Ok I have some news...I won't be able to update for awhile because I'm moving so the next time I'll be able to update is probably mid-August. But I got this idea and decided that I would post it to see how you guys liked it. I'll try to update my other things as soon as I have computer access again. Until then read, review, enjoy, and RawR. I will still be able to check reviews and PMs so don't be afraid to do so if you need to say something to me. RawR :D and :(
So I just started at this new school, things were crazy. I was lost and I swear I had seen the same three kids six or seven times. So finally the girl in the group walked over to me. She looked intimidating but she was giving me a friendly smile.
"Hi you must be new." She smiled.
"I am." I replied.
"Well I'm Thalia and the idiots behind me are Percy and Nico." She explained.
"Cool, I'm Annabeth." I smiled.
"Well I'll show you around." She smiled.
I smiled, "Thanks this school is huge."
"Welcome to Olympia." She rolled her eyes playfully.
I handed her my schedule and my locked number, "Here I have no clue where to go."
She looked at the schedule and smiled and then her grin became even bigger when she looked at the locker number, "Well you have most of your classes with my friends and I who I'll introduce you to in a little bit and your locker is right next to mine."
"Cool." I smiled.
I just moved here and it was the middle of the semester. I hated it. Thalia seemed nice though. Maybe a trouble maker but she seemed nice.
She walked me through to my locker and told me to just follow her around to first hour and she'll explain the rest. Finally she announced that it was time to meet her friends. She walked me back to where I had met her and now there was a huge group of kids standing there.
A blonde guy who looked like he was already seven feet tall…ok maybe not that tall but you get the picture, turned and grinned when he saw Thalia. Thalia pulled me over and I knew this was the time for introductions.
"Guys this is Annabeth, she's new here and I expect you to treat her like one of us." Thalia said. Something told me that whatever she said went.
One of the other two she had been with outstretched his hand to me, "I'm Percy."
Ok so Percy had the green eyes…and he was the hotter of the two.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Nico." The other one she was with earlier introduced himself.
A blonde guy with a scar above his lip smiled, "I'm Thalia's brother Jason."
The girl standing next to him smiled, "I'm Piper, it's nice to meet you."
"I'm Leo, Bad Boy Supreme, The Super Sized McShizzle." The boy on Piper's other side introduced himself.
The girl on Jason's other side introduced herself, "I'm Reyna."
Another boy on her other side went next, "I'm Frank."
Then the girl next to him introduced herself, "I'm Hazel."
A redhead girl next to Percy smiled, "I'm Rachel but you can call me RED."
Finally the boy who had grinned when he saw Thalia introduced himself, "I'm Luke the crazy one."
"Ignore him; his ego is too big for his own good." Thalia rolled her eyes.
"You're just jealous that you don't get the Luke experience." Luke muttered.
Thalia sighed and hit her forehead with her head, "Just ignore him."
"You know you want this." Luke said doing a very suggestive dance and lifting his shirt to show his abs.
"Mr. Castellan please put your shirt down." A man with a beard in a motorized scooter said as he came out of a classroom.
Luke muttered something but did as he was told. The man looked around the group and smiled when he noticed me, "You must be Annabeth, I'm Mr. Brunner, your homeroom and history teacher."
"Its nice to meet you." I smiled.
"Well don't let these kids get you into trouble." He smiled at the group playfully, "I'll be seeing you all in homeroom."
With that he left us standing there. Luke looked over at Thalia, "Hey Thalia."
"I swear to Zeus that if its another one of your stupid jokes I will kick your ass." She glared at him.
"I love you." He smirked.
"You're an idiot." She rolled her eyes once again.
I noticed Nico was standing close to Thalia and had a sour face. So maybe they were a couple. Luke was trying to make Nico mad. I've seen this thousands of times before.
"So Annabeth, where did you come from?" Percy asked.
"San Francisco." I said.
"What brought you to New York then?" Percy asked.
"My mom thought San Fran was too dangerous for me and my father agreed so she brought me here." I explained.
"Cool." Thalia smiled.
"Well do you need a place to stay?" she asked.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Well cool you can stay with my mom, Jason, and I." Thalia smiled.
"Thanks." I said.
Well that was taken care of. Thalia seemed pretty cool so I decided to take her offer.
"So who's your mom?" Percy asked.
"Athena." I said.
"Poseidon is my dad." Percy said.
"I'm a son of Hades." Nico said.
Everyone told me their parents so I knew who belonged to who. Honestly Percy didn't seem as stupid as I thought a son of Poseidon would be. The bell rang and we all filed into the respectful classroom. It was literally the week before Christmas break.
Thalia explained to me that this wasn't a normal school. There was a lot of different things going on all the time, the teachers were pretty cool, and we watched a lot of movies. This school seemed pretty cool. I watched as the rest of the kids in our class filed in. There were a few that looked approachable some looked like you wanted to steer clear of them.
"Mr. Castellan what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be in the office right now?" Mr. Brunner asked.
"Nah, Zeus dropped the charges." He said and as he did he waggled his eyebrows at Thalia.
"Well then please take your seat and put your shirt back on." He smiled at Luke.
Luke sat down next to Thalia and tasered her as he did. She yelped a bit but other than that she leaned against the back of her chair. We were all sitting in a circle and everyone was kind of talking in different groups. Thalia had inducted me into her, Percy, Rachel, Nico, and Luke's group.
"So Luke what did you do this weekend for Thalia to hate you?" Nico asked.
"Well first on Friday she had to come get me from a huge ass party because I was drunk at three in the morning, then I told her to go to Taco Bell, which she did and I made a mess in her vintage Mustang with my burrito, then I crashed at her place. Saturday I made her late for work, I bugged her on the job, almost got her fired, then I made her pay for dinner. Sunday we actually just watched movies at her place." Luke smirked at Thalia.
Thalia just rolled her eyes and shook her head, "I swear that if you get me in that situation again I will kill you in your sleep."
"My question is why do you get to hang out with my girlfriend more than I do?" Nico asked.
Percy and Rachel looked over at me and rolled their eyes, "This happens every day."
"Well simply because she loves me more than she loves you." Luke said. It reminded me of a little kid.
"Will you two just shut up about it? We get that you don't get to spend as much time with me because I'm busy babysitting Luke. We're all sick of hearing it already. If you really wanted to spend time with me stop canceling dates on me at last minute." Thalia said.
They both looked at her. Then another girl walked over and hugged Thalia.
Then she smiled at me, "You must be new, I'm Riley daughter of Apollo."
Nico even perked up when Riley walked over.
"I'm Annabeth daughter of Athena." I said.
"Well it's nice to meet you. So what was Luke doing this weekend?" she asked as she took a seat next to Rachel.
"Don't get them started please." Thalia muttered.
So that sums up a lot of things. Percy rolled his eyes and Rachel wore a bored expression on her face as Luke delved into a very detailed description of his weekend. That became another argument when Nico found out that Luke had slept in Thalia's room. Thalia didn't even look like she cared at all.
"So you almost got her fired?" Riley asked.
Luke nodded, "That I did."
Finally Thalia became really irritated after about three more minutes of Nice and Luke bickering about who would be a better boyfriend to Thalia, "Will you both shut your freaking mouths!? I am, we are, so sick of hearing it every day. I am dating Nico, and Nico Luke is my best friend. You both need to stop acting like children and I'm pretty sure Annabeth is sick of hearing about it too!"
They both looked at Thalia and launched into an argument about who pissed Thalia off more. Honestly I found it kind of irritating yet amusing at the same time. Thalia finally smacked both of their heads and kicked them out of the group for the day until they could stop acting like children. Riley seemed pretty cool and Thalia was too.
"So what's your next class?" Thalia asked.
"AP History." I said.
"Unfortunately you have that with Luke, so you can just follow him to that class, his locker's on the other side of mine." Thalia explained.
The bell rang and I followed Luke to his locker and I had what I needed, or what Thalia told me I needed. My books were already in my locker that was thanks to my mom. We went back to Mr. Brunner's room.
Luke gestured for me to take the seat next to him. I noticed that there was a picture on his phone of him and Thalia that he kept looking at.
He looked at me, "You're a daughter of Athena so that means you're pretty smart."
I nodded, "Ok."
"Well Thalia and I were best friends before Nico even came into the picture. Now Nico doesn't even want her spending time with me. Do you think that's fair?" he asked me.
"Not really." I said.
"Thank you. Whenever I bring it up with Thalia she just sighs and tells me that she doesn't want to talk about it." Luke said he was obviously frustrated.
"So you really care about her?" I asked.
He looked over at me, "Why do you think that I say the things I do around Nico? He's the worst possible boyfriend for her."
"So what does he do to earn that title?" I asked.
"Well he always cancels on her, he leaves her hanging while he goes and parties with girls, I'm pretty sure that he likes Riley more than he likes Thalia. She won't listen to me because I'm her best friend."
"Well maybe she'll see things differently soon." I suggested.
"Well I wanted to ask her to go to the winter formal with me in January, but I can't do that if she doesn't break up with Nico." He muttered.
Then class started and we watched a pretty cool movie about Rome. Then he assigned us something to do while we were at home all break. Luke asked me what my next class was. I looked at my schedule, "I have Algebra II Advanced."
"You'll have that class with Nico, Jason, and Piper." Luke said.
Nico was at Thalia's locker standing there with her. She was getting her things out of her locker and he glared at Luke. Something had obviously gone down in first hour.
Percy walked over to Thalia's locker, "Ready?"
She nodded and pushed past Nico who looked at Luke, "Are you happy now?"
"About what?" Luke asked nonchalantly.
"She won't talk to me."
"Well you have your next class with Annabeth would you mind showing her to it?" Luke asked his tone was slightly icy.
I'm guessing that they didn't get along very well. Nico looked over at me, "So are you ready?"
I nodded and followed him down the hall after saying goodbye to Luke. Nico gestured to a seat next to him; I realized that my mom was teaching this class. She smiled at me when I walked past her desk before walking over to me.
"Annabeth how do you like it so far?" she asked me.
"I like it mom." I smiled.
"Well good, I'll see you again today in Architecture today right?" she asked.
I nodded, "Yup last hour."
She smiled, "Good. Well I'm glad you've met Thalia and her gang, they're all basically good kids except for that son of Poseidon."
"Percy seems nice." I instantly defended Percy.
"Well you'll learn soon." She smiled before walking to the front of the class.
Nico looked over at me, "So I'm pretty sure you've heard Luke's ridiculous story."
I looked at him, "Yeah what about it?"
"I'm not that bad of a boyfriend." Nico muttered.
"Ok." I said.
Before Nico could say anything Piper and Jason walked over, "Hey guys."
"Hi." Nico greeted them as they took seats next to us.
Piper turned to me, "So I'm pretty sure you've heard all about the love triangle."
I nodded, "Yup."
"There's a lot of the love triangle thing in our friend group. I swear we're all in one." Piper rolled her eyes.
"There's more than one?" I asked her.
Piper nodded, "There's like three or something."
"Wow." I said.
"Well sometimes its exhausting." Piper shrugged.
"So this is the drama group?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're the group that almost everyone around school is always gossiping about." Piper said.
"We are that group." Jason said.
"So are you in one?" I asked Piper.
She looked at me and laughed, "Oh yeah. Well I supposedly am."
I laughed, "For a daughter of Aphrodite you seem to hate drama."
"There are a few of us who do." Piper smiled.
Finally that class was over and I learned of all the love triangles in the group and the screwed up relationships. Jason, Piper, and Reyna were one, Leo, Frank, and Hazel were one, and then there was the infamous Thalia, Luke, and Nico one which was more of a square since Riley was thrown in there. Percy and Rachel seemed to be the only ones who weren't involved in one. Rachel was apparently with Apollo because she became the oracle and he decided that he had to have her. Percy on the other hand tried to deal with all the other love triangles.
Thank god my next class, PE, was with Thalia, Percy, Piper, and I think she said Hazel and Luke. Thalia met me at her locker with her gym bag and Percy. We walked down to the gym which was huge and went to our separate locker rooms. The boys had Coach Ares and we got Coach Nike.
The coaches announced that it was a free day to do whatever we wanted to do as long as it was something that didn't involve maiming, killing, or fire. Percy and Luke walked over to us and decided that we needed to play tag. The girls agreed and so did I. I haven't played tag since I was seven.
It was so much fun after that we decided that it would be fun to play basketball teams of three. Luke and Percy decided to be captains. The teams ended up being Luke, Thalia, and I and Percy, Hazel, and Piper. The game was a lot of fun but Percy really liked to stay close on defense.
Finally it was time for lunch. Thalia and I headed over to the Mexican food stand with Piper, Rachel, Hazel, Reyna, Leo, and Luke while Percy and Nico headed over to the Italian line with Riley, Frank, and Jason. We were joined by Apollo who kissed Rachel and stood in line with us.
Lunch was a little more civilized than the earlier classes that Luke and Nico had together. It was mostly because Luke was stuffing his face full of burrito and Nico was doing the same with an Italian Beef Sandwich.
The rest of the day was pretty easy and I followed Thalia to her place. She helped me with my bags and I felt instantly at home. Thalia showed me to her room and then to the guest room and told me I could stay in either place. I decided I could take the guest room which was already painted the same steely grey as my own room at home. Thalia told me we could decorate her mom didn't mind and that she'd be home soon.
There was a knock on the door and we found Luke standing there with a crock pot full of chili. Thalia invited him in. Her place was huge but it still felt homey. Percy arrived an hour later with the toppings for the chili and then the rest of the gang filed in.
"We have gang night once a week because we find it to be a lot fun." Thalia explained, "My mom and their parents do the same but we're never in the same house."
"This week it was my job to make the chili." Luke explained.
"Your mom made that you liar." Thalia rolled her eyes.
"Well I brought it so shut up." Luke said.
"Thank you for actually bringing it unlike Percy who forgot and brought Chinese from the place down the street." Piper giggled.
"Hey I brought the toppings to make up for that." Percy said in defense.
"So what are we waiting for are we hungry or what?" Leo asked.
We all filed into the kitchen and chili was served. The table was alive with chatter. Then it turned into debate on who would bring dinner next week. We decided that it was going to be a Christmas Feast and that was the night that we would be opening presents and caroling. They had basically accepted me into their group and I had only known them a few hours. At least I didn't have to worry about making friends.
