Opposites attract ( Percabeth )

Chapter 1

( A/N - in this "book" the characters are just normal people. So no demigods or any other mythical creature that they are portrayed as by Rick Riordan. Just thought it would be fun to have them be normal. hope this is okay. x ) 

Percy's POV

'The first day of senior year' I thought to myself as I woke up, I didn't know whether I was excited to finally be this close to leaving the hellhole that was Goode High-school or already tired of the shit I knew was going to be thrown my way this year. 

My thoughts were interrupted by my mom, " honey, I know it's the first day of school and you're dreading it but you need to start getting ready." I grunted a response and she laughed as she closed the door. 

" I'm only doing this because of you mom !" I half-screamed as I reluctantly woke up for my first day of hell. I changed into the first things I saw in my closet: a Metallica band t-shirt, black - slightly ripped at the knee- jeans, and black vans. Perfect. The t-shirt was a bit tighter on me than usual... I guess I did put on more muscle during the summer, but I didn't mind. I quickly gave my mom a kiss on the cheek and walked out of the apartment and towards school as I put my current favorite songs on blast on my headphones. The walk to Goode was slightly... how do you say...it was fucking torture. As I walked through those gates, I couldn't help but cringe at all the conversations that were very loudly happening around me

" YEAH, Leo and I made out for like 5 minutes, he was teasing me for the best sex I've had!! I swear Piper! Don't laugh !" said a girl who's name I think is Calypso. She was talking to Piper, one of the attractive and more nice girls of the huge clique of Barbies. ugh, the Barbies, I had completely forgotten about them until now. To describe them in one word: Bitchy. Even though they don't generally mess or bitch at guys, they love to point out how emo I look. 

''Speaking of the devils, here they come'' I mumbled to myself as I saw a formation of girls walk down the main hallway towards the lockers, every single one of them wore 3 pounds of makeup and wore clothing that was definitely against dress code- yet I'm not surprised they get away with it. Although I didn't like most of the barbies, I always had my eye on one of them... 

Annabeth Chase.

She was different than the rest of the Barbies, I could tell.  She barely fit in, her personality was vastly different from the rest of them, and you could tell she was only in the clique because she was one of the most gorgeous ones there, she had an incredibly toned body, beautiful blonde cinderella curls, and the perfect shade of tan, but the most intriguing of all were her eyes. Oh, gods, her eyes are amazing. They were this Intense stormy gray color that looked like they contained hundreds of years of knowledge and wisdom, even though she was 18 like me. As I continued to silently admire her beauty while leaning against my locker, my thoughts were interrupted by my little cousin Nico.

" Yo Percy, I hate to interrupt your creepy staring time at Annabeth but Principal Chiron is looking for you." he looks serious so I decided to just get this over with. 

" Ah shit, okay okay" I mumble as walk over to Chiron's office, I look behind me one last time to catch Annabeth smiling as she's reading a thick architecture book by her locker, she's so adorable. I just wish she didn't have to be with those vipers all day long. I sigh and open the door to find Mr.Chiron sitting down ruffling through some papers, he notices I'm standing by the door and gestures me to sit down. Chiron is a good guy, despite my other teacher's having no hope for my future, he's always worked hard to help me in my studies.  

"Now, Percy. We have to discuss your academic progress from these past 3 years and what I expect from you this year. As I'm sure you know, you aren't very strong in core subjects but your grades in swimming education are excellent! " I feel a small grin form on my lips as he says this. It's true, I have such a passion for anything related to the ocean or being in the water. I feel like it's what I was meant to do in my life.  Chiron seems to have noticed my smile and says something that still has me baffled.

" Look Percy, you have real potential here. truly. now, what I'm about to say I wouldn't say unless I really believed in you, but I have a feeling that if you keep up the good work in the swim and keep impressing the coaches WHILE working to bring your other grades up.. you could get a swimming scholarship for college." By the time he had finished speaking, I had gone from feeling kind of hopeless to completely ecstatic.

 " Wait, you're joking right??!" I asked in a daze. He smiled and shook his head no

 " Get to class Perseus, and have a good rest of your day," I remember leaving his office with a stupid smile. I felt proud of myself. The feeling quickly died as the bell rang and people started shoving around to get to class, I put on my black hoodie and my headphones and silently got to my first-period class. 

By the time lunch had rolled around, I slid out of class and headed to the library, when I arrived I noticed Annabeth silently sniffling behind the History shelf as she stared at her phone. It hurt me seeing her beautiful eyes filled with tears, but I couldn't try to comfort her. Nobody would ever allow the scary emo skater to come near the beautiful princess, let alone try to comfort her. I barely knew her anyway. I sighed and sat on one of the beanbags and plugged my headphones in to drain out the world.

( A/N- Hey !! I know this was kind of a bad start but I promise it'll get better! Don't really have a plan on what's going to happen between the two, just kind of typing what comes into mind. Let me know any ideas or suggestions! Constructive criticism is welcome, just no hate please <3)
