Blending in With the Crowd

Annabeth Chase never in her life had been so embarrassed. She could feel the heat rushing to her cheeks as she began to stumble to find the right words. Not sure if she should even say anything at all….

6 Months Earlier

"Just lay low," was Annabeth's motto. "No one is going to bother you or even notice you, if you don't call attention to yourself." Thats what she would always say right before she got out of bed in the morning, and it was always swirling around in her head as she went through her day. And she always did exactly that.

She made sure she had average grades, average clothes, let her hair hang down in front of her face not in any particular style, and minimal makeup. She was just glad that she was lucky enough to have an average height.

No one had paid any attention to her sense the eighth grade. And she didn't even live in New York during that time. Needless to say, to other people she wasn't really a person with her own ideas and theories, she was just sort of…. there. Serving absolutely no purpose other then using resources and taking up space.

Annabeth assumed no one actually thought about her like that but it sure felt like it at times…

Ah, who was she kidding? No one wasted their time thinking about her.

Annabeth Chase happen to be 17 years of age, and she was about to start attending her first day of her senior year at Goode High School. This was her first year actually attending Goode, or any high school for that matter. And to be honest, she was a little scared.

Okay really scared.

She hadn't been to a public school in years. She preferred to teach herself by going to the local library to use the textbooks. It was easier that way. Then she wouldn't have to worry about interacting with other people.

But this year, Annabeth was pushing herself. In one of her favorite books, the main character said that they thought everyone should try something that they aren't comfortable with, because an unexpected, yet pleasant, outcome might occur.

So there she was, on the outside of the school, second guessing her choice of staying already.. And the day hadn't even started.

"Deep breaths," she thought. "You're going to be fine"

When Annabeth took her first step into the building she was overwhelmed with the different smells. People of all sorts wearing completely different fragrances. Immediately Annabeth started coughing and leaned against a wall.

"Whoa, there," Some girl said. "Wanna cough drop?"

Annabeth looked up at this stranger not sure of what to say. The stranger looked like the sort of person everyone loved. Like she was always kind and never did anything wrong. Just a sweet little girl without a care in the world.

"No, Thanks," Annabeth squeaked out.

"Well, I've never seen you around here before. You new?"

Annabeth just nodded when the bell rang out signaling a warning bell to get to class.

Annabeth had already received her schedule and a map of the school the previous day.

"Okay Dokey. Thats my cue…..?" she said looking for a name.

"Annabeth"

"Oh well great to meet you Annabeth! My name is Selina. If you ever need anything you could always come to me!"

Annabeth watched her walk away. She had be at school an entire five minutes and had already been unwillingly forced into conversation. Okay that was overreacting a little, but she decided she was aloud some overreacting considering how much she was freaking out."

Annabeth arrived in to her homeroom classroom with two minutes to spear. She would never show up late or too early because that might call unneeded attention to herself.

One of her bigger fears is that a teacher will call her out as a new student and make her introduce herself in front of everyone. Lucky for her, all she had to do was say, "Here," when he called her name to take attendance.

She decided to sit against a wall half way to the back of the class so she wasn't with all the rowdy teens in the back but also no the front because she didn't want to have people staring at the back of her head all day.

When Annabeth took her seat no one was around her, now however, the seat options with thinning out. When a dude with sandy blonde hair sat in front of her. Annabeth smirked. He was wearing a long sleeved leather jacket. She assumed he thought it made him seem like a hot rod or something, but in all truth, he looked like an idiot. What was it outside? Like 95 degrees?

A mob of what she assumed were his friends came over filing into the desks. They all seemed very different from each other but knit together like a big family.

Annabeth smiled at the thought.

Their teacher was a man in a wheel chair and he seemed like a nice guy. Also, most of the students seemed to respect him in some way because they all quieted down when he asked them too.

Annabeth was grateful that there was an empty seat in the class room. Especially that it was right next to her—BLAM!—

The door slammed open and a girl strolled in. She was wearing a black My Chemical Romance T-shirt (which Annabeth approved of) and denim shorts that had holes in them. Annabeth assumed the girl did herself. She had black uneven short hair and electric blue eyes that made her seem like she could vaporize you on the spot.

"Sorry I'm late Mr. Brunner." She said in a tone that showed she wasn't sorry at all. "You see, my bed had this gravitational pull that prevented me from getting out of bed on time today."

"Well I have heard a lot of excuses in my day. It disappoints me that thats the best you could come up with."

The girl shrugged and sat in the open seat.

By the time Annabeth got to 4th period she had seen a lot of the intimidating girl and her friends. She found it highly entertaining when she caught the girl looking a little to long at the sandy haired guy with the leather jacket. The boy also seemed completely unaware of the girl's crush.

Annabeth smiled to herself. From what she had seen of the two, she totally shipped it.

"What you smiling at girly?" said a flirtatious voice. She looked up to see a tall and tan boy with really deep brown eyes.

"Nothing," she replied in a small voice. The boy suddenly leaned over her desk to get a better look at her face.

"Oh so your a shy one are you? Well I haven't seen you around here before Darlin', so if you need a guide I'm your man," and with a sexy wink leaned a little closer. Annabeth slid back a few inches, not taking her terrified eyes off the boy.

"Hey asshole, leave the poor girl alone." The browned eyed boy straightened stiffly.

"Or what Jackson?" he snapped at the boy that was seated next to Annabeth. She didn't notice him come in. And she couldn't see how she didn't. I mean he was cute. With wind blown brown hair, striking green eyes, and a muscular body. But not like a crazy body builder, just enough to be noticeable.

"Dylan, I know this might come as a surprise to you but people don't like you as much as you think. So just back off, she obviously isn't interested."

"You just wait till auditions bitch. I'll pound you," Dylan stalked off. The Jackson kid just laughed off the threat.

"Sorry about Dylan, I'm Percy by the way." He said extending his hand in introduction.

Annabeth smiled shyly at him. "Thank You," she mouthed, turning back to the front of the classroom. Percy took his hand back awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.
