Disclaimer: Me: *looks into mirror* Hmm not Rick. *Twirls around again* Yep, definitely not Rick.

Annabeth POV

Walking into dining area, my heart fluttered. Everyone was in their own friendship group, chatting, laughing, smiling and having fun leaving me feel out of place. I went and joined the end of the queue to get my food when I realised a familiar figure standing in front of me. Percy was busy listening to his iPod bobbing his head along to the music as he waited for his turn. I couldn't help but notice his sea green eyes that sparkled under the moonlight, his dark hair that looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and how fit he was. His last name ringed a bell, Jackson. Why did it sound so familiar? She racked her head hard and it started to come to her. No, no, no it can't be! Jackson is a common last name right? Percy couldn't be him, could he? I probably looked quite stupid because just then Percy turned round and caught me staring at him.

'Hey Annabeth,' he took his earphones out then looked up at me and I quickly snapped back to reality.

'Hey' I simply said.

'We keep bumping to each other don't we?' he pointed out while shuffling along the line picking up his tray.

'Mmm I guess so, where you from Percy?' I tried to make conversation as the line continued to shorten.

'Manhattan. You?' he started to get his food and so did I.

'California.' I answered. We both reached out for the spoon at the same time and our hands touched. I pulled away in a jolt and looked away to hide my now cherry red face.

'Sorry, I forgot my manners. Ladies first.' Percy gestured with one hand and did not seem at all flustered.

'Oh yeah thanks.' I quickly spooned the mashed potato and hurriedly made way to an empty table near the back. Carefully setting down my tray so I don't spill anything, I was thoroughly surprised to see Percy heading my way as well. He slid into the seat opposite mine and started to munch on his burger.

'You know, this beef burger is really good' he commented halfway through his burger.

'It's chicken you kelp head.' I teased.

'Really?' he stopped to examine his burger. 'I'm sure this is beef, and how am I a kelp head?'

I shrugged as I took a bite out of my salad, ' Dunno, the name suits you.'

'Whatever,' he continued on his burger.

Percy POV

I walked next to Annabeth towards the amphitheatre as a middle-aged man with thinning brown hair, bushy eyebrows, intense brown eyes and a scruffy beard stepped onto the stage with a microphone in his hand.

'Welcome, welcome, welcome to a new year here at University for the Gifted!' his voice boomed from the speakers whilst everyone hustled about to find a seat. ' I would like to warmly welcome the first years and wish them an enjoyable year here.' I clapped politely along with the others ' I am your deputy head, Chiron and now I would just like to remind everyone that the woods are out of bounds and so is the beach.' Unless you've been given permission, you have no excuse. Right, it is a tradition that our freshmen receive a round of applause at the beginning of the year. So here we go, first we have Annabeth Chase!'

Annabeth, who was sitting beside me, stood up and smiled. I found myself smiling as well, what's wrong with me?

'Perseus Jackson!' At the sound of my name I rouse and took a little bow, I could hear giggling in the audience. Annabeth gave me a questioning look as I sat down.

'Perseus? Like the Greek hero?' she whispered.

'Got a problem Wise Girl?' I whispered back.

She scowled. 'Wise Girl?'

I didn't say anything and turned back to Chiron who was still reading out names. Realising I wasn't going to answer her question, Annabeth sighed and turned to the stage as well. Chiron finished reading the list and handed the mircophone to a grouchy and bored looking man with a chubby face, a red nose and curly hair so black, it looks purple. He wore a tiger-striped Hawaiian shirt and purple running shoes. Immediately, I didn't like this man and I knew we wouldn't get along well.

'Hello students, welcome welcome, blah blah I'm your head teacher Dionysus but you can call me Mr D, and yes yes nice to meet you, if you need anything go to Chiron because I will be busy. That's all.' and with just that he walked of the stage. The student body didn't look confused at all whilst some of the freshmen had puzzled looks on their faces.

'Is it me or are Greek mythology names really a hit these days?' Annabeth whispered to me again.

'How am I supposed to know? Who is Dionysus in Greek mythology again?

'God of wine, parties, grape-harvest, ritual madness, and ecstasy as well as theater.' she replied.

'No wonder he looks drunk' I joked and we stifled a laugh that caused Mr D to send a glare at us. We immediately quieten down.

Chiron took the microphone again and made a couple more announcements. 'First years, your schedule starts tomorrow and attached to it is a map of our campus but if you don't quite understand or find your way round you can ask one of our older students for help. No one is allowed outside their cabins after 10, you do not want to face Mr D and my wrath. First years, will you please lead out first and head towards the Big House for a introduction get-together. Argus will lead you.'

Argus lead us into what looked like a rec room. Beanbags were scattered on the carpet, a fridge stacked with refreshments cried out to us, two game machines beeped in the corner, a notice board hung on the wall, a ping pong table stood to the side and a shelf full of old board games. Annabeth and I shared a beanbag as everyone else filed in and settled down. Argus signalled for silence and cleared his throat, 'I'm Argus and I am a prefect but also your 'guardian' you could call it so don't hesitate to ask me if you have any queries! My cabin is next door so feel free to knock. Now I would like everyone to get into small groups with people near them and get to know each other.

The girl who was sitting on the carpet in front of us turned around as did the two boys on our right. The girl had dark skin, chocolate brown hair that was cut choppy and uneven with thin strands braided on either side of her hair and eyes that seemed to change colour like a kaleidoscope going from brown to blue to green. The boys also faced us, he was tall and skinny with a mop of curly brown hair that hung in his blue eyes. He also had upturned eyebrows, a sarcastic as well as crook smile and a gleam in his eyes, the other one had curly brown hair, brown eyes and caucasian skin. In the end, another three boy and one girl joined our group, by this time it wasn't exactly 'little' anymore. The girl was African American with shoulder-length curly golden-brown hair and gold eyes. Her skin was as brown as a roasted coffee bean and she looked fit. One of the guys looked like superman with his tidy military cropped blond hair, electric blue eyes, there was a small scar on the corner of his lip, he was very tall probably an inch taller than me, with an athletic build, having muscular and tanned arms. The two other boys looked like complete opposites. The shorter one looked like a " Latino Santa's elf," with curly black hair, dark brown eyes, pointy ears, a cheerful, babyish face, a mischievous smile, with a slim build. His eyes looked as if he had taken much more caffeine then the normal limit. The bigger guy was large and stocky frame. He had a babyish face with brown eyes and black short hair which seemed oddly out of place with his stout body and military haircut. Kind of like a koala with muscles. Finally, a very confident-looking girl joined us with piercing dark eyes and glossy black hair worn in a single braid.

I decided to break the awkward silence that was slowly weighing down on us.

'I'm Perseus Jackson but people call me Percy.' I smiled at the group and was glad most of them smiled back.

Annabeth went next, 'I'm Annabeth Chase.'

'I'm Piper McLean' said the girl with braids in her choppy hair.

'Leo Valdez's my name.' grinned the 'Latino Santa's elf'

'Conner Stoll' the guy with upturned eyebrows introduced.

'I'm Jason Grace.' said 'superman'.

'My name's Frank Zhang.' the koala looked kind of embarrassed at his last name but I found it cool, he was half asian!

'I'm Hazel Levesque.' the African American girl smiled.

'Reyna' that girl looked like she could beat up anyone, kinda creeped me out.

Wow! There was definately a mix race in here, and everyone seems nice, I thought to myself. I looked over at Annabeth and I knew she was thinking the same thing. This year was going to be amazing.

How did you like that! It was a bit too long maybe? I don't know. The little Percabeth moment in the end there, you see? Hehe :) I didn't include Thalia, Travis, Katie and Clarisse in this chapter because there was too many and plus they are all older than Percy and Nico is younger so they would be in a different year. They will definately appear in the upcoming chapters. Also, I will add hints of Jiper and Frazel as well. All right then, you know what to do now my lovely readers! What did you say? Review? BINGO! So what you waiting for, type something in that box beneath this and review!
