Annabeth's POV
As kids start to fill the lunchroom, I start to get nervous.
What if they have an extra copy? What if they say things about me anyway! What if people believe them?
I take deep breaths so I don't start having a panic attack.
Percy sits next to me and I get my food. When I come back the questions start filling my brain again.
What if Percy hates me after this? What are they gonna say? Are they gonna humiliate me so badly that I can't show my face at school again? What if this causes more bullies to bully me?
At these thoughts my breath picks up and I start hyperventilating.
Percy notices and grabs my arm. "Annabeth? Are you okay?" he asks. I don't answer and he starts rubbing my arms. "Annabeth? Calm down. You'll be fine." Tears start to gather in my eyes but I refuse to let them escape. "Shh. Relax. Take deep breaths."
My breathing slowly comes back to normal. "Thank you." He smiles and says, "No problem." I smile and relax.
During the last bit of lunch I see Rachel and her posse climb the steps to the stage in the lunchroom. I bite my lip and wait.
"Attention!" Rachel screams and every stops talking. "All of you Annabeth Chase, correct?" she asks. A ton of people nod but some don't because I'm practically invisible. "Well, if you don't, she's the ugly girl dressed as a goth today," she states as if it's something she says every day. The words feel like a thousand knives stabbing me. "We have a little secret about little Annie. Annie used to sing. Key word: used to. You wanna know why? Well, for starters her voice is like a dying wolf, and secondly, well I'll just show you," she says while pushing buttons on the computer that's connected to the projector.
When nothing comes up, she gives a look of confusion and checks the disk inserted. Then she sees it's empty. Her eyes get wide. "Well, it seems like I can't show you. So, um, well," she whispers to her posse, "what do I do?!" I see them all shrug and she lets out a frustrating sigh and gets off the stage.
Wait! That worked?!
I'm so shocked but then I turn to Percy and wrap my arms around him. "Thank you so much!" I say. The next thing he says causes butterflies to flutter in my stomach.
"Of course, I would do anything for you."
