Yup... just realized I spelled "Coach" completely wrong the entire first episode, so in case you got confused and wondered, no it was not a piece furniture but rather an actual human being that makes young students run for an hour or so in highschool.

I suck.

Getting out of Luke's bear hug was the easy part, avoiding the glares from the green eyed boy was the difficult one. That guy got some nerves! He acts like he owns the school after his third day, gives me some weird wink as if he was flirty and then stares at me for the rest of the day like he was studying some animal. He should spend some time staring himself in the mirror, might learn something about monkeys in their wild habitat.

"Aaaaand that is it for today fellas, you're all dismissed!" as soon as Paul finished his sentence everyone got out of their chairs and quickly made their way toward the halls as if they were escaping death. I guess I was the only one that actually liked English class, I thought Paul was quite nice even if his lessons were boring to death.

"Annie, you coming?" Luke waved to me from the exit of the class waiting for me to finish the packing and join him on his way to the front lawn of the school, pretty much where we all hanged out between classes and on our breaks. Nothing better than some fresh mountain air after a double class with Paul. Once again, no offense Mr. Blofis.

"I'll be there in a second." I replied, closed my bag and slung it over my shoulder.

As I raised my head and started to head towards the exit without looking I bumped my forehead into someone's nose. At first it was just confusing, I didn't really understood what was going on, then it was kinda painful and then I realized who I just hit.

"Would to you be so kind to watch where you are going?" I said annoyed as ever from the green eyed boy. " I was watching, I just didn't expect you to just rush outside without even looking so technically it was your fault." he said in a nonchalant manner, as if he didn't pay much attention to the river of blood that was pouring down his nose. Quite honestly, it just annoyed me even more.

"Anyway, what were you even doing walking here, you sit on the other side of the class and the door is in the opposite direction." I asked aware of the fact that it was my fault that the boy in front of me was bleeding but not quite ready to admit it to him.

"Maybe I was heading towards you." he replied and this time he was trying to shove a piece of toilet paper up his nose to stop the bleeding.

"What do you have to do with me?" I answered, amused of the faces he was doing while trying to stop the bleeding.

"I was trying to talk to yo.. and could you stop laughing at me while I'm trying to stop the nose bleed you inflicted me just a second ago? Some might say it's quite rude." he said, gave me a weird smile, clearly satisfied of his comeback.

"Ahh... yeah, sorry about that. I guess it was my fault. Here take this." I gave him more toilet paper for him to use to block his nose entirely.

"Eh, thanks. I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." he said and sent his hand for a handshake while still trying to stop the bleeding with his face towards the ceiling in attempt to fight gravity. Unfortunately, Newton didn't approve.

"Annabeth." I said shortly. "And don't think this changes anything, if you blast your music in the middle of the night I'm still gonna go and yell at you until you stop with that stupid habit."

He gave me a smile filled with white perfect teeth and said, "I'm counting on it."

I sent him a small smile trying not to be too flirty with him but I figured it was a lost cause.

I joined my friends that were standing outside of the class waiting for me.

"You took your time there" said Calypso, trying to give me a naughty wink and failing miserably. She did however succeed to gain some weird looks from the passing students that thought she was having a seizure.

"Yeah... I kinda made him blood all over the fl..." I started when Thalia joined the conversation.

"You made him bleed? Jeez Annie, the guy might have a crush for you but that doesn't mean you need to go around and beat him to death." she said jokingly.

"Haha Thals, it was a mistake but he should be aware of the dangers of hitting on me. I hit back." I said with a chuckle.

"Ohh, do I need to worry from the competition?" said Luke while giving me a small nudge while we exited the big front doors to the road that led to the front lawn.

"Yeah, yeah, dream on Luke. Not you nor him will ever have the amazing privileges of being my boyfriend." I gave him a teasing smile and ran forward towards our spot on the grass.

Thalia, Luke Calypso and Malcolm who joined us as soon as he saw us outside set down on the grass set down with us and watched the empty road that led to the outside of our pretty little prison in the mountains.

Don't get me wrong the views from our boarding school were amazing but after the first few months it's in the back of your mind and you don't really notice it. You start to miss the civilization and the sound of cars in the morning.

I laid my head on Malcolm's chest and let out a sigh. The green eyed boy passed in my thoughts. Percy Jackson... there was something weird about him which made me a bit uncomfortable that I couldn't quite place. He did have beautiful piercing green eyes that made me a bit uneasy... And an awful taste in music. Probably just his taste in music. Definitely that.

"How do you feel about skipping math? I could really use an extra hour outside, I feel like I'm about to go insane in there." said Thalia.

Calypso and Luke nodded. Me and Malcolm looked at each other.

"Sorry guys, not today, I can't miss math right now." he sighed. "My goddamn teacher will probably surprise me with a sweet pop quiz about the class I missed. So no skipping for me this time. Or ever."

"What a bitch." said Thalia and turned her gaze from Malcolm to me. "Well, well... what do we have here?" she gave me an evil smile, knowing how much I hate to skip classes. And it wasn't even December, we just started the school year and Thalia already wants to skip classes.

I gave an apologizing smile and said, "You know me Thalia... you know how much I hate to skip classes. I hate to be that person but..."

"Well alright then." she interrupted me. "then just don't be that person. You can hang out with us for a good hour or so. Think of all the fun stuff we'll do... like... sit around... and talk... and shit. Just come Annie, I'm sure a big girl like you can handle it." she teased me. "Ohh I almost forget, we have a new business to take care of." she gave me a meaningful stare. it worked.

"Fine. But if the teacher asks, you kidnapped me." I said while pointing at her.

"Don't worry Annie, it'll be fun, we are going to meet your future boyfriend."

Luke raised an eyebrow but I knew what she was trying to do.

"I really can't take that back right? Math sounds so much nicer right now."

Calypso laid a comforting hand on my shoulder but I saw a small naughty smile was sneaking onto her face and Luke looked worried in the corner of my eye.

"Ohh hell no. You had your chance to be a good girl, you chose the dark side instead!" she said trying to come off dramatic but with no avail. Apparently a black t shirt of a dead barbie and a (sarcastic) pink backpack with a big cartoony rainbow on the back of it ruin the effect.

Calypso chuckled and looked like she was waiting for the second that we will move our asses, the bell already rang and we were on borrowed time. I could already imagine the teachers waiting for us in the entrance to the dorms with plenty of earfuls.

But that can wait for now, apparently I was gonna meet my future boyfriend and I couldn't stand the thought of missing another wonderful appointment with Jackson, cause the first few were so great.

"Can someone tell me where are we going?" I asked confused and started to get angry. It appeared that none of my friends had any intentions to tell me.

We all climbed over the school fence and started walking through big thick trees.

"I thought we were skipping school to chill not to go hiking in the forest." I said quite displeased with the situation, as if knowing I'm going to have to deal with the Jackson boy wasn't enough.

"Calm down Annie, we know where we are going, and trust me you'll be amazed when we get there." Luke answered me while looking back at me and gave me an encouraging smile.

"I thought you are a tough girl Chase. All I hear is whining." Thalia yelled from a few meters in front of me, making her way through the low bushes on the ground.

"Shut up Thalia, I didn't know we were going on a field trip. I was just surprised."

"Shut up for a second." Calypso shushed us and told us to get down on our knees.

"What happened?" Luke whispered.

"I thought I heard something. Are you sure there isn't a better way that doesn't go through the forest Thals?" Calypso asked, still whispering.

"Don't start as well, It's fine, I've done this more than once, It's completely safe. And short."

"Fine, let's keep moving."

As soon as Calypso finished the last word we heard a branch crack somewhere around us. It was really hard to tell but it definitely seemed as if something was walking along side us.

The trees were thick and the bushes were high and didn't allow any kind of view of the environment around us which made our pace even slower.

Another branch cracked and we heard steps near us. This time they were loud, clumsy steps.

"Well fuck, I have no clue where I'm at." said a familiar voice.

"Hey Grover! Over here, just walk towards my voice." yelled Calypso towards the bushes.

After a few more seconds and plenty more swearing a brown haired guy with a goatee appeared next to us, his jeans dirty from mud and his green t shirt had caught some leaves along the way which to be honest just camouflaged him better.

"Woah there big guy, how are you doing?" Luke said and laid a hand on his shoulder as if to confirm he was all well. Needless to say it was quite effective.

"I thought you'd be the first to get there" said Thalia. "Nature is your thing after all."

"Yeah, yeah I know. I just got a bit lost. I forget how I got there the first time so I was trying to retrace my steps when I got distracted by a beautiful eagle. Probably one of the last ones of it's kind..." he sighed as if he was mourning all of his family. Which he was.

"Anyhow, let's get a move on, the rest are probably already there" Calypso said, once again anxious to get there. After Thalia and Grover decided on which direction we should take I finally realized what that meant. "Wait. Is EVERYONE going to be there?"

"Well, not everyone, just the close circle. Malcolm for example and some others like Chris and Ethan and Jason couldn't join but at least a few more." Thalia replied while battling a rather persistent bush. "Your friend definitely made an impression on the guys."

"Still not my friend." I answered a bit annoyed while having my own fight with a branch from an old tree. "Probably never if I can do something about it."

"Well that's the thing with your heart... once he made his choice there's nothing you can do about it." Calypso gave me a teasing smile and continued walking through the trees.

I slowed down a bit and joined Grover in the back line.

"How are you doing Grover?" I asked him trying to start a conversation.

"Hmmm." was the only answer I got.

"It's still kinda sad isn't it? He is a king up there with no one to match him yet he is so close to extinction. Life's not really that fair uh?" Grover had a sad expression over his face.

"It isn't. But there's not much you can do about it. Not right now anyways. One day I'm sure you'll be out there saving all of those animals and forests Grover. I can already see it." I said trying to cheer him up, it seemed to be working because a small smile appeared on his face.

"Yo guys, we got there!" Luke yelled and disappeared between the trees.

I moved forward and got out of the tree line and discovered a rather small glade with a little stream running through it. It was quite beautiful and from the corner of my eye I saw Grover getting excited about being here for apparently the second time. Needless to say he missed the place.

"It's awesome." I said looking for Thalia but she was already ahead talking to some guys who were waiting for us.

I saw Will Solace, the Stoll brothers, Piper that was sitting next to Leo and... Jason apparently. It seemed like he did make it in the end. So all together we were about ten guys and girls who decide to skip class so we could all have a... weird meeting in the woods. Seems important enough to skip math right?

"Yo Jason!" I heard thalia that was walking towards Jason. "I thought you couldn't make it"

"At first I thought so too but our teacher was so clueless as to what was happening in class I just got out of the window mid class. I have zero clue how he didn't notice." he said and joined laughing with the others. "I do think he was kinda drunk."

"Well... we all know Mr. D." she replied with tears in her eyes.

"Guys, guys! Gather around." Will stood up and ordered the others to sit next to him on a few logs that was placed there. Grover was definitely displeased with the idea. He sat down.

"Well, first of all I appreciate you all coming down here today. I know some of you had to go through extra effort." he was looking at Jason.

"Nevertheless, you know why we are here. It is all about the new guy. Percy Jackson. After a brief meeting before hand we decided we should consider recruiting him to our.. hmm... thing?" we never labeled ourselves before. We got around and hanged out outside of school and after a while we decided it will be more fun to make it sort of formal and that's how our little group was formed.

"Anyhow..." Jason stood up. "Let's cut to the chase. All those who are in favor in Percy joining us?"

nine hands up, one down and a frowny blonde. Me.

"It is settled then! He is in." declared Will.

"Dismissed fellas, no beer today, come back in the night!" Jason winked at us all.

Displeased, myself and the rest of the guys made our way back to school.

The rest kept talking together and exchanging funny stories from school but my mind was someplace else. First of all, Percy wasn't there. I wasn't sure if she was just trying to mess with me or trying to see how I would react if I thought he would be there.

Nevertheless Thalia should know better than trying to give me a new boyfriend.

That Jackson is definitely not to my liking. Or anybody's.

And that's all for now. I hope you enjoyed this one and I hope you had a good time.

By the way I'm sorry if I got some of the names a bit messed up in the first episode, I'm kinda sloppy when it gets to the late hours of the night. Not an excuse, just sayin' ;)

ugh, I won't say much more so... just know that I'm extremely busy and not doing the best.

Good night fellas,

Love you all,

Niel.
