AN: This is my first fanfic so please no flames or mean reviews. Like I always say, if you don't like it don't read it ok. So without further ado my story...

Chapter one: A Sneak Peek of My Life

Hi my name is Annabeth Chase-Athens or Anna Chase. I think you should know a few thing about me. I hate being interrupted and I'm deathly afraid of spiders. I love the color grey and Oh! I'm a princess. Yeah, kinda cliché but very interesting. I should probably explain, see I'm the crown princess of Athens,which is a very wealthy country, so I'm next in line for the throne. I'm in hiding because my parents wanted me to learn humility and honor and blah blah, honestly I'm not complaining cause royalty always gets treated weirdly. Anyway only certain people know about my true identity and the press doesn't know my personal detail but they do know I exist. I'm an MIA, the term for royalty in hiding and I'm not the first but I am one of the most popular because my Country is well-known and I'm next in line. My identity is to be revealed to the press one month from now. I live with my brother Malcolm in a mansion in New York. He is just a prince but he left the throne for me even though he is seven years older than me. So I probably explain how this whole "hiding ' thing works. My friend Bianca Di'Angelo started a business when she was 12. She was a princess and gave the crown up to become a fashion designer. All other designers hate her guts because she became so successful at 13. She also started the RPP (Royal Protection Program) for the world's royal families so they can live in peace. When I was 12, Bianca hid me and she was 15 at that time. That was 4 years ago, I will turn 16 in one months time which is when I will have my birthday ball and am required to have a date (Gee Thanks, Mom!). I was sent to live with Malcolm who is the same age as Bianca and attend Goode Academy. A diplomatic school for geniuses, royalty and rich jerks. Technically, Anna Chase is a countess of Athens. But still, this school is filled with jerks who think the world revolves around them just because their mommies or daddies are loaded. I do have friends here because there are some people who are really cool. There are 4 MIA's here counting me, two which I knew about and one I found out recently. Thalia Grace and Piper McLean of Olympus came with me and are the same age as me. The other MIA is none other than Prince Perseus Jackson the Second from Atlantis. He is another one of the famous MIA's since he's a crown prince like me. This is how he found out about my identity.

Flashback

We were going through monthly updates. All MIA's have communication jewelry that transmits a signal every month so we can report to an RPP official that we're okay. Mine is my dad's old college ring since it's a keepsake of my mom and I'm not likely to lose it. I have to report to Bianca every 18th of every month at 11pm So about 2 months ago I went to the hidden gazebo which is basically a gazebo hidden behind a bunch of trees in the Great Lawn. I made it at 11 o'clock exactly on time. My ring projected a holograph as usual and Bianca appeared "Hey Annie!" I growled since I hate to be called Annie. "You know I hate to be called that" "But I love it, so how are you?" I talked about the school year so far. "So are you ok, no infiltrations?" "Nope" I said popping the 'p' "Well you only have 3 months to go. So how's Malcolm?" she said blushing. It's sickening sometimes to live with the fact that Bianca and Malcolm are dating. "Good, You know you two should really get married that way I can live by myself" "Please, he probably isn't planning on proposing" she said disappointingly. "I'm sure he is" I was because Malcolm was planning on proposing on my ball. "Anyway I-" I was interrupted by the sound of a foot stepping on a branch. "Great it's 11:30 bye" Bianca said. The hologram was cut off so I climbed a tree to see who was it. Once up in the tree I heard Bianca's voice "Hey Perce" she sounded so nervous. "Anna get down here and Bianca explain what's going on" a deep voice commanded. I got down to see that it was Percy from my English class. He was a really cool guy and we were friends. Great an infiltration I thought. "How about you explain what you're doing here" "Well I saw you run out the door while I was getting water and so I followed you." he smiled at me before continuing "besides you were up hiding in a tree not me." I punched him in the arm but I was grinning "Right so if you guys are done..." Bianca interrupted and we both turned to her blushing. " Princess Annabeth Chase-Athens meet Prince Perseus Jackson the Second" she finished. "WHAT?!" we both said at the same time. " I just thought she was an infiltration" he said. "Gods, you think so highly of me" I muttered. He looked at me"No! I didn't mean it it- Uh um" He looked cute when confused, his eyebrows get all scrunched together. I laughed and he smiled. " Ahem!" Bianca interrupted again " if you guys are done we have to discuss this understand?" We both nodded. "Don't screw up my operations kay!" and the hologram dissolved. "Great discussion" I muttered. "Okay so don't say anything about my identity and I won't say anything about yours" I turned to leave when Percy grabbed my arm and said "Maybe we should hang out"

End of Flashback

That was 2 months ago and since then me and Percy have become best friends. He encouraged me to go by the name Annabeth again and start taking architecture which is now my favorite subject and pastime. But lately I kinda want to be more than friends but I don't know how to say it. Maybe I'll ask him to be my date. Anyway, the press just released 2 pieces of info that concern me. The first is that they released the place were my birthday ball is taking place which is Madison Square Garden and they released that I go to Goode. Guys are going crazy, asking every girl they think is the princess to the ball. I've been asked a couple of times but said no or that I'm going with someone else. I'm waiting for Percy to ask me but so far nothing. The second is that Prince Luke Castellan is coming to Goode. He's a world-class monarch and the most eligible bachelor in the royal world. The girls have gone crazy, he's coming next week but I'm worried. Luke and I were best friends and we've exchanged letters over the years but he's gotten so busy with royal life, we haven't talked in 5 months. The real problem is the last letter that I sent had a picture of me. I know, really stupid of me, but I think (more like hope) that he won't find me in a school this big or that he'll ruin things between me and Percy.
