Clarisse POV-
I woke up the next morning with tear stains on my face. I went up to the mirror in my bathroom and looked up at me. I was a mess, my hair was in knots, my tears still flowed, there were big bags under my shattered eyes, I was pale, I looked like I had just died and came back. I sighed and started to fix myself up.

"Clar-what happend?!!?" My roommate, Pansy, said as she opened the door.

"I'm not in the mood for your fussing" I said to her, in a cold tone.

"Are you okay?" She asked, she wasn't used to me, the tough girl who never cried, to be like this.

"I'm fine" I growled.

"Okay! No need to snap!" She said.

"Shut up punk" I said.

Pansy left the bathroom in a bad mood, I finished getting ready, still looking broken, and I left for breakfast.

I sat down at the end of the table away from everyone.

"Aww, look at this, the toughest girl in school sitting by herself. Guess no one likes a loser" Someone said. I looked up from my food and glared at the girl. She shrieked and backed up.

"Shut up punk" I growled. Draco started to come over to me but I held up a finger, gesturing for him to not come any closer. "If you come anywhere near me, your dead" I said in a dead serious tone. Draco looked scared and then went back to his seat.

After a couple minutes of eating, I heard footsteps coming near me.

"Don't" I said, not looking at the person.

The person kept coming closer and I turned around to glare at the person...only to be met by Percy's eyes. I relaxed and let him come closer.

Percy sat down next to me.

"Aren't you supposed to be at the teachers table?" I asked.

"Ya, but they don't understand me. They try to, but they will never understand it. They don't like my attitude, I thought I'd sit with someone who knows what it was like." Percy said.

"Why do are lives suck? Why can't we be normal?" I said. Percy sighed.

"Because life hates us. Apparently, we don't deserve a happy ending" Percy said.

"Last night...I wanted to end it. I didn't want to deal with the pain. I can't do that though Percy, I can't just leave you alone." I don't really know were these strong feeling are coming from...I just feel the need to help Percy.

"I need your help Percy." I said, looking into his eyes.

"And I need yours" He said. Are eyes locked, and I saw hope, fear, longing, and pain...lots of pain in his eyes. I felt something when I looked into his eyes...I'm sure it was nothing.

Percy looked away and said, "I need to go." before getting up and leaving.

As I watched him leave, I suddenly felt...lonely, and vulnerable. I wanted him to save me, to help me back on my feet.

Draco's POV-
I don't like the was Clarisse looks at Professor Jackson. She looked at him like he can help her, like he's been through hell. Can't she understand that I'm the one who can help? That I love her? Why doesn't she accept me? I can help her...and I will get her to be mine.
