Sorry. This chapter is 2 reviews late. I was really busy and I did something wrong with my iPod and had to restore it and I was worried sick, because I mostly write my FanFiction on my iPod and I was worried something would accidentally delete my stories and I'll stop rambling now. Just read.

Annabeth's POV

This was the worst day of my life. It started out so great, too. I woke up at 6:30 and just lied there for a minute, replaying yesterday in my head. First day of school. Almost late. Couldn't open locker. Cute boy helped me. Wait! I didn't think that. Orientation. Found out cute boy's name, Percy. ANNABETH! QUIT CALLING HIM CUTE! My mind screamed. Went to lunch. Saw Percy sitting at my table. Talked to Percy at lockers. Blushed while Percy was looking at me. Went to the library. Read. Went to locker. Percy asked for my opinion. Percy took me home. I ate dinner. I studied. I read. I fell asleep. "Pretty normal day." I tell myself. I get up and look at the clock. 6:45. I jump into the shower, slather my curls in shampoo suds, and massage smooth conditioner into my soft hair. I get out and wrap a towel around myself. I go into my room and grab my clothes. I pick out a simple orange tank top and denim shorts. I throw on some silver flip-flops and brush back my soft curls into a ponytail. I grab my backpack and grunt. It's heavier because of the 7 or 8 books I bought home. I stagger downstairs where my step mom, Helen, was cooking breakfast. Helen is a petite, Asian woman. She made scrambled eggs, fruit, and pancakes. I see Bobby sneaking towards my plate. I sneak up, and right when he's about to take a big bite of my pancake, I lift him up and carry him into the living room. He pounds on my back and I dump him on the couch. I see Matthew walking up to my plate and I run over. I scoop him up, carry him to the couch, and dump him next to his brother. They're cracking up and Helen is stifling a smile. I saunter over to my plate and start eating. I shoot a smug look at my brothers as I take a big bite of my pancake. Helen rolls her eyes and starts doing the dishes. I finish breakfast and run out the door. As I walk to school, I see a couple holding hands and looking dreamily at each other. I frowned. Luke never did that with me. I shook my head. Positive thoughts. When I got inside school, I saw Luke hurrying towards me. I got a bad feeling inside my stomach as I greeted him.

"Hi Luke. What's wrong?" I asked. Obviously something was wrong. His hair wasn't brushed and his eyes looked wary, and angry. His lips looked like they housed a permanent scowl and over all, he just looked stressed. "Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Annie." He replied. I almost detected sarcasm, but shook the thought away. "Luke, I'm going to find out and, for your own safety, don't ever call me Annie again." I joke, but he doesn't smile. "We just need to talk." He said wearily and walked off. I ran to catch up with him. I followed him to the science classroom. I sat at one of the desks and pressed, "Luke, please, I want to know." I hated not knowing things and he knew that. "Fine." He gave in. He drawer out his phone and flipped through the pictures he's taken. He stopped at one and flipped the phone around so I could see a picture. It was a photo of Percy holding my hand, him talking to his mom. It looked like we were dating. My eyes widened and my jaw drops to the floor. He smirks, then returns to his frown. I sighed and started. "Luke, we aren't dating. He came up to me for a book report suggestion, then asked me if I needed a ride home, and since you couldn't take me home, I said okay. He took me home and that's it. To explain the picture, he had grabbed my hand to lead me outside and he was asking his mom if the could take me home." I explained. He still looked skeptical and shook his head. "What about yesterday at lunch? You two looked in love." He questioned. "I smiled at him, because earlier that day he helped me open my locker before orientation. I couldn't get it and he got it for me." I reasoned, starting to get annoyed.

"You could've told me that." Luke drawled. "Okay. You want to know everything happening in our relationship?" I was fed up with him. He nodded, leaning toward me. "Fine. I've done nothing wrong in our relationship ever. I've never thought of a another boy since yesterday." His eyes widened, but I was on a roll. "Yes, Percy is dating Rachel, not me. After orientation, the reason I was still in the auditorium, was because I wanted to learn the name of the person who opened my locker. I met Percy then. After that, we went to class and talked after lunch. When the day was over, he took me home. That's it. Believe me now?" I had probably rambled for 2 minutes, and I was out of breath. Luke said nothing. "Well, now I want to know everything about your side of our relationship. He narrowed his eyes and took out his phone. He scrolled through the pictures for 5 minutes. He came to a picture of the day he asked me to be his girlfriend, 2 years ago. We were both so happy. He scrolled to the next one. It was dated the same day, but he was with another girl. She was kissing him. He kept on showing me pictures like that. First one, we had a date, next one, he was smooching with another girl. 7 pictures showing more then smooching and one showed them both in a heated make out session. After he showed me the last one, I had tears running down my face. It didn't help that I punched him, hard, in the nose. I heard and felt a satisfying crunch. He staggered back, then slapped my face hard. I could feel a bruise forming. I kicked him in his soft spot and he crumpled. I planted my foot on his chest and lowered my tear stricken face till our faces were inches apart. The tears kept flowing, but I dangerously whispered, "You shouldn't have made me do this. I loved and trusted you, but now, everyone in the whole school will know what an epic fail you are." His eyes got scared look as I took his phone and typed furiously for 5 minutes. I sent all the pictures he showed me to my phone.

Then I threw his phone on his chest and started walking out. He lashed out and tripped me. My legs crumpled and I fell, the tears coming back fresh. He leaned over me and flipped me on my back. "Let's forget about that, and I'll give you what I gave those other girls." He bribed. The tears came harder and I scrambled up and started toward the door. He grabbed my wrist, very hard, and snapped me back. I was too busy crying to do much, but I did manage to kick him in his special spot, but this time, 3x harder. He crumpled and stayed that way. I grabbed his phone and smashed it on the ground. It broke and I ran out of the classroom and ran down the halls. I passed Rachel and Percy and they looked at each other with love. I was happy that they worked things out, but when they saw me, I could only see concern and worry in their eyes. I ran to the library and went to my special spot. Nobody, not even the librarian, knows my special spot. I kinda built it. I found it about a month ago when I came in the summer, because the library has a summer reading program Under my favorite chair was a patch of rough carpet. All the other carpet is soft and the carpet under my chair should be softer, because all the feet wouldn't have walked on it, but it was as rough as sandpaper. I pulled back the corner and underneath that was a trap door. I pulled back the trap door and found a ladder leading to a simple concrete room. I'm guessing that it was made for the purpose of a storm shelter. I went down and fixed it up.

The walls were now painted purple and it had plush grey carpet. A replica of my library chair sat in a corner and a bookshelf sat next to it. A mini fridge sat at the corner in front of my chair. A purple lamp sat next to my chair and a desk sat in the middle of the wall opposite the lamp. A T.V. sat in the last corner and a small cot sat against the wall, cause sometimes I tell my dad I'm going over to a sleep over and I come here. I now come down the ladder and close the door before I hear Luke burst into the room yelling my name. I jump into the center of the room and burst into a wave of fresh tears. And here I am now. I've been here for about 10 minutes. I'm curled up in a fetal position in the middle of the floor and my body is shaking with quiet sobs. I still can't believe that sweet, kind, gentle Luke could've done all that to me. I loved him more then Percy was hot. And that boy is steaming in a freezer. I trusted him, but I was wrong. Nothing ever this bad had happened to me after my mom died. It hurt so much, I felt like my heart was about to die. I felt useless, used, wasted. It was awful. I heard the faint ring of last period and I picked myself of the plush floor. I made myself climb out of my clubhouse and secretly get out. I trudged to my locker and remembered that Percy was 4 lockers down from me! I couldn't talk to him. I sped up and made it to my locker before I saw anyone heading down my hall. I grabbed all my stuff and started down the hall before I heard two voices that made me want to cry. They were both male voices. One was smooth and the other gentle. I could identify immediately the voices. The smooth was Luke and the gentle one was Percy. I ran back to my locker and did something I would've never done if it wasn't for the circumstances.

I jumped into my locker squishing myself against the metal wall as I listened to the guys conversation. "I'm telling you she's no good." I heard the smooth voice, Luke. "How do you know?" The gentle voice asked, Percy. "Apart from Annabeth, she's the worst girl in this school." Luke's voice held contempt. I felt like ripping the metal door off and shutting Luke up once and for all, but I didn't dare. "What? Annabeth and Rachel are the best girls in this school. Annabeth is one of my best friends and I love Rachel." Percy argued. My heart swelled. I was one of his best friends. That meant a lot. "Come on. This morning, Annabeth showed me a bunch of pictures showing us going on dates and then her making out with some other guy. I broke up with her immediately. Also I saw Rachel kissing Ethan Nakamura behind the school dumpster." Luke was starting to get annoyed and I was just waiting for the right moment. "I don't know." Percy sounded disbelieving and skeptical. That was it. I burst out of the locker and tackled Luke. I heard a grunt from Luke and Percy said my name very confusedly. I flipped Luke over and planted my knee on his chest. I pushed my forearm up to his throat and a white-hot lump of heated emotions expanded in my chest. (sound familiar?:D).

"I heard your conversation, Luke." Every word was clipped of and filled with venom. "YOU cheated on ME! Rachel and Ethan were never making out. You are a lying pathetic jerk. You just wanted Rachel for yourself, only to break her heart, like you broke mine. I hurt you then and I'm not afraid to hurt you now." I was sick of him messing up people's lives. He needed to stop. Percy was behind me and I'm guessing he had a look on his face like a mix of horror, disgust, and realization. "Luke, you were trying to take Rachel?" Percy's voice was dangerously quiet. "Uh, duh. She has a great personality and she is so hot. Every guy looks at her with wanting. You're so dense Percy." Luke drawled. I saw Percy tense up. "Go ahead, Percy." I said in a sugary sweet voice that completely gave away my intentions. I moved my knee so it was horizontal on his chest and I pressed my arm and knee down harder. In the heat of the moment, Luke's legs were splayed and Percy knew what I was talking about. He got a mischievous glint in his eyes and his troublemaker smile reappeared, only it was more evil. He drew his foot back and let it fly. Luke realized what was happening only to late. His eyes widened and then came the kick. His face scrunched up in pain and he screamed in pain. Percy helped me up and Luke started rolling on the floor in pain, moaning in agony. "Good kick." I congratulate him.

"Thanks. Nice tackle and judo-flip." He answers. "Thanks." "So what did you mean by he was cheating on you?" Percy seemed utterly confused. "Well,Luke said that it was me making out with some other guy, when it was him making out with some other girl. Luke showed me those pictures. I was devastated." I explain, my voice catching every time I said Luke's name. He nodded. "Did he give you this bruise?" His fingers brushed over the bruise on my cheek. "Yes and one on my wrist." I show him the inside of my wrist, still red, purple, blue, and black from when he snapped me back. It hurt tremendously. "But I'm fine. I see you and Rachel patched things up." I commented. "Yes, but why is your fist bleeding?" He wouldn't stop. "I punched Luke in the nose and my fist started bleeding." "Okay. I've got to go." He agreed with my inner feelings. "Me too." I walk away, out the door and into new beginnings.

Kinda Cliffy!
