A/N:
Thank you so much FansieFace for reviewing! You were the first person ever to review my stories (except for myself)!
Four reviews already? *faints*
So, Mia, how did ya like it?!

Disclaimer: I own my original characters and plot. PM me if you want to use either.
Percy's POV
"Well, it began… I was born obviously. When I was 4 my mom died. Dad blamed it on me. Dad remarried few months after. Turns out he was having an affair when my mom was alive. Then they had my half-twin brothers, Mathew and Bobby. We moved from Albany to Virginia, then Virginia to San Francisco. Now I moved back here. I do most of the care-taking in my family; dad's a scientist and stepmom is a director of sales in some company," she said quickly.
Annabeth looked like the classic California girl. Tan skin, great figure, and blond hair. It was just her eyes that were surprising. They were stormy grey, always calculating your next move.
"What about your family life?" she asked.
"Parents split when I was 4. Dad remarried to my stepmother Amphitrite. They had two kids, Triton and Tyson. Mom remarried to a guy named Gabe. Divorced, remarried to Paul Blofis, aka my ELA & reading teacher. Never moved out of the state. I stay at my mom's apartment and my dad's mansion. My mom is a writer and my dad is the CEO of Amphitrite Seas, a cruise ship company," I responded, counting off on my fingers.
"Cool beans. Do you watch YouTube?" Annabeth asked. She seemed like the curious type. Curiosity killed the cat.
"Yeah."
"Who?"
"NigaHiga, OfficialNerdCubed, danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil… some others too. You?"
"Deligracy, Vixella, OfficialNerdCubed, Flabaliki, danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil, emmablackery… You like Dan's videos?"
"Yep. Both of them's. Did you see Dan's latest Cities:Skylines video?"
"Of course! Jennifer Slopez?"
"Jennifer Slopez."
(A/N: Anyone get the reference? Dan chooses the best names for districts some times…)
BIIIING! BIIING!
On to the next class it is, then.
LINEBREAK
My past schedule was always confusing. In the past, Goode would give you a schedule for each week, so that definitely messed up my noodles.
After Greek, I had gym. Goode gave you a sport you had to do depending on what you seem like you would be best at.
I'm on the swim team, so my gym is swimming.
That's good for two reasons, I get to swim, and I get to check out the girls playing volleyball.
All the girls, except Stephanie. Or Thalia. You do not mess with them.
I walked to my locker, my thoughts being interrupted by Jason.
"So, you're partners with that new girl?" he asked.
"Yep," I said, popping the 'p', "And you're partners with PIPER!" I teased Jason. Everyone (at least in our group) knew that he had the biggest crush on Piper.
"Shut up! My sister's coming!" Jason pointed to Thalia. Ironically, they were twins. That hated each other. Most of the time.
Thalia and her friends walked by. Even though I hated them, I've got to admit that they were the prettiest girls in school. I can tell that my friends agree. Especially Jason.
The girls passed us, and stopped at their lockers.
There were 9 of them: Thalia, Piper, Hazel, Calypso, Stephanie, Mia, Alex, Skyla, and now Annabeth. (A/N: Skyla and Calypso weren't at school that day-you'll find out later) They called themselves the Demigod Warriors. Rumor has it that they're also a band.
But, it is most interesting how we got paired up in class.
We each got with the girl we thought was the most pretty.
I'll have to talk to Ms. Artemis about that.
BIIING! BIIING!
LINEBREAK
I was in the boys' locker room.
Of course, there were the school bullies teasing the freshman. I was just hanging out with Jason, Frank, Travis, and Connor. Grover had to go to the nurse because he had a headache.
"Alright, cupcakes! The cow goes moo! Get out here!" Coach Hedge yelled.
Coach was short, he was 5'3. He wore a sky blue polo and black sweat pants.
For some reason, he calls us cupcakes.
"Now, I'll call rollcall and tell you where you go- the basketball or volleyball court, or the lap pool."
He started, and I dosed off.
I imagined that I was swimming in one of my dad's infinity pools when something happened.
(A/N: This is a flashback. Remain calm and do not panic)
"Tyson! Don't drown, okay?" I said.
Tyson was only four, but he was big.
"Okay Percy! Oooh! Shiny!"
Tyson doggy-paddled to the edge of the pool.
If he fell off, it would be a long way down. After all, it was on the edge of a cliff.
"Tyson, don't go so close!" I waded to him.
"SHINY!" Tyson swam closer to the edge.
"I want it!" he went over the edge.
"AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh!"
*TOFT*
Tyson had hit the bottom.
"Percy, have you seen Tys-" my stepmother cried as what had happened entered her mind.
"Percy! You monster! Why would you kill your own brother?!"
My dad ran outside, worried about what had happened.
He looked at me in disbelief.
"You!" he pointed at me, "Are a monster!"
The sounds of sirens filled my ears.
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" I yelled, just as policemen and women invaded the large backyard.
"Hands up! Out of the pool!" one of them yelled.
They took me to the police cars that surrounded our house.
"I didn't do it!" I pleaded for them to let me go.
LINEBREAK
"Get in, cupcake!" Coach Hedge yelled at me.
I blushed when I saw that everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to get in the pool so they could start.
"Stop daydreaming, you wuss. Get in the damn pool!"
I dove in, and all my thoughts and worries disappeared. Swimming was like meditating for me.
I was totally underwater for some time, so I went up to the surface.
Some boys were checking out the volleyball girls and some of the basketball girls.
I saw Frank and Connor were going to play basketball this semester.
I also saw Piper, Hazel, and Mia playing basketball.
I everted my eyes from them, because Jason and Frank can get quite possessive, and Mia scarred me.
Not as much as Stephanie, but she does get the crap out of me.
I looked over to the volleyball court, and I saw the girls passing and setting to each other in pairs. I think they called it 'pepper' or something crazy like that.
Stephanie, the captain of the Goode volleyball team was helping out Annabeth with her setting form.
Even from here, I could hear Stephanie say, "Form your hands into the shape of the ball," and crack up.
That girl has a dirty mind.
I looked through the big, floor-to-ceiling windows out to the fields.
There was an outdoor pool that was occupied by some kids who thought they were too cool for school.
On the football field was Jason and Travis. They were two really big guys who were on the team, so that was no surprise.
I looked over to the soccer field and saw Thalia playing offense against Leo (who was playing midfield) with Juniper as Thalia's goalie and Alex as Thalia's defense.
Nico was Leo's goalie.
I swam to the bottom of the pool, and the sound of the gym faded away.
I could hold my breath for a few minutes, which is good for when I want to escape the roar of gym class.
I looked up and saw freshman wading around, seniors staring at girls, and juniors and sophomores doing whatever they do.
I heard a faded bell, signaling the end of class.
Sure enough, people were leaving.
I heard the usually goodbye from Coach, "Get out cupcakes! You know that I have another class to teach!"
LINEBREAK
I walked to the cafeteria.
I had forgotten to pack a sack lunch, so school lunch will have to do.
Of course, it was mystery-meat day.
Just my luck.
I took my glop with me to the second floor of the cafeteria.
It wasn't really a second floor, more like a balcony.
It was where the more popular groups sat.
Groups like mine (known as OPP, 'Over Powered People'), The Hunters (the slutty girls of the school) and the Demigod Warriors, were allowed to sit up here.
For the reason that only we three groups sit up here, we called it the V.I.S (very important student) Lounge.
There was even a rope and a bodyguard-principal's orders, not mine.
Anyway, I saw the guys at our usual table.
I headed over to them when, "Heey, Percy!"
It was Drew, Goode's #1 slut.
I think she's proud of the title.
"Percy-bear! Are going to ask me to the Holiday dance?" she has been bugging me since freshman year.
Why?
You'll find out.
"Uhh…." I pushed past her, sitting down at the round table.
"Code DW-1!" Grover said, looking over my shoulder.
I guess he didn't have a headache anymore.
Thalia and her group walked up the stairs. Juniper was talking to Annabeth.
"We're sort of one of the more popular groups, so we get to sit up here."
"What's with the rope?" Annabeth asked, clearly confused.
"Mr. D's orders, not ours."
"Who'd Mr. D?"
"Our principal."
They sat down at the table across from us.
It looked like all of the girls brought a lunch.
Actually, I think everyone at the V.I.S. Lounge brought a lunch.
"So, Perce, I'm guessing you're going to be swim captain again?" Travis asked.
Out of everyone in te school, I was the fastest.
That made me team captain a lot.
"Probably," I replied, poking my delicious lunch of prison food. (A/N: Anyone read Lockdown: Escape from Furnace? It's basically that food that's being served in the cafeteria)
"Yeah, there's a 99.99 % chance," Connor said.
"So, you guys going to the holiday dance?" Leo asked.
He was responded with a bunch of "I don't knows", and "I don't care about a dance."
BIIING! BIIING!
And of course I never get to eat anything because I'm talking to either myself, or my friends.
At least I didn't get to eat the glop.
I walked down the stairs.
I looked around the bottom floor of the cafeteria.
There were a lot of minor groups: the Nerds, the Jocks, the Freshmen, the Bullies.
Also, the anti-bully group, 'The Hunters'. They were in a 'Stop Bulling' club that was directed by Ms. Artemis.
So from time-to-time, we would joke around by calling them 'The Hunters of Artemis', like from the Greek myths.
"Jackson, you better get to class. Or else they'll get you," It was Annabeth. She had such an angelic voice it made me want to drop to my knees.
Of course, I didn't. That would be weird.
I didn't know what she meant, though.
I walked out anyway.
LINEBREAK
It was the last class of the day.
I didn't have any of my friends in it.
Everyone goes through general studies (math, gym, etc.) and then does a subject that they excel at.
For me, it was Marine Biology.
I don't know how, but I just love learning about the sea and marine animals.
So, Goode put this class in my schedule after they read my profile.
You make a profile of what you like and what your hobbies are before school starts. Then, you send it in via email.
Goode is cool like that. They let you take a class that you actually want to take.
Off to learn I go!
LINEBREAK
A/N: Here's more!
It was 2 pages shorter than the last chapter… I got stuck for a bit.
I find it harder to write in Percy's POV than Annabeth's since I'm a girl…
That's something I'll have to work on.
