Annabeth p.o.v
August 22nd. First day of Half Blood High. You see, after years of teaching at schools, Chiron thought that normal education would be beneficial for us half-bloods. And by half-bloods I mean children of the gods. My mom is Athena, Goddess of wisdom and war, my dad however, is a scientist and a mortal. He remarried and I have 2 little step brothers. Bobby and Matthew. Helen has been nicer to me now, treating me as her own, so I guess life now is fine. Half Blood High also has magical borders protecting us from monsters, but there is a gymnasium at school which holds monsters for us to train. I guess I was kind of sad when I left camp Half Blood, but I like it here as well. Anyways, let's get on with the story.

"Annabeth!" I heard a high shrill voice. A pretty girl with long black hair and oh so beautiful features tackled me with a hug.
"Hi, Selina. Miss me much?" I asked. She stepped back and looked me up and down. I've always felt uncomfortable when she did this. She would examine me like a Barbie doll.
"You've grown prettier over the summer! And taller too! If you dressed more… less plain clothes then you'll be even prettier! What you're wearing now is nice, but plain," She stated. I guess she was right. But plain is my style. Today I wore my camp Half Blood shirt and skinny jeans and my hair down.
"At least let me do your hair. Pretty please!" She said, her big blue eyes even bigger.
"Fine, but nothing too fancy," I said. She squealed and took my hair in her hands. She took all my hair and put it into a loose fishtail braid. Just as she tied my hair, the rest of my gang showed up.
"Nice hair," Piper commented as they made their way towards us. Piper is just beautiful, she doesn't want to show it but she really is. She tries to keep it low-key but no such luck. She had brown choppy hair and eyes that change colours.
"What took so long?" I asked, ignoring Piper.
"Someone couldn't stop starting at the one and only Jason Grace," Calypso stated, staring at Piper who blushed. Calypso isn't a demigod, in fact her dad is atlas, a titan. But Chiron had let Calypso come. She had a kind face with almond shaped eyes and a warm smile. She had her long caramel hair but in a head band.
"I didn't! I just mentally fell asleep…" Piper argued.
"No point in denying Piper, we all know about you're not so secret crush," Hazel stated. Hazel has soft curly hair, sort of in a wild way, a cute face and she was petite.
"Let's just go to class and drop it!" Piper said.
"Why so urgent to get to class? Is Jason in your class?" I teased. Piper glared at me but then smiled mischievously.
"Nope. Because Annabeth is going to be late on the first day and you guys know how much she hates being late!" Piper said, grinning.
"Damn!" I cursed before sprinting off to class with the others on my tail, laughing.

"No no no no no no!" I shouted as sprinted to school. I was going to be late on the first day of school!
"I can't believe the others ditched me! They could've waited or at least woken me up!" I told myself. When I reached my locker, I saw a blond girl sprinted at full speed past me with 4 other girls lagging behind, laughing there're heads off evilly. Right, I thought. Not weird at all. When I reached to class I was already 10 minutes late. Luckily, Chiron was the teacher.
"I'm so sorry Chiron!" I panted. I saw my friends laughing off in the back. Wow, what great friends I have! Note the sarcasm. I made my way to a desk next to Leo's. Leo had curly, brown hair and elfish ears. He was quite tan and his eyes had a mischievous glint in them.
"Way to go bro. late on the first day of school!" Leo laughed. Frank, who was kinder, gave me a look of pity. Frank was a Canadian Chinese boy, he was burly and had a buzz cut. But yet he was just like a teddy bear.
"Dude, sorry about not waiting, but we couldn't be late too," Jason said. Jason was like a blond superman. Literally. He could fly and had the looks. His eyes were electric blue. His sister, Thalia, had joined the hunters so she wasn't here anymore.
"What true friends you guys are!" I said sarcastically.
"I know! Friends forever bro." Beckendorf said. Beckendorf was an African American guy. He was built had had some big hands. But he can be caring and sweet when he wants too. His first name is Charles but no one calls him that.
"Okay boys and girls, I have your partners list for the project," Chiron added. Wait, what project. I shot a look of questioning to the other guys but they had no idea as well.
"here are your partners for the year…"
