A.N: Hey guys, I just realized...in the previous chapter, it says that Annabeth has moved to NY, which means that she obviously started a new school.. The way MiriLaren and I have written the story, it sort of hints that she's been at the school for a while.. If you would please just ignore that, it would be great! Thanks!

I walked with Percy and Annabeth after lunch to our lockers. Man, it was the first time I had seen Annabeth smile due to genuine happiness. Normally, she's smirking at us for failing miserably in class.
"So," I started, "you guys…. are dating..?" (I secretly hoped they would say no).
"Yeah, we actually are." Annabeth replied.
"Yup! It's been about a month now." Percy added. He looked over at Annabeth and smiled. She returned it and took his hand, effectively crushing the hopes of anyone in the school who was single.
It was like they were in their own little bubble. They didn't care that everyone was watching them. All that mattered was that they were together. It made me wonder what they had gone through together to become like this.
"Oh, ok," I said, "where did you guys meet?"
Percy snickered. "At camp." He replied, winking at Annabeth. She scowled before relaxing into a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Camp?" I asked. "The same one that Annabeth goes off to every year?"
"Yea, that camp," Annabeth answered. "Wait... How do you know that I go to camp every year?"
I blushed. "Oh, just something I heard from someone." I hastily covered up the fact that I may have just seemed like a stalker.
"Ok then.." Annabeth threw me a suspicious glance.
While we were walking, we didn't realize that we were about to walk into two other people. It seems that they didn't realize either. All of a sudden, there was a big crash and Percy, Annabeth, and these two other kids fell on the floor.. Luckily, I jumped out of the way, so I wasn't apart of the the pile-up.
Annabeth jumped up and growled menacingly at the two kids. Seeing this, Percy scrambled to his feet and attempted to calm her down.
"Hey Wise Girl, calm yourself. You don't want to make any hasty decisions."
"Let me go Seaweed Brain! It's not like I'm going to kill anyone anytime soon!"
"Wise Girl? Seaweed Brain?" Questioned a voice from the pile on the floor. Annabeth and Percy whirled around to look at the two kids down there. Their eyes widened and they helped them up.
"Nico! Thalia!" They both exclaimed. Nico and Thalia straightened up. This gave me a better chance to properly look at them.
The guy, Nico, was dressed in black. He looked pretty young, and seemed to be uncomfortable around people in general. He had olive skin, but was slightly pale at the same time. His eyes were dark, and his clothes were somewhat baggy.
The girl, Thalia, was also mostly dressed in black. She had spiky black hair, and electric blue eyes. She wore a 'Death to Barbie' T-shirt with a black leather jacket and skull earrings, which totally went against the silver tiara-looking thing in her hair.
"Percy! Annabeth!" Nico and Thalia screamed. The four starting hugging it out in the middle of the hallway. I had no idea what to do, so I just stood to the side not saying anything.
Finally, the group separated and Nico and Thalia turned to look at me. I gave them a nervous smile and waved.
"Guys, this is Liam." Percy introduced. "He helped me get around the school today."
"Hey Liam, I'm Thalia." Her blue eyes seemed to pierce me as she shook my hand.
Nico just waved at me. "Sup." He didn't seem like a very social person.
"Hi." I replied. I turned to Thalia. "What's with that tiara thing in your hair? You don't seem like you like princesses." I blurted out.
Her bright eyes flared in intensity, scaring the crap out of me. I also thought I heard lightning. "Actually, never mind. I don't think I want to know." I backtracked as fast as I could, and ran into the lockers.
"Anyway," Annabeth safely steered the conversation away from me and Thalia, "how is it that I'm the daughter of wisdom, yet I still didn't know that you three were in my school?!"
"Wait, the daughter of wisdom?" I asked, "Who's your mother?"
Annabeth, Percy, Thalia, and Nico froze and stared at me. "Umm.." they all started.
Annabeth cut in. "My mom's the smartest person in the world. That's what I meant when I said I'm wisdom's daughter." She smiled weakly at me.
"Nice save." I heard Percy mutter sarcastically. She gave him a murderous look. "If your mom is the smartest person in the world, then why haven't I heard of her before?" I inquired, "She must be famous if she's 'the smartest person in the world'." Annabeth's eyes grew stormy. "Oh trust me, she's very famous." She muttered.
"Really? Then what's her name?" I asked. Annabeth stiffened. "Umm….someone famous." She hastily blurted and walked away, dragging Percy along with her. Thalia gave me a death glare and stalked away, with Nico on her heels.
'Well that was an interesting first day of school.' I thought.
A.N: I know, the ending was kind of lack luster, and I apologize for that... The folloqing chapters will definitely be better, I promise. MiriLaren and I have a few ideas for the plot of the story, but we're open to what you guys think! Remember, I'll be updating every Sunday, so check in next week for a new chapter! Thanks! Review please!
