"Yo Valdez!"

Leo Valdez heard a familiar voice calling out to him, and after an internal argument, he put away his welding tool, and pushed his goggles up into his spiky black hair. "Whassup beauty queen?" The Latino asked the distressed girl flippantly. He ignored the ogling she, and in some cases, he got. He was used to it by this point.

Fact of the matter was, beauty queen, was not just a nickname, in regards to Piper McLean. She was a freaking goddess practically. Her dad was the world famous actor Tristan McLean, and even though her mom split as soon as she was born, according to her dad, she had been a knockout as well.

However, Piper McLean dressed to distress. She could always be found in a snowboarding jacket and combat hiking boots, her hair cut in choppy layers with two braided strands. Her jeans were always ripped and torn, and Piper was never afraid to get down and dirty, doing hard work in the workshop where Leo could usually be found.

And yet, despite the oil stains that usually covered her jeans, and everything else she did to appear unattractive, she was like a raw supermodel. Honestly, if Piper had auditioned for Transformers, she could have easily knocked Megan Fox right out of the park. At least in Leo's opinion.

Based on her looks, someone might automatically assume that she was a cheerleader, an Aphrodite Acrobat. And they'd be correct of course. However, Piper hated her position. She had joined the Acrobats because she was an exceptional gymnast, and it gave her a full ride scholarship, to a school where she truly wanted to go. However, she was starting to think the whole scholarship thing wasn't worth it, if she had to share a sorority/fraternity with those people.

For the most part, Leo didn't think she had it so bad. There were lots of good looking guys for Piper, and more than enough super fine girls for Leo. And then there was Drew. Piper complained about her constantly, because Drew was the leader of the Aphrodite Acrobats, both on the field and off. Apparently the girl was awful, turning the team into a third world dictatorship or something. All Leo cared about was the fact that she was hot, and wouldn't give Leo her number if her life depended on it. Just the way Leo liked them.

He had been begging Piper to give him the cheerleader's number for weeks to no avail. The pretty senior escaped his attentions, but that wasn't really surprising. He was just a lowly freshman after all. He was pretty popular for a freshman, but still, everyone knew that the juniors, Percy Jackson and his lovely girlfriend Annabeth Chase ruled the school.

Greek Sparta College wasn't your everday college. It was the first freeform college, and since then, other colleges had made attempts to be as successful as GSC, but only one, the Roman Gladiators College had succeeded.

But outside the school regulations, everyone knew that whoever won a championship and completed their athletic quest, became top roost at this school. Percy Jackson was legendary for winning five in the space of two years. His biggest accomplishment was the football championship last year. No one hadn't heard of him.

Leo didn't know the dude in person, but he had seen Annabeth, his girlfriend, around a few times. She was a pretty cool girl. He had expected someone like Percy to be with Drew of course, but instead he was with the smart girl from the Athena Sorority. He thought that said a lot about the athletic superhero.

He had once considered going after Annabeth Chase, after all, she met his every criteria. Gorgeous, smarter than him, dangerous, and way out of his league. However, the fact that Percy Jackson won two championships in swimming, two championships in basketball, and a football championship was enough to make even Leo Valdez back off. The only other girl capable of doing that was standing in front of him, a glare on her face.

"Sorry 'bout that beauty queen. What do you need?"

Piper rolled her kaleidoscope eyes. "It's not what I need, it's what Mr. Chiron needs." She said. "Now come on Smoky, get your fire burned butt out of here! Our Headmaster needs us!" The thought excited Piper more than it did Leo. Piper was perfect, straight A's, scholarship, and an Acrobat. There was no way she was in there for anything but good news. Leo however, had already pulled his share of pranks. A trip to Mr. Chrion's office could not bode well for the Latino.

However, he followed Piper nonetheless, listening to her chattering away about the latest campus news. Everybody knew it. Their quarterback had been struck by lightning, hospitalized, and was now missing. And apparently his girlfriend was going out of her mind with worry. Leo couldn't help but feel bad for the blonde. She had been nice when he last saw her, helping him with his Physics homework. He couldn't even imagine what she was going through. Mainly because he had never had a significant other.

Walking into Mr. Chiron's office, Leo realized there was another guy in there. Leo didn't recognize the blonde, and he was fairly sure he was a new student. He looked like the poster boy for college apparel, decked out in slacks, a collared sweater, and his blonde hair swept to the side nicely. His untied sneakers were the only indication of a personality. Based on the uncomfortable look, Leo gathered that the dude had not picked out his own clothes. Which was just sad.

Piper seemed to be at a loss for words, staring at the boy. Leo mentally groaned, praying to whatever deity that would listen, not to let Piper fall for this guy. If Leo had disastrous luck when it came to girls, than Piper was a freaking Hurricane Katrina around guys. Oh man, Leo remembered this one time, at prom, oh gods, Piper had almost cried. And for an anti-barbie Barbie, that was a mental breakdown.

"Mr. Valdez, Ms. McLean, may I introduce you to our new student? I would like for you two to show him around, along with Ms. Annabeth Chase. She should be arriving any second now. When she does, please inform her that this is Mr. Jason Grace, our new Zeus Fraternity member."

A/N: Thank you for those who read and reviewed the first chapter! I'll be trying to switch around perspectives as much as possible, while remaining in third person point of view. If there's anything from the Lost Hero that you'd particularly like to see in this fic, let me know and I'll try to work it in!
