Hello! So, I haven't updated in a while, and I feel bad, but I have valid reasons. I found out I got the part I wanted in my school play (Yay!) and I have been rehearsing like crazy. But you guys don't care. Anyways.

I would really appreciate it if you guys would review. Literally, it makes my day. So, comment your favorite quote or line, comment if you din't like something (Although I would appreciate if you did so politely), comment what you think will happen, comment a song you would like me to use... the options are endless.

Also:

hii: I actually don't live in Peru, I live in California.

The Wattpad User: This story will in fact have Wyssa in it. *Silently squealing* Sorry to any Solangelo shippers

Thanks for reading!

(I own nothing. Although I wish I did.)

3rd Person POV

Nyssa hesitated as she gathered up her books in her arm, getting ready to go to Latin. But she shrugged, turning towards Tori and tapping her shoulder

Thalia looked at the brunette beside her. She had a smile on her face, pushing full attention towards her high cheekbones and slender Latina features. "Did you need some help getting around?"

She was about to refuse, before she realized, duh, she was supposed to be new here. She grinned, nodding. "Yeah, thanks. Lemme grab my friends."

"I found us a tour guide," Thalia said, approaching the two girls. They looked up, seeing Nyssa standing behind her.

She waved, feeling slightly uncertain. These girls were gorgeous, especially compared to her and her ratty clothes. Tori had seemed fairly nice so far, but, who knew. She wasn't one to judge, although she defiantly had her guard up.

The two girls smiled. Annabeth stuck out her hand as her bag fell into place against her side. "Hi, my names Adriana."

"And, I'm Paisley." Nyssa glanced over and saw the (fake) blonde carelessly stuffing her papers into her bag. She let a small smile grace her face. A messy girl, just like her.

"So, uh, we have five minutes until next period, what do you guys have first?" Nyssa said, checking her watch. She looked at it fondly. It had been her mother's, forged by her own hands before she died.

"Uh…" Annabeth trailed off, checking her schedule which had been neatly placed inside one of her many folders. "Advanced Algebra with Mrs. Hebe."

"I've got Botany with Ms. Demeter," Piper spoke up, finally straightening up as the last paper was put in her bag.

"And I have Biology with Mr. Apollo," Thalia said, stuffing her now crumpled schedule into the front pocket of her bag.

"Oh," Nyssa said. "He's also the Drama director and the Music teacher. I'd say about half the girl's population in the school swoons over him.

"Are you included in that percentage?" Piper asked as they left the classroom.

"No!" Nyssa exclaimed.

Piper smiled. "Then who do you swoon over?" She smiled innocently as the brunette stared back at her, a rosy hue brushing her tanned cheeks.

"Nobody," she said quickly.

Thalia rolled her eyes. "You may as well tell her. Paisley's pretty much a blood hound when it comes to sniffing out love."

"Hey," Piper interjected. "I was right when I knew you liked-"

"Okay! Moving on!" Thalia protested.

"So," Annabeth spoke up, shifting her books once again. "Tell us about yourself."

Nyssa bit her lip, debating what to reveal. It's fair to say she's had her share of backstabbers. "Well… My full name is Nyssa Christina Valentine. I have six brothers, although we're not all technically related. My family runs a mechanics repair shop."

Thalia let out a low whistle. "Six brothers, I could barely deal with one-"

She abruptly cut herself off, realizing what she said. In the moment's silence that followed, Annabeth animatedly pointed to the classroom door. "Oh, look!" she exclaimed. "Here I am, room 235."

"Uh, yeah. The bell's gonna ring any second. Tori, your right down the hall to the right, Room 241. Piper, you should come with me, Ms. Demeter's room is right next to Ms. Lupa's."

The girls nodded at each other and parted ways, Piper following Nyssa. Once they reached the classroom, Piper said a polite "Thanks!" and let Nyssa continue to her next class.

XxX

By the time lunch came around, the girls had been in their fair share of classes, Annabeth having had the pleasure to meet Katie and Lou Ellen, although Thalia only met the latter of the two. Piper had unsuccessfully attempted to pry Nyssa's crush out of her while Thalia laughed and Annabeth read. On the way to the cafeteria, Nyssa and Thalia were fawning over All Time Low's new video.

Nyssa was happy. She was beginning to think she had found so real friends. Tori, Adriana, and Paisley were totally accepting, showing no judgment whatsoever. And of course, a storm just had to blow through and rain on her parade. In her a case, a very make-up covered cloud who created a miracle by not tripping over in their towers they called heels.

"Hi," a sickly sweet voice called to the four girls, although it was clear they wanted nothing to do with Nyssa.

The trio of 'new' girls tensed up, hearts pounding in their ears. They turned around to see another trio of girls. And their faces just looked like they were begging to be attacked. Piper wanted to scowl at her so-called-sister and shred her 'oh so expensive' designer clothes. Annabeth was internally look at her old best friend with pity filled eyes, while on the outside she had a smile on so fake it made Barbie look real. And Thalia had to put an unmistakable strength into play to keep from glaring daggers at Nico's girlfriend.

"Uh, hi…?" Annabeth questioned in a seemingly innocent voice.

"Hi," Khione said, walking forward. "My name's Khione. You must be the new girls everyone's talking about. We just thought we should introduce ourselves." She finished with a smile that may of seemed sweet to anyone else, was sharp enough to cut steel. This bitch was a cold-hearted demon in disguise.

Piper internally narrowed her eyes, knowing there was some kind of catch. "Well, wasn't that nice of you," she chirped happily. Oh, how it pained her to say those words.

"We also wanted to invite you to sit with us. You wouldn't want to start hanging out with the wrong sort of people." Drew cast a disgusted glance at Nyssa before looking away, as if the girl was worth her time. Nyssa responded with a glare, but it wavered. Her first chance at friends in this hell hole and they were going to be taken away by the 'Barbies.' Great.

Before Thalia could open her mouth to reject them, Annabeth spoke (although even she wanted to see her response). "We would love to."

Piper and Thalia muttered a confused, "We would?" before Annabeth elbowed them.

Rachel grinned and it killed Annabeth to see what the other two girls had done to her, changing her into a monster. "Except there's just one problem."

Khione's smirk faltered and something dark flashed through her eyes. "And that is?" her voice was tighter, icy even.

"We…" Annabeth paused, as if she was searching for the right words. "…don't like you."

Thalia snorted, quickly catching herself and watched as Piper covered her wicked smile with her hands. Nyssa stood behind them, a shocked yet amused look masking her face.

"Excuse me?" Drew spoke, struggling to keep her cool expression.

"There's just something…" Piper started.

"You just don't seem likable," Thalia finished.

"Now, if you'll excuse us," Annabeth quipped, turning around and linking arms with a stunned Nyssa. The other girls came on her other side and they walked down the halls.

Drew's voice carried down the hall. "You'll regret this!"

Thalia snorted. "I highly doubt that!"

And with that, they were out of range from that thunderstorm, all of them quite pleased with themselves. Piper, grinned, turning towards Nyssa on her right.

"So, about that boy…"
