Promises

Annabeth

Chapter 1

Freshmen year is said to be the best time for everyone. You are officially in high school, you are for the most part grown into your body, and the friends you have, are the friends you'll have for life.

Not me.

I was still the smallest girl in the grade. No meat on my bones. No boobs. No butt. I wore glasses and my hair was unmanageable.

I did have one friend though.

Thalia Grace. My best friend. We've been through it all together. She is gorgeous and so confident in herself. Most people were scared to get on her bad side. She was the one to defend me when someone said anything rude to me. I can't imagine a better friend.

I guess you would consider Percy my friend. Percy Jackson. The hottest guy in our grade. He had jet black hair and sea green eyes you can get lost in. we were best friends in elementary and middle school. We started to drift apart towards the end of last year. We didn't hang out anymore, but he didn't ignore me when he saw me in the halls. He would hold a conversation with me if he needed to.

There was one problem with all this though. I was in love with him.

I guess I had been ever since we were dared to kiss in the seventh grade. It was no big deal until his lips touched mine. I felt fireworks. Ever since then I knew I was in love.

Everyone at school loved to pick on me. I don't know if it was because I looked nerdy or because I was a nerd. I was pushed into the lockers almost every day. I was laughed at almost every day. I tried my best to tolerate it. And I did. Until I had reached my breaking point.

I walked into school, just like I did every Friday morning. I went to my locker to put my stuff away. I pulled on my ponytail and redid it. I tugged on my purple sweater and jeans. I closed my locker and slid down to the floor. It was still early and no one was really at school yet. I looked at my watch. 7:05. No one really got to school until 7:10. I relaxed and leaned my head back against my locker, wishing everything would change and go my way for once.

I shot up when I heard the familiar clicking of high heels and smell of nauseating perfume. I rolled my eyes at the sound of giggling and whispers. I knew they were laughing and talking about me. Once they passed me I breathed a sigh of relief.

Next I saw Percy walk in. He walked by and shot me a smile which I returned. Once he passed, I leaned back against my locker again.

Next thing I know I am being pulled up into a hug. I knew it was Thalia, because she was the only person who talked to me at Goode High School. She released me and I shot her a look which she recognized as a warning to let me go, which she obeyed.

I turned around to face the hallway and was greeted with an iced coffee thrown at my face. My jaw dropped as I took off my glasses to see who had thrown it. Standing in front of me was a very smug Rachel Elizabeth Dare.

I was frozen in place while everyone stood laughing at me. I looked around and saw the worst thing I thought I could ever see. Percy. He was laughing. At me. He caught my eye and his smile dropped. I turned and ran out the school, hearing the laughter fading and hearing Thalia screaming at Rachel.

I ran to a bench as far away from the school as I could get before falling down and breaking into a fit of sobs. Percy was laughing at me. He's never done that. Or at least I thought he hadn't. maybe he was only nice to me because he felt bad for me. Gods I'm so stupid to think someone like him would be friends with me.

My thoughts were interrupted by a hand on my shoulder. I jumped and turned to see who it was. Percy. As soon as I saw him I turned around and started walking away. He followed e and stepped in front of me forcing me to stop.

"Move," was all I said. And when he didn't I stepped around him only to be blocked again. "Percy, get out of my way."

"Annabeth, wait," he said putting his hand on my shoulders. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to laugh. I really didn't think it was fun-"

"Percy, please stop. I don't even care. You go back to your popular friends and I'll continue being a nobody like you and I both know I am. You don't have to pretend anymore." I said calmly, and on the verge of tears. I walked away quickly before he could see the tear that was forming fall and land on my hand.

I found a tree and sat underneath it. Letting the tears fall. After a minute I forced myself to stop them. I would no longer be laughed at. I would never step foot in that school again. I would become an entirely new person.

And that's what I did.

Okay well I hope you liked it! please review to tell me if I should continue or not!
