CHAPTER 1: Annabeth's Point Of View
You could say my life story came straight out of a book or movie. How after all the trouble I went through, I finally became somebody. Somebody that people look up to. Somebody a person can love. My tragic story started when my mom died in a car accident on my 13th birthday. She was speeding, trying to make it in time. I could never get the idea out of my mind that it was my fault, my fault that she died. At least that's what my dad made me believe. After she died he would do his best to stay away from home. During those times I would stay in my room and drown myself with music. At times, music was the only thing that kept me from going crazy. To cover that gigantic amount of guilt that I felt for my mothers death. After a while I started making my own music, writing lyric after lyric. A year after that, I learned how to play piano, soon after that guitar. And that's how I, Annabeth Chase, came to be.
When it came to school I always isolated myself. Finding it hard to make new friends. One day in 8th grade I was walking towards the lunchroom when a girl also known as R.E.D bumped into my on purpose.
" Watch where you're going mute. " she spat at me.
Without anything better to say I just bent down and started picking up my books. Not looking up I heard footsteps and assumed that it was R.E.D walking away, when someone reached down and started picking up my books. I looked up to see electric blue eyes.
" Do you always let people push you around like that?" The girl asked.
" Yeah." I said in a quiet tone.
I took the chance of silence to get a better look at the girl.
She had raven black hair. She has a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it, black jeans and black army boots. When she was finished I looked at her and said,
" Thanks for the help. I usually don't get that kind of kindness around here."
" No problem. My names Thalia Grace, what's yours?"
" Annabeth Chase," I said with a smile.
From that day on we were inseparable. I soon found out that she could play drums, saying that drums were the "heart beat of rock." I could agree more.
She soon found out that I had a thing for making music and singing. I told her to keep it a secret. When we finally graduated middle school I couldn't be happier but ass soon as I hit high school, that happiness was washed away.
