There is a girl in the front of my class who I swear I've never seen her do anything but laugh

Percy sang as she placed letters next to the cabin doors, how did it come to this?

She's tall and she's smart beautiful and strong and when someone's down she tries to fix what is wrong

Athena remembered how Percy tried to cheer her daughter up, and it worked, Percy wasn't smart nor beautiful, she wasn't strong either.

How does someone so perfect feel so insecure as to scar her skin with cuts and burns and still wants to hurt more

The Gods were watching over camp half blood, when Percy caught their attention, her long black sleeves were pulled up showing the burns and cuts that lined her arms and possibly her whole body

How does someone so loving learn to hate her own guts drawing a picture on her arms with a blade as if her mind isn't dark enough

"Annabeth, this place is so cool!" Percy said as she looked around with a smile on her face, Annabeth thought that Percy had lost her mind, as she followed the daughter of Poseidon

There is a girl in the front of my class who's eyes are glazed over like newly cut glass

Percy's eyes were so dark and broken, but no one noticed how she toyed with Riptide, well at least she thought no one did, she missed the Goddess that was in the hearth

The ghost of a smile hints at her face and laughs as they tell her 'who's on first base'

Percy laughed as Annabeth tells Percy that a child of Apollo was trying to get past first base but failed

How does someone so perfect, feel so insecure? As to scar her skin with cuts and burns and still want to hurt more

Percy wondered if it was her first Stepfather, who made her feel like this? As she burnt her arm as she smiled slightly because the pain was nothing, the Gods flinched slightly

How does someone so loving, learn to hate her own guts? Drawing a picture on her arms with a blade as if her mind isn't dark enough

"Hey Annabeth?" Percy asked as the two girls sat down on the beach, Annabeth nodded her head for Percy to keep talking "do you think that Hades would send me to Tartarus?" Percy asked as Annabeth looked at Percy like she was crazy.

There is a girl in the front of my class who's sad that you find it rare to see her smile or laugh

Over time the Gods realized Percy no longer smile or laugh at anything, her friends realized the same thing

Her friends tell her jokes like that one with the guy but all she does is close her eyes and enter her mind

Percy's friends were trying to get Percy to smile or laugh but all she does is close her eyes and enter her mind

How does someone so perfect, feel so insecure? As to scar her skin with cuts and burns and still want to hurt more

Percy was alone in her cabin as the gods watched helplessly as she brought the blade down to her arm, they watched as no emotion crossed her face

For her imperfections

"It's time." Was all the girl said

There is a girl in the front of my class who yesterday took the breath that was her last

The Gods watched she hung herself in cabin 3, they knew that it was pointless because Hades said she was dead and that she was happy being dead

She wrote a few notes: I'm sorry I didn't say but my mind was messed up, you couldn't save me anyway

The Gods flashed down as they listened to her notes, the reason she died was because of her own mind

And to the girl in the back of the class, who feels the way I did

Everyone looked at Nico, because he was the closest to Percy

How does someone so perfect, feel so insecure? As to scar her skin with cuts and burns and still want to hurt more.....

Hades looked at Poseidon as he narrowed his eyes "she's trying to go to Tartarus," Poseidon told the Sea God.
