Annabeth's POV

I opened my eyes and sighed as we pulled into the parking lot of Goode High School, my own personal hell for the next 9 months. I love to learn and gain knowledge, I am the daughter of Athena after all but slutty girls, obnoxious boys and mind games? No thanks.

"Ready?" Percy asked grabbing my hand and squeezing it tight.

I sighed and looked to towards the grey building that looked a little more like a prison than school "Ready."

We walked through the doors and down the hall to the office, a stream of whispers followed us. Percy had been missing for a year during the Giant War and that wasn't something that could easily overlooked. One group of girls wearing to much makeup and to little clothes walked up to us. The girl who I assumed was the ring leader walked right up to Percy trying to stick her boobs in his face.

"Hey Percy," She said in what I suppose was suppose to be a seductive voice, "Where you been?"

"Um… Away! With my… um… Girlfriend!" he said thrusting me in front of him. I chuckled to myself and rolled my eyes, seaweed brain looked scared for his life!

"Hi," I said holding my hand out for her to shake as Aphrodite said fake it till you make it, "I'm Annabeth Chase nice to meet you." She analyzed me the same way I was analyzing her, she was not your normal mean girl.

"Ruby, nice to meet you too, so your the mysterious girlfriend from camp that none of us thought existed." She said a polite smile on her face, unfortunately that smile did not match her ice cold glare trying look through to my very soul. I have spent my whole life learning to read people and from what I can tell this bitch won't back down without a fight. She was cold, cunning and manipulative. She would use people as a stepping stone no matter what the cost and right now she had her sights set on Percy as her next victim.

"Yup that would be me," I said giving the same fake smile, "I would love to stay and talk but Percy and I have to head to the office and get our schedules before the bell rings."

"Oh ok then, well Percy if you ever have trouble finding a classroom after being away for so long you know where to find me," She winked at him then strutted away making sure to make a good show of her butt as she went.

"Thank you so much Annabeth I don't know what I would do without you and I do have her number but that was only for a project last year and I would never think of—"

"Woah there seaweed brain, I believe you I know you would never leave me for someone like Ruby" I said putting my hand on his chest, "Come on lets just go to the office and get our schedules I'm sure the bell is going to ring any second."
