A/N hey guys! Well, since I hadn't had that authors note up for long, I kinda expected like not many people to give some suggestions. that's okay.. my stories not that good I know, but it's my first story so take pity on me! Anyways, one of my friends gave me a small idea just for this chapter so here it is but for the rest of the story, i'll still need help :P
Percy's POV
I stepped off the big yellow bus into the familiar grounds of high school. It'd been two years since I started dating Rachel. I looked around until I caught sight of her frizzy red hair. She was talking to Beatrice, one of her cheerleading friends when Annabeth Chase, the head cheerleader and my ex-best friend came over and told Rachel to go away. I frowned. Ever since I started dating Rachel, Annabeth had stopped talking to me, along with Thalia. Now the two of them were the most popular girls in school with Annabeth dating Luke and Thalia dating Travis. They, along with Silena, Juniper, Bianca and Katie ruled the school. No one dared cross their path, talk back to them, or even TRY to hang out with them. They were a tight group. They sat at lunch with Luke, Grover, Nico (for some weird reason), Beckendorf, Connor, Travis and Chris (A guy we met in high school).
I hated them. And they all hated me. Even Nico, who'd admired me ever since we met and I showed him I could hold my breath underwater for 2 minutes. Even if they hated me, they wanted to KILL Rachel. They hated her more than anyone in our school. Which is why I hated them. Now everyone avoided Rachel and I unless they HAD to talk to us. If they got paired up with us, they would make us look bad just to look cool in front of Thalia or Annabeth. And to think they were my best friends..
Annabeth's POV
I stared at Percy who was in front of me. I regretted ever telling him I hate him. I regret telling the whole school to hate him and Rachel. I regret losing one of the best friendships I ever had. But I can never take it back.
'Anna, Anna. Anna! ANNABETH CHASE!' Thalia screamed in my ear and the whole class turned to look at us. I blushed. but Thalia glared at them.
'Mind your own business losers!' She barked.
Rachel whirled around, her frizzy hair flying everywhere.
'You're way more of a loser than us. You low-life freak.' She said and then turned back to her work. Thalia glared at her, before getting out of her seat. She stalked out of the classroom, probably going to get her knife to stab Rachel. That was a joke.
"You know, you can't run away from your problems, you can only face them.' Rachel called out.
"Bitch, you just called yourself a problem. Nice one RED. nice one." I smirked at her. She glared and turned around but not before muttering;
"Walking dictionary."
I pushed my chair back and stood up.
"Slut." I said.
"What?" Rachel narrowed her eyes, about to jump out of her chair.
"Good to see you know your name." I remarked.
"You just crossed the line."
"Problem?" I smirked and her left eye started twitching.
"No. But you have one. A mental problem." Percy stood up and glared at me.
"Stay out of it Jackson." I took at step towards him, glaring.
"Why should I?" He said, but his voice was wavering.
"You really want to get beaten up by a girl?" I asked. He gulped and sat down. But he still glared at me.
"CLASS! SETTLE DOWN!" walked in and set his briefcase down on the desk. I shot Rachel one more glared and sat on my seat. Thalia rushed back in.
"Sorry . Message from Principle Zeus, he'd like to see Rachel Dare." She said and turned to Rachel, an evident smirk on her face. Rachel got up and when she walked out of the door, I saw her face had become white as chalk.
"What was that about?" I whispered to Thalia when she sat back down.
"You'll see. 's about to get into loads of trouble." She smiled evilly and I shuddered.
LUNCH
I sat on our regular table and waited for everyone else to come. But they didn't. I got up and looked around. Barely anyone was in the cafeteria. I frowned. What happened?
I stepped outside and looked around the hall, no one. So I walked towards the glass doors to the school, my cheerleader skirt swishing. I pushed open the doors and spotted a crowd near the fountains. As I neared I head people chanting 'Fight fight fight!' I pushed my way through and in the middle of the ring of people were two boys fighting. One of them was Percy and the other was.. Luke? Oh my god.
"LUKE!" I yelled and attempted to pull him away from Percy. Percy glared at me.
"STAY OUT OF IT ANNABETH!" He yelled and I shrunk back. I had never seen him so angry. I whirled around, looking for Rachel, wondering why she wasn't here.
"Annabeth!" Thalia called and I turned to see her face. I didn't expect a happy face from Thals but I did NOT expect to see her face, drained of colour and her eyes darting around frantically.
"Anna, come with me." She said and dragged me into the school.
"What is it Thals? WHY ARE THEY FIGHTING?" I looked back at the crowd of people, struggling to go back.
"Annabeth. Listen to me. You HAVE to break up with Luke. NOW." She said. I looked at her, stunned.
"What?" I asked in bewilderment.
"I can't tell you why. He has to but you have to break up with him. Please." Thalia was begging me now. She'd never begged anyone in her life. I knew it was serious. It didn't make it better when Rachel came up to us, her eyes dripping with tears, her nose red and her usually pink face was pale.
"Annabeth. I'm sorry." She said and ran off. I stared at her, confused. What was all this about?
A/N well, that's it. Guys, this time I really need help. I don't know what's going to happen after this chapter so I need ideas why Rachel is crying and why Luke and Percy are fighting, Seriously guys! Help!
