"Come on, Annabeth." My friend exclaimed as we walked through the halls. I gave an exasperated sigh.

"I've told you before and I will tell you again, it's not gonna happen." Christine looked at me with big brown eyes. She had light brown hair alone with naturally tanner skin. She had on a white shirt with a rusty red jacket over jeans.

The two of us walked through the halls together. We usually had just one more friend because we were both new to the school. None of my other friends from my summer camp actually knew I had gotten kicked out of my old school. Especially not my boyfriend. I used to go to this all girls boring school but I had a little incident were I attacked the lunch lady.

The thing is I didn't actually attack a lunch lady, I attacked a figure from Greek mythology called "Lamia" who was disguised a lunch lady by the Mist. The reason I knew this is because I am a demi-god. I am daughter of Athena and all the Greek gods are real.

The Lamia is a woman who was driven mad by Hera (figures) and eventually started eating her own children. She was disguised as a lunch lady at my school trying to get food other then serve it. So I saved the life of all the girls at my school and I get kicked out for that. Any way now I'm at a co-ed boarding school.

Well the thing is it is semi- boarding school because some children could stay at the dorms but others could stay at their homes. Both Christine and me both stayed at the dorms and we were actually roommates. That was actually the way we met. Our other friend Jenifer was staying with her parents in the city.

"Well why not." She said still amazed at my answer.

"Because, he's not my type." I said simply as we turned a corner heading to class. We were talking about the supposedly hottest guy in school Jake Martin. He also happened to be the school swimming and soccer champion. Our school didn't have many good sports so this being he was the most popular guy in school.

"Which guy issssss your type." She pointed out. "You've turned down every single guy that's asked you out this year." She complained.

" Well by if this year you mean two months because it's only September something. " I said as in a madder of fact way even if i didn't know the exact date of today. She sighed dramatically.

"Still already twelve, extremely cute, guys have asked you out and you turned them all down." She continued. I couldn't believe she was still on this considering I had turned down Jake almost twelve hours ago. The The real reason i turned them all down was i arealdy had a boyfriend, I just didn't tell anyone at my new school. I don't know why, but i did. Though in moments like this i wish i could just to shut her up.

I was about to give her another excuse about why I turned down the schools hottie when a familiar dimpled face came right in my path making me have to back up so I didn't smash into him.

"Hey." Said the face of none other than Jake Martin. He had lightly tanned skin from all those hours in the pool and on the soccer field. His hair was a dark ambered color and his eyes were a stunning shade of hazel. I had to admit he was fairly handsome but I could think of many things I didn't like about him.

"So I know you said 'no' yesterday but I'm guessing you were just shy." He said giving me a large smile. Speaking of things I didn't like about him, conceited was pretty high on the list.

"Not really" I huffed as I pushed past him but he started walking in synch his smile not faltering.

"Oh, come Annabeth you know you want to." He said in an arrogant tone with that stupid smile on his face. I tried to speed up in a way that said, 'get away from me you freak' but apparently it didn't work. He continued to follow me to my locker. I nearly ripped the locker off its hinges. He peeked his head around the side of it still persisting.

"Oh Annie," he said trying to sweet talk me, which infuriated me more.

"Don't call me that." My eyes turning into slits, and with that I grabbed the last of my books and stormed down the hall.

I met up with Christine who was no doubt watching from a distance.

"What was that?" She asked annoyed as I walked away.

"Me turning down a boy." I said plainly.

"Annabeth." A voice said from across the hall. Thankfully it was the voice if my friend Jen and not Jake and thankfully it was just in time to stop Christine from ranting about turning down the 'hottest boy in school'.

"What's up?" I said as she jogged up to us. She was wearing dark purple skinny jeans with a plain white t-shirt and above the ankle converse. She smiled as she approached, a smile that told me she was up to something.

"Hey," she said nonchalant but it was obvious she was excited about something. Both Christine and me looked at each other then back to Jen.

"K, spill the beans girlfriend." Chris said plainly wearing a 'were about to have to listen to you drown on and on about some awesome thing you know that we don't'. I was impressed she could fit all that into a single face so I did the same but mine had a small smirk to it.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Jen said innocently and started to walk down the hall. It was defiantly obvious she was lying and wanted us to know she was. We walked into step with her, knowing we were about to get into some big deal where she would act like she didn't want to tell us something she really did and was trying to drag it out as long as possible. We reached her locker but as she lifted her hand to open it I slammed my hand into the locker blocking her.

"Just get on with it Jen." I complained. "Ok, fine." She said in a Drama Queen way that made it again obvious she was excited to tell us.

"Ok, so you'll never believe what happened." She squealed and I rolled my eyes preparing for the torture. This happened often considering Jen's dad is the founder of this school. So this being, we suffered through story after story about how the lunch lady was dating the gym teacher or that we were getting new stall doors in the girls bathroom next year.

"So I over heard my dad talking on the phone," she said taking a dramatic pause. "And I hear that we are getting a new student, today!" She finished. "So?" I replied flatly, waiting for the exciting part. Christine, however, squealed with joy.

"Oh, this is perfect." She announced getting a big nod from Jen.

"Why?" I questioned though I couldn't care less about the topic.

"Because," Chris said overagsagerating the word," you've been unattracted to every guy at this school." I arched an eyebrow. "So maybe you'll like him." Jen finished for her smiling. I scoffed.

"I thoroughly doubt it." I said flatly. The two girls rolled their eyes playfully.

"I'll see you after class." I told them walking off considering our first two classes for C day (which was today) were all different. S with that I headed off to Advisory then chemistry. The rest of the day was a complete bore. I had my next two classes Chemistry with Jen and P.E. with both of them. At lunch I heard that the new kid was indeed a boy and acoording to Jen was "SOOOOO HOT". (scuff) After lunch though things started to pick up. It was my last class and I had history. I sat at the back of the room like usual. I had noticed that after lunch I had the new kid in a few of my classes. I didn't know for sure what he looked like because being new the teachers would ask him to sit in the front row for the day and he would always keep his head down. I assumed he had been introduced at his own advisory considering none of the teachers really paid to much attention to him.

He had long, black but tasseled hair but that was about all I could tell because his arms were covered by a hoodie and he kept his head down a lot. Though from the talk in the halls I heard he was incredibly hot or something.

A few more things I noticed was that Haley Gambly had taken a particular interest in the new kid. She would keep looking at him in a way that was very inappropriate but I was got used to the school whore by now. And I know thinking whore she sleep with every single guy but honestly she was very picky. It was when she found a worth guy that the whore part would come in. I tried to get settled as she flipped her strait red hair, for the tenth time since she sat down, at him.

Another thing I noticed is this guy was pretty spaced out. He would just look out the window most of the time but once in a while I saw his taking peeks at something in his notebook, probably something that would embarrass him cause then he'd immediately close it.

I settled in and our teacher began to speak. "Today we are beginning a new chapter in history." He said under his mustache. "One of the most exciting and fascinating topics in the history of history." He said trying to make a joke, one that went ignored by the bored teens. "Ancient Greece." At this I immediately perked up to hear. The strange thing was so did the new kid. His head flew up from his notebook and he started listening with a new fascination, though the groans of the class told they didn't agree. 'Cool, I guess he likes mythology' I though then just shrugged it off and continued to listen. " You will all work in partners to find out what you can about this topic before we actually discuss it in class." The class stirred in excitement, but immediately groaned again when he announced that he would be picking the partners. "They will be assigned after class though." He said then continued to lecture about the country of Greece. I tuned it out considering I already knew everything there was to know about this stuff and started scanning the class for someone I would like to be my partner. Hmm, Nancy is pretty smart, I thought looking through the class. I guess I would want to be partnered with Cameron my semi friend who I would sometimes sit by at the library. The new kid maybe, I thought. Nahh, I don't need to get involved with any other guys considering almost every guy at the school tried to hit on me already.

Apparenty after turning down about 7 guys i got this reputation that i was unattainable, that i would never accept a date. So this being i became a "prize" of some sort to the boys. The hottest, cutest, most athletic, and even Jake the most popular started taking interest in me. This sickened me but i never had actual proof i could use as a reason to bang their head in. My mind wandered.

It accrued to me for someone so interested in the topic before he was again zoning out staring at his notebook. So I just started doodling some architecture stuff in my notebook and before I knew it class was over. Apparently I had missed when he was calling out partners, absorbed in my drawing. I heard groans and got a couple of angry stares from all the other girls for some reason. The new kid's head sprung up too as if also surprised by the bell. With that the class started filing out talking about whom they got for their partner. I gathered up my stuff but ended up being one of the last ones out.

"Mr. White?" I asked my history teacher. He looked up from his desk as the last of the kids padded out of the room. "I was wondering who my partner was. I got a little, uh distracted." I told him turning red. He smiled warmly at me, considering I was his best and favorite student. "

"Ah yes of course." He said looking into his notebook. "You have Mr." he started. I got kind of disappointed it was a guy. I did hear Mr. White telling us something about working together outside of school and I really didn't need my boyfriend getting jealous. He scrambled through his notebook not being able to find the page.

"Um, I believe you have the new kid." He said obviously needing his nook to remember his name.

"Thank you Mr. White" I said as I headed out the door to go find my new partner. I tried looking for him just to tell him that I would do all the work and there was no need for us to get together over the weekend.

I spotted him outside with his back towards me, leaning on a redining tree, still looking inside his notebook. I walked over to him dreading what cheesy line he would try to use on me, something i was all to used to.

Hey, I told myself. Maybe he's a good guy. I should at least give him a chance.

With that I walked over to him and tapped his shoulder. He slammed the notebook shut as if to make sure no one could see what was inside of it. Then he spun around to face me and I was standing twelve inches from that black haired, green-eyed boy I knew to well. His majestic green orbs expanded along with mine.

"Percy?"
