A/N: I know I write short chapters but this is the longest... so far.

This is dedicated to all my readers who wants longer chapters... Enjoy!

I heard that!

Katie balled her fists, getting ready to punch us -or maybe other ways to surely hurt us (just like what, she has done the past few years). But instead, she started taking deep breaths and started, muttering something to herself.

"Congratulations Stoll brothers. four out of seven voices in my head tells me to let you go; alive." she said in a fake cheery voice.

"She has voices in her head, now?" Conner muttered;in a not-so low voice.

"That is it!" Katie growled. Her face started to get red.

After that... let's just say, that the two of us ended in the nurse's office.

Piper

After I got my timetable from the office, I headed straight towards room eighteen, which is Homeroom.

Better early than, late. I thought.

I know what you're thinking: the great Piper McLean doesn't want to be late? I'm not really sure with the great part, but I've been on several schools who gives you detention just because you got late, even if it's their first day and I certainly wouldn't want to get in trouble -especially on my 'first' day. Right?

I decided to sit at the farthest corner of the room hoping that no one will notice me. Unfortunately, a guy with a blinding smile -literally with dark hair cut superman style sat next to me.

"Is this seat empty?" he asked with that, blinding smile of his.

"Yes, and this one will be too if you don't go away." I told him

"Feisty. I like that." he said winking at me.

"I warned you." I mumbled, moving to another seat.

The students started entering the room. All of the seats are already occupied -well, not all: The two seats beside me were vacant.

Thank gods I thought. But, I guess today wasn't really my lucky day. The teacher entered as well as two students, before the bell could even ring.

"You two boys, sit there." the teacher pointed at the two seats beside me. "Beside ms.-"

"McLean." I answered.

The two guys started walking towards me, that's just when I realized the other guy was actually Jason (sheesh, do I have an eye problem?).

"Hey, Piper." Jason said while sitting down.

"Hi." I said with a small smile.

"Good morning everyone!" the teacher said brightly. "My name is Mrs. Kings. I will be your homeroom teacher for this year."

"My twenty bucks, please." the other guy with Jason earlier, said in triumph.

Jason handed him twenty bucks.

"Piper, meet Leo."

"Oh, hey." Leo said.

"Hi."

All my classes went just like on what was written on my timetable. First, was homeroom; second, Chemistry; third, Algebra; fourth, History –then so on, and so forth. Krriiingg the bell rang. It was finally, lunchtime.

I started heading to the cafeteria when I was blocked by a group of girls, with matching frilly pink tops and jeans. It was the popular clique, to be exact.

"Hi! You must be new girl -er I mean Piper!" she said with a sweet voice but, her eyes were a different matter.

"Yes. Why?" I said hesitantly.

"Nothing. I'm Isabel. By the way, does your hair always look like a dead badger?" she asked, with an innocent face.

I could hear some of her friends –no not friends. How 'bout evil minions? That will do. Where was I? oh right… I could hear some of her evil minions snickering on the back.

"Does your face always, looks like an owl?" I shot back. Isabel's face turned red from anger. I can't help but to stifle a laugh.

"Why! you little bi-" Isabel began to say, but was interrupted with someone saying: "Are they bothering you?" I turned around and saw a very pretty girl with black hair, blue eyes and wearing a very light makeup. Then, I turned to look at Isabelle and her evil minions –see that sounds good does it? wide-eyed and staring at the girl.

"N-nothing." Isabel stuttered and began to walk away.

"I see you've meet Isabel." The pretty girl said.

I nodded.

"I'm Silena Beuregard. And you are?" she asked, bringing out her hand for me to shake.

"I'm Piper." I said, shaking her hand. Silena gave me a look for me to state my full name. "McLean."

"McLean huh?" she began to say.

"It's common name." I snapped.

She stared at me for a few seconds.

"You're pretty lucky, you didn't get to meet Drew." she told me.

"Drew?"

"She's just like Isabel; only ten times worse," Silena explained. "also the most popular girl in school." she added.

"Who's the second popular?" I asked.

"Wanna sit with us during lunch?" Silena offered -completely, changing the topic.

"Us?"

"Don't worry just a few friends." Silena assured.

"I thought you said few?" I whispered to Silena, as we were getting closer to the table.

"But they are few!" she protested.

"Few? there's like, seven of them!"

"Actually, there's nine of them." she corrected. "So what? the more the merrier right? plus, I can't have to many friends."

Silena introduced me to her friends : Katie Gardner,Conner and Travis Stoll (who both have a black-eye),Nico di Angelo (he likes color black), Percy Jackson -the captain of the school's swimming team; Thalia Grace -Jason's older sister; Leo Valdez and Jason Grace -whom I just met earlier.

I sat next to Silena after, her introduction.

"Hey Percy! isn't that Annabeth?" Nico told Percy as were eating lunch.

Before Percy could answer Nico, he started waving to get Annabeth's attention. She was standing at the doorway with a tray of food, looking around.

"Nico what are you doing?" Percy tried to lower Nico's hand but apparently, failing.

Annabeth

Where can I sit? hmm...

I caught a glimpse of Nico's hand so, I started heading towards their table.

"Thanks." I muttered to Nico.

"Ah, you must be Annabeth." one of Percy's friends, said as she shake my hand.

I nodded.

"I'm Silena Beauregard." she introduced herself. "Percy told me about you."

"No, I did not!" Percy chimed in. But Silena just pretended like he didn't hear him.

"Hey wait up!" Percy said, panting.

"You look, like you had just ran a marathon." I stated.

"Not really a marathon. Just, the school's hallway."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"What do you want, seaweed brain?" I asked.

"You have greek mythology for your next class, right?" he pointed out. "And do not call me seaweed brain okay, wise girl."

I shrugged.

"How was school?" my step-mom asked as, I entered, the smell of freshly baked cookies flooded the house.

"It was... okay." I answered, taking a cookie from the tray.

"Oh. Your dad told me he might get home late tonight."

"Why?"

"He said they're very busy."

I took another cookie from the tray before going upstairs, to my room.

I lay on my bed, silence filled my room. I reached for the nearest book I could find: a book about architecture, of course.

Maybe, just maybe, the next day wouldn't be so bad. I thought before reading the book then, slowly drifted to sleep...

A/N: Okay, this is the longest chapter I have written... yet.

I'm ACCEPTING PM's for suggestions or ideas for my story and CHECK OUT MY POLL!
