Percy POV

Depression.

I know I have it, no doubt in my mind.

Apparently hating yourself and wanting to die isn't normal.

At least that's what my doctor and therapist told me.

They prescribed me some type of antidepressant pills.

The pills help, I guess.

Ok, not really.

They make me feel nauseous, so most of the times I don't take them.

It's seems that only thing, or rather only person, can send my depression away.

Annabeth.

I know that I have only known her for what? A month, maybe two? But I feel like we have this connection.

I don't know. It sounds stupid and cheesy, even me saying-or, well thinking- that it sounds stupid and cheesy is stupid and cheesy!

That doesn't even make sense, but then again, when do I ever make sense.

Anyways, back to thinking about Annabeth.

She gorgeous, smart and all the things I could never be.

I am so thankful that she's apart of my li-
"Percy it's time for school!" My mom pulled me out of my thoughts.

My weekend of thinking about Annabeth was sadly over and I had to come back to reality.

I quickly got ready and headed to school.

Walking into the school I had my guitar on my back and my hood up.

If I stay invisible, I won't get bullied.

That's what I've learned these past few years of getting bullied constantly.

I open my locker and take out my books.

"Hey Percy"

I jumped in shock before realizing it was just Annabeth.

"Oh h-hey Annabeth" I reply quietly.

She smiled "I thought about you on the weekend, ya know"

My eyes widen. She thought about me?

"Y-you did?" I stutter, trying to cover my shock. (I failed)

She smirked at my baffled expression.

"Ya, and I was wondering if you'd like to go on another date with me"

I was surprised to say the least.

She actually wanted to go on another date with me!

My eyes widened as I nodded rapidly.

I probably looked crazy, but I didn't care.

Annabeth wanted to go on another date with me!

"Yes! Y-yeah I-I'd really like that"

She smiled her wonderful smile once again and took my phone out of my pocket.

I bit my lip what was she doing? I wondered.

Her own phone buzzed as she finished typing.

"Here, I put me in your contacts. We can text later about the date" she said as she handed my phone back.

"O-ok"

"Bye Percy" she flirted, sending me a quick wink as she headed toward her friends, immediately jumping into their conversation.

I stood there dumbfounded until a guy dressed in all black with pale skin.

He looked about a year younger than me.

"I feel bad for you" he said.

I gave him a questioning look.

"W-why?" I asked, curious as to why he might feel bad for me.

"Your Annabeth's new 'boy toy'" he replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

He saw my confused face and realization dawned over him.

"You don't know, do you?"

"Kn-know what?" I muttered, starting to get nervous.

"Annabeth is the school playgirl. She's known for dating and breaking almost every guy in this school. It's just one big game for her. Guys always fall for her stunning looks and mischievous personality."

I shook my head she wouldn't do that to me, would she? No, no, no. She's been so nice to me these past few weeks.

"I-I don't believe y-you" I answered.

He shrugged "you don't have to, but if I were you, I'd break it off as soon as possible. No need for heartbreak"

I tried to shake what he said out of my head, but I couldn't.

I tried to convince myself that she wasn't using me, that what he said was a lie.

But maybe he was right, she would never actually go for someone like me.

Maybe she was just trying to add me to her long list of guys she's dated and broken.

But maybe, just maybe, she actually liked me.

Maybe, for once in my life I actually meant something to someone.

A/N: Yay another chapter :D. Oh and that last line he meant other than his mom. Lol. Anyway I'll try and update soon. ;) Pls vote and comment. Bye!😁
