Where were you?
Annabeth had finally been coaxed into going back to school, oh no. She wasn't giving up her search for a certain missing seaweed brain. Chiron had arranged hers and two other places. Seeing as Nico wasn't at camp, and Thalia was with the hunters:
"Hey Annabeth!" the chorus came from the Stoll brothers. They were inseparable and she knew that though at times they could be insensitive-they cared for Percy and the search as if he were a missing brother. At camp half-blood everyone was family. She also knew (being a wisegirl/daughter of Athena) that she needed to laugh and if anyone could do that while Percy was missing (for six months), it was Conner and Travis...
Today though, whispers came like wildfire talking about a mysterious new boy who was "OMG, he's, like, soooooo HOT!" Other things that travelled were the: numerous scars; the raven black messed up hair; the glint in his eye that said troublemaker and him letting all the popular girls down gently.
