Annabeth P.O.V
It was a normal Monday morning…again.
God, can this year go any slower?
I got out of bed needing a shower. Just a normal day, I told myself. What would it make today any different from any other day?
I was standing in front of the sink, staring at myself in the mirror. Curly blonde hair and the reason almost nobody took me seriously. Gray eyes, sometimes in a particular light that looked silver.
I wore my favorite jeans a white tank top and my black converse. I got my messenger bag and phone then headed to the kitchen. I never ate breakfast, but for some reason I grabbed an apple and I was out of the door for school.
On the car, as I pulled away from my driveway, I got a text from Thalia, my best friend. She said she was waiting in front of my locker and that she had some "hot" news to share.
I parked the car and on the way to my locker I was thinking what the "hot" news could be. When Thalia saw me, the first thing she said was "Did you hear?"
God she was really excited. "Hello, Thalia it's good to see you too."
She gave me the don't-bullshit-with-me look, so I sighed and asked "Okay, what?" Her eyes widened and she asked, "You really don't know, do you?"
I sighed again and gave her a look that said obviously-I-don't-know.
She looked behind her to check if anybody was there, lowered her voice and said "Luke Castellan is here!"
"And I'm supposed to know who that is?" I questioned her.
"He is a hot guy that transferred to our school. Every girl here has a crush on him."
I shook my head, "I'm so not having a crush on him. I don't even know the guy, but you obviously are into him." And the look in her face told me I was right.
Finally, Thalia Grace has a crush on someone. That's a first. She just looked at me and started walking to our first class, English, and I followed her.
I wasn't paying attention in class, I was thinking that new guy, Luke. Who was that guy anyway to capture the attention of my best friend. Thalia, an emo-goth girl with black hair and blue electric eyes, hating –sort of- any guy she know. I couldn't exactly call it hate, she just wasn't very found of them.
I really need to meet this guy who gut under her skin and made her fall for him.
Percy P.O.V
This year can't go any slower. I thought though it was still a month since school started again. But here I am, sitting in class, doing Math. I hate Math and my ADHD isn't helping either.
Two minutes before the bell rings. I wish I could find a way to move it faster. And YES. Finally out. Thank god! Next class Greek with Mr. Brunner, my favorite subject. In there we talk about Greece and The Ancient Gods of Olympus.
It's fascinating.
On my way to my locker I run into Grover. He is my best friend, a little shorter than me with brown curly hair and brown eyes. Plus he has a thing with the environment. "Hey, man" he greeted me when he saw me. I asked him how his first period but he just shook his head and kept walking.
He waited me to get my books from my locker and we went to our next class and sat in silence. I knew something was up with Grover. I was about to ask as Mr. Brunner came in with his wheelchair.
"So today, kids, you will take one of the Olympians, god of goddess each, also minor ones like Nemesis, Goddess of Revenge. I will call out your names you will get.
Annabeth Chase, Athena.
Thalia Grace, Zeus.
Jason Grace, Hera.
Piper McLean, Aphrodite.
Leo Valdez, Hephaestus.
Frank Zhang, Ares.
Clarisse LaRue, Nemesis.
Grover Underwood, Pan.
Percy Jackson, Poseidon."
After all of us had a god, Mr. Brunner said to cooperate with each other to write a paragraph about there story and achievements together. To do that, we had 10 minutes then we would sit with someone else and so that all over again. The first 20 minutes were easy. Then we changed sits again and I was with Annabeth Chase, the most smart, blond girl ever known and maybe the most beautiful girl in here, but I would never admit that to her.
As soon as I sat next to her, I almost yelled "Annabeth Chase." She looked at me with shock and maybe a little fear too.
Annabeth P.O.V
I heard someone sit next to me and as I was about to turn and say my name and the goddess I had, I heard him almost yelling my name. I turned quickly to him shocked and a little scared that he knew my name only a month after school started this year.
When I saw his face I saw a sea-green eyed guy with raven hair, grinning at me. When I finally found my voice I asked "How do you know my name?"
He smiles, "You wrote an essay about Poseidon and Athena last week, also we have P.E. and History together."
What? I did wrote that essay and read it in front of the whole class but nobody remembered me.
Except him, obviously.
And who is he? He is hot! With those sea-green eyes, that make you want to look at them all day, with his matching jet black hair.
And we have two other classes together.
How didn't I know this?
"So you remember my from reading the essay?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Of course I do. Poseidon in my favorite god! I'm Percy Jackson by the way." He laughed and I shook my head.
"So what do you know about Poseidon and Athena?" And just like that I brought us back to class.
For some reason Mr. Brunner let us out early and I started walking down the hall to my locker.
Just then I noticed that someone was walking with me. I looked up and there he was again, Percy.
Why can't he leave me alone? Can't he see that I'm attracted to him and that I need time to think?
"You stalking me now too?" I pretended to be scared.
He laughed "No I'm walking you to your locker and then P.E.. We have that class in common, remember?" At that he rolled his eyes.
I just shook my head and kept walking.
Why was I so interested in him I have no idea! But I intended to find out.
