The gods had been preparing for days, and they still weren't sure if they were ready. Aphrodite kept checking her make-up, while Athena ran over the plans.
Artemis and Apollo were arguing (surprise, surprise) and so were Zeus and Hera. Everyone else was rushing around, eating quickly as possible.

Finally Athena said, "I believe we are thoroughly prepared. Everybody remember their mortal names?" Nods all around. "Wonderful. Let's get in the cars."
*Regular car routine*

When the gods filed out of the cars, they saw the people they were looking for immediately. They were all in one big pack, and we're pretty hard to miss. Thalia was wearing her regular punk clothes, as usual, with her hair covering a part of her electric blue eyes. Nico was wearing a black BVB tee with ripped black jeans and an aviator jacket, nothing new.

Percy was wearing a bright blue shirt with white Bermuda shorts and sandals, and the outfit would work on anyone else but Perce. Jason was wearing his Imperial gold glasses (which sorta made him look out of place; Zeke also was puzzled) and jean shorts with a dark blue tee with lightning and a jacket. Annabeth had on short shorts (unexpectedly, and Mackenzie does not approve) with an olive green vest and lacey white shirt. Piper obviously tried not to draw attention to herself-she had her hair braided back in a ponytail, with regular blue jeans and a shirt with a Cherokee pattern with frills on the bottom, but of course every boy tried to flirt with her.

Frank looked bulky and out of place with a camo shirt and bulky jeans, and he looked awkward without Hazel. She was over at another school, trying to finish 8th grade. The people said she could finish early if she did well, and Hazel was working hard. Leo had on a white cotton shirt with red suspenders and jeans with dirt all over them, but somehow he still looked nice (A/N: Of course he did). Leo kept on his tool belt, but he looked slightly irritated and looked around. He turned to ask Reyna a question. The Roman praetor was wearing a bold, long sleeved purple shirt to conceal her tattoo and (woah) a white skirt with sneakers.

The others from the Camps were a bit out of place. They were clustered in another group-Travis, Connor, Grover, Juniper (who was regular skinned in the mist), Will, Katie, Rachel, and Clarisse. Travis and Connor looked so alike, only Pan could tell who was who-they wore their Camp Half-Blood shirts (veiled from the mortals) and black shorts. They tried to run around and pickpocket anyone they found. Grover was wearing a "Save the Whales!" shirt and jeans and sneakers to hide his goat feet. Except for the part that his jeans were dark brown and he had a baseball cap on, he didn't stand out much. Juniper had on a long, earthly green dress with brown swirls and silky sleeves, with high heels on. This brought her up to the height where she could kiss Grover on the mouth. Will was wearing a dark yellow shirt and football shorts, which didn't go together…

Katie had on a short silver dress with a green vest, and was trying to get close to Travis. It was until Connor pick pocketed her that she stopped trying to get to him. Rachel had on a pink beanie and an artist shirt with so many paint splatters, nobody knew what the original color was. Her jeans were originally green, they could tell, but it also had paint splatters. Her hair was back in a ponytail to reveal her freckles. She was quiet attractive, but of course, the Oracle would not allow her to date. Clarisse had a red shirt on that said "Don't Even Try" with an army jacket on. She had tight fitting blue jeans on with a loose belt and boots on, which Chuck sort of found hot (uh-oh).
*Going over to the demigods*

Leo marched up to Reyna, irritated. He asked, "Where is Calypso? I thought she was coming with you, and she's not here yet." Reyna shrugged.

"Seems like you would have better track of her, since you went back to her island and freed her." Leo groaned and pushed his palms into his forehead. Annabeth was trying to fix Percy up.

"Watch the hair, Wise Girl! Ow, ever think of cutting your nails…what's the big idea anyways?" Annabeth stated, "First impressions are the best impressions-and you should know. You need to look your best for the first day of school." Nico came over and rolled his eyes. "You're starting to sound like…Bianca. Or Mrs. Jackson. Shut up and let's get in already."

"He is right you know," Frank agreed. "We are going to be late, and you're just being fussy, Annie." Everybody tried to call her "Annie", even though she hated it. Annabeth gave him the death glare, but moved on. Jason and Piper got tapped on the shoulder by somebody. They turned around to see a girl with blondish-brownish hair and bluish green eyes, smiling warmly at them. Jason's eyes nearly popped out of its sockets and Piper stared in simple wonder.

"Excuse me, I'm Amberly. Do you have any idea where the school schedules are?" All Jason could say was:

"Uh…" Piper slapped him on the arm and smiled at her. "Um, I'm Piper. The school schedules should be somewhere in the office." She stared down Amberly, silently willing her to leave. Aphrodite in disguise didn't understand this rude gesture, and she blinked. "Where is the office?" Piper smiled, trying to be nice, and said, "Oh, you're one of those new students, right…? A group of 12 girls and boys recently came in, you must be one. The office is down the hall; take a left, then another left." When Amberly went to tell this to Ares (Louis), Piper snapped her finger in front of Jason's face.

"What was that?" Jason blushed and said, "I don't know-I looked at her and sort of went into a da-Reyna, back off…" Reyna was casually eavesdropping. She turned away and said, "Hey, where'd Leo go?"

Leo was storming in the direction of Hephaestus and Athena (Silver and Mackenzie), slightly angry at Reyna's comment and refusal and Calypso's absence. They'd had a bit of a fight after Percy's birthday, so they'd broken up (even though they weren't even technically a couple, they'd kissed twice, so everybody just assumed they were) so Leo would have still been angry anyways. He walked straight into Silver, not paying attention to where he was going.

Silver happened to be fiddling with a piece of paper, making a paper airplane. When they collided, the paper airplane flew away, to the top of the school building. When Leo turned and saw the airplane going up, he followed its flight up to the top of the building. He'd done the exact same thing once in 5th grade, except he got in trouble because they never got it down…
Silver looked down at the boy who was technically his son, and mumbled, "Um, sorry…?" he said it as a question, because he was still staring into space. Leo got back to his senses. "I'm the one who bumped into you. It's my fault." He pointed to the airplane, which was now standing upright on top of the building. "How'd you do that?"

Mackenzie, being a literal "know-it-all," started explaining in full detail (trajectory, shaping of the wings, human interference, etc.). Silver, Leo and Mackenzie got into a deep conversation about airplanes while going to pick up school schedules.

Frank shrugged. "Dunno," he said. "Last I heard, he was saying something about sticking his hammer up Reyna's a-"

"Probably just angry over Calypso again," Percy said. He remembered the tiny fight they'd had after Hephaestus ran away angrily after Calypso. She may have had an injury, because she wasn't there for the rest of Percy's birthday.

Thalia said, "Whatever it is, we don't need to waste any time on him. Annabeth will die if she's late to algebra." Said daughter of Athena was freaking out and running through the door, asking everybody where Algebra was. Nico came over and said, "I saw him talking to two of those new students who came in…those guys look lost." He pointed to Hades (Earnest) and Demeter (Heather) and Hermes (Pandareos).

"Go help them, di Angelo," Reyna said, walking by them. She went over to direct Zeus (Zeke) and Hera (Jennifer) to the first class. Nico sighed. "I guess the dummy who suggests it has to do it."

He unenthusiastically walked over to the two, and then shifted his feet. He awkwardly said, "Um, are you guys new? I mean, you don't look new. You haven't gone to class, it starts in 2 minutes. Uh, there was a group of new kids, you look….anyways, my point is, do you need directions?" Nico mentally face palmed himself. Everyone had been encouraging him to talk more, but he never did. Now he had a chance, and he was totally blowing it.

Earnest didn't notice, because he did this often too. "Uh…I guess we do. Our friends just deserted us; we don't know where they went." Nico got slightly angry at this, and then pointed at the twins (Chuck and Caine). "Are those two of your friends?" Heather nodded. "Chuck and Caine. Brother and sister. We're Heather and Earnest." Nico looked over at Earnest, who had a grim look on his face and reminded Nico of himself.

Earnest sounds like a happy name. He doesn't look anything like that.

Nico waved his hand in a Come here motion, and they followed him quickly to Algebra. Chuck kept checking out all the ladies, who happily ignored him.

Everyone else decided the others weren't going to come back for awhile, and headed over to their first class.

They all have the same class schedules, just to tell you. It gets better once we keep going…If you have any suggestions or questions, please put them in the comments.
