Welcome! I am now in my new apartment. It's pretty comfortable. Like Percy's apartment. Small, simple but very very homely. It's nice.

Thanks to CandyShine for reviewing! And thank you for that nice comment. I'm always happy to read things like those.

Percy's POV (fourteen)

The new girl, Annabeth, trailed down the halls behind me. She looked like she was struggling because if the strained grunts coming from the back. Our footsteps echoed through the empty hall. I looked down at Rachel, who was snuggled in my chest, unconscious. My heart gave out a little flutter when she started hugging me even more tight. Soon I felt rushing, hot blood flowing through my face. No, Percy, I commanded myself, Stay focus on bringing her to the nurse.

"Uh, Percy?" Annabeth said in uncertainty. "I believe the nurse room is over there. You just missed it because you were too busy staring at Rachel..."

"Huh? What did you just say?" I asked, still staring at Rachel.

"Percy!" she hissed. "If you want her to feel better, take her to the nurse's office! Not just doodle a bouts doing nothing! I thought you cared."

"Well it be better if you would just shut up and let me find my way. I have my own disabilities that get me distracted okay?!"

"You're not the only one..."

I ignored her and held my head up to show her that I wasn't listening. I stop my walking, and turned around so that I could face the right direction towards the nurse's office. I hear Annabeth's groan of annoyance and I ignore her more. The silence between us felt icy.

We arrived at the nurse's office and I knock on the door while Rachel was still in my arms. After a few seconds, a young looking nurse opens the door, revealing us with to unconscious teens. The nurse had unnatural, bleached, blonde hair and has crystal blue eyes, like it seems that you'd get cold in the middle of a hot desert.

"Hi, kids! How may I help you?" she smiles sweetly at both of us, her voice somewhat annoying and false. She then lingered her eyes towards the two teens with closed eyes and looks back at us with a questioning look.

Annabeth intervenes before I can say anything. "Well, both of them accidentally bumped into each other, causing a collision and knocking them both right off their feet," Annabeth lied smoothly. I gave her a look but she glared a 'not right now' look.

The nurse smoothed her skirt before she grins at us and beckons us inside. "Now," she says in her thick eastern accent, "place then both on those beds and both of you may go away. I'll also give you some notes to give to your teacher about what happened between these two. Okay dokay! Now run along now. I don't need two children running around the room while I'm in focus!" The nurse, whose name was Wendy, gestured for us to get out of the room.

Annabeth and I share a look with each other, but just decided to listen to Wendy and head off. I placed Rachel on a white mattress and kissed her forehead. I see Annabeth dropping Clarisse carelessly like she was some sort of trash bag. When the saw my movements, she rolled her eyes and pointed towards the door. We made it out of the nurse's office and started heading down to the cafeteria.

"How did you lie like that?" I asked.

"Years and years of practice, Percy..." she dragged. We left another silence between us, and after seconds and seconds ticked by it was her turn to ask, "So you like Rachel? I could tell, so don't back down on me."

I blushed and out my chin to my chest, disappointed that someone I barely knew found out. "I take that as a yes," she says beside me. I look up and saw her smiling softly at me. Very unexpectedly, I smiled back at her. "If you want her to like you, then you'd should tell her."

I frowned and raised my right eyebrow. "Errr. I c-can't... It'a so hard to!"

Before she could say anything, we arrived at the cafeteria. Everyone was already halfway through their own snacks and things. I give a sigh. I looked back at Annabeth who had a look of sympathy on her face. "It's okay, Percy. You'll figure something out."

She turns around to where my idiotic cousin was waving. "Well," she concluded, "I'd better get going to Thalia. See ya later." She was talking like we were best friends reconciling.

"Wait!" I grabbed her wrist and twisted it so she could face me.

"What?"

"I-I'm sorry for sneering at you like that. You're the new girl and all. I should be respecting you."

She scowls. "Why dose everyone refer to me as 'new girl' and say it like I'm a deaf or lame person." She softens her voice, "It's okay, Percy. See you around." She pulled her hand from my grip and walked toward Thalia and another bunch if people.

Annabeth's POV

I grin as a trodden towards Thalia, who was golfing down all her chips and candy. "Yo Thals!" I yell. "I received an invitation to your group?" She stops eating and shoves it out of her way.

"Yes! You did!" She claps enthusiastically. "Welcome to the group! Here are some people you need to know (if you want to make friends.) This is Leo Valdez." She points towards an elf looking boy, grinning mischievously. He has greasy, curly black hair that was scooped to the back of his head.

"Looks like some pretty girl has arrived!" Leo chirps.

Thalia rolls her eyes at him. "Shut up. But anyways, this girl over here is Piper." She points her finger at a very pretty girl. I wondered why Leo said I was the pretty one. Piper has choppy brunette hair with a Native American styled headband with an eagle feather hanging out. She look like she is a Native American.

"Hi... Anniebeth?" Piper greets and waved. Her attitude and style of clothes told me she was a tomboy.

I glared at Thalia, who was looking out the window and whistling. "My name isn't Anniebeth," I say as I emphasised the Annie part. "It's Annabeth."

"Yeah whatever, Annie." Thalia randomly jumps into the conversation again. "But this guy other here is my little bittle, walking talking, brother! He's sooo caaayyutte! He's grown so much! He used to have these chubby chekeys, and I would've pinched them hard! His name is Baby Jason!" Thalia smiles at a boy who sat next to Piper.

He looked like the typical golden boy, too. Well, you should know what a golden boy is. Sky blue eyes, perfect blonde hair that always seems to be tidy. You know, that kind of golden boy. Now i understood why Leo had said that I am the pretty one. Piper is the girlfriend of Jason. I hated him already, but I wouldn't admit that right in front of his sister.

"Nice to meet you!" I say as I feigned sweetness. I remember how Percy wondered how I could act that way. I was expecting his reaction to be that, too. But no. He just smiled at me and gave me his hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Annabeth. Sorry my sister is so annoying, though..." He drags. His voice was typically deep. He probably bad all the girls running after him.

"Okay!" Thalia says loudly. "You better eat some food, Annie. Your tiny stomach will burst of no tastiness."

"Your grammar doesn't make sense," I pointed out.

"My grandma? What type of reply was that, Annie?" she answered cheekily.

I face palmed and grabbed a pack of chips on the middle of the table. It was spicy potato chips that said 'Curry Flavor' at the top. I munched happily and brought out a book from my hand bag. It was a new book by Veronica Roth called 'Divergent.' I smiled and took another bite of my chips.

This was a nice start.

It is time for gym, and now I'm surrounded by girls who wear short shorts. I know the term for shorts is for it to be short, but not for it to be up to your hips! I am talking about all those slutty girls who want attention from the boys. But me and all those kids who are the 'hang backs' just wear our shorts and shirts normally.

I slip off my shirt carefully, looking around if anyone notices the clothing I'm wearing underneath. The thing I was wearing underneath my shirt is well- slightly inappropriate. Don't blame me! My father didn't know what to buy, so he just chose randomly off the hangers.

I look around again and saw that everyone was already outside doing their stretches and exercises. I slide on my shirt and shorts (which are up to my thighs) and jog outside where everyone was. They were doing different types if exercises, so I choose my own one and start warming up.

I heard a few whistles behind me, but I ignored it. It was probably just for the prettier girls, not me. "Yo new girl! You need some water? Cause you're looking pretty hot!" someone yelled across from the other side. I roll my eyes and keep stretching.

A real whistle went off and I saw a not so tall man walking towards us. His tiny body was nothing against his aggressive attitude, though. "Listen up! Listen up! We have a new girl, cupcakes!" he yells. What type of thirty year old man says cupcakes? "That means that we have to work harder!" I raise my eyebrows. "Because she's a blondie!" I hear girls laugh and the boys working their head towards me. I scowl and show my fist at them.

"What's your name, cupcake?!" he yells so far away that I could barely hear him.

"Annabeth Chase!" I yell as loud as I can.

"ANNIEBETH CASE?!"

"No! I said Annabeth Chase!"

"Geez, aggressive much? Anniebeth Case it is." He looks down onto his paperworks and scribbles down my name. I roll my eyes.

A girl walks up to me and says, "Er... Hi. Sorry about Mr. Hedge. Just call him Gleeson and he'll like you. But anyways, welcome to Goode High. I'm Hazel Lavesque." She smiled at me.

"OKAY, CUPCAKES! FIVE LAPS AROUND THE OVAL! NOW!"

"Good luck." Hazel gives me one last smile. I gave her a strained smile back and looked at the oval. The oval was humongous. Easy.

I smirk as I started off with a jog, taking my space between the middle of the whole class. All of them seemed to be pushing hard already, trying to get as much distance as they could. I look forward and saw a tall figure jogging just like I was. This dude was some good runner, I thought, He probably has done this millions of times... But so have I.

We finish a whole lap and I edge myself forward, so that I could be in the at least the top quarter of the group. Most of the girls have dispersed from this group, at least only three girls in this group and the seven rest are boys. I see Hazel next to me and an unknown girl to the left.

I didn't realise that we have finished the third lap. I press forward even more and find myself stuck with the athletic- probably football players- boys. I pass each of every one of them, getting shocked looks from all of them. I smirk in defiance and put full speed. I have still enough energy to finish the next two laps.

We finish the fourth lap. I looked ahead of myself and saw the boy who was at the very front. How does he still have energy when he was sprinting at the very start? The picture came clearer as I ran forward. He had familiar blonde hair cropped upwards and has the most athletic body ever.

We were halfway of the fourth lap and it was man on. I grinned and waved at the boy beside me. It was Luke. He smiled at me as he ran up to me so that we were exactly equal. I give a look at him and sprinted ahead. Only a quarter of the lap to go and I could beat this stupido. I grinned mockingly at him and ran towards the end. He does the same thing.

We were two metres before the finish line and I dove in for the win. Luke rolled his eyes but held up a smile anyways.

"In yo face, bro!" I showed him my fist and started doing my victory dance.

"Yeah whatever, Anna." He smiles at me and nudges my arm.

"I AM THE WINNER! I BEAT LUKE! I BEAT LUKE!"

Coach Hedge walks towards us two and slaps my back. "That was so unexpected of you! But well done! Maybe you could join the track team! Hmmm?"

"I'll consider it sometime... Gleeson," I say to him. He chuckles. "Okay, cupcake."

I turned back to Luke and danced around him. We were still the ones here, but people started coming onto the finish line. Some people (mostly boys) gave me congratulations, while some people (the losers and sluts) just glared and pushed pass me.

I punch my fist I to the air once again and sing 'We Are The Champions.'

Another way to start the whole entire school day.
