Chapter 3- introductions

Percy POV

"Im his friend from Chicago...We met at Camp TFS- Talents for all (btw made it up guys). "Rachelconcluded, a soft smile forming on her lips as she glanced at me.

"Ya, it was quite a surprise to find her as my new neighbor." I finished, remembering last night when I went to greet his new neighbors and found Rachel instead.

FLASHBACK

"Percy honey, can you please take the apple pie down next door," Sally requested, wrapping the freshly baked pie in the white courteous box. Sally was Percy's mom and he loved dearly. She had supported Percy with his every decision, and stood by him, no matter what.

"Oh come on mom, cant you please, Im in the middle of a game", Percy pouted, putting on my best puppy face.

"Oh psh Percy those faces aren't going to work on me, now come on move those legs and take the pie over. You should always greet the new neighbors, you know how th-". Sally lectured, but before she could finish her sentence, Percy butted in.

"Ok ok I get it mom Im taking it, no need to start a lecture. Those are for oldies." Percy joked; he knew his mom wouldn't mind his childish antics.

Percy strolled out of his house, and walked down the sidewalk. The weather was perfect. Warm, yet cool summer breeze cradled past his face, the sky was filled with burning lava orange, and might night purple, with streaks of black. It was beautiful. It was the perfect last night of summer vacation. He stopped when he realized he had arrived at his location. The house was similar to his. It was white stones and a red roof. He realized the balcony of the house was facing his balcony. 'How awesome' he sighed. He slowly made his way up to the porch and rang the doorbell. He heard shouts and feet scurrying to open the door. When the door opened, he saw someone he wasn't expecting at all. She was slender and averaged height about five feet and two inches. She had fiery red hair tied in a messy ponytail, with few locks cascading around her face. Her eyes filled with shine, the green orbs sending off a wave of excitement and surprised expression. She was dressed in loose blue button up shirt and black jeans. She was gorgeous and perfect in Percy's eyes. Truly perfect.

"OMG Percy! How-wa- omg! I can't believe you are here!" squealed Rachel. She jumped up to hug Percy, her warm body sending shivers down his spine. Percy hugged her back with one hand, because the other was too occupied holding the warm pie.

"Hey Rachel I didn't expect you to be here! I mean YOU are my new neighbor, I was expecting some old couple, for some weird reason. But wow! I mean I didn't know you were talking about New York when you said you were moving to some other state at camp. But Im glad you are here!" exclaimed Percy. He was truly happy that she was here. During camp two became inseparable, wherever they went or did something, it was together. And during that time he had grown a crush on her. She was no doubt beautiful, but other than that she was talented, fun, sarcastic, loving, caring, and understanding. Even though she was a little girly girl, she still was amazing. By seeing her here, he was truly ecstatic.

Rachel's POV (still flashback)

WOW! Was one word, I could describe him. He was truly a god. Standing in her doorway, he was wearing a gray v neck, with black jeans and green converse. His t-shirt, clinging to his body, shaping out his perfect abs. his green eyes showing shocked and happiness. He was perfect and just perfect. He was everything I wanted in guy. He was caring, fun, and a swimmer. He was hot, yet she liked his eyes and his personality the best. During the summer camp she met and instantly had an immense crush on him. But, she knew a guy that cute and hot, probably had a girl friend back home, so I didn't expect him to like a girl like me. Who talked too much, or was a boring painter. But right now it felt so perfect, being his arms and feeling his warm body crashing into hers. The moment was too perfect to be true.

NO ONES POV (FLASHBACK)

"Rachel who's at the door honey?'" asked a voice from the house, breaking their gazes from each other. Both seemed to be blushing terribly. A tall, well built t man entered appeared in the doorway, pushing a box out of the way.

"Oh and who would you be young man?" He questioned, interested in the young man who was holding his daughters interest.

"Oh, uh, hello sir, Im Percy Jackson your neighbor." He replied, a little embarrassed. "My mom wanted me to give you this pie, as sort of a welcoming gift." Percy continued.

"Oh how sweet of her. Thank you so much!" exclaimed a different voice, appearing in the doorway. She was an averaged height woman, with a radiant face.

"Ya sure," Percy acknowledged.

"Mom, this is Percy, remember I told you, my friend from camp." Rachel interrupted realizing her parents were embarrassing Percy.

"Oh so you are the famous Mr. Jackson, that my daughter can't stop talking about," Remarked Rachel's dad."Im Mr. Dare, Rachel's dad." He continued, forwarding his hand, a gesture for a handshake.

Percy, shake his hand. It was an awkward feeling, meeting your crush's parents. Not the introduction he had in mind but it was still a little weird to him.

"Why don't you come in," Mrs. Dare invited Percy.

"UH, no ma'm I have to get going, mom would be waiting, but it was nice meeting you" He replied, smiling,

"Alright, we'll see you around, then and thank your mother for me ok."

"Sure will Mrs. Dare." By this time, the couple had navigated back inside, with the pie, leaving Percy and Rachel alone on the front porch.

"Uh so ill be going than..." Rachel said, breaking the awkward silence

"Wait!" exclaimed Percy." Can I have your number, so you know we can like text and talk and stuff?"

"Sure" Rachel agreed happily, pulling a white iphone 5 from her back pocket, and handing it over to Percy. "Tap your number in"

Percy happily entered his number in, and handed back her phone.

"So I'll see you !" Percy said, giving her a goodbye hug. And started making his way back to his house smiling, when he stopped dead in his track remembering something.

"Hey Rachel, is your bedroom with the one with the balcony?'' he asked, curiously.

"Uh ya..." Rachel replied, unsure of why he was asking that.

He turned back smiling. It seemed like luck was in his favor and it also looked like fate wanted Percy and Rachel together, again. But what he didn't know that the fate would be breaking another's girl's heart.

END OF FLASHBACK

ANNABETH"S POV

"PERCY!" I bellowed in his ear for the last time. He seemed to stare of in the distance with a goofy smile on his face. It looked like he was remembering a good memory.

"Huh huh..." Percy stammered, finally breaking from his flashback." What?!" he looked around all four girl were staring at him with a weird expression on their faces.

"Oh" realization dawned on him, he must've zoned out. "I was remembering last night" he clarified, as he noticed a certain red head blush lightly.

"Uh come on lets go meet up with the rest of the gang," Annabeth called breaking Percy's gaze from Rachel.

The group walked towards the main entrance, by the maple tree where the rest of the gang was waiting. As the group approached their waiting gang, Luke walked over to Thalia. Luke was Thalia's boyfriend of two years. He had sandy blonde hair, and crystal blue eyes. He was tall, about 6 feet, Percy's height. He was Goode High's number two hottest boy, being the captain of the football team. He was gorgeous, and sweet, but no one compared to Percy in Annabeth's eyes.

"Hey wimps, what's up?'' Thalia commented as they met up to the group.

"Who you calling a wimp, Black devil?'' retorted Nico. Nico was Thalia's and Percy's cousin. He was the captain of the soccer team and he like Thalia, preferred to dress in black, with usually skulls patterned. He had dark black eyes, and if you stared long enough it pulled you into world of darkness. Next to him was his girlfriend, Amanda. Amanda was his girlfriend of one year. She had brownish black straight hair that headed by her stomach. Her eyes were a dark shade of brown, like dark chocolate swirls. She was sweet and smart. She was a close friend of Thalia, and Annabeth, all three of them had gone to elementary school together. But then she had to move to California, but she moved back a year ago and she reunited with her best buddies again. Standing next to her were Chris and Clarisse. Chris was a well built guy. He had black eyes and black hair. He was a quiet and nice guy. But he was also the caring one. Whenever the group had an argument he would be the one to stop them. Clarisse was his girlfriend. She was the fighter type. She wasn't a softy and obviously not a girly girl. She was always the girl who kept Annabeth Company when the girls were going shopping, since both shared the same hate for shopping. Even though Clarisse was not exactly a girl who you would think of going to when you wanted to discuss your problems, she was still a really good friend of the gang. After them were the Stolls. Conner and Travis Stoll. They were the pranksters of the group. They loved playing jokes on the gang, but they mean no harm. They were the once to go to when you need a good laugh. They always seem to brighten the mood. It was known he the group that Travis had a not so secret crush on Katie Gardner. But he had an unusual way to show it. He always teased her and played pranks on her, just for her to notice him all the time. Katie was a little sweet girl. She was basically a lover of the nature. She was simple, yet beautiful. Even though she was calm and sweet, you would not want to get on her bad side, she basically kills you. After her was Silena. Silena was the Barbie of the group. She was piper's twin, but they weren't anything alike. She was the girly one. She loved shopping, and everything with fashion. She had flawless olive skin, and perfect tone body. She was the hottest girl in school. The unique thing about her was, she could've dated anyone in this school, but she picked the guy who we didn't even know existed until she introduced him to us. When we think of the hottest girls in school, we think about the slutty, rich brats. But she was different. Yes, it was true she likes dressing up, but she didn't flaunt her money or dress as a slut. She was one of the nicest and caring people to walk through the doors of Goode High. Her boyfriend, was Charles Beckondorf, though she was the only who called him Charles. Beck was amazing. He was sweet and strong. He was like an older brother I never had. He understood me and my feelings, and I appreciated him for that. The last of the people were, Jason and Thalia. Jason was Pipers boyfriend. He was the next most oblivious guy, from Percy. He was also one of the popular guys that girls fell for. He had baby blue eyes and blonde hair. He was not the emotional guy or the one you expect to understand feelings, but somehow he was romantic to Piper. He proved to be sweet and caring towards her. Next is Thalia, Jason's sister, and my best friend from childhood. She was pretty and headstrong. She was the rebellious girl in our gang. She loved teasing everyone about their love life, but sometimes she took things too far. She, like Nico, dressed mostly in black, apparently to her black shows the rebellious side of her. She was sarcastic and fun. She always looked up for challenges. And last but not least I, Annabeth, well what I can say about myself. I was the nerdy one in my group. If anyone needed help in homework or any school thing I was there. I was known as the teacher's pet, in my group. I had blonde curly hair, and boring dull grey eyes. I usually dressed simple like Katie I wasn't into all the Barbie clothing. I wasn't as pretty as Thalia, Katie, Piper, Silena, and now it looked liked even Rachel. I was usually quiet and stubborn. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up in group of the popular people and prettiest people in school.

"Watch it death boy." Glared Thalia.

"Hey guys, this my friend Rachel."Percy interrupted, before the two cousins broke out a world war three.

A chorus of heys, hellos and was up's were broken. The gang bombarded Percy and Rachel with questions, of how they met and the one that hurt me was the one when, Silena asked" are you guy dating you would make totally a cute couple". But second after she said that, she sent me an apologetic smile. I smiled back to her giving her assurance it was fine. But what killed my heart was that, Percy, who was standing beside me, muttered" I wish..." That was the moment I realized, I had no chance with Percy. I had really believed that maybe, just maybe Percy had taken a liking to her. But the new girl had come and ruined it. Percy had taken a liking to Rachel. But I knew I couldn't blame Rachel, anyone would fall Percy, it just the way he was, sweet, hot, funny, the perfect prince charming. But Rachel was the lucky girl. The one girl Percy fell for.

NO ONE"S POV

Soon after the introductions, the gang broke out into couple pairs, and started catching up on what they missed in the summer. This was like always the first day of summer, and Percy and Annabeth would always pair up, but today as she walked up to Percy, she was surprised.

"Uh hey Annabeth is it ok if I show Rachel around the school right now, you before the hallways get crowded, Im sorry ill catch up to you later. Ok see ya." Percy walked off with Rachel, not before Rachel giving Annabeth a genuine, sorry, smile.

This was not what Annabeth had expected. She was Percy's best friend, and he was the only one who she paired up to and joked about their summers, event though most of it was spend together, they always found something talk about. Annabeth was broken; she was upset, that her best friend blew her off that way. He broke their summer tradition, because it was someone's first day of school. A single tear rolled down her light cream face, she quickly brushed it away, not wanting anyone to see. She looked around her gang; Thalia was laughing at something Luke was saying, Nico and Amanda were sitting on the grass, leaning against a tree and sharing headphones, listening music, while Amanda rested her head on Nico's shoulders. She smiled at the site. Katie was yelling Travis for a prank he pulled, like usual. Silena and Beck were hugging, since they hadn't seen each other for the whole summer. Piper and Jason were laughing, as Jason tickled Piper, and as Piper tried to get away. For the first time in her life she felt alone, the first day of summer she had no one, the person whom she complained was no gone, gone to someone else. First time in her life she had no one to joke to her summer about, no one to complain about school and no one to laugh with. The first day of school, and the first tear that escaped her eyes in 5 years. The first she cried for being alone in five years. That second was then she realized, her senior year she wasn't going to have a single best friend with her while all of her other friends were in a relationship. She was losing her best friend, and it was only the first day of senior year. She slowly picked up her backpack and walked off. Where? Away from the gang. For the first time...
