Annabeth's POV
I woke up to the sound of a loud and annoying alarm clock, blaring a song I had found the previous week. It wasn't very subtle about waking someone up. I slammed my hand on it, rolling over to go back to sleep until I remembered something. I wasn't in San Francisco anymore. I pulled back the curtains of my hotel room to reveal the New York City skyline, with tall looming buildings and a clear view of the Empire State Building. It was reassuring, knowing I was close to camp and to…. Percy. Percy…. We had been through so much together, it was unbelievable. We brought back the Master bolt, Rescued Grover and the Golden Fleece, Held the sky, survived the labyrinth, stopped Kronos…. And much more that I rather would like to forget, even though in the mess that was the prophecy of seven, we had a few good times. I quickly got ready for school.
I AM A LINEBREAKER! IM SO COOOOOOOOOOL. MY NAME IS BOOSTAR! (If you get that, you're cool)
Today, I was starting at Goode High, the one school Percy has managed to get himself NOT kicked out of. After making it to Starbucks, buying a large mocha with a few shots and a bagel, and heading for school, I was officially excited to see the look on his face. Demigods never really get a chance to be this normal, for most of the time we're under attack by things like empousai and hellhounds. It gets annoying once it's not that much of a challenge. We train at camp half-blood, and I used to be a year rounder before the Giant war. Now it's just a summer camp to me. With my knife and my laptop weirdly found embedded in the hull of the Argo II, I was happy to know that everything seemed right. I arrived and went inside, tripping slightly on the top step of the massive school and ignoring whispers of people wondering who I was. I walked into the front office.
"Welcome to Goode! How may I help you?" said a somewhat-perky voice behind the office chair. A sign on this lady's desk told me it was Ms. Hawking. "I'm Annabeth Chase, a new student here. Can I have my schedule and locker number and code, please?" I said, tilting my head slightly. Ms. Hawking nodded and handed the papers. She then took the intercom and said, "Selene Beamount, Please report to the office to guide a new student." I waited until a girl with Long, Dark brown hair, Golden eyes, Milky skin and beautiful features walked into the office. She wore a black T-shirt with a flaming red rose on it, and torn-at-the-knees skinny jeans. She looked good. "Annabeth, this is Selene. She will be your student guide. Selene, you know what to do." Selene nodded and beckoned me out the door. I followed this notion and stepped out of the office.
"So, Annabeth, I'm Selene. Welcome to Goode. Like she said, I'm a student guide." She smiled, but she looked a little tense. "I'm Annabeth Chase. Can you show me to my locker? The number is 665." She suddenly looked surprised. "You're lucky, that locker is near mine and Percy Jackson's. He's the most popular guy here, though I don't know why. He's kind of retarded." She said. I rolled my eyes, but smiled. Percy being a Seaweed Brain? No doubt about that. Suddenly I had to ask an important question. "Is he dating anyone?" It sounded rushed. Selene smirked. "You haven't even met him! I talk well, don't I? He says he has a girlfriend in San Francisco, all his friends doubt it, and so do Sasha and Cecilia." She said Sasha and Cecilia like someone would say moldy pizza. "Sasha and Cecilia are the 'Popular' girls. Sasha is always making a move on Percy, and Cecilia is always tailing her." Selene said, and she said it rather annoyed. I nodded, acknowledging these names. People to be weary of. "Here we are." She said, beckoning to my locker in a rather dramatic way. I laughed, opened it after trying the combination once or twice, and put my books in the lockers. I turned around to find a boy carrying a bag of popcorn running around, chasing a girl who was laughing hysterically. The girl was blonde with blue eyes, and the boy was dirty blonde with hazel eyes, and they were laughing. Selene gave them a questioning look. "Seriously Jessi, Donn? What are you doing?" I assumed the blonde was Jessi, and the dirty blonde was Donn. Donn turned red and Jessi simply shrugged. Selene sighed and turned back to me. "This is Jessi, my best friend, and her boyfriend Donn. And they are ABSOLUTELY INSANE!" she said, turning to give them death glares. I laughed. "Anyways, the other absolutely crazy people you will meet today are Percy, Tanner, Megan or meg, Victoria, and Chelsea. With the occasional exception of Percy, they're mostly OK. Percy almost swam the world record during swim tryouts." Said Selene, stifling a laugh. Jessi looked like she realized something. She pulled Selene aside and began talking to her. Selene looked merely ruffled at the news that was apparently urgent to Jessi. Selene followed Jessi to the girls' bathroom. I grabbed my Yankees cap and put it on, following them invisibly. When we got to the girls bathroom, they began to talk rapidly in Greek.
"I think they may be demigods." Said Jessi.
