Giana P.O.V.

Hey. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Giana Lucky. My parents are pretty famous, that with my dad being a famous businessman and my mom being a popular actress. I have long, dark brown hair and lighter brown highlights in front. My eyes are a baby blue color, and I have long eyelashes. My parents expect so much from me, but I'm not sure I can make them proud without changing myself.

My parents want me to be the popular girl, the one from the movies.
"Every guy should want to date you and every girl should want to be you." Is what they say to me daily. I have to be the captain of the cheer team, even though I like lacrosse. I have to wear short skirts, and skinny jeans when I want to wear leggings. They even choose who I hang out with!

Anyways, enough about me. Here is the story of how I met Percabeth.

I was walking through the school hallway with my 'friends' behind me. Their names are Whitney and Elaina. I've been friends with Elaina for a while, but I met Whitney at the beginning of High School. Elaina is going through the same thing with her parents as me, so we have a nice bond. Now, we're in Junior year. My mother wants me to have the 'hottest' guy in school as my boyfriend by my 16th birthday. His name is Percy Jackson and I admit, he's pretty cute, but there is a problem. He rejects every girl that asks him out.

He says he has a girlfriend, and I'm one of the only ones who believe him. I feel really bad trying to ruin his relationship, but I have to make my parents proud. Today I'm wearing the casual outfit, since it's Autumn. I have a salmon pink sweater on, with light blue skinny jeans. My friends are wearing similar outfits, but Whitney has on a forest green sweater, and Elaina has on a royal blue sweater.

As I walk past Percy in the hallway, I wink at him and give him my 'irresistible' smile. I think it makes me look like a try-hard, but my parents like it. He rolls his eyes at me and continues talking to a blonde with electric (sea what I did there ;)) blue eyes. I think his name was Jason. He had almost as much girls pinning after him as Percy did, and that's a lot.

As we were in history class, I zoned out as the teacher was telling us about some underrated inventors. I was just thinking about how it would be like to live as who I wanted to. To be able to dress and act however I want. Be friends with whom I choose, and for my parents to be proud of me to matter what. As I'm day dreaming I hear the teacher say my name, snapping me back to reality. "Giana?" My head turns to him. "Yes, sir?" I ask hoping I don't have to answer a question. "Please, pay attention while I'm speaking." He says calmly. (Not Dumbledore calm, but actually calm.) "Sorry, sir. I will." I reply focusing back onto my work.

~Time skip to later on in the day~

School was almost over and I know I have to ask Percy out soon, or I might not get him before my birthday, which is next week. So I'm deciding whether or not I should just ask him out after school, or get someone to tell him to ask me out. Maybe both. I write a note saying
Whitney,
Can you talk to Percy after class to tell him how amazing I am, but while doing it subtly? Thanks so much!
Xoxo,
Giana
I pass it to Peyton, the boy in between me and Whitney, and whisper "Pass it to Whitney, please." While winking. He passes it to her while blushing a bit at my wink and I watch her eyes skim over the note. She glances at me and gives a small nod so we don't get caught. I go back to my science test, doodling because I've already finished. Did I mention I want to be an artist when I grow up? No? Ok, well, I do.

~Another time skip. THERE ARE SO MANY, SORRY~

I'm chatting with Elaina about our assignment in English, while Whitney comes back from talking to Percy. "He said he thinks you're kinda pretty, but he's still saying he has a girlfriend, and isn't looking for another." Whitney says, scrolling through Instagram. I mean, at least I have a shot! " Thanks, Whit. I owe you one." I reply. "Can we go to the mall tomorrow? I'm running out of my favorite perfume." Whitney asks while turning her phone off and sliding into her back pocket. "Yeah, sure." Elaina says before I say "Ok, maybe I can pay for it as my debt?" I say hopefully. She agrees, and we exit the school. I see Percy who looks like he's waiting for someone, under a tree. "See you later, girls." I say before walking over to him.

"Hey, Percy." I say in my sweetest voice. He looks over at me. "Oh, hey. Giana, was it? I think we have 3rd period together." He says scratching the back of his neck, awkwardly. "Yeah, actually. I'm surprised you remember." I giggle a little. "So, I was wondering if you want to maybe go for a coffee later?" I ask hesitantly. He looks shocked, probably because we almost never speak to each other. "Look," he says after a moment. "You're a great girl and all but, I'm in a serious relationship and it's going pretty well. My girlfriend will be transferring to this school next week, so I'm hoping to not get asked out. I'm really sorry." He explains. I try to look a little hurt, even though I'm happy. "Oh, it's fine. I actually have to tell you something else, too." I decided right then and there to tell another person about my life. I have no clue why I did but I suddenly felt compelled to do so. Well, I only told him the parents and school part. He understands and says he hopes that eventually my parents will realize they already have a great daughter how she is.

That may be one of the sweetest things someone's ever said to me and meant it. I thank him and we talk for a bit while sitting in the shade of the willow tree. My chauffeur came so I had to leave, but not before we exchanged numbers.

Percy and I became friends ever since. Sometimes, he pretends to be my boyfriend in front of my parents, but we don't kiss or anything. I met his girlfriend the next week, when she comes. Her name is Annabeth and she's really cool. We also become good friends. I keep up my 'popular girl' show, but I'm myself around my friends.

Whitney changed a bit, but in a good way. She's nicer now and started to care about school. She told me and Elaina that her grandma had recently passed away, and all her grandma ever wanted for her was for her to be nice, and work hard in academics.

And that, my friends, is how I met Percabeth and got closer to my friend. Maybe I'll see you again? Bye!
