Greatest Love Story- A Percabeth AU [On Hold]

Chapter 2

Annabeth's POV:

Well, I guess I might as well start by telling you about myself. My name is Annabeth Marie Chase.

My parents broke up before I was born, and my dad was really the only one taking care of me until I was around 7, when my mom seemed to remember she had a daughter, and I wound up spending more time at her house. My parents never really went to court to decide who had custody of me, they just decided between themselves who would take care of me and when.

When I was 5, my dad married my step-mother, Helen. Helen hates me. She's convinced I'm somehow going to be a bad influence on my little half-brothers, Bobby and Matthew, despite the fact that I haven't broken a single rule in my life. They're 5 year old twins, and even a "bad influence" could not make them any worse behaved. I don't spend much time at my dad's house.

My mom's house is much more peaceful. I don't have any younger siblings there, and my mom doesn't mind me being there, as long as I don't bother her while she's working, or mess anything up, and I haven't done either of those things since I was 7.

My mom does hate her next-door neighbor, though. I don't know much about him, but I'm pretty sure he has two sons. The one that's there most of the time is probably about the same age as Bobby and Matthew. I think I've heard them call him Tyson. Then there's the other one. His name is Percy Jackson. He and I have both just started out senior year at Goode High School. That's really the only similarity between us, though. He's gained a reputation over the last few years of being the troublemaker at school, whereas, like I mentioned earlier, I haven't ever broken a rule. He's apparently failing most of his classes already, despite being less than a month into the school year, whereas the worst grade I have ever gotten was an A. Not even an A-, an A. Like I said, we're polar opposites.

We would probably never get along if we had to interact at all. That's where this becomes a problem. See, I like him -- as in, I have a crush in him. I suppose it doesn't really matter, nothing will ever come of it, I'm sure. He probably doesn't even like me. Most likely he just thinks of me as a goody-two-shoes.

Although I have caught him staring at me a few times, though he was probably just planning some prank or trick... Maybe I should be worried.

Hey! This took way longer than I thought it would. Writing from Annabeth's point of view is harder for me than Percy's, despite the fact that I relate to Annabeth way more. That may actually be part of the problem, because I'm never entirely sure if what I'm writing is what Annabeth would actually say, or if I'm adding too much of myself into it. Anyway, the next chapter will be from Percy's point of view, and will hopefully be out within the next couple of days, not a week after I plan on finishing it like this one was. Anyway, let me know what you think, and let me know if you like Annabeth's middle name. I also want to know if I should go back and add Percy's middle name to the last chapter, just leave it out entirely, or add it in later somehow. Hope you liked it!
