AN; New story, hope you like it.

Summary: Annabeth doesn't want anything to do with anything. She wants to finish high school, and go to college to study Architecture. That is it. Percy is a troublemaker, determined to change his habits. Can these two help the other? Or ruin everything for them?

Rick Riordan owns all these characters. Though if Percy was real, I'd stalk him constantly. I mean.. Yaaay percabeth!

'Boarding school sucks.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading, and learning. Do not call me a nerd, or I will hit you. Got it? Good. Anyway, back to what I was saying. School itself is great. What isn't great is having to live here. Especially in a place so damn far away from any other sort of civilization! Like hello. Do the people who run this place not realize they are housing TEENAGERS here. Ugh. It might not have been so bad, if I had a girl roomie as well. But alas, co-ed dorms, means co-ed roommates. Which means I would have had to change in my bathroom every morning, or knock before I entered in case they were in here with a poor girl.

My luck is forthcoming though, and we have an uneven amount of students, so I get the room to myself. Which is good. I hate sharing. I hate people. I just want to do my work, get school over with, and go to Columbia for college. That's not too difficult to grasp, right? Good.

I know what you're thinking. Poor Annabeth, with that attitude, you must not have any friends. Well HA. Jokes on you. I do have friends. My best friends are Piper and Thalia. They aren't so lucky and have yucky boy roommates. Though Thalia has her brother Jason as a roomie, so it's not that gross, I guess. Poor Pipes has to room with an over eccentric, highly annoying Leo though. How she gets anything done is beyond me.

All the dorm rooms look exactly alike though, so I have to deal with a stupid bunk-bed even though I'm all alone. Mostly my stuff is strewn about on the top bunk, and I use the bottom one in case I want to watch a movie on the TV or something. My desk is covered with books, papers and pictures. Normal. All very normal. All very according to plan. The headmaster mentioned we might get a new girl, so at least my luck is good for something. The plan is simple;

Study

Graduate

Get accepted and attend Columbia

No boys.

No parties.

No fun.

Anyway. It's about to be 7am, and I haven't gone for my morning run yet, so I should be off. '

Annabeth shut her computer, and put on her shoes. Her morning run was the only time she got fresh air during the day, since all her classes were in one building. The cafeteria is in the mess hall, on the other side of campus, but she usually spends her lunches in the library, studying and working on extra work. After school she works at the library, it doesn't pay a bunch, but a little extra cash works wonders when you need a snack in class.

As she laces up her shoes, she sighs and pulls her hair up into a tight ponytail high on her head, making her blond curls bounce around and frame her face. Finally ok with not looking like a troll, she heads out, locking the door and jogging down the steps to the outside world. As she bursts through the front door she inhales deeply, and smiles. Mid October air slaps her in the face, and she zips up her sweater all the way to protect her skin from drying out.

She sets off towards the woods outlining the campus, taking her long course this morning. Looping around toward the main office, she stops to take a breather and notices a new car in the parking lot. Checking her heart rate, she decides to ignore it and keep running. Probably the new girl she was getting for a roommate. She didn't clean out her room that much, but it was enough to manoeuvre around without hitting too many things. She hoped.

As she continued her circuit of the school, she came across the pool house and heard a splash. Stopping only for a second, still bouncing on the balls of her feet, she peered into the big glass window just in time to see a flurry of black hair and toned limbs dive into the water. Sighing, she continued on her way, heading home to take a shower. As she walked into her room, she looked at the clock and saw it read 7:55AM. Content with having 35 minutes to get ready, she pulled her hair out of its bind and made her way over to the adjoining bathroom.

15 minutes later, clean and refreshed, Annabeth covered herself with a towel and head out into her room to grab her uniform. As she turned the corner coming out, she walked right into something.

"Oomph!" was the sound she made as she hit the ground, losing her towel in the process. Rubbing her head where she hit something hard, she opened her eyes and finally noticed what she hit.

Or well.

Who she hit.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't hear the shower sto-" his voice cut off when he looked down and saw everything. Literally everything. His face instantly went 50 shades of red, all the way to his ears and neck. Shutting his eyes tightly, he turned around and stood up, walking over to his bag on the bottom bunk.

"SHIT." Was all Annabeth thought as she grasped her towel and jumped up. Her leg muscles screaming at her for the assault after her long run this morning. Ignoring the pleas, she grabbed her uniform and dashed back into the bathroom.

Leaning her head against the door, she let out a shaky breath she didn't know she was holding.

Quietly she said again, "shit shit shit."

What a way to start living together.

-oOo-

Splash!

He dove into the water, fingers pointed and soaring through the water like a needle. A flurry of limbs, dark hair and splashing. He made it to the other side of the pool and dipped down into the water, rolling and launching himself off the wall. Breaking the surface, he inhales deeply and begins kicking his feet quickly. Reaching the starting wall in record time. He leans his arms on edge of the pool and pulls off his goggles and cap.

"Percy, this is Jason Grace. He's going to show you to your room." Breathing heavily, he pulls himself out of the water and shakes his head like a dog. Spraying water everywhere. Thankfully there was only the headmaster and Jason around, so they got hit by the brunt of the water.

Laughing and wiping water off his face, Jason held out his hand for Percy to shake.

"Hey man, I'm Jason. I live right across the hall from you, so if you ever need anything just let me know, deal?" Jason asked, as him and Percy shook hands.

"Sure thanks."

They head off towards the dorm after Percy returned from changing into dry clothes. His hair was still wet, so they hurried to their destination.

"Hey man," Percy started as they walked through the front door of the dorms building.

"Whats up?" Jason replied, waving at the lady at the front desk.

"Is it true there are uh, co-ed dorms here?" Percy asked quietly, looking around curiously.

Jason laughed again and replied "Yeah, your roommate is Chase. She's a bit of a handful, and has been in her own dorm for awhile. Like I said, I'm right across the hall if you need anything."

"Is your roomie hot?" Percy asked, looking a little excited.

"Ew, dude. I room with my sister. Ugh!" Jason exclaimed, looking very grossed out at the idea.

Percy laughed and apologized. Still though, he was curious. As they neared his room, he got anxious.

Jason pointed at the door to Percy's room, and then gutted his thumb to the door behind his back.

"Like I said, right across the hall. Now go get ready and put on your uniform. Classes start in about 20 minutes. I'll show you where they are as well." Jason said with a smile, turning and disappearing behind the door.

Turning around, Percy fumbled with his keys and finally got the door open. Once inside he noticed how messy the place was. Granted, his roomie was a girl, and she had lived on her own for awhile, so it's no doubt that she got comfortable with it. Then he noticed the sound of the shower running, and assumed it was her. So he walked over to the bed and put his stuff on the bottom bunk, since her blanket and pillow were on the top one. Percy turned around to look for a dresser of some sort, or something to put his clothes in as the bathroom door swung open and out came his roommate.

In nothing but a towel.

And she ran right into him.

"oomph!" was the sound she made as they hit the floor, limbs everywhere.

"I'm so sorry I didn't hear the shower sto-" Percy voice cut off when he noticed her towel had fallen off from the fall. Silky porcelain skin and messy blonde curls along with a pretty curvy body accompanied his roommate appearance. Percy's face went about 50 shades of red, stretching to his ears and neck as well. Springing up and turning towards his bag he busied himself with whatever he could. He heard shuffling, then the bathroom door slam shut again.

Letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding, Percy quietly mumbled to himself, "wow. What a way to start living together." Smiling to himself, he noticed another part of his body responded well to seeing a very naked, very beautiful girl in front of him.

Changing quickly, he closed the door behind him and knocked on Jason's door.

"Hey man," Jason said as he opened the door. He was standing there in his standard uniform, the only sign showing he was a senior was the red tie he needed to wear. The odd colours of his outfit didn't suit well with his blonde hair and blue eyes, but he somehow pulled it off.

"Yo Jase, move your big ass out of the doorway!" A girls voice came from behind Jason, and he smiled and stepped out the door.

"Percy, this is Thalia, my sister. Thals, this is Percy. Chase's new roomie." Jason said with a knowing smile.

Thalia. Her spiky black hair stuck out every which way he could imagine, the only resemblance these two had to being related was their blue eyes. Everything else was a stark opposite from the other. Jason's pale complexion to Thalia's olive skin. Blond hair to black hair. These two were definitely not twins. She was however, a senior just like Jason. Her red tie was wrapped loosely around her throat, clearly showing she did not want to wear it.

"Hey, whats up?" She asked.

Percy smiled and simply said nothing in response.

"Ready to go to class?" Jason asked.

"Mhmm, just waiting on you." Percy replied, smiling still. Him and Jason started walking down the hall when Jason spoke over his shoulder, "Tell Chase I said hi!"

"Yeah yeah, I'll tell her girlfriend you said hi." Thalia retorted, snickering as Jason stammered out a terrible lie. His face bright red, he just turned to look ahead and said nothing as they made their way over to the academic building.

While they walked, Percy thought to himself, "I think I'm going to like it here." He smiled at his thought.
