CHAPTER 1- KINDERGARDEN
The first time they met was when they were five years old. She had been attending Goode Elementary for about a year already, joining preschool at the age of four. Annabeth Chase was an odd girl. Seemingly quiet and really small, the perfect picture of innocence blending into the background. But when she got comfortable with people, she was a firecracker. But never at school, always at home where she felt the safest. At the age of five, nothing changed.
Percy Jackson was only five years old, but you could already see it in his sparkling green eyes that he was a troublemaker. A mischievous smirk constantly adorned his small five year old face, and a mass of wild, unbrushed black hair sat on his head, always messy, yet always adorable. At least, that's what everybody thought. One moment, he could be staring at you with those green orbs, the next, he could be burning down a house. Accidentally, of course.
Separately, they might have seemed somewhat manageable. The shy girl on one side, the rebellious boy on the other. But together, it was fated that trouble and drama would ensure in the future. But they didn't know that yet.
They were in separate classes, so they didn't really talk at all that year. Annabeth was too preoccupied with her crush on the cutest boy in Ms. Demeter's class, Will Solace. She didn't even really know why. But that day, her crush on him was so intense, she had an idea. She wanted to profess her love to him. And it struck her, something she watched on television recently (not that her mother had let her watch TV a lot, it was a rare occasion). So she gathered a few of her friends, young Thalia Grace and Katie Gardener, and looked for something to collect. On the show, the person was showered with flowers and rose petals, but she didn't have that. She resorted to the one thing she did find- rocks.
Needless to say, it didn't end to well. She stopped having a crush on him after that.
Meanwhile, Perseus Jackson, beginning to go by the name Percy, was completely oblivious to the shenanigans Annabeth was pulling next door. He was stuck in his own little world, doing the regular little boy activities. He played with "swords", he was a ninja, etc. Life was good.
At that point in their lives, the only pain they could really get was from a scraped knee from playing. It's too bad that as they grew older, they couldn't say the same anymore.
AN: Hey guys, it's Lexielovely, here with another story! I'm just testing out this story idea, and the POVs might be scattered throughout the story. Right now, I'm just doing it in 3rd person, but as they get older, it'll be in 1st person. Just to let you know, everything this story is based upon is true. The plot is completely real. So before you ask, yes I did throw rocks at a boy once. Don't judge. Anyways… have fun!
As always, rate and review!
