Hi! I see I got some views and I really hope to continue the story! are you excited for the trials of Apollo?

Also I'm sorry for the very short first chapter.. it was kind of an intro. :/

Ok… here's the new chapter!

(I DO NOT OWN PJO OR HOO! )

How I won the game of love, chapter 2

Percy's P.O.V

Her smile was beautiful, it seemed to cure my wounds and wrap me in comfort.

Or so I thought.

I really couldn't believe Annabeth would date someone like Luke.

But when she spotted me after she kissed Luke, I could've sworn there was regret in her eyes.

I stared at the boring blue locker, seething.

Why did I have to be so scrawny? I mean sure, I was on the swimming team, but I just started… but I guess I did well..

I glanced at my books, my 10th grade notebooks and a single piece of paper stuck out of one of them.

I grabbed it and unfolded it.

In disgustingly neat handwriting, it was written- 'You escaped today… unless you have proof, I'm still going to beat the truth out of you. -Luke'

I swallowed. I hated getting beat up by Luke, but I had no evidence of my innocence… and plus he was the topper of our school, and with blonde hair and 'dreamy' blue eyes, all girls fell for him.

But he had Annabeth wrapped around his little finger.

For once, I had seen the true Annabeth, hidden in the makeup, the high heels and short dresses.

The kind, sensible and smart one.

But I was starting to lose faith in that hidden person.

I sighed, pulled out my Bio books and headed to my class.

I slunk into the last seat, ignoring Annabeth and Luke making right next to me.

Our class was large, with bright walls and cupboards placed against the walls. The teacher's desk was in the front, a large brown piece of furniture from which all of the boring and skull scraping assignments and homework came out from.

Rachel, a good friend of mine sat on the desk next to mine.

Her hair was long and frizzy, with twinkling eyes a shade darker than mine. Freckles covered the bridge of her nose.

She was my best and only friend. I appreciated her because she never got jealous and she was very cool minded.

Her boyfriend was cool too, but mainly because he knew that I could never capture any girl's heart.

I guess he was right.

"Hey Perce, oh wow.. what happened to you?" she asked, eyeing my bandages.

"Nothing" I muttered.

She knew it was best not to force the truth out of me, so she didn't say anything after that.

I leaned back and rolled my sore head, sighing.

I just remembered that today was a Biology test… shit.

I didn't do anything… but considering Rachel, a book smart person… I guess I wouldn't do too bad.

Mrs. Garcia, a willowy brunette teacher stepped into the room.

"Silence!" she yelled.

The students quieted down, knowing that if Mrs. Garcia got angry, all hell would break loose.

She passed out the test sheets, not saying a word.

I took a last glance at Annabeth and Luke, who were cheating off of each other, then turned to look down at my own sheet.

2 hours later, me and Rachel were sitting together at the cafeteria, a large room the size of my apartment.

We were sitting together because her boyfriend, Octavian was absent today.

Otherwise I would have been sitting alone.

"Is Luke beating you again?"

I cursed, Rachel knew me so well.

She raised an eyebrow.

"I'll take that as a yes.

"Come on Rach…"

She grumbled and fiddled with her sandwich

"You shouldn't let him beat you.. I mean you didn't steal his car."

It was my turn to be surprised. "Have you been stalking me?"
She rolled her eyes.

"If I didn't, what kind of friend would I have been?"
That was a good point.

I put my apple down and muttered,

"Yeah… alright, but please don't do that again… now if you excuse me, I have swimming practice.. unfortunately for me, Luke is my team captain."
Rachel winced

"Um yikes… Oh also why do you have swimming practice right after lunch?"
"There's a meet tomorrow" I said
"Oh" Rachel whispered.

She tried an encouraging smile "Good luck.. just remember that.."
"That what?" I said, I bit too aggressive for my taste.

She paled "Nothing"

Rachel can be really weird sometimes.

I headed to the swimming pool, a bit uneasy of what was going to happen.

At that moment, I saw Annabeth sneak a guilty glance at me.

And I hated her for that.

Alright… I tried to make it a bit long… but don't worry if this is short.. I'll slowly increase the length of each chapter.

Please leave some reviews!
