{Annabeth}

Yes, I believed Percy as far as 'I haven't  seen her all day' but the stupidity of 'she just needed a seat' makes me wonder what's going on in his head. I finished eating my food and talked to Piper... Yeah, I realize I should be talking to Percy but I'm sort've ticked... Well, I guess I shouldn't be mad at him, after all it's not his fault every girl in the school loves him. Maybe it's my fault, for not proving that he's mine, and we aren't breaking up anytime soon.

"You think they'll make Percy captain of the swim team?" Piper asked.

"Probably, all he got last year was first in all..." I say. "They'll probably make Jason captain of the basketball team. He scored 20 points every game, 8 of them being slam dunks."

"Jason's going to play baseball this year, too." Said Piper.

"That's completely unfair!" I smirk.

"Yeah, just like you on the gymnastics team." Piper said.

I scoffed. "Gymnastics?!"

"Yep! I'm going to sign you up!" Piper said.

"No!" I said. "Want the definition of Goode Highschool's gymnastics team? Carey was on it, the new girl Veronica is doing it, last year the girl obsessed with Jason, Mia, she's doing it. Goode Highs gymnastics definition is: It's a bunch of sluts in skimpy uniforms showing off dramatic sexy dancing!"

"Gosh, Annabeth," Piper sighed. "I'm going to do it this year too!"

"I'm not doing gymnastics..." I object.

Piper shrugged. "Fine then." And went back to her food. But in a few seconds she turned back. "We can do cheerleading then."

"The same people do that- Veronica, Carey, Mia, and plenty more sluts!" I said. "It's just a Goode high thing..."

"Back to gymnastics?" Asked Piper.

"NO!" I almost yelled. Percy turned around from his talk with Leo.

"You okay?" Percy asked.

"She wants me to do gymnastics and cheerleading." I said.

Percy smirked. I slapped his shoulder and he put his hands up. Then he said, "I could see you as a cheerleader Annabeth." I started hitting him again.

"Calm down," Piper said, restraining me.

Octavian looked up from his phone. "Every girl here is after Percy or Jason- or, not anymore. A few like moi!"

"That Asian exchange guy?" Percy shrugged. "I think he's gay."

Octavian's nostrils flared. A girl walked behind Percy and Octavian took out a teddy bear and a plastic fork that came with his food. He started stabbing the poor teddy bear. Then he started cackling with laughter. "Percy, it's destined you'll end up with that girl! Her name is 'Lydia' by the way!"

I felt like murdering Octavian. Maybe I should start a support account on Demibook... And I could use #savetheteddys and have RIP pictures of all the poor stuffed animals. I took out my phone and took a picture of the poor teddy bear and Octavian with the plastic fork. Octavian shot me a 'wtf?' look before turning back to Percy.

Percy looked completely confused. "Lydia doesn't like me! She's just a new kid!"

I turned to Percy with a, 'hold on now, what?' look. He glanced at me, and then turned his attention back to Octavian.

Octavian raised his eyebrow. "Are you the stupidest living thing on this earth? Perseus Jackson, Jupiter help you. Jupiter help you." He made a tsk tsk tsk sound and started picking up stuffing and walking towards the trash can.

Percy looked at me, and then his eyes drifted away, and then back at me. I looked away and took a deep breath. "Percy, please don't-"

"I know," he said. "I swear on the River Styx."

For once I took the oath lightly. I looked up to see Octavian back at the table with a, 'see if I'm wrong' look. Wow, lots of looks have been exchanged at this table. I tried to distract myself but I couldn't. I finished eating my food and kept myself in denial. The same thing happened last year, and me and Percy ended up ok, right? I took a deep breath, unable to face the truth that kept nagging at me- nagging like when you're on an airplane and the person beside you keeps glancing at you and you wonder why. But this nagging was more important than a meaningless, weird mortal on an airplane. This nagging was serious. Completely 100% serious. I wouldn't face the truth, but the truth was:

Goode High was destroying us.

I gave you enough scrolling room so you wouldn't see it until you read the extra long speech. All I have to say is: proofread!
