I'm not really sure what to say in this Author's Note... Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or anything of that nature! (A sad fact of life...)

*This story is just something I came up with while riding on my bus, I am not trying to copy anyone at all- just wanted to say that in case there are other stories similar to this one!

Chapter 1

As she walked into the nearest Starbucks she could find Annabeth reminisced about her day. Nothing really special happened, but really when did anything special ever happen at all? Her life consisted of work and nothing else, and most of the time she was fine with that.

She had had a long day at work struggling to fight her way to the top, only to get pushed down again by her co-workers. All she wanted to do was curl up in the corner of the shop with a caramel latte and forget her troubles. As she walked in she noticed that everyone seemed to have someone to talk to, someone who was their friend. She didn't have time for friends anymore, and when she did she felt so disconnected. They all had their significant others and in some cases even spouses to deal with- and she had no one. She didn't usually long for anyone but walking into the Starbucks noticing all of the happy couples she felt so small, so weak compared to the rest of the world.

As she walked toward one of the empty tables she knocked her shoe on a table- typical Annabeth, the klutz. At the table sat two boys; they looked around Annabeth's age, 24. One of the guys looked up as if to apologize, but something stopped him. It was her. She looked into his eyes, ready to say sorry as well- but she couldn't manage any sound. Not that she went looking around for attractive people or rated people that she looked at but, she definitely was attracted to him. His sea green eyes made her stomach woosh and swirl in ways it had never before.

"Annabeth, stop it," she thought to herself. She did not understand how she could have a reaction to this guy she had only made eye contact with. The exchange only lasted for a brief couple of seconds, but it could have been an eternity for all she knew. She slowly walked to her seat after mumbling some semblance of an apology, blushing profusely.

Annabeth sat there for quite some time, just looking out the windows and relaxing, while also surfing the internet. She was trying to waste time, not wanting to go back home to an empty apartment. She tried to spend as little time as possible as she could there because it just reminded her about her loneliness and longing.

The guys were both sitting there by the time she was ready to go, and as she walked out she made more eye contact again with this attractive man. She caught his name from his friend... "Percy..."

Percy. She could not get this guy out of her mind, and she didn't know why. For all she knew he could be a horrible person, but something told her this was false. "

Those eyes could not be cruel," she thought. They seemed to be so deep, like they actually were actually the sea itself. She would probably never see this boy again, and she tried not to care about that fact because again, they only had seen eachother once- but this guy felt special. She felt like she had met him before, known him somehow, though she knew she couldn't have. Also, she would have remembered him. Dark, raven colored hair and those sea green eyes were not something easily forgotten, heck, she couldn't stop thinking about him as she walked back to her apartment and got ready for bed.

She fell asleep with his green eyes embeded into her brain, and for once she was actually happy. Not the fake happy where she would convince herself something good was going on, but real happiness should couldn't shake away.

That's kind of a weird place to end at, but I know where the next chapter will be going and if I'm lucky I should be able to post very soon! Hope you enjoyed and constructive criticism is always welcomed. :) Sorry this is really short by the way- they should get longer after I get into the story!
