I'm not going to say much now, but please forgive me for the terrible first few chapters. I promise that they'll [probably] get better as there become more and more, but for now…yeah.

Not a lot of these are going to be one of those typical 'mean girl likes Percy, sees Annabeth' stories, or vice versa. Maybe there will be one or two, and the occasional 'teenage relationship drama', but I have to admit, though I love fluffy stories, I have yet to ever experience anything bigger than minor crushing, let alone love, so forgive me. The closest I've ever been is fangirling, or thinking that someone is kinda cute, but never real people, only people from books, movies, or TV (The only crushes I've ever had are on Leo Valdez and Beast Boy). For the majority of these stories…well, you'll have to read to find out! (Appealing to your curiosity? It's called a hustle, sweetheart!)

I will have chapters focusing on other couples, not just Percabeth, but the majority will most likely be them. If you have any ideas for any chapters, please leave in a review. Zeus knows I need help.

Disclaimer: I own nothing you recognise.

Hi. My name is Matthew, but you can call me Matt. So, this really weird thing happened at school today, and if you want to know what, you can keep reading.

I go to a school called Goode. In my class there's a boy named Percy. I'm not really friends with him, never got to know him, seeing as we only have homeroom together, and while I usually sit with my friends at lunch, he mostly just sits alone.

After school I usually go straight home, but today I was late, cos my teacher made me stay back to catch up on some of the homework I missed when I was home sick (I don't know if this is how schools work in the US, but it's like this in my school). I was heading to the school gates, walking past the bathroom, when I heard a voice that sounded like Percy's. It seemed like he was talking to someone else, but that was ridiculous, everyone knew he didn't have a phone! I pressed my ear to the door, but it made a loud noise. I heard Percy's voice say swiftly and sharply, "Malcom, I've got to go. See you at camp."

Camp? What camp? I stood at the door debating whether or not to run and pretend I was never there, or confront him and ask. My decision was made by Percy coming out of the bathroom, and bluntly asking me, "How much did you hear?"

"Uh…" I stuttered. I thought about lying, but something in his eyes told me that he'd know immediately. "I heard you saying something about a camp…and a…demisomething needing to be 'collected'" His facial features hardened, his eyes giving me a stony glare.

"And you're sure that's all you heard?" Fearfully, I nodded. He stared at me for a while longer, then said, "Okay. Thalia's not here, or I would make sure that you didn't remember. But for now, I guess you know little enough. But if you ever mention this conversation to anyone, I'll send you to Hades. I tried my hardest not to whimper, though I think I might have. It wasn't 'till later that I realised that he had said 'Hades' instead of 'hell'. Odd. Very odd. I decided to try and put it out of my mind.

After that, I didn't really interact with Percy at all again, I just knew that there was a lot more to him than I may have though before.

Sorry for the short chapter, the further into the story a chapter is, the longer it'll be. I'm still new to this 'writing stories' thing, so my writing may be a little funny to start with. I'll update more or less regularly on weekends, and on weekdays when I have time. 'Till then, my lovelies! 'Till then…
