CHAPTER 1: Wise Girl

PERCY'S POV

I stood by my locker getting books from the shelf when my team mates, Ryan, James and Louis' stalked up from behind mepr

"Hey man, 'sup? How's it being back at Goode, Perce?" queried Ryan, while giving me a 'bro' hug.

"It's been hell; one of the teachers already hates me, and it's even weirder that my step-dad is my English teacher," I huffed, putting the rest of the supplies I needed for my next class in my backpack. "Be lucky that you've been gone on vacation for a week."

"Yeah," piped up James, "Coach has been going crazy since you couldn't be there for tryouts and had to postpone your swimming and running initiations."

"Yeah well, sorry about that," Ryan frowned, looking at the floor. Then he snapped his head back up. "Hey guys, guess what I saw in the Office today?"

"What?" all three of us yelled sarcastically in unison.

"I saw this hot, new chick getting her schedule."

"No way!" said Louis.

"Yes way."

I leaned up against my now closed locker, my back facing the front entrance of the school. As the boys were discussing this mysterious, hot new girl, I was thinking about Annabeth. It's been two weeks since I had last seen her and I missed her dearly.

I snapped out of my reverie when Louis shouted, "Hot babe at twelve o'clock."

I got confused for a second and looked up to where he was pointing. "That's her," Ryan breathed.

She was beautiful. Blonde princess curls with a touch of gray framed her face, springing loose from her high ponytail. She had on a grey shirt with some sort of design I couldn't distinguish bordering the bottom, jean shorts and blue tennis shoes. Her lithe and tan stature was lean with athletic muscle. Even though she was looking down I knew her eyes were the startling grey that I fell in love with. She's Annabeth, my Annabeth. I would know her anywhere. Wait! What is she doing here?

"Annabeth?" I asked as the boys looked at me with weird expressions on their faces.


RYAN'S POV

I stepped out of my rusted blue Ford Chevy truck onto the pavement, and walked into the brick building. These are the halls I've walked through for the past two years; this is where all the memories are, I thought, striding across the linoleum. I couldn't wait to see my friends again. It's been a week into the school year and I haven't been a single day. That's because my parents thought we could use some "extra vacation time" together.

I walked past into the office to get my schedule for the year. "Hello Mrs. Leigh, may I have my schedule?"

"Sure thing, sugar," the elderly receptionist replied in her southern accent. "Here you go, Ryan." She drawled as she got the paper from a drawer.

"Thanks." I glanced down at my classes. "Shit!" I cursed under my breath in order for Mrs. Leigh not to hear. I had swim at the end of the day and just remembered that Coach was going to be pissed that I wasn't there for tryouts. I was one of the best on the team, other than Percy, of course. Oh god do I miss the guys.

I then turned around to be knocked off my feet and onto the tile.

"Oh gods! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" spoke a mysterious, worried feminine voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I murmured, just to look up see a very attractive girl standing over me with an outstretched hand. She had on a grey T-shirt, with jean shorts that went midway to her thighs, blue running shoes, and a worn Yankees cap that stuck out from her back pocket. Her face was tanned and angular with curling, blonde, spirals framing her face falling from her pony, down her back. Her grey eyes were intense and calculating, like she craved to know everything.

I bewilderingly took her offered hand and she pulled me up. Boy was she strong for such a small girl, thought I have to admit she looked athletic. "Okay, good. Gods I'm so sorry about that. My name's Annabeth." Huh, Percy says gods a lot too. Must be some crazy new religious thing going 'round.

I couldn't take my eyes off her,"Ryan."

She shook my hand. "Nice to meet you. Now if you don't mind, I have to get my schedule."

I shook my head mentally, trying to clear my thoughts, "Oh, alright, maybe I'll see you around?" I asked hopefully.

She smirked knowingly, "Maybe…"

I exited the office and strode over to my locker. Stuffing all of my things in my backpack, I turned around to see to people positioned behind me.

"Whoa!" I exclaimed jumping back, my spine thumping against my now closed locker. The two boys snickered. They were Louis and James, two of my best bros. "What the hell's wrong with you guys? Scaring me like that?"

"Oh, just nothing," Louis replied.

"Everything," James retorted.

"Well okay then." I reopened my locker to collect the rest of my books.

"How's it been man, being gone for the month in… where? Oh, yeah, the freaking Bahamas. Must've been some hot babes in bikinis."

"Yup," I replied, popping the "p".

"Dude, you won't believe this," said Louis excitedly.

"What?" I asked, getting annoyed by the boys' antics.

"Percy said he has a girlfriend," my eyes grew wide, "but no one believes him. Especially since she doesn't seem to be anyone at this school. We are kinda skeptical about it too, I mean, no offence to Percy…"

"That's just not possible," I argue, "the dude barely gives the hottest girls around here a second glance when all of them are obviously pining after him."

"Exactly! That's why no one believes him!" James said, ruffling the bottom of his already frayed red shirt. "Oh look, there he is now." He blurted while pointing at a boy with tousled black hair at his locker, and then started towards him with Louis at his heels. By then, I had already gotten everything I had needed for my next class, so I closed my own locker to trail after them.

I caught up with them and stood off Louis' side. "Hey man, 'sup? How's it being back at Goode, Perce?" I asked, giving him a hug.

He scratched the back of his neck while looking off into the distance. "It's been hell, one of the teachers already hates me and it's even weirder that my step-dad is my English teacher," he said, huffing at his statement and putting more books into his backpack. "Be lucky that you've been gone on vacation for a week."

"Yeah," piped up James, "Coach has been going crazy since you couldn't be there for tryouts and had to postpone your swimming and running initiations."

"Yeah well, sorry about that," I replied sarcastically, frowning at the floor. Then I remembered something. Annabeth, that hot new chick. My snapped up, deciding to voice my thoughts. "Hey guys, guess what I saw in the Office today?"

"What?" all three of the boys yelled in unison.

"I saw this hot, new chick getting her schedule."

"No way!" said Louis.

"Yes way." Why couldn't he believe me? Must be because of the thing with Percy having a girlfriend being a lie...

Percy then closed his locker and leaned up against it, facing towards us, and getting a dazed look in his eye. Probably thinking about his imaginary girlfriend. I snickered at the thought.

"Well, are you gunna tell us what she looks like or not?" Louis questioned.

I rolled my eyes. "That's for me to know and for you to find out."

"Aw, come on," James whined, stressing the vowels. Boy, can he be annoying at times. "Why can't you tell us?"

Louis shouted, "Hot babe at twelve o'clock," getting James to stop complaining and bringing Percy out of his daydream.

He pointed to that same blonde beauty I had met only moments before, walking towards us, not looking up from a paper in her hand, with a confused expression claiming her face. She was just stunning.

"That's her," I breathed out.

I looked to each of the guys, my eyes finally resting on Percy. He had a bewildered look on his face, like when he tries to read something, then all the sudden he is staring at her intently grinning lopsidedly like a goof.

"Annabeth?" he asked. I stared at him pointedly. Wait a minute. Exactly how does he know her name?

She finally looked up with a glint of excitement and nervousness in her storming grey eyes, "Percy?" She actually knows him? Okay now I'm freaking out, how would Percy know this gorgeous babe? My breath then got stuck in my throat. You have got to be kidding me.
