AN: Warning my friends, I made and finished the plot in my head and I must say I might get a mob of people after me for this. :) I'm sorry if this is short but it is is like the epilogue of some sorts. Hi Andie, you creeper.

Disclaimer: I am not an old human being. Truly.

1. The Start

Annabeth POV:

My name is Annabeth. Annabeth Chase.

It was the first day of my junior year. My best friend is Thalia Grace. My boyfriend is Luke Castellan. I am the eldest in my family and I have two younger brothers.

My life was fine, maybe predictable at times and sometimes, it seemed as though it was though I lived in a time loop. There was nothing that changed my life tremendously. Maybe I liked it that way. And maybe I didn't. But I was finally about to find out. And it started when I met him.

I made my way through the crowd, heading towards my locker. 213. When I got there, I placed my bag inside and leaned against it, watching as the hallways emptied, as everyone made their ways to their classes.

A few minutes before class started, a black-clad figure bumped into me. He had black hair and sparkling green eyes which contrasted with his pale skin.

"I'm sorry." he wrote on a black notebook I just realized he was holding. He seemed to be in a hurry.

I smiled brightly at him.

"It's okay! Hi, my name is Annabeth. What's yours?" I said.

He stared at me numbly for a second before replying, "Percy. Percy Jackson." he wrote.

I stuck out my hand but he only stared at it, his face void of any emotion.

"Why? Whats wrong?"

He froze before turning away as though he wanted to run away but I stopped him, grabbing his arm which forced the sleeve of his hoodie to ride up.

I stepped back shocked as I saw what was on his arm. Black marks on his pale skin stood out from his skin. After a while, I realized the marks formed a word. Worthless.

I blinked. It looked like someone carved the word using a knife then rubbed ink in it.

A paper was shoved by Percy in front of my face. "That's exactly what they did."

I looked up and realized I thought aloud. I stared at his beautiful, green eyes. Only then, I realized how much pain and loss was right underneath the surface, but no one cared enough to notice.

"Take off your hoodie." I demanded. He took a step back, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. "I just want to help you Percy." I said my voice kinder and softer now.

His guarded expression disappeared and he stepped forward cautiously, removing his hoodie.

I looked closer at his arm and realized that there were tons of words:

Piece of Crap.

Worthless.

Stupid.

Fag.

Dumb.

Nothing.

Just kill yourself.

A WASTE OF SPACE.

A MISTAKE.

I blinked. Wow. His eyes were downcast as I inspected his arms. I couldn't help but think that he didn't deserve all this. Anyone with a heart would. He seemed so innocent and kind.

"They're permanent. Like tattoos." he wrote, his hands shaking. His hand movements as he wrote were graceful , even though he looked terrible.

I pulled him closer to me and pulled him into an embrace. Both our eyes were watering at the edges. I could feel his thin figure shake as he sobbed into my shoulder. I looked at him. He was taller than me. Handsome, without a doubt and his hair perfectly messy.

He pulled away and wiped away his tears. "I'm sorry I caused you trouble. You should go to class or you'll be late. I have to go." he wrote. His hand hovered over the page as though he wanted to write something else, but he just gave me one last nod and ran away.

And as he passed by me in a blur, I knew something. And that was that whoever this guy was. I would protect him. No matter what it takes.

A bunch of jocks passed by me, racing towards Percy. My eyes widened as they dragged him down the hall. What would they do to him? And now I was worried. For someone I just met which was new for me.

This Percy Jackson had something in him... that did something to me. That made me feel something for him. And I'm still trying to find out what.

-HAI!-

I sat on my usual seat in the cafeteria and turned to my best friend, Thalia as she was flinging her food towards the hipster table. I grabbed her hand and forced it down on the table.

"Be nice, Thals." I sighed and apologized to the egg-covered hippies.

She shrugged and leaned back. "I'm bored."

I bit my sandwich. "Thals, do you know any Percy Jackson in school?"

She frowned and gave me a look. "...Yes. Why?"

I sipped my orange juice. "I met him awhile ago."

Her eyebrows went up into her hair. "Well, if that's the case. Just to let you know, he doesn't talk much. Writes in a notebook,bullied since he was a kid and the loner of the school, pretty much. But, you know he's cute." She gave me another look. "Why do you ask?"

"Don't know him at all. Why don't I know him?"

She shrugged nonchalantly. "Stays in the shadows and tries to not stand out most of the time. Even wears black."

I nodded and the rest of the lunch passed quietly, well as quiet as it could be in a cafeteria full of hungry and bored teenagers.

Luke came to me at the end of lunch. He smiled at me. He really was a nice person, he never hit me or got mad at me. He's a perfect boyfriend.

"Hey! How was your day?"

I smiled and replied and had small talk with him until the bell rang and I had to go to class.

But the whole time, my thoughts were with a certain green-eyed beauty.

AN: Sigh. Another story. To ruin my life. Well... Did you like? Review!? The next one will be longer. I Promise. Hope you liked it! I did. :)
