Annabeths POV

I've been here for a while, long enough to already be marked as a smart, "beautiful" junior. God, that makes me want to gag. It's been seven months since I've transferred from San Francisco. I've made friends with kids from every group it seems. Thalia and Nico from the Emos/Goths (don't tell them I said that though.) I have Frank, Jason, Piper, and Reyna as my athletic friends, Leo the insane mechanic, and finally Grover and Hazel from the dorks/smart kids. Frank plays football as a linebacker, which makes him sound intimidating, but he has a big Asian baby face and he tends to look and act like a big teddy bear. Jason plays on both the football, as wide receiver, and the basketball team, as a shooting guard. He's 6'4 with a light, tan muscled body and golden hair, he looks like a god. Now Piper is beautiful. She's Mr. God's girlfriend and they top any celebrity couple when it comes to looks. She has what looks like a dark tan, due to her Native American ancestry and these amazing eyes that seem to be every color of the rainbow. Her hair is a mix of blonde and light brown and she has this cute multicolored feather in her hair at all times. Reyna is from Latin American, so she's a chocolaty skin toned, she has these deep dark brown eyes, and long midnight black hair is that is always in a braid. She plays soccer as a center midfielder and let's just say she good, really good. Like good enough to be sponsored by Adidas and be scouted by around a hundred different teams around the world. Nico and Thalia actually look very similar, both love the color black, have milky white skin, and seem to always have ear buds or headphones in or on. Thalia, who surprisingly plays volleyball, has electric blue eyes and spiky black hair while Nico, this one I can see coming but he is in band as the drummer, has deep dark hair that Is a little curly but he never keeps it long enough for it to really show and he has these deep dark voids of black for eyes. Finally we get to Hazel and Grover, both of them are African-American but Grover is light skinned with an afro, and Hazel is dark with long curly hair, and golden orbs of light for eyes.

"Hey. Annabeth. Annabeth! ANNABETH!"

"What?" I say startled.

"That was the bell for lunch," says Thalia," come on."

As we walk down the hall I start to notice something. The halls are unusually quiet and still. That's when I see him. Raven black hair, a face that looks like it's been chiseled out of stone, and the most broken yet prettiest set of eyes I've ever seen. His eyes are like the ocean, swilling constantly. We lock eyes and I can feel my heart stop. I feel Thalia tense up beside me.

"Come on."

"What why?" I said as follow her into the bathroom.

"That's Percy-Fucking-Jackson, my cousin and ex-bestfriend." She says once we get in there.

"I think he's gone now, let's go." How could the Adonis that I just saw be the fabled Percy Jackon?

Percy POV

I just woke up. I'm in my 2007 Mustang v6 and I smell like a billion different aromas. The most prominent are the Jack Daniels and cigarettes. I look down at my left wrist to see a new tattoo. What in the hell possessed me to get a cross? Well fuck it, to fuckin late now. I smoke a cigarette then I get in my car and start driving. I'm now playing my favorite game, let my instincts take me somewhere. Today it take me to school. God I don't want to be here. I haven't been here since that fight in sop—no, don't think about it. I take a long swig of Jack and smoke one last cigarette before I go in. They still part and look at me with hate. Whatever I don't like any of you assholes anyway. I have ear buds in as I wonder the halls because I don't know what classes I have anyway. "Jack Daniels" by Mike Stud is playing and I now wish I had brought the bottle with me.

"HEY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE? HUH? YOU FUCKING MURDERING BASTARD!" yells Ethan as he glares at me. I choose to ignore him. He doesn't like that very much and before he comes at me, his friends hold him back. I keep walking.

I find myself at the pool in the gym. Funny that even though it's been a year, I can still come here on instinct. I throw off my shirt and pants and dive in. I'm on my third lap, thinking about that pretty blonde from yesterday. She's friends with Thalia so she's probably been told every single bad thing that they can think of, but damn she was sexier than Aphrodite and those eyes. God damn those fucking eyes. Those cold grey whirlpools pools of intelligence and calculations. She was so fucking hot, definition of hour glass, nice tits and a big sexy ass. Plus she had those perfect princess curls that would just be so easy to pull her from as- ahhh stop, Percy, we don't need that right now. Okay time to get out of the pool, and away from my thoughts.

I'm now walking down the hall again and then BOOM! There were books flying everywhere, and a rather loud yelp was accompanying it.

"Owe, what the hell?" I exclaimed as I starting rubbing the back of my now throbbing skull. I look up, and well, as the expression goes, speak of the devil and she shall appear. I guess in this case it's more like think of the devil but details details.

"Hey are you okay?"

"Yeah I good," I say while gathering some of the books, since she still had her eyes closed from the pain of a wall, "what about you?"

I think she kinda recognizes my voice because her eyes suddenly snap open, "Oh it's you…"

"So you know me? And yet you haven't scurried off?"

"I know you reputation, or at least a little of it. I know Thalia hates you for some reason."

"You mean that whole group hates me." I say with a little softer. I recognize one of the books.

"Harry potter? I loved those books… Hey could I borrow this?" I can see the conflict in her eyes before she finally says, "As long as you promise to return it back in the same condition and before the end of the month."

"I promise."

I'm going to be very honest this is actually the first ever story that I've written and I would appreciate ways to make this better as well as more ideas to expand upon. I did enjoy letting my mind roam free while I do this. Also I came up with this while listening to the song 'Jack Daniels' by Mike Stud
