High School (Percabeth AU)

Chapter 1/First days are the worst... but not this time!

A/N ~ Quick heads up: this is an edited chapter. Anyway, good day/night/afternoon.

Annabeth's POV

I'm lying on something soft and warm. I don't know how I got here but I know I'm in danger, so I get up.

All around me I see trees. Nothing else, just trees for miles and miles. The thing I was lying on was mud. Ew.

I turn around, having no idea where I am. Then I see light in the distance. It's faint, but I can see it. I start to run to it.

At first, when I get too close to it, it gets even further away from me. But then it stops and I stop with it, wondering why it did so.

That's when I notice something behind the ball of light. I squint to see better what's behind it. Then I see a hand reach for the light. It got a little closer to the light, so I could see it clearly now. It was a person. And this person had the same face as me.

I had just enough time to see her face before she touched the light and everything went black.

I woke up feeling sweat all over my face. Thank god, It was only just a dream. 

I got up slowly, feeling dizzy. That's normal for me. I picked out an outfit for my first day in the new school. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Mostly nervous.

Things didn't go well with my last school...or any school for that matter.

But I'm gonna try my best to fit in and keep my head down and if that doesn't work, I always have a plan B.

I get dressed and go downstairs to eat breakfast.

My dad is already there, looking into the fridge. He looks up and sees me.

"Hey, kiddo! Up already?" He says. "Thought you'd sleep in a little longer. It's only 6 am."

"Well, guess I was too excited to sleep. What about you? Don't you need you're beauty sleep, 'The great history professor Fredrick Chase'?" I tease him.

"Ha ha. For your information I was finishing up some work left yesterday." he says defensively. "So, what do you want for breakfast?"

*     Time Skip   *

I'm sitting in my dad's car, just outside the school doors, fiddling with my ring and I would do anything other than go through those doors.

I wave and say goodbye to my dad as I get out of the car. I walk a few steps before I reach the stairs, shaking the whole way.

My first day at my new school. Here I go. I push open the doors. 

The first thing I see is people walking down the halls, all of them chatting with each other.

I take out the schedule that my dad gave me out of my bag and look at it.

First Period - English/Room 101

I walk up to the nearest person, tap them on the shoulder and ask "Excuse me, but can you tell me where room 101 is?".

He turns around and laughs, like what I said was the funniest thing he ever heard.

When he calms down a little, he tells me "Oh. You're serious. Yeah. It's down the hall called nania...nania business!".

laughter erupts from the guys behind him. Ah. So these guys are the jocks of the school. A.K.A. school bullies, A.K.A. a bunch of idiots.
