Mortals meet demigods

Lila Knight

Lila's POV

Hello. I'm Lila Knight. I'm 18 and a senior at Goode High. My friends are David, Alyssa his girlfriend, Justin, his girlfriend Destiny, and Percy. We used to have a friend whose name is Rachel, but she got shipped off to a fancy boarding school. I am currently in third period, English with , Percy's Stepdad. Instead of paying attention, I found myself staring at Percy. Okay, I admit I have a little crush on Percy. I mean who wouldn't? He has gorgeous sea-green eyes, adorable, messy black hair, and he is the captain of the swim team, has nice abs and does not act like a total jerk.

He also mentioned he had a girlfriend, but we (his friends) think it's just an excuse to turn down girls that always ask him out. And by the ways he looks at me, I think he plans to ask me out.

I met Percy when he was a freshman in Goode. Back then his only friends were me and Rachel. I think it's because he blew up every school he had been to or maybe it's because there's a rumor that he blew up the band room.

But what really bugs me is that every year after summer is he gets new scars. Every time I ask him, he just shrugs it off or ignores me.

As I started to daydream about Percy asking me on a date, the bell rang.

We were walking to our lunch table, but when we noticed a tall, pretty girl with blonde curly hair and steely gray eyes. I immediately started to itch with jealously. She was prettier than me and by her eyes, smarter than me.

But what annoys me so much is that she didn't care about her looks and she wore no makeup, but she looked gorgeous.

Then, I asked "Um... I'm not trying to be rude, but what are you doing at our table?"

The mystery girl looked up, stopping whatever she was doing and said "Sorry. I was just waiting for a friend."

"Then, I'm Lila Knight."

"David Anderson"

"Alyssa Jones"

"Justin Williams"

"Destiny Colesman"

"My name is Annabeth Chase. Nice to meet you," the mystery g- Annabeth said.

Then, a voice behind us said, "Sorry I was late, guys. I got held up b- Annabeth? Is that you?"

"Yes Seaweed Brain, it is," Annabeth said, now standing up. Seaweed Brain?

Then Percy came to a full sprint towards her. He then pulled her into a tight hug, and kissed her.

And then my heart slowly started to break into pieces.

"What are you doing here?!"

"What, can't I visit my boyfriend?"

"Yes! I mean I thought you were in San Francisco! "

"Relax Seaweed Brain. I had to move here because of my... er... project. Besides, I'm just shadowing today. I think I might attend Goode this year."

"I missed you Wise Girl." Wise girl?

"Um... Lila, are you okay?" David asked me.

"Yeah, but I think I'm sick. I have to go home," I lied.

"Oh okay. I hope you feel better. See you soon," He replied.

"Bye guys. It was nice meeting you Annabeth."

"You too. Bye Lila!"

When I reached home, I ran to my room. Threw myself on my bed and cried. It really hurt knowing your crush didn't like you back.

I guess he will never think of me as more than a friend.

I thought that I owed you guys, so I updated again. Anywho I'm going to update every Monday and at chapter 30 this book will be completed. Sure I will still continue after that, but that will end the book.
