Percy POV

If you haven't experienced a heartbreak once in your life, then you can't ever spot it in other people. I'm one of the few teenagers that have and can tell, that's my secret though the only thing keeping me from being a total jerk-face. I'm never ever telling that story to anyone… EVER!

This is the first day of my senior year, I can maybe have a good year and actually talk to my two year crush, okay maybe I have two secrets that I've never told anybody. When I say no one I mean NO ONE not even my cousins know my secrets well, they know part of my heartbreak but not all of it. I'd rather not anyone knowing anyway.

Some one came up from behind me and shoved me against the wall beside front door and shoved their tongue into my mouth. I looked down at her face and realized it was Calypso. CALYPSO! I TOLD HER THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE HER BOYFRIEND, I THOUGHT I GOT THAT POINT ACROSS!Anyways when Calypso came up behind me and kissed me. I was trying to get her off of me by all means possible but DANG that girl had a strong grip! I glanced up trying to catch someones eye that would help me when I saw her, she was inside her grey and ocean blue car, her eyes looked betrayed and hurt, the look of a broken heart, I didn't know why though. She was looking straight at me for what seemed like forever.

Our gaze was broken by Thalia who waved her hand in front of her gaze. Annabeth yelled at her, wonder why and locked her in the car. I always wondered how they stay friends. My ADHD mind made me think all this in the matter of five seconds, I pushed Calypso off and started to think of something to yell at her when the bell rang and a crowd rushed past me towards their homeroom teachers, somewhere in there was crush with curly hair and the other curly headed girl was my best friend even though she doesn't know it anymore. I think she underestimates herself with all her talent.

I'll describe her to you, she has her own way of looking at the world as in the most logical way possible—

"Hey Percy!" a chirpy voice that belonged to the school's fortune teller Rachel Elizabeth Dare or 'RED' if you will. The name is ironic because she has fiery red hair with a frenzy of curls. What a coincidence huh?

"Hi Rachel," I said in a somewhat pained voice.

"So are you still going out with Calypso?"

"No!" I said maybe a little to loudly.

"Oh well, I assumed since you two were kissing it up back there." she trailed off while looking at the spot that Calypso and I were at "Anyways would you like your fortune?" Now let me tell you this when ever Rachel asks if you want your fortune its usually because she needs to tell you something and blame it on her, what's the word, unique ability, or its just she wants something.

"What do you want Rachel?"

"Why would I need something in order to tell one of my friends a fortune?"

"Because I know you RED and you don't just go around offering them up," I paused to think, "in fact you try to hide it. So I repeat myself what do you want?"

We had a stare off and let me tell you, it was pretty scary with her intense green eyes. I mean sure they were surrounded by kid freckles but Rachel could make the bravest person in the world cower under her stare if she wanted to. See the word if in there, yeah well right now she doesn't want me to cower and bow at her feet because she caved not me, score one for Percy.

"Fine, I need to tell you something that one of my friends told me what she overheard Annabeth yelling at Thalia this morning and I consulted Piper to it." Rachel stopped to breath for about thirty seconds, "So then Piper confirmed that it was true but that I can't tell anyone and it's about you."

"Okay so let me get this straight," I breathed slowly before continuing "one of your frie—"

"Silena Jacobs to be precise." she interrupted.

"Silena J. told you that she overheard what Annabeth was yelling at Thalia about, so you went to talk to Piper about it to confirm that Annabeth did yell at Thalia this morning?"

Rachel face-palmed, then groaned as she slowly slid her hand down her face bringing some of the fiery curls with it, "Percy you are so dense," I rolled my eyes, "Piper confirmed that what Annabeth yelled was true, but the words that she was yelling was about you."

"So?"

"Percy, I have to give you a fortune that hurts a lot of the female population and one of them may be embarrassed to tell you because I have to tell you through prophecy fortune things."

"Okay go ahead."

Rachel started to close her eyes and swoon a little bit, most of the onlookers in the hallway were just staring at her in amazement, while a few of them grabbed two chairs like they were meant for the job, one chair for me and the other for her.

"One you hold close to your heart, holds you closer. Fear not for it will not be just some closure. If it is to be than make it so, if not than God's reap the soul."

Rachel then collapsed into the waiting arms of her servants/ minions they seem to be everywhere. One came up behind me and handed me a scroll that just had the little fortune written down. Quicker than it began, everything went back to normal and I had my first class for the day.

~LINE BREAK~ *IDEA CENTER LOADING

My morning classes were so boring, in fact I was excited for math. That's how bad it was. It was just blah blah blah blah blah science blah blah blah bah blah english blah blah blah… Then it was lunchtime! I bolted out of my seat and out the door in a matter of seconds. I think I broke some world records with that speed, but you know that's done on a daily basis, so whatever.

As I walked everyone quit talking I didn't know why, I didn't really care either. It was when I got out of line and was searching for anywhere but where the "popular" crowd was. I was actually looking for my cousins' table. I finally spotted it when someone squealed and then was quickly muffled. I followed that sound, only one person could make that sound, well two actually, Piper, the squealer, with Thalia, the muffler. Thalia's the best at muffling actually.

"Could I by chance sit here?" I asked subtly with just enough curiousness that I didn't sound over eager or like I didn't care at all.

By this time Thalia had already let Piper loose with muffling so she answered for the table, "Of course you could Percy, but be careful where you sit." she started to point towards seats while calling people off, starting with the seat right beside Thalia making her way left, "Annabeth, Open, Leo, he's scared of her, Hazel, she's a real sweetie, Frank, huge crush on Hazel we're trying to get them together, Reyna, she's a loner but good in a fight and sometimes funny, Connor, short Stoll, Travis, tall Stoll, otherwise known as the one that likes Katie, and speaking of Katie, that's Katie she likes gardening, Open, and finally Jason, my boyfriend so don't get all bro with him." she finished with a glare.

"Okay looks like I'm sitting next to Annabeth."

"Why are you sitting at our table?" a voice cracked, before I even turned around I knew it was a guy that hadn't fully hit puberty, what I can somewhat tell, not really I'm just guessing.

I turned around to see a mixture of a hispanic with Santa's elf with a mischievous glint in his eye, that I knew I could trust but to always have an eye out for some pranks. "I'm Leo, an you are?" he said finally.

"Percy."

"Now back to my question, Percy. Why are you sitting here?"

"I wanted to sit with my cousins and friends."

"Cool," he said chirply but leaned next to my ear, "if you hurt anybody at this table in any form or fashion prepare for a whole world of pranks and Leo the Diablo to come out on you."
