Simple storyline. Some on the PJO character come to a school. They're half-bloods, Annabeth knows it, but Percy doesn't yet.
Chapter One- The Meeting
Percy POV
Ring, ring, ring, ring! I jumped up and looked at my alarm clock. 6:45? Why am I up now? A small light flashed and I heard my recorded message.
"School day, get up, brush, shower, eat, and run!"
I grimaced. I got dressed, brushed, and showered. Feeling somewhat refreshed, I went into the kitchen, where my mom was making some blue pancakes.
I cheered silently. Yes! Blue Pancakes! I eagerly sat down and dug into a already finished plate.
My mom smiled. "Percy, I've never seen you so excited for school."
I shook my head. "You know I just want the food. Then I'm going back to not wanting to go."
My mom brought a second stack to me and looked at her watch. "5 minutes, Percy," she said. "I'll be in my room."
I nodded and went back to eating. When I finished I left the plates on the counter and packed my bag. Plainview high, I thought. Maybe I'll end up with something better than my last school.
5 minutes later I was on a bus headed for Plainview. Sitting around me were a few more kids. I knew they were Plainview students, too, due to the orange shirts they had on. We didn't have uniforms, but for the first day, they made us wear an orange tee and jeans.
In about 10 minutes, we were in front of a three story tall red brick building. A hawk was painted on the wooden board that hung above the front door. I figured that was the mascot. Apparently the other kids knew each other, because they began chatting away. There were two girls and two boys. From their conversation I managed to figure out that the black-haired gothic was Thalia, the sandy-haired tall guy was Luke, the skinny brown-haired guy was Grover, and the cute blonde was Annabeth.
I shuffled into the school and found my locker. I stuffed my bag in and sat down on one of the benches by the front door. Pretty soon, the four other peoples walked in. Each went their separate ways to their lockers, and then they went back and sat down next to me. As they began chatting again, I pulled out my mp3 and went to work listing to music.
I was in the middle of a song when I felt a nudge on my shoulder. From my experience from my other school, nudging either meant move or hello. I took the first one and scooted to one side. I felt the nudge again.
This time I took out my ear phones and glanced at the other four. The gothic cocked her head to the side.
"Why'd you scoot away from us? If we're getting on your nerves just say so."
I shrugged. "I've had a few bad experiences with nudges in the past. Including this," I lifted my sleeve to show them the long scar on my upper left shoulder.
Annabeth and Thalia winced. Luke stared at me. "What school have you been going to?" he asked.
Once again, I shrugged. "Ardmore High."
Thalia shook her head. "Remind me never to go near that place."
I allowed a thin smile. Before at the other school I've always been left out. I wasn't use to people actually talking to me.
Annabeth motioned for me to recover the scare and I did as told. Changing the subject, she asked, "Let me see your schedule."
Once again, I did as told.
She smiled. "You know you don't have to listen to me." But she took the piece of paper and looked at it.
She raised her eyebrows. "Swimming? I'm doing that this year, and gym, too. "She looked up at me and smiled again. "We have most of our classes together. Guess I'll be seeing you more often."
I smiled back, but apparently Luke had something else in mind. He frowned that that and stared at me, as if to say 'don't do anything stupid'.
The bell rang, and I gathered my things and headed for first hour.
Kind of short, this was just about them meeting each other.
