Author's note: I am new to , but I am more or less decently experienced at the art of writing fanfiction. This story was created during one of my creativity surges, and places Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase in their sophomore year in high school. They meet and develop crushes on each other instantly. However, they have to deal with the following: The Mean girls, (Rachel, Calypso, and Drew) also, this incarnation of Luke shall be an antagonist character (though I support him being a Hero in the alternate reality in which they are demigods), and worst of all, overbearing parents. This is a high school story, as if I didn't already say that.

Disclaimer: As if I could be Rick Riordan. I'm not throwing these two down into the pits of hell and making you wait a year.

So, without further ado, lets delve into the minds of Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, totally invade their private lives, and give them one absolute hell of a rough time. Not literally.

"With the Cold, shall come Light. And with the Blade comes thy Right."

Chapter 1

It's not like I can't stand school, I don't necessarily hate it or love it. It has its pros and cons. Cons like the "Bad Girls" I guess you could call them. I'm talking about Rachel E. Dare, Calypso Atlas, and Drew Aschimos. And Luke, who is practically the leader of the jocks who flirts with any girl who catches his fancy, regardless of whether or not he's single at the time. There are pros, like having my stepdad Paul as one of my teachers, and another one being I have many friends here as well. Also there's- "Percy! There's a new girl in school and I hear she's really hot!" Leo interrupts. Well, that's not what I was going to say at all. Anyway, I sighed and got up, not caring whether I was following Leo anyways. Besides, this girl was probably like the rest. Face covered in make-up, way too revealing clothes, and tries to flirt with me every chance she gets. Good God, do we really need more of them?

Annabeth's POV: As I head down the of Goode High hallway, I try to ignore the boys. I get a few wolf whistles and stares. What? I'm not wearing any make-up, I'm not wearing any provocative clothes, and I'm not swaying my hips or anything. I keep my eyes on the floor, but that's a bad move, because I round a corner, and if you guessed that cliché scenario where I accidently bump into my new school's number one hot guy and end up on the floor, you are a winner!

I groan and lift my gaze and bam! My eyes connect with eyes that were a brilliant green with blue flecks. That was the first thing I noticed before I scan the rest of the person. Jet-black unruly hair that actually looked cool, a slightly tight fitting short sleeve T-shirt that showed off his muscular body, and a radiant scent that smelled like the ocean. My mind immediately guessed that he was the hottest guy in school.

Percy's POV: I met the eyes of who was without a doubt the most attractive girl I'd ever seen. Her skin was flawless with a perfectly tan complexion, and she had curves in all the right places. Her curly hair was a golden blonde color, but what really surprised me were her intelligent eyes, they were a stormy gray color. "Hey…" I managed. "Hey," the new girl's angelic voice softly spoke. I immediately return everything I said earlier. This girl was nowhere near as horrible as the others. She was the embodiment of beauty. I mentally kicked myself back to actual consciousness, and gathered the books she had dropped.

She gathered her things and put them in her arms again. "Hey, are you the new girl?" I asked. "Yeah, I am," She answered. Not much of talker. She didn't want to open up. She probably had divorced parents like me. My father had left my mother and I when I was little, and wanted custody of me, but my mother somehow prevented that.

"So, what's your name?" "Annabeth Chase." "Cool name," "Thanks,"

Well then. This was awkward. I heard someone wolf whistle behind me. "Does the great Perseus Jackson finally have a crush?" Leo said behind me. One fetal positioned repair boy later, I turned back to Annabeth. "Ignore him. The name's Percy Jackson, if you'd like, I can show you around," She gave a small smile and I grinned almost reflexively. "Sure…" She replied, blushing a little. I stood and offered her my hand.

Our hands met and I almost felt like an electric shock ran through me. She let go after she stood. I asked for her schedule, and she had all the same classes as me. So I led her to the Math room. There were only two seats left and they were right next to each other in the corner.

Annabeth's POV: The room fell silent as we walked in. I felt about 20 pairs of eyes on me, so I, hating being the center of attention, sat down in the seat closest to the wall. Percy sat in the one next to me. I kept glancing at him from time to time and almost caught myself staring. I tried to pay attention, I really did. But Percy kept distracting me merely with his presence. He didn't seem to be looking at me at all. Then a red headed girl in the opposite corner said quite loudly, "Teacher? I keep noticing the new girl staring at Percy!"

Percy's POV: The class erupted in a chorus of "OOoooHHHhhh!" And one kid started doing the "Percy and Annabeth sitting in a tre-" I cut him and everyone else off. "Rachel, be a good Ginger and go suck out someone else's soul!" Rachel's jaw dropped, along with the teachers and half of the class as well. The other half, my friends, Thalia, Nico, Grover, Juniper, Piper, Jason, Leo, Clarisse, and Chris all burst into laughter. I simply grinned and relaxed in my seat as we all calmed down. "Percy! Apologize to Rachel Now!" The teacher demanded. This is the reply of my friends and I:

Jason- "I say she deserved it!"

Piper- "Percy was defending the new girl!"

Leo- "Besides, with a sarcastic streak like his, how can you punish him?"

Nico- "Rachel doesn't deserve an apology."

Thalia- "I'd punish Rachel for invading other people's privacy!"

Clarisse- "She deserves a punch to the face for that!"

Chris- "That had to have been one of his best comebacks yet!"

Me- "I'm not apologizing for giving Rachel what she had coming a thousand times over."

I realized that my voice had echoed around the room a bit and papers shifted like they had been blown on. The Teacher, now exasperated, gave up. "Alright, Alright! No punishment if it will quiet you all down!" I leaned back in my chair, and grinned. The benefits of having friends were amazing. Sure, we teased each other, but when someone on the outside threatens us, we all team up to annoy them until they give up on it.

It all started one time in sixth grade in a game of dodge ball, when we were put on a team together. We ended up working together perfectly as if we had worked together millions of times, and my cousins, Jason, Nico, and I didn't hang out before then, but when we gave each other boosts into the air to hit people from above, we won in no time and we and the rest of the gang had stuck together ever since.

Back in the present, I grinned at Annabeth and she smiled back and mouthed, Thank you, I simply nodded.

Annabeth's POV: That was amazing! I'd never seen such teamwork before in my life. Percy and his friends defended me when I was embarrassed. I went to my locker, opened it up and dropped off my unnecessary items, and closed it. I turned to see an angry Redhead, the one from before along with some other girls.

She slammed me against my locker, and hissed, "Listen, you freak, Percy is MINE, so you better not think about making any moves on-," She was interrupted, as she was kicked to the side and onto the floor. Percy glared at her and her friends and they ran off in fear. His eyes were an Icy blue color when he was angry, I noticed. His expression changed to one of worry as he turned back to me.

"Are you Okay?" he asked. I nodded. "Yeah, thanks for helping me in class too. I'm really impressed with how you and your friends worked together like that, it was awesome," He laughed and started walking towards our next class, waving for me to follow. "Yeah, we've been like that for a while. You know, I like you; you're not like the other girls. How about you join our group? You know what they say, strength in numbers."

"Really?" I asked. "Yeah, we tease each other and stuff, but it's good natured. We're all pretty close, and when someone else tries to insult one of us, we don't tolerate it," He told me. I smiled. "Seems nice, I guess, but I don't want to intrude," "It's fine, Annabeth. The gang already defended you. They like you." I smiled again. "Well…Okay I guess I could join you,"
