Ok I know that this plot is completely over done but hey I got the inspiration for this at some point last night when my mind was wandering rather than sleeping. So anyway please let me know how you like it, this is mainly going to be a Percabeth and Thalico fic (I'm taking a little break from Thaluke and no I don't hate Luke, he's just a little bit OOC in this fic). I apologize if Thalia's a little OOC in the last little part but hey it'll will make sense a little bit later. Please don't flame me but do let me know if you like it, if you don't like it don't read it...anyway RawR and enjoy :D~RawR
PERCY:
So high school, it's never like the musical. I had to put up with all the annoying cheerleaders, the idiots on the football team, my enemy from the rival school Luke Castellan, my two best friends constantly arguing about things, and keeping my grades up so I could play football, basketball, swimming, and baseball.
I woke up when my alarm rang at six thirty and hopped into the shower quickly and then quickly threw my clothes on. The school I attended was Olympia Academy for the Gifted. So naturally I had to wear a uniform. Our uniforms were the typical khaki pants, white or blue dress shirt with the school logo, a silver, blue, and black tie, black shoes, and a blazer with the school logo which happened to be two centaurs bearing a bow and arrow.
I made sure that my hair was perfectly tousled and ran downstairs to where my mom and stepfather were enjoying and wonderful breakfast of blue scrambled eggs and blue pancakes. I scarfed them down quickly, said a rushed goodbye to my mom and ran out the door to go pick up Thalia for school and meet Nico there. A quick thing about Thalia and Nico, they're my best friends and they're constantly arguing about something. I blame the fact that they're completely in love with one another but too stubborn to admit it.
So I pulled up to Thalia's place and she walked out to the car, already out of dress code, her plaid skirt was wrinkled as was her baby blue dress shirt. She wore a pair of completely black Chuck hi-tops, and her eye liner made her eyes standout, her black hair was in perfect choppily layered disarray.
"Already out of dress code," I asked, "it's only the first day Thalia."
She laughed and I noticed that her blazer was slung over her galaxy print backpack, "Thanks for picking me up."
I chuckled, "No problem."
"This is only until my Jason's car gets fixed and I can have mine back." she shrugged, "I don't want to drive Jason everywhere anyway."
Once at school Nico was already waiting for us. Thalia opened her black umbrella since it was pouring rain and started to sprint up to the doors. Nico followed after her they were arguing all the way. Just as I was getting ready to start walking in a gray Chevy Malibu pulled up beside me. A girl with curly blonde hair, an athletic figure, a nice Californian tan, and startling gray eyes got out. She quickly opened a gray umbrella and hefted her backpack onto her shoulder. I haven't seen her around here before. I would only know that because Olympia Academy was one of the smallest schools ever.
I walked into the school office to pick up my schedule and sure enough there she was turning in her transcripts and what not. She was new. The secretary looked at me, "Mr. Jackson are you busy at the moment?"
I shook my head and the girl looked over at me, "No ma'am I'm not busy at the moment."
"Well then I'd like you to show Miss. Chase around for the day." she said.
I nodded and waited patiently for the new girl to finish what she was doing. She looked and me and followed me out of the office.
"I'm Percy Jackson." I stuck out my hand for a handshake.
"I'm Annabeth Chase." she accepted the handshake.
"Ok what's your first class?" I asked her.
She looked at her schedule, "Ummm it looks like I have homeroom with Mr. Brunner."
I nodded, "You're with me then. Do you have your locker assignment?"
She handed me the paper and I led her to her locker which was coincidentally right between Thalia and I's lockers. So when I got there Thalia and Nico were already arguing about something. I think it had something to do with bacon. So anyway I interrupted their argument.
"Guys this is Annabeth Chase, she's new here. Annabeth this is Nico diAngelo and Thalia Grace." I introduced them. There was a mumbled greeting from Thalia and Nico and an awkward smile from Annabeth.
"Are the other's here yet?" I asked.
Thalia shook her head, "No Jason had to go pick up Leo and Piper, Frank and Hazel's bus hasn't arrived, Reyna's not here yet, Rachel isn't back from vacation yet, and apparently we get to visit with Othrys Academy for the day. The school thinks that a meet and greet will eliminate some of the 'tensions' between us."
"We all know that Luke and Ethan are looking forward to killing you out on the field for beating them last year for the championship." Nico added.
Thalia rolled her eyes, "I really don't want to see Luke anyway, he's a scumbag."
Nico looked over at her and smirked, "You're the one who dated him over the summer."
Thalia glared at him, this was clearly not a subject she wanted to talk about, "Choose another topic or I'll say something about you."
Nico rolled his eyes, "So Annabeth where are you from?"
"I'm from San Francisco." she smiled.
"Ok, so you're used to city life then?" Thalia asked.
She nodded, "New York is way bigger though."
"So did you guys have a good summer?" I asked them.
Thalia shrugged, "Mine sucked."
"Same." Nico muttered.
"Well I got to go to Montauck and I invited both of you so don't start complaining that you guys didn't have anything to do." I rolled my eyes.
"So Annabeth do you know how to surf?" Thalia asked.
Annabeth laughed, "No I never really went to the beach."
Thalia nodded, "My brother's girlfriend Piper knows how to. She's from Cali, I just wondered if you knew."
Annabeth laughed, "Common misconception about Californians."
"You know what I think you and I are going to get along just fine." Thalia smiled which in turn caused Annabeth to smile.
Soon enough our friends started to show up and we got Annabeth acquainted with them making sure that she felt like she could have somewhere to fit in. We headed to our homerooms; Annabeth, Thalia, Nico, Leo, Piper, and I going to Mr. Brunner's and Frank, Hazel, Jason and Jason's going to Ms. Lupa's.
Mr. Brunner was greeting the student by the door. When I walked up he smiled at me, "What ho Percy! How was your summer?"
"It was good Mr. B, how was yours?" I asked.
"About the same." he then turned to Annabeth, "You must be Miss. Chase. Welcome to Olympia."
Annabeth smiled, "Thank you sir."
"Go on in and I'll be there in a few moments." he smiled, "Percy and his friends will help you out."
ANNABETH:
Ok maybe being the new girl wasn't going to be so bad here. I noticed however that the school was totally defined by cliques. I apparently was inducted straight into the clique that contained the school's most gifted prodigies.
Thalia was sitting on Nico's desk, Piper was sitting on Leo's while they talked about something. Percy walked over and gestured to the open seats where Thalia and Piper's things weren't sitting. I sorta felt like I already belonged in the group. They were actually really nice to me.
"So you know how I've been working on my completely amazing vintage T Bird?" Leo asked.
The group, including Percy, nodded, "Well anyway I was going to drive it to school this morning but I forgot to put gas in it."
Piper laughed, "How the hell did you forget to put gas in your car? Couldn't you have stopped at the gas station anyway?"
"I woke up too late this morning and I didn't have time to get gas." Leo said.
"So Annabeth tell us a little bit about yourself." Piper smiled.
"Oh um I like to read and I'm really into architecture. I know everything about any architectural structure and I can spout off useless information that nobody really cares about." I smiled.
Piper laughed, "You better keep her around Percy. You'll have someone to help you with your architecture class."
I looked at Percy, "You're taking architecture?"
"It's for my industrial arts requirement." Percy rolled his eyes, "It was either that or wood shop and I can't build anything to save my life."
"I can help you if you need it." I shrugged.
Percy smiled, "I'll keep that in mind then."
Mr. Bunner finally wheeled his motorized wheelchair in and greeted the class, "Miss. Grace, Miss. McLean please find a desk."
Piper and Thalia took their seats and started anxiously whispering about something which I instantly got dragged into. They had decided to plan some form of sleepover and shopping trip and they said that I was invited to come along.
"Today, Miss. Grace, Miss. McLean, am I going to have to write you referrals on the first day?" he asked.
"No sir." Piper and Thalia said in unison.
"As I was saying, since we only have two half days this week, the school has decided to do something a little special. We're allowing the students from Othrys Academy to come over for a little meet and greet for the next two days..." there was a collective class groan, "students we expect you to be extremely respectful even if you don't necessarily get along." Mr. Brunner finished his little morning chat with the students and then we sat there while we waited for the Othrys students who were assigned to this call to arrive.
Finally a group of students who seemed like no good walked in. At the front of the pack were two guys and a girl. The first guy was your stereotypical Californian surfer, except of the long jagged scar down the side of his face. The second guy wasn't as tall or muscular as the first guy and he was Asian, he also obtained an eyepatch over one eye. The girl was short and petite with curly brown hair and darkish skin.
The class booed, apparently there was some form of conflict between this particular group. The blonde walked over to us and his friends went to the back of the classroom. Mr. Brunner watched the blonde guy skeptically.
"Miss me?" he smirked when he was close enough to talk quietly.
"What do you want loser?" Thalia rolled her eyes.
"Is it a crime to come see my old friends?" he asked faking hurt.
"Yes it is because none of us want to see you." Nico piped in.
He looked over at me, "You must be new, I'm Luke Castellan, captain of the varsity football team over at Othrys and quarterback. Anyway don't listen to anything they say about me."
I rolled my eyes, "You're not getting my number if that's what you want."
He looked defeated for a moment and Thalia looked pretty pissed off. It was obvious that they had some kind of history together.
"Leave her alone Luke, don't you have a pit of damnation to fall into?" Thalia asked with an obvious roll of her eyes.
Luke turned and looked at her before smirking and whispering something in her ear. She rolled her eyes but she didn't object to whatever he had been suggesting. He walked out of the classroom and Thalia followed moments later using the bathroom excuse.
Nico looked a little hot under the collar, "Why does she do this to herself?"
Percy shrugged, "Because we accept the love we feel we deserve."
"You watch way too many Logan Lerman movies." Nico rolled his eyes.
"Hey it's not my fault that I find his acting talent irresistible." Percy smirked.
"You only like him because you think he looks like you." Piper rolled her eyes.
"But we do look alike." Percy shrugged.
Nico muttered something about Luke that I don't exactly want to repeat because it involved him doing something horrible to him if Thalia ended up hurt. I don't think anyone was supposed to hear that because it was obvious that they liked each other, they being Thalia and Nico. I've just always been really good at reading people, it's always been a talent of mine. I notice things that most people don't notice about others.
NICO:
Did I like the fact that Luke had lured Thalia away again? No because he was only going to break her heart again. He was a jerk and I didn't understand why she constantly allowed him to hang around her. All he wanted her for was sex which she wasn't giving out so he goes and cheats on her.
"So what's the beef with you guys and Luke?" Annabeth asked as we went to our AP Calculus class.
I looked over at her, "Oh he transferred our freshman year over to Othrys because he didn't get quarterback and he and Thalia are in a rocky relationship, him being the rocky part of the relationship."
She nodded, "You like Thalia don't you?"
I knew I was blushing the slightest bit but I denied it, "No Thalia and I can't stand each other."
Annabeth smiled but I knew she didn't believe me, "Oh ok."
I decided to change the subject before I gave too much away, "So how are you liking the school?"
She shrugged, "I like it."
"Good, it's a great school it's just some of the students here can get really irritating."
Annabeth nodded, "Isn't that the case at all schools?"
I smiled, "You could say that."
AP calc was my last class for the half day since we were on block scheduling and my phone buzzed. It was a text from Thalia, can you take me home?
Where are you? I texted her back.
the bathroom on the second floor. I'll meet you by the back doors. replied.
I looked over at Annabeth who was in deep conversation with Malcolm and decided to go see what Thalia needed. I met her out by the back doors and I'll admit she looked like a mess. Her make up was smudged and her shirt was even more wrinkled than it had been this morning.
"Thals what's wrong?" I asked as I approached her.
"Nothing I just don't feel good, can you take me back to my place?" she asked I could tell that she was still crying.
"I haven't seen you since homeroom, where have you been?" I asked her.
"Not right now, I just want to go home." she said.
I nodded and dropped her off at her place and then went back to my place knowing that my parents weren't home yet. I was going to figure out what was wrong with Thalia and I swear that if Luke had anything to do with it I'll kill him.
