Annabeth
I wake to a beeping, which is annoying as hell. I look on my night stand and see an alarm clock with a note on top.
"Sorry, I forgot I bought this for you. The school is a twenty minute walk or take a look outside, and find a great surprise." It reads. Look out the window? I get up and walk over to the window. Oh my god, he didn't! In the drive way is a ford mustang, one of the newer ones. I can't believe he bought me a car! I get dressed quickly and run down stairs to the drive way.
On the dashboard, I see another note from dad. I smile as the truth comes to light.
"An old friend of mine hates new cars, but his son bought him one. I told him you were coming and needed a car. Inside is a learners permit. Tell no one, and everything will be fine. Love, dad." I can't help but tear up a little bit. I've been here roughly a day, and he's done so much for me already. And yes, I know how to drive, despite being fifteen. So dad trusting me to drive to school is a big honor.
I head back inside to eat and to pack my bags. I make a bowl of cereal and grab an apple while watching t.v. I know, shouldn't I be on the road? Well, if it takes twenty minutes to walk, it should take only five or ten minutes to drive. So, get off my back. After a few more minutes, I decide to finally start heading for school. And like I said, only a five minute drive.
I head for the front office, picking up my schedule. I hope I have no stupid classes, like parenting or something like that. I love challenges. And to my happiness, I have all advanced classes, plus a creative writing class. I'm happy.
The first on my schedule is Chemistry. One of my favorites for many reasons, one is just to mix one compound with another. While walking, I walk into someone. No on purpose, I just forgot to watch where I was going.
"Watch it freshman!" She shouts, clearly angered that I walked into her by accident.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to." I say. But that only seems to make her madder. Her face went completely red.
"Sure, and I didn't mean to punch your face!" She shouts. I could do nothing with my arms full, so I waited for the blow that never came. When I realized I closed my eyes, I saw that someone put their hand in front of me, protecting me.
"Rachel, do us all a favor and go back to your rich daddy. Your giving us all a headache." A voice says. I turn to see another student there, another girl like me.
"As if Thalia." The girl named Rachel says, before the other girl named Thalia bends her wrist a little, causing the redhead to yell in pain.
"That's what I thought. Now beat it." Thalia says, letting go. As Rachel runs away to her friends, the one who helped me holds her hand out.
"Thalia Grace. School punk, and all around badass." She says as I shake her hand.
"Annabeth, new girl." I say. She laughs before walking with me to chemistry.
"Ignore Rachel, okay? She loves to pick on new people. She thinks she's better because her daddy is rich." She tells me before taking a set. I look around, and notice that there is no other seat except one next to a boy who is staring at me. Damn, is he hot. Messy jet black hair, beautiful sea green eyes, a baby face that only he could pull off, and judging from his biceps, he works out a little. Why do I have to sit next to this...this god?
I slowly make my way over to the seat, not making eye contact with anyone. As I sit, he looks away, looking stiff. I wonder what I did wrong. I mean, I'm dressed alright, and I don't look hideous. I know I'm not that pretty, but I've had a boyfriend or two in New York. The class went by so fast, I lost track of time, until a second before the bell rang, the boy jumped up and ran to the door. He left by the time the bell rang. Thalia came up, looking confused.
"Stab him or something? Never seen Percy do that before" So I found out two things today. His name is Percy, and that's not his normal behavior.
Read and Review. Also, if anyone has any good names for characters, tell me, and I'll use them. With your okay, of course.
