Annabeth

Junior year begins tomorrow. I think I should read something to pass time.

" Annabeth?" My mom called from down stairs.

" Coming Mom." I answered.

I climbed down the stairs to find Thalia waiting for me.

" Hey. " I greeted.

" Hi I was bored at home so I thought we could do something." Thalia said.

" Yeah. Sure." I responded.

" So what do you wanna do?" She asked.

" I was just thinking of reading something." I told her my plan.

" Ahh... Thats so boring." She said making a digusted face.

"Well th-" I started only to be cut off by her.

" Lets go get some Coffee." She suggested.

Not what I was gonna say.

" Oh... um ... sounds good." I obliged.

Thalia and I have been best friends since we were 10. Even after 6 years our bond still strong.

Anyway so we decided to go to The Cafe Coffee Day.

We decided to walk to the place cause it was just 15 minutes from our homes.

We reached CCD and Thalia saved us a table around the left cornner so that we couldnt be eavsdropped. We ordered coffee and were waiting for it arrive . When I saw them.

The hottest boy of the school and his girlfriend.

What does he look like?

Umm...He's handsome , has dishevelled , jet black hair, swept to one side as if he just took a walk on the beach and beautiful bright sea-green eyes. He's got a sarcastic, troublemaker smile. He is very muscular, fit and lean.

They entered the Cafe and the guy went staright up to the counter to place their orders.

He was wearing White T-Shirt with ripped denim jeans and Black Converse.

Do I know him?

Yup thats him. My Best Friend Percy Jackson. I have had a major crush on him since I was maybe 8 or something. Maybe I m in love with him. Heck I don't know about that.

Do I still like him?

Yes. I am still hung up on him.

Why don't I tell him?

Because of her. Sadly he has girlfriend. She's called Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She is pretty attractive, tall, slim girl with frizzy red hair, freckled face, green eyes. She is a rich, spoilt brat. Her dad Mr. Dare is the owner of Dare enterprises that is a very accomplished business.

Long story short I hate her. I know our feelings are mutual. Unlike mine and his.

" Thalia?"

" Yeah? "

She turned back to look in the direction where I pointed.

" What are they doing here?" She said a bit too loud.

" Shh..." I said.

OH NO.

They spotted us and waved at me.

Did I wave back?

I think I just did cause they were walking over to us.

"Hi girls." Rachel Elizabeth Dare said.

"Hello." Thalia said flatly. I nodded to her and smiled at Percy.

" Join us." I offered.

" Uh... umm... we didnt mean to intrude." She said awkwardly.

" Naah That shouldn't be a problem." Thalia said waving her hand dismissively.

" Alright." Percy said happily. I got up and sat next to Thalia so that they both could sit together.

" Thanks." Rachel Dare muttered. Percy flashed me a smile.

I LOVE THAT SMILE.

Percy and I have know each other since we were like 6. We were the best of friends. We knew each other better than anybody ever did.

He and his parents live next door to us.

Thalia is Percy's cousin . She lives with his family because her parents are Scientists . They usually have to move to a lot of places because of their jobs. So they wanted her to stay with the Jacksons.

His parents became best friends with my parents. They usually hang around at weekends and well a lot of other days.

Soon we became best friends too.

They had moved here about 10 years ago.

I still remember that day.

Let me take you back 10 years.

*****10 years ago********

It was a fine Sunday afternoon. It was just a week after my birthday. I had turned 6. I was in my room looking admiring our little garden when I saw a truck pull up in the driveway of the house next to ours.

Wow we have neighbours finally I had thought. Nobody had lived in that house for like 3 years.

I practically ran downstairs to tell Mom and Dad.

" Mom? Dad?" I called.

" Yes dear." My dad said.

" Where's Mom?" I asked him.

" Here kiddo." Mom said joining us.

" A family is moving in the next house. I saw a truck loaded with stuff pull up in the driveway." I had told them I remember.

" Oh that's awesome." Dad said.

" Honey we should invite them for dinner and later maybe we could help them settle in." Mom suggested looking at Dad.

" Yes we should go invite them." Dad said nodding.

" You go with Annabeth. I should make preparations."

" I should help you."

" Yes. You should but first go invite them." She said lightly shoving him.

" Yeah right. We should go." Dad said taking my hand.

I guess they had moved all the stuff in cause the truck was leaving.

That was quick.

We waited for the truck to leave and then crossed over to the next house.

I rang the doorbell.

A man with black hair, neatly trimmed beard and sea-green eyes opened the door. He was wearing leather sandals, Khaki Bermuda shorts and a Hawaiian shirt.

" Hello. How can I help you?" He said.

" Hello we live next door." Dad said.

" Please come in." He invited and then noticed me." Oh hello there." He said smiling.

" Hello!" I had said as I walked in the house with my dad. The house was a mess. Everything was still packed in boxes. Some boxes looked to be hastily opened probably to take out something quickly.

" Poseidon Jackson." The man introduced himself offering his hand for my dad to shake.

" Frederick Chase." My dad said shaking his hand." This is my daughter Annabeth."

" That's a beautiful name."

" Thanks." I said blushing.

" Poseidon? Percy's lost his shoes. I heard the doorbell who's there?" I heard a female voice followed by the appearance of a beautiful lady with blue sparkling eyes which seemed to change colour in light, a warm smile and long brown hair.

Percy? Who's that. I had thought.

" Sally that's our neighbours Frederick Chase and Annabeth." Poseidon explained. "That's my lovely wife."

" Hello I m Sally. I m so sorry. The house is such a mess." Sally said.

" Oh that's no problem. I can totally understand. We just came over to invite you guys for dinner tonight. Please do come."

" But we-" Sally started.

" No formalities please."

" Please." I insisted.

" Alright. Now who can say no to this cute little girl." Sally said looking at me.

We got their number on a piece of paper and left for our house.

***** Skip to evening *****

" What time did you tell them Frederick?"

" Seven."

" It is seven." Mom said looking at her watch.

" Yes."

"Oh my god did they cancel?"

" Why- Why would they do that?"

" Then why haven't they arrived yet?" Mom said panicking.

" Honey its fine. They'll come. Stop panicking." Dad said placing his hands on mom's shoulders.

~~ Tring~~

" That should be them. I should get it. Come along." Mom had said as she got to the door.

I followed mom and dad to the door. We opened the door to welcome 3 people. Sally, Poseidon and a boy probably my age.

That should be Percy.

He was pretty cute. He had gotten his looks mainly from his dad. The most amazing feature was his eyes.

I heard greetings being exchanged followed by a please come in.

Soon everybody gathered in the dining area.

" Percy that is Annabeth. Annabeth that is Percy." Dad introduced us.

" Hello." He said smiling.

" Hi." I had said.

We began dinner. Mom had made Pasta, Pizza, Hamburgers and Hot dogs. I was enjoying the dinner as well as eavesdropping on adults conversion. After dinner we had cookies that Sally had brought for us. They were blue.

" Thanks for the cookies Sally." Dad said.

" Seriously there was no need for this." Mom said taking one.

" Wow they are blue." I noticed.

" Yes that's because-" Poseidon started.

" Blue is my favourite colour." Percy said cutting off his dad. He took one too.

After dinner we talked to each other for the first time.

" What school do you go to?"

" Bubbles."

" Is it any good?"

" Oh you don't know. It is the best school here. Education is great and the staff is..." I think I had went on for about 10 minutes about our school.

I think everybody was looking at me. Percy looked bored. But of course he didn't show that to me.

" How old are you? Will we be in the same grade?" He asked me after I was done.

" 6 and you?"

" I am still 5." He said frowning.

" When's your birthday? Mine was just a week ago."

" August 18."

" That's yet to come. You'll be 6 soon."

That seemed to had cheered him up.

" That's right. Just a month away." He said.

" Percy will be going to your school too Annabeth." Sally said.

" That would be nice." Mom said.

" It would be nice to have a friend at the first day of school." He had said.

" Sure it will." I nodded.

Rest of the night we spent knowing about each other and my parents insisted they were going to help Jacksons settle in(To which they finally gave in).

That led to our parents becoming best friends.

Rest of the week flew by helping them and soon we had another dinner together. This time at their house.

These meetings kept on increasing and led to the formation of a good friendship between our parents and after a few weeks us too. Soon we were inseperable. We could talk to each other about anything and were always there for each other.

****** End***********

I was cherishing the memory and also talking to others. Occasionally throwing in a nod or a 'Hmm' .

They didn't seem to notice.
