A/N: Hey guys, I know it's been like a year since I updated, and I'm really sorry. I guess I just forgot, with homework and drama. I'll try to update at least weekly. Thanks for sticking around :). I was re-reading Fangirl, and I remembered that I had an ongoing fic that I really should update. No promises that this will be great, but we can hope.

**Chapter 3**

Annabeth's POV

I woke up a half hour late, with my roommate still nowhere to be found. Was she ever going to be here, or was this just my room now? Doesn't matter, idiot, I thought, your first class is at 9:00 and it's 8:30. You need to move!

I threw on an outfit, grabbed my books, and went to my first class. Biology, Professor Simmons, room 154. A friendly looking man in a tweed suit sat on the desk. Suddenly, he morphed into a hulking man who looked sort of like Percy.

"Annabeth," he thundered. "This is Poseidon."

"Yeah, I guessed that," I muttered.

He grinned, looking even more Percy-esque. "Oh, yeah, I forgot. Anyway," he shouted, his face turning grave, "You have to watch out for that Vanessa Hughes girl."

"Why? Is she a monster? Is she trying to steal my boyfriend?" I asked, suddenly alarmed.

"I can't tell you any more than that you need to watch out, Annabeth. Pass this along to Percy, too." He waved goodbye and disappeared back to Olympus, presumably.

The real Professor Simmons walked in about 3 minutes later, along with half of the class. They all were wearing glasses, and I felt out of place.

"Alright, class," he said, "Take your seats."

I took my seat and spent some time observing him. He looked normal enough- thinning brown hair, tweed suit (Poseidon sure pays attention to details), nice smile. However, as soon as he began to teach, I zoned out. His voice zoned on and on about the origins of biology- yawn. Finally, after what felt like a decade, I was free to go to my next class- history. I absently wandered onto the greens, and for the first time, I wondered about Percy and how he was doing here. My mind switched over to Poseidon's warning, and I felt a little anxious about this Vanessa chick.

Suddenly, someone tapped on my shoulder, and I turned around to a pair of violet eyes and a sheet of black hair.

"Hi," the stranger said, "I'm Vanessa. Vanessa Hughes." She stuck out a hand, and I took it. Her fingernails were painted sea green, making me think of Percy again.

"Annabeth," I said, trying to sound friendly.

"What's your next class? Mine's history." she said. She sure didn't sound like the girl that Poseidon made her out to be.

"Mine, too. I'm a freshman, so I don't know my way around." I replied, keeping a neutral expression.

"I'm a sophomore." she said. "I'll show you around." She took my arm and led me to a large building, where we walked into a classroom.

A/N: Well, that's chapter 3! Hope you guys liked it. I'll try to update soon. I wanted to end on a cliffhanger, but I'm not that evil- yet. Leave a nice comment or review, and inbox me if you have any questions :)
