[A.N] Alright guys. Thanks for your wait! Also, thanks for all those reviews you've submitted, plus those 7 followers.

Mr. Invincible: Hey! I have read your stories a couple times before, so I'm a fan of you. Anyway, thank you for the feedback on making it more elaborate and trying to make chapters longer. You see, I'm a busy kind of person, so I can't just write up some big chunk and then post it on. I usually want to make chapters shorter, so you don't get bored of it. :D Also, I used your name suggestions for Trojans, which will show up in this chapter.

Guest: Alright, there's three of you. And two of them left me positive reviews, thank you very much. Meanwhile, the other Guest flamed my story.

"Hey Lame story first grader."

Have you not read the summary? Can you not read? The summary CLEARLY states "Based off High School Musical," and "No flames allowed or you will be publicly ridiculed," which you clearly violated. First off, I'm not a first grader. I'm in high school, meanwhile I think that you're the one who's a first grader and who's immature to write that review. Don't like, don't read. Again, you apparently were SO ATTRACTED to the story's sexiness, that you couldn't get your paws off it. Aw. Poor you. You can't even decide if you like it or not! You read the story, or CLICKED the story when it states "based off HSM." Look at you! I bet you're so ashamed of your actions. If you reply again to the story via review, that means you are still attracted to the story.

So sorry guys. I had to publicly ridiculed as promised. Thank you to the rest of the people who gave reviews. Will do shotouts next chapter! If I don't forget. Please, go on the next chapter!

Percy POV

"Jackson! I want you to supervise the team while I'm gone!" Coach Blofis yelled.

"Copy that!" I yelled back. Turning to my team, "Alright, Trojans! We have a big championship in, how many weeks?

"3 weeks!" The team whooped.

"That's right. And that's why you need to focus. That means not getting distracted by girlfriends, and six hours practice each day!" I announced. Groans erupted from the crowd.

"I know, I know. That's very upsetting, but you know what happens after we win? You can do whatever else you want," I said, trying to motivate the already tiring teens. "And, we can start those six hours right now! Split yourselves into teams. One defensive, other offensive. We will switch roles after a while."

"Percy. Can I get a quick sip of water?" I turned around to see a almost-passing out Luke.

I sighed, "Fine."

Luke gave me a quick nod of thanks, and scampered out of the doors.

"Alright, team! You know the drill!"

Time flew when the bell rang, signaling the end of practice and the beginning of lunch.

"Great job, Trojans! I'll see you tomorrow." The only responses I received were a couple of groans and moans as they trudged back into the locker room.

I sighed, and glanced at the gym once more. This gym, was the birthplace for my love of basketball. I remembered the first time I saw a basketball game on TV with my dad. All was well until he decided to use that love against me, using it to his advantage. He practically planned my future out, everything related to basketball; to scholarships and careers. Don't get me wrong, he's a good guy… And he makes my mom happy.

But, just look at that. I don't have control over my life. I can't really do anything that I want to do. Everything is basketball, basketball! I ran through my hair with my hand in frustration.

And do things like what? Singing?

I dropped the ball that I've been holding this whole time.

As I watched it slowly bouncing away and finally hitting a wall, I thought about what that small voice said. Is that what I want to do? Sing? Preferably with a certain gray-eyed girl?

Okay, whoa there. I didn't say that last part. No.

Haha, you know you want to!

Stop taunting me, you stupid voice!

"Percy?" Startled, I saw my Coach enter the gym, and pick up the ball I was holding. As he was putting it back onto the rack, "Why are you still here? Lunch started five minutes ago."

Um. "Oh, uh, I just wanted to shoot a few more hoops before I go, you know? More practice and all… I had lots of coffee too this morning!" I started rambling, hoping he would buy it.

He raised his eyebrows in question, "You didn't have coffee today."

Oh. Crap.

"Well, before school started, I caught up with Luke, and he wanted to go to BuckStar for some coffee," Oh, he's good.

What did you expect? He is your father, anyway.

Stupid small voice.

"Um. Okay," Coach still looked unconvinced.

Stomach rumbles. Sounds bounced around the gym. Awkward.

Coach Blofis chuckled, "Looks like someone's hungry. Go ahead to lunch, I don't want to keep you starving."

I nodded, and I rain to the locker room. I glanced at my watch. About thirty minutes before lunch ends.

Remembering my promise to Annabeth to show her around during lunch and to Thalia, I mentally facepalmed. Gods, how can I be so stupid? Without further thought, I pulled on my shirt, trying to get it on as I flew into the hallways.

Annabeth POV

I followed my schedule closely. Okay, so now… I have chemistry. Where the heck is that? Wow. I should've asked if Percy had a map or something.

Instead, I saw a dark clothed sulking guy by the corner. Maybe I can ask him.

"Hey, um… I was wondering if you know where chemistry is?" I asked, trying not to be creeped out as he was sulking. As he turned around, I did a quick analyzing. Call me weird, but you can notice things right off the bat.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, with a skull embedded into the back. Chain necklace, hands in pockets, one stud in one ear, black silky hair, okay. Maybe a bad boy?

"Oh, yeah, I'll take you there if you want," Sulking teen replied.

"That'll be nice, um…"

"Nico diAngelo. You are the new student, Annabeth Chase?"

"That's me," I replied, trying to figure out how news spread like a wildfire in one day. "Pleased to meet you, Nico.

I followed Nico into the maze of hallways when he came to a stop in front of the chemistry room.

"Here's the room, Annabeth," Nico pointed to the door.

"Thanks, Nico!"

"No problem. I remembered when I was a new kid here," Nico sighed wistfully, turning around to probably sulk again to the corner.

Wow, scratch that. He's not a bad boy. He's actually a different person on the inside, huh?

I entered the chemistry classroom and went to an empty desk next to a girl with jagged black hair, and deep ice blue eyes.

She seemed to be talking with someone else about some competition. I sighed, and resumed doodling from last class.

"You know the new student who transferred here? Yeah, her name Annabeth Chase? I heard that she got top grades in her other school! Maybe we can get her to join the decathlon, yeah?" I froze. Do these people stalk me or something.

The one with the jagged hair noticed my sudden movement. She glanced at me, and then hurriedly whispered something to her classmate. After a couple nods and whispers, she turned to me.

"Hey! Um, I'm Thalia Grace, leader of the chemistry club. I haven't seen you around here, so I'm supposing you're Annabeth?"

"Oh, uh, yes I am," I stuttered. Ugh, that Seaweed Brain! He miscalculated. I was going to meet Percy Jackson's cousin earlier than lunch. But, then again, I am in chemistry…

"You are Percy Jackson's cousin?"

"Oh, yeah. That dimwit? Sadly, I am. Are you his friend?" Thalia asked me with interest.

"Yeah, we kind of met at a party," I replied.

Thalia opened her mouth to say something else, but then the chemistry teacher stomped into the room.

"Hello, class. I'm Mrs. Knight and I will be your chemistry teacher for this year. Chemistry is a challenging subject, and requires you to pay attention to each lesson. But, before I will get into that, Thalia Grace would like to introduce a very exciting opportunity!" Mrs. Knight announced, somewhat proud of her student.

Thalia stood up next to me, and strode to the front of the classroom.

"The annual school hosted scholastic academic decathlon will be open to sign ups this year," Thalia rested her blue eyes on me and turned away, "As for people who don't know what an academic decathlon is, it is a academic competition with other schools. It's basically like an athletic competition, but you know… with numbers and words, and a clock ticking."

I twitched. Maybe I can sign up for this later. I'm pretty competitive, I guess, and like they said, I do have top grades…

"We hope we will get many new members this year. I hope to see you there!" Thalia concluded happily.

As she sat back down, her eyes glanced at me from time to time. She's persistent on getting what she wants I suppose…

A piece of paper landed with a small thud on the center of my desk. I unfolded it and it bore simple words.

Would you like to join the academic decathlon?

Thalia G.

I wrote back onto the paper saying that I want to know more about the school before I join anything. I tossed the paper back to her desk. Thalia frowned. Scribbling onto the paper once more, "Would you like to have a school tour?" I hesitated. Didn't Percy say that he wanted to give me one? I threw the paper back at her.

She frowned, once again, deeply than before. Thalia then gave me a thumbs up. Hm. Okay.

As I was packing my books into my bad getting ready to leave, Thalia glanced at me one more time before she left.

I waved it off, with her other glances. As I exited the door, I realized I needed to find Percy for that tour.

Wandering through the halls, I came to a stop when Drew decided to greet me.

"Hey, Annabeth!" Drew greeted a little bit too cheerfully.

"Hi."

"So, it looks like you already know Percy Jackson?"

"I guess. He was just going to give me a school tour," I responded uneasily.

"That's weird. Percy's all like a hundred percent basketball. He rarely interacts with new kids," Drew frowned for a second.

"Nice talking to you! Bye!" Drew skipped off, leaving me confused.

What did she want from me? I shrugged and continued my journey to find my tour guide.

Drew POV

"Tami! Any new updates?" I hissed. I've sent Tami to the library to look up some background information on the new girl. Percy seemed interested in her. Ugh! Why do people want him so bad? Is it because he's all handsome and…

"Yes! I've caught Percy looking at the audition list more than three times! The second time he was together with that Annabeth," Tami responded.

I growled in anger, "Why would they want something from a musical? It's not like Percy was interested in this type of stuff before!"

Tami shrugged, "Well, I don't know!"

"There's something wrong here…" I thought. Why would basketball team captain Percy Jackson look at the sign up sheet for a Goode High School musical?

"And in Annabeth news, it seems like she's a nerd. She like got all the top grades in her school!" Tami added.

And why with a complete nerd?

[A.N] Hoped you guys like this chapter… Remember, reviews make me motivated… My writing is really bad, overall, and I was hoping that writing a FanFiction would improve it. Constructive criticism is allowed, but just no flames. I don't want you to end up in Guest's position.

Reviews make updates more frequent, and despite all the great reviews saying that I shouldn't delete this story, I might give up on it and come back later to work on another Percy Jackson story. Thank you!
