My name is Caleb Matthews and I am heartbroken.

Why? Let me start you off from the beginning, I went to Goode High School sophomore year. I was a loser, didn't have many friends, didn't really want any friends. It was all good. But then I met him and that all changed.

Percy Jackson, my first friend at Goode High.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was October on a Tuesday afternoon. He walked into the cafeteria with all his swim buddies but he noticed me. I was sitting behind the garbage cans like Greg from Diary of A Wimpy Kid.

He walked over to me, offered me a hand, and pulled me up. I remember him telling me to come and sit with him and his friends. I immediately agreed. Who would pass up the offer to sit with the swim team?

I kept sitting with them everyday and soon I was just part of their group. All because Percy noticed me I had all these friends. And I couldn't help it when I started to develop some feelings for Percy as our friendship grew stronger.

The day came when I was going to tell him how I felt.

But that plan was thrown out the window when I stepped foot into school and didn't find Percy leaning against his locker talking to his teammates. No one was at his locker. I asked his friends and they said he wasn't at school yet.

His step-dad, Mr. Blofis was though. I asked him and he said that over Christmas Break he went missing. Not even he knows where he went. They had people looking for them already and had informed police.

It felt like a nightmare.

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Slowly, people started to pretend like I didn't exist. I was back at my spot below the garbage cans, watching as people laughed and talked with their friends.

Percy Jackson was gone so I was gone too.

That summer and junior year there was still no sign of Percy so I decided to transfer to this half boarding school. It was a weird program, staying at the school on weekdays and staying at home on weekends. It sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try.

Then I met Annabeth Chase.

And I fell hard. Harder than I ever fell for Percy. I didn't even know it was possible to like someone that much but there I was, ogling over some girl I never even talked to before.

She was beautiful, not at all like the other basic white girls at that school.

Her blonde hair curled into perfect ringlets and her grey eyes sparkled when the sun hit them. Her long tan legs went on for miles and she was just simply beautiful. And it seemed as though she didn't have too many friends either.

I've seen her with one other girl with darker skin and choppy brown hair with kaleidoscope eyes. Her name was Piper McLean, daughter of the famous Tristan McLean. But she had nothing on Annabeth.

A few weeks into school I introduced myself to them. They were so nice too, not ignoring me like the other people in that school. I finally had people to sit with at lunch again and when I came out to them, they were so open and supportive.

We became best friends.

And a few months later (today) I was ready to tell Annabeth how I feel about her. I had it all planned out in my head, I'd go up to her after school and tell her, we'd kiss and then maybe go out to dinner because it is Friday. The rest of senior year was going to be the best.

The bell rang and I was the first one out of my desk, already practically sprinting down the hallway and to my dorm. I quickly packed my bag and left the school so I didn't miss Annabeth. I knew she left on Fridays for her friend's house. Her parents lived in San Francisco.

Out on campus, I looked around for her. She was usually standing by the parking lot and a blue Prius would pick her up but I didn't see her anywhere. I couldn't find Piper either, maybe she already left.

I walked around, searching for Annabeth and I passed the side of the school where no one ever hangs out because everyone is out on the front lawn. But I froze in my spot when I heard a sigh come from the left of me, the side of the building.

I turned and I really wish I hadn't. Remember when in the beginning when I said I was heartbroken? Yeah? Well now I was totally and utterly heartbroken.

There was the girl I loved, being pressed against the brick wall being kissed aggressively by the boy who disappeared and never showed his face again.

In more detail because I would like you to feel the pain I'm feeling, Annabeth was pressed up against the brick wall by Percy Jackson's body. He held her arms above her head with one hand as his other hand was resting on her waist, under her shirt. That's right, he untucked her shirt.

Percy was kissing her, really kissing her and she was kissing back with the same passion. Their lips moved together and I just knew they were using more than just their lips by the way they were kissing.

I decided to speak up. "Percy?"

They jumped apart, Percy letting go of her and Annabeth fixing her shirt and hair. "Caleb? Is that you? Wow, I haven't seen you in forever!"

How could he just act like nothing was happening moments before?

I walked up to him and unexpectedly threw a punch at his face but before my fist connected with his jaw, he caught it with his own hand. There were some super reflexes right there.

Annabeth looked horrified. "Caleb? What the hades?" I learned never to question her language, her and Piper always used weird language like that.

I ignored her and tried to punch Percy again but he blocked my blow. He kept blocking them so I gave up on beating him up and settled for yelling.

"How could you!?" I shouted loud enough so the whole campus could hear me. Then it just kind of spilled out. "I loved you! And then you go missing for almost two years! Two years! Do you know how hard that was on me?! A-and then you come back and take another person I love!?"

Percy looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Why is everyone telling me they liked me all of a sudden?" He glanced over at Annabeth who just shrugged. "And how did I take another person you love?"

"Her!" I pointed at Annabeth. Her eyes widened. "I was going to tell her today that I liked her but now, you come back and just start kissing her!"

"Caleb, there's been a misunderstanding," Annabeth tried to reason.

"What is there to misunderstand?" I cried out, literally heartbroken but I fought back the tears.

"Percy and I-" She moved her finger between them. "-have been dating for a year and a half."

I widened my eyes and asked Percy, "W-what? So, you were dating Annabeth already when we became friends?"

"Yeah, for four months and then- you know." Percy rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry I never told you but I didn't tell anyone about my personal life and when I did tell someone I had a girlfriend they didn't believe me."

I nodded, biting my lip and looked up at Annabeth who was also biting her swollen lip, staring at Percy. Though I doubt she was biting her lip to keep it from warbling. She was checking Percy out when I was standing right here!

"I've got to go," I told them, then I ran for my car. I placed my key into the ignition and right before I sped off, I looked back over at Percy and Annabeth.

At least they weren't kissing. Annabeth was on Percy's back and he was holding her up by the backs of her knees. She was laughing as something he said as he walked to his car.

Then it hit me, that's where she goes on the weekends. To her boyfriend's house.

Yup. I'm heartbroken.
