Okay, hey there fellow earthling demigods! Sorry, I'm weird… actually I'm not sorry ;)

This is my first ever Percy Jackson story so, uh, sorry if its a bit OOC. Basically, it's Percy/Annabeth (of course!), Thalia/Nico, Grover/Juniper and there's slight Silena/Beckendorf, but that's not one of the major pairings :)

I hope you enjoy it, sorry if the first chapter isn't very long.

Chapter One- New School

Percy POV

"Percy!" My mum, Sally Jackson's, voice drifts up the stairs. "Percy, you've got to get up!" I can hear her footsteps pounding up the stairs of our small house. My door creaks open.

Uh-oh.

"Perseus Jackson, I order you to get up this instant!" I turn over in my bed and squint at her through the sunlight pouring in through my windows. I forgot to shut the blinds, again. Damn.

I sit up and groggily rub the sleep from my eyes. My Mum stands in the doorway, glaring at me.

"Alright," I say, raising my hands in surrender. "I'm up!"

Her stare softens and she smiles lightly before turning and waltzing out of the room.

I get out of my bed, stretching, and walk over to my closet. I pull out a dark green t-shirt and black jeans, slipping on my black and green Nike-Airs, before making my way downstairs.

My mum is standing in front of the sink and a pile of freshly made pancakes sit on a plate.

I take a seat and devour them quickly. "Thanks," I mutter, between licking my fingers.

She turns around, smiling, before coming over and kissing my forehead. "Now c'mon! Finish getting ready for school!"

I groan theatrically before scraping my chair across the floor and stomping grumpily up the stairs.

I guess I should explain my life a bit.

I suffer from ADHD and Dyslexia, thanks to me being a demigod, which makes school difficult. I've been to a new school every year, never able to prevent myself from getting expelled. Today was my first day at Demigod Academy. Yay, another chance to humiliate myself and get expelled!

Demigod Academy is a half-blood boarding school, and, because my mum isn't a half-blood, I'm going to be unable to see her, as usual.

My mum was offered an amazing deal by Harper Collins Publishers. They had only one condition: that we move to a different part of America so that we can deal with them more closely. I was happy for her and it was a fresh start for both of us. Back home, I was labelled as a freak, and even sitting next to me at lunch was social suicide.

Today was the day that the train was leaving so I only had a couple of hours to spend with my mum before I left for another year of humiliation.

I stepped with apprehension onto the sleek black train. Looking down at my ticket, I saw that I was in seat 34. I looked around for a few minutes before finally spotting it.

Walking over, I saw that I was in a six-seater booth. The other five people were already sitting down, chatting and laughing comfortably.

There was a blonde girl with grey eyes, sitting next to a black-haired punk girl, on one side of a table. On the other, there was a blonde boy with a scar on his face, another boy with curly black hair wearing a raster cap and a black-haired boy dressed in dark colours. These kids looked cool.

I was going to get picked on before we even arrived.

I nervously took a seat next to the blonde girl. Her storm-grey eyes turned their intense stare on me. I was suddenly very conscious of the fact that my unruly black hair was sticking up all over the place while most of these kids looked like models. Except for maybe the curly-haired kid in the Raster cap, his face was covered with acne and he had the start of a whispy beard.

"Who are you?" The blonde girl asked bluntly.

"Annabeth," the boy with the scar scolded and 'Annabeth's' ears turned slightly pink.

"Uh… I'm Percy," I managed to get out.

"Hey Percy, welcome to Demigod Academy" the boy with the scar said, grinning. "I'm Luke and this is Grover, Nico, Thalia and Annabeth," he pointed at them as he said their names. "Welcome to the group!"

I smiled at him.

Maybe this year wouldn't be so bad after all…

As we walked into Demigod Academy, I couldn't stop staring. It was a massive, cream-coloured stone building with grounds that went on for miles. There were two large gatehouses, and the actual building looked like a fairy tale castle with its four towers.

We walked through the large doorway and my shock increased.

Inside, huge tapestries hung from the walls. There was a white marble floor and a domed ceiling with pictures and carvings of Greek Gods. I could see my dad, Poseidon, standing on the crest of a large wave, trident in hand.

Upon closer inspection, you could clearly tell who everyone was. Luke had the meschievious look of Hermes about him, Thalia's electric blue eyes betrayed her as a Daughter of Zeus, Nico was evidently Son of Hades, and Annabeth's grey eyes made it obvious that she was a Daughter of Athena. That left only Grover, who was evidently a Satyr. I could tell from his limp, and he obviously wore his cap to conceal his horns.

We walked up to the large oak desk. A plump receptionist, her face caked in make-up, sat behind it. She was handing everyone their schedules, an impassive look on her face.

I took my schedule and all of the other necessary information from her and walked back to the group.

"What dorms are you guys in?" I asked.

Luke looked down at his schedule. "29," he replied.

"Same!" Nico exclaimed. He saw Thalia staring at him incredulously. "Not that it matters that much," he added in a lower voice and Thalia nodded in approval.

"I'm in 28," Grover said.

"I'm in 29," I said, feeling sorry for Grover.

"Don't worry man!" Luke yelled loudly. "You're on the other side of the corridor from us!" Then he added, in a ridiculously high-pitched voice, "SLUMBER PARTY TIME!"

Everyone burst out laughing. And by everyone, I don't mean the whole group, I mean every single person in the room. Luke really knows how to yell!

Annabeth and Thalia had already left for their dorms, claiming that they were tired. It was 8:30, so curfew was in an hour.

The boys and I walked over to our dorm and I fell asleep to the neighing of the Satyrs across the hallway.

Annabeth POV

Thalia and I had gone to our room with the intention of sleep, but when we met our new roommate Silena Beauregard it was evident that this was not going to happen.

She kept us up all night, chattering aimlessly. I managed to ignore her until she said, "So what d'ya think of the new kid?"

Silena and Thalia were staring at me intently and I felt my face growing hot. "Which new kid?"

"Percy Jackson," Silena exclaimed, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I think that he is like, sooooo hot. I mean have you seen him? His eyes are so dreamy! And his hair is just so… amazing!"

"Uh," I stammered. "I guess so?"

"Oh my gods!" Thalia exclaimed. "You so like him!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!

"Do too!"

"No I don't!"

"Fine then," Thalia said, smiling smugly. "Swear on the River Styx that you don't like him!"

"I, um, I swear on the-" I swallowed thickly. I couldn't do it. It turned my back, facing the wall. "Y'know what? I don't need to prove anything to you."

Thalia started cackling from behind me but I ignored her, trying to sleep.

"Do you think he would, like, go out with me?" Silena's nauseating voice drifted over to me, and I suddenly felt an inexplicable resentment to the Daughter of Aphrodite.
