(Oh, and its Hill high school cause I thought it would be Camp Half-blood, high school style, thank you very much.)

Annabeth: I found out all the errors you made.

Percy: WHY AM I SO SAPPY?!

Me: No, you're not.

Percy: I kissed someone on FIRST SIGHT?!

Me: That was Mouth-to-Mouth resuscitation.

Percy: What?!

Me: MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION!

Percy: What to what vegetation?! What is that?!

Me: UGHHHH! I GIVE UP!

Okay. There was also one more good thing when your family was on vacation without you. I trudged in to my house. I was shivering. Although it was summer, it was a little cold. I went straight to the bath room. The warm water seemed to revive me. It washed away the cold, salty sea water. I took off my wet clothes, and put it in the washing machine. I checked my ears. One of my owls was missing! I must have lost it at sea. I wept silently. I lost the present my mother gave me, the only thing that connected me and her. I was devastated. But I cannot stay this way. Crying and bawling over won't make my earing come back. I changed my clothes. Black T-shirt and jeans. I didn't feel like wearing shorts. It was almost morning. I started packing my school bags. I slept before I could do that yesterday. I watched as the sun rose over the horizon. I didn't want to be late. I slung my gray backpack on and started going out. I headed to the bus stop. While waiting for it to come, I stared out the new driveway. I wonder what kind of buildings there would be here. There might have been other things built while I was away. But NO. Nothing had changed since I was gone. Even the strawberry field near the Dionysus house was same. Well, I guess Mr. Dionysus is lazy. His children look after it. Pollex is nice. (Unlike his father, of course. ) The school bus came. I got into the bus and look for a seat for me to sit. I see an empty seat next to a girl with spiky black hair and a blue highlight. She wore a black jacket, and beneath it was a green day shirt. She wore black jeans and black eyeliner. She had electric blue eyes. I sat down next to her.

"Hello, my name is Annabeth. Nice to meet you."

"My name's Thalia, thank you very much. I haven't seen you around here. Are you new?" she asked. "Yup, I moved from California." "Then you can join our table during lunch. You don't know anybody else here, do you?" "No I don't. I appreciate your offer." I answered. We talked about things, and I liked her. She was kind and helpful, but you do NOT want to get on her bad side. She might kick your sorry butt. Nobody bullied her. She was quite strong. And she was great with a bow. Once, she said, there was an archery class in gym. Hill high school was weird. She had been very good at it. "But my cousin was really, really, bad. He hit the teacher on his leg." I giggled. "What happened after that?" "It's bright as the moon. He got detention of course. Once I asked where every road leads, you know that phrase that every road leads to Rome?" "Yeah." "We had learned that during literature class, and he slept through it. When I asked him that question, he was all like 'Huh? What?' and I was all like 'I asked you, where does every road lead, kelp head!' and he said 'Uh... Detention?'" We burst out laughing. "My other cousin has a talent in ruining good quotes. He was all sleepy during algebra, so Percy asked him 'Sleepy, death breath?' and he yawn and said, 'With great power… comes a great need to take a nap. Wake me up later." We giggled. After I took my first breath, I asked Thalia. "Who's Percy?" "The cousin I told you had a talent in getting detention." The bust stopped in front of the school. We walked out with the stream of students getting out of the bus. I had hope that maybe, just maybe, this school term might not be so hard. I already made a friend, and first class hadn't even started. My luck was holding out this time. But from experience, I knew that I shouldn't push my luck too much.

I visited the principals office, and got my schedule and my locker number. My locker was 234. (It was all like 'Hmmmm… 234 or 123?) I got out my schedule as I opened my locker. My first period was literature from Mrs. Kerr. I picked up my book and went to class 2-D. As I walked in, I saw people were all talking with each other. Some sluts were talking about make-up and some were applying the very said things. They popped their lips, and dabbed at their mascara. Ugh. Not more Aphrodite kids! I like the Greek gods, so I called these sluts who only worry about their beauty and stuff, Aphrodite kids, as in the Greek goddess of love and beauty. I have nothing against the goddess herself, but still, those girls behave like on. I quickly walk to an empty seat. I was sitting next to Thalia, Thank gods! (Like I told you before, I like Greek GODS!) On my back was a boy wearing a hoody. He had the hood on, so I couldn't see his face, nor I wanted to. He was looking out the window, looking bored, and class hasn't even started yet. The bell rang and the jocks started walking in. Mrs. Kerr came in. she was a bony teacher with cereal colored hair and muddy blue eyes. She said, "There is a new student today. Annabeth Chase, could you come up please?" As I walked up to the front of the class room, the boy in the back glanced at me. He turned his gaze back to the window, but then, like he was jolted by electricity, he snapped his gaze back to me and stared. I could tell that he was surprised, terrified even. I could see that he had black hair out of the hood. I reached the front of the class. "Hi, my name is Annabeth Chase. Nice to meet you." After that, Mrs. Kerr let me take my seat.

I closed my science book as the lunch bell rang. The jocks were laughing at something and the Aphrodite girls were giggling over one of the boys. I rolled my eyes and headed to the cafeteria. I got my plate and stood in line. I looked around, and spotted Thalia waving to me at the back table. I made my way toward her. There were about 10 people there. Thalia introduced me to each one of them. There was the hooded boy in Literature! I wonder why he was surprised to see me. Maybe he had seen me somewhere? But I haven't met anybody. I had moved yesterday! The only person I saw was…That boy at the beach! But he couldn't be! Could he? I growing cloud of suspicion was growing inside me. I looked one last time at the mysterious boy, and turned my attention back to Thalia. If my suspicion was right, this hooded boy would be the boy who saved me at the beach today. I hope he isn't I don't think I can live knowing that this boy knows what happened at the beach.

And I found out that he is Thalia's cousin. Well, my luck is running out. Cause I speculated that I would see this boy a lot, being my new best friend's cousin. So, there were 10 people there. There was a boy with close-cropped blond hair. He was wearing a purple shirt and a windbreaker. He had a little white scar on his lips. Thalia told me that he was Jason, his little brother. Next to him, holding his hand was a girl with choppy chocolate colored hair and kaleidoscope eyes. She was wearing an Eagle's feather in her braid, and she had on a normal white shirt and jeans. She tried to play down her beauty, but she was still seriously beautiful. She was Piper McLean, daughter of Triston Mclean, yeah, the movie star. She didn't seem to boast about it. There was a big burly guy with a baby face. He looked like a wrestler teddy bear. He was Frank Zhang. His family currently lived in Canada. When I asked him about them, his faced drooped, so I dropped the subject. There was this girl with gold eyes like 14 Karat gold. She had brown hair and her skin was a little dark. She introduced herself as Hazel Levesque. Her mother was a jewelry smith in town. By her body language, I speculated that this Hazel girl like Frank, and Frank like this girl too. But they were not couples yet. They were cute together. I hope they will get together. There was a emo guy. He looked dark. He looked secretive and gloomy. He's name was Nico Di Angelo, and I felt kind of uncomfortable next to him. There was a red-headed girl with green eyes, like mist. She looked kind enough to me. I liked her that instant. Her name is Rachel Dare. Would it be a coincidence that her last name is like the Dare Corporation? There was a boy with curly brown hair with brown eyes, and a 'back to nature' t-shirt, so I figured that he was an environmentalist. He behaved like one too. He talked about the Amazon rain forest throughout lunch time. But he was friendly. He told me that he had a muscular disease in his legs. I saw that he used crutches, but he claimed that he didn't use those much. And there was Thalia's cousin, Percy Jackson. He looked at me, but I couldn't make out his features or even his face. The darn hood was covering it up, and his long hair was in the way. Well, America's a free country, so if this boy wants to make his identity a secret, who am I to stop him? BUT I am still curious about his appearance. This school year is going to be interesting.

Hope you liked it! Review! I didn't know how to update a new chapter, but I finally found out how. I would try to update sooner. I wish everyone a jolly winter!
