Demigod High

Annabeth's POV

Goode High School, it's my first day. I'm the new girl. AGAIN. This is the 5th school in 5 years. Who knows, I might be here longer than a year this time. It's VERY unlikely.

"Annabeth!" Helen, my step-mom yelled, "You're going to be late for your first day."

"The later the better," I mutter. I pulled on an orange sleeveless top and jeans then I trudged down the stairs. I went up to Helen and screamed, "COMING!" in her ear. Then I sat down to eat breakfast. The usual cereal. School starts at 8:20, its only 7:45 now. Still, I scoffed down my breakfast and retreated to my room. First impressions matter, I don't want to look like a zombie on the first day. Being the daughter of Athena, the day should be a breeze, lesson-wise. But I'm going to have to make sure to stay clear of monsters. I hope I'm going to make some friends; I don't exactly want to be a loner. I glanced at the clock. Is it already 8:11?

"You'd better go now if you don't want to be late," My father said. The twins were running around in circles in the kitchen and Helen was trying to tame them.

"Oh, fine!" I say, slightly exasperated. I went to my room, grabbed my pack and bolted out the door.

Luckily, the school was only about two minutes away. I looked up at the building; it wasn't the best-made place, but the architecture was ok. I probably wasn't paying attention to where I was heading, as I bumped into someone. "Uh, sorry!" I apologized, and I realized I fell under… a boy! How embarrassing. He had jet-black hair that stuck out at different angles. His sea green eyes shone and I couldn't help but to stare into them. He wore a green top and normal jeans, but I'd figure he'd look good in practically everything. He was EXTREMELY hot. No, Annabeth, hot guys like this probably already have girlfriends. Urgh! I can't believe I'm falling for this "I'm sorry, but do you mind?" I asked the boy, "I. Can't. Breathe!"

He must have been in a trance as well as when I spoke to him, he shuddered like I'd slapped him. "Oh, yeah, sorry." He said rolling off from on top of me. He offered he his hand, and helped me up. "I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." I blushed and looked down.

"I'm Annabeth, Annabeth Chase." I replied, lifting my silver backpack off of the ground. Percy held his hand out and I shook it. His hand was strong and sturdy as well as soft and warm. I literally melted.

"You're the new girl, right?" he asked me, I nodded. "Well then, it seems that you're the one replacing Ethan."

"Sorry, who?" I asked, and he just laughed.

"Just the person sitting next to me for every lesson but P.E." he said, as it was the best thing on Earth. He smiled at me and I couldn't help but to smile back, not to mention blushing wildly. So, he was telling me that we would be sitting together for every lesson. NO, Annabeth. NO, NO, NO AND NO! There will be no falling for very hot guys on the first day, especially this KIND and good-looking guy.

Ever heard the expression: 'saved by the bell'? Well, that's literally what happened. We would've been late, and I could really stare into those eyes all day. Then I mentally face palmed myself out of this… daze.

"You'd better go to Mr. D, the head." Percy motioned for me to follow him. Mr. D. I know that name from somewhere.

"OK." I followed him into the building. It was way more impressive inside than out. As we made our way to the head's office, I caught a boy with sand coloured hair staring at me. Luckily, we had arrived at Mr. D's office and Percy guided me inside. My eyes opened wide in shock, I was staring into the eyes of the most annoying Demigod camp director. "B-but how?"
