Annabeth pov.

I walk down the school hallway towards my locker to get my lunch. Helen wont pay for me to get lunch at the school but her daughters do. Also the food here is actually really good compared to other school's. I walk up to my locker to put my combo in but i'm stopped, "Want your lunch Annie?"

I just shake my head and step back from my locker. The door swings opens, and out steps Thalia with my lunch bag in her hands. "Here you go mad'am! I'll meet you in the lunch room in a minute. Remember where we're sitting." She shuts my locker and runs down the hall.

What just happened?

I walk into the lunch room and wait by the door for Thalia. I should probably call he- Oh wait, that would require having a phone at the moment. I sighed and started to turn around when somebody grabs my shoulder.

"Look what the cat dragged in." The hair on the back of mt neck sticks up and I whirl around, "What do you two want?"

"Mmm, Annie. Did I ever tell you how much I hate your hair?" I stare at Rachel blankly, "I don't know what it is, I just hate it." She reaches up and grabs a hunk of my hair.

"Maybe its the color? It's so bright, and happy. Maybe it's the curls? They make you look so innocent and sweet," She starts to tug on my hair on each word, "Maybe because its connected to your ugly head, I think that's it."

My knees start to shake from the pain of her ripping at my hair. I hold in my tears, because I would rather die then give her the satisfaction of seeing me in pain.

"The hair, Annie. It... It just has to go. I can't stand it, something beautiful shouldn't be on the head of something hideous!" Her grip tightens on the back of my head and one of her hands goes behind her back.

"What do you want, Rachel?!" I grunt out through my clenched teeth. "Oh Annie... I've been watching you," Stalker much? " I have started to notice that your eyes wander where they shouldn't be going? Do you know where you look?"

She yanks my head backwards and I drop on to my knees. "Tell me Annie!" She pulls her hand forward and reveals old rusty scissors. What is wrong with this lady?! She yanks my head more and I get the words out, "I don't know!"

She wraps my hair up into her hands until her knuckles are brushing my head, and I can't stop the tear the falls slowly down my face. My head pounds and I know right then if she wont let go, i'm going to pass out from the pain.

"You'r eyes have been looking at my new boyfriend, and that's a no no! Percy already has enough little stalkers to put up with, and he doesn't need to see your ugly face starring at him."

I knew she was talking but all I could make out was "Boyfriend", "stalker" and "Batman!"

Her grip loosened, and I crumbled to the cold floor that was so inviting. Dark spots danced in my vision, but I could just make out three approaching figures. I heard yelling before my head hit the ground unconscious.

The need to itch my neck wakes me from my slumber. I pry my eyes open and immediately regret it when a bright light shines into them.

"Get that light out of her eyes you old hag!" I crack a smile at Thalia's voice. Only she would have the audacity to call Ms. Dodd an old hag.

I open my eyes and thankfully, this time there was no bright light. Thalia's face comes into view and she grins down at me, "I told them that tickling your neck would wake you up."

I look around the nurse's office for "them" and find two figures sitting in small little plastic chairs. I blink a few times and they come into vision. One looks like he came out of a hot topic magazine while the other looks like he should be an Abercrombie and Fitch model.

"You gave us quit a scare there young lady! If it weren't for these two young men who carried you down here, we would have to call an ambulance! I'm going to go call your mo-"

"No! I mean she has a really important, uh, meeting with a client today. I don't want to bother her, and i'm feel perfectly fine." She gives me a skeptical look " Please?"

She sighs, "Alright fine, but if you start feeling light headed come back here." She walks out and shuts the door behind her.

"You seriously need to be a lawyer or something, because that was some impressive smooth talking you just did there." I start to shake my head, but stop when a flare of pain arcs in my skull.

"Hey Thalia, do you have something to stop this headaches? Because it's killing me" I whisper quietly.

"Yeah in my locker, just give me a minute." She gives me a look of determination, that makes my heart swell. Like me, Thalia has always hated receiving pity, so she doesn't give it to others. It is one of the many things that makes us good friends.

"I'll come with you." I watch as Thalia flings the door open and marches out with Nico not far behind, leaving me alone.

Alone with Percy Jackson.

Tell me if you like it! So yesterday I was playing capture the flag in social studies ( don't ask). A kid and I collided into each other and we had gashes on our foreheads. We went to the hospital, and I had tot get 17 stitches! It was my first time ever getting stitches and it felt really weird! ANY WHO... TELL ME IF YOU LIKES IT, PLEASE!
