Hi again everyone! Thank you for reading! Here's chapter 2!

Chaos. Only word to describe Goode Highschool. Percy and I were walking to our lockers, which were next to one another, no doubt the working of Paul Blofis. Paul is Percy's step-father, an English teacher at Goode, and our homeroom advisor. Paul also had our schedules nearly identical. The only difference was I had architecture for an elective while Percy had swim practice.
While walking down the halls, so many people called out to Percy, I don't think there's one person in the school that doesn't know his name. Percy had been attending Goode before Hera kidnapped him, and apparently he was popular here too. I noticed some pretty nasty looks from a group of girls looking at our intertwined hands when I heard a shriek.
My hand flew to my hip where my knife was strapped, but Percy stopped me before I could grab it. The shriek came from a girl with straight, unnaturally blonde hair. She picked her way through the hall towards, pursing her overly glossed lips when a freshman didn't move out of the way.
"Percy! Hey, babe! Where have you been?! I was just going to ask you to the winter formal, then POOF! You disappear!" the blonde girl cried placing her hand on Percy's arm. He tensed immediately, gripping my hand tighter. The girl was oblivious to me standing right there. I hated her.
"Paige, I've told you. Don't call me 'babe'. I have a girlfriend, who happens to be standing right here. And I had some...matters to deal with when I left." The blonde girl, Paige, pouted at the word 'girlfriend'. She turned and looked at me. She gave me a once-over and turned back to Percy.
"Hmpf. Well I guess I'll see you at swim practice later today. Bye hun." Paige turned and walked back the way she came from. I stood there for a moment, trying to take in everything that just happened. I turned to Percy with my mouth open about to say something. He put a finger over my lips before I could say anything.
"That was Paige Johnson, school flirt and head cheerleader. I have never had nor will have a thing with or for her," he rushed to explain.
I smiled and said, "oh Seaweed Brain... I know that because you wouldn't do something like that, especially knowing I can kick your butt!"
"Bring it on, Wise Girl!" He poked my ribs and almost started to tickle me, when he was side tackled by a blur of black.
I heard laughter and turn to see my friends watching Percy and the person in black wrestle. The person in black was Nico di Angelo. I smiled at my friends. The seven were all there; Jason was hugging Piper's waist with one arm, Frank and Hazel were holding hands. I looked around, expecting to see Leo tinkering with something from his tool belt or inspecting the craftsmanship of a locker, he wasn't there. The memories flooded back faster than ever and i couldn't stop them. I had just enough time to scream and press my palms to my ears before I blacked out.
A/N: please review and let me know what you think! Thanks a lot!
