Hey you guys! I'm back in Fanfiction after a moth! And, it's also my fourteenth birthday today! I've changed and grown so much the last time I went on this site, and I'm so happy that I did. This story isn't like my other stories, granted…but I still hope you enjoy. I want to keep this short so you guys can start reading…so, thank you for actually pressing this story to read and also reading it! Bye!

Disclaimer: I'm only a fourteen (finally!) year old girl…I do not own anything in this story except for the plot.

New student Annabeth Chase and her brother, Malcolm, go to Half Blood Academy, a boarding school in New York, after their mother's tragic death. What happens when Annabeth finds out more than she wanted to about the boarding school her and her brother attend? What does she get herself into when she meets Luke and Percy, who both have a deep and dark secret?

Chapter 1: Half Blood Academy

"We finally arrived, kids!" Fredrick Chase exclaimed, staring excitedly at his two children, who were in the back seat of their Honda Civic, wanting to leave New York as quickly as possible.

"Dad, this place…I don't know about Malcolm, but I don't want to go here."

"Come on, Annabeth. You'll love it here!" Fredrick's daughter, Annabeth Chase, looked gloomy as she scanned the school. He comforted her as the both of them, including Annabeth's brother, Malcolm, stood in front of the old building which was soon to be their new home for the rest of the year. The blonde, grey eyed beauty knew she would hate the boarding school. She knew no one in New York, let alone in the school, and she had bad feelings about the place.

The boarding school, Half Blood Academy, was made of stone and bricks, making it look extremely old. The campus was a good size, but there was too many students playing sports, studying, or running around.

"Are you sure? Why can't we go back to San Francisco, dad?" Annabeth replied, still eyeing the school.

Malcolm spoke up. Although he was younger than Annabeth, he was still much taller than her. He was 6'3'' tall, with wavy blond hair, and brown eyes. Annabeth Chase was tall also, being 5'11'', but not as tall as her brother, which Malcolm seemed to like.

"Oh, Annabeth…we both know why."

Annabeth tensed. She never understood how Malcolm could lightly talk, or at least hint, about their mother's death. She knew he was distraught as much as she was, but he handled it by drugs. It made him forget about the world, and not care the slightest bit about anything.

"Malcolm…just stop, son. Let's go to the school's office and sign you in."

Annabeth carried her suitcases, almost toppling over by how heavy they were. While two suitcases were filled with either clothes or devices, her other suitcases were filled with her old mother's books. A couple of her mom's books were her diaries when she was around Annabeth age, 16. Annabeth never knew her mom had diaries until she died, and her will stated to give Annabeth the books. She never had the chance to read them, but she made sure that she was going to make time to read them, no matter what.

Once they signed in, and met the headmaster, Mr. Dionysius, Malcolm and Annabeth's father drove off, leaving them all alone in a new boarding school.

"Malcolm…promise me that you'll be on your best behavior, alright?"

"What am I going to do? Knowing you, you'll probably be checking up on me every single minute of the day." He groaned.

"Just promise me that one favor, alright?"

"Whatever." He walked off, into the boy's section of the school.

Annabeth looked at him one last time before heading upstairs, which was the girl's section. The school had antique furniture, and almost everything was brown. There was brown walls, floors, rooms, and almost everything else Annabeth didn't count.

"…Room 631?" Annabeth mumbled, finally finding her room.

It was a good size, only for two people. One half of the room was already decorated with pictures and colorful posters for saving endangered species.

Annabeth placed her suitcases on her side of the room, and fell onto her comfortable bed. She didn't want to go to this ratty place; she wanted to be in San Francisco. Yes, bad memories were there, but she still wanted to stay there. Even though her mother died, Annabeth still wanted to relive the good moments she spent with her mom before the accident.

Before she got too deep into her thoughts though, someone interrupted her by their loud music. Annabeth quickly rolled out of bed to greet her new roommate, but the red head didn't even seem to notice the blonde behind her.

Although the unknown redhead had huge headphones, Annabeth still heard the quite weird music that spoke gibberish. The girl had old, paint splattered blue jeans and a bright yellow shirt on, making her look extremely noticeable.

"Hello?" The grey eyed girl asked unsurely, still deciding on whether or not introduce herself.

The red head seemed to notice Annabeth, because she turned around in surprise to see the blonde standing right before her.

"Are you my new roommate?" Was the first sentence the girl asked, looking at Annabeth up and down.

"Yeah, I'm Annabeth…it's nice to meet you..?"

"Rachel. Yeah, I love seeing new faces in the boarding school. Barely anything happens here…"

"Really?"

"Well, I mean, there are some things that go on in the school…but it's basically the same thing every year. Either some random chick or dude goes to their boyfriend or girlfriend's place to stay overnight…Chiron finds out though, soon enough." Rachel shrugged, acting as if that was a normal everyday experience.

"Have you done that before?" Annabeth joked.

"Of course I have."

"Seriously?"

"No."

Annabeth laughed at Rachel's good nature. She seemed so sweet and cool to hang out with. Rachel also liked Annabeth, for almost the same reasons.

"So, why did you come here?" Rachel asked, sitting on the edge of Annabeth's bed.

"What?" Annabeth asked, sitting next to Rachel.

"Everyone has a reason to come here…either it's a bad reason, or really bad reason."

Annabeth diverted her eyes, putting her curly strands behind her ears like she does when she gets nervous. Rachel seemed to catch on to the fact that Annabeth didn't want to dive into that topic right away, so Rachel explained the reason she got into Half Blood High.

"Well, if you want to know, I got into this place for a fairly bad reason; my parents thought I was a bit too much of a weirdo, and I ruined their image. I've been here for almost…3 years now, I think?"

Annabeth widened her eyes at the number. 3 years was a lot of time.

"You aren't bad…well, at least for the time being I met you."

"I'm not bad, I agree…but my parents think I'm a freak. If you haven't noticed, I'm not proper or elegant or basically anything like them."

"Hey, different is cool."

"I guess."

It was awkward until Annabeth piped up, wanting to make her new friend feel a bit better.

"You're probably one of the only students who went to this school for the longest time; you probably know this place like the back of your hand, unlike some people…and you also probably have a lot of friends."

Rachel considered what Annabeth had to say.

"Honestly…Chiron and Mr. Dionysius are way too strict so I don't know the entire place….but, you're kind of right about the friend's part. I have a couple of friends here and there."

"Great! Who are they?"

"Piper, Silena, Jason, Grover, Juniper, Nico, Leo, Ethan, Hazel, Frank, Luke…and Percy." Rachel sighed at the final person's name, and Annabeth's eyebrows rose.

"I assume you have a crush on that guy? Percy?"

"I've had a crush on him since forever. Well, actually, only 2 years…he's amazing."

"Tell me about him; I want to know who my friend's crush is!"

"There's not much to explain about Percy Jackson…he's a bit of a mystery, really. He stayed in this school than anyone ever has, except for Luke, they came at the same time…He has this bad boy reputation which is totally cute, and he flirts with me all the time, and…yeah. I don't really know how to explain him. He likes to swim?"

"Oh…that's nice." Annabeth slowly stated, not sure what to make out of the guy just yet. She hated bad boys. They were always so rude, and never cared about anything. In the back of her mind, Annabeth hoped she was wrong about Rachel's crush.

"He and his cousin, Luke, hate one another, though…well, they don't really hate each other…more like strongly dislike. Luke's sweet and kind and smart while Percy is the complete opposite, although sometimes he is smart."

"Hearing what you have to say, wouldn't Luke be a better choice to have a crush on?"

"Hey, the heart wants what it wants." Rachel countered.

"That's true."

Annabeth excused herself from her room, just to make sure Malcolm was doing alright with packing and not getting himself into trouble. She found his door open, and she walked in.

"Malcolm?" She asked, and he came out of a room sluggishly.

"Don't worry…I'm fine. You can go now." Malcolm replied, almost turning around to go back to where he came from.

"Don't do anything stupid, okay?" Annabeth said, wanting to reach out to her brother and help him become clean. She wanted to, but she knew she couldn't do it alone. She needed, and he needed, their mom back.

"Okay. Bye." He left, and Annabeth did too, but in separate directions.

As she was walking out, she bumped into someone, and quickly apologized.

"Sorry!" Annabeth backed up, getting a clear view of the stranger.

He had blond hair and amazing deep blue eyes. He was very handsome, and looked kind. His widened in surprise when he saw her, as if he saw a ghost.

"Um, no, no…it's fine…?" He replied, wanting to know Annabeth's name.

"I'm Annabeth, by the way. What's your name?" She smiled a bit, still embarrassed by bumping into him.

"Luke. It's nice to meet you, Annabeth."

Annabeth nodded, realizing that he was one of Rachel's friends. And also her crush's cousin.

"It's nice to meet you, too, Luke. Sorry for bumping into you in the hallways. I'm a bit clumsy, I guess."

"No problem…hey, um…Are you new here?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's my first day…I'm going to start my classes tomorrow and everything."

"I hope to see you around, then." He politely smiled, walking away.

"You too." Annabeth said when he left, her smile never leaving her face afterwards.
