Caiti's POV

Looking back on the day, Caiti thought she could have handled it better. Ignoring a cute boy who was trying to talk to you was pretty stupid. Well, let's start from the beginning.

"Caiti!" My mother, Lindsey, shouted up the stairs, "You're going to be late for school!"

Groaning, I sat up and got out of bed. Putting on my favourite Three Days Grace t-shirt and dark jeans, I pulled on my leather jacket and black knee high converse. I put my hair into my signature braid, grabbed my backpack and headed out the door. I rushed down the steps, whistling 'A Twist In My Story' the newest song I wrote.

Wait, I guess before I tell you my story I should tell you about myself. I'm Caiti Morgan. I have been living in New York since I was five. I have olive skin, wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes. I'm fourteen and in freshmen year at Trenidy High. People say I'm popular but I disagree. I not exactly what you call 'social'. Just to let you know I'm fun-sized, not short.

Finally, I made it to school. Walking into the courtyard, I spotted my friends sitting by the oak that everybody knows it ours. Let me describe my friends.

Leaning against the tree was Nikki Porter. Nikki has long, dark brown hair with dark blue eyes. She was wearing a white t-shirt with a lightning bolt and jeans. The two leaning over an art portfolio were Raquel Rabeck and Faye Armay. Raquel was tall with straight, dirty blonde hair and light blue eyes that changes shades in the sun. She was wearing a blue and white striped tank tank top with a dark blue blazer and denim shorts. Faye was a talkative girl. With messy black hair and dark brown eyes like mine, she often got over looked. She was wearing a black shirt with skeletons and black jeans, splattered with paint. Finally, there was Avery Armay. She was Faye's twin and was the kind of girl everyone noticed. She had short black hair and bright blue eyes. She was wearing a red tank top with a matching cardigan and capris.

All of us are different, but that's what makes us friends. We've known each other since we were in kindergarten.

"Hey guys," I said walking over. "How was your weekend?" They're heads snapped over to where I was before running over.

"Caiti!" They yelled, "We missed you!" Nikki and Raquel hugged me while Faye and Avery stayed back. I could they wanted to get to class but Nikki and Raquel didn't seem to be in any rush. Well, they don't care much about school as the twins do.

"Missed you guys too," I exclaimed. "Come on, we should get to class." The five of us headed into the school, sometimes one of us stopping to greet someone. Finally, we made it to homeroom. Sitting down we compared stories on what we did last weekend.

Nikki turned to me, a curious look on her face. "Have you written any new songs?" The four of them were the only ones who knew about my song writing, I didn't want people to know. It would attract too much attention.

"Yeah, I have," I said excitedly. "It's called 'A Twist in my Story'; I'll play it for you guys at lunch." They squealed, apparently loving the fact that I actually get excited about something.

We talked for the rest of homeroom, till we had to split up for first period. Nikki and I headed to academic Greek with Mr. Shaw. We walked into the class room and took the seat in the middle of the front row. The bell rang and Mr. Shaw walked in with two new boys.

I have to say they were cute. One looked like a Latino Santa's elf, with his curly black hair, dark brown eyes, pointy ears, a cheerful face, and a mischievous smile. He was wearing a red and white plaid shirt and jeans. The other boy caught my attention. He was tall and skinny with a mop of curly brown hair that was hanging in his blue eyes. He has upturned eyebrows, a sarcastic smile and a gleam in his eyes. He was wearing an orange shirt and jeans.

"Morning class, we have two new students, this is Leo Valdez," he said pointing to the Latino Elf. "And this is Connor Stoll, please make them feel welcome."

So that's what his name was. Connor sat down beside me and Leo sat down beside a blushing Nikki. "Hi, I'm Connor," he whispered. I glanced at him then turned away. He was insanely cute, but that just made it harder to talk to him. I never been social, I've always just ignored people. So I did just that. Connor sighed, turning away. "Fine, be that way," he huffed angrily, glaring at his desk. Wow, I thought, what a great way to start the week.


Camp Half-Blood, Long Island Sound

Sunday 9:06am


Connor's POV

Okay, today wasn't the best day. It started out as the usual. Wake up, eat breakfast, train. I was walking with Travis to the arena to spar when Annabeth ran up to us.

"Chiron wants to see us," Annabeth panted, resting her hands on her knees.

"Okay," Travis said confused.

I shrugged and headed to the Big House with Annabeth and Travis trailing behind. When I walked in I saw Piper and Jason were sitting together by Leo who was trying to light a ping pong ball on fire. Thalia and Nico were sitting beside each other arguing about whose father was stronger. Hazel and Frank, who were visiting from Camp Jupiter, were laughing at Percy dozing off by an empty chair with drool coming out of his mouth. Grover and Katie were discussing, what he was guessing, the earth.

Shaking my head, I sat down beside Leo. Travis sat down beside Katie, slinging his arm around her shoulders. Annabeth sat down beside Percy, groaning, and pushed him off the chair. Percy fell onto the floor and shot up looking around quickly. Annabeth groaned again and pulled him up onto the chair. Percy smiled at Annabeth and put his arms around her, pulling her onto his lap.

"Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

"I don't know," Percy said nuzzling her neck.

Chiron walked -or trotted- into the room. He gave them a weird look. I don't know why he did; they've been doing that since the end of the 2nd Giant War. The two have been inseparable.

"Well, let's get straight to the point." Chiron said enthusiastically, "You're going to school."

"WHAT!"


So I've been working on this for a while, so I hope you like it.

BTW there is going to be more Percabeth later on but I'm focusing on a 'romance' for Connor. He doesn't get enough attention.

So, Please review!
