Layla Bentress

I was walking out of Goode High, ready to catch the bus when a car pulled up beside me. Three of my friends sat in the backseat and Percy was driving. Aahhhh Percy. Just hearing his name was perfect. He was incredible.

He had this windswept jet black hair and these absolutely gorgeous green eyes that shine like the ocean. He was muscular and tall and was the captain of the swim team. He was practically part fish! He was, without a doubt, the hottest guy in school. (A/N: Oh my gods, I'm so glad I reviewed this! I had written hottest GIRL in school! Lol)

And I was one of his friends. It was me, Percy, Daniel, Jack, and Wynter. We all hung out at school and at home.

"C'mon Lay, hop in!" He told me, opening the door. I stepped in the car and texted my mom to tell her I was going to Percy's.

Percy had this sweatshirt. It was a normal Goode High swim team sweatshirt, but he always wore it. It smelled like him, and he smelled like the beach. All of the good things at the beach though. He never let anyone, and I mean ANYONE wear it.

"Brrrrr, is it cold to anyone else?" I said, rubbing my bare arms.

"No. I'd offer you a sweatshirt, but I don't have any. Even my swim team one is at home, but NOBODY wears my lucky sweatshirt, sorry," Percy told me. I nodded slowly. Damn, it didn't work!

We got to his apartment and went up to his floor. Percy unlocked the door and Daniel, Jack, Wynter, and I stepped inside. He closed the door behind us.

"I'm hoooooome!" Percy yelled. I didn't think there was anyone home though.

"Percy, there isn't anyone here," Wynter said after a minute of silence.

"Yeah there is," he retorted. Everyone stepped forward.

"Uh, I'm pretty sure there's not," Daniel said. Percy stuck out his tongue and walked into the kitchen. He read something written on a piece of paper on the counter and groaned.

"Yeah, my mom's not home until 6ish, and you guys can stay as long as you want. But first, I want you to meet someone," Percy told us. I frowned and tilted my head to the side.

"Who?" Jack questioned, also confused.

"Annabeth! C'mon, I want you to meet my friends!" Percy called down the hallway.

"Okay, one minute," was the muffled reply. Who was Annabeth? He didn't have a sister, I didn't think so. A visiting cousin? Friend? I honestly didn't know. Oh well, as long as she didn't get in the way of Percy and me being together, I didn't care.

I heard footsteps and turned to see a girl, about our age, step out of what I thought to be Percy's room. She was wearing black patterned leggings and a gray sweatshirt with blue words that was clearly too big for her.

"Hi guys! I'm Annabeth, and you are?" She told us in a sweet voice. Wait, was that Percy's sweatshirt? Percy's was gray also, with blue words on it. I looked at it more closely to see that it read 'Eat. Sleep. Swim.' And I was absolutely positive that it said Jackson on the back.

Why would Percy not let me wear it? He let her, whoever she was. I definitely had no competition. I was quite pretty, with shoulder length strawberry blonde hair and soft brown eyes. I had pale skin and freckles. What did SHE look like anyway?

Then I looked at her for real. She was actually really pretty. Annabeth had this perfect tan that could only be natural. Her loose blonde curls were down, partially braided, but clearly had been given up on. She looked like a typical California girl.

Her eyes should have been a nice blue or green. But they most definitely weren't. They were gray like storm clouds. I guess they were pretty, but her eyes were also intimidating. Jack interrupted my train of thought by telling her, "I'm Jack, that's Daniel, Wynter, and Layla. It's nice to meet you." She smiled, flashing perfect white teeth.

"So, Annabeth's gonna hang with us for a while. What do you guys want to do?" Percy said. I shrugged and we ended up sitting on the couch playing video games.

I decided to find out how Percy knew Annabeth. Maybe they were adopted siblings? They looked nothing alike.

"So Annabeth, how do you know Percy? Are you related?" I asked her.

Percy and Annabeth both laughed really hard for the next couple of minutes.

"No, we're not related. We've been dating for almost two years now," Annabeth replied. WHAT!?

He had a girlfriend? Who lived with him?! Wynter shot me a sympathetic look. My eyes teared up.

"Umm Layla? Are you okay?" Percy asked, concerned.

"Y-y-yeah. I have to go," I whispered. And then I ran out the door, heartbroken.

That chapter was embarrassing. It was so short and really bad. Sorry.
