Annabeth's POV

The bell rang, letting us go to our first class. Our Homeroom teacher, Mr. D, as he makes us call him that, passed us our schedules quickly.

SCHEDULE:

First: Math

Second: Literature

Third: English

Fourth: World History

Lunch!

Fifth: Chemistry

Sixth: Biology

Elective: Art

I sighed and went out into the busy hall to meet up with Thalia and see what classes we had together.

When I saw her, she looked sad, and she pulled me into the bathroom.

"What?" I ask.

"WHAT? Did you NOT hear that comment Nico made to you? HE LIKES YOU!" I was shocked at her outburst. She was pacing back and forth while I leaned against the mirror.

"Um, okay…" I said, not knowing what to say back.

"OKAY? NO! You have to tell him you don't like him back…you KNOW I like him…That's what a best friend does!" she tells me, stopping her pacing and facing me with desperate eyes.

I sigh. "I'll tell him…" I didn't like him anyways. He wasn't even my friend.

She smiled with glee and hugged me. I smiled, and hugged her back. We broke apart and stepped out into the hall. Then she took my schedule from my hand and compared. Her smile dropped.

"We only have literature, English, and chemistry together…well those and lunch…" she says, handing me my paper back. She smiles.

"See you next period, have fun at math!" she skips away and leaves me on my way to my Algebra 2 class.

I got there pretty quickly, seeing as it was a couple classrooms away from homeroom. I walked in and found a seat. The only seat. That just happened to be next to Percy. Great…

He looked at me and watched as I put my stuff down. I sank into the chair and tried to avoid eye contact with everyone, except the teacher.

"Hello, I'm your Algebra 2 teacher, Mr. Asthenia, kind of like Athena, but different. Now, we will start off with a review…" I got bored quickly by Mr. Athens or whatever his name was and I got out my sketch book. I had placed my books in a specific position so that the teacher wouldn't see me doodling instead of taking notes.

"Ms. Chase?" I look up.

"yes, sir?" I ask.

"Would you be so kind as to say the Quadratic formula?" I groan a bit as I only know it in the tune of Pop goes the Weasel.

"ok… X equals negative B, plus and minus the square root, of B squared minus four AC, all over two A…" a couple kids laugh as to why I sang it, but I ignored them and focused on my drawing.

"Thanks you, Ms. Chase. And by the way, that was very creative." I roll my eyes. "Now, Mr. Jackson. In what equation would you use this method?" I almost laugh at how easy this was.

"A Quadratic Equation?" Percy says. The teacher nods.

"That's correct." And the rest I tuned out. I focus on my next portrait. It was Percy. Why I was drawing him, I've no idea. I just needed a specimen.

I hear a "pst" next to me, and I look over at Percy. He was holding a piece of paper with his cell number on it. I looked away. He pst me again and wrote something on the paper.

I wanna talk to u.

I sighed and took out my cell phone. I made sure it was on silent though. I entered his number.

Me: What?

Percy looked at his phone and saved me as a contact.

Perce: ur drawing is cool. The 1 from earlier?

Me: uh, thanks…

Perce: So, I wanna apologize for being in ur seat this morn

Me: it's ok. You didn't know that there was a seating chart.

Perce: and I wanna become friends.

I pause for a moment before replying.

Me: sure, I guess…

Perce: ?

I chuckled.

Me: boys are so oblivious… and what's with Nico lately?

Perce: He likes u

Me: Well, no shit. What I meant was, why is he acting on it now?

Percy sighed and began to take a while to put his thoughts together.

Perce: Because I told him 2. I am a bit of a ladies' man and I wanted 2 help him. He's liked u since last year.

I almost laugh at loud, but since I would get in trouble, I keep it in.

Me: You? A ladies' man? Yeah right… and I don't even like Nico…

Perce: well that sucks for him

Me: why would it suck?

He didn't have time to respond. The bell rang. I put my cell away and pick up my stuff.

"I will see you all tomorrow!" Mr. Asthenia said.

I escaped into the hall and started off to literature.

"Hey! Wait up!" Percy said. He catches up to me and walks along side with me. "You didn't think you were getting out of my sight that quickly, did you?" I chuckle.

"I didn't know you were my body guard…" I say, walking into Chiron's class, literature. He followed me.

"Haha, very funny." I roll my eyes. "Can I see your schedule?" I put my stuff down on a desk and fish out my schedule from my pocket. He grabs his and compares. The he whistles. I get confused.

"Why the musical note?" I ask. He cracks a smile.

"We have EVERY single class together."

Oh gods PLEASE help me

Hi guys.

Ok I didn't really like one of the comments I read. It was actually very hurtful. But I'm ignoring it.

Please give me some GOOD comments or suggestions. I will accept anything.

Also, a blackout has been scheduled for July 13. That's next week, on Friday. Friday the 13th. Sweet.

Please participate in it EVEN if you are against violence, sexual scenes, etc. They are still other people's stories and they were probably worked hard on. No one should have to lose their stories.

Well thanks for reading!
