Percy's POV
"Wake up Percy" called my mom
I groaned. Even if my mom was calling me I still hate to get up in the mornings. You see my mom, Sally Jackson, is the nicest person in the world. If it weren't for her uncle she would be spending her time writing a book. Not at a candy store selling candy. But the good thing is that I get free samples out of it.
As I got out of bed my mom came in and said, "Percy, I told you to get up already for how long now. You're going to be late for your first day of school!"
"Alright alright mom I'm getting up now," I reply. Today was the first day of my new school career at Goode High. I had moved to New York from Greece just this year. I just hope I don't get expelled like all those other times. My mom took me to a psychologist once after getting expelled again.
(flashback)
I was sitting on the chair next to the door after talking to the psychologist.
"Miss Jackson, after looking at the reports I believe your son is just angry because his father is not here. I also believe it is because of Mr. Ugliano and his treatment of your son."
"I see." replied my mom.
(end flashback)
After that my mom divorced my stepdad and together we moved to a small apartment in New York. I got up and changed and quickly brushed my teeth.
"See ya later mom!" I call out as I grabbed a blue pancake.
"Make some friends at school Percy and remember not to get into any fights!"
"Okay mom"
I started walking the few blocks to school. While walking a guy with crutches comes up and walks with me.
"hey my names Grover." he stuck out his hand which I gripped with a smile. "I'm guessing your new here right?"
"yeah, my name is Percy. I'm on my way to Goode high."
"really?I go there too. Hey let's meet up at lunch and I'll show you around. Whaddaya say?"
"Sure"
While on our way we start to converse about each other. Apparently Grover has a leg disease that causes him to walk with crutches. After a while we start talking about Greek mythology. It turns out that he really likes Greek mythology too. We got into a really heated conversation about which of the gods has the strongest ability. He argued that Pan was the strongest. Since he could create a panic with his voice. I thought it was Poseidon because he can cause storms and earthquakes. Before we knew it we reached the school.
"hey Percy," Grover says," The office is right around the corner. Also look for me in the lunch room later. If you can't find it just ask someone."
"Alright Grover thanks by the way"
"Your welcome"
I turned the corner and got my schedule from the office. I was surprised when I saw that sword fighting was an elective in the school. This is awesome.
P.1 math
P.2 English
P.3 break
P.4 Greek mythology
P.5 biology
P.6 lunch
P.7 sword fighting
P.8 swimming

I looked at the map to search for my first class, math. Ugh math. I frowned at the map. My dyslexia prevents me from being able to read the map correctly. But I could only make out that the room number was 7304. As I was still trying to make out the map a girl comes behind me.
"The room numbers are arranged in a specific way. It's building number floor number and room number. Basically 7304 is building 7 3rd floor and room number 04."
"Thanks," I say as I turn around. I looked back and saw the most beautiful person ever. She has golden blond curls and has a Californian tan. She's taller than the average female at 5' 10". I looked down into her eyes which were intimidating. They looked like they were calculating everything from the way to beat me up and escape. I realized my mouth was still open so I closed it and stuck out my hand.
"I'm Percy thanks for helping me." She grabs my hand and shakes it.
"My name is Annabeth and it was no problem."
"yeah um can you point me to the direction of the 7000 building?"
"Yeah sure it's right over there."she pointed across the quad at the school.
"thanks uh I guess I'll see you later then"
"okay" Annabeth walks in the other direction to another building that said 2000. I walked into my math class and I saw Grover. I went over and sat next to him.

Annabeth's POV
While I was walking away from Percy, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I could just look at his sea green eyes the whole day. I want to push my hand through his midnight black hair. I want to be wrapped in his embrace. Oh my gods what is wrong with me. I'm not usually the type to be romantic. It's usually Silena's job. But I just can't help but get so excited. When I looked at his schedule I realized that we had 2nd 4th and 7th with him. Right as I walked into bio I saw Thalia and Piper sitting there waiting for me.
"okay who's the lucky guy?" Piper automatically asks.
"what do you mean?" I ask in turn.
"well obviously you met a guy that you really like or else you wouldn't be smiling so widely"
"wait what," Thalia asks, "Annie has a crush?!"
"Don't call me Annie, Thalia" I gave Thalia a glare and looked straight ahead. We had a boring discussion about cells and the bell rang. During my time in class I kept thinking about Percy and every time I would get a flutter in my stomach. I got up and walked out of the classroom. On my way to English I heard an explosion that sounded really close. I looked up and saw a giant pillar of smoke coming from one of the buildings.
"Noooooooo!" I heard someone yell. I turned and saw Percy who had a look of shock on his face. I couldn't understand why he was yelling. Then I saw Grover go up to him.
"Percy you can't leave to go see if your mom is ok. The building might collapse on top of you before you even reach her." Grover says.
"but I can't just stand here I just can't..." with that he sprints off in the direction to his home. I go up to Grover and I see that he's close to tears.
"Grover what's wrong?" I ask.
"It's Percy. I'm worried that I might lose another friend." He replies. You see, several years back one of our friends Bianca got crushed under a giant slab of concrete after pulling her brother Nico out of a collapsed wall. Nico survived but Bianca died.
"don't worry Grover. I'll bring him back to us." I promised.
"but be careful Annabeth. I wouldn't be able to bear it if both of you guys died" Grover called as I ran in the direction Percy did.
