Sometimes, Popularity and Popularity Don't Belong Together

Introduction: Annabeth has been dating Luke since freshman year, but doesn't love him the way she used to. Now, she has her eyes set on a boy who some consider popular, but who doesn't consider himself popular, Percy Jackson, the rebel of popularity in Goode High. Annabeth intends to make him hers.

Chapter 1

A/N: I have a whole bunch of new ideas for fanfictions, and I want to get started on them as soon as possible. So, I'll start with this one. I know I haven't been working on my other ones for a while, but it's not my fault. My family and my school are keeping me busy, and believe me when I say it really pisses me off. I'll try to find as much time for me to work on my fanfictions as I can. Here's the beginning of a new fanfiction.

Annabeth's POV

Torture. That's the only word that can describe what is happening to me right now. It's torture because I'm at lunch right now, sitting with my boyfriend Luke Castellen. How is that you may ask, my boyfriend isn't what he used to be. When I first knew him, he was a nice and disent guy, but now, he nothing like that. Now, he's some sort of monster. He's always abusive to everyone, flirts with every girl he sees that he finds hot, and he hardly ever pays attention to me now. The only time he would pay attention to me in any way is when he's shoving his tongue in my mouth, literally. Thank the gods that's as far as he goes. He doesn't sexually abuse me, though I have a feeling that he may get to a point where he will. I always had some feelings for him when we were younger, but ever since he became the best football player in Goode High, he changed. He's not the Luke that I once knew and had a crush on. I suppose you're wondering why I don't just break up with him. It's because I'm worried that if I do, Luke is going to do so many terrible things to not only me, but to many other people. Everytime I try to resist him, he hurts me and whatever person he sees that he considers a loser. I wish that night 2 years ago never happened.

Flashback

"Is she gonna be okay?" I asked the nurse.

"It's hard to say exactly, but if she responds to the surgery we give her, she should be fine." The nurse said.

Luke's mother was the one in the hospital. She was at the game Luke was playing. It was Goode High vs New York High School. She was walking from the concessing stan to her car so she could head home, but she was tackled by one the football players. She was tackled pretty hard appearently, because when we all went to her, it didn't look like she was breathing, she looked like she lost her life, and she looked a little limped. It was horrible. Ever since then, Luke has been the monster he is today. His mother is still alive, but she's forced to live in the hospital because the impact of her fall and tackle did some severe brain damage to her.

"Is she okay?" Luke asked worridly.

"They said they don't know. She's hardly responding right now." I said.

He had a lot of anger in his eyes. Then he just ran out of the hospital. I would have gone after him, but I had a feeling it was best if I let Luke alone for a little while. When the next day came, I arranged for him and I to have a romantic dinner at T.J. Willies. I showed up and waited for Luke for about half an hour, but he never showed up. So I called him to see what was going on. When he answered, I was relieved, but not happy on what I got from the call.

"Hey Luke, where are you?" I asked.

"Leave me alone. I don't want to be anywhere near you." Luke shouted.

I couldn't help but feel hurt and broken after he said that. "But Luke, don't you remember I made dinner plans for us tonight?" I asked.

"Fuck you and fuck off. I don't need anything from you. He shouted to me, and then he hung up on me.

I couldn't believe what I just heard. Now, I can't look at Luke the same way anymore. I know what happened must be hard on him, but he didn't have to go this far for being in so much pain. Does he not know the pain he just caused me? I feel so many tears from my eyes. And now, I'm running out of T.J.s and driving home with a broken heart. I knew from that moment that Luke would never be the same, and that "us" would never be the same.

End of Flashback

"What did I do to you?" I heard someone say, awakening me from my memories of the past. I look to see Luke holding a kid by the neck of his shirt.

"You are a loser Valdez, and when I find losers, I teach them the consequences of them being who they are." Luke snarled, and was about to slam his fist right in Valdez's face, when someone took hold of Luke's fist, preventing him from hitting Valdez.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size Castellen. The other boy said. I had no idea who he was, but he was the most attractive boy I've ever laid my eyes on. I know, I really shouldn't be thinking anything like that with me having a boyfriend and everything, but I can't help it. I've never seen anyone like him before. He looks like someone who would be considered popular. He's defending someone who needs help, he has jet black hair, tan skin, lean and muscular body, and sea green eyes. He's perfect.

"Jackson? Why are you still denying that you belong in my group and not these losers? Luke sneered. Jackson? As in Percy Jackson? I've never met him before, but Luke has mentioned him. Luke believes all the kids at school that are considered popular are to be with Luke and his gang. Percy Jackson is considered popular from what I've heard. Most people who are offered a place in Luke's gang would accept, but from what hear, everytime this Percy Jackson is offered to be in Luke's gang, he refuses and declines. I wasn't sure if Luke was serious about that or not, but I can definitely see he was. I'm very shocked by this, but at the same time very happy. If there's actually a person that refuses Luke so much, then he's abviously a good person.

"The only losers that are in this school are you and your gang Luke. Leo is perfectly fine the way he is, as am I. I'll never be in you gang Luke. Also, I'll only repeat this once, Let Leo go." He said.

"And what if I don't?" Luke asked.

"You know just as well as everyone else, I'm just as skilled of a fighter as you are. So unless you want to be utterly humiliated in front of the entire school, I suggest you let him go. He said. I could tell be the look in his eyes that he was dead serious on what he said. I can't help but find his features and heroics very, very, sexy. Luke actually looked scared of him. I can see why he wants Percy Jackson to be in his gang. Luke let Leo go and ran out of the cafiteria. I watched him leave until I couldn't see him anymore. Then, I turned my attention back to Percy and Leo.

"Are you okay Leo?" Percy asked with so much concern.

"Yeah, I am now, thanks to you. Thank you Percy." Leo said.

"You're welcome, anything for my friends. Come on Leo, how about I take you out and get you some lunch." Percy offered. He so nice and sweet to him. Why can't Luke be anything like him. I don't know if this is a good thing for me to want or not, but I'd kill to have a boyfriend like that. I have a feeling that Luke may not be right for me now. Something inside of me tells me that I should be with Percy Jackson now.

"I'd like that. Thank you Percy. Can we go to Wendy's?" Leo asked.

"Anything you want buddy. Let's go." Percy said as they were leaving. I can't help but to keep his appearence in my head. Even when he's gone, I can't get him out of my head. It's official, I want him. I just hope I can find the courage I need to try to face Luke about this, and to ask for Percy's heart.

That's it for chapter 1. There are some things I need to tell you all about this. This story will not just be my story. I recently made a fanfic friend, Daughterofwater22. She is without a doubt my biggest fanfiction fan, because all the stories I've finished and are still working on, she loves. I even told her about all of the stories I plan to make in the future. She and I have developed a strong friendship, and she would like to have a share in my stories and be co-author. To show my appriciating to her, she is now the co-author for some of my fanfiction ideas. She will be helping me with this new fanfiction, and few others after this one. So, as you read and enjoy this story, be sure to give half of your pleasure and appriciation of this story to her. I will be doing all of the odd numbered chapters, and she will be doing all of the even numbered chapters. Together, she and I will make this one of the best fanfictions you'll ever read.
