Her New Life

Chapter 1

Hey guys, this is my first PJO fic, so go easy on me. There will be a boatload of OCs, if you don't like it, don't read it. That simple.

This fic might have mild swear words, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum. I'm also trying out something new with my writing. If it doesn't work out, I'm just going back to my usual writing style.

This is about Nancy transferring to Goode and meets Percy, Annabeth, and a few more friends of them. Soon, she is whisked off into the world of Greek gods and monsters. She arrives at Camp Half-Blood.

Can you guess who's her father? He has a throne on Olympus. He's the father of a dead hero. It has something to do with her kleptomania. You guys now have 4 clues, try to figure it out. First person that gets the answer right gets to have an OC in here.

For all of you who have Microsoft Word, do you know that if you press shift and don't let go, then press on :and then followed by a ) or ( while still pressing shift, you can make a smiley face or a sad face? Like an actual round one?

Nancy Bobofit

Nancy stood in front of the entrance to Goode High. She wasn't starting in the middle of the year, so that was good. It was only the first week of school anyway. Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the large, double doors, to her school. She kept her head down, using her stringy red hair to cover her face.

"Oomph!" Nancy collided into a wall of muscle. As she lifted her head to snap at the person, her brown eyes met beautiful, sea green eyes. Nancy's heart skipped and beat and started to pound furiously in her chest. Her legs started to feel shaky and started to buckle. All this happened while she was still staring at those to beautiful irises.

"Um…?" The boy Nancy bumped into trailed off. She snapped out of her daze.

"W-W-Watch where y-you're g-g-going," Nancy sputtered. The boy raised an eyebrow in question and an amused smile spread across those lips that Nancy wanted so bad to kiss. The boy had messy (messy in a cute way), raven colored hair and a lean/muscular build. He had tan skin that looked like he spent a lot of time in the sun. He towered over her 5'7 at around 6'0, give or take a few inches.

"You were the one with her head down, weren't you?" He asked in a teasing voice.

"W-Whatever. What your n-name?" She retorted, stuttering here and there.

"I don't think I need to tell you anything." Nancy was shocked. No one had ever defied her so calmly. She was always in control. What's different this time?

"Whose the girl Kelp Head?" a female voice called from behind.

"No clue Ocean Eyes," the boy replied.

Nancy finally noticed his friends that were behind him. There were two boys, the shorter one looked Goth or emo. Nancy made a note to make fun of him when the green-eyed boy isn't around. There were also two girls one of the girls was the only blonde in the whole group.

The girl that spoke up had slightly wavy, chest length, black hair with side bangs and ocean blue eyes. Her hair was held back with a blue headband that had a bejeweled seashell. Nancy's kleptomania side made a mental note to steal it later. She was a few inches shorter than the sea green eyed boy and had lightly tanned skin. To sum it up, she was beautiful.

The other girl had blond hair with princess curls that went a few inches shorter than quarter back. Her hair was up in a ponytail. On her ears were owl earrings that Nancy really wanted. She looked like your stereotypical California girl with naturally tan skin, but her striking gray eyes gave her away. They were staring at her in a calculating way. She was slightly taller than the black haired girl, but still shorter than the green-eyed boy. This girl was by far, one of the most gorgeous girls Nancy has ever seen.

The emo kid was the shortest one, a few inches shorter than the black haired girl. He had shaggy and messy dark brown hair that could be mistaken for black and dark brown eyes. His pale, olive skin differed greatly from his friends and contrasted with his hair and eyes.

The last boy had slightly messy, brown hair that's spiked up at the front a bit and brown eyes. Black glasses that made him look even better framed his eyes. He also had tan skin like the black haired girl and a lean/muscular build. He was about the same height as Kelp Head. He had his left ear pierced. He was way cute, but Nancy liked whom the girl called Kelp Head better.

"What's your name?" The emo boy asked.

"I don't have to tell you anything," she sneered. The boy glared at her.

"You don't want to mess with me. I suggest you rethink what you just said," the boy said in a deathly scary voice. Nancy flinched back a bit and gulped.

"N-Nancy. Nancy Bobofit."

"Wait! What!" Kelp Head shouted, attracting a lot of attention from the other students.

"Staring is rude, didn't your mom ever teach you that?" Ocean Eyes shouted. The students went back to whatever they were previously doing.

"Nancy? Why didn't I recognize you sooner? Seriously, your freckles are a dead giveaway!"

"Um, do I know you?" Nancy asked. She secretly hoped he said yes, and say all those cliché things like they were childhood friends or something.

"Percy Jackson." Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. This was Percy? He was actually hot! Damn, those past 5 years did him good! He used to be wimpy and-and, not hot! Boarding school wimp turned high school hottie! While Nancy was lost in her thoughts, the blonde walked up to Percy.

"Seaweed Brain, you know her?" The blonde asked.

"Unfortunately, I do, Wise Girl," Percy sighed. Wait. Kelp Head and now Seaweed Brain? Ocean Eyes? Wise Girl? What's with the nicknames?

"Unfortunately?" Wise girl asked with a raised eyebrow.

"She was my 6th grade bully. She kept bulling me and Grover, making fun of him," Percy explained. Five pairs of eyes turned to glare at Nancy, she wanted to flinch back. She didn't notice that's actually what she did.

The emo boy was opening his mouth to shout something at Nancy, but was interrupted by the bell. Nancy rushed to homeroom before anyone of them could say anything. She scurried to a seat at the back of the class, tripping a few times and having people laugh. Nancy kept her head down and didn't notice Percy and his group of friends coming in, followed by the teacher.

"Quiet!" The teacher snapped. The class instantly became quiet and she nodded in satisfaction. She looked like she was in her mid fifties with graying blonde hair and tired, yet intimidating, brown eyes. She was somewhat, short in stature, but her frightening aura made up for her height. "Today, we have a new student, Nancy Bobofit. Nancy, my name is Ms. Dice or Ms. D." Thirty pairs of eyes turned to stare at her, five of them were glaring at her. "Kara, why don't you show Nancy around for the day?" Ms. Dice asked the girl sitting next to her.

She had chest length, straight blonde hair with straight bangs and blue eyes. Part of her hair was covered by purple beanie. Her skin was tan, but Nancy couldn't tell if it was fake or real. Kara just nodded.

The next few periods were a blur to Nancy. She didn't see anymore of Percy or his friends. Soon, it was lunch. She grabbed something that looked like meatloaf and a bottle of water and tried to find Kara.

"Nancy!" Kara called, beckoning her.

"Yeah," she replied.

"I usually sit by myself at the back, but now that you're here, I won't be alone!" Kara chirped.

"The back? Why not sit at the center table? It's empty," Nancy replied strolling over to the deserted table in the middle.

"Nancy! No! We can't sit there. That's for the popular kids!" Kara hissed with worry. Nancy didn't listen and dragged Kara to sit down next to her. They were receiving bewildered glances from everyone and Kara look worried.

"Stop worrying!" Nancy snapped.

"Um, you're sitting at our seats," a voice called from behind. Nancy turned around to retort and Kara stiffened. She turned around to see Percy and his friends. Speaking of her friends, she still doesn't know their names.

"P-Percy? You're-You're popular?" Nancy asked in disbelief. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was opening and closing like a fishes. He chuckled.

"Yeah. Now can you get out of my seat?" He asked. Not waiting for an answer, he slung her over his shoulder and walked to an empty table at the back. The canteen erupted into laughter at the sight.

"Percy! Let. Me. Down!" Nancy screeched. She ignored the pounding of her heart at the contact. He just chuckled and shook his head. He plopped her on an empty chair and the blonde tried to stifle her giggles as she placed Nancy's tray on the empty table at the back.

"Thanks Annabeth," Percy said, intertwining their fingers and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Nancy felt a little squeeze of her heart and jealousy showed in her eyes. She heard some girls aw as the two made their way to their seats. Kara started to get up when Percy shook her head telling her she could stay.

Nancy was so involved in watching Percy and his friends; she didn't notice a girl approach from behind.

"Um, excuse me?" A shy and quiet voice asked.

"What?" Nancy snapped at the speaker. She shied away. The girl had curly, brown hair that was in a ponytail and brown eyes. Her skin was pale and she was short, maybe a head shorter than Nancy.

"I'm-I'm s-s-sorry. There i-isn't any m-m-more s-seats left-" Nancy didn't let her finish.

"Whatever. Sit if you want, I don't care."

"Th-Thanks. I'm M-Madeline," the girl said.

"Nancy." They ate in awkward silence, but Nancy didn't mind. She kept sneaking glances at Percy. She doesn't care if she hated him back at Yancy; she want to make him mine. Nancy hates Annabeth. She was perfect and gorgeous, and Percy loved her. Nancy watched as Percy said something, causing the group to erupt in laughter. Nearby tables heard and joined in with laughter. A few other people scooted their chairs to the table to join in on the conversation. The whole time, Percy had his arm wrapped securely around Annabeth's shoulder in a firm, yet gentle hold. Her head was lying on his shoulder and they would steal kisses from each other.

Nancy felt horrible. She wanted to throw up. Every loving glance, every little kiss, sent Nancy over the edge. That should be her! Not Annabeth! Her name alone left a horrid taste in her mouth. Nancy didn't see Madeline staring at her with sympathy and understanding.

"You like him, don't you?" Madeline asked. Nancy was startled out of her thoughts and almost fell out of her chair.

"N-No!" Nancy tried to cover up.

"Whatever. I know you like him," Madeline persisted. "Admit it."

"No! I don't like Prissy!" Nancy hissed. Her eyes narrowed into a glare. Madeline cringed back a bit, but stood her ground.

"Fine, don't admit it then. It'll just be a burden," Madeline retorted. All her shyness seems to have disappeared.

"Whatever. So, tell me. How is he so popular?"

"You said you don't care about him," Madeline asked with a quizzical look.

"I said I don't like him. I never said I didn't want to know him." Madeline nodded in understanding.

"His full name is Perseus Jackson. He lives with his mom Sally Jackson and his step dad Paul Blofis; no one really knows what happened to his real dad except for his friends. He's a junior and an average student. He's also our swim team captain. Since he's arrived, we haven't lost a single swim competition," Madeline informed.

"Who are his friends anyway?"

"Well, there's his girlfriend Annabeth Chase." Nancy's hands curled into fists and she clenched her jaw. Madeline eyed Nancy's reaction, after a moment, she continued. "They met when they were 12 and have been dating for a year or so. She's a straight A student despite having dyslexia and ADHD and loves architecture." Nancy blinked.

"Doesn't Percy have dyslexia and ADHD too?" Madeline nodded.

"It's strange. All of his close friends have dyslexia and ADHD. They also all have either a step mom or step dad."

"Weird."

Yeah, anyways, Annabeth is the smartest out of all of them, but they all excel in Greek and Gym. Annabeth is currently a junior, like all her friends except for Nico, the shortest one. He's a sophomore. Anyways, her dad is Frederick, she has a step mom, but I don't know her name, and two younger, twin brothers. Matthew and Bobby. She's from San Francisco, but moved here for an unknown reason," Madeline paused for a breath and gulped down some water.

"Then, there's Percy's half sister, Camille Hayden. She's the girl with black hair and blue eyes. They have the same dad, but different moms. Her mom is Maria Hayden and her step dad is Oscar Ride. She's currently dating Jacob Anderson, that brunette boy with glasses. She's the badminton team's captain. She's also good at swimming like her brother, but left the swimming to him. She's originally from France, but that's all we know from her past. Her close friends-" Nancy interrupted Madeline.

"Probably know." She nodded.

"Then-" The bell interrupted her. "I got to go. I'll meet you by your locker after school. I already know where it is," with that, Madeline picked up her things, threw her trash away, and scurried to her next class, disappearing in the mob of students.

Nancy followed her new acquaintance's example and walked to her next class, not wanting to be late. On the way there, she bumped into Kara.

"Nancy! I was looking all over for you!" Kara shouted.

"Okay. What do you want after ditching me?" Nancy sneered. Kara flinched at her tone.

"Look, I'm sorry okay. I mean, The Percy Jackson asked me to sit with him. It's an offer you can't just turn down. This is Percy freaking Jackson we're talking about, hottest and most popular boy to walk the hallways of Goode. Sitting-heck, talking-with him ups your social status!" Kara ranted on, following Nancy to Greek. Apparently, she had it too. "Hey, are you taking Greek?" She stopped talking about Percy for a moment to ask.

"I never wanted to take Greek in the first place, but my mom made me and said it would help later on. Why would I need to know why Kronos ate his children or who killed Medusa?" Nancy grumbled on how useless Greek would be. If only she knew.

"Cool. So, since Percy has swim practice today, and I usually go, do you want to join me?"

"I don't know. I need to meet up with Madeline after school."

"Madeline? Madeline Walker?" Kara scowled.

"I don't know her last name, but yeah, what's wrong with her?" Nancy asked, truly curious. They had just arrived at Greek and sat at the back of the class.

"She's the biggest snitch in the school. She also has the latest gossip and rumor. Madeline is always snooping around, trying to get the juiciest news and spreads it around school. If you ask me, I wouldn't associate with her too much. Better if you don't associate with her at all," Kara explained. Nancy smirked. Madeline sounds like someone Nancy would want to work with.

The room was starting to buzz with more activity as more students trickled in. Nancy scanned the room and saw Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Camille, and Jacob sitting at the front of the room. The class turned quieter as the teacher came in. He had graying, brown hair and green eyes. He was an average height and looked to be in his late forties or early fifties. Nancy saw on her schedule, his name was Mr. Rio.

"Okay class, settle down. We have a new student today, Nancy Bobofit and I expect you to treat her with respect, blah, blah, blah," the teacher introduced. The students laughed a bit. "Now that the boring part's over, let's get to the lesson, shall we." Some of the class groaned, while other's cheered. "This week, we're going to learn the Greek language, doesn't that sound fun!" He asked in a happy voice.

"Is he always like this?" Nancy whispered to Kara.

"Yeah, especially when the lesson's fun. Some kids would kill to be in his class."

"Okay, does anyone here speak a little Greek or fluent Greek?" Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Camille, and Jacob's hands shot up. Nancy was surprised. Percy knew Greek? "Come on up and demonstrate, because, to be honest, I only know, like, ten words in Greek."

"With all do respect sir, how do you plan to teach the class Greek-" Percy started.

"If you don't know it?" Nico finished for him.

"That's easy. We'll be having a special guest teach us, you guys," he motioned to Percy and his friends, "Will demonstrate until he gets here." Without warning, they landed into a rapid-fire conversation; the rest of the class had bewildered looks on their faces, not understanding a single word. I was surprised because I managed to catch snatches of their conversation.

'Demigod, Camp Half-Blood, monster, and danger,' was all I could make out of their conversation. Demigod? Camp Half-Blood? Monster? Danger? What? The door had burst open, ripping me out of my thought. Standing there were two teens that looked exactly alike except one was taller than the other. They both had curly, brown hair that hung over their mischievous, blue eyes and sarcastic smiles on their faces. They were both tall and skinny.

"Sorry we're late," the taller one apologized. "Percy? Annabeth? Nico? Camille? Jacob? What are you guys doing here?" He knew them?

"Sup, Travis, Conner. We go to school here. The question is-" Percy greeted.

"What are you guys doing here?" Camille finished for him. Nancy turned to Kara.

"Do they always finish each other's sentence?" Kara nodded.

"We're teaching of course," the shorter one answered with a proud smirk. They did a double take.

"You guys teaching? Oh, that's rich," Nico, answered.

Jacob turned to Mr. Rio and raised an eyebrow. "You do know that you and the rest of the class is going to get robbed if you let them teach, right?" Robbed? What did he mean?

"Uh, I thought there was only one of you and what do you mean rob?" Mr. Rio asked the twins then Jacob.

"We're a package deal, sir. He's my twin, I'm his mother's sister's nephew," the shorter one answered. "I'm Travis Stoll by the way, the doofus next to me is Conner Stoll," he jabbed a dumb at his twin.

"Oh, no you don't" Annabeth cried. "He's Conner, the taller one is Travis. They're the best pick pockets and pranksters at camp." Everyone reached for their possessions to make sure they were still there. Travis gave a sigh.

"Unfortunately, we didn't take anything," the class let out a relieved sigh. Travis turned to them and smirked. "Yet." The class instantly stood alert again. Suddenly, the door slammed open again and everyone literally jump three feet into the air. Standing there was a girl with tan skin, green eyes that were narrowed into a glare, and chest length brown hair. She was a few inches shorter than Conner.

"Don't listen to them. They aren't teaching. We're new students except out flight got delayed and we were late," she explained to Mr. Rio who turned to glare at the Stoll brothers, but couldn't help, but keep the grin off his face.

"Well played Stolls, Well play," Mr. Rio said. They both gave a mock bow. "And your name is?"

"Katie. Katie Gardner." Some of the class snickered at her last name, but quickly stopped when Travis glared at them.

"Okay, take a seat you three. We're teaching Greek this week and our lovely volunt-" Mr. Rio got interrupted by the door … again. A middle age man with brown hair, intense brown eyes, and a scruffy beard walked, well, rolled in, considering he was in a wheel chair. Nancy thought he looked familiar and when she saw his fleece jacket, her suspicions were confirmed.

"Mr. Brunner?" She called out. Percy, his friends, the Stoll brothers, and that Gardner girl snickered. Mr. Rio shot them a look.

"Sorry, inside joke. Hi, Chi-," Annabeth hit Percy in the shoulder. "I mean Mr. Brunner." Another round of quiet snickers erupted from the group. Mr. Brunner nodded at them and scanned the room. His gaze lingered on Nancy for a second longer. Percy's little group caught his gaze and started whispering in Greek to each other. What's up with that?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'm stopping here because this is getting to long and I feel like I'm dragging this chapter on, and on, and on, and on, and- well, you get the point. Nancy will find out about Camp Half-Blood the next chapter of the chapter after that. This first chapter was horrible, but I needed to explain some things. Anyway. I hope you guys will stick around.

Can anyone guess Nancy's father? First person to get the answer right gets to have an OC that'll most likely be a main character!

Also, I need a better nickname for Camille. Ocean Eyes? Really? If someone will be oh, so kind to send a few nicknames in, thanks!
