PERCY POV

Annabeth and I walked up the steps in front of Goode. After the war, Chiron had decided that all the hero's of the Titan war should go to Goode so they would be closer to Olympus and camp. Plus it was hard to be the official architect of Olympus if you live in California. I was more worried that Mark, the quarterback and biggest player at school, would steal away Annabeth. Once he had his sights on a girl, he always got them. I looked around and saw Mark and his gang hitting on a girl with snow white hair about my height. I turned to Annabeth and saw her staring at Mark with her jaw dropped so low she could catch a jet plane. A small line of drool was trailing from her mouth. "Your catching flies Juliet" I snapped and walked over to help the new girl.

LUCY POV(I try to fit my name somewhere in every story I write)

I was having a hard time not ripping these guys heads off. "Hey Snow White," The lead jock called "Can I see those two dwarves in your shirt." I was about to walk away when I heard someone say "Leave her alone Mark". I turned to see a drop dead gorgeous guy about my height with jet black hair walking over to us. Behind him, a blonde girl glared at him and was, for some reason, wiping the corner of her mouth. "Well if it isn't Aqua Man. How's the swim team over in the looser capital of the world?"

The guy laughed. "Ha ha! Good one Mark. But I'm not the one with nothing better to do then get rejected by the new girl." Mark glared at him. "Your right Percy. Just watch your girlfriend. 'Cause soon she'll be wrapped around my finger like all the other girls in this school." He laughed at the glare on Percy's face and walked away. his heard of jocks following behind him. My hero walked up to me "Well I'm Percy the sophomore captain of the swim team. What grade are you in?" "I'm a sophomore also. If your gonna hit on me too then could you leave? I have better things to do then beat you up" I replied a little more mean then I had intended. I was having a hard time keeping my eyes off his muscled body. He laughed.

"If I was trying to hit on you, I would have started with something better than what grade are you in. If you let me see your schedule then I can show you too your locker." We started talking as we walked down the hallways to our locker. Since he had the locker over mine, we might as well get to know each other. I told him about how I was raised by my mother and that I never knew my father. I found out that he too, was raised by a single mother, but had just gotten a step-father who taught at this school. I chuckled as I opened my locker under his. "So I assume having a step-father as a teacher doesn't hurt your grades." he mock glared down at me. "I thought you would have thought better of me. Maybe-" he stopped and stared down the hall. I turned around and saw Mark with his arm around Annabeth. He leaned in for a kiss and met Percy's fist. Annabeth looked at him angrily as she bent down to help Mark up. "What are you doing Percy! Don't punch Mark! He's the sweetest guy ever! We're over!" She stormed away with Mark to find the nurses office. I walked over to him to see a broken look on his face. I tried to be sad for him but the fact that he was now available just made me feel like I won the lottery.
