Chapter 1: The Boy With The Green Eyes
Annabeth yawned as she crawled out of bed. It was a bright and sunny afternoon outside, and the sun was blazing through the windows of her dormitory at New York University. She went into the washroom, splashed her face, took a quick shower and got dressed.
She whipped her planner off of the top of her desk, not caring if she made noise since Rachel, her roommate always slept through anything. Annabeth already knew what she had planned for today, but she felt the need to check again anyway. Classes from 8-12, lunch at 12:05 with Luke, her boyfriend, at the Burger Joint on campus, classes from 1-3 and then a meeting for the NYU Times, she was the editor, at 3:45.
She grabbed her school tote, filled with textbooks, reading books, and her iPhone 4S as she shoved in her planner, when she noticed it was 7:35 and Rachel had slept through her 6:30 alarm. Again.
"RACHEL! WAKE UP! IT'S 7:35!" she shouted. Shouting was the only way to wake her up. And all of a sudden, Rachel's head jerked upwards. She took one look in the mirror and shrieked at the sight of her mangled and more than normally frizzy hair and ran out of bed and into the washroom.
"Now that that's over with," Annabeth muttered to herself, and walked out of her room, down the elevator, and out the door where Luke was waiting for her, holding her favourite drink, an Ice Capp with a hint of mint and chocolate. He smiled at her as she took the drink from his hands, and gently kissed his cheek.
"Thanks Luke," she said, glad for the caffeine this early in the morning. And glad for him. Even though they were only 22, they had such a healthy relationship that Annabeth thought this would be her fairy-tale ending. She and Luke could get married on the beach, 2 kids, Thalia Alexi Castellan and Charlie Andrew Castellan. They would live in a -
Annabeth shook her head from the thought. Daydreaming before she went to sleep was one thing, but right in front of him, she probably looked really dazed. And stupid. And that was one thing Annabeth was not. Stupid. She had never gotten less than an A- in school and had been on Honor Roll every year. And looking stupid in front of Luke would make her go crazy later.
"You okay, baby?" Luke asked Annabeth, who probably looked even more dazed than before.
"Yup, I'm completely fine. Just... Thinking about that writing assignment Mr. Collins assigned last week, I hope I did okay," she lied. She knew she had aced that assignment left, right and center.
Annabeth walked into class completely focused, until she saw a boy standing with the teacher. He was wearing a simple leather jacket and ripped jeans, and he had stunning jet black hair and bright green eyes.
The bell rung for class to start and Annabeth took a seat next to Luke, but there was an empty one beside her.
"Attention, class. We have a new student. His name is Percy Jackson, and he will be studying with us from now on. Annabeth, do you mind showing him around? He's got the same schedule as you, except, he's got marine biology instead of architecture. It's just opposite the architecture wing, so I assume it will be no problem," Mr. Brunner said, and the entire time, since the moment Percy had caught Annabeth's eye when Mr. Brunner started, Annabeth found that she had been staring back.
"Okay! Yep, works for me," Annabeth responded, her eyes still on the new boy, Percy.
Percy came to sit beside Annabeth, but the two of them still hadn't stopped staring at the other, and Annabeth couldn't find a reason why she thought she knew this boy, when she was 100% sure she didn't.
