Hi! I see I got some reviews.. thanks a lot!

And I will try to write more paragraphs.. :/

Alright.. here's chapter 4!

Chapter 4

Percy's P.O.V.

The last beautiful thing I saw was her face… filled with worry and guilt…and as fate peeled my vision off of her, I actually thought that she wasn't that bad…

Great…

I was lying in the nurse's office, holding an ice bag on my bruises while sitting on the edge of the bed. Dammit… that Luke told the nurse that the slipped and fell… thrice. The nurse looked baffled when she examined my injuries… probably thinking how I could be that stupid. I wasn't stupid… Luke was. He had beaten me… no, not just for the race but also for his car… "Curse you Luke." I muttered softy, enough so that the nurse couldn't hear. Apparently the 30 year old nurse had sharp ears. "What did you say dear?" Her eyes were a painfully bright blue, with braided brown hair falling just beyond her shoulders. I cleared my throat "Um… nothing ma'am" She frowned, her eyes having a strange greedy gleam directed towards me. "Alright, then"

I walked slowly towards my locker, wincing at every step. "Percy?" a distant voice croaked

Annabeth…

"What do you want?" I growled. She was about 10 feet away from me, a concerned look pasted on her face. She looked so perfect, her figure was neither too wide nor thin, her blonde hair, which looked natural, was in a bun, but I wished they were down in those perfect curls of hers. Her facial features were soft, delicate, small nose arched eyebrows, high cheekbones and full lips. The only thing scary about her was those eyes. They reminded me of a cloudy day after a drought, people laughing for the rain. But they could be scary too, like a stormy hurricane that rips away houses, claims lives and causes humanity to fall on their knees.

But her anger, her determination had faded over the years in high school. I could barely admit to myself that I had watched her during the freshman year, those gray eyes darting here and there, her messy ponytail, the curls that refused to stay in the rubber band swishing mesmerizingly, and the way she moved, sturdy, full of strength. I remember that she always carried a book around her, reading. But as I looked at her now, I realized she had not been saved from the horrors of girls. Her stupid friends changed her, encouraged her to wear makeup, tighter dresses and high heels.

They had changed her in the worst way possible

"Look, if you don't want to get beaten up by Luke, you have to get evidence! I mean I can't do anything." She cried, clearly frustrated. I gave her one of my best glares that scared anyone off, which involved me looking from under my eyebrows and frowning. Sure enough, she backed off, her heels making a tapping noise on the floor. Anger bubbled from me, I wanted to snatch up those heels and smack her with them. "You let him beat me! I mean I thought you had changed when you let me ride in your car… but I guess I was wrong!" I yelled. Her fear was replaced by anger. "I saved your damned life! Aren't you at least grateful enough for that?" I felt blood rush to my cheeks, one thing hadn't changed. She always won a fight. The anger subsided to guilt and I stepped closer to her, ignoring the blush that was creeping up my cheeks.

"I… I'm really sorry…" Her stormy gray eyes cooled down to the color of liquid mercury. "Stay away from me, Jackson… and learn how to take care of yourself… I'm not your friend… I won't always come to take care of you… what happened in the morning was fate… unlucky fate." Her tone stung me, sending needles to my heart. I stared at my shoes as she left, leaving me to grasp the last bit of her melodious voice.

I'm not your friend…

That's right… we weren't…

Mrs. Dodds was giving a lecture about the field trip (which I thought we were too old for) to the planetarium, where we had to write a boring essay about any astronomy theory we liked. Soon enough, the last bell rung, and I sped off, grabbed my back pack, skateboard and coat and bounded out of school before Mrs. Dodds could say, "You are dismissed" I was slipping away from school when I heard Rachel yell behind me, "Wait for me, you ass!" I skidded to a stopped and turned to see Rachel running behind me. As soon as she caught up to me, I started again on my skateboard, but more slowly so Rachel could catch.

"Um.. you know that some girl saw you and Annabeth yelling at each other and this rumor is spreading that well…"

"Well what?" I said, immediately blushing at the thought that someone saw me and Annabeth together… alone. "That she wanted to date you and cheat Luke but you said no and you both started arguing." I suddenly stopped. "Who...who said that?" "Drew." Rachel said softly, not meeting my eyes. "That... b-… how could she have thought that me and Annabeth could even possibly date? Rachel shrugged"She mentioned that you were… hot?" I laughed, not feeling particularly funny. "Right… next time, she could even call me smart." I then frowned at her. "How do you know all of this?" "Rumors spread fast." She whispered "Also why did she have to say that Annabeth.. liked me?" "Well, when Annabeth and Drew became friends, they both liked Luke… a lot. They even had cat fights. But eventually, Annabeth won Luke's heart, leaving Drew jealous. So she's single and ever since she saw you clearly, it was love at first sight for her, and to make Luke jealous… she spread this rumor, hoping that she gets revenge." She glanced at me, amused. "Yeah… its really dramatic." "Oh yeah.." I muttered. She gave me a warm smile, and for once today I felt truly happy.

But that's when I thought,

Luke thinks I'm stealing his girl..

Oh… no…

Alright.. that's where I'm ending it.
