Waiting For Superman

Chapter 1

Hey, guys! This is Blair, an owner of the IG account @we_live_to_read. This fanfic was posted on my IG account as You'll Miss Me, but I've changed the title considering my inspiration to this fanfiction was the song 'Waiting for Superman' by Daughtry. This is my first time using Wattpad to post my work, so I apologize for any mistakes made, no one is perfect, I usually post on fanfiction.net through my best friend and I's account AlexisandBlair (if you want to check it out).

I also wanted to inform you all about another fanfic I'm in the process of writing with my best friends Alexis (my co owner on my IG account) and Savannah. It's called Summertime Sadness and I can't tell you much, all I can say is that it's Percabeth with some other ships and that I already have the first chapter written, I just need to post it. I want to finish the second chapter before I do so, though.

Also, a warning for this fanfic, there's some mature themes, for example, abuse. This is rated T+ due to violence and some serious 'fluff'.

So here we go, sorry for that horribly long author's note and I hope you enjoy my story!

Chapter 1

Annabeth's POV

-

"Luke! Stop, please!" I scream as he creeps closer to me. I can see the balls of flaming anger in his eyes.

"I saw the way you looked at him!" He yells, inches away from my face.

"I looked at him in disgust! Nothing other than that!" I plead with tears streaming down my face.

He grabs onto my wrist and shoves me backwards, ramming me into the wall. Shooting pain ripples throughout my spine. Before my brain can process what he's doing, I feel a burning sensation across my cheek and warm liquid oozing from my nose. His grip becomes tighter on my arm and he wrenches it to the side. I screech in pain and crumple to the ground. My vision starts to dim as I notice extreme pain in my side. I look over to see him yank his foot back and he kicks me again. I yelp and he crouches next to me.

"Never look at him like that ever again," he snarls in my face and then darkness overtakes me.

•FLASHBACK- 9 AM THAT DAY•

I rushed down the school hallway to my first class, Greek Mythology with Mr.Brunner. It was our first week of school and he told us that we were going to have a large project to help us get to know our classmates. As I sat down, the bell rang, and I breathed out a sigh of relief.

"Good morning, class," Mr. Brunner said as he rolled into the class in his wheelchair, a blanket across his lap. "Today you will be receiving the partners for your project."

I quickly glanced over at Luke, who smirked at me. Mr.Brunner started calling out the pairs, and I crossed my fingers, hoping to be paired with Luke.

"Luke Castellan and Thalia Grace."

My heart sank. Who would I be paired with then?

"Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase," Mr.Brunner finished.

Crap. This is not good. I first glanced at Luke, then at Percy. Percy didn't look happy at all, but he forced a smile my way. I stared daggers at him and turned away.

How could this happen?

Luke would kill me, that's for sure. Percy and I are enemies, and Luke and Percy are already rivals. When I first came here last year, Percy immediately had his eyes on me, but I was NOT about to start having feelings for the most popular guy in school, the jock, the captain of the swim team. Perfect Percy. I was just the new girl, who came to be known as the weird, shy, smartest girl in school. The New Nerdy Annabeth Chase. Why would I have anything to do with the almighty Percy Jackson?

Luke was kind, sweet and caring when I met him. Captain of the football team, he was already rivals with Percy, and the second most popular guy in school. He seemed less obnoxious than Percy, but almost just as popular. Almost.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved with him, but I felt for him anyway, and now I'm stuck with him. He was the perfect boyfriend when we first started dating, but a little while in he became protective and mean. Harsh.

Rude, arrogant, selfish, everything a bad boyfriend could be, not to mention the fact that he hits me.

Now that I have to work with Percy, what would Luke think? What would he DO? Shivers went through me as I thought about all the possibilities, none of them good.

Mr.Brunner started explaining about what we were supposed to do for the project, something about interviewing each other and then writing out an essay on the things you did and learned about together.

My mind was elsewhere, though.

•4 PM THAT DAY, CONTINUING FLASHBACK•

"Hey baby. How about we go to my apartment? We can watch a movie or something," Luke smiled as he cornered me behind the school at the end of the day.

I knew this was dangerous, and my mind raced for an excuse.

"Actually, Luke, I have a lot of homework I have to catch up on. Maybe tomorrow-" I began, but he cut me off.

"Come on, it'll be fun," he said, closing in on me. He made sure to put venom and demand in his voice, and I gave in, afraid.

"S-sure, l-let's go."

He took my hand and we started walking to his apartment, where he lived alone. He led me into his room, and I knew this wouldn't end well. Fear buzzed through me like a blinking alarm, but I couldn't do anything.

I was trapped.

•END OF FLASHBACK•
