The seats around her quickly filled up. The guy on her left was the first to introduce himself "Hey I'm Luke"
She studied his features; short-cropped sandy blonde hair, icy blue eyes, an athletic and muscular build but the best part about him is his mischievous smile. He was handsome yet intriguing, Annabeth felt a little nervous around him. By looking at him Annabeth could tell he was rebellious, more than Percy, which created a nervous energy and that excited her.
"Hi, I vaguely recognise you"
He chuckled, "Yeah, I was at the pool party"
He gave her a cheeky smile with a hint of an apologetic look, she gasped when she realised why
"You're the one that tried to get me wet"
He raised one eyebrow and produced a smug look,
"Oh really?"
At first she was confused at his comment but when she looked across at Percy and saw his envy and it was only then that she understood how Luke must of took her comment.
"Oh, no, no, that's not what I meant"
"No it's ok, I get it" Luke insisted "I'll try harder next time" and he winked at her.
Annabeth could feel herself getting hotter and a brighter shade of red with every passing moment. The girl infront, that Annabeth remembered Percy called Silena, turned around
"Take no notice of him, he's a jerk"
Luke stuck his tounge out at Silena but she just rolled her eyes at him,
"What else are studying?" Turning her attention back to Annabeth.
"Architecture, Pyschology and ICT aswell as the compulsive ones obviously (Maths, English and Science) how about you?"
"I'm doing Pyschology aswell! I'm also studying Drama and French"
"Oh wow! I bet they all link in really nicely with each other"
They were interrupted when Percy and Luke both shouted"Ayyy, about time Goat Boy". The envy she had seen in Percy only moments ago, had melted away.
"Goat boy?" Annabeth asked
Silena wasn't interested and just pointed behind Annabeth where she turned to see a Caucasian boy with curly hair and brown eyes.
She turned back to Silena "Why do they call him goat boy?"
Just then she felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned around to see the boy sitting on the desk behind her "Because my true ambition of life is to grow a goatee" he said
She looked at him with a blank expression
He returned the same look and it lasted a few minutes before he decided to shout "Baa" right in her face.
"Ok class time to settle down" the teacher finally said "you've had your fun and introductions" The students quietened down and went back to their seats, "Grover, your seat not the desk"
Goat boy quickly scrambled into his seat.
"For those new faces, of which I can only see a few, my name is Mr Dionysus-"
"Mr D" Luke, Percy and Grover started chanting.
"Boys" he walked over to their isle and looked at them individually before speaking
"I'm surprised your back" he said unenthusiastically
"And leave you with this boring lot? Never! " Percy responded
"I meant back here, in this school, I'm surprised you haven't been kicked out yet"
"You'd miss us too much Sir" Luke replied mischievously,
"I don't know about that, I might actually enjoy teaching"
"Now we know that's not true" Grover laughed
"Boys I hope you'll behave this year" he said sternly
"We do every year" Percy said,
"Apart from that one year where-" Luke reminded him and Percy shook his head in disbelief
"I still can't believe you two did that" Grover chuckled
Percy and Luke simultaneously high fived "Oh-Yeah"
"None of that this year, you will behave in my class!"
"As you wish, now are you going to teach or do you want to carry on with this?" Luke gestured to the 4 of them as innocently as he could.
Annabeth could hardly believe what she had just witnessed, Mr Dionysus smirked and walked back to the centre of the classroom. "As I was saying, I'm Mr Dionysus and I will be your history teacher. Up until Christmas you will be learning about the different mythologies; Greek, Roman, Egyptian and another of your choice."
The rest of the lesson went by pretty quickly, they didn't open their books or even write anything down. Mr D went into more detail about the specifications of each mythology and what would be expected of them; they were to produce a paper at the end of each one and they also had to give a presentation which they would do in pairs. Annabeth secretly hoped that her and Percy would be partnered together for the Greeks but she would never admit it out loud.
Once the bell rung Mr D dismissed them but asked if Annabeth could stay behind. Percy shot her an impressed look and mouthed "How'd you get in trouble already?"
She stood by her desk with her books in her hands and politely mouthed back "piss off"
He chuckled and left the room with Grover, Silena and Luke who winked at her just before he closed the door.
"How was my first lesson?" Mr D asked curiously,
"It was good Sir, I look forward to the rest of them"
"I'm glad and what do you think of your classmates?" He asked as he sat down on the edge of his desk and folded his arms.
She stayed standing up, a little nervous to sit down "Yeah they seem alright"
"I'm particularly interested in what you think of the three musketeers"
"Percy, Grover and Luke sir?"
"That's the trio"
What was she supposed to say? "I like them"
He sighed, clearly she gave the wrong answer.
"Look kid, you get good grades"
Uh oh, Annabeth hadn't heard this speech before but she knew where this was going
"I think those 3 are going to distract you and possibly even get you into trouble, particularly Luke"
Annabeth was a little surprised when he said Luke, she was expecting him to say Percy.
"Now it's not too late to move seats" he continued "there are some bright students in this class Annabeth"
She glanced at the window on the opposite side of the room where she could see Percy and Luke leaning against the wall talking. She caught eyes with them and they started pulling faces at her. She smiled.
"I think I'll learn everything I need from where I'm sat at the minute Mr D"
He sighed again, "Ok then, you're dismissed"
Annabeth smiled at her teacher and promptly left the room where she was greeted by Percy and Luke.
"What you do?" Percy asked as they walked through the corridors,
"I bet she clogged up the toilets" Luke sniggered
"I have more class than that" Annabeth responded
"No she's too pure to do something as trashy as that" Percy grinned
"Maybe she blew up the science department"
"I just said she's a good girl"
"I can change that" Luke smirked and Annabeth felt her cheeks go red and suddenly felt the temperature rise. She glanced at Percy and could see that he had clenched his jaw and his hands were now fists. Luckily they reached the canteen when Luke said he would see them tomorrow
"Why don't you join us?" Annabeth asked, eager to learn more about him
"Annabeth that's not a good idea" Percy whispered,
Luke shook his head "Definitely not, I'll see you around" and with that walked away.
"Why can't he join us?" Confused, Annabeth asked Percy
He sighed still looking at the spot where Luke had just been stood, "let's just say our group of friends don't like my cousin"
"He's your cousin?!" Annabeth exclaimed
Percy nodded, "I promise to fill you in later but we should really be heading over to the group, they'll wonder where we are."
"You mean Rachel will be" Annabeth muttered
Percy sounded wounded "Yes I mean Rachel"
