Hi my name is Annabeth. If you saw me you probably think I'm just another basic simple girl, and I am. The only thing that makes me different from everyone is that I don't love. Most people think I'm doing it for attention, for people to pity me and be friends with me. Or they just think I'm very emo. Both of those aren't true, they don't know what happened.

When I was just 5 years old, both of my parents passed away because of a car accident due to weather conditions. Not only did I lose my parents I lost my soon to be brother. At that time my mom was pregnant and when she died he died with her.

So after that I was put in an orphanage, which I hated. I learned how to take care of myself at a very young age. I also learned to be independent and not rely on others. I didn't talk to many of the other kids there, they seemed as frighten of me as I am of them.

I remember a kid walked up to me and said "your eyes are scary". Remember I was only 5 at the time, and I was already scaring people. He wasn't wrong though, my eyes are grey and lifeless and when I'm angry you can literally see them get all stormy.

When my parents passed, I was so sad I can't describe the pain I went. So many emotions went through me that day anger, sadness, guilt. Why was I feeling guilt? It was because they were coming to pick me up from soccer practice, I begged them that day to let me go even though it looked stormy outside. Reluctantly they let me go. By the time soccer practice was done it started to rain... hard. My coach told us to go inside and wait for our parents to pick us up.

I remember her telling me that my parents car slipped because of the rain and crashed into another car. I didn't exactly understand I thought they were going to be okay. I was so wrong.

To this day I still blame myself for wanting to go. Wanting and begging to go to soccer practice. If only I stayed home that day then this would've never happened. Since that day I never opened myself or told anyone what I'm going through. They wouldn't understand. They never do.

I promised myself I would never have to go through that pain every again. I locked everyone out, but then when I was 15 I fell in "love". We dated for 5 months. It was going well, that's what I thought.

Till I saw him making out with someone behind the school. The pain I went through, it rushed through be again. Hurt, betrayal, anger was all I felt. I dumped his sorry ass and never saw him again. That's when I promised myself I would never EVER go through this pain again or love anyone ever again.

I know it seems like a bad decision and you're supposed to "live life to the fullest" or "cherish the one you love" or even "pain is temporary" but this pain is forever it's never going to leave. I'd rather live life without loving ,then live life with a heart heavy with pain. And now I realize love is the biggest weakness of all. But hey it's my decision you do you, right?

At that time I got a new foster home, and it was kinda far so that means I had to go to a new school which was good for me because I never had to see him again plus I didn't have much friends so I wasn't leaving much back there.

My new foster mom is named Athena. She's nice but strict and very smart, she tries to be sweet but I push her away like everyone. My foster dad is named Fredrick. He's also very nice but like everyone I push them away. It's very hard to not love them but I manage, I definitely don't love them but I don't despise them which is good enough for them and me.

"Wake up honey, you don't want to be late for your first day of school!" yelled Athena. I'm going in my sophomore year meaning I am 16 now. I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed. I didn't put on any makeup because 1. I don't need to look good for a bunch of assholes and 2. I don't need to look good for myself.

"Would you like me to drive you today sweetheart?" Athena asked.

I shook my head "no I'm good Athena, I can walk myself"

She grimaced. She hates me calling her Athena she always wanted me to call her "mom" but I hate calling her mom, so Athena it is. I grabbed a granola bar and started to walk out the door.

"Bye Athena, tell Fredrick I said bye!"

"Bye sweetheart, have fun today okay? Make new friends, that's all I'm asking for" Athena replied.

I rolled my eyes "I'll do the best I can" I said making her smile even though I have no intention in making any new friends.

I know I seem ungrateful and that they seem to really care about me, but remember they are just fostering me so when I do get adopted I don't want to be sad when I leave. Again I don't need any more pain.

By the time I arrived at Goode high school all the kids arrived and were hanging out front. Not any kids the "popular kids". My least favorite people in the world. They were all looking at me some were even glaring and they don't even know me. You see why I don't like them?

I stepped into the office, and saw a lady sitting in the front with a tired expression.

"Hi, how can I help you?" she said with no enthusiasm but I don't blame her, if I had to stay her with all this kids I would probably go mad.

"I'm new to this school, my name is Annabeth Chase"

She started to type in the computer, and printed out my schedule.

"Her you go, I advise you to find someone to help you around the school," she said tiredly.

"Okay I will," I replied, but I'm definitely going to avoid everyone at all costs.

I looked at my 1st period, Greek Mythology. "Okay not bad" I thought trying to positive which is quite hard.

I wandered around for 5 minutes being too stubborn to ask for help. Finally I found the class, smiling to myself because I knew I would find it on my own.

When I walked in, I'm not exaggerating every single pair of eyes looked at me. They must not have a lot of new students, but then again I transferred in the middle of the school year.

I picked a random spot and sat there. I heard some gasps and whispers, I don't know why though it's just a seat but I didn't care.

"Hello young lady would you like to introduce yourself?" the teacher asked. I shook my head.

He looked shocked for a second but then said "Well I'm Mr. Brunner and seems like you are…" he looked at his list of students. "And you are Annabeth, what a pretty name".

I nodded and looked back down. I could feel the glare of the other kids I could hear them whispering. "She's trying too hard…" "Pfftt she thinks she's so cool" "I bet she's a loser". I didn't listen to them, I'm used to the all the comments.

Suddenly someone burst through the door.

"Late again, Mr. Jackson that's twice this week," Mr. Brunner said crossing his arms.

He smiled sheepishly and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Sorry Mr. Brunner, my alarm clock didn't go off" He replied.

"More excuses is all I hear, take a seat Jackson".

My eyes followed this Jackson guy, and saw that he was walking towards me.

"Um excuse me that's my seat," he said firmly.

I rolled my eyes.

"Just sit next to me then," I replied annoyed. I heard people gasp. Seriously, what's there problem?

He seemed annoyed but sat next to me anyways. I glanced at him and knew immediately that he was one of the "popular" kids. He was definitely attractive with messy dark hair, and sea-green eyes.

But Annabeth didn't care how attractive he was, it's not like she liked him. In fact she hasn't loved anyone in so long, it's almost like she doesn't even know how to love. "I'm basically a robot" Annabeth thought.

But Annabeth remembered its good not to love, she doesn't need to be reminded of the pain.

"Annabeth… Annabeth!" Mr. Brunner called. Annabeth snapped back to reality.

"Yes, Mr. Brunner" Annabeth replied.

"I asked you who was your favorite god or goddess"

"Um… I don't know"

Annabeth thought for awhile.

"I guess… Athena?" Annabeth answered.

"And why is she your favorite?" Mr. Brunner asked.

"Because she's smart and independent and doesn't need anyone," Annabeth replied. Also because Athena is her foster moms name but she decided no one needed to know. Athena (the goddess) kinda reminds her of herself. Independent, doesn't need anyone… Yup that's Annabeth.

"That's a good answer," Mr. Brunner said continuing asking other students. Annabeth continued to zone out, but after awhile she felt a gaze on her. She turned to her right and saw Percy staring at her.

"What" Annabeth said harshly.

Percy seemed to snap out of it and blushed.

"Nothing, sorry" He replied quickly and turned back to his work.

Annabeth rolled her eyes. If you haven't noticed Annabeth gets annoyed quickly.

Brrriiinnngggggggg! The bell went off and students were pushing each other to get to the door. Annabeth continued to find her next period and when she did again all eyes were on her, waiting for her to make her next move.

She sat down and could feel everyones gaze on her. "Jeez what's everyone's problem here" She thought. The bell went off and at the same time a student went bursting in.

"I'm not late! I am not late!" Percy exclaimed making the class laugh. Annabeth rolled her eyes, she has another class with him?! Whatever she can manage. He started making his way to the back of room… where Annabeth sat.

There was an empty seat next to her, she chose this seat to be alone. Alone. Not with him. Alone.

"Hey can I sit here?" Percy asked pointing to the empty seat next to her.

"Where do you usually sit?" Annabeth asked annoyed.

"I usually sit where the new girl sits?" He said chuckling. It took awhile for Annabeth to realize that he was talking about her.

"I need to find better seats" Annabeth thought. Annabeth huffed and took her backpack off the chair so he could sit.

"This is going to be a long class" Annabeth mumbled.
