Chapter One

Annabeth's POV

2 Days Before

"I'm going to miss you so, so much Anna," Mark said in to my hair. We were standing in his cosy, warm, welcoming living room.

"I'm going to miss you too, Mark." I sighed into his shoulder. I was leaving today. He was leaving next week on Tuesday. High school ended last week and now were both heading in different directions. Mark is going to Harvard Law School, and me, Im going all the way from America to Glasgow university in scotland, the country I once called home, to study photography and english literture.

Mark Johnstone has been my only friend since I moved to America 3 years ago. why? you must be thinking, Why is he my only friend? the answer is because he was the only one who stood up for me.

Three years ago I was a happy girl with some really good friends when my parents told that my dad had a new job and we were moving to America in a week. To say i was shocked and sad was to say the least. I was devastated. I ran staright to my room in tears, I refused to come out or talk for the rest of then night. eventually I did and I went and told my friends and then we packed up and ended up here in America.

I started my new school and because being the girl I was; obsessed with books, art and photography, I was instantly labeled a nerd.

For the first few weeks all the stereotypical jocks and everyone else for that matter either teased me or ignored me.

There was one day I was I'm the school library, the one place I had been safe I'm so far and I was cornered by a bunch of cheerleaders and a couple of jocks. The started teasing an taunting me like they always did when a loud powerful voice spoke up.

"Well, well well, what do we have going on here? Picking on the new girl I see? Well this just won't do! Won't do at all!" Said the voice. His voice was low and rusty and very even if i do say this sexy.

Everyone turned and looked at the person who had interrupted their fun. One jock spoke up, "why are you here Johnstone? What do you even care?"

The guy who I could now see through the group who had split, smirked. "maybe I don't" he shrugged 'whats it too you James go find someone else to pick on"

The other jock answered, "what you going to do about it huh?"

My hero as I was then starting to think kept smirking, "you and I both know what will happen" it was then that my tortures decide to give up their fight and ran out, while I just sank down to the ground and sobbed. my hero came over and say beside me and pulled me into an embrace and stroked my hair.

"Shhh.. it's okay now they won't bother you again. look at me Annabeth look at me" I don't know why I looked up. Maybe because hey knew my name but when I did I was lost. Lost in his beautiful orbs of blue, gold and green that just echoed friendship and I actually smiled.

My hero smiled too. "That's better and Annabeth I'm going to protect you. I promise."

"Thank you. what's your name, my hero?" After I said that I mean tally slapped myself but he didn't seem to care in fact he laughed.

"Your hero, I like that and my name is Mark Johnstone and its a pleasure to meet you." He smiled.

"You too" I said to him and that's how I met Mark and how we started our long friendship.

That friendship brought us to this point of inevitably of saying good bye standing in his living room.

"What are you thinking about?" Mark questioned.

"Us, how we met, how you saved me" I answered.

"So our worst moments then?" He laughed.

"Yup!" I say popping the p and laughing too. "I have to go now.." I stated sadly.

"Yeah I know you will phone me and Skype me right?" He enquired sounding worried.

"Of course how could I not?"

"I suppose."

"I love you best friend" I pipped. it was our thing like Augustus and Hazel's "okay? okay.", Though they were a couple in the end and mark and I have never been romantically involved. I'd just never felt that way. don't get me wrong my best friend was a knock out. shiny dark brown hair, endless blue eyes and a body any guy would die for and any girl would swoon over, but I just saw him as my best friend nothing more and I'm sure he feels the same.

"I love you too best friend" he replied.

After a few minutes of talking I actually did have to leave we hugged and walked outside to my car, a older model black Mini Cooper. I got in, it and the rest of my stuff would be shipped over in a few weeks. I started the engine and pulled away, waving as I went.

"So long America" I thought to myself on the plane waiting for take off, "Scotland I'm coming home"
