My Life as Annabeth
(COMPLETED) Hi, my name is Annabeth Montgomery. I live in a small town where I'm constantly being watched and judged upon wherever I go. I'm not ignorant to the stares that I know follow me when I'm not looking, and I'm not gentle when I catch them. Everyone has a different perspective when it comes to me... I'm either the hero or the villain in their story. _________________________________________ Parents admire her, fear her, sympathize with her. Girls want to be her, admire her, fear her, and avoid her. Guys are a different subject, wanting to be with her and claim her is every guys fantasy. The only problem is she doesn't look twice at a guy... That was until Nathan, the sweet cute boy in town shows up. Turning everything she knows out the window for one romantic yet hectic summer. __ This story is based out of a dream I had about myself. I did my best remembering the specifics of the dream and added on (making sure to change my name). If you are looking for a not so average love story then feel free to read my story. Be aware that this story does contain mature content and language. If you're not a fan of swearing I wouldn't recommend reading this story.Complete
