What if it happened differently?
Chapter 1
I'm Annabeth Chase. I just moved a month ago from San Francisco to Manhattan with my dad, step-mom, and two twin stepbrothers. Before San Francisco we lived in Virginia. I'm sick of moving. I've been to so many schools! Today is my fist day at Goode high school and I really don't want to go. Well, anyway this is how it all happened.
Ugh! Today is my first day at my new school.
"Annabeth! Hurry up and get up! You'll be late!"
"Okay, dad!" I called from upstairs.
I got out of bed. I still wasn't dressed. I didn't care if I didn't want to go to this school I would not be late.
I quickly pulled on shorts and a black tank top. I laced up my black high top converse and left my curly blonde hair down over my shoulders. I grabbed my greek and roman architecture book from my not so deal and slung my backpack over my shoulders. It was a brown felt Jansport. Not very stylish. But I didn't do 'style' so it was perfect.
I pulled my hair out from under the straps waking down the stairs.
"Annabeth!" My dad warned me not knowing I was already down stairs.
"Bye!" I said already out the front door.
I didn't drive. I would be walking to school. Goode high school was within walking distance.
It was cold outside that it made the heat flush to my cheeks. I didn't mind. I liked that feeling but I made a mental note that I was no longer in California.
When I got to Goode I went to the administer office and got my schedule.
I was walking through the halls looking at my schedule when I ran into someone. Literally. I would've fallen down if she didn't grip me by my arms keeping me balanced.
"Whoa, there! Are you okay?" She was a girl with punk clothes, eyeliner, and she had startling electric blue eyes.
"Uh, yeah, thanks." I said.
"You're new here aren't you? I don't know you." She phrased it like she knew everyone in the school.
I smiled at her and nodded. She seemed nice enough but if I saw her on the street I would stay clear. Way clear.
She smiled and stuck out her hand.
"Thalia Grace. Cool to meet you." I shook her hand.
"Annabeth Chase. Cool to meet you as well." I said.
"May I?" She said pointing to my schedule.
She didn't wait for my answer but for some odd reason it didn't seem rude.
"Oh. Cool! We have four classes together including first period. Here come with me. I'll introduce you to my friends." She started to walk away and I followed her without hesitation.
We got to a clearing with a table away from the other high schoolers. It was nice here.
"Hey guys!" Thalia called to the people sitting at the table." This is Annabeth. Annabeth this is Silena, Beckendorf his real name is Charles but everyone calls him by his last name, nico and Bianca di Angelo, clarisse and Chris, the Stoll brothers, he's Travis and he's Connor, Katie, Grover, oh and percy." She said pointing.
"Thalia! Don't overwhelm her!" I girl stepped forward. I believe it was Bianca.
"Hi Annabeth! I'm Bianca! How nice to meet you!" She smiled at me and I smiled back. She seemed nice.
"Hi Annabeth." A girl smiled at me from the table. Silena.
I gave a slight wave to everyone and said hi weakly. They all introduced themselves again. Slower than Thalia did. One person didn't introduce himself again but he was smiling at me. I remembered his name from when Thalia introduced him.
He was percy. Percy Jackson.
