Summery:
I had known her from the beginning of kindergarten. Now we stand side by side in High School, still best friends. But I often see her as something more. (Modern AU no gods)
But I often wish for something more
Chapter 1
I hugged my mom Sally one last time. I stared into the open classroom. "Mommy, why do I have to go back to school?" I asked, sobbing. "Honey, do you want to grow up to be big and smart like your daddy?" My mom asked. I nodded into her chest. "Daddy went to school. Mom went to school. You need to go too, Percy. I know you can do it." She said soothingly. I let go of her and walked into the classroom. She smiled sadly at me and walked away. I sat down on the carpet and carried a bin of Building Blocks over to where I was sitting. I started making columns of blocks to create a building. I looked up and found a girl staring at my creation. She had curly Blonde hair and gray eyes. Wait, grey eyes? I had never seen anyone with gray eyes. I stared at her for what seems like seconds. She turned her head towards me and I quickly turned to look at the window. She started walking over to me and sat down next to me. "Hi." She said. I turned to look at her. "Hi." I said. She looked at my building and frowned. She picked a block off of the top and moved it to the side. "Why'd you move that?" I asked, slightly aggravated. "If you kept that block there, the building would have fallen down." She said. "Oh, Thanks. And my name is Percy." I said. She gave me a warm smile. "My name is Annabeth." She said. I put the blocks gently back in their containers and carried them back to the shelf. Our teacher, Mrs. Hera, called us to the carpet. When I got back, I sat down next to Annabeth. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought…

I crept after Nico. 8th Period had just ended, and Nico was on his way to ask Annabeth out. Earlier during lunch, he'd poured all his feelings out about her in front of me. He'd explained how he liked her and was going to ask her out after school. I nodded about everything he had said. Inside, something didn't feel right. I had to be there instead of Nico. Wait, what? Was I jealous? I couldn't be. I had no feelings for her. But why did I feel that pang of jealousy? I thought to myself for a second. Did I…. Like her? I mentally scolded myself for thinking that way. I'd never be able to make Annabeth mine, regardless of my feelings for her. I kept on following them until I saw Annabeth. For the first time, she really struck me as beautiful. Too bad she'll be with Nico. I watched in horror as Nico said those six words- "Will you go out with me?" Then something even more surprising happened. Nico closed his eyes and leaned in. Annabeth did the same. I felt tears streaming down my cheeks as I watched them kiss. I didn't know what to do- so I ran. I ran half a mile back to my house. I knocked on the door and tried to dry the tears from my eyes. My mom, Sally Jackson, opened it. "Percy! Are you alright? You were supposed to come home on the bus!" She exclaimed. "Yeah, they just canceled buses today. Technical issues of something." I lied. I walked past my mom and went into the kitchen to make a sandwich. I took my snack up to my room and finished my homework. I played down in my bed and turned on the TV. After about 10 minutes of CSI, I drifted off.

Most kids are typically excited about Friday nights. Maybe they'd hang out with friends, watch a movie, play videogames, or go out on a date. Who am I kidding? I don't even have a girlfriend. But, however, Annabeth had agreed to go to a movie with me. She had just gotten over her ex, Nico, which whom I secretly despised. My friend Rachel, who had just became Luke's girlfriend, had went to California for the week, meaning I couldn't hang out with her. Ever sense Nico and her had broken up, Annabeth hated Rachel for some reason. I sprayed water over my hair and made an effort to comb it. Then I put on a Yankees T-shirt (Hey, I'm from New York!) and grabbed my car keys and walked out to my black Porsche Turbo convertible. I really loved my car. My dad had given it to me on my 16th birthday. I never really saw him, he was always on business trips and stuff like that. I got in and drove towards Annabeth house. I put the hard top up and got out. I quickly adjusted my shirt and hair, and walked towards there door. I knocked twice and Annabeth's step mom came to answer it. "Oh, hi Percy! Annabeth will be out soon. Come on in." She said nicely. I walked past her and leaned against the wall. "Annabeth, Percy's here!" She shouted. I saw her walk out of the kitchen, and she looked amazing. "Yeah, I'm human, you know." She said. Um, okay? I believe I've already had my random fa- oh. Next time I need to less obviously check her out. She grabbed my hand and led me outside. "So, are we walking?" She asked. I looked at her, confused. Oh, right. She hadn't seen my Porsche yet. I grabbed her hand and walked over to my car. "Woah. Is this yours?" She asked. I grinned at her and unlocked it. "Hop in." I said. She climbed in, and but her seatbelt on. I retracted the top and revved the engine. "Showoff." She said. I smiled and drove off towards the movie theater.
A/N: Cool beginning, right? I'm sorry for making Annabeth and Nico a thing, but I had to because of the plot. Please review/fav!
