Authors Note: I know I have given up on my last two stories but I intend to stay with this one. This story was inspired by the 'special' Goode High School stories by The Artemis and HAZEL DAUGHTER OF HADES. I like those stories and hope mine compares.

I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS OR ANY OF HOODIE ALLEN'S SONGS.

Percy's POV

"Where you want it though? In your home, in your home. On the phone on the ph.." The alarm on my phone woke me up as it blasted No Interruption.

"Percy, get up and turn off that stupid song off. You have to drive to that new school today," My mom yelled to me.

"Alright," I said as I stopped the music, "I'm up" I said back. Today is the Sunday before the first day of school at this new place I'm going to. This will be the third high school I'm trying in three years. It's on Long Island in between a bunch of peaceful strawberry farms; At least that's what the brochure said after my mom had to look it up.

"Hey mom," I said as I walked out of my room, "What's up?"

"You, sir, need to leave in five minutes if you want to be there for the first night bonfire. It's already eleven o'clock and they said to be there at one thirty to get enough time to unpack the cars."

Shit. It is eleven. I grabbed an apple and started for the door, but not before saying goodbye. "Bye mom, gotta go."

Then while we were hugging goodbye she said, "Be careful Percy. Please text me every night and tell me if anything is wrong. I want to know as much as you will let me. Don't forget anything me or your dad has taught you. And above all, remember that I love you Percy."

"Bye mom. I love you to."

_ The next couple hours were boring. For my seventeenth birthday present my dad, who I see only once every two months or so, got me a brand new 2012 Maserati Granturismo. After I got in the car I took the reverse commute from my New York City apartment to the High school campus on the north shore on Long Island. The trip took an would have taken an hour had there been no traffic, but with my luck there was the Sunday get home traffic and also there was an accident on one of the bridges so it ended up taking two hours and a half to get to the campus and now I am just pulling into a spot with the number of my cabin in it.

The brochure was right. It actually is really beautiful here. As I pulled up there was a gate where the guard there took my name and gave me some papers which included my school schedule, parking sticker, a map, apartment info, and a key. Next he opened the gate and let me in. The apartments were all in a huge circle, and I mean huge, all facing outwards. This was to allow the common ground, field, quad, picnic area, whatever you want to call a large area of grass for public use, to be accessible for all students. I pulled into my spot and got out of the car. I noticed that I was on the opposite side of the circle from the entrance. As I got out, I saw someone fall down while carrying a bunch of bags. He had on a black shirt with a skull on it and black jeans. I decided to go help since he was only a couple doors down.

"Hey. Looks like you need a little help," I said as I took one of the bigger bags off of his chest, "My name is Percy."

"Nico," he replied standing and shaking my hand, "apartment 378, junior. I don't recognize you, are you new?"

"Yeah. First year junior. Apartment 380. How long you been here?"

"Third year. Ever since they figured out that I can basically disappear in shadows."

"Well it isn't really surprising by the way you dress." I joked. After that the tension between me and Nico loosened up and we became pretty fast friends. After we finished unpacking his Audi A4 we moved onto my stuff and filled my apartment. Next we unpacked the actual bags and set up the apartments. By the time we were done it was already four o'clock, the bonfire/ intro party was already half an hour in. Looks like me and my new best friend were going to make a big entrance.
