Okay. Here goes my first ever Percy Jackson fanfiction! (so please be nice :D)

I'm writing this because I read all the other stuff, and to be honest, some of it is pretty bad. So I heroically decided to step up and say "Why did the chicken cross the road?" Nah, not really. But I did think it was rubbish, and here I am at 1:24 am,on the 1st January (happy new year, 2016, have a fanfiction!) writing this.

I won't bore you by saying how different this is to others, and if I did, I would be lying. This is pretty much the same but more realistic. (so no Percy going up to some random dude and punching them, because he's just not like that!) Also, this is MAH STYLE! ;D

Percy surprises Annabeth at her school (wherever the heck that is) and you know the rest. Sluts, meanies, cookie monsters, blah blah blah. Based after the battle with Gaea

Disclaimer: If I owned Percy Jackson, I wouldn't be writing this now, would I?

Rate and review if you dare, and enjoy!

Chapter 1

Annabeth POV

Chase house, San Francisco, 6:45 am

I would like to state, in my defence, that the alarm clock had been smashed to a pulp BEFORE it committed the crime of waking me up. It had nothing to do with me throwing it against the wall when it wouldn't shut up. Blame the clock.

First day back to school, I thought as I propped myself up on my elbow. I glared at the drawn curtains for a few seconds and decided it was too dark to be up and proceeded to throw my face straight back onto my pillow. Just a few more minutes would be fine, right?

7:20 am

"ANNABETH!" my stepmother screamed at me from the kitchen. Although my stepmom and I had had a sketchy past, we had decided to do some mother-daughter bonding trips together and we had found that we had a lot in common. From there our relationship grew and we actually managed to get to a stage where she was acting as a mom should, and I was doing likewise (but as a daughter, obviously)

I checked the time. Or at least tried to before I remembered that my clock was half way across the room and in pieces. I then looked at the windows, which were much lighter than they had been when I last checked. Mumbling a profanity, I tumbled out of bed and threw on a fluffy dressing gown that Percy had gotten me a few months back.

Percy.

I had only seen my boyfriend two days ago, but to me it felt like an eternity. I missed him already. It was only a few weeks of school before I was meant to see him again, but he was known for grabbing Nico and shaddow-traveling over, so I might see him sooner.

I have no idea how, but every time I think of him, I can feel my cheeks flush as I imagine his beautiful green eyes, his messy black hair and his quirky lopsided grin that used to infuriate me but I now find endearing. Now was one of those times, as I bounced merrily to the breakfast of waffles that my stepmom had made for me.

"You're up early," she said sarcastically. "School starts in 30 minutes, and you have to get dressed and go! Do you think you can do that?"

"Easily," I replied. It's a 20 minute drive to school, so I had 10 minutes to get ready. Finishing my breakfast, I went to my room and just threw on whatever was at hand, plus my silver owl earrings. I grabbed my rucksack and ran down the stairs to the door, shouting "bye!" to whoever was listening. Jumping into my Porsche 911 (a gift from Athena for saving the world. A second time) I reversed out of the drive and made my way to school.

This is a beautiful line breaker

As the traffic was light, I got to school in under 15 minutes. Once there, I had parked in the school area and walked through the iron gates. While I was greeted by today's onslaught of catcalls and wolf whistles (and avoiding the soccer teams' latest attempts to hit on me) I went off to look for my mortal friends.

They were sitting where they always sit, under a large oak tree that's at the edge of a large turfed area. There are 6 of them In total:

Sam, a confident guy with spiky brown hair. He was good at everything except getting girls.

Joe, the jokester of the group. He could make anyone laugh at the exact time that they wouldn't want to, like if their grandma had just died. Again, terrible with girls.

Dylan was tall but shy, though very interesting if you could get him to open up.

Zara was pretty, and had a huge crush on Sam that everyone knew about except the man himself. She had chest length black hair, and was a hardcore vegetarian.

Katelyn hated her name, so everyone just called her Cat for short. She was always the most excitable and to this day, I had never seen her unhappy (excluding the times that she was called Katelyn)

Jess, the fashion obsessed one. She could take a perfectly nice dress and then rattle off 50 different ways in which it could be made into perfection.

I loved them all. We were very close, as far as friends go, and not even the insufferable bitches that this school provided for us could turn us against each other. Since I was the last to arrive, they were all already here. I sat down next to Zara as we started a conversation about nothing and everything, and it soon drifted to Sam asking, "Hey, have any of you guys seen the new kid?"

Oooh, I bet you can't guess who it is! ;D

The next chapter will be Percy POV, but skipping the "getting up" part. I'll do some backstory as to why he's transferring, and then cut to him standing at the gates.

Btw, I deliberately haven't made them get their timetables yet, coz I have no idea what to put. Help would be lovely. I'll update as soon as I can and get stuff rolling. I'm thinking about a girls sleepover in Annabeths' room while Percy holds a guys sleepover in his room. Thoughts?

Great,
