I have everything. Everything I need, everything I want. Money, the looks, the girls, everything. My dad does owns one of the most biggest aquariums in the USA. Olympus Aquariums. In addition to that, he owns a bunch of hotels. My mom owns a bakery, so we're quite well off. I attend Goode High School and I'm a senior there. You could practically call me the king of the school. Highest social status anyone could have. My friends were all up their with me. Of course, they are not players like me. They all have girlfriends. Except Nico. He has a boyfriend. I was the only one out of my entire friends circle who used girls like a tissue.

I would feel like a jerk, but every girl knows what they're getting into when they flirt with me. Before anything happens, I tell them that this is a one-time thing. Nothing more. Yet they throw themselves at me. So, not really my fault. Anyway, getting back to the point, I have everything. Well, almost. The only thing I don't have is her.

Annabeth Chase.

To put it simply, she was a goddess. She had long, blonde hair in curls that came up to her waist. Her stormy grey eyes were the epitome of beauty. She was the star player and captain of the track team. Perfect score. Straight A's in every possible subject. Apparently, she had an interest in architecture. A perfect girl.

One would think that with my looks, picking up a girl would be the easiest thing in the world. But you see, there is one small problem. She hates me. Saying she hates me is an understatement. She loathes me. Every single time I talk to her, or should I say flirt with her, she has this sneer on her face. Well, it's either that or a look of disgust. I don't even know why!

Okay, that's a lie. You see, before high school started and puberty hit me, we were... Friends, you could say. We used to hang out at each other's house, play, do homework together and all that stuff. But then, high school happened. I got a girlfriend, Rachel. Then, she got a boyfriend, Luke. Slowly, we just drifted apart. We stopped hanging out. Soon, we stopped talking and acted as if we never knew each other. And then, Rachel started acting like a bitch, so I broke up with her. And then on, I adopted my present lifestyle. And, I'm not gonna lie, it has its perks.

Anyway, we had a field trip to one of the museums for our English class. Our teacher, Mr. Brunner, really loved to go on field trips. We had one to a museum or something practically every month. We were doing something on Greek mythology, so Mr. Brunner took us to this history museum.

Once we arrived there, Mr. Brunner assigned us partners so we could explore the museum and write our report. I would be lying if I said I wasn't hoping with all my being for my partner to be Annabeth. Not only was she smart, which was obviously helpful for my assignment, but this could be my chance to actually get her to like me. At least, as a friend.

"Jason Grace and Piper McLean"

"Grover Underwood and Frank Zhang"

"Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson."

On the outside, I looked like I couldn't care less. But, inside? I was freaking out. This was my chance. My chance to prove to her that I'm not as bad as she thinks. Well, she might not be wrong about some stuff. I went up to her.

"Hey, princess."

"Perseus."

Did I forget to mention that she calls me by my full name? Back when we were friends, she called me Perseus when she was angry. So, considering the fact that she hates me, it's no surprise she calls me Perseus.

"Okay. You will have to stay with your assigned partners for the rest of the trip. We will all meet st the entrance at 4. You can leave in the middle to have your lunch. But, you will come right back. You are all seventeen-eighteen years old. I trust you enough that you won't pull any stupid tricks or try to ditch this trip. You will also have to write the report, that I mentioned in class. You may go now," Mr. Brunner said.
