"Beep! Beep! Beep!" sounded my annoying alarm. I grabbed my phone and turned it off.
"Ugh! Why so early?" I said into the air. Though, I knew that no one was even around me. I got up and changed. I picked out a loose tank top that says 'Life is better at the beach'. Sometimes it truly is. Then, I picked out some jean shorts. I brushed my hair and pulled it into a braid. I opened my door and a farmiliar scent drifed into my nose. Waffles. I thought hungrily. I walked down the stairs and caught a glimpse of my father putting on his jacket and grabbing his briefcase before he headed out to his car.
"Of course he is already gone." I whispered sadly. I wish there could just be one morning where I woke up and he is still here. But, I doubt that would ever happen.
"Morning Helen." I greeted.
"Good morning, Annabeth. You just missed your dad. He was going to come up and say goodbye but he didn't want to wake you." Helen smiled apolagetically. Of course he didn't want to come up. "You look cute today."
I smiled. "Thanks. Next time, tell him that I don't care if he wakes me up." I said with a hint of dissapointment in my voice. I grabbed a plate from the cabinet. I set it on the counter and waited for Helen to finish the waffles.
"Can you go wake your brothers, dear?" asked Helen. I nodded. Then, I headed upstairs. Bobby and Matt shared a room. It was at the opposite end of the hall upsairs. I opened thier door. They each had their own side of the room. You saw Bobby's side when ou first walked in.
"Bobby. Matthew. Its time to get up. It's waffle day!" They loved waffles. Bobby started throwing the covers off of his bed and Matthew groaned. I went to Matts bed and started tickling him.
"H-Hey! St-Sto-Stop it!" laughed Matt. I stopped. He looked at me with a grin on his face. "Bobby! Attack!"
I suddnly felt a heavy weight on my back. Bobby jumped on me. Then, Matthew started throwing pillows at me. I started laghing. Theese two were so cute.
"Okay, okay!" I laughed. "Lets go eat." I got up off the floor and Bobby and Matt followed. When I got to the kitchen, there was three plates on the counter. They each had two waffles on them. I picked up one and grabbed some strawberries I cut them up and put them on my waffles, then put a tiny bit of syrup on them. I ate quickly.
"Hey Helen...Can I take the Jeep to school today?" I asked. It was almost to late to be walking to school today.
"Yes. Neither of us need it. You have the keys?" said Helen. Perfect.
"Yep. Well, bye, Helen. Bye boys." I said. I grabbed my backpack and the Jeep keys. I went to the garage and got in the cute car. I pulled out of my driveway and headed to school.
As I passed Washington street, my thoughts drifted to Percy. Oh, how I would love to kill that boy. He made me so angry. I'm not even sure why he made me so angry. I mean, just him. Him in general. He said things about me when he didnot even know my name.
"Ugh! Get out of my head, Percy Jackson!" I said to myself. I turned on the radio. Stand By You by Rachel Platten was on. It was my favorite song. Rachel Platten was my favorite singer. She was very inspirational. I remember that when I first heard the song, I thought hat it was stupid. Then, I heard it again and I listened to it. Then I decided that I liked it. Yeah, I'm weird like that.
I pulled into school and found a parking spot. I saw Pandora and who I'm guessing was Saige walking up to school. I went over to them.
"Hey!" I greeted. Pandora smiled. The other girl waved. Her eyes read confusion.
"Annabeth, this is my twin, Saige." Pandora gestured to the girl next to her.
"Hi. Are you new here?" asked Saige.
"Yes. I just moved here from California." I replied. I liked Saige, too. The Thomas twins seemed nice.
"Oh, Annabeth, you look hot today. I'm sure boys will look." said Pandora. Seriously. I could care less what boys think about me.
"Pandora. I really don't care what people think about me. Especialy boys. Boys are stupid. Especially Percy Jackson." I said giving a hint of me being annoyed.
Saige gasped. "Percy? You know Percy? Why is he stupid?" Saige sounded confused. "You know, he's my boyfriend. I'm his girlfriend."
My mouth dropped. I didn't know he had a girlfriend. Then, my thoughts drifted to our fight. He said he had an amazing girlfrend. Huh. This is her. I'm suprised. I looked at her. I actually took in her appearance. She wore a light blue dress with lace at the top. She had on some cowboy boots that looked like the ones that Pandora wore on Monday. Sh had on light makeup. Her hair was just like Pandoras. But, Saiges eyes were a hazel. I couldn't tell what color they really were. They swiveled with green, brown, and a little bit of a gold color. They looked really nice on her. She somewhat looked like Percy's girlfriend.
"I met him on Monday. We really hate each other." I said. I decided to leave out the part about him helping me from the sidewalk.
" I'm going to go see him. Bye Pandora. Bye Annabeth. Nice to meet you." Saige said as she hurried off toward the school.
"She is just worried. She is nervous that Percy dosen't like her anymore. I told her that she has nothing to worry about. Percy is like my best friend and I know that he absolutely adores and loves Saige." Pandora shook her head. "You know, Percy isn't really a bad guy. He is actually really sweet and funny. If he was really a bad guy, he wouldn't have helped you when you were unconcious on the sidewalk." she had a point there. He did help me and he could have saved my life.
"But, he almost killed me! And he insulted me when he didn't even know my name!" I was getting angry again. "Ugh. Can we please just stop talking about Percy stupid Jackson. Please?"
"Yes. But I just want you to see that he is a great guy. Anyway, lets head to the lobby." Pandora suggested. She started walking and I followed. It was a silent walk, though. I payed attention to the students. Everyone was in a group. They had a bunch of friends. I had about two friends, (Saige and Pandora, ) and one enemy (Percy Jackson). I wanted to think about anything but him, so I thought about pitbulls. I wonder if I paid for one myself, if dad and Helen would let me get one? Huh. Something to consider.
When me and Pandora walked inside, I saw Percy kissing Saige. I walked past them, pretending that I didn't see a thing. I glanced over at Pandora and she had a sad expression on her face. She shook her head silently. I wonder if she liked Percy Jackson. They seemed like good friends.
One thing that I did know, was that I hared him. I would forever. Even if I saved his life from almost dying.

"Saige, listen to me. I love you. Nothing will ever change that." I said to my crying girlfriend.
"But Percy, I just want to know. Are we really going to last long? I'm not sure that I'm ready for a realashionship right now. Especially not from finding out that I can't do softball anymore." Saige cried some more after saying something about softball.
"But, you love softball?" I said that as a question. I am totally confused. "Why can't you do it anymore?"
"Percy, I have...I have... I have a bone disease called Osteoporosis. They said that it is a big risk for me to continue to play. I jsut want time to think myself. I want to be with you, I really do, but, I just...I just think that I should focus on trying to get my bones strong again. We can still be friends, okay?" I could tell that she really didn't want to do this. She liked me alot.
"Okay. Definatley friends." I gave her a big hug. Getting this Osteo whatever it's called bone disease, has really put her down. I gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"I'll see you later, Perc. Bye" Saige smiled lightly and waved as she walked away. Now, I don't have a girlfriend. Percy Jackson is single. Wow. Once the girls at this school find out, I'll be chased by every single girl.
"Yo! Percy! How ya doin'?" said Chris as he came closer.
"Me and Saige just broke up. Apparently, she has some kind of bone disease and she just wants to focus on getting strong again." I said sadly.
"Bummer, man. Well, as they say, theres plenty of fish in the sea." Chris grinned. I just rolled my eyes and headed off to class. I'm not sure I really want to just go get a girl. I want to find a girl that is right for me. A girl that I can trust enough to tell her my secret.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" sounded the bell. I got up out of my seat and headed towards the door. I thought Pandora was right behind me, so i turned around and assumed to see Pandora. Insteadd, I saw a handsome blonde haired boy. We ran straight into each other.
"Hey! Who was that?" asked the boy. He sounded mad.
"It was me. I'm sorry. I thought that you were Pandora." I said.
"Oh Hey. Your Annabeth, right? I'm Luke." Luke smiled.
"Yes. I'm Annabeth."
"Heres my number. Call me." Luke smiled as he got up. I took the piece of paper out of his hand.
Luke Castellan. It read. Under his name was his number. I put the piece of paper in my pocket and got up. Maybe, just maybe, I now have three friends. And still, one enemy.
