Hello Everyone! So this is my first fanfic I have EVER written but when this idea for a story came to me I knew I had to share it with all of you PJ fans! Reviews are much appreciated :)

Percy's POV:

Hi, my name is Percy Jackson; Swim Team Captain for St. Anthony's High School and New York Aquarium Volunteer. This is the story about the craziest week I've ever had and how I discovered that me and my best friend were more than just friends…

I was walking up 59th Street towards my best friend, Annabeth's, apartment building. She said she would be home at 4:00 P.M. but I wanted to get there a little early so I could surprise her with everything prepared for us to study (and maybe some sandwiches while I was at it). She's been studying hard for not only her exams, but mine too.

You see, we both know that if she passes the exams she'll be accepted into Cornell University, but I'd have to ace the exams in order to get in; crazy right!? I've been studying non-stop for the past 2 weeks, trying to prepare, and Annabeth's been helping me every step of the way. No way we were going to go to separate colleges! We met in 1st grade and have been best friends ever since, I can't stand the thought of school without her; let alone college!

Now don't go shipping us ladies and gentlemen; literally everyone in our class thinks we have thing for each other but we both agree that we are just friends and nothing will change that.

Anyway, I was about to cross the street to get to her apartment when someone caught the corner of my eye; Annabeth! She was crossing the same street all the way on the other side of the walkway (which was at the bottom of the hill we were on)! Her wavy, blond hair was tied up into a high ponytail and it looked like she was listening to music on her MP3 Player.

Anyway, it really looked like she was jamming out to some music (because her eyes were closed and her head was bobbing as she strolled across the street) but before I turned to cross the street with her, I saw that there was a huge pickup truck speeding up the hill and towards where Annabeth was crossing!

She was crossing the street, oblivious to the enormous truck coming her way!

"Annabeth! ANNABETH! ANNABETH!"

I yelled to her as loud as I could but she couldn't hear me; she was ALL the way on the other side of the road! I was yelling to her and sprinting all the way down the hill but I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it in time before the truck hit her!

The ginormous truck was going at like 100 MPH, up the hill heading straight for Annabeth! Couldn't the driver clearly see the 17-year-old girl crossing the street!? I had to run faster or I wouldn't make it in time!

I was going at full speed but I was still not close enough to warn her! Then something caught my eye; a skateboard! There was a plain brown skateboard leaned up against a fence post! I abruptly stopped running, snatched the skateboard and road down the hill with it, kicking my feet against the pavement as much as I could to gain more speed (if you're wondering how I know so much about skateboarding I was actually a skateboard enthusiast when I was like, 10, but I eventually gave up and took up my love of swimming instead).

Anyway, the skateboard was really doing me good; I was going at least twice as fast as when I was running! I stopped right behind where Annabeth was crossing the street (she was 10 feet in front of me; man, I never noticed how large this street was!) I looked to my right and saw the truck; still going full speed up the road! There was no sign it was going to stop or even slow down!

"Annabeth! HEY!"

Surprisingly, she still couldn't hear me! She must've had her music on at full volume!

I ran across the street.

The truck was barely 10 feet away and coming this way!

I was almost within arm's reach of Annabeth when my foot slipped and I fell right on top of her!

"What the!? Percy? What are you-"

There was no time for questions; I shoved her out of the way.

There was a loud blare of a horn. It must've been coming from the truck, but I didn't have time to find out. Seconds after I pushed Annabeth out of the way I felt a horrible pain in both my shoulders and back, as if all of my bones in that part of the body had cracked. Before I knew it, I was flat on my back and I heard someone scream before my vision became blurry and I blacked out.
