Chapter 1: We Just Need To Calm Down
New Story. Please read and give me some pointers. I'm new to this writing thing. Review plz.
I drove down Annabeth's street and pulled into the driveway. I slammed the door close and walked down the path to her door. Her house is modern compared to my house. Her's was unique and carefully designed. I heard that her father designed the house so I guess that's where Annabeth gets her artistic ability and mind. I press the door bell and could hear the ring coming out of the walls. Mr. Chase opened the door and welcomed me in. I said my hello's and went up to Annabeth's room. I knocked on the door first because you know girls with their privacy even if your her boyfriend its still a rule. She opened the door.
"Why are you so early?" She asked.
"I'm not early you said to meet me at 7 here." I smiled.
"What, then my clock is wrong?" She said. And we both checked our phones.
"Oh." I said awkwardly.
"If you want to sleep on my bed its fine I'll be in the bathroom curling my hair." She offered.
"Ok," I said.
I lied on her bed and tried to sleep. But I couldn't. I looked around her room. Organized and bright. I walked around and found a picture of us on her wall. I was short when I was little and Annabeth was taller then me. It was 5st grade. Well at least I grew. And I found another picture of us a little older we just started dating. Looking at the pictures flooded my head with memories. I apparently was looking at the picture really long because I didn't hear Annabeth walked in. I was startled.
"You scared me!" I said.
"What are you staring at?" Annabeth asked and I gave her the picture.
"Oh I remember that, doesn't little Percy look so cute." She said.
"Of course!" I said trying to sound snobby.
"So how do you think of my hair?" Annabeth asked.
"Its ok." I said trying to hold my smile.
"SEAWEED BRAIN!" Annabeth yelled.
"You look pretty." I said.
"Awww, thanks." She said.
"So should we get going?" I asked.
"Yep." She replied.
We both walked down the stairs. Annabeth and I said our goodbyes to her parents and we walked out to my car. I opened the door and she made a little smile. I climbed in and turn the engine on. My car wasn't that special it was just Gray Honda Civic. I pulled out of the driveway and we drove to school. The thought of Annabeth and I were already Seniors in High School shocked me. We dated for almost 2 years already. I had a crush on her since we were little. We were best friends since we were little and when I got older I started have feeling for her. I told her I liked her and she said it will never work out so I moved on. But after a while of me dating other girls Annabeth got jealous and tried getting into a fight with my girlfriend for not treating me right. I've never seen her so fierce when she really wants something. So she finally confessed that she had a crush on me and we started dating and we lasted. I parked in front of the school and Annabeth and I walked to class. It was a college prep class. Pretty boring but Annabeth and I sat next to each other so that brought the excitement up.
"Hello class, today we will be walking to the College Resource Center to look for colleges and majors you would like persue in." Ms. Pastry said.
The whole class walked out. Ms. Pastry was a mean little lady. Short and blonde hair. Old, cranky, and anything else that you can think of. Ms. Pastry would always yell at us for talking in class. Well it isn't our problem that your so boring.
"So do you know what college you are going to?" I asked.
"I was planning on going to the University of New York." She replied.
"What do they have there?" I asked.
"They have a great enginerring and architecture program there." She said.
Annabeth and I kept quiet till we arrived at the Library and Ms. Pastry showed us to the College and Resource Center. When I walked in I was so amazed by so many books were in there I guess they do have every college in here. Then I saw a lady sitting at here desk when she saw the class walk in she looked up. Her name was Ms. Flower.
"Hello as you can see we are in the College and Resource Center, I am Ms. Flower and I will be your adviser." Said Ms. Flower.
There was a little rumble in the crowd. Ms. Flower looked like a nice lady. Brown hair and had she had very soft welcoming eyes.
"On this side of the room is majors and on the other side is universities, so I'll let you guys look through the books for the rest of the class period." Explained Ms. Flower.
Annabeth and I went searching for the University of New York because Annabeth wanted to know more about the college. We found the book and went over to a table and sat down. Annabeth and I scrolled through the book and we found some interesting facts. They did have a good architecture program. I went over to the major section because I still haven't decided yet. I looked over at the life and environment section, I opened the book and went through it next to Annabeth. I found Marine biology very interesting, it is the study of life in the ocean. Also I liked Hydrology.
"Of course you would find those majors interesting, you're a water guy." Annabeth said with a little laugh.
" Of course I love water." I said.
"But can you even get into a good college." Annabeth said staring at me.
"Your not the only wise one, I got all A's in my years of high school." I said.
"Well lets see if your two majors are taught at the University of New York." Annabeth said.
Annabeth went over to the M and the H section. I noticed that she was looking it over and over again then I saw her eyes get wider.
So what did you think? A little cliffhanger! I'll try to update soon. Review plz.
