This idea just came to me one night! hope you enjoy it! BTW, the charachters will prbly be a bit OCC, just to warn you! Oh yeah I do not own PJatO, Rick does!

I have been attending Goode High School for a few moths now. And I was getting news about my first school field trip. My World History teacher Mrs. Lunes was talking about the trip "I'm happy to let you know that we got permission from the school that we had enough money saved up from last year to be able to allow this year's freshmen to go to an out of the country field trip, free of charge!" Mrs. Lunes said the last part slowly so we could all comprehend it, don't tell Annabeth this but it did help me.

"But to where? Somewhere interesting I hope!" My best friend, Greg, blurted out, he was never patient. It's really hard to explain. I have a lot of friends and amazingly I'm popular. I guess its all thanks to Greg. Greg has light brown hair very unruly and just a little shorter then mine. Every girl loves him! Well, use to love him all the girls stopped when he started going out with Rachel. Well it happened like this. On the first day of school Greg saw me talking to Rachel Elizabeth Dare, and I guess he thought she looked pretty or something. He asked me if I was going out with Rachel at which point I just laughed, after that Greg and I have been great friends. I finally convinced him to go out with Rachel, after about three or four weeks into school and she said yes he was thankful for that but I can't even picture why someone popular like Greg who has most of the girls after him likes Rachel. Since they started going out all the girls started going after me, but I don't really like any of them as more then a friend but I guess they don't really get it. Oh well.

"I was getting to that Greg," Mrs. Lunes was a bit annoyed but who really cares? Hey! I didn't know teachers knew how to give student death glares! It isn't as good as Annabeth's…gods I haven't talked to Annabeth in like months maybe I should iris message her later wait no that whole argument was her fault I'm not saying sorry to her! "As I was saying, for this trip we will be going to Greece. Were going to be traveling all around Greece. We will be comparing ancient Greece to present day Greece. Now, be in mind that most of the signs in Greece are in Greek, and I happen to know that most of you haven't quite memorized the Greek language yet. Some of you have though. I think this will be a great learning experience for everyone and hopefully all of you will be able to go. To reduce stress between the teachers only two classes will be going at once instead of the entire grade. You will be going with Mr. Blofis, and myself. So Greg are you satisfied with my answer?"

"Yes, Mrs. Lunes!" Greg groaned.

"All right well there's ten minutes left of class, thank goodness, read your pamphlets and talk among yourselves." Mrs. Lunes was clearly happy it was the last class of the day.

The pamphlets were just about a bunch of sights that's worth seeing while in Greece and a lot of the Greek myths-for what most mortals believe to be myths- and the permission slips which took a while to read with my dyslexia. If I got this right my class is going on the trip in about one week and that we'd be staying in a hotel, the trip was on the Monday, April 13. "So we're going on a trip with your mom's boy friend huh? Interesting how it worked out that way. Well anyways I'm glad we're going with this class. Hey do you know any romantic places in Greece somewhere I can take Rachel too? I mean you are half-Greek and all."

"Uh… I'm Greek. Yes. But I've never been there but I think my friend Annabeth mentioned something about a restaurant called Boschetto which is found in álsos Evagelismou' which is a very small forest in the area. She said something about always wanting to there because its so romantic and all."

"Oh… okay. Hey! You didn't tell me you had a girl friend! So tell me about this Annabeth of yours."

"I'm not going out with anyone! Annabeth is just one of my friends from this camp I go to every summer! That's all!" I said that a bit louder then I meant it to be. Not a lot of people heard it but Rachel who sat a row in front of us did.

Suddenly Rachel grew interested in our conversation, oh great. "So Percy what's this about Annabeth? Have you two gotten together yet?"

"No, and were not gonna cause we don't like each other!" I said very annoyed.

"Hey, Rach you know Annabeth? Did you go to Percy's camp or something? And who exactly is Annabeth?" It really funny when Greg is out of the loop because most of the time he's the one who knows everything about anything.

"Yeah Rach, who is Annabeth?" Our friend Jenni asked us. She sat next to Rachel so she obviously heard everything. Jenni has dark hair. So dark it looks like black. She has light brown eyes and she was pretty. All the guys like her, but she doesn't like any of them, well as far as I know anyways. Everyone thinks I like her because I talk to Jenni a lot! Ha, like that means a thing! Jenni and I are just friends, and that's it!

"Well I don't go to his camp I met them when they were doing this camp field trip only for a few campers and they got into a jam at Hoover Dam and I helped them out. Then they went on a whole new field trip last summer and Percy and Annabeth needed my help again so I helped them out. After that we all got to know each other and stuff. Annabeth and I didn't get along at first but as we got to know each other after we realized that we actually had lot to talk about." She ended that sentence with a few giggles, obviously remembering what ever she said before when she and Annabeth were talking during out small little break from the labyrinth.

"Okay but who's Annabeth? Rachel can you describe her please?"

"Sure, well she has honey blonde hair, stormy gray eyes, a total smarty-pants. She's intimidating at times other times she's funny and sarcastic, uh… she's Percy's best friend and Percy definitely likes her. And it's so obvious!"

"Really? Hmm… hard to believe Percy actually likes a girl! I mean you've never liked a girl in all the months we've been at Goode!"

"Haha… but now that you mention it, it is hard to see Percy with a girl. Hmm… I still can't really picture Annabeth though. Hey Jackson do you have a picture of her? Please!" he looked really hopeful just to look at Annabeth. Rachel was still giggling, probably at the thought of me having Annabeth's picture with me. I could feel my cheeks reddening.

"Oh… uh… well yeah I have a picture with me and uh… here you go." I opened up my world history notebook to the very last page and showed it to them. It was just a picture of Annabeth and me sitting under a tree (A/N: lol Annabeth and Percy sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G) we were wearing out regular cloths and by regular I mean nothing with the word 'demigod' or the word 'half-blood' I was just wearing my jeans, a simple blue shirt and my camp necklace on as always. Annabeth was wearing a green shirt, light blue jeans and her hair was down. She had an architect book with her; it was the same one I gave her on her birthday. We were both looking down at the book I gave her and as I remember all she was saying was thank you. It was the book she wanted not only that but I was smart enough to give her a copy that was in Greek.

"Wow, Percy you two sure look like a couple in here." Jenni just so happened to mention. Both Rachel and Greg were smirking. Just my luck why'd I have to show them the picture! Gods Annabeth's right I am a Seaweed Brain, but if she asks I never said that!

"Well were not! I was just giving her, her birthday present that's all! Then my friend Grover took that picture without either of us noticing. A few hours later he got Silena to develop the picture because according to her it was just too cute not to develop. So Grover gave a copy to Silena, Annabeth and me. After that Annabeth and I almost killed Grover." I was even redder and I started smiling a lot too. Just remembering that day. It was about a month after the "Battle of the Labyrinth" took place. We were all still upset about all the loses during the battle but we still managed to have a good time that day.

"Wow, do they always make fun of you and Annabeth for liking each other?"

"Yeah basically! But Annabeth doesn't like me! I'm really sure she doesn't."

"Well what about you?" Rachel, Jenni and Greg were really focused on what I would say after that. To be honest I do like Annabeth, as more then a friend. But the problem was Annabeth doesn't like me.

After that last sentence I just darted my eyes looking from Greg to Rachel. I was thinking too much in my head thinking of ways to get out of this. Man, I'd rather be battling Kronos on my 16th birthday right now! Luckily for me the bell rang! As soon as I heard that I was relived. "Oh, sorry guys bell rang I got to get out of here and meet Paul! He's driving me back to my house. So uh… see you guys around." After that I ran out the door. Happy to meet up with Paul. Yeah well everyone in school already knows that Paul is going out with my mom. At first I was dreading it but I eventually found out that it didn't really matter to anyone. I'm still "popular" according to Rachel, Greg and everyone else in my grade; at least I didn't let it get to my head.

I went to my locker and grabbed my jacket and any other books I'd need for the weekend. Everyone was stopping by going "hey Percy!" or "what's up?" I saw a few girls giggling over at me waving as always; I've gotten use to it all. After that I headed for the English classroom and saw Paul putting test papers in his brief case. My mom thought that it would be good to tell Paul about me being a half-blood so we decided to tell him about a month ago and amazingly he took it pretty well. "Hey, Paul! Don't get mad at me for using your first name the last bell rang already!" I held up my hands jokingly.

"Haha, Percy. So I hear your class will be going with Mrs. Lunes and me."

"Yeah… did you and my mom have anything to do with that?" Even though he's my English teacher, I still got a few chances to joke with him. After all I have known him since I was in 7th grade and he even asked me about him purposing to my mom! This dude is a pretty fun person to talk to!

"Well your mom asked me if I could convince them to let me go with your class, oh well lets get you home so you can start your homework."

"Don't you mean so we can see my mom?" I raised my eyebrow at Paul, but we just ended up chuckling at the thought. Paul did look a little pink in the cheek area though.

After that we left through the back parking lot. As we were walking a few of my classmates called out "hey" I just replied with a "hey" occasionally giving a high five here or there and soon Paul and I were out of the school. We were in front of my apartment in about ten minutes.

"Hey mom, I'm home and Paul's with me! Not only that but I have a permission slip for you to sign! I'm going on a free out of country field trip." I screamed not really focusing it on anybody.

"Oh, hello. I'm in the kitchen come on in and let me see the slip. It's the trip to Greece right? Where exactly will you be?"

"Uh… everywhere I guess. I'm going with Paul's class and don't worry about the whole monster thing. Rachel's in my class and she can see through the mist."

"Alright but I still think you should ask Chiron about it." She gave me one of those famous mom stares. You know the 'you-better-do-what-I-say-or-else' looks.

"Oh… fine I'll be in my room I'm gonna go call camp." I trudged off to my room mumbling something about hoping Annabeth wont be there when I call.

"Alright dear. Say hi to Annabeth for me!" She was giggling to herself "trying" not to be noticed. Paul just seemed to hide his smile. I continued walking to my room pouting a bit but I could feel my cheeks getting redder with every mention of her name.

I got into my room and used my landline. I have a cell phone too but I mostly use it as an emergency line. Tyson said something about making a half-blood phone one where our scent wont be tracked and we'll still be able to call from anywhere at anytime. Hope that'll work out for him. I dialed the camp number and almost immediately I heard someone speak "Hello? This is Annabeth Chase, who may I ask is this?" oh crap! It's Annabeth. Just act like you don't care its her, because you don't. Right?

"Hey, its Percy. I need to talk to Chiron so can you just go and get him now?"

"Oh, why exactly do you need Chiron?"

"Why do you want to know exactly? Well anyways just go get Chiron. I don't feel much like talking right now. The only reason why I called was because my mom wanted me to ask Chiron something."

"Fine. Fine. I'll go get him then we'll IM you! Okay?"

"Fine… bye!" I hung up the phone immediately. Yeah I was basically a grouch with the whole thing. Not only that but I could easily tell she was rolling her eyes the whole time. I waited a few minutes and then I got an IM from Chiron and unfortunately Annabeth was there too. Luckily for me Tyson was there.

"Hi Percy!" they all said at the same time.

"Oh hey guys." I said happy to see Tyson and Chiron. And yeah I guess sort of Annabeth, but I'm still not saying sorry to her! I mean it isn't my fault she's in love with a crazy madman who wants to over throw the gods of mount Olympus and rebuilt the world all over again so the titans can rule and anyone who doesn't help him with the whole plan has to be slaves or dead. Yes, she's in love with a psycho.

"Yes well Percy what is it you wanted to ask me?" at that moment my cell phone beeped showing that I got a new text message.

"Oh uh… hold on I'll just read this small little text from a friend of mine." I said while I picked up my phone and started reading the text.

"Hey Percy U wanna come ova my house?

Greg and Jenni will b there.

Come ova 7 my rent's wont mind.

Rach"

I quickly replied back, to Rachel saying…

"Yea sure! I'll b there.

Cya guys lata!

D

Percy"

I've gotten use to the whole phone thing. My mom and Paul got me the unlimited text offer from version. It's the easiest way for me to use a phone. Since I text my friends a lot I can text without having to look at it. Which is good for me since it wont make my head hurt. I went back to talking to Chiron, Tyson and Annabeth. "Yeah… sorry 'bout that! Well we have an out of country field trip and my mom and Paul wanted to know if it's safe for me to go. So is it? Paul is one of the teachers and Rachel Elizabeth Dare will be going too. She's in my class so yeah."

"Wait what! Your going on an out of country trip with that red head! And what exactly was that text about?"

"Um… yeah she's in my class. And uh… Rachel text me to see if I could go over to her house later, and meet up with a few of our friends. So yeah is it ok for me to go on the trip?" Annabeth looked in shocked either at how I'm going over to Rachel's place, or how I have friends, most likely both.

"I believe its safe for you to go. It's out of the United States so I believe the monsters will most likely stay away but it's a good thing you have Rachel in your class. Make sure she tells you if there's any trouble around you. The only real problem you have is the flight through Zeus's domain. Perhaps I could talk Zeus for you I'll let you know about it tomorrow. Alright?"

"Alright Chiron, and thanks." And at that Chiron left.

"Wait a minute your going to Rachel's house! Are you two dating or something?" I started laugh at the thought!

"That's a good one! I'm not going out with her! Rachel and I are just friends that's all. Greg and Jennifer will be there too." I was laughing so much over Annabeth thinking I was going out with Rachel.

"Oh well I'm not jealous I'm just uh… shocked that you're going over a friends house. I mean you having friends outside the camp! Ha now its my turn to laugh."

"Uh… Annabeth hate to break it to you but I actually have a lot of friends at Goode." Annabeth just started laughing hysterically so I just left her alone to calm down.

"Percy! Percy," Tyson was acting like a little kid right now! He's raising his hands and waving it franticly as if he was a 3rd grader in class. "I want to show you something!"

"Alright big guy what is it?" I was chucking at seeing Tyson so excited then Tyson bent down to pick up something that looked a lot like a regular phone.

"It's a half-blood phone! The boss agreed to make it for half-bloods! He's going to be selling it! He put Charles and me in charge of selling it in camp half-blood! Starts tomorrow and will continue every weekend! Hephaestus made it the latest model. 350 drachmas! Are you interested?"

"Oh my gods! You really did make them! Great for you big guy! And yeah save me one do you have any in blue?"

"Yup! That was the first color I suggested for them to make!"

"Cool! Well I have to start on my homework now. Do you think you could have someone deliver the cell to me?"

"Yup, Hephaestus got Hermes to do a delivery service for the phones but he gets 25 percent of the profit. Annie anything you want to add?"

"Huh? Oh sorry still in shock Percy Jackson doing his homework on a Friday! Are you sure your Percy?"

"Haha… very funny! Well I'm gonna get it all done just 'cause its just easy for me. I only have my world history homework today."

"Whoa! Homework easy for you!" she was laughing so much. I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Were learning about Greece in that class. The homework is in Greek and we're supposed to translate the phrases to English. Easy."

"Oh, alright well bye."

"Yeah… wait! Annabeth why are you in camp? I thought you would have gone back home by now."

"Well I did but I come here almost every Friday and weekend then head back to California on Sunday, just cause California is so boring. No one to talk to there!" she was complaining again.

"Wow, that must cost you a lot of money! And as to no one to talk to, I mean I know you and your mortal part of the family don't get along very well but what about your friends at school?"

"Well, my mom made the arrangements. And my step-uncle drives a plane so we pay for a cheaper price if not then a free prize, but I have to help hand some stuff out. And you know how it is in high school I mean for half bloods in high school. No one around you that's a half blood, I mean your at a regular high school you must know what its like not having friends in your freshmen year at Goode. "

"Um… I made friends at Goode!"

"Yeah, sure you did. Show me a picture of you guys!"

"Okay fine! Here's one with some of us last Friday night at skate night!" I held up the picture up to Annabeth so she could see. I had my arm around Jenni's shoulders and she had hers around my shoulders. Rachel was next to me making bunny ears on top of my head and she just had her arm around Greg's waist. Greg's arm was around Rachel. People surrounded all of us. And we were all smiling without a care in the world.

"Oh, well that does look like a lot of people. Hey, who's that girl you have your arms around?" She looked surprised and worried all at the same time.

"Oh, that's one of my best friends at Goode, Jennifer we just call her Jenni, and strangely she prefers writing it with an 'I'. Rachel is really good friends with her and I'm good friends with Greg, the dude with his arms around Rachel, they're going out with each other.

"Bye" Annabeth said.

"Bye, bye!" Tyson was still happy, I guess 'cause he got to see me.

After that I told my mom what Chiron said and about the phone thing, which she and Paul said I could and should get. My mom gave me the 350 drachmas for when Tyson sends Hermes to give me my new phone. They said I could go to Rachel's house and before I knew it I finished my homework and ate my dinner. It was about 6:45 by now and I decided to start walking. Rachel's house wasn't that far from me and when I got there it ended up being just a bit boring. None of them could figure out the homework. Yes they all had their homework with them.

"Arggggg… Jenni your smart! What does this thing mean?" Greg was seriously confused. He was pointing to the Δεν βρέθηκαν λέξεις symbols.

"I'm smart with some things but I cant make heads or tails with this Greek! I can't make heads or tails with Greek." Jenni replied. And with that Greg just groaned again.

"Gods you guys are hopeless when it comes to ancient Greek! Erre es korakas, duh!" I was getting annoyed with there groaning at such a simple language. So this is what Annabeth feels. I can see why she's so short tempered most of the time with me. Oh well.

"And the hell is erre what ever suppose to mean!"

"It means 'Go to the crows'.

"Oh... wait how do you know? We all assumed you were dumb."

"Hey! I'm half Greek remember? I can read and understand it pretty well. By the way the next one is 'Bask' ithi and it means 'Go!'"

"Oh okay, I knew that! So… what's the next one?"

"S'agapo it means 'I love you'"

"Oh… hey rachel! S'agapo!"

"Dude, you have a horrible accent!" everyone started laughing.

"Oh well at least he tried. S'agapo to you to!" Rachel said. Jenni and I just groaned about it, like every time they get into that whole lovey dovey fase. Which is often.

"Okay Jackson next please!"

"Oh sorry guys I got to go!" It was about 9:30 and I had to talk

"What why? No school tomorrow."

"Just leaving 'cause you guys are boring me, and 'cause I'm expecting a packaged to come for me either tonight or tomorrow."

"Alright see ya dude!" Greg said giving me a high five.

"Oh yeah I'm gonna get a new cell this weekend I'll text you guys if I get a new number."

"Alright. See ya later." Jenni and Rachel called out.

"Yup"

After that I left Rachel's huge house and walked back to my house. As soon as I came in Hermes popped in. "Delivery, for Mr. Perseus Jackson, a new cell phone sea-green color, 350 drachmas please!"

"Hello, Hermes, good to see you again." I called out to the god wearing sweats with a small package in his right hand.

"Yeah, same to you too kid. Well anyways no times for chitchat hand over the drachmas and you can get your cell. Hurry up kiddo, no time like the present I always say." He was rushing and he kept looking at his watch.

"Alright just let me run to my room and get the money." I jogged off to my room to get the bag of money.

"Here you are Hermes. See ya when i see ya!" I said while handing over the bag.

"Ya got it kiddo!"

Hermes left in a blink of an eye. And I didn't even bother thinking about it I just quickly went to my room and programmed my new cell. Amazingly it was already programmed, not only that but Tyson managed to let me keep my old number. How'd he get my number? Oh well. Lets see what numbers he put down. Well I already have all my camp friends numbers, the camps number, my home phone, Chiron and I even got Mr. D ha like I'd ever call it. I just have to add in all my mortal friends. When I was done with that I decided to test it out. But call whom? I guess I'll call my mom. I loved this phone, the background is darker then the white text so its a lot easier to read for half-bloods. My mom picked up the phone and asked me what's wrong and that she was in the kitchen so no need to call.

"Yeah I know just testing out the new phone, its great by the way and still my regular number. The phone works from anywhere all over the world! It's on a half-blood service! Perfect for my trip to Greece."

"Yes, Yes Percy. Now stop bragging about your new fantastic phone and go to sleep! Love you sweet heart good night!"

"Good night, mom. I'll probably end up bragging about the phone tomorrow."

"Haha, well good night Percy." We both hung up the phone. And I fell asleep on my bed almost instantly.

The next day Chiron told me that he spoke with Zeus, and that I was allowed to go on the airplane without being killed by Zeus. Phew! I started my packing and I finished it in on Saturday. During school the whole week we just talked about where we'd go in Greece, and thanks to everyone in the whole entire grade we convinced the teachers to let us free roam around Greece twice a day for about two hours each. We're leaving on Monday and staying there for two in half weeks. Our plan for the trip is that we land in Greece on Tuesday morning, which is our Monday night, I think. The airport is in Athens and we're going to stay at a hotel there. Kinda weird, I mean I'm staying in Athens! My dad lost there. Oh well, at least the hotel is seaside; we'll get chances to swim and go boating or whatever. I couldn't wait! Just one more day! The flight was at 12 noon and we got a whole section of the plane. We were flying in 1st class because Rachel's father offered it, he said something about not wanting his daughter bringing any shame to the "Dare name" by flying commercial and, the school just said that she can't without the rest of he class with her so he just offered 1st class to our group! We all thanked the Dare's and got ready for our trip.

Hope you liked it! Please review! Sorry my story is really kinda crappy it'll get better in later chapters (i hope) please tell me what you think!
