That will probably be every day other than weekends. :) So, please enjoy this and review for any ideas that you have. Thank you! :)

**************************************There is Always Hope*******************************************************************************************

"Chirp! Chirp-Chirp"sang the bluebirds outside my window. Groggily, I sat up out of bed. The sweet smell of spring drifted throug my open window. Spring was my favorite season. All the beautiful birds, the cute little baby animals, the amazing flowers. And don't forget the soft 'pitter-patter' of the raindrops when they fall.

Did I forget to introduce myself? Hi, I'm Annabeth Chase. 17 year old blonde girl with gray eyes. Yes, that would be me. I just moved here to New York. I used to live in San Fransisco, but my dad wanted to move to New York for some reason.
I pushed that thought aside and started to walk downstairs to hope that my stepmother, Helen, was making breakfast. She was.

"Oh, morning Annabeth." smiled Helen. I was never that close to my real mother. She died when I was four years old. I know that she had long, curly brown hair and gray eyes. Her name was Athena. I have one picture of her.

Again, I pushed my past aside and grabbed a plate from the cabinet. My stepmother was making scrambled eggs. She always made eggs on Monday, bagels on Tuesday, waffles on Wedensday, toast on Thursday and you had to make your own breakfast on Friday. You dont have to tell me. I already know. My family is crazy. But, I like it that way.
I could tell my dad already left for work because his briefcase by the dor was missing and his coat on the coat rack was gone. I sighed. He never sees me, and I never see him.
"Eggs are done!" yelled Helen. my stepbrothers, Bobby and Matthew, came running down the stairs. Bobby tripped over one of his toys in the living room.
"Owie!"said Bobby. But, he got up, still smiling and giggling. Bobby and Matthew were were nearly identical. The only way to tell them apart were their eyes. Bobby had blue, and Matthew had brown.

I quickly grabbed my plate and filled it with eggs and bacon. I set it down on the table, and then sat down myself. I checked to see what time it was and realized I was running late. I ate quickly.

When I was done, I placed my plate in the dishwasher and went upstairs to get changed. I picked out some jean shorts with rips in them and a black and white paint patterned top. I let my golden hair stay down. I slipped on my sneakers and grabbed my backpack.
"Bye mom!" I shouted as I headed out the door. I was starting at Springville High School today.

I am so not nervous.

Maybe a tiny bit.

Maybe a little.

Maybe, just possibly...yes.

Okay! Yes! A lot. I am really nervous about going to a new school. But, don't judge me. I bet theres nice people, right? I shivered. It was late April and it was cold outside today. I would have grabbed my jacket, but I didn't have enough time.

"Oh well." I sighed.

*********************There is Always Hope***************************************************************************************************************

About halfway through my walk to school, a random guy in a black SUV drove through a puddle and got me wet. Next, a bird pooped on me. On my brand new shirt.

Well, today is just so not my day.

Out of nowhere, this motorcycle is coming up behind me!

Yes! I was walking on the sidewalk!

I quickly dove out of the way, onto someones lawn.

A boy about my age was riding on the beast. He was wearing a leather jacket and a helmet. (Of course he was also wearing pants. Black pants. And shoes. I mean, come on. It would just be wierd if he wasn't.)

"Sorry!" yelled the mysterious boy. I don't know how he could yell with his helmet on and how I could hear it, but, it worked. I wanted to follow but I was too stunned to move because a blue dog was running after the motorcycle. Yes. I said bluedog.

This...is seriously strange.

*************************************There is Always Hope***********************************************************************************************

Don't you dare yell at me! You better close your mouth right now!

Okay, so I might have almost just killed somebody, but, that is hardly my fault! She shouldn't have been walking there. You are probably wondering who I am, aren't you? Well, I'll tell you.

Hey. I'm percy Jackson. Just Percy. Totally not Perseus. Its just PERCY! I am 17 years old, turning 18 on August 18th. I have black hair and green eyes. Blah, Blah, Blah. Who even cares about this stuff!

So, back to the motorcycle. You are probably wondering why I was on the sidewalk. Well, my dog followed me out of the house. I didn't exactly know about that. DO NOT YELL AT ME! Neptune is a very sneaky puppy. Anyway, i was riding down the road and heard a barking sound. It sounded like Neptune and not alot of people own dogs at that neighborhood. I turned around and saw Neptune running after me. I drove onto the sidewalk. I couldn't head home or I'd be late for school. I already had enough detention passes. And I knew that Neptune couldn't go home alone. So, I thought I would give him a little excercize. I drove super fast on the sidewalk. Believe me, I didn't see the blonde beauty until I nearly ran her over. Not my fault, right? So, I only yelled sorry and kept riding.

Well, now I'm at school and I go to go see my girlfriend...Bye!

I was still mad about the Motorcycle Man incident , but I pushed him aside. I also pushed aside the fact that he almost put me in the hospital. I saw the school up ahead. It was really a nice looking school made of all brick. But, the brick was really well kept.I walked up the stairs and opened the big glass door. There was no one in sight. Then, I heard boots against the cold floor.

"Hey! Lost girl. You need some help?" asked a girl with thick, wavy reddish-brown hair. She was wearing ripped jeans, and a loose, dark blue tank-top. To top it off, she wore blue and white cowboy boots. Just saying, she was gorgeous.

She came closer and I saw that she had brown eyes and her face was piled with freckles. Yep. Gorgeous.

"Hi! I'm Pandora. Pandora Thomas." said the girl. She semmed nice.

"Hey. I'm Annabeth." I started. ''I just moved here from-"

"Wait. Let me guess." started Pandora. "You are very tan, so i'm guessing...Flordia, maybe?"

"Nope." I smiled. "But, kind of close. California. San Fransisco, California."

"Oh. Well, I have a twin and we usually think the same thing. I wanted to see if it worked on other people."

"Cool. Do you know where the main office is? I have no idea where I'm going."

Pandora smiled. "It's right over here. Follow me."

On the way there, we talked and she told me that I could sit with her at lunch. Then, students started coming in. There was a group of guys coming in together. The one in front had black hair and green eyes. He wore a leather jacket over a dark blue v-neck t-shirt. He laughed at something his friend said. Then, his head turned and his eyes looked straight at me. We made eye contact.

I found Motorcycle Man.
