Percy's POV

I walked into my class and sat down next to Annabeth. We are best friends, no romance or anything. We'd been friends since my first quest back when I was 12, trying to find Zeus's Bolt, so there wouldn't be a World War III. She is also the only one who knew where my Achilles Heel is.

"Hi!" Annabeth muttered, while reading a book.

"Hi!" I said, snatching her book from her and sitting on it.

"Hey, give it back!" she said, while trying to grap it.

"Not until you give me my pen back." I said. She had stolen my favourite pen yesterday, as revenge for me scaring her last week. I had bought some fake blood and had smeared it all over myself. I then went to her house, rang the doorbell and fake-collapsed on the doormat. She totally freaked out.

"O.K! Here have it back." she said while dropping the pen on my table, "Now, give me my book back!"

"O.K. No need to start fuming." I said, giving her her book back.

"I wasn't, Seaweed Brain!" Just as I was about say something back but our teacher walked in and started teaching. I don't understand why Annabeth always takes notes, like she's the Daughter of Athena, doesn't she already know it all?

"Dear Class, today we will be learning about..." That's all my brain processed before getting distracted. His black hair, the color of night, had fallen just perfectly, covering his rich brown eyes, that you could fall asleep watching. You could see all the pain he had been through in his eyes, it was like shattered glass, broken and unrepearable. It was like he was hiding a big secret, shrouding his heart in darkness. He was about a head smaller than me. He'd been wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, a skull top and a leather jacket. He'd also had a skull ring on, which deeply reminded me of Hades. He couldn't be a demigod, could he? Why was I think about him like this? Was I gay? Is he gay? It might be why I had no interest in Rachel, even though, according to Annabeth, she had been flirting with me the whole time. He'd been so frail and pale. When I saw him I had wanted to give him a big hug and feed him some blue cake.

"Percy? Earth to Percy." What, who's talking?

"Come on, class has finished Seaweed Brain, you need to get to P.E." Annabeth said, while shaking my shoulders.

"Oh O.K." I muttered, getting up.

"What were you thinking about? It's very unlike you to be sitting still and not getting in trouble throughout the whole lesson, Seaweed Brain."

"Nothing!" I said, protectively. She know not to ask any more questions, so we walked out of the class room and left for our next classes.
