Annabeth's P.O.V.

Wow. He's cute. Woah! I did not just think that. I thought as my I felt my palms sweat. As I wiped my hands on my jeans I couldn't help but wondering why he was here and how he knew that I needed help. "Hey." He said in his melodious voice. "Hi." I squeaked. "Are you okay? You must be pretty tough to make Clarisse's nose bleed." He said. "Um, yeah. I'm good. Thanks. And I'm Annabeth." I blushed. I mentally smacked my forehead. He already knows that, you moron! I thought. He didn't seem to notice. "I'm Percy." He replied. Percy? Why does that sound familiar? I wondered. "Well, my name is actually Perseus, but my friends call me Percy." He said. Oh. Well, he's definitely not a nerd.I acknowledged. "Well, uh, maybe we can go to lunch now." He said, kind of embarrassed. "Sure, Seaweed Brain." I replied. "Where did that come from?" Percy said with a smile. "Well, your eyes are the color of the sea; and you seem pretty clueless." I said, grinning. Percy looked up and returned the gesture. "Okay, Wise Girl." He offered his hand to show me the way to the cafeteria and I took it. Percy walked me over to a lunch table with a few people sitting at it. One of them was a girl with spiky black hair, electric blue eyes, and a shirt that said Just Keep Walking and she looked like she could really mess you up if you got on her bad side. Next to her was a guy that was a Goth with a black leather jacket and man did he look scary. Sitting beside him was a really nice but vulnerable looking boy with crutches. Percy introduced them as Thalia, Nico, and Grover. Then, a girl in a head cheerleading outfit came over and kissed Percy on the cheek. She introduced herself as Rachel, and Percy's girlfriend. Right after that, she noticed me and right when Percy looked away, she threw me a disgusted look. Then she looked down and gasped. Percy and I didn't know what was wrong until we looked down at our hands that were still holding each other. Our eyes widened and we quickly let go. I blushed as I sat down at the table. I let out a quiet sigh of relief when Rachel left. "Do you know her?" Percy asked. "Uhm. Well, yeah." I replied

Flashback (Annabeth's P.O.V.)

I was walking down the hall to my first class when I was tripped. I looked up from my spot on the floor to find a girl around my age in a cheerleading outfit. She laughed deviously. "Hi Miss Loser. I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare. I own this school. Don't forget that." Rachel spat venomously.

END OF FLASHBACK

Annabeth's P.O.V.

Oh, great. I thought. My next class was chemistry but I didn't know where the class was. I decided that I was going to ask Thalia. Even though she scared me, she was a girl, so it wouldn't be awkward. Just as I prepared to approach her, the speaker blared on and an announcement was made. "Thalia Grace to the principal's office. Repeat, Thalia Grace to the principal's office." The announcer said. All eyes were on Thalia as she walked to the office. I was forced to ask Percy but he said that that was his next class to, so we walked there together. I thought I saw Rachel watching us behind a door, but when I looked again, she wasn't there. That's odd. I thought. When we got in the classroom, the teacher introduced me into the class and paired us off. "Perseus Jackson with Grover Grace with Nico Di Angelo. Annabeth Chase with Rachel Elizabeth Dare." That when I zoned out. I was so worried. It was obvious that she hated me. We all took our seats and he said that one of would write the definition for a few chemistry words while the other would conduct an experiment. Rachel said that I should do the writing because I was smart. I agreed uneasily. I wrote up all of the definitions without even having to think while Rachel conducted the experiment. When I finished, I turned to her and she said that she was done too. I looked at the green liquid in the test tube when I realized that it was supposed to be pink. That can't be good. I thought. "Sir. I conducted my own experiment." Rachel said. Everybody in the class, including the teacher stopped talking and turned to Rachel, eager to find out what it was. "My experiment was … a stink bomb!" She added one more liquid then directed the now green steam on me. I coughed and everybody else in the class did as my clothes and I absorbed the green smoke that had a really bad odor. Somebody in the class called out. "Who stinks?" Then Rachel pointed at me and grinned as everybody pointed and laughed. To get back at her, I grabbed the test tube filled with a green liquid then added another chemical and watched as the really bad perfume made it's way onto Rachel. Then I pointed at her and said "Nope. Its you." To Rachel. Everybody laughed except for one person. They took a step forward and they shot a look of disappointment at me. I suddenly felt ashamed, because right there was Percy.
