Hey Guys Whatsup? As you saw I am new to fanfiction. I love reading fanfiction, I always tend to stay up late reading fanfiction on my iPod :)
A little bit about myself, I am an outgoing and pretty open person. I don't usually hide much from anyone.
I currently play wide receiver (hehe get my username now?) and quarterback on my high school football team, I'm 6'0 and my jersey number is #1.
Pleez leave reviews! :) They make my day! I accept flames, and criticism. I basically decided to wing this story so hope you enjoy!

Percy's POV
It was a late Thursday afternoon, and my body was extremely sore as I neared the corner to my house. Coach had drilled the football team extra hard today since we decided to slack off a bit before practice. By drilled, I mean he made us run for two hours, straight. Every step hurt until I was eventually crawling down the sidewalk.
Wait, wait, wait, slow down…..Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Percy Jackson and I'm 17 years old. I attend Goode High school for my senior year. I also play football there where I'm their starting quarterback. And even though I'm oblivious to it, most girls would call me good looking with long jet black hair, seagreen eyes, and a surfer's body.
Where was I? Oh yeah. I continued progress to my house inch by inch until it was in view. But there was something odd about the scene. Maybe it was the giant moving truck unloading furniture into the house next door that's used to be vacant for years.
I took a closer look and saw a girl struggling with a box inside the driveway. My Jaw dropped. She was unbelievably beautiful even in a hoodie and skinny jeans, with curly blond hair, a slender figure, and stormy gray eyes that I couldn't seem to look away from. I dropped my backpack in my driveway and ran over to help her.
"Hey, let me help you with that." I said while taking the box from her arms.
"Thanks." She smiled "Annabeth Chase." She said while sticking her hand out.
I shifted the box to my other arm easily and shook her hand. "Percy Jackson. So you just moved here?" I asked stupidly. I mentally slapped myself. Of course she did!
She laughed. "Yeah from San Francisco. My dad got a new job."
"Oh cool well you'll love it here. Where's your mom?" I blurted out the last part about her mom. Blame the ADHD.
"She's working late, again." She rolled her eyes so I got the feeling that her mom wasn't often home.
"How about I help you unpack the truck. Besides I don't have homework today, I did it all in class." I bit my lower lip hoping she would say yes.
"Okay. That would be great." She laughed then flashed the most amazing smile ever. God She was so beautiful that I found myself in a kind of trance.
Annabeth waved her hand in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to Percy." She then slapped me.
I quickly came back to reality "Wha-. Oh yeah sorry." I groaned inwardly while she laughed.
Annabeth led the way to the truck and handed me boxes while telling me which room to put them in. She was very organized and made me move a desk 5 inches because it just wasn't in the right "spot".
I carried in the last box while setting it in the kitchen.
"Well I think that's the last of them." I said as I looked over to Annabeth.
She yawned and playfully punched my arm. "Wow that took a while." She looked at her watch. "Uuuuuggghhh my mom won't be home for another hour and a half. Want to hang out over here?"
She looked…hopeful?
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Yes." I replied rather coolly.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. She opened up her fridge and tossed me a Pepsi. "So what's your story Percy?"
We sat down on top of the table.
"Well, I lived her as far as I can remember. I grew up her in New York. I am diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. I love to swim, I go to school at Goode High school. I play football there. I play Quarterback blah blah blah….."
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "What about your parent."
My eyes turned dark and I shuddered at the memory of my mother telling me Dad was dead. "Well my mom works at a local candy shop in the city and my Dad…well," A tear fell from my eye. "He's dead. They said he was…lost at sea, basically dead. I never wanted to give up hope but after all these years it's pretty obvious that it's true."
Annabeth's face immediately turned to sympathy. "Oh Percy I'm so sorry." She reached out and wiped a tear threatening to fall down my cheek.
"No it's okay." I regained control completely oblivious to how close we were. Annabeth's face was only inches from mine. I was about to close the distance when her phone went off.
We immediately jumped back blushing. "Umm yeah you should probably take that." I said awkwardly. I blamed my hormones.
"Yeah." She said still blushing.
I drained the rest of my Pepsi while waiting for Annabeth. She shortly came back. "It was a wrong number." She said.
"Oh." Was all I could manage.
I have to admit, I liked hanging out with Annabeth. She was so easy to talk to. I found myself laughing and joking around with her a lot. She was a lot better than most girls I knew at my school.
We even ended up going outside where I attempted to teach her how to throw a football. She was terrible but we had a good laugh.
"That was probably the worst throw yet." I commented while laughing after she attempted to throw the ball ten feet to me. The result was the football flailing around and hitting the dirt five feet from me.
She playfully punched my arm. "Shut up seaweed brain."
"Seaweed brain?" I asked her confused.
She laughed, "Yeah you love to swim and your dumb so I assume that your head is full of kelp."
I faked hurt, "You're so mean to me Wise girl." I smiled and laughed at my nickname for her.
"Wow you do know that's a compliment right?" She laughed at my lame attempt at a comeback. "I knew your head was full of kelp."
I took a look at my watch. Shoot! I had to be home an hour ago. I must have lost track of time while spending time with Annabeth.
"I had to be home an hour ago! I got to go. I had fun today Annabeth, your pretty cool. I'll see you at school tomorrow.
We quickly exchanged numbers as I caught a glimpse of her typing seaweed brain as my name into her phone.
"Cya Percy."
I grabbed my backpack and headed into my house.
"Hey mom." I greeted her with a kiss on the cheek.
"She crossed her arms. "Percy where were you I was worried sick. New York is a dangerous city."
"I know mom I know. I'm heading up for the night."
I walked into my bathroom and stripped down to take a shower. When I was finished I quickly brushed my teeth and put on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt.
I stole a glance at my phone and saw, New Message from Annabeth.
I clicked read now.
Sweet dreams seaweed brain =) c u 2morrow.
I smiled to myself as sleep soon took over.
