Hi guys! So this is my first official fanfiction, I tried one in the past and it was totally horrible! Anyway, this is a high school fan fic with the PJO characters. I know you're thinking that it sounds so generic, but I have so many twists and I guarantee that you'll enjoy it. I'm sorry if it's terrible because I'm a bad writer but I like writing, so it kinda sucks for me…
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Annabeth POV
I look out of Thalia's convertible whilst daydreaming about all of the things that could go wrong this year at Goode high. For starters, Luke could start bothering me about our messy break up last year. Or, perhaps I could do something totally embarrassing and it could be published in the school's unofficial magazine that's run by the media club as a gossip hub.
I promised myself that nothing bad could happen this year, I won't make the same mistakes, I'll try harder. This year, I'm going to be me.
Percy POV
Great, first day and I'm already late. First, it was the shower of kisses from my mum, the extensive traffic and now being held up looking for a parking spot. I made a mental note to wake up before everyone else in the apartment so I wouldn't be held up again.
After finally finding a parking space, I made my way to the school reception and signed in and got my timetable. Apparently, everyone else had received theirs on the last day of term, something to do with getting to know your classmates over the summer so the teacher can get straight into teaching and skip the introductory lessons.
I looked at my timetable and saw that I had algebra with Miss. Dodds first, then band with Mr. Apollo, Home economics with Mr. Pan and finally a free period. I had asked the receptionist what we do in free periods and she told me that you have to either study in the library, or join an extracurricular activity. I knew on the spot I was going to try out for the swim team. Swimming has been my passion since my Mum first took me to the compulsory lessons that were taught at kindergarten. The bell ringing signalled an end to my swimming fantasy as I tried to push my way through the bustling crowds in the halls.
Annabeth POV
Thalia, Piper, Hazel and I all organised meeting points for lunch and headed off to home room. This year, I was in Mr. Brunner's form. Aparently, the new boy was too, as I found out after walking into the room and sitting down just as the bell went. I didn't realise Thalia was behind me when I stopped and scoured the room for potential jerks.
"Ouch!" Thalia complained whilst she banged into me.
"Sorry," I mumbled, trying not to break my stare with the boy at the back of the room.
"Thals," I whispered, nodding my head in Luke's direction as we sat down at our desks.
"Oh my gods Annie! Why can't that douche bag leave you alone?"
"I don't know! Last I heard he was in Mr. Apollo's form this year."
"He must've transferred last minute to be closer to get to you!"
"Oh gods, no!" The conversation went on like this until Mr. Brunner broke the noise down after stopping talking to a guy with dark hair. He must be the new guy. I thought whilst arranging my papers in my folders.
"Class, this is Percy Jackson, he's transferred here from Delphi high. I hope you'll all do your best to make him feel welcome. Percy, go and sit next to Jason Grace, Leo Valdez and Frank Zhang. Boys, you'll be Percy's guides for the day. Okay, let's get started then shall we? Roll call…"
Percy POV
After home room, I was led to my next class by the three guys that were going to be my 'guides' for the day.
"So," the blonde dude called Jason said, "Any hobbies? What are you going to do in free period today?"
"I was thinking about trying for the swim team. It's kind of my passion, what about you guys?"
"We're on the team, apart from Valdez," Frank said.
"Tech club is much more macho, swimming in tight speedos whilst the ladies are watching, not cool bro, not cool" Leo taunted.
"Whatever man, whatever" Jason replied, "So, our first lesson is algebra, it kinda sucks because mrs. Dodds wears clothes covered in mothballs, smells like she hasn't showered in a thousand years and has many, many hairs in places that shouldn't be possible for a woman…"
"That sounds great." I said sarcastically, "Anyway, off the depressing subjects, what else do you do for fun?"
"Well," Leo started, wiggling his eyebrows at Jason, "Gracey here, has a girlfriend. She's called Piper Mclean, Frank is basically in a relationship with Hazel Levesque and I am a free spirit because all da ladies love leo!"
"He once wired the scoring board for the swim meet-ups to say that!" Frank added.
"Coming back to the whole 'basically' story Leo was telling me. What does he mean?" I asked.
"Well, Frank here, hangs out with Hazel a lot. They're just pretty shy." Jason interjected before Frank could say anything. From the other end of the hall I could hear muffled jeering and shouting, maybe it was a drama practice? I didn't ask the others what it was. Frank was going a bit red, but luckily I noticed we had reached the class just as the bell rung. A blonde girl barged out of the room in quite a state.
Jason asked her whether she was okay but she just replied with whatever and ran off.
Annabeth POV
I reached Algebra early, so I opened my bag to find my papers but accidentally dropped them all on the floor. Thalia was quickly going to the office to ask about something she had lost at the end of last year, so I was on my own. Just as I was about to lean down to grab them all, a pale white hand leant down to help me. I looked up and saw the school's quiet emo guy, Nico DiAngelo helping me.
"You dropped these?" He asked.
"Yes, thanks for the help." I replied awkwardly as I took them back.
"No problem" He said.
When he had sat down at the back of the room, fading into the shadow of the filing cabinet, blending with the surroundings, Luke and his posse strutted in, knocking over my desk in the process.
"Oops, sorry Annabitch," He said, adding as much malice as possible into the words.
"What the hell Luke?" I exclaimed.
"It was an accident," He replied simply.
"Yeah right! I broke up with you last year because you were a douche bag! You're horrible to everyone and everything, you slack off and bully my friends. I thought it would stop this year, clearly not. Go and find someone else to bully! I don't care and I'm never going to get back together with you, you, you…"
"Can't think of any insults Annabitch?"
I stormed out of the room signalling a rude hand sign as I went. I stormed past the new guy with his 'guides'.
"Annabeth, are you okay?" Jason asked, concerned.
"Whatever." I replied, running to the bathroom.
