Something was wrong with me. I shouldn't have been able to always see color. Since birth, I wasn't like most. The world wasn't all black and white. Some people break the curse at a young age, but never at the beginning of life. It simply isn't possible.
/But here I am, I defy all rules.

I learned in kindergarten that I was abnormal. We did a short unit on it. Until then I thought my ability was normal. My 5-year-old self made the mistake of asking the teacher why she was lying, I could always see color. That's when the rumors began.
/At first it was just jealous states but as the years went on it slowly grew to bullying. I was accused of loving myself so much that I was my own stepmother,Susan,found out and almost kicked me out of the house.

Instead I ran. When I was 8, I crept out of the house at midnight. I was alone for a couple days untilI found Thalia. The 8-year-old girlhad been kicked out when her parents found she could already see color, her soulmate was already found. The worst
/part was she didn't know who it was.

A week later my dad found Thalia and I, hiding in a dark alley. He forced me to come home, leave Thalia. Her family refused to accept her so I daily brought her food to eat. We became best friends and for her 10th birthday we bought matching necklaces.
/I haven't taken it off.

After 3 years visiting herbecame a routine. Everything began to seem perfect untilI was left alone again. I had to move toNew Yorkforever. It's been 5 years and I still haven't seen her.

"Annabelle, honey, come down for breakfast." Susan's high pitched voice squeaked. While she seems sweet, Susan is a devil in disguise. She insist on calling me Annabelle just to annoy me. She claims that she calls me that because if I was her real daughter,
/I wouldn't have been name Annabeth but I can see through her lies.

To avoid speaking, I ran down the stairs andgrabbed an apple. Moments later,I was leaving the house, in my new silver Tesla. After a couple minutes I parked out side Piper's mansion.

Hey Pipes! I'm outside the house and ready to go. Come out soon so we can get to Starbucks!-A

A choppy, brown haired girlentered the passager seat and I quickly began to drive. If we were going to get coffee before school I would have to go slightly above the speed limit.

"Hey Annie! Will you please help me do my make-up. My mom is out of town so I don't want to accidentally look like a clown." Piper is one for the only people to know my secret. Ever since finding out, I'm her backup makeup artist. When Aphrodite, her
/mom, is in town she helps, but often she is on vacation. Piper still can't see color, not even brown. That's why I help, so she doesn't accidentally use blue eyeshadow, pink eyeliner, and green blush. Unfortunately, it's happened before.

I sighed and answered, "When we get to school. I can't function without Starbucks." 10 minutes later, in the school parking lot, she handed me her cosmetic bag.I put down my coffee and began to help her.

After 15 minutes, a flood of students passed by. Most were sprinting. That was our cue to leave the car and pray to all the gods that we weren't late again.

Water never fails to take my breath I can't see it, I've heard rumors that it is crystal blue. I would give anything to see that but fate won't allow it yet. Not until I meet my soulmate.

"Good practice guys now go to the locker room and get ready for first period." Coach Hedge screamed. Daily we had requiredswim practice in the morning and optional practice in the afternoon. After the morning practice we had 5 minutes to be in first
/period, those are the most stressful minutes of my life. The joysof high school.
