Hey guys! So I just realized that I haven't updated in over a month! I'm so sorry…

Here is the new story that I was writing while writing Save the World. By the way, I've noticed that not a lot of people are reviewing… Does that mean that I should take the story off of my profile? Because if people aren't going to read it, what's the point, right? Anyway-

Enjoy!

Grabbing my books out of my locker, I stuffed them into my arms, and slammed my locker shut. Locking my lock, I walked over to locker 245 and leaned on it. Looking down, I saw my friend, Katie, struggling with her P.E. clothes and her math binder and book.

"Katie, we're going to be late for P.E." I said. Katie just sighed.

"Annabeth, it's the first day. They can't give us a tardy on the first day!" She said. I rolled my eyes. The bell rang, and all of the eighth graders started running up and down the halls, trying to get to their classes, while the seventh graders, like me and Katie, tried to calm ourselves with all of the craziness going on.

"You finally ready?" I asked Katie teasingly. She laughed. Standing up without getting knocked back down, she locked her arm around mine and we made our way down the hall.

LINE BREAK

Standing outside the locker room, Katie and I examined all of the girls, trying to find someone we knew. As far as I could see, Clarisse, Thalia, and Silena were all in first period P.E. Katie and I watched as Thalia and Silena looked around as we did.

"Thalia, Silena!" I said. They both sighed with relief as they saw us. Clarisse glared, but didn't say anything.

"Thank the Gods you guys are here." Thalia said. I smiled.

"LADIES! I NEED YOUR ATTENTION!" The first P.E. teacher yelled. I looked up at her, and I could tell I didn't like her immediately. Her black hair was down to her shoulders, and her bangs were pulled back with a bobby pin. Her jump suit matched; black with a hot pink stripe down the sides.

"This should be fun." Silena said. I laughed.

"My name is Mrs. Goodman." The teacher yelled. "Follow me into the locker rooms, and you will be assigned a locker." She said. All of the girls rammed each other into the doors, trying to be the first ones in.

Making our way towards the bathroom, Katie and I agree that for the first week or so, we'll be changing in there.

"Okay ladies. So here are the lockers. You all have your locks right?" We all nodded. "Great. Now fill out this card with its information and then form a line into my office. There, we will give you your locker number, so grab your friends if you all want to be together. Also, no one changes in the bathrooms." Mrs. Goodman said.

Huffing, Katie and I grabbed some plain white cards and put the lock number, our first and last names, and its combination on the card. Getting in the line, Thalia was behind me, then Clarisse. Katie stood with her other friends, not noticing we were already in line. When we handed Mrs. G our cards, she asked how many girls there were all together. Immediately, Clarisse replied.

"3 girls." Mrs. G nodded, and gave us our locker numbers. Walking over to our lockers, Thalia and I realized that we were right next to Clarisse. Seventh grade year just got a whole lot harder.

LINE BREAK

After the bell rang, Katie and I sprinted out of the door, avoiding the mob of girls anxious to get to their next class. Eventually, Thalia and Clarisse caught up with us. We walked over towards the picnic benches, then to the cafeteria. Splitting apart, Clarisse and Thalia went to their Mandarin class, Katie to Science with Mrs. Frocks, and I went to History. Coming into the room, I stood next to Silena and started talking to her.

"Students." The teacher said. He was tall, and had on big, heavy boots that made a thumping noise every time he walked. "I have assigned seats for you. When I call out your name, please sit in the correct seat. We'll see if you're all smart enough for that." He said.

Calling out random names of my classmates, he pointed to each seat. I sat down next to Silena, luckily, and then got my History binder out and ready for the day. Our teacher nodded then stood at the front whiteboard and wrote his name with black marker.

"My name is Mr. Spencers. I fell in love with History when I was about seven when I read about Columbus…" He continued on and on for the rest of the period talking about himself. Usually, I would pay attention, but I was too distracted.

"Perseus Jackson, I need to talk to you after class. Please meet me at my desk." Mr. Spencers said. I glanced over at Silena, who was smiling like a stalker at me.

"What?" I asked. She smiled wider.

"Oh nothing." She replied. I scoffed. When the bell rang, Perseus walked over to Mr. Spencer's desk. I stood at the door, waiting for him to finish. By the end of the conversation, Perseus was pretty heated. Leaving his desk, he walked over to me.

"What are you looking at Blondie?" He asked. I put my head down while he walked away from me. Carrying my things, I continued on to third period.

LINE BREAK

Making my way into the third period classroom, I smiled hugely. Katie, Silena, and Thalia were all in this class. And to make it better, Clarisse wasn't.

"Good morning class! Please take a seat anywhere, as these will be your seat for the rest of the year. So choose wisely!" Mrs. Miracle said. Of course, Katie, Silena, Thalia, and I all sat in a large square facing the front. Then we basically got the run-down of how everything was going to be, where everything was, etc.

During the lesson of the pencil sharpener, a boy crept in. He walked to the front of the room and handed Mrs. Miracle a blue piece of paper. She looked at me and beckoned me. The boy looked at me then scowled.

"It appears Ms. Chase, that you are Perseus Jackson's new tutor!" I looked at him.

"It's Percy." He replied. Running his fingers through his thick black hair, he rolled his eyes. "Look, can we just get this over with?" He asked.

Grabbing his books, I took him to the back table and sat him down. Over the next twenty minutes, I accessed his strengths and weaknesses. When the bell rang, he gathered his things quickly and ran out the door.

Okay, so that was a pretty long chapter, don't you think? Hopefully, I engaged you into read on! I will be updating ASAP… Thanks for reading! Constructive criticism and thoughts are welcome.
