Hey everybody! I am the writer of several stories…like The Lost Princessand The Mission! Hope you guys like my third official story! Please review! :D

Percy POV:

"PERCY!" I heard a girl scream. I turned around, seeing Rachel cling on to me.

"Hi," I said in a down-cast mood. I didn't like the way Mom paired Rachel and I up. Arrange marriage? Seriously?

"Don't be this way," she said, giving me a peck on the cheek.

She smiled.

I stared at her disgust.

She winked.

I got out a hand sanitizer from my pockets and wiped my cheeks.

She glared.

I smiled.

And she left.

And I walked away.

It was always that routine. She would be the one screaming to her sly cat while I would be shrugging the whole incident away. It's stupid how I am marrying her.

And there is only one way to escape.

I ran up towards my apartment. I know Rachel loves me only for my money. I am a millionare. I create things that can benefit the world.

I am benefiting the world on this new project I'm making, but it's mostly for me to escape marrying Rachel and nagging from Mom and Dad.

It's time for me to escape.

As I went into my study, I began taking out blueprints and scraps of metal. When everything was neatly organized for me to make the finishing touches of my time machine, I went inside my closet and took out my machine.

There…the machine I've been working for years.

I've always dejected Mom and Dad telling me to look at girls. Finally the paired me up with one, but I'm disgusted. I want to be a single. And there can't be possibly any girl who can ever make me fall in love with them. All the girls just stare at me with dreamy eyes…okay, that's not my thing. I am known mean and stupid, but who cares. The only thing I care about is my love of creating machines, technology…etc.

As I worked on, adding a little bit of the finishing touches, I stared at my masterpiece.

Wow…this is my best masterpiece.

I went into the closet again, and got all my important machines and a luggage. I am going to the past, or another world. And I am going to escape 2073. I am going to swift to the past.

I pressed the ON button.

It revived into life, cranking just a little. As I stared at it, my eyes gleamed. I am prepared. I opened a lid in the time machine, which opened space to put all my stuff.

It took some time to take out many things.

I decided I would not keep my machines. I kept many pencils, paper, and blueprints. I also packed a few clothes and good, and I was ready.

"This has to work," I whispered. "If not, I am going to hate myself."

I turned the button on. I gripped on the handle, closing my eyes. Everything was getting bright. I closed my eyes. I know I was a horrible son. Always breaking the rules…everything. I wasn't like Dad who works as a business man or Tyson who creates jewelry. I'm not like an artist as Mom, and…yeah. I'm only technology. I remembered the little note I attached to my desk. Somehow they'll see. The wind was blowing, causing for me to grip onto the handle harder.

And then, the machine stopped.

I turned around, and I ended up into time square, where everyone was screaming.

"Need a hand?" a blonde haired girl asked. I stared up, and I glared.

"No thanks," I said coldly. I don't need anyone's help. I came here for research, but I came a little unprepared. What era am I in? Where am I?

"Okay…" she mumbled. And she stood there, staring at me. I went up, and she smiled.

"Please have some new year spirit! Come on…it's great out here!" she said. "Anyways, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too," I said glaring at her. But weirdly, she was different. She never gave me winks or dreamy eyes. She just stared at me if I was a normal person.

"Come on! In a few minutes, it's going to be a new year!" she said.

I walked towards her. Everybody was wearing 2015 glasses, and beamed at me. I gave a very introverted smile and just stared up.

So I am soon going to be in a 2015 era.

The same girl stared at me, and soon this huge ball bursted.

"IT'S A NEW YEAR!" she beamed. "IT'S A NEW YEAR!"

She stared at me, and I glared at her. She turned away, and didn't focus on me. I walked away into the streets, going towards a hotel. Once I entered the hotel, I signed in and entered my assigned room. No robots to assist my bed. No dinner slots to deliver my dinner. None of that. It was just me and a broken AC.

I didn't pack out my things. Clutching my time machine, I carefully put it under the bed, and opened the curtains.

And there, I saw everyone being so happy. I saw the same girl smiling, jumping up and down. She looked quite attractive…okay, what am I thinking of? Why am I thinking she looks attractive? I have no eye for girls, and she is just a random acquaintances.

I stared at her and the others, how everyone seemed to have joyous faces. I was so not used to this environment. I thought me, a 30 year old, can handle this, but it's harder than I imagined. Everything seems so different. I feel like I'm in a different world.

And the worst part is that I feel like I don't belong anywhere.

I stared at myself, how my clothes aren't casual as there clothing, how they use a sprinkle of color instead of ours, which is hypnotizing as black and white. The buildings are more modernized, everything is just beautiful. It has color, but everything isn't as amazing as the buildings here. So strange…how they look so oldern.

I jotted that down in my notes.

After describing all my fascination, I went to bed, waiting for the next day.

I know…the first chapter may seem boring, but I promise everything will get better! Anyways, I just thought of the idea of GIVING MOTIVATION to you guys, so here is the motivation for the day:

DON'T YOU EVER FORGET HOW WONDERFUL YOU CAN BE, AND THAT EVEN IF YOU HAVE SOME FLAWS, THEY WON'T EFFECT HOW WONDERFULYOU ARE.

Anyways, that is my motivation for the day! Please review! :D
