PERCY POV:
"Hey guys!" Thalia and Annabeth waved over at the table while walking here
"Hey!" I answered. Yesterday's performance was amazing. It was lovely. Except for when Nico attacked after the directer said 'ITS A WRAP' that was horrifying but me and Thalia didn't even try to help we just left to get doughnuts, and may i add, were delicious. Annabeth took a seat next to me and Thalia across from me.
"Nice performance yesterday! Thanks for the shout outs!" Jason added Which were then followed by many 'yeah' 'thanks' and 'well done.' Today was a big day, auditioning for the swim team. Which I love by the way, I always use to like beaches and what-nots.
"Welcome, hey, do you think I would get in the swim team?" Thalia looked at me shocked.
"I think-" But Annabeth got interrupted by another female voice.
"I think you would do great my little Percy-wercy-bear!" My eyes widen in shock, fear and Thalia smirked at her.
"Welcome back Calypso. Need Thalia to show you the way out?" The Stolls asked. Thalia was pretending to check out her nails and looked up with an evil grin.
"Ugh whatever. Anyways, I'm glad you told the world that Annabeth was the slut." She smiled godly which made Annabeth get out her seat.
"What?"
"Oh great, you have hearing problems?! Still young… I guess that goes with your fashion sense" Calypso commented to Annabeth. I was literally stuck in the middle and was hugely terrified.
Thalia stood up but Annabeth said "Thalia, you had you're fun. It's been a while since I brought back to the hospital." Thalia nodded and slipped a piece of paper in the middle of the table while Annabeth was still glaring at Calypso stood up and she looked like she was going to break. The paper said:
May 14 2010 - The day I met her, She put someone (Rachel Dare) in the hospital for a broken arm for 2 weeks. Found respect for her, became her friend. Went on tour, still was in contact with her. Now I want her to make sure Calypso says there for a month. Just because she took it too far and insulted her family.
Everyone looked at Thalia in disbelief. Wow. She is strong.
"Ugh where did you get those looks from? Oh yeah, you're stupid family members" I gulped big time. She took a step around me and a step closer to Calypso. Annabeth kept quite this whole entire time. Calypso was stupid enough to keep talking
"What are you now? A mute who has a face that looks like a dumb clown from her family and who is death she makes death people feel bad for her" Wait. That made no sense, Oh I get it, Thats why Calypso is failing english! I mentally high-fives myself for my smarts. "Oh and I forgot, the school slut that has no respect whatsoever. You are such a wannabe the 'spice girls' songs can't even cover you."
That did it for Annabeth "Oh and-" Annabeth side kicked her foot punched her nose and Calypso fell but managed to catch herself between two tables. It looked like she was going to get up but Annabeth kicked her with her sneakers on the stomach and she groaned and fell down. Annabeth wasn't done yet, no she was far from done, she bent down and twisted her arm so now Calypso's body was facing the floor and Annabeth pushed her foot to her back while she grabbed her other hand and twisted it even more. "Y-you can't g-get a-away with this C-Chase! M-my dads a c-cop"
Annabeth smirked and let go of her, "My mum is a millionaire architect and my dad is a high end Lawyer who graduated when he was 14. Try me Atlas." With that Annabeth sat back down and started eating nonchalantly.
WHAT.
JUST.
HAPPENED?

ARE THERE EVEN TEACHERS IN THIS SCHOOL?!
Everyone didn't dare to say a word to her as she ate. No one spoke at all. We were all just staring at her. Her ponytail was still flawless, and she couldn't be more hot. I-I mean in a friendly way..You know.
-RING-
I said bye to everyone and ran with Jason to the changing rooms to go to swimming try outs. I changed, when I walked out I could see people drooling especially because I had no shirt on. Jason then followed me out and I could see my friends on the bleachers cheering for us.
ANNABETH POV:
Me and the group decided to cheer Percy and Jason on as they tried out for swimming. Honestly, Jason was pretty fast but i'm not so sure about Jackson. Apparently he loves the water so probably? Im not sure. But once Percy came out I could see all the girls gawking at his existence. Without his shirt he only had on a impressive 6-pack that was in the middle of toned and middle. It was perfect. He wore his black swimming trunks and waved over at us. Jason then came running after with his 4-pack and a pink trunk. I'm guessing he packed the wrong thing. Percy was like shinning and Thalia looked disgusted by how girls were drooling over him
"Eww girls are drooling over my cousin!" Thalia said trying to look away. I wiped off some silva of my cheek as I, also drooled, just a tiny bit. I laughed at Thalia's comment and watched as they lined up for a race. Thalia was smirking all the way.
"Thalia? Why do you have an evil glint in you eyes?" I asked her
"You'll see.. Percy is one with the water." She said smiling even more loudly. What was that meant to mean? But as soon as the whistle blew all the boys jumped into the water. Percy was in second place but as soon as he hit the last lap he pushed off the wall and he became first easily, beating everyone by 5.3 seconds in freestyle. I was impressed
"Is that what you were talking about, Thals?" She just nodded happily seeing her cousin win. The coach them shouted at one of the boys for who-knows-what-reason. Then they went in again doing their final races but this time it was breaststroke. Percy won, yet again, but he was 2.3 seconds apart from the second place person. We all clapped and cheered for him as the coach asked them to gather around to announce who is in the team. Me and the rest listened very closely to this part.
Coach Hedge stood at the podium and took the mic "testing testin YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME!" Which made everyone laugh because that was the Stolls voice. All of the girls who attended this school was there to see percy shirtless, i bet.
"Okay, Okay, Calm down. Now I would like to announce the team. There is: Percy Jackson," Cheers from all the girls "Jason Grace" Cheeres from some people especially Piper "Luke Callastean" No cheers please. I hate him. My ex. "Frank, Robert and Dan." Everyone clapped at this point. I joined in with cheers "And the team captain is….Nico?" We all looked over at Nico who pulled out his drums sticks from his pockets and started drumming on the table "Percy Jackson!" Everyone started clapping and Coach Hedge looked very happy. "And thats not it, Percy Jackson has broken the record for fastest freestyle in Goode beating Luke Callastean by a long shot!" Thats when the claps became louder and the girls screaming 'you go Percy!' 'Date me Percy!' "Love you Percy!' Me and the girl shivered at the last one.
Luke was taking it surprisingly well. When I use to date him -shivers- he would care more about sports than his friends. Now I see him fist bumping everyone, just because he made it on the team. I spaced out recalling the memories that we had. The perfect moments. Until he broke everything. I couldn't love again.
"Annie? What do you think?" Thalia asked
"Ya…Sure..." Honestly, I don't even know what she was talking about.
"Annabeth you seem… to be spacing out a lot..." Katie said
"Yeah, Just a lot of things on my mind, family and all" Katie nodded and she continued talking
"Okay then, I'm going with Allison have a nice weekend!" Katie waved and walked out with Allison but not long before Allison said she have finished the designs she just have to make them with Piper at her house over the weekend.
"Hey, Annabeth you okay? I'm starting to see what Katie said… You have been a bit distant…" Thalia said patting my back
"Yeah… Where's Piper and Clairese?" I asked her trying to avoid the subject
"They left with Jason and Chris-"
"Hey, guys." Percy said sitting next to me. I just nodded quietly and Thalia gave him a reassuring look, and i bet it was about me.
I just put my head in my hands. All these memories flooding back from Luke. We had been dating for 2 years until I caught him cheating on me with… Calypso. I hated her ever since. He use to be so nice to my family members. My family members. Oh gods. My mum… Haven't seen her or heard from her in a few months, 3 months now?. She gave birth to me when she was young and gave me up because she thought couldn't take care at me at the time. Now all I have left is my older brother Malcom who already left for college. Mum comes and visit once or twice every 5 months, she's nice once you get to know her. She is one of the millionaires that know the 'Golden 3's producers, and she is an architect, so it makes sense. She covers my education and health, sometimes even my step-brothers health because she was wise, and knew she could hold anything against them, they didn't chose their family, she's just nice that way. But its also sad to not see her for a few months. Is just stressing you know? I had to live in a house where my dad follows everything my step-mom says, and she hates me. My step-brothers, Bobby and Mathew, are nice and sweet and are on my side. I live in an apartment alone because my step-mom wanted to get rid of me and my dad agreed, because he would do anything for her, even give up his own child. Bobby and Matt were devastated and my step-mom was beyond happy. I guess you can add my apartment to what my mum pays for. I thought about all this just because I saw Luke again. Its complicated. My life is complicated. I just didn't want to talk. At all. I dug my head even harder in my arms while my legs were pressed to my chest. All i could hear was a pinging sound in my ears like being ear blocked after a long trip on a plane. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Percy.
"Hey." He said quietly. I looked around and no one was there, it was getting dark. I just nodded and looked up for a bit enjoying the view of the pool shinning from the reflection of the moon that was rising. I thought in my head 'Ah, nice to see you Apollo' It's weird because thats the name of my Music teacher too.
"Wanna talk?" He asked still quietly. I just shook my head and he understood completely. I've only met him for a few days, but it seemed like i've known him since forever.
"Okay." He wrapped his arms around my back and waist, but tighter and I just leaned into his chest. I felt like crying and some tears did come out. He started to brush my hair with his free hand and I felt comfortable… for some odd reason. I didn't feel like me. Annabeth Chase was the smart one, the brave one and the proud one. Not the cry baby.
An hour has passed. We didn't move. We didn't talk. There was silence. It was comfortable silence. I never wanted this to end. But sadly, he broke the silence as it was already 7PM, still at school.
"Hey." He whispered. I answered really weakly I was surprised if he even heard me.
"Hey." I had many layers of walls of my feelings. Somehow, he was getting through them. My brother couldn't even break my walls. I was to complicated. My hands were shaking. The last I could remember after I was lost in the blue sky was Percy wrapping his arms around me and whispered to me, completely understanding that I didn't want to talk.
"C'mon your a Wise Girl you have more in you." He whispered and touched my hand. It was literally electric. "Seaweed Brain." I mumbled if he could hear me he had super sonic ears. "Seaweed Brain?" He asked. I just nodded "You..no brain...pool...water...brain is full of seaweed" I smiled. He smiled.
"It's getting late." He whispered in my ear. I just nodded. He stood up and pulled me up too. I think he released he was cold because after I got up he instantly put his varsity jacket on me. Then placed and arm around my shoulders. We walked towards the car and he dropped me off in my room. I was still drowsy from the tears and I couldn't think straight. He let me go once he carried me on the bed. I am super light so I guess he had no trouble because he wasn't panting at all.
"Night, Wise Girl." He was about to go but pulled back his wrist. His eyes showed me worry and concern. I smiled and he smiled back.
He took a seat next to me on the bed and took a deep breath, "Tell me. Everything." His body language was full of trust and he sat crossed leg on my bed while I did the same. My hands wrapped around the sides of my head, not covering completely everything. I took in deep breaths and looked down.
"You know Luke?" I asked quietly shaking my head. My thumbs were rubbing my temples and my palms were at the corner of my eyes while me other 4 fingers rested on my forehead. He nodded and I took a big breath. And explained.
"…thats how my life is messed up…" I finished taking a big sigh. Percy had been understanding and listened to what I said nodding respectfully. I was still in the same position but now my eyes are open. It felt nice to get that off my chest.
Percy shifted to be closer to me and whispered "Hey…" He used his fingers that were placed under my chin and he made me look at him. I refused. "It will be fine." This time I locked my eyes with him. Sea green to storming grey. "You're life is not messed up. You've got us. Friends." I smiled at him and he pulled me towards the keyboard. "Sing me a song." It sounded like a demand but his voice was soft.
"A song?" I asked quietly sitting on the chair.
"I always sing out my problems. Sing. I promise you, after this, after pouring your heart into the song that you feel connected to right now, everything will seem fine." That was the most logical thing and sweetest thing he has said to me this whole day.

I took a deep breath and looked at him. He just smiled and nodded. I started playing the melody and took a deep breath. I knew exactly what song. It started of slow.
You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
So come on, come on
Come on, come on
I looked up at him and he nodded getting the message that I needed some help boosting my confidence.
You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, come on
He stopped and I couldn't look at him. I was on the verge of tears. So I sang to get my head out of it. My voice was still soft but a tiny bit louder than last time.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Percy scooted next to me and started to play the melody with me. Never knew he could play piano. Well, learn something new everyday.
At night we're waking up the neighbours
While we sing away the blues
Making sure that we're remembered, yeah
Cause we all matter too
If the truth has been forbidden
Then we're breaking all the rules
So come on, come on
Come on, come on,
I started to gain more confidence as I left the grand piano and walked to the side. Percy scooted in the middle as he started playing two hands now.
Let's get the TV and the radio
To play our tune again
It's 'bout time we got some airplay of our version of events
There's no need to be afraid
I will sing with you my friend
Come on, come on
This is when I could really feel the connection to the song. I started singing my heart out forgetting the world even exists. Percy was still playing and my hands formed into fists that grew tighter every time I screamed my lungs out still keeping perfect tune. I started to arch my back as I got more into the song.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
I felt like I was gonna break so Percy saved me from crying by singing knowing I was tired.
Yeah, we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
Now we're finally finding our voices
So take a chance, come help me sing this
I joined in here feeling a bit better while Percy's hands were going all over the keyboard.
Yeah, we're all wonderful, wonderful people
So when did we all get so fearful?
And now we're finally finding our voices
Just take a chance, come help me sing this
The piano calmed down a bit after percy was moving his hands all over the place and pressing the pedals
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
The piano calmed down a bit more. He stopped singing for me to pour my heart into the last lines. I sang softly remembering all the memories I had when I was a child. Happy moments. I sat down next to percy leaning my head on his shoulder.
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream 'til the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers,
I'm not afraid
They can read all about it
Read all about it, oh
Percy finished with the piano and turned towards me. We leaned forwards and I felt his fluffy pink lips on mine. It wasn't rough like Luke's. No, it was way different. Luke would try to be a pervert holding me everywhere and force kissing me. He went slow and we moved in sync. Still sitting on the piano chair I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his arms at my waist. It was perfect. Once we let go our foreheads were touching.
"Feel better?" He whispered wiping the stray tears from earlier.
"Much." I whispered back and kissed him again. This time I was playing with his hair which made me smile onto his lips. He carried me and I wrapped my legs around his torso. He dropped me on the bed and we fell asleep in each others arms. His arm as my pillow and my arm hugging his chest. We both smiled. It was a perfect moment.
LUKE POV:
Uugh! That stupid Jackson! He thinks just because he is a rockstar who has many awards he can take over my spot in swimming? I slammed my hand in the pillow. I can't take it anymore! He has my girl, Annabeth! Sure, I cheated on her. But only I can have happiness! He will regret everything. The only way to get through him...is his loved ones... I smiled at my Idea. I'll just date one of his 'friends' and dump her sorry heart or even better... Cheat. I smile at myself again and threw myself on the bed. Ah, tomorrow is going to be an eventful day.
