It took us around five minutes to get to the office. The secretary seemed okay since we didn't bother her rudely.

"Excuse me, I'm a new student here and I would like to get myself a schedule."

"Name?" She asked without looking up.

"Perseus Poseidon Jackson."

"Odd name you got there. Here's your schedule."

"Thanks a lot."

As we walked out of the office a girl with emerald green eyes, and curled red hair walked into school. Everyone except Annabeth I moved to one side of the hallway like an Honor Guard. When she laid eyes on me she smiled and started walking our way. "Darn it I've already got a stalker." As soon she saw Annabeth her smile turned into a frown.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. She seemed like one of those girls from that movie Mean Girls. I tend to avoid these type because Cassie was one and she looked like this girl minus the hair.

"If it was your business I would tell you, but no thanks." The red-headed girl's glare softened a little when she look at me and then she stormed off.

"That was Rachel Elizabeth Dare also known as R.E.D" Annabeth began "she's like the Queen Bee or something along those lines."

"Wait you mean the Rachel Elizabeth Dare? I thought she was all nice and artistic."

"She was until last year. Before we came to Goode she was my best friend, I told her all my secrets and fears and she used them against me in our Junior year." Annabeth's voice was cracking while she described what Rachel did to her. The next thing I did surprised me. I hugged her and it seemed as if time stopped itself. We stayed in this position until the bell rang for homeroom.

I was about to leave when Annabeth called me back.

"Percy can I see your schedule really quick?"

"Sure." When she was done I gave her one last hug and walked to class.

Annabeth's Pov

Percy's schedule went like this.

Perseus Poseidon Jackson

Homeroom 8:55-9:00, Room 105

Math 9:00-9:45, Room, 106

P.E 9:50-10:35, Gymnasium

Greek 10:40-11:05, Room 111

Lunch/Free Period, 11:05-11:55

English 12:00-12:45, Room 102

Science 12:50-1:35, Room 126

Study Hall 1:40-2:25, Room 10 0

The only thing that bothered me is that we don't have P.E or Greek together. I knew Rachel had both of those classes so those are two chances for her to hit on him.

As I walked to Homeroom I let my lingered on my thoughts. What will Rachel do to Percy? Will she leave him alone? Would she be just like that girl Cassie Percy was talking about? I was too busy thinking about my thoughts that I didn't notice the teacher standing in front of me.

"Excuse me Miss Chase." began "Aren't you supposed in class right now?"

"Sorry I was just putting some things into my locker before."

"Its fine just don't do it again." She gave me a late pass and then continued to her Homeroom class.

Percy's POV

When I got to homeroom I noticed that the teacher wasn't in there. I checked inside the room and sure enough it was in chaos.

I saw Rachel sitting in the back of the class, hands under her desk probably texting one of her friends. When I closed the door she sharply looked up annoyed and caught sight of me. As I walked to a desk in the back, which fortunately was one the other side of the room.

Rachel got up from her seat and walked toward me.

"Hey are you the new kid?" When she said those words I knew she was defiantly going to stalk me.

"Yeah I'm the new guy." I tried going around her to sit up front but she blocked my way. I would rather get called to do some math work than have her question me. Now she's probably going to ask on a date.

"So I was thinking if you want to go to the movie theaters next Saturday. Is it a yes?" I knew she was going to try and flirt with me. I did the only thing that to mind.

"Sorry I have a girlfriend already." It came out a little more harsh than I expected it to. Rachel seemed outraged when I said that.

"It's that Chase girl isn't it? I'm way more beautiful than her you know, and she doesn't have any cool friends at all." Rachel was really getting on my nerves Annabeth was right when she said she was the Queen Bee.

"Yeah Annabeth is my girlfriend and she's better than you." If cartoons were real she would have steam coming out of her ears. She stalked of not talking to me at all.

Lunch

I've avoided Annabeth all day since I needed to figure out an excuse. I figured I would need to tell her at lunch so I went to the swimming center to think.

I was sitting at the bottom of the pool when I was a blurry image of someone on the surface. I had the currents push to the surface when I got up I saw it was Annabeth and she was glaring at me.

"Why are you avoiding me?" She was pissed off by the way she looked at me.

"It's now or never." I thought."Annabeth I have something to tell you." I rest my hands on the edge of the pool.

"This morning before you got to class Rachel asked me on a date." I stopped, daring her to comment."You see I said no because I told her I have a girlfriend. And I said it was you."

She looked at me at shock for a few seconds then said "You know she's going to try and get you and I to kiss to prove it right?" I was surprised at this first since I wasn't thinking about then but I just put that at the back of my mind.

"I guess we're gonna ha to avoid that for as long as we can." When I said that I she seemed to get upset. We agreed to go to her house after school after that we went our separate way waiting for the end of the day.

Finally I finished this chapter Sorry it isn't as long as you expected its only 1,076 words with 4 1/3 pages until next time.
