Hi. So this is my first time writing a fan fiction. Reading so many books gave me a lot of ideas, that I also created some of my own in my head, but I never got the courage to write it, and so I wrote this one. It is fine to criticized, like that I learned more and maybe I will become a better writer. I don't own the PJ series. I just wrote this for fun. It is similar to the PJ series but with a fun twist this time, it is about Annabeth and sorry guys we will only see her point of view, I don't believe we are going to see others like Percy's or Luke's . (Maybe). Anyways here enjoy.
Chapter 1: The old Hag and Luke.
Annabeth
It all Started with a simple book. . And then my least favorite English teacher tried to kill me. Yeah you might be wondering "What? How can an English teacher kill a pupil? Well you will be surprise now a days what the world is turning into, and that includes teachers trying to kill their pupil. (Literally. Have you seen the news lately?)Before I go any farther let me introduce myself. My name is Ana Beth Chase , and I am 13 years old, I got enrolled to a middle school name Yancy Academy, I been here for a year, and let's see if I last long in this school because me and school? Well we don't get along. I have been kicked out of every school that I attended. Why you may ask because something always happens that either involves the school burning, or something happening to students that hate me and leading the blame on me. That has been happening since I was seven years old, and I have been to every school in New York in Manhattan, I was lucky to have been accepted to this school, and that is because of my grades, I was the top student in Yancy Academy, everyone called me Nerd Chase, or Geeki Beth. Maybe it was because I will wear spectacles that are similar to what Harry Potter wears in the movies or books or maybe because I had braces on and my clothes were really dull normal looking clothes. My appearance? Not that great. I was taller than mostly every girl and every boy in this school, except my best friend Luke. I have Blonde curly hair that goes to my chin. I don't have that type of curly hair that curls like a princess, my hair is frizzy and bushy, so the style I normal put on my hair in is two braided ponytails, in order for my hair to stay stable. I never put it down. It used to be long all the way to my back, but it disturb me and I didn't really know what to do with it so I decided to cut it. I'm not considered to be ugly, but not pretty either, I guess I am average. The only thing that does not attract is me having silver braces, and Geeki Harry Potter style glasses. Before no one took me seriously, but then I began to glare at those who will bully me, and they would flinch away and step back uneasily. It all started when Luke by accident push to the floor, Luke Immediately apologize, but I was in no mood what so ever, so I glare at him. The look on Luke was priceless, he flinch and turned red in the face and seemed to look uneasily and he looked scared. What made them flinch you may ask? It was my eyes. My eyes are the one that don't belong in my appearance, they are startling grey like a rainy stormy night, and Luke tells me that they are quite intimidating and challenging. I accept them because I am not part of whole stereotypical being a blonde that has no brains. In fact I have brains, my eyes make me look intelligent,
Anyways, you see I was in my English class, bored out of my mind. My teacher Mrs. Tanski. (I had a teacher name like that, her and I? never got along) was lecturing the class about a book that I already read "A Tale of Two cities" She was handing copy of them, and telling the class that they have to read the book. The class groaned. Mrs. Tanski ignored the groaning, and passed the books to everyone. Then she came at my desk, and she give me a look that seem to say "I don't like you" The feeling is mutual hag. I thought. Before she set the book down, I told her "I already read the book" Mrs. Tanski raised her eyebrows. "Oh really"? She said sounding doubtful.
Yes. I said confidently and looking right at her eyes glaring at her. The English hag didn't waver. She simply smirked at me. "Let me ask you few questions then." She said challenging me. That old hag didn't scare me. I smiled, and challenged her back and look in to her eyes and said, "Go ahead" My stupid classmates shifted in their seats looking exited, waiting on what was going to happen next.
"What is the plot in the book?" The old hag asked.
"Well the book takes place in France, involving the poor and the rich hating each other because the rich will use all the taxes the belong to the poor, the poor found out and began to hate the rich people, and they began to behead the rich, and so The French Revolution started." I said.
The teacher didn't looked impress. I was disappointed because I thought I was going to score on that one. So I continued on, "In this book the Poor are the ones that are evil, and Dickenson makes the rich look like victims and innocent." I didn't realize the class was taking out their notebooks, and writing notes on what I was saying. For being too proud I ended up telling what happens in the story in the begging, middle and when I finished talking about how Sidney dies at the end, the old hag looked well pissed. "Mrs. Chase! I didn't tell you to talk about the whole book and what happens in the story, now look around you and look what problem you caused." I looked around at my surroundings and notice that students were snickering at me and they had open notebooks in front of them and they were notes on them. Too late I realized that everyone wrote when I talked about the book. I looked up at Mrs. Tanski and she was glaring at me, this time I cringed and lowered myself in the desk. The bell Rang. The class got up exited and eager to leave.
"Thanks Nerd. One boy said to me."
"Yeah thanks, now I won't have to read the book anymore!" Another girl said.
I sighed. Zero for Anna Beth, and a hundred points for the old hag. I thought
After the last student got out of class, I grabbed my stuff and tried to head to the door, but the old hag stopped me. "Mrs. Chase, you will have detention at three o clock sharp". I looked at that time it was two forty. I walked out of my English class, and went to my locker. Students were grabbing their coats, and were eager to leave the building. I open my locker and grabbed my stuff for detention.
"Hey Chase". A voice said,
I closed the locker and looked at voice who spoke to me. It was Luke. Luke grinned, and went away fast when he notice the look I saw on my face which was most likely an annoyed expression.
What's wrong"? Luke asked his blue eyes with concerned.
"The old Hag again" I replied. Luke nodded with understanding, he knew who the old hag was.
"What happen this time?"
"I got detention again".
Luke chucked. His Blue eyes twinkled. "Wow Chase I'll say that you two are going to become best friends, you always have detention together"
I glared." Shut It."
Luke grinned, and I admit my heart did this weird hop in my chest. I mean don't get me wrong Luke and I are not part of the Romance department, we are more like Hey-you-are-cool-and- I- can-tolerate-you department. I guess you can say Luke is considered to be my best friend, we knew each other since I was seven years old. Luke and I met when I almost hit him with a hammer. (Long Story.) At first Luke looked at me like I was crazy killer little girl, but then we became close and we became friends I admit I always had a crush on him since I was seven, but I don't know how to express feelings and how to talk about them. So I kept them to myself. Luke has no idea about the weird feelings that I have for him. My other friend Grover tells me that the feelings that Luke has for me are mutual, but I don't let it get to me, and also because I have a hard time believing that. So I decide to ignore it. Mostly all the girl in this school have a crush on him. Luke has that effect on girls. With his Sandy blonde hair that complement well with his blue eyes, his tan skin tone, and his tall frame, he has it for the ladies. I am tall too, except that he is taller than me by two inches, and older by a year.
Anyways, I was about to tell Luke to take the bus without me when the old hag passed by me. This time there was something different about the old hag. Normally her eyes being blue were now pitch black, and her blonde hair was now a weird dark hair color. She smiled. "Let's Go Anna Beth". That was weird. Mrs. Tanski never ever called me by my first name, only "Ms. Chase. I didn't have time to consider because I knew different assumptions will come in my head. On the other hand, I felt Luke stiffened. I looked at him curiously, Luke's eyes were narrowed, and his lips were pinned into a straight line. It kind of scared me, it looked like to me that Luke wanted to kill Mrs. Tanski. I looked at the time it was 2:51, then I looked at the old hag, "Is not the time yet, I'll be there in five." The old hag smiled (weird) and walked way.
As soon as the old hag walked away, Luke came in front of me which startled me and grabbed my arm. "Ana Beth don't go to detention with her" I looked at Luke he seemed frantic, and serious.
"What, so I can earned another detention with her? Yeah. No thanks." I said.
"I'm serious. Something about her bothers me"
I grinned. "Of course, there is always something about her that bothers me" Luke looked desperate. I looked at the time, 2:56. "I got to go. You go ahead without me." I started to walk away but Luke stopped me. "Wait". He said.
I tuned around. "Yes." Luke took a step towards me, which startled me again. And he did something surprising, he undid my two braids, and let my hair fall down. He took another step forward and touch the left side of my hair. And for the first time ever I blushed. Luke took a step back and said, "There that should do it". I was flustered, Luke was surprising me a lot today.
"Alright go to detention, I have to talk to Mr. Bummer either way." Luke said.
I was surprise. "Our Greek Teacher?" Luke nodded, and he turned to walk away, but before he did he said, "You should put your hair down more often it looks….. Nice" And like that he walked away. I stared at him dumbfounded. I shook my head and went to Detention.
How's that? Yeah you can guess where this is going right? The old hag? Bad news. But doesn't this chapter sound Familiar? Luke maybe Mrs. Dodds and Percy Jackson? :D (Hint, Hint) . And the little encounter between Luke and Annabeth? (Hehehehe) Don't worry Percy will pop out soon, I'm not positive if I am going do a Percabeth or Lukabeth. (lol) but I will tell you this there will be a love triangle involved. (a lot of love triangles actually, Hmmmm…. maybe a love square?) Anyways Happy Holidays!
