Matthew Reeds (M)

Hey, my name is Matthew Reeds. If you don't know me, you've probably been living under a rock. I'm the captain of the swim team at Cannon Ridge High School. I'm the biggest player at school. Anyway, there is big swim-meet that Cannon Ridge is hosting. It's for the top 4 swimming high school teams in the country. Our rivals were Goode Sharks, Marble Hills Lions, and Lakewood Ox.

I also have my eyes on this really hot girl. Her name is Annabeth Chase, she's smart and hot. Curly princess blonde hair, grey eyes, and a curvy, tan body. After Cannon Ridge wins, I'm going to ask her out. Then sleep with her then dump her.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my coach. He's been worrying about the meet.

"Reeds! You're going up against the Goode captain, Percy Jackson, for the 800m butterfly, 400m breast stroke, 800m freestyle, and 50m back stroke. He's been in the Olympics and won. You need to train more," Coach Stephen commanded.

"Relax Coach, I got this."

"No you don't have this. Jackson went against professionals and won! Now he's going against high-schoolers and will win!"

Practise was over and I drove home. I was thinking of ways to ask Annabeth out.

***

Today was the big day. I've been finding out stuff about Annabeth. I found the perfect way to ask. When the races were over, the winner is going to get a chance to say something, I'll ask her then.

I drove to school in my Mercedes and started to train. The whole school got the day off to watch.

I also saw Annabeth today, it was weird though. She was wearing a red and gold hoodie when our school colour was green and silver. She also sat on the wrong side, she sat at the Goode cheer bleachers.

I shook the though away as the intercom came. "This round is a 800m butterfly and the captains of Goode, Percy Jackson who is also an Olympic contestant will be participating. The captain of Cannon Ridge will also be participating."

Loud claps set off from the Goode bleachers and I saw Annabeth cheering too. I took a good look at the captain. Black hair, sea-green eyes, tan, and a perfect swimmer body.

"On your mark, get set, go!"

I dove into the water and swam as fast as I could. I didn't bother to look beside me but when I turned around. I didn't see Jackson in front. He's probably behind me. When I finished, I got out of the water but saw Jackson already drying himself and walking over to the Goode cheering section. He wasn't even panting.---------

Everyone finished. "Alright! The winners of the 200m butterfly are recorded! In third place, we have Richard Adams from Lakewood! In second place we have Matthew Reeds from Cannon Ridge! And in first place, we have Percy Jackson from Goode!"

What? Jackson won? Ugh, now he gets to say something. Jackson walked up to the podium with an apple in his hand. What is he gonna do with an apple, eat it?

"I would like to thank every single one of you that showed up to watch us swim. I loved every second of this meet. Thank you Cannon Ridge for hosting this swim meet, hopefully I'll get to swim here again," Jackson announced. I scoffed, he's acting humble.

"And also, Wisegirl catch!" Jackson yelled as he threw the apple to the other side of the pool. Annabeth had caught it. She started tearing up and Jackson's friends gasped.

"Look what you did Jackson! You made her cry!" I yelled.

He ignored me and that's when Annabeth ran in my direction. I opened my arms to hug her but she ran straight past me and into Jackson's grasp. They hugged.

"Oh my gods Seaweed Brain," what?, "I love you so much."

Oh no! I stepped forward and pushed Percy into the pool. I grabbed Annabeth and kissed her forcefully. Out of the corners of my eyes, I saw Jackson's head hitting the edge of the pool. When I pulled away, Annabeth slapped me.

"NO! Percy!" She yelled but she didn't dive in. A blond guy with shocking blue eyes took off his shirt and dove in. A few seconds later, he had Jackson over his shoulder. He threw Jackson up, Jackson was unconscious.

Annabeth went in and hugged the blond dude. "Thank you so much Jason. I know how much you hate the water, thank you."

So his name was Jason. Annabeth cupped her hands and water flowed in. She threw the water onto Jackson and he started to wake up. He looked around and saw me.

"You," Jackson growled. I can feel multiple people glaring daggers at me. I started to walk away when Coach grabbed me.

"You're out of the team Reeds."

"What? Coach, you can't!" I was devastated.

"Yes I can. I was your coach and I'm a teacher. You're done for the swim team. And you're suspended!"

"What did I do?" I whined.

Coach didn't answer this time.

"What did you do? Are you kidding me? You pushed my fiancé into the pool and he slammed his head onto the edge! You could've killed him!" Annabeth yelled at me.

"Fiancé," I asked.

"Yes fiancé and now go away! Get out of here! I'm moving to New York!"
