BEEP BEEP BEEP

Groaning, I slammed my hand on the alarm clock, "Ugh, I'm so not a morning person." I thought. Just then, realization hit me. I'm going to see Percy. I'm going to see my Seaweed Brain.

I got up and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I immediately changed my clothes and looked at the mirror. I wore a blue shirt with an owl print on it, blue jeans and my grey converse. I also wore my camp necklace with my father's ring on it. "Good enough", I thought. I went down and grabbed my backpack, ready to go.

The walk to school was short since I lived in an a few blocks from it. Just when I entered the school, it seemed like everybody stared at me. It was so awkward but being a demigod, I got used to it. Some wolf-whistled on my way to the principal's office. Of course, those were the jocks, or should I say idiots in the school. I did the natural thing to do. I glared at them making them back away in fear.

"Thank Gods", I murmured as I opened the door to the principal's office. I was greeted with a smile by the principal's secretary. "Hello, may I help you?" the lady said with a gentle smile.

"Hi, I'm Annabeth Chase. I'm the new student." I said, smiling. "oh, yes! Welcome to Goode High! Here's your class schedule and your locker number." She said while handing me two pieces of paper. "Would you like someone to show you around? You might get lost in the campus." She said with sincerity. I smiled and said "No Thanks. I know someone who goes here." I turned to leave and headed out into the hallway, thinking of that person.

I searched for my locker for what seemed like days for a teenager who's got ADHD. Then, in a split second, I finally found my locker. "Finally!" I thought. While I was walking towards it, everything, and I mean every noise, died down. Just when I got to my locker, I heard some girls murmuring a few meters from me.

"Oh my Gosh! It's HIM!

"Who?"

"Oh, you know, nothing. Just the #1 Hottest Guy in Goode High! He's the captain of the swim team and he's so HOT!"

I just rolled my eyes while putting some things away. "I wonder if he's already here?" I thought. I laughed at myself for even considering the fact. "Like he'd even be this early." I smiled, remembering the times I watched him sleep. He looked so cute and peaceful like he never had fought any of those wars and monsters. Like he was just happy with his life.

My trail of thought was interrupted by numerous shouting and giggles by the girls. I sighed, having gotten used to this. Just then, I had an idea. "Well, since Seaweed Brain's probably still asleep, might as well see if this person they call the 'Hottest Guy in Goode' any more handsome than Percy. I bet he's got nothing on him. I mean, uh, with all that demigod training and fighting, he's surely be muscular, not that I care." I said in my head. I couldn't help but blush at the thought of Percy's …. muscularity. Let's just use that word. I know you know what I mean. Going back to reality, I squished passed all the people to a place where I could see who it was.

What I saw shocked me the most. "Him? He's the Hottest Guy in Goode? Him being captain of the swim team, I can understand, but Hottest Guy? Really? And he didn't tell me. Then, a thought hit me like a million brick walls. If he's the Hottest Guy in Goode, Majority, if not all, of the girls want him. I felt anger inside of me. Or is it something else? I shrugged, trying to calm myself down. "Relax, Annabeth. It's not like Percy could cheat on you. You could kill him so easily." I told myself. "But you wouldn't do that because you like him too much and you've gone through so much." A voice said in my head. "Ugh, please Aphrodite. Get out of my head!" I said, recognizing who would tell that to me.

I was brought back to reality by the sound of his laughter. I turned to look at the direction from where the voice came. I saw a hint of raven-black hair and I instantly knew it was him. There's only one guy in this whole universe that has that messy black hair. I wanted to just run up to him and hug him right then and there. I missed him so much. But, I didn't. Instead, I did what any Daughter of Athena would do. I made a plan.

I'm impressed. I knew I could make a plan fast but this one seemed faster than the rest. I grinned, replaying the plan in my head again. Being satisfied with it, I walked up to him. Luckily, he was facing the other way so I could easily execute my plan. Getting nearer to him, I hear snippets of his conversation with his friends.

"Gosh Perce, you can have any girl you want to you still go with this 'girlfriend' of yours."

"Drake, I've told you before. She's real. You haven't seen her because she's living in California. And you can't ask more from her. She's beautiful and smart and –"

"Yeah, we got it, man. You don't have to repeat everything. She's like a goddess on your description every time you talk about her."

"It's kind of hard to forget when you keep on talking about her non-stop, you know."

I smiled. "So, he's been talking about me, eh? I'll ask him about it later." I continued to walk towards him when one of the guys who I think is one of his friends saw me. I heard him say, "Who's she?" The rest of the guys except Percy turned around.

I heard one of them mutter, "Maybe she's the new girl." "Dude, She's hot." I rolled my eyes at that statement and turned my attention back at Percy, who seems to be oblivious to the world and to the fact that I was almost behind him. "Why would he think I'm right behind him if he doesn't even know I came to Goode?" I reasoned to myself. I was about to execute my plan when I heard the most annoying shill sound I have ever heard in my life. That means it was worse than the monster sounds I've heard.
