Alright so I typed this up last night but when I finished it was way past midnight and the wrestling tournament tired me out so I didn't post it until this morning! Anyway just going to warn you this chapter kind of jumps to each person to get their POV. I noticed that I didn't write much in Cody's POV but I will later I promise you :)

I also decided for this story I would try what some authors do and 'respond' to reviews on the last posted chapter. Since this story is new I only got two reviews but I will respond to them! In reviews you can ask me questions or requests songs too. I'm always willing to hear new music!

Micky-D12: Hopefully you saw my PM I sent you. As for everyone else! I didn't mean to make Emily and Percy share physical features! I went back and changed it so now its fixed. I have a good idea for the future though so keep reading!

people like us: I'm sorry if the OC's were a little confusing I just wanted to have my own characters for this story! I listened to the song 'Angel with a shotgun' and I honestly fell in love I can see why you love it so much! I can see if I can put it in the story!

Alright thanks you too for reviewing! Now other readers please review!

Annabeth:

"Annabeth time for school!"

I groaned and rolled out of bed. My feet landed on the plush carpet with a small plop! I walked over to my dresser to grab some clothes. Over the past three days my Aunt and I have been unpacking like crazy. I finally finished unpacking all my clothes yesterday so my room is pretty clean.

I grabbed some simple dark blue jeans and slipped them on. I threw on a simple light blue tank top and a grey zip up jacket. I brushed my hair and examined myself in the mirror. I shrugged and grabbed a light blue beanie for my head. I put it on and smiled at my reflection. I'm trying to start every day with a smile. It's hard but it helps sometimes.

I brushed my teeth quickly and grabbed my backpack and slid the strap over one of my shoulders. I walked downstairs to find no one in sight. I walked to the refrigerator to grab some milk and noticed a note.

Annabeth,

Went to tour my new office building. I'll be back in time to pick you up from school! Please try to enjoy your first day.

Aunt Susie

I sighed and set the note on the counter. I made myself a bowl of cereal and ate it slowly. I only finished half of it before I realized I wasn't all that hungry. I threw the now mushy cereal in the sink and walked over to the door. I slipped on my old, faded, green converse and grabbed my old skateboard. I haven't skated in a while but you never forget!

I walked out the door and breathed in the crisp morning air. I closed my eyes and mentally prepared myself for the first day of school. When I opened my eyes I scanned the area and walked down the driveway. I stopped on the sidewalk and set my skateboard down. From the corner of my eye I noticed the house next door. My mind flashed back to my conversation with Percy a couple days ago.

I haven't seen him since then but I think about him. He's an…interesting person for sure. Normally people become bored and leave when I don't respond, but not him. He just kept talking and talking hoping to get a word out of me. And he smiled a lot. It was kinda nice. He and I aren't friends but maybe someday we can be.

I got on my skateboard and started to skate to school. After about a minute I developed a good speed. I hummed quietly while I skated and tried to remember the way to school. Aunt Susie showed me yesterday; the school wasn't too far from our house.

Much to my relief I found the school and got there on time. I checked my phone and saw class started in about ten minutes. I kicked one edge of my skateboard, causing it to jerk upward so I could grab it. I held it as I walked to the office. I shyly walked up to the secretary at the desk. She looked up and smiled warmly at me.

"Hello! What can I do for you?"

"…Um I'm new and I…need my schedule."

"Oh of course! What's your name?"

"Annabeth Chase."

I awkwardly stood there as she typed and clicked away on her computer. She smiled at me as my schedule was being printed. When it was finished she wished me luck and set me in the direction of my locker. I looked over my schedule and saw my first class was Science. I checked my elective and saw I had music. I smiled and walked over to locker 38. I looked at the piece of paper and put in my combination. My locker opened and I set my skateboard inside. I shut my locker door and tried to find my first class.

Students crowded the hallway talking with friends and laughing. I quietly walked by as many as I could. I looked around at all the doors trying to find Mr. Spring's class. I mentally groaned when I couldn't find it. I kept looking at my schedule and the doors trying to find where I needed to go. I didn't notice the green eyed boy excitedly running towards me until I bumped into him. I gasped in shock and shrunk back a little. His smile faded a little and he took a step back to give me some space. I looked up at him and gave him a small smile in thanks. I tried to move around him to continue my search. His voice stopped me before I could even take a step.

"So since your new…you might not know where everything is….I could… you know give you a tour?"

I weighed my choices. I could either wander around this huge school trying to find my way or let the overly excited boy in front of me show me around. I shrugged and figured it would be better if he showed me the school. Besides I don't want to be late for class; that would draw unnecessary attention to me. Attention I didn't need. I nodded at Percy and followed him as he led me to a less crowded hallway.

"Alright Annabeth can I see your schedule? I'll take you to your first class and then show you around the school."

I silently handed him my schedule and studied his green eyes as they darted across the paper. He grinned and handed it back to me.

"Well it looks like we have a couple classes together, including first! Here c'mon I'll show you to Mr. Spring's science class."

I followed closely behind Percy and tried to memorize the route we were taking and little signs to remember where the classroom was. Eventually we arrived at a door and Percy held it open for me. I walked inside and scanned the room. It was basically full of students talking and throwing things. The man in the front of the room was staring at the clock above the door; I'm assuming he's Mr. Spring. Percy walked past me and up to the man.

"Hey Mr. Spring!"

"Why Percy Jackson back again I see?"

Percy grinned and shrugged.

"What can I say? I love your class! Anyway listen. This lovely young lady-"

He grabbed me and pulled me to his side and pointed at me.

"Is new around here and I was wondering if I could spend ten minutes or so showing her around the school."

"Sure Percy. Just don't take too long."

"Of course I won't! Thanks Mr. S!"

Percy grabbed my hand and led me out of the room. When the door shut behind us I gently took my hand out of Percy's. He frowned but quickly hid it.

"So um….Let me show you around."

Wordlessly I followed Percy as he led me to each of my classes. He also showed me where the library was and the lunchroom. He was even kind enough to tell me which bathrooms would be safe to go into. I'm surprised how dirty some of the schools bathrooms were.

Soon after I realized that we were heading back to Mr. Spring's room. I frowned; I still hadn't seen the music room! Before I could stop myself I blurted out,

"Can you show me the music room?"

My eyes widen. Percy smiled widely and nodded his head.

"So you like music?"

I desperately wanted to say yes and explain how its almost all I can think about but I settled for shrugging.

He led me down a narrow hallway and stopped at the very end of the hall. I could see little, paper music notes on the door and wall.

"I know Mrs. Elms doesn't have a class right now so you want to go inside?"

I opened the door and walked inside. Percy followed me and called out.

"Hello? Mrs. Elms you here?"

No response. I looked around the room. Flutes and clarinets were in the corner on a shelf and I could see a couple violins. I noticed a fairly new guitar in the far corner of the room. I smiled when I saw the grand piano in the middle of the room. I walked over to it and gently ran my hands over the keys. Percy coughed slightly to get my attention.

"Hey we should get back to Science ok?"

I nodded and followed him out of the classroom. I couldn't stop thinking about the strong urge I had to go and play that piano.

Percy:

My alarm clock went off and I groaned. I hate waking up early. I quickly got dressed and ate. Mom and Paul were off at work so I had the house to myself. I grabbed my car keys and headed out the door.

When I walked outside I saw a flash of blonde hair. I looked to my right and saw Annabeth skateboarding in the direction of the school. Can this girl get any more interesting? I ran to my car and started it. I pulled out and went onto the road. While driving to school I passed Annabeth. She looked so cute in her blue beanie. I didn't notice that I was slowing down until the car behind me honked. I jumped startled but started moving the car faster.

When I got to school I smiled at a couple of the kids already walking the hallways of Goode. I placed some binders and notebooks in my locker and checked my schedule. I started to walk to my first period when I saw Annabeth. She looked both irritated and confused. I practically ran over to her.

She seemed surprised to see me. I guess I scared her because her eyes widened and she backed up a little. I took a step back to show I respected her space and smiled. I offered to show her around and after thinking about it she accepted.

I checked her classes and saw we had a couple together including first. I brought her with me to the class and asked Mr. Spring if I could show her around. Being the awesome teacher he is, he allowed it. I grinned and grabbed Annabeth's hand. When we got outside the classroom she gently took her hand out of my grasp. I frowned at the loss of contact but hid it.

I showed her all her classes and the library and lunchroom. I even showed her all the good bathrooms! When I started to head back to the classroom she finally spoke.

"Can you show me the music room please?"

I agreed quickly and showed her the way. I haven't talked to her since the day she moved in and before today she only said a few words to me.

Annabeth seemed to be in a trance when we walked into the music room. She scanned over all the instruments until her eyes landed on the piano. She ran her fingers over the keys. I saw her smile and my heart skipped a beat. She smiled at me a little when we met but this smile; it was a genuine smile because she was happy. I didn't want to interrupt her little moment but I figured Mr. S would want us back by now.

Silently I led her back to the class. Not because I didn't want to talk, because I did. I wanted to know everything about Annabeth. I don't know why but she seems interesting, as we walked back to class though I couldn't think of anything to say.

Unfortunately I couldn't sit next to her in class since there is assigned seats. I sat in the back by myself so it wasn't too bad. Annabeth sat in the far left corner next to a girl. The desks are in pairs in rows so I had to crane my neck a little to see who she was sitting next to. I smiled in relief when I saw it was Emily McNeil. I don't know much about the girl but I do know she is pretty nice.

After realizing Annabeth was ok for now I faced the front and listened to Mr. Spring read off the rules of the class.

Emily:

Cody parked in the schools parking lot and slowly turned off the car. We both walked into the school and sighed. Like any normal teenager high school didn't please us. I was going to ask Cody to walk with me to my first class but when I turned I saw he was already being dragged away by his football buddies, who were already talking about upcoming practices. I sighed and walked to class myself. When I arrived at Mr. Spring's class he greeted me and showed me where I sit.

Soon other kids started to pile into the classroom and began talking. Eventually talking developed into yelling and yelling developed into yelling and throwing things around. I cursed under my breath. Most of the kids in this room were older than 16 and yet there acting like four year olds. When Tanner Eaton fell flat on his face I mumbled under my breath 'idiot' and pulled out my sketch book.

I flipped open to my latest drawing. It was a close up on Cody's piercing blue eyes. It wasn't quite finished though. I pulled out a pencil and different shades of blue color pencils. I had to blend different blues to get his exact eye color, that's how amazing it is.

I was so engrossed with my drawing that I didn't notice that weird Percy kid or the new girl walk in. I did notice however when they came back fifteen minutes later and the new girl sat next to me.

I noticed Percy's nervous glances at her and smiled. Well somebody is worried about the new girl.

When I asked her what her name was she quietly said her name was Annabeth. I introduced myself and smiled sweetly at her. She smiled back somewhat shyly and didn't say anything for the rest of the period. I zoned in and out as the teacher went on about classroom rules. Really they are all the same every year. Do your work, be prepared and don't stab people with pencils.

When class ended I saw Annabeth sprint for the door leaving poor Percy behind. I don't know Percy very well but I do know that he is a little on the weird side, but I guess everyone is at some point. So I shouldn't try to hold it against him.

I didn't know what to think about Annabeth. She was really pretty but she didn't talk much. I've never seen her around before so she must have just moved here. I smiled when I realized that she must be the person who was moving in a couple days ago. For the next couple of periods I didn't see Annabeth in any of my other classes. I saw Percy in one other class but I didn't pay much attention to him.

I didn't talk to Cody much today but that was because he was catching up with his friends. I did get to see him all summer and they really didn't but that doesn't make not spending time with him upsetting. He did stop me in the hallway to ask me to save him a seat at lunch though.

After the bell rang I walked to the lunchroom and found a lunch table. I set my backpack down and pulled out my lunch. Soon Cody and a couple football players came and sat next to me. They all started talking-leaving me out- so I ate my food quietly. When I was almost done I remembered for my next period I would need a reading book from the library. I excused myself, though I don't think anybody noticed, and headed towards the library.

I searched through the racks of books trying to find one that was interesting. I normally love mystery's. When I turned around though I did find a mystery. Annabeth was sitting at a table writing in a purple journal. She was by herself and didn't seem to notice I was staring at her. I slowly approached her.

"Hey Annabeth."

She jumped and slammed her notebook shut. She stared at me with wide eyes until she recognized me.

"What are you doing in here?"

"….nothing."

"Well….would you want to eat lunch with me?"

Her eyes narrowed slightly as if trying to figure something out. She stared at me for a moment before asking,

"Why?"

I smiled and she slowly stood up.

"Because I know what it's like to be the new girl. C'mon just come eat with me. I would feel awful if I left you in here to be by yourself."

"…ok."

She followed behind me as I walked back to the lunchroom. I noticed my previous table was now completely full. I sighed and scanned the lunch room until I found a small table in the back. I led Annabeth there and sat down. We didn't really say anything just kind of ate in awkward silence.

Annabeth's eyes widened and she smiled a little at something behind me. I turned and saw Percy walking towards us with an apple in his hand.

"Hey Annabeth I was looking for you! Oh hey Emily!"

"Hey Percy wanna sit with us?"

"Sure!"

Percy helped ease the tension at the table and we began talking about how our first day has been so far. After laughing for five minutes straight I came to realized that I would like to have Percy as a friend. Not only is he nice but he's pretty funny. Even Annabeth laughed at some of his jokes. Cody came over to us and sat down.

"Wow those guys sure can talk!"

"Well yea. You guys were talking for pretty much the whole lunch! Did you not even notice your best friend left?"

"Course I did Em. I was waiting for them to finish so I could find you."

Percy and Cody greeted each other and started talking about sports, a topic completely irrelevant to me so I turned to Annabeth.

"So how's your first day?"

"It's ok…."

"You're pretty shy you know that?"

Annabeth looked down at the table.

"Well hey I didn't mean it as a bad thing. It's ok to be shy I just don't want you to stay quiet you know? I want to be your friend and in order for that to happen you would have to talk to me."

Annabeth looked back up at me and I noticed Percy and Cody were staring at her too.

"Ok."

She probably must be embarrassed. The lunch bell rang and we all gathered up our trash. Annabeth once again pulled out that purple notebook and held it as she walked to her next class. I wonder what was in it?

Annabeth:

The rest of the day seemed to pass by rather quickly so before I knew it the last bell was ringing. Students piled out of the classrooms and into the hallway, once again making it impossible to walk anywhere without bumping into people. I read the text from my Aunt and sighed when I read she was going to be here in fifteen minutes. I guess I could explore the school a little.

Satisfied with the idea I grabbed my skateboard out of my locker and started wandering the halls. The other kids cleared out pretty quickly so there weren't many people around.

As I was walking I started thinking about all that happened today. I saw Percy again and he was nice enough to show me around. I met Emily, the nice girl who sits next to me first period. And the girl who said she wants to be my friend. I'm still not sure how to feel about that. And I somewhat met her friend Cody. From what I gathered he was a popular athlete. I normally don't like populars but he seemed nice enough. I mean he is friends with someone nice like Emily so he must not be that bad.

My feet absently took me to the music room door. I stopped outside of it and looked inside. No one seemed to be in there. I looked around to make sure no one was around; when I saw that the hallways were empty I walked inside. I sat down on the bench in front of the piano and smiled. I pulled out my journal and flipped to a certain page. I stared at a quote written on one of the pages for a minute.

"Don't be shy! Let your heart sing!"

My Mom used to say this all the time so I wrote it in the journal. I skipped past that page and turned to the one I was writing on today. I brushed my fingers across the keys and then placed my hands in the correct position.

Emily:

"Ok thanks Coach!"

"Finally! C'mon Cody let's go. I'm ready to go home."

Cody chuckled and fell into step with me.

"Ok ok We're going!"

I was so ready to go home. I had to wait almost ten minutes for Cody to finish talking with his football coach. Ok so maybe it was only four minutes but who's counting? Finally now that he's done we can leave! I really need to get my license so he doesn't have to drive me everywhere. Even though I will miss car rides with Cody. I love just hanging out with him.

When we started to leave the school I remembered I left a book I need in my locker so Cody and I turned around to get it. After receiving said book I shut my locker door. I looked at Cody and he went cross eyed. I smiled and rolled my eyes and he smiled back at me. I guess this is what I like most about Cody. He's easy to be around and he can make me smile without saying anything. Before he could take a step I wrapped my arms around his waist and stuck my head in the crook of his neck. I could feel him tense then relax. Soon enough his arms wrapped around me and I sighed.

"What's this for?"

He mumbled into my hair. I giggled and smiled.

"I just like how easily you can make me smile."

I pulled away and gave him an embarrassed smile. I noticed he was blushing a little and I inwardly smiled.

"Ok we had our little best friend moment let's get out of here."

As we walked in sync with each other I heard a faint noise coming from the music hall. I stopped mid-step and walked closer. I could hear a piano being played. I could hear Cody's footsteps behind me but I was too focused on the music. It was really good. I've never heard someone play the piano that well. As we approached the music room door I heard another set of footprints and saw Percy coming closer. He must have heard the music too but who's playing it?

Cody:

I followed Emily as she walked towards the music hall. I was confused to why she suddenly changed directions but soon enough I realized why, someone was playing a piano in the music room. It sounded really good. I wonder who was playing it. As Emily walked in front of me I couldn't help but take a quick glance at her butt. Hey in my defense how can she expect me not to look when she wears those tight jeans of hers? Her slightly curling hair in now in a loose ponytail and she's wearing one of my old football hoodies, it's a little big for her but that doesn't stop her from wearing it. She's too adorable for her own good sometimes.

When we got closer to the door I noticed Percy Jackson was coming to inspect the noise too. I've never really talked to him until today. We listened for a moment until we heard a voice begin to sing. Percy then stepped forward and made a move to open the door.

Percy:

Annabeth raced out of her last class before I could talk to her. I sighed and walked to my locker to grab my books. When I got what I needed I was about to turn to leave when I heard a noise. I followed the sound until I came closer to the music room. Someone was playing the piano in there. I could see Emily creeping up to the door and Cody checking Emily out. I chuckled a little to myself and walked closer to the door. The two best friends soon noticed me and we all stood and waited, just listening to the music. When I heard someone start to sing I froze. Whoever it was had an amazing voice. I stepped forward to open the door and I shared an anxious look with Emily. When the door was finally opened and saw it was Annabeth who was playing my jaw hit the floor.

Annabeth:

My fingers moved across the piano as if they were dancing. I could feel myself get lost in the beautiful sound of this wonderful piano. I looked up into my journal and started to sing the lyrics I was writing today in the library.

"I'm the girl in the corner of the room…

The one you never notice

Getting lost among the stars in the sky…

Like a picture out of focus.

I'm the sun in your eyes

Yet you don't see me

I wear no disguise

But you don't see me

I'm a total surprised

And you don't see me

I'm so agonized…

That you don't see me

You don't see me."

I started to play the end of the song but stopped abruptly when I heard clapping behind me. I had a mental panic attack and I could feel the color drain from my face. I turned around and saw Emily smiling, Cody with a shocked expression on his face and Percy clapping loudly. I grabbed my journal and started to stuff it in my back pack.

"Annabeth! That was am-"

"I'm sorry I have to go."

I rushed past them and down the hall. I sprinted out the doors and sighed in relief when I saw my Aunt sitting in her car looking down at her phone. I jumped in the car and shut the door.

"Hey Annabeth how was-"

"Great can we go now?"

She gave me a puzzled look but started the car anyway.

"Sure but I want to show you something before we go home."

I nodded and looked out the window. I can't believe they heard me sing. I should have stayed away from that stupid piano! What would they think of me now?


This was a fairly long chapter! Sorry if any of you became confused by the many POV switches I just wanted to show you everyone's first day!

I don't own the song. It's from Austin and Ally. I don't really have an option on the song but it was short and made me think of this Annabeth so I used it.

So what do you think Aunt Susie is going to show Annabeth?

I honestly don't think most of you will guess right. I can practically hear some of you saying challenge accepted! :)

So please review and I will respond! I'd love to hear song suggestions or answer questions any of you might have! Besides reviews make me happy :)

If I get a lot of reviews or more follows or favorites I'll update faster.

(I have chapter 3 and 4 already written up in a way...also I think I'm kind of rushing through these beginning chapters because I'm excited to write ideas I have for later chapters! Anyway that might be why these chapters are suddenly so long!)

Review, follow, and favorite! :)
