Chapter 1
Annabeth's POV
Hey, guys! I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena and Frederick Chase. They're the owners of the biggest company in New York that helps children with their education and talents. They're goal is to educate children in the most advanced technology there is. Now, the children are learning everything in 3D. They love it and other places in the world are buying our product (well, technically it's not our product directly. It's owner is the Trident & Techno, Corp.) Oh more details about me, okay? I'm 21, I have blonde hair, stormy grey eyes just like my mother's, and I'm pretty smart. I'm from Goode High and just graduated college. I love books, of course, and food. Ice cream, pizza, chocolates, cakes, you name it. But I'm also fit and have a good-looking body (or so the boys tell me)…
And there's one tinsy winsy detail…
I'm in love with the hottest and most gorgeous actor/singer…
And his name is…
PERCY JACKSON…
Age: 22
Birthday: August 18
Looks? Check.
Singing? Check.
Lips? Check.
Acting? Check.
Has crazy fan girls chasing him around? Check.
Girlfriend? Hope none.
In love? I don't know.
But to me, he's very special.
I'm here in my room, reading, as usual. Sometimes, I would be in the house's library looking for a new fiction book to read or an old one but like to reread it. Sometimes, I'd be out in the garden, in my favorite, secret, and 'only mine' tree house. It's nothing much. It's just an old tree house me and my dad made before the both of them were extremely busy because of work.
It's colored silver and the inside, a shade of sea green, just like Percy's eyes. On one side, there's my 'All about Percy Jackson' wall, with everything to know about him with pictures, posters, etc. On one side, it's the 'family corner' with me and my family's pictures, now and then. On the other side, there's my 'Annabeth's Architect Corner', where I lay out my designs or ideas because I'm an architect and I loved to be one since I was a kid. On the last side, there's my 'Music Corner'. Even though I may love algebra, books, and architecture, I do love to sing and play guitar, too. When I'm upset or just like to, I write my feelings through my songs. There are about 3 different guitars there. One is in a blue shade. Another is in stormy grey. The last one is in sea green. Yeah… I've got plenty of sea green here.
I just want one thing though…
To meet Percy Jackson for real…

"Miss Chase! Miss Chase!" a maid called. I frowned. Why do I always get pulled back to this world whenever I'm in the good part?! I thought.
"I'm here!" I called back. Moments later, a maid came running towards my room, out of breath.
"I'm sorry, Miss Chase but your parents are requesting your company at the dining hall." She said.
I nod. What do they want to talk about now? I hope it's worth listening… and they better wish that their distraction is really worth it because if it's not… let's not talk about it…
I stood up and fixed myself.
Then I left my room, still have my book in hand (it's Harry Potter, by the way) and made my way towards the dining hall. When I got there, I saw mom and dad seating there, face to face. When the doors opened, they turned their heads towards my direction and smiled.
"Hi, Annabeth, dear. We've got something to talk about." Mom said.
"Take a seat, Annie." Dad said after I kissed them both on the cheek. I nodded again.
They looked at me then at each other. Then mom spoke.
"Annie, dear… er… we're going to have a family reunion next week in Manhattan. And grandpa and grandma would like it if you visit them for a week. That means you're going there tomorrow." Mom said.
I stiffened. My grandparents and I get along together well but my cousin, Clarisse, is there also. And let's just say after my last visit I had to stay at home for a week because my hair's all cut short in weird lengths. Yep… Clarisse gave me a haircut and she's got not much talent with scissors.
"Er… okay? But is Clarisse going to be there?"
"Er… yes, dear. But she moved out a year ago. She's living in an apartment a few blocks away. And grandpa said that she visits at the weekends." Dad said.
I sighed in relief. I could avoid her then. I could say that I'm going to the mall or something…Thank goodness…I thought.
"Okay, mom, dad. Anything else?" I asked.
"Er… maybe… er… not now, I think. Maybe after the reunion. Yes…" mom said uncertainly.
I looked up from the book, I was reading silently. My mother never did that. She was never unsure of her choices. She would answer confidently not like this. She's a bit uncertain to answer me. Why?
"Why, mom? What is it?"
"Er… no, Annabeth. We'll tell you after the celebration, okay?" I just nod.
"Okay, Annie. Go pack, okay? Grandpa and grandma are waiting…" dad said.
I stood up then went back to my room.

Next day, First thing in the morning…
"You've got everything, dear?" mom said.
"Yes, mom."
"Okay. Say 'hi' to grandpa and grandma for me. See you!" she said, waving goodbye.
I'm on my way to Manhattan today. It's just a short trip, but mom and dad insisted that the chauffeur would just drive me there. I didn't want to argue much so I agreed instead. It's just early morning. I don't know why they decided I must go there this early but I just obeyed.
After a few hours, the familiar view of Manhattan could be seen.
"We're here, Miss Chase." Robert, the chauffeur said when we stopped in front of my grandparents' gate as it opened to let us through.
"Okay, thanks, Robert. Would d'you mind helping me with my bags?"
"Of course not, Miss Chase."
"Okay, thanks."
"There's my favorite granddaughter! So good to see you again!" a voice said from behind me.
I smiled then turned around. It's none other than my grandma Helen.
"Grandma! So good to see you, too! Where's grandpa?" I asked when I realized he's not here.
"In the garden. He likes to water the flowers by himself, remember?" she said.
I nod then looked at the familiar mansion ahead. Almost everyone in our family owns a mansion. My aunt and uncle and mom are so rich they made their parents a mansion as well. And it's magnificent. It's got a beautiful garden with a pool, and a tea room and a beautiful library.
When we went to the living room, I finally saw grandpa.
"Hi, grandpa. I miss you so much." I said, hugging him.
"Me, too, Annie. Have you eaten breakfast, yet?" I shook my head.
"Let's go eat." Grandma said.
Then they led me to the kitchen…

"How're you, Annie?" grandma asked.
"Fine. I've been sketching some designs… you know…" I replied.
We're in the dining hall, in comfortable silence, sometimes making small talk.
"Okay, dear. How's work so far?"
"Er… not much, yet. Mom said not to worry about it… that she'll take care of it."
"Of course. Being the daughter of one of the richest companies here, you'll really have a bright future. Anyway, what'll your plans today, Annie?" grandpa said, joining in the conversation.
"I don't know, grandpa. Maybe go to my room and arrange my things? And read a little bit more?" I said innocently.
"Oh no you don't, young lady. Today you're not allowed to get hold of books. Today, you're going outside." Grandma said.
"But where will I go?"
"The mall. Wherever teenagers or girls in your age go…"
I laugh. "Grandma, the places people my age go is for places that has job offers."
"Fine… Go strolling. You're not allowed here today. Go out. Make some friends. Meet a guy…" grandpa said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Why, grandpa? I mean, I know I'm old enough to have a boyfriend but the boys I see are SO not my type…" Percy's the only one for me…I thought.
They just laughed…
"Just do what people would do on a day like this, okay?" grandma said finally.
I sighed then nod.
That ended the conversation.

I'm now here in the park, sitting on the grass under a tree's shade, also holding my phone. My grandparents told me not to get a hold to any of the books I read. They didn't say I couldn't use my phone… Sometimes, I'm so happy for loopholes…
I'm reading ebook reader, reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'm in the part where Harry's name came out of the goblet.
When…
"Hey, Annabeth." I look up.
It's…
Hey guys! Hope you like chapter 1. I'm gonna make chapter 2 pronto! And please read my other story: Percabeth Love and Aphrodite's Curse.
Thanks!
