Hi everyone! I have always been a fan of fanfics so I decided to write one of my own. So here it is! My first fanfic ever! Thanks for clicking on my story and giving me a chance. Now on with the story...

-Girl Who Believes

Percy's POV

"You're such a Seaweed Brain!" laughed Annabeth, giving her best friend, Percy, a slight bump on the shoulders playfully, which he returned with a lopsided, goofy grin. "I will always be your Seaweed Brain, Wise Girl." Percy replied, sincerity and honesty ringing in every single word. Annabeth looked up, right into Percy's sea green eyes and said, in a much softer tone, "Forever."

"Sir, would you like anything?" That immediately snapped me out of the flashback. Not another one. I've been having all those flashbacks since last month, flashbacks of me…and her. I shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts, and ordered a glass of ice water from the air stewardess. I was on an airplane heading to California from New York. New York. I use to love that place, but now, it's just filled with painful memories that I really want to erase. That was why I left, to forget everything and start anew in California.

And oh, silly me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Percy Jackson and I'm twelve. My mom, Sally, divorced my dad when I was a few months old and she raised me up single-handedly in New York- well that was until she remarried Paul, an English teacher in a high school. He was a nice guy and I liked him, and trusted him to take good care of my mom when I'm gone. And then there's my dad, Poseidon, who lives in a huge mansion by the seaside in California. Yeah, my dad is rich, filthy rich. He owns a huge shipping company and makes lots and lots of money. But I didn't tell that to anyone, except for…for Annabeth.

Annabeth. That name brought back many memories, both sad and happy. You see, Annabeth and I used to be best friends. But keyword-were. We were no longer friends, much less best friends.

We first met each other in elementary school and we immediately hit it off. Back then, she was this smart, kind and pretty girl. She did very well in school, always getting an A, a teacher's pet actually. However, I was this puny, dyslexic boy with ADHD. The dyslexia and ADHD wasn't a great help to me and I was a straight-D student. And to help me improve my grades, Annabeth would tuition me and we would do our homework together after school every day.

It's kind of funny actually, how Annabeth and I could become best friends. We were just so different from each other. She was confident and bright while I was timid and preferred to hide in a corner. And whenever I got bullied, she would stand up for me and help me. Although I would love to say that I did the same for Annabeth when she got bullied, the truth was, I didn't. It's not that I didn't try. Let's just say that it didn't work out, and that it would make the bullying worse. I really wanted to be her knight in shining armour, and protect and stand up for her, but who would be scared of a wimpy kid like me? The answer? No one.

We spent a lot of time together and grew really close, we ate lunch together, played together and chatted with each other every night. It was like we were stuck together by superglue. Inseparable. Since I couldn't be her knight, I could only be her listening ear. She would pour out everything on her mind and I would listen. If she was happy that day, I would also feel happy, and if she was upset, I would also feel upset. Strange, eh?

Years slowly passed by and we went to middle school. Annabeth became more beautiful, she grew taller than me and her body shape grew more defined and she became more tanned. She was…perfect. And she was still as smart as ever, maybe even smarter. However, I was still the same as ever, dorky and dumb, yearning for the day where I would finally have a grow spurt and hopefully grow taller and less dorkier.

And then things started to change last summer when Annabeth fell hard for Luke, this handsome and cool jock.

Ok, and so this chapter is a little boring but it is because it is the introduction. I promise it would be more interesting in the next chappie! So...what do you guys think of this chapter? Good? Horrible? Constructive suggestions are more than welcomed. PLEASE REVIEW! It would mean a lot to me. I will try to update as quickly as possible as I have been a reader too before and I know how it feels when the story is so nice and the author doesn't update for a long time. So goodbye for now! Don't forget to REVIEW! Thanks~
