Chapter One - Unfortunate Acquaintances

Percy's POV

Percy loved Calyspo, his beautiful twenty eight year old girlfriend. He kissed her softly, at the edge of the door of his diminutive New York apartment.

He never wanted her to go. Not even to work. "I love you Cal," he whispered softly, his lips trailing lightly down her neck, brushing her mousse coloured locks with his long, tanned fingers. She smiled at him sweetly, "Bye bye Perce." She left him standing there in awe. He was so in love with her. He banged his head against the side of the door and sighed, Cal was far too good for him. Him, Percy stifled a smirk, he was a failure in his eyes. He was raised by his single mom, Sally and later on, also by his stepfather, Paul.

There was no one, not even Cal, he loved more than his gentle mother. But, Percy had failed her. He was in his last year of Marine Biology, he dropped out of college, he was running out of money fast and he had no choice. But, his mother just sighed and smiled, which killed him the most.

Now, Percy lived in a tiny run down apartement, in the heart of Manhattan, and just down the street, there was the little cafe where he worked, owned by one of his best friends, Charles Becknedorf, or Beck as he liked to be called and his girlfriend, Silena.

He turned into the apartment and shrugged on his coat. It was in the middle of December, and the snow covered the streets and the buildings. He walked backwards out of his apartment in a daydream. He was alarmed by a shrill shout behind him.

His body met with a soft, slender body with golden blonde head of hair and the distcint smell of coffee.

"What the hell are you doing? Huh? What's wrong with you?"

He spun around and met a pair of deadly eyes. They were beautiful but in the scariest way possible. They were a storm grey, startling, but intriguing, the type of eyes that could be planning the best way to take you out, but bringing you in to make you fall in love with them. The face they belonged to was pretty but not Cal pretty, she was ok looking, nothing special, but still pretty, it wouldn't help that she looked incredibly angry. She looked at him, questioning him. "Oh I'm sorry."

"Oh you're sorry, look at these papers, I've been working on those all night and now no one can read them." She shrieked

He looked down to see coffee covered advertisements. He picked them up and threw them in the bin after read the message:

Roomate Available

I am looking to share an apartment due to unimportant reasons.

I am willing to pay half of all bills, and just a bed to sleep in.

Please contact me, if interested, thank you.

Signed : Dr Annabeth Chase, 067-34582841

"So, you're looking for a roomate?" Percy asked.

"Oh my Gods, why am I even talking to you?! I'm late for work! And I need to get more coffee. Thanks jerk." She stormed away, with her shoulder bag flying behind her. Annabeth, he thought, pretty. He chased behind the doctor."Doctor Chase, please wait up." He ran behind her and into the snow, and he jumped into his old Volvo and wove through traffic. He pulled up right in front of her crossing the road. She looked through the window and he pushed open the door, "Get in" he said firmly. This girl irriated him in a way he never felt before. After sighing, she hopped into the car. "You just cause a traffic jam in New York, I hope you're happy," she snapped. " I just saved you!" he argued back.

"Oh saved me? You one make me late for a very important presentation I have waited my whole career for, and you two, nearly ran me over!" She stared into his eyes, piercing into his soul. Her tied up hair now falling into her eyes. She wore no make up. "Percy." He said quietly. "What?" She said incredulously.

"I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." He looked straight out into the snow, and jerkked a right.

"Oh. I'm Annabeth."

"Nice name. Do I not call you "Doctor"?" He teased her slightly.

"Umm no. Where the hell are we going?" She looked at him again.

"You said you wanted coffee."

"But, you're driving to my coffee shop" She exclaimed.

"Sorry?"

"It's not very popular there, but I like it. It's the only quiet coffee shop there is in this place."

Percy smiled, "I work there."

"Really? Oh sorry."

He laughed quietly it's fine. He pulled up outside the cafe.

"So, shall we go in Wise Girl?"

"Wise Girl? Don't call me that."

"Yeah whatever Wise Girl."

She rolled her grey eyes and opened the door. He went out and stood beside her, "So, are we friends Ms. Chase?"

"More like unfortunate aquaintances, Mr Jackson, unfortunate aquaintances." She smirked slightly which ruined her serious tone. Percy pulled open the cafe door, and the two of them walked inside together
