

"Hi guys" I said. Before they could reply, I saw Mr Blofis enter.

"Morning class. Today we will be reading about -" He said. I started taking notes. Half way through the lesson I glanced towards the other side. I saw Percy and Rachel holding hands. I got a tightening feeling of jealousy when I saw that. Tears threatened to form in my eyes. I tried to blink them back. I tried my best to ignore them but I couldn't. That stupid Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I completely hate her. I tried to focus on the lesson but I was gripping my pencil so hard that I broke it in two halves. Rest of the lesson I spent fuming with jealousy and thinking of ways to murder Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I know its been 6 months since they have been dating. But I cant help feeling jealous at times. Its hard.I stormed out of the room with Nico and Will at my heels.

" Wait up Annabeth." I heard Nico call behind me.

" Yeah! I mean what's gotten into you? Rushing so fast." Will inquired.

" I m starving." I quickly lied.

" Oh I see. That's why you broke your pencil today." Will informed.

'Crap. He saw that. '

" I was angry." I told them.

" We know that. What happened?" Nico asked.

" Oh gods. Is it that stupid detention?" Will guessed.

" Yeah. That Hera. Wait how do you know?" I said as we reached the cafeteria.

" Well by now I guess the whole school knows." Nico said rolling his eyes.

'Damn it'

I thought finally I could relax at lunch. but no.. that devil has to ruin that too.

As I walked into the cafeteria with Nico and Will. I saw my other friends Clarisse, Chris, Calypso, Katie, Connor, Travis, Thalia and Luke. We went to sit with them.

" Hey Annabeth! Heard u got-"

"Detention?"

"Yeah somebody was telling me!"

"Is that true?"

"Thalia got it too."

'Di Angelo was right.'

I think by this time the whole school knows. Gossip travels faster than fire.

"Annabeth?"

"Yes! Yes! I got a week's detention."

"Alright. Don't be mad. We were just asking"

"If the rumours were true."

"That stupid Hera. I don't know why she hates me."

" She hates us too." Travis said.

"Right bro" Conner added.

"Yeah once we played an awesome prank on her." Travis said smirking.

"That was amazing. I remember. She didn't show up for a week." Conner said high fiving his brother.

I saw Percy and Rachel walk in the cafeteria hand in hand. 'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.' I sighed in frustration.

It was pretty normal for Rachel to sit with us now.

I remember the first time she came to our table that was 6 months ago.

They had just started dating. During lunch break they entered the cafeteria talking to each other.

Percy must have invited her to sit with us, cause I couldn't hear them. but I saw Rachel nodding.

'Ohh gods' I told myself.' Of course she would gladly accept.'

" Hey guys!" Percy said as he approached our table ." She is Rachel-"

"Elizabeth " Conner said

"Dare" Travis put in.

"Your" Chris chimed in.

"Girlfriend" Clarisse finished.

" So you know that." Percy said blushing and quickly changed the topic " Rachel these are my friends Conner, Travis, his girlfriend Katie, Clarisse , her boyfriend Chris, my cousin Thalia, her boyfriend Luke ,Calypso, Nico , Will and my best friend you know her-"

Best friend! How much I hate that word.

"Annabeth. Of course. Though we never talked much before." She said offering her hand and smirking. Finally ' the witch' got what she always wanted.

I shook her hand. Absolutely disgusted.

Soon Thalia and Luke, Chris and Clarisse, Katie and Travis left. Probably to make out.

It was just Calypso, Percy, Rachel , Nico , Will and Connor. Well me of course.

I started reading to avoid having to look at Percy and Rachel.

"Get a room you two." I heard Nico yell.

I looked up from my book to see Percy and Rachel kissing.

Tears were forming in my eyes. Yet again.

" I have to go to the library." I said getting up.

After that incident I tried to be happy for him.

As a heard in a movie ' If you are happy so am I.'

If Percy is happy I will try to be happy for him. That's what I have been doing for the past 6 months though.

Rest of the day went fine.

That was all for the day Diary. I am going to bed.
