Chapter 1: Annabeth P.O.V.

I would say I have had a good life so far. I mean, granted I'm only 17, but still. I live with my dad, my stepmother and 2 twin half brothers. I have a great group of really close friends, and the greatest best friend, Percy Jackson. He's been my best friend since we were 6 and I don't know what I would do without him. Not to mention all the other incredible people I have had the privilege to meet. There's Thalia and Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Grover Underwood, Nico and Bianca Di Angelo, Hazel Levesque, Frank Zhang, Clarisse La Rue, Chris Rodriguez, Silena Beauregard, Charles Beckendorf (goes by Beck), Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano, and Connor and Travis Stoll. Seriously, I can't describe how much all these people mean to me. We all attend Goode High School and are all juniors. I guess you could say we're popular, but none of us really care, well except for maybe Silena. So yeah I would say that my life is pretty great. Too bad things have to change.

It was the first day back to school after winter break, I was walking through the hallway towards my locker and I saw a couple guys looking me up and down and wolf-whistling, I just rolled my eyes and kept walking. What pigs.
I got to my locker and noticed I was the first one there, per usual. I opened my locker and started to get everything I needed out when a felt a presence approach. I turned around just in time to see Leo try to scare me. I immediately started laughing at his dejected face, "Aw cheer up Leo, you'll get me one day" He just sighed and replied "No I won't, you're just too good Annabeth. " I smiled. Then Piper and Jason walked up, Jason had his arm swung over Piper's shoulder. "Hey guys. Haha let me guess, Leo didn't get you?" She said looking at me. I laughed and shook my head. After they got here, everyone proceeded to arrive, except for Percy. "Hey, where's Kelp Head?" Thalia voiced the same question that was on my mind, everyone turned to me. I held my hands up in surrender, "I don't know this time you guys." The Stolls both gasped, shocked "WHAT? The great Annabeth Chase doesn't know something, good gods what has the world come to? Travis screamed. I rolled my eyes and turned towards everybody else. I was just about to start talking again, when the hallway turned silent, except for a few quiet whispers. We all turned towards the door and was completely surprised to see Percy Jackson, my best friend, walk in, hand in hand with Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
