I woke up to the sound of the bay, the wind, and the seagulls. It was a great sound to wake up to and an even better
sound to fall asleep to. I immediately got up and took a shower. When I got out of the shower I dried off and did my
hair and makeup. I decided I would wear my hair down with a headband today. There were lots of different
combinations I could make out of my new uniform clothes but I ended up wearing a long sleeve button down with
the sleeves cuffed along with one of the grey skirts, and a sweater tied around my shoulders. I pulled on the penny
loafers Aunt Addie had gotten me and I looked in the mirror adjusting my skirt. Today would be my first day at Yancy
Academy.
I walked down the stairs and followed the mouth watering scent of breakfast food into the kitchen. The kitchen had white drawers with light brown wood on the top that aligned the walls around a centered island that was matching white with a wooden top. Around one end of the island were several wooden barstools. Two matching brass lanterns hung over the island and above the the drawers were white cabinets. The kitchen overlooked the living room and I saw the familiar portraits of my family members on the walls. Aunt Addie was wearing a white fluffy bath robe with the letter 'A' monogrammed on it in navy and leaning over the stove cooking bacon.
"Good morning! How did you sleep?" she asked me.
"Oh just fine, it was actually one of the best nights I've had in a really long time"
"Thats great to hear! I cooked eggs,bacon, and toast. You can help yourself to whatever you'd like." she said going back to cooking. "You look great in that Yancy uniform by the way. Im sure the american boys will be all over you today." she winked at me.
I laughed, "Boys are the last thing on my mind right now" I said while fixing my plate. I sat down to eat. I was used to having a cook cook all of our food. Mum and Daddy never touched anything that had to do with the kitchen. Honestly I don't even think they know how to cook at all. After I finished eating I looked at my Michael Kors watch.
"Oh know its 7:45, I better get going. Don't want to be late on my first day at Yancy!" I rushed to my aunt and kissed her cheek.
"Oh and Annabeth, I packed you books for you in the book bag on the stair case, don't forget to pick it up" she said pointing a spatula at the stairs.
I went and grabbed the black North Face book bag. Once I got to garage a slung it into the backseat of the Porsche convertible. I put on a pair of aviators that were sitting above the drivers seat and smiled. I turned the car on and accelerated. I frowned and slammed on breaks almost running into the wall in front of me. "Shit" I said aloud putting the car in reverse. "There we go!" I pulled out of the garage and made my way to the school. I pulled up to the school and frantically looked for a parking space. If I hadn't of almost run into that mailbox I would have gotten here earlier and got a spot. I finally found a spot next to a BMW and Mercedes. I said a quick prayer asking God to please not let me hit one of those cars. Just as I was about to pull in a Range Rover sped up and parked in my spot.
"You've got to be kidding me!" I said loudly at the car. People around me turned and laughed. I watched as a tanned, black haired guy stepped out of the car and made his way over to me. He had blue green eyes that reminded me of the bay. I could tell this guy thought he was a hot shot because every girl that passed by him he would wink at. He was seriously hot but his big ego was a major turn off. He walked over to my car and cooly leaned up against the car door. He slid his sunglasses down to the bridge of his nose and looked me in the eyes.
"Sorry new girl, thats my spot. Theres a reason nobody parks there." he said laughing. "Maybe next time sweetheart" he winked at me.
I smirked at him, "Please get the hell off my car" I said sternly.
"Oh a Brit! I love the accent, what brings you to the States?" he asked casually as if nothing happened.
"Im so not going to waste my time talking to someone like you" I said driving slowly away. He ran up to the side of my car. This guy would not go away! I started to drive a little faster.
"Wait, Wait! Cmon wait! Im running out of breath" he said running next to me. I slowed the car down still looking for a spot. "Whats your name?" he asked panting as he jogged along side the car.
I didn't answer him. I found a parking space and pulled in. I took off my glasses and put them above the drivers seat.
I went to grab my bookbag from the bag seat but Percy beat me to it. He stood in front of me with my bookbag in his hands.
"All I want is your...name", he said giving me a weird look. He looked as if he was trying to remember something. This guy looked extremely familiar.
"You look really familiar, have we met before?" I asked him. I definitely knew this guy from somewhere. A couple seconds passed before he answered and I yanked my bookbag from him slinging it over one shoulder. He still had that stupid look on his face.
"You couldn't possibly be...no.." he laughed to himself, "no theres no way your...Annabeth?"
I couldn't believe it, first off I was right this guy did look familiar, and second he knew who I was. Well a lot of people know who I am but he didn't seem to notice at first. I nodded my head.
"Yeah, Annabeth Chase. Im gussing you heard about me on the news, or read about me in the headlines." I said pushing past him.
"I can't believe I didn't realize it earlier"
I pushed passed him and started walking to the school. He ran and caught up to me. What does this guy want from me?
"Its me, Percy. Percy Jackson!"
I stopped dead in my tracks. "Oh my god..."
