Hey guys! (please read the author's note: otherwise you probably could be disappointed...)

This is my first fanfiction EVER... so please don't be disappointed if it's not like you imagined :)
I also want to say sorry, when there are many faults because English really isn't my first laguage (I'm from Germany^^).

Like I said in the VERY SHORT summary: In this story. Annabeth and Percy are totally normal High School students and Greek Gods do not exist. I also made a few changes in the characters so sorry if they are out of character! It was necessary for them to fit into the story because actually I'm writing this story in German as a birthday present to my best friend :) and for she does not know PJO the names of the characters had to be changed. But I thought my story actually could be about Annabeth and Percy if they weren't Halfbloods.
So sorry to all Grover-Fans because he had to be changed a lot (no offense: I LOVE Grover in the PJO series)

Now I've said enough! I hope you enjoy reading and PLEASE review at the end! :)

Prolog

Hi!

First, I guess, I should introduce me and my friends.

I'm Annabeth. I'm 17 years old and go to H.B.H. (Half-Blood-High School) somewhere in the boonies. I always have great marks, so basically I'm a super intelligent student. But honestly, I don't feel like one. I'm nothing special, even though one could say that I am a California Girl, except my eyes. They are not blue but grey like the sky on a cloudy day. And whether I'm just a normal girl, I have one big problem to master. My stepsister! But that's another story, I will tell you about later.

So other important characters in my story are my friends:

Percy, my best friend! We know each other since we were eight years old. He has neither long nor short raven black hair, which always looks like he comes straight out of bed and emerald green eyes. Also Percy is quite well-built and at least four inches taller than me.

Thalia, also my best friend, who came here five years ago. Together with her Mom she came from Germany because her parents got divorced a while before that. But she's okay with it. This way she has no problem spending the holiday back in Germany visiting her Dad. Now, Thalia has spiky black hair and a real different style. Most the time she wears colored skinny jeans, t-shirts with slogans like "death do Barbie" (that's her favorite one) and black converse.

And last but not least, there are Grover and Nico. I know them since I can think, because their parents are friends of mine. Actually, only they're only friends of my father, Frederick. But as I already said. I will tell you later about this part of my story. Grover and Nico are 17 and 16 years old but since Nico is really clever he's in the same year like his older brother. Besides this those two have nothing in common. Grover is a tall, muscular guy with short curly dark brown hair whereas Nico wears his silky black hair like Justin Bieber and looks more like a skinny emo.

That's about my friends. Actually, I'd say I don't have enemies, except for my stepsister. So, I think, I should introduce her as well.
My stepsister's name is Babs (it's the short form of Barbara). Yeah, I know, very nice name. But knowing my stepmom I wouldn't think it any other way. Babs is he typical child from a broken home. She uses each of her parents to get every existing advantage. She has everything: the newest mobile phone, the best camera, TV… you get the point. Like you see, Babs is a bitch (excuse my language but I don't know any other word to describe her) and she always gets what she wants. And to top it off, she is what you would call beautiful: she's tall and thin and her waveless hair reaches her waist and has the color of caramel. But the worst part: she's only 13! Three years younger than me and everybody thinks we're at least the same age because she's about two inches taller than me. And believe me. I'm told this every single day.

Well… now I probably should start with my story. Actually, it's just my life. But I promise it won't get boring too often. Let's start…
