Chapter 1 Again

I am currently a junior, attending my amazing high school, Northfield High. Today was the best and worst day of my life.

You may ask why, here's the story. I was in science class, with my horrible teacher, Mr. Grimp., and suddenly the phone rang.

Mr. Grimp went to pick up the phone, cursing under his breath as he went. We all started whispering quietly, or as quietly as we can with 36 people whispering. Anyways, I was chatting with my friend Shannon, a girl with honey blond hair and green eyes, daughter of Apollo. She and I became friends when I first came to Northfield High, not knowing anyone. Mr. Grimp suddenly called my name, giving me shivers. Apparently I was called to the principal's office. I excused myself from class with Mr. Grimp yelling the huge amount of homework after me and ran towards the office.

Mrs. Roch, our principal, greeted me as I walked in. There was a boy sitting there in a chair looking bored. I ignored him but I had this feeling I was called because of him.

"Hi Mrs. Roch, how can I help?" I asked sincerely.

"Hi Annabeth, I would like you to show our new junior around", she said, "His name is Perseus, he has all the same classes as you."

I froze after the word Perseus. Perseus Jackson. There it is again. That name. I slowly turned around and saw him. The guy who broke my heart an year ago. The guy that lost my trust. Percy looked at me once again with those seaweed green eyes, the ones that I get lost in, his hair messed up the way I liked it. I mean used to.

"Hi", he said to me timidly, as if afraid I was going to explode with anger or cry a river.

Actually, I was very confused right now.

"H-hi Perc-Perseus, I'd be happy to show you around," though my eyes clearly shot a look that I had no intention of making this easy.

He flinched a bit and said "Okay".

As we stepped outside the office and onto the white pavement, there was an awkward silence dawning upon us.

After what seems like a million years, I finally said, "Nice to see you again".

"Yes, it's been a while huh?" he replied.

"Yup, a while. So, how come you suddenly transferred here, I thought you loved Goode High. I mean, you had a perfect life, being the running back in football and having a perfect girlfriend," I grimaced at the last two words.

"My parents moved to my stepfather's house to live because his parents are sick. I wanted to stay here, close to my friends, so I'm living with a roommate," he said, noticing my grimace, "Oh, it never worked between us anyways, and she dumped me once again after a month."

You see, before I started dating him, he's dated that girl, named LESLIE once and once again after we broke up and made up. It's never lasted more than a month and a half. Serves them right. I must've had a daydreaming look on my face since he was waving his hand in front of my face.

"Oh" was all I said.

"Yeah..so, Annabeth, how've you been doing?"

I flinched when he said my name because that's exactly how he said it when he loved me. That soft, caring voice. At least I think he loved me.

"I've been fine", muttering not like you care under my breath,

"Well come on, it's my job to show you around here".

"O-oh okay, Annabeth, I still-" he started.

"This is the lockers" I said, cutting him off, I seriously didn't want to hear a word from him. It was my bad karma to even get assigned to show him around.
