Wow! Look at me, updating everyday!

Well, I was just looking through my previous chapters and I realized I need more detail… so here is the third chapter!

Chapter 3

Annabeth's P.O.V

His expression was so full of hatred; I could have sworn that if hate was a drop of water, I would be drowning in it.

Oh god.. Percy was really getting into my mind.

First I saved his life and now he acts as if I'm some creature from the Underworld.

I absolutely felt sick when I was around him.

But as I walked towards the swimming pool with my friends, I had a flashback of him, wrapped up in bandages and giving me that lop-sided grin.

Which was totally not adorable.

I shook my head and focused on getting to the pool.

Drew was at the head, and I was on her immediate right, with Silena on her left.

"So… did you hear about how Reyna is in love with Jason?" Drew piped.

I nodded absently

"Oooh.. Reyna is never going to get him… I mean she's so serious and not funny at all! I mean.. Piper would suit him…" Silena murmured.

I snorted "Jason is boring… Piper is so not good for him… but as they say… opposites attract."

Drew laughed

"It's not the same concept in love hon… but again I'm getting really desperate…"
Drew was single but me and Silena were taken.

I sighed as we entered the pool.

My dim mood was immediately lightened up when I saw Luke.

He was shirtless, and I giggled at him.

"Hi, babe!" I squealed, pecking him on his cheek.

Silena ran and hugged Beckendorf, her boyfriend.

Drew huffed and stormed over to the bleachers, obviously jealous.

Well, I couldn't blame her, me and Silena had pretty amazing boyfriends.

And what did she have? Oh that's right, nothing.

I carefully walked up the bleachers with Silena, trying not to scratch my heels.

We both sat down together, laughing at Drew's angry face.

But my smile wiped off as soon as I saw Percy walk into the swimming pool room.

He was glaring at Luke, but fear was clearly seen in his eyes.

Oh… he wasn't lying…

My heart was racing as he walked towards Luke, fists clenched.

"Great Percy, just on time… we're planning to race each other."

Luke's eyes had a strange gleam, threatening, cold and very dangerous.

Percy headed for the locker room, seething.

I fiddled with my bun and waited for the boys to start.

About 5 minutes later, Percy emerged from the locker, wearing no shirt or bandages, exposing his purple and red bruises.

Luke's face turned red with fury.

"Alright." He said, gritting his teeth. "Let's start."

The boys raced by two people at once, with the remaining teenagers cheering… but only Percy remained silent.

After about 15 minutes, the only people remaining were Percy and Luke.

I stared intently.

"3…2…1… GO!" the boys chanted.

Luke and Percy took off.

They were neck to neck, sometimes Luke was ahead, sometimes Percy.

Near the end of the race, Percy gave one more burst of energy and…

He won.

Luke lost.

Luke never lost… I could imagine his anger as they hopped out of the pool.

Forcefully smiling, Luke shook his hand awkwardly and whispered something in his ear.

Percy's eyes widened.

They both headed towards the locker room.

By this point I was losing my mind, was Luke different than what he seemed?

Me, Silena and Drew gracefully stepped down from the bleachers.

As soon as I set one foot on the ground, I heard a scream that was definitely not Luke.

Luke rushed put, yelling for help.

All boys ran in, me and my friends followed closely behind.

I peeked in, blood rushing to my face and my hands feeling clammy.

There was Percy, lying on the floor, blood rushing out of his lip.

Seeing blood made me sick, so I rushed out, ignoring my senses.

Tears blurred my vision, and the voices of my friends got quieter and quieter.

My brain was screeching to help Percy… but why should I? I wasn't anyone's servant.

So instead I ran. My eyes now dry and my heart filled with fury.

I will never speak to him… never..ever again.

But I felt like I was being pulled by two forces, my old self and my new one.

I was stuck in the middle, disagreeing and agreeing to everyone and no one.

Trapped.

And this is all Percy's fault…

Ok, so I hope you liked this chapter. I think it ended the way I wanted, Annabeth confused and furious. I can't wait to write more!
