Hi Reader people and random people who misclicked this story. First off i would like to thank you for all the reviews favorites and follow you gave me. Also special thanks to Olympus97 for the suggestion. I tried to make this easier to read. If you like it or hate please let me know. So yah. This chapter was interesting to write. Not as fun to right as the others but hey all chapters aren't created equal. Prepare for what you been waiting for. Who is that blond kid? And you will never know unless you actually read this so I shall shut up and stop rambling.

Leo's Pov

My eye furrowed in concern. Where did he go? He has to be around here some where. Damn that black haired kid. I looked around the low wall and trees a second time. A bit of black hair was sticking out from behind a tree. There he is!

"Nico!" I shouted. He looked up and judging by his expression he wasn't over joyed to see me. He beckoned me over with his hands.

I walked over to him. Why he's so depressed looking all the time? Then it hit me. Oh wait. He was depressed all the time.

"You ever think about wearing yellow?" I asked with a slight smile. He just looked at me. Ok I suppose that was a stupid question.

"So what did you think of the new girl in English today?" Nico asked.

She was pretty, but obviously I wouldn't say that. "She seemed interesting, and pretty smart by the way she just answered every question the teacher asked her." I frowned for a moment. She seemed a bit startled by the guy who practically ran her over. Who could blame her? First day and practically getting tackled by some random person.

"Who was the guy who ran out of English class like he was running from a lion? You know,The black haired one." I asked. Nico actually looked up directly at my eyes. His face was contorted and had some kind of emotion on it.

"That Was the last person who had seen my sister before her death. Her boy friend." I stared. All thoughts and jokes just left my head. Oh...

"What was his name?" I whispered. Idiot! I shouldn't have ask that.

Nico looked like he would rather be drinking gasoline then speak, yet he spoke two words. "Perseus Jackson."

My head flashed back to English class. The blond haired kid who ran after him. "Wait!" He had shouted. "Percy!" But who was he?

"I am not really surprised you don't know him. He keeps to himself pretty much." Nico said his mouth set in permanent frown.

"But who was the kid who chased after him?" I decided to ask after remembering how to speak. Nico blinked in surprise.

"You don't remember him? His name is-"

"Nico!" Luke interrupted walking toward Nico.

"We have for to stop changing where we meet at lunch. It takes forever to find the group." Luke said.

Sitting on the low wall he asked. "You gonna try out for the soccer team Nico?" Nico's face darkened considerably.

"You know I haven't even touched a soccer ball since my sister..."

Luke immediately looked apologetic. "Sorry..."

His face almost had a smirk. I blinked. There was no trace of any smirk or smile. My eyes were playing tricks on me.

"Travis! I am going to kill you!" Rachel shreaked chasing Travis. The rest of our little group followed in tow heading to our spot.

Our merry band of misfits included Luke, Rachel, Nico, Me, the Stoll Brothers, Will, Silena, and Clarisse & Chris.

Clarisse and Chris has just recently got together as a couple.

What Chris sees in clarisse...? After all she is kind of viscous... and mean, and cruel. Why does he like her at all again?

"I swear Connor If you don't give me back my makeup bag I will tear you to shreds." Connor gulped and toss the bag to Travis. Travis not expecting this, got hit square in the face by the large bag full of makeup. Travis fell backwards in surprise and make-up spilled out of the bag.

I laughed. "Since when does RED scare you?"

Rachel picked up her bag, Angrily stuffed makeup back into it, and promptly sat down next to Luke. "Dude, the last person who messed with her got expelled for a week." Ah. Her mom's a dean. I suppose she must be getting special treatment.

"What about you Chris? Are you gonna do any sports?" Luke asked.

Chris sighed. "I got hit in the head and had a concussion. The doctors don't want me to be playing sports." He explained. "Oh, well theirs always next year right?" Luke said with a look of pity on his face.

There it is again! That slight smile inside his expression. As quickly as I had seen it, it was gone as if it was never there. I looked around to see if anyone else noticed it, but no one else seemed to see it.

I heard quiet sobbing to my right and turned to see Silena crying with clarisse comforting her. "Don't worry Silena. Beckendorf is gonna be fine."

Ah. That explains it. Charles Beckendorf was silena's boyfriend who had gone missing a week ago. In fact the entire cruise ship, the princess andromeda, went missing as well. Clarrise and Chris has been trying to comfort Silena ever since.

Will solace was being unusually quiet in an almost scary way. As if he was deciding whether to tell us it was the end of the world. Not exactly the optimistic person he always is...

There was a long moment of silence in the group apart from Silena and Clarisse as people began to eat their food.

Luke sat up suddenly sat up straight. "Hey, I almost forgot. You know the two girls new to our school? I asked them to sit with us. As a matter of fact their they are now." He said.

I looked behind me and the low wall to see, sure enough the two new girls walking towards us. The smart-pretty blond girl was walking next to the black haired chick dressed in all black. I really couldn't help but stare at them.

My biggest wonder with girls is why are all the girls obsessed with makeup? The wierd thing was that the blond haired girl didn't have make up on.

With a jolt I woke back to reality I saw Luke staring at them as I had been. However his stare seemed to have a strange hungry, anger to it. Which had to have just been my head. Luke has Rachel as annoying and bitchy as she is. Rachel looked at Luke and noticed his staring. I stifled a laugh as she kicked him in the shin. I get the feeling Rachel will be hating the new kids already.

"Hello!" The blond girl said as she walked up to the little group with the black haired girl in tow.

Luke rubbed his shin and spoke. "Hey guys this is Annabeth and Thalia." The group began to introduce themselves.

"I'm Nico, the couple over there is Clarisse and Chris. The girls who's crying is Silena. Her boy friend went missing recently." Nico said.

Since when does he introduce himself?

"My names Will your friendly neighborhood doctor in training. You've already met Luke." Will said.

I smirked. "Hi I am Leo your friendly neighborhood drug lord. If you need anything le-".

Will interrupted. "Leo!"

I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, if you haven't guessed I am not actually a drug lord. I'm just plain awesome." The black haired girl, Thalia, rolled her eyes at me. Annabeth just gave me a half smile.

"And that's the group." Luke finished.

"So how are you liking The school so far?" Nico interjected. My eye flashed back to Nico who for the first time in a while was actually being active and did not look depressed. He was also staring right at Thalia. Damn, I guess I will have to settle for Annabeth instead. Still it is quite interesting change in character for Nico.

"It's interesting enough. All the teacher's are nice enough I guess." Thalia said.
As if. I laughed. "Then you haven't met ." I said smiling.

Thalia looked confused and Annabeth had a look of horror on her face. "You don't mean the math teacher do you?"

So she knew her then? "Yep she got the job here at the end of last year." Luke said.

"She used to be a receptionist at my old school. She hates me. A lot." Annabeth explained.

There was a long moment of depressing silence as people ate their lunch when Thalia spoke up.

"Hey Nico, you were in our English class first period right?" He nodded. "Who was that kid who practically tackled Annabeth?" She asked.

I blinked. Oh... I glanced at Nico. He seemed to go rigid again. I quickly spoke for him "His names Perseus Jackson. Doesn't talk to anyone and keeps to himself. That and he hates just about every girl he sees."

Thalia's eyes widened at the last part. "I swear when I see that asshole I am gonna punch him." Thalia muttered.

"If I were you I would avoid him. He's a stupid nobody, not worth your time. Trust me." Luke said coldy.

Will looked up almost like he wanted to say something, but didn't.

I looked at Annabeth again wanting to say something funny and realized she had been looking at Luke this whole time. Something which not gone unnoticed by Rachel who was glaring at Annabeth.

Fantastic. Why can I never seem to get a date? I finished my sandwich as the bell to go our classes rang.

"I'll see you guys later!" Luke said as he walked off with Annabeth and Thalia following. Rachel jumped up and fell down when she tripped with her high heels breaking one. I burst out laughing. God she's been so ridiculous ever since she changed.
"Shut it Valdez!" She got up and quickly moved after them as fast as one can with a broken high heel. "Wait up!" She shouted.

I grabbed my stuff and was about to walk off when Will stopped me. He looks kind of uncertain... "Hey, I thought you should know that perc- erm perseus came to the nurses office." Will explained.

Ah that would explain why he was so quiet. "No one deserves to be abandoned with an injury so I helped him. The strange thing is that he said he tripped on a glass bottle, and yet it wasn't the kinda cut tripping on a bottle would make." Huh. Why would he lie? Or perhaps a better question would be how did he get the cut.

"So that's why you didn't talk very much today." Will nodded.

"What exactly do you expect me to do knowing this? I mean I barely even know the guy and Luke seems to hate him." I said.

Will looked at me. "Perhaps but you have classes with his old friend Jason." He explained. Jason? Who... My thoughts flashed back to The past. "Percy! Wait!" The blond kid. the same one who I had known and who moved away 4 years ago. The only kid who knew what happened with my mom and was the one who encouraged me to do metalworking with fire.

Jason Grace was back?

DUN DUN DUN! ( Eh that doesn't really suite it i suppose.)
Little teaser: the next chapter starts off with a bit of percys pov and then switchs for the rest of the chapter.
