Hey guys! This is my very first fanfic ever and I'm excited to begin! Constructive criticism is welcomed and very much appreciated, but please give me a little leeway, as this is my first time trying something like this. Please give me reviews and PM me with any ideas that you would like me to add! (I have many, and I know how this story is going to go, however, I would like to see any suggestions; but I do reserve my right to choose whether or not I use your ideas). Again, thank you SO MUCH! Lastly, I do have a life outside of writing, so I apologize in advance for when I do not update, but I promise I will as often as I can. :)
I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians! I only own this story! Remember this is an AU!
Chapter One: Another Beginning
Annabeth's POV
The alarm went off at six o'clock sharp and I groggily sat up, hazily seeing rays of light dancing through the blinds signaling another day. After a minute to fully awaken, I finally got out of bed to start getting ready. Only one more year. Just one more left I thought. Senior year would pass by pretty fast and I'd be off to something new. I quickly changed into dark jeans and a t-shirt, adding a navy hoodie. To top it off, I grabbed my black converse, put my hair up into a pony, and glanced in the mirror. "Well.. this is as good as it's gonna get." I said aloud. Then after, there was a light rapping on my bedroom door, "Annabeth, sweetie? Are you up?" came the voice of Claire my step-mom, "Yes," I replied. I turned as I heard my door open, "You'll be great," she beamed. "Thanks," I answered softly. "Do you have your schedule?" Claire asked. "Yes," I answered. I don't need it though I thought, having already memorized it. Claire, as I stated before, is my step-mother. When I was three, my real mom, Athena was her name, passed away in a freak car accident. My dad Fredrick married Claire a year after. I know, I know, you're thinking 'So what happened?' Well, I got close to Claire, she obviously became the only motherly figure in my life. I mean, don't get me wrong, I loved my mother, and I remember the idea of her and that she existed, but because I was so young when she died, I have next to no real memory of her.
"Matthew! Bobby!" Claire called leaving the room, "You two are going to be late for school!" Ah, the twins, let me tell you about them. Well, my two step-brothers are the most rambunctious, loud, funny people I've ever met. But, they also are the best brothers I could ask for.
After taking one last look in the mirror, I grabbed my bag and an apple and headed out the door to begin the mile and a half walk to Goode.
Percy's POV
"Percy!" Mom called from the kitchen, "Percy! You don't want to be late for your first day!" I mumbled something like, "Uh duff luughh," and kept on snoozing. "Percy, I have blue pancakes ready for breakfast!" She yelled out. At that, I was up and in the kitchen. "Good morning, dear," came the voice of my mother. "Mornin'," I replied, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and digging in to my beautiful blue breakfast. Ever since my old step-father Gabe said that blue food didn't exist, my mom went out of her way to make and buy blue food. After she left 'Smelly Game' (as I liked to call him), my mother married Paul Blofis, whom is a teacher at Goode High. I had him for English last year and I'll have him for Theatre this year. "Ready for new classes?" Paul asked me. "Uh huh, sure," I answered.
I quickly finished eating and got ready for school, pulling on a pair of jeans, and a dark shirt. I got my schedule and backpack and went out to my incredible piece of machinery I had as a car-my blue mustang-and drove off to school.
Ok, I get what you're thinking, 'Why don't you just go with Paul to school?' But, think about it in my situation, I have a teacher that is also my step-dad. Having that on top of everything else like sports and drama, I just don't want anyone to know, I mean, would you? Yeah, I didn't think so. ..Okay so maybe it wouldn't be that bad, but it could mess with my reputation! There, I said it, I'm worried about being looked down on just 'cause I'm a 'teachers kid'. So what? Is that such a crime? No, It's not, it is perfectly normal. Also, I really just wanna drive my car, I seriously love that thing...
As the story continues, I promise the chapters will get longer! Once again, Thank You So Much for reading my story! :D
