Third Person POV

Annabeth Chase smiled wickedly at her two best friends as they made their way over to Rachel Dare and Stefanie Alout, the two most popular girls in primary school (For Americans, Elementary). Thalia and Annabeth had sorted out a plan to get Rachel and Stefanie back for calling them 'losers' the day before. The only reason Silena was there was because they had dragged her along to scare them because Silena was the most popular girl in HER year.

"Hey Rachel, I'm Silena. Now, I heard that you called my two best friends, LOSERS, is that right? Well back off. And stop being bullies," Silena said confidently and then stalked off in the other direction, leaving Thalia and Annabeth to deal with the drama.

"So, she's your friend? That's SO cool. She's like sooo popular!" Rachel said and Thalia and Annabeth looked at each other in surprise.

"Are you serious?" They asked and Rachel rolled her eyes at Stefanie.

"Um, of course! So, want to hang out tomorrow? We meet at the canteen after school. See you then, bye!" Rachel smiled and walked away, linking arms with Stefanie.

"OMG, did Rachel Elizabeth Dare just ask us to hang out? No way, Percy's never going to believe this!" Thalia said as she rushed away with Annabeth.

Percy POV

I sat in my room doodling Rachel Dare's name all over my notebook as I fantasized about me and her. But my peace was short-lived as soon Thals and Annie came bursting in my room.

"OMG PERCY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS-

"YEAH RACHEL ASKED US TO HANG OUT! YOU JEALOUS?"

Thalia and Annabeth looked so excited to tell me, but the news was boring, I figured it'd happen sometime, I mean girls always change friends; it's really weird if you ask me.

"Nice, and I care because..?" I said as I turned back to doodling Rachel's name in bubbly letters.

"Um, because you like her so you're totally jealous right?" Thalia said and Annabeth grinned, bobbing her head beside her.

"Uh, no I don't. Besides we're only 10 it's not like I ACTUALLY could SERIOUSLY like her!" Percy said in defense.

"Uh huh so explain those millions of doodles of her NAME!" Annabeth grinned and pointed at the notebook that lay open on Percy's desk.

"Shut up Annabeth. Ugh, no wonder no one likes you wise girl." Percy stuck his tongue out at her but his victory died down as soon as Annabeth punched him square in the face.

"OW! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!" Percy shoved them out and began doodling once more as he thought of himself and Rachel getting married.

Third Person POV

"Okay, we have to use Annabeth and Thalia to get close to Silena and Perseus. Okay?" Rachel asked Stefanie, her BFF (Best Friends Forever) who was painting her nails a new, gold shade.

"Um, whatever. I don't really give about Perseus though Silena is totally someone we need to get close to if we're going to be popular. Well, we already kind of are, but WHO CARES!" Stefanie rolled her eyes at Rachel who thought Percy was the coolest guy ever. Yeah right.

"Okay then let's get started with our plan!" Rachel said and took a fresh piece of paper and a pen out.

"We don't need a plan Rachel, get real. They'll follow ANYTHING we do. Trust me." Stefanie said as she got up and walked over to the make-up section in Rachel's beauty room. She picked out a mascara and a lip gloss and applied them in front of the mirror.

"God, your makeup sucks, mine is so much better. Seriously, buy the really good ones and maybe one day you'll look as good as me." Stefanie said as she put the makeup back.

"I already look better than you." Rachel mumbled and Stefanie glared at her.

"What did you say? I'll have you know that blonde hair is way prettier than red hair and curls are better than frizzes and less freckles is prettier than more freckles and blue eyes are nicer than green eyes." Stefanie told Rachel.

"No! I'm so much prettier than you and blonde hair with blue eyes is disgusting!" Rachel argued

"NO IT'S NOT! YOU ARE UGLY. UGH. I'M LEAVING!" Stefanie got up, grabbed her stuff and slammed the door on her way out.

Stefanie's POV

I walked out of Rachel Stupid Dare's house and ran down the street to my BFF Melanie's house. Of course Rachel didn't know that I hated her and that Melanie was my BFF and always will be because our names both end with ie. Rachel is boring and all she ever talks about is Percy and trying to kill Annabeth and Thalia for being friends with him.

I knocked on the big oak door and Melanie's gorgeous mum opened the door. Unfortunately her personality wasn't as nice as her looks and she gave me a dirty look as she opened the door wider for me to step in.

"Thank you Mrs. Abletry." I said. The only reply I got was a glare but I was soon up and running to Melanie's room.

"Hey Mel! God finally got out of Rach's house. She's such a brat." I said but when Mel turned from her seat she gave me a glare.

"Why do you always talk trash about Rachel? I'm going to tell her!" Mel turned back to her computer and logged on to facebook.

"What? MELANIE! ARE YOU SERIOUS? OMG DO NOT TELL HER WHY WOULD YOU TELL HER!" I screamed and slammed my fist down on her table.

"Shh! My mother is going to hear you! Calm Do-

"GIRLS WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE, WHY DO I HEAR SCREAMING WHEN I AM ON THE MOST IMPORTANT PHONE CALL OF MY LIFE! YOU GIRLS ARE IMPOSSIBLE. NOW GET OUT OR SHUT UP!" Mrs. Abletry slammed the door and I heard her heels clicking down the wooden hallway.

"I told you so! Look, I was just joking, god get some anger management classes!" She turned around and switched on a song.
We were soon dancing to the beat and having tons of fun laughing at each other.
After that we played dress up and took turns strutting down her professional mini runway, built by some stage makers that her mums modeling agent had hired. Her mum was a tall blonde haired blue eyed model that took modeling very very seriously. She was often stopped for autographs because she had so many modeling jobs by now.

"OH CRAP IT'S 6 O'CLOCK! Gotta go Mel, see ya tomorrow at the party! Bye!" I rushed out of her house and across the street and across three houses down to my house.

Annabeth's POV

"Annabeth, get down here and clean up your brothers mess!" My stepmum screamed up the stairs to me. I was just in the middle of watching Doctor Who. I scurried down the stairs and raised my eyebrows at the huge mess my brothers had made.

"Hurry up and clean it you lazy ignorant girl!" My stepmum slapped me on the cheek and left it stinging like hell. I started picking up the teddy bears and lego bits when my father came in.

"Annabeth honey why are you picking up Bobby and Matthew's mess?" My dad asked.

"Mum made me clean it up. She said if I didn't then I was a lazy ignorant girl! And she slapped me!" I had had enough of pretending my stepmum was nice to me when in reality she hated me, she slapped me, she screamed at me, she made me do things just so she could enjoy watching me be tortured.

"Really? Lily! Get out here RIGHT NOW!" My dad had his angry face on and I could tell this was something I did NOT want to be involved with.

"Is something wrong dear?" My stepmum asked innocently. She had heard what I said from the kitchen but she was pretending she hadn't.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! HOW CAN YOU SLAP MY DAUGHTER AND CALL HER A LZY 'IGNORANT GIRL!" He was shouting now and Lily looked scared to death.

"Please, dear stop shouting, you'll frighten Bobby and Matthew. I never slapped the stupid girl, she's making it all up!" Lily argued.

"YOU JUST CALLED HER A STUPID GIRL. AND WHY DO YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT BOBBY AND MATTHEW? I THOUGH YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT WHEN YOU MOVED IN WITH ANNABETH AND I SHE WOULD BE YOUR DAUGHTER TOO! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! TONIGHT YOU CAN SLEEP IN A HOTEL! JUST GET OUT!" My dad pushed her up the stairs and told her to pack her things. He dropped his briefcase and then came to hug me.

"It's okay Annabeth, no wonder all these years you've been so sad. It's all okay now. I'm not going to slap you. It's okay…It's okay…"
