Love Me Like You Do

PROLOGUE

An excerpt from Annabeth Chase's diary:

I still remember how I met Percy. How could I ever forget? It was September 1st, five years from now. I was about to start my journey from Hogwarts for the first time. My mom, Athena Chase, had come to see me off at platform 9 3/4. We had just crossed the barrier when someone's trolley collided with mine, making me fall. I looked up glaring. But the face I saw made my scowl disappear replaced by an astonished expression.

The boy who had collided with me had raven black hair and startlingly beautiful sea-green eyes. His hair was tousled with tufts sticking out at random places. I was on the verge of hyper ventilating. He was grinning apologetically down to me. He stretched out a hand and said sheepishly, "Sorry, I should really pay attention to where I'm heading."

I can't help grinning back and say, "No harm done, it's not a problem at all." I took the hand he offered and he pulled me up.

"So, what's your name?" he asked me.

"Chase, Annabeth Chase. And you?"

"Bond, James Bond. Pleased to meet you," he said, his eyes twinkling mischievously,

"Hey, stop fooling with me," I said laughing. I had barely known him for five minutes yet he made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, like we had known each other for years.

He laughed too and said, "OK no fooling with you, my name's Perseus Jackson. But don't call me Perseus. I hate being called as that. Call me Percy."

My mom had stood silent throughout this conversation. Now, she couldn't stay quiet any longer. She cleared her throat and said, "Annabeth, dear we should get moving. The train will leave in ten minutes." She stared at Percy, analysing him. She seemed to think he was alright because she gave a tight little smile a second later.

"Right mom, let's go. Meet you on the train, Percy," I said, glancing back at Percy, waving him goodbye.

Fifteen minutes later, after the train had started on its long journey to Hogwarts (I knew this through my cousin, Malcolm), I hear the door of my compartment sliding open. I looked up to see who it was. I had found a compartment which was thankfully empty. I was not one to socialize with people. I was reading A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot, when this happened.

Percy was standing at the doorway accompanied by a girl with choppy black hair and murderous, thunderous blue eyes who looked a year elder than me, a boy who looked our age with blond hair and blue eyes which matched the girl's but without the 'murderous' look and a boy with shaggy, midnight black hair and matching eyes.

"Hey Annabeth," said Percy warmly. "Mind if we join you? Everywhere else is full"

"Sure." I told him, eyeing his companions. "Not to be rude, but who are they?"

The girl snorted, "I like her attitude. I think we'll get along real good. I'm Thalia Grace, Kelp Head here is my cousin." She says indicating Percy. Percy retaliated to the nickname by saying, "Pinecone Face."

Thalia looked like she's going to throw back another nickname at his face and start a full on fight, when the blond boy interrupted, "Shut it, Thalia," he said. Turning to me he said, "Ignore my sister. She's in second year but she still acts like a kid. I'm Jason Grace, by the way, her brother."

"I'm Nico di Angelo," said the black-haired boy, from the shadows, very quietly, making everyone jump. "Nico, don't do that, will you? It gives me the creeps," complained Thalia.

"It's nice meeting all of you," I told them, grinning broadly. I never thought I'd make friends so fast at Hogwarts. "I think we're going to be great friends."

And we are. To this day, from five years, we are and have been. Sure, we all fight once in a while but we are inseparable. Especially, Percy and me. But I want Percy to be more than best friends to me. Why, you ask? Because I am in love with Percy Jackson. But on the other hand, I'm afraid that he will not return my feelings and I will end up without a best friend. Sometimes, Percy also acts as if he likes me. He stares at me when I'm not looking and turns away, blushing. He holds my hand while we are walking in the grounds and last year he kissed me on the cheek. So I wonder, is Percy in love with me too? This year I'm determined to find out.

How was it? Please review. It will help me improve the story line and get more ideas. Got a light bulb for improving the story? Please include it in the review. I know there's not much to review, after all it's the prologue, but first impressions are the most important. Also, what do you think about the title? Is it good for this story, or should I change it? If you have any suggestions which is better than "Love me like you do", again, write it in the review. I'll be updating the next chapter real soon, as I'm on vacation (Dasara holidays. In India we have it each year in October , Dasara's an awesome ten-day Hindu festival, so we get about two weeks' time holidays. Want to know more about Dasara, PM me or Google it) ~ Aisha
