"Percy wake up! We're gonna be late!" Tyson said as he shook me. I let out a yawn and opened my eyes to meet large brown ones.

"finally your awake! It's already 8!" hearing '8' sent panic through me.

'Were gonna be late!' I mouthed at him as he gave me a 'no duh' look. I stuck my Tongue out at him as I combed my fingers through my raven black hair, making sure it covered my eyes while wrestling on a dark blue sweater. Tyson was already dressed and was making the bed while eating a peanut butter chip muffin; his favorite. I grabbed my backpack and the keys and literally dragged him out to my navy blue pickup truck, making sure to lock the front door. I shoved the key in the ignition, turned on the car, and drove out of the Motel parking lot.

We got to Tyson's school- Starless Elementary - in five minutes thanks to my fast and 'totally legal' driving.

'Have a good day. Don't get in trouble and call me when schools over!' I mouthed to him. He nodded and gave me a quick hug before getting out of the truck and running into the school with all the other kids. I hope this school is gonna be good for him. It would suck if he would have to Move again to another school for his last year in elementary.

Now time to get to my new school. I was now attending Goode High School after setting the last one of fire... Accidentally of course. I raced to the school and got there at 8:30 sharp. 15 minutes till class starts. I got out the truck, locked the doors and walked in Goode High School.

It was starting to get annoying. All the staring and random girls flirting with me as I walked by. It was getting pretty irritating. But I'm used to it I guess. This isn't the 1st time I'm the new kid who comes in the middle of the school year. Happens all the time... I don't really like it though. The people stare at you as if they've never seen another person before. I decided to ignore them by putting on ear-buds and hood on while walking to the main office. Once there, I took out my ear-buds.

" Perseus Jackson?" a plump lady behind the main desk asked as she lazily looked at me with her bored brown eyes, he blonde hair in a tight bun. I nodded.

"You really are mute then?" she asked. I nodded again. She nodded back and handed me a schedule.

"Can Annabeth Chase please report to the main office" she said over the intercom. I gave her a confused look. She ignored me and went back to the computer work she was doing before I came in. I folded my schedule into eight boxes and put it in my pocket and was about to sit down on one of the uncomfortable looking black plastic office chair when the office door swung open, revealing one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. I straightened my posture.

Her messy honey blonde curls were in a high ponytail with hair that fell out framing her face perfectly. Her deep stormy gray eyes that seemed to try to scare you but were so mesmerizing at the same time. Her tan California skin fit perfectly with her features, showing that she's not from NYC. She was only a few, probably 6 inches shorter than me. She was dressed pretty plainly though. Faded gray skinny-ish jeans, black half sleeve shirt with the word "Divergent" printed in white letters, worn out gray converse, grey side bag with an owl on it hanging at her waist, and a Yankees cap resting on her head. What really caught my eye was her necklace. A leather one with colored beads, a ring, and a small owl pendant. Looks kinda like the one I got from Summer Camp a few years ago...

"Are you just going to stand there staring at me or am I going to take you to class?" she said, bringing me back to reality. I averted my gaze to the floor, a deep blush erupting on my cheeks. I pointed at the door. When nothing happened I looked up at her to see her looking at me funny. I pointed again to get the same reply. I sighed and put up two fingers, indicating the 2nd choice.

"Ahh" she nodded, and led me out. Once in the hall way, I realize people were still staring at me but they looked shocked. I turned toward the girl who's name I don't know yet. She didn't seem to be paying attention to me though. I matched our paces and tapped her shoulder. Her she quickly turned here head towards me.

"Huh?" she said. I rolled my eyes and pointed at her. 'name?' I mouthed.

"Oh! Sorry! I'm Annabeth Chase... I'm your tour guide for today" she said quickly with less attitude that she had earlier. Geez, I sound like an old person scolding...

I nodded, letting a small smile on my face. She looked at me expectantly. I guess I looked confused because she said

"And you are?" I scolded myself, a light blush on my cheeks. I fumbled for the schedule in my pocket and unfolded it, handing it to her.

"Percy Jackson?" she looked up at me. I nodded. She nodded and skimmed over my schedule, and stopped in front of two lockers.

"So here's your locker, 118. Mine's a few down, 112. So your first class is... English with me! So we could just meet up with my friends and walk to class together." she said excitedly, her eyes lighting up. By the time she said that, we already had our books and things for class.

"C'mon" she gave me a kind smile. A light blush rose on my cheeks. Again...

"So are you mute?" She asked gently once we started walking. I gave her a light nod, not looking up from my 1st generation iPod Touch as I walked beside her.

"Percy watch out!" she warned me but was too late. I looked up just in time to run into a blonde guy. He was a few inches taller than me with sky blue eyes and a pale tannish skin. He looked like one of those pretty boys that made the girls swoon. The only thing that ruined the image was the scar that went down his right cheek. I knew that scar from anywhere.

'Luke' I mouthed, taking a step back.

This was a quick chapter so I'm sorry if its bad!
