Jason POV:

I saw Leo get up and make his way over to... wait, who was that?

Leo said something I couldn't hear, then cracked a smile. He swiveled around and made a somewhat frantic looking hand gesture to me and Pipes, who was looking on curiously. I assumed he wanted us to come over, so we sadly got up from our semi-comfortable position by the wall.

"Guys, this is Percy Jackson, he's new." Leo started out. Wow, I didn't know that Captain Obvious.

Leo then swiveled around to new kid "Percy, these are my friends, Piper and Jason."

Percy gave me a lopsided smile, his crooked front teeth showing. He had messy black hair, friendly sea-green eyes staring back at me. He had this demeanor that made people instantly want to trust him, which was probably the reason I did what I did. "Do you want to come and sit with us?" I questioned him.

His smile became instantly brighter. "Sure!"

Percy basically hung out with us the rest of the day, until they assigned dorms. The teachers said that we could have a 'free day,' and that we would 'start training' tomorrow. I didn't know what that meant, but Percy did. He shook his head muttering things under his breath like; 'stupid goat' and 'war crazed'.

Piper, Leo, Percy and I all settle down in a patch of dying grass in a nearby field. Leo made a joke about how short Coach Hedge was, and we all started to crack up. I took this as an opportunity to get to know Percy better.

"So," I said, "How did you end up here?"

For a second he looked confused, like he was thinking, "Uh, well," he smiled sheepishly, "I accidentally blew up my band room."

If Leo had coke, I was pretty sure he would have spit it out then do a double-take. He looked at Percy with newfound respect and admiration. Piper looked like she was about to laugh, and even I was amused by his antics.

"How did you manage that?" Leo exclaimed.

"Well, I didn't do it," Percy tried to explain to us, "I was just there at the wrong time. The vents broke down and exploded."

Leo nodded his head, but I was still having trouble believing that it was an accident. I was pretty sure Percy knew more about it then he was letting on.

"So how did you guys end up here?" he asked, trying to change the topic.

"I ran away six times," Leo piped up. He had on one of his famous manic grins, like he was about to shove ants in your pants. And to tell the truth, I was a little nervous, especially when he gets ideas.

"Piper stole a BMW—"

Piper looked pretty offended when he said that she stole the BMW. She keeps trying to convince us that she talked the dealer into lending it to her. Leo thought that she was lying, but I wasn't so sure. Piper really did have a way with words.

"And Jason's orphanage didn't want him so they kicked him out."* Leo finished. Percy looked mildly impressed; he smiled at everyone before frowning. He narrowed his eyes in my direction, and I turned around to see Dylan, the school jock.

Dylan was the kind of kid that thinks he is better than everyone. He had a sparkly white smile, and he wore a Dallas Cowboy's jersey. He had on jeans that had many holes in them. His eyes themselves seemed to be miniature storm clouds. What's even worse is that he always tries to hit in Pipes.

He flashed Piper a smile that she ignored. I curled my hands into fists, and glared at him. Dylan saw the movement and smirked. His gaze settled upon Leo and he made a disgusted face, like he was thinking of something rotten and smelly. Leo narrowed his eyes, but didn't say anything.

Finally Dylan's gaze landed and Percy, who had in his hands, a pen. Dylan's eyes widened and he stumbled back, nearly falling over. I bit back a laugh, and saw Leo and Piper doing the same thing.

"You're-you're," Dylan sputtered.

Percy grinned, "Percy Jackson."

Dylan narrowed his eyes and brushed himself off; his eyes seemed to show a little fear. I glanced at Percy who was still fiddling with a pen; he seemed to be ignoring Dylan completely.

"You're not supposed to be here." Dylan hissed at him.

Percy shrugged like he didn't have a care in the world, "Well, too bad, because I am."

Dylan growled, before he turned away and stalked off. Percy watched him go before turning to me, "Who is that guy?"

I tilted my head to the side, "You mean that you don't know him?" That seemed a little weird, since the guy almost peed his pants when he saw Percy.

Percy shrugged and shook his head, "I have no clue who he is."

"Huh," I said, still trying to figure out if he is telling the truth or not. "That's Dylan, he's basically the school jock, bully, whatever."

Percy smiled, and nodded. He looked at the watch he had on and stood up. "Come on, guys." He urged, "It's time to go get our dorm rooms."

Percy followed us as we lead him to the gym; he kept glancing behind his back, as if he expected us to be ambushed. He was acting a little more jumpy since the whole Dylan incident. I didn't think much of it, since I would have been a little jumpy out if a person that I didn't know, knew me.

I picked up my dorm room, and looked at the number imprinted at the bottom, D104. I looked at my friends, "So, what room number?"

"D110." Percy said.

Leo grinned before answering, "D110." Percy and Leo exchanged a glance then hi-fived each-other.

Piper sighed, and I could only imagine what she was thinking; boys. "I got room D113."

We all walked down the d hallway, looking for our dorms. I found my dorm first, it's door was open, so that meant that my roommate was already inside. I waved goodbye to Piper, Leo and Percy before I lugged my suitcase inside the room.

There were three beds; which was weird since there was usually only two per dorm. All the lights were on, and I saw two people standing in the room. Two tall boys were fighting, one of them was on the bed, and was holding something that the other wanted.

They both were tall, with curly brown hair, and elfish features. They reminded me of Leo in a way. They also had blue eyes and the same smile. I thought that they were probably related, if not brothers.

The one standing on the bed saw me first then poked the guy on the ground to alert him of my presence. The guy on the bed jumped off and headed towards me, and the other one followed. When they were on the ground, I noticed that one was slightly taller than the other. The taller one stuck out his hand, and I took it.

"Jason," I said as he pumped my hand up and down.

"Hi there, Jason," The guy said, "I'm—"

He was interrupted by a gasp at the door; I looked over my shoulder to see Percy Jackson looking at the two boys in my room with a mixed expression of surprise and suspicion. "Travis? Connor?"

* I had to make SOMETHING up! If you have any different ideas, please tell me!
