School, Annabeth, New Friends, Annabeth… Annabeth.

After I rushed home I got yelled at by my mom for about 5 seconds and then she asked me if I was ok. She told me that I would have to rush to school because as my awesome luck holds (note my sarcasm) I am going to be late on the first day of school.

I am going to skip telling you about my run to school because it was boring and nothing happened.

I arrived at school a couple of minutes before the bell rang for first period so I looked around for the office to get my schedule. On my way I heard whispers.

"Is that the new kid?"

"Damn he's hot, I hope he doesn't have a girlfriend…"

"This sucks the new guy is gonna get all the babes after him."

I stopped paying attention after a while it was boring. I found the office and the secretary handed me my schedule saying that my homeroom teacher was a guy by the name of Blowfis…

I could have sworn she said Blowfish.

Here was my schedule.

All in all not a bad schedule hopefully things here won't be too bad. I won't be able to tell anyone the truth about me though, I'll have to lie everyone I meet and it will be painful. I am so lost in thought that I don't even realize the blond girl I am about to bump into. I feel the crash and then look down to see a beautiful girl with blonde princess curls. I give her my hand a lift her up, feeling a spark, picking up all the things I caused her to drop and apologize profusely "I am so sorry I am such an idiot." She looks at me and I see the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, they are storm grey…WAIT… Stormy grey eyes… only children of Athena have those color eyes, is it possible that this girl is a demigod to.

She looks up at me in shock she must have felt the shock to and when we look into each other's eyes I swear something passes between us, a connection, something amazing though. She opens her mouth and says, "It's ok I wasn't looking where I was going either, I am Annabeth Chase by the way, and you must be new here because I have never seen you before." This goddess of a girl says. I mean I swear on the Styx that she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen with her perfect princess curls, gorgeous eyes and tan muscular yet lithe body.

I open my mouth and say, "I'm Percy Jackson nice to meet you Annabeth," she smiles at me and I swear to the gods she is more beautiful than Aphrodite herself and I have met the goddess of love herself. We stare into each other's eyes both smiling like idiots, well at least I am… We eventually both blush and look away and she asks me for my schedule. I show it to her and she says "Hey we have all of the same classes except for swimming, math and science. I am in Mr. Blowfis homeroom so I could show you there if you want?" She says looking down at the floor.

With possibly the biggest smile on my face in the history of man I reply, "I would love that but could you first help me find my locker so I can put some stuff away?" She smiles and says, "Sure, follow me"

I follow her and we chat I learn how she loves architecture and that she lives with her dad and step-mom and step-brothers. She really could be a half-blood. I put this out of my mind and I tell her about how we moved from Miami because my mom thought that it was too dangerous… What I didn't tell her was it was to dangerous because of the Sea of Monsters is right there so all them badies find me. We find my locker and make it to homeroom before the bell and when we get there a girl in punk clothes greets us by saying, "Hey Annie whose the dude your new boyfriend?" She laughs at Annabeth's and I am certain my blush and introduces herself as Thalia.

As homeroom is about to come to an end Annabeth asks me if I needed anyone to walk me to my next class. I obviously readily agreed.

When we go to the door Annabeth asked me if I wanted to meet her here after class ended. Again readily agreed.

I went into my Chem class and was paired with a dude named Grover as my lab partner. He seemed really cool and we hit it off instantly, he had crutches but that was cool I really hoped we could be friends.

The day went by and Annabeth and I talked a lot, we had a lot in common we were both juniors, both turned 16 over the summer (It was September now) and we both played sports. Eventually we got to lunch and Annabeth asked me to sit with her friends. These included Thalia, my lab partner Grover, a strange kid named Nico who looked emo, a cute girl named Katie Gardner, a pair of brothers named Connor and Travis Stoll, Thalia's brother Jason Grace, and a girl named Clarisse with her boyfriend Chris, A pretty girl named Piper, A guy who bearly looked up from his whatever it was he was making named Leo, a Chinese baby man named Frank, and a younger girl named Hazel. They seemed like a great group and I really seemed to hit it off with them.

School ended and I had a pretty great day. I realized that for the first time in a long while I had enjoyed school, I made new friends and didn't get into trouble. I left the school and heard Annabeth yell, "Percy" I looked back and saw her walking over to me. I smiled at her and said, "Hey Annabeth, you walking this way to?"

She replied, "Yeah."

I sheepishly smiled, "could you maybe show me the way to my house then I don't wanna get lost?"

She smiled and I felt great, all I wanted right then and there was to be able to make her smile every second of every day, she told me "Sure where do you live?"

"At the apartment complex on 59th."

"Really, so do I." she happily stated.

We walked towards our homes and as we walked through a deserted ally a huge Hellhound shadow traveled right in front of us. I screamed, "Annabeth stay behind me," and uncapped Riptide, the blade growing in my hand. In a short couple of moments the beast was gone but I wasn't the one who killed it, a bronze dagger clattered to the ground falling from the Hellhounds face. Annabeth looked at me and said, "We need to talk."
