Ok so this story really starts at the end of the first chapter, I just wanted to set up a background for annabeth in this chapter. If I get a few reviews I'll write another chapter and the plot line will be in there more :)

Disclamer: as much as I wish I owned Percy, I do not, nor will I ever.

Quote of the chapter: "If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself."

Once upon a time in a magical kingdom life a beautiful princess and a handsome prince… hey a girl can dream right? Ok so maybe I don't live in a magical kingdom. And maybe I'm not beautiful. And so I guess I don't have a handsome prince. But I really think every girl is entitled to dream that her life is a fairytale. So in my dreams my blonde hair is in ringlets not a frizz ball. And my boyfriend has blonde hair and blue eyes, and looks remarkably like the captain of my school's football team, Luke. And then it's the end of senior year and we are both going to college and he is so in love with me that he promises to follow me where ever I end up going and we move to san Francisco and live happily ever after! Unfortunately as of right now, I'm still a junior desperate to get through A.P.s just waiting for summer, and Luke is dating my best friend Thalia Grace. Still think I can get my fairytale? Yeah that's what I thought.

The obnoxious voice of yet another one hit wonder blared through my alarm clock waking me up and pulling me out of my fairytale, as it did every morning. I rolled out of bed after about 5 minutes of pretending it was a Saturday and trying to fall back to sleep. My room is directly across from my little brothers room so I have to be quiet in the morning or ill wake them, and being them, they have a tendency to flush the toilet right after I get into the hot shower. And then of course I get blamed when I tie them to their beds and they start to cry. So I tiptoe to my closet and grab my blue flannel button up and a cami and my skinny jeans that are so over wore they actually have a hole at the knee, I've decided I don't care, when they get a whole on the butt, then maybe I'll consider getting rid of them. I grab a towel out of the linen closet and go shower. When I've finished drying my hair I check it in the mirror, yup, as suspected it's another rats nest day so I pull it into a loose pony tail and move on with my life. I quick wash my face in the desperate attempt to get rid of my few stubborn pimples that have yet to be zapped away by Clearasil. I grab my converse from the side of my bed and then head to my brothers room. I shake them awake quickly, I'm running late as it is, and then go down stairs for a hearty breakfast of a bag of cheerios to eat on the bus and run out the door.

I make it to homeroom with extra time because I can't stand being late to class. I've been at school for 3 years and I've never gotten a detention, and I didn't plan to get one for something as stupid as late to class. We are already into fourth quarter so I've become friends with the girl I sit next to, her name is Rachel. She is really into art and stuff and has bright red hair, her parents are rich but she doesn't act it so we clicked really fast. She came to homeroom a few minutes later, smiled at me and dropped her bag next to us.

"Hey babe!, ready for another week of living hell?" yeah school wasn't exactly the highlight of Rachel's life.

"Always babe." I smile back, until I see them walk in at least. Great, Drew isn't late this morning, just what I need. She and her posse make their way over to me and part their lips and a valiant attempt at a smile, unfortunately for them it didn't go so well.

"Hey Anna, love the hair!" Drew says, then flips her own perfectly styled glossy hair. I try to smile back just as evilly but her comment got to me and from the look on her face she knows it.

"Yeah it was last minute, some of us have a life outside of our appearance… oh darn, you wouldn't know about that would you?" she huffs at a loss for words, most people don't stand up to her, and stalks away to her table with the rest of her hookers… I mean friends.

Finally the day was over! I survived yet another Monday, and today Thalia was coming over to study for trig with me. I waited by her locker until I saw her down the hall. And she wasn't alone. Luke had his arm around her waist; she was looking up into his eyes like he was the sun to her earth. God it was sickening! They have only been dating 2 months and they spend every waking moment with each other.

"Hey thals!" I plaster on my fake smile as they draw nearer.

She turns her head away from Luke to see me and smiles brightly, "hey Annabeth, let me just pack my bag and then we get to get the hell out of here!" she pulls her lock off her locker and packs her bag quickly, turning to Luke and kissing him for way longer than I needed to see and tells him she will talk to him tonight.

We link arms and head for the door laughing at Luke's face after their kiss and make it out the front doors. That's when the car screeches to a stop in front of us. And the 3 men get out. And we are picked up and thrown into the vehicle as it speeds away. We didn't even get a chance to scream.

And there it is! Chapter 1, what did we think? If I get a few reviews and continue Percy will be in the next chapter! Ok just let me know if you think I should keep going, make a full story or just a few chapters? And constructive criticism is always welcome J
