Chapter 2

The weekend went by slow. I was anxious but no text from Percy. I guess I was saved! I was relieved, or at least that is what I kept telling myself. Luke had to study for his exams, so we didn't hang out. This whole weekend I just spent time on my own doing what I usually do when I am not with Luke or hang out with Thalia. On Friday, I studied and finished any homework that was left for the weekend. On Saturday, I was helping this non-profit organization raise money for homeless people. Finally, Sunday, I went to church with my dad. That is what we do, we go our separate ways during the other 6 days, because of his work, but Sunday is our day. We attend church and have lunch afterward. Then for dinner we cook together. You might think it's awkward for us to just spend time one day of the week together, but he really is an amazing dad.

Monday morning Luke came to my house to pick me up. He was always the sweetest, he opened my door and everything. Apparently, not only did he study for his exams, he spent time with his Chemistry lab partner, Reyna. I did not know they were going to hang out, like at all. "It isn't like that with me and Reyna" Luke tried to tell me.

"Really? Cause she seems to have a big huge crush on you!" I tell him loudly. I usually tried to keep calm and keep my thoughts in order, but this just made my blood boil.

"She is a cheerleader, Annie. I am way out of her league." I hoped Luke didn't mean to insult me, but regardless, he did. A cheerleader? Like that's something out of the ordinary. Ugh. "What is that suppose to mean?" I ask, when he looks at me he tries to explain himself.

"I didn't mean it like that. I just meant, that cheerleaders don't go with guys like me." I am a softy because I calmed down. I hated that Luke always put himself down, that he held his teammates and cheerleaders in a higher rank than himself and sometimes even me. I hated it. "I still don't like that you two hung out together" I finish off barely in a whisper. He grabs my hand. "I would have rather spent time with you this weekend, but I was obligated. We didn't finish our lab assignment and it's due today, first thing in the morning." We both get out of the car. I go to my locker while he goes off to his. Our lockers are not located in the same location, so we kiss each other goodbye.

As I'm walking towards my locker, I notice Percy and other jocks at his locker. This almost makes me turn around. I mean, this jock, Grover is really big and just the biggest jerk ever. He really scares me, even more than Percy, himself. I mean, Percy was the biggest man on campus and everyone feared him the most, but Grover was just rude and didn't mind name calling anyone, and I mean anyone. Percy notices me and smirks at me. I see a twinkle in his eyes, but I quickly look down, and as I pass these jocks, Grover of course adds, "There goes Princess." I really didn't know why he called me Princess, but I didn't like it. He started calling me Princess right after he so rudely pushed into me and dropped my books and didn't even help me. I hated that and I don't know why, but I turn around just in time to see Percy smacking (playfully) Grover's arm in gesture for him to stop.

I stop at my locker and Thalia is already there. She is totally opposite of me. She likes to wear these black punk style clothes, spikes her hair up, and wears dark makeup, but her dark makeup helps bring out her blue eyes.

"Amazing. I went camping with Jason and dad. Mom of course didn't want to go, because you know..it is the outdoors" she finishes off with an eye roll. Jason is her younger brother. He actually goes to this school too, and he even sits with us at lunch. He is the only other boy besides Luke who sits with us. I probably forgot to mention, our little group consist of Thalia, Luke, Jason, Piper, and myself.

"How about yours?Did you end up spending time with Luke?" Ugh. She had to mention my weekend, just as Percy was walking towards my locker. "Oh, no Luke was studying and well, I did what I usually do when both of you are busy." I try to be discreet because the jocks were passing by and part of me doesn't want Percy to know how lame I am, not that I think I am lame, but tame compared to his life and the girls he hung out with. Thalia stares at Percy and sticks her tongue at him, I really don't understand their relationship. I mean, style wise they are totally opposite, but personality wise I guess they were similar. Don't miss with Thalia cause she will set you straight, but she is also sweet, and I don't think I can say that about Percy. I have seen Thalia and Percy speak to each other and acknowledge each other in the hallways, but I didn't think they were friends. Maybe they spoke because of Jason? I mean, he was also in the swim team, not varsity like Percy and Luke, but JV. Thalia always made her disgust known when she would see Percy kissing different girls during just one school day. The school bell rings and we head to class.

I had History with Thalia so we walked together. Luke had Chemistry for first, so he was probably off with Reyna. Ugh. I hated her. Thalia kept talking about a band that was to perform in New York this weekend, but I wasn't sure if I was going to go with her. This whole mess with Luke was dragging me down. I guess, this is why Thalia never liked Luke. Thalia and I became friends in 8th grade, and well, she was vocal when Luke and I started to date, but that was at the beginning, now she just sits there and rolls her eyes, when he says something. I think she does it for my sake, to keep the peace for me and knowing Thalia, that is as tame as she is ever going to get.

The week passes without incident. No one is getting their face pounded (I guess, that by now you know I mean Luke), I haven't seen Reyna, Thalia is still Thalia fickle as ever. I had agreed to go with her to the concert, but she now tells me she is giving my ticket to some one else. I really didn't want to go, so I was okay with it. Finally, school lets out and since I won't see Luke this weekend, we hang out on Friday night. Because my father is never home, I really don't have a curfew.

We go see a movie and I really don't like this movie. It makes me think about my life. This girl has a boyfriend, her boyfriend cheats on her and they breakup. Later she catches the attention of the football player, and they start dating, but as it turned out she was just a bet. That is how the movie ends, I mean, C'mon, what happened to Hollywood and their happily ever afters? This is not what I needed this weekend when I was going to go without my boyfriend. Ugh. Afterward we went out for a quick bite to eat. Luke is spending time with his Grandfather, tomorrow at the home so he will be out of touch, and Sundays, well, its father-daughter day, that I won't give up.

As I get out of my car, I hear my phone. I recognize the ring signals a text and not a call, so I just ignore it while I head upstairs. I get ready for bed. I take a shower, brush my teeth, and get my book out. I like to draw before I go to bed. The house is quiet, it's always quiet, but I find that it relaxes me. I hear another text ring, and I remember I already had one unread. I go to read the first text and I swear I felt myself shake after I finished. It read:

I'll pick you up tomorrow at 10:00 am sharp. Be ready for a day with me. Oh and bring a bathing suit and a dress. Remember, you are not allowed to cancel on me. So if you have plans, cancel them. P.S I can't wait to get to kiss you." Percy.

I hoped that the other text was from him too, I hoped, wished, prayed that he had canceled or even said, Just kidding. But no. The other text was from Luke.

Sleep tight. I hope you dream of me, Annie. I love you.

His text warmed my heart, but it also made me feel awful. I mean, yes, I had agreed to hang out with Percy to save Luke's beautiful face, but I couldn't believe I had agreed to the kiss without putting up a fight. Was Percy really going to make me kiss him? I hoped he didn't. I put down my journal and tried to go to sleep. It was 2:00 a.m. when I am finally able to sleep, however, that didn't last long. Unconsciously, I might have still been thinking about it because I woke up 5 hours later thinking...how did Percy Jackson get my number?

Author's Note: I want to thank everyone who favored this story and/or reviewed the story. I also want to apologize in taking forever in updating, I am actually a couple of chapters into this story...like they are already written the problem is I currently have no internet access at home until March. So bear with me with the scarce updates, but I will try my best to have the next chapter posted sooner rather than later.

On Percy's point of view, I will be posting it, but I will start posting his separately from this story and after chapter five or six. I don't want to reveal a couple of things from his perspective just yet.
