Previously in Half Blood High~~

"You flare your nostrils." Annabeth said, looking at him with her piercing eyes. Percy felt his cheeks redden. Just then, the bell rang for first period.

"Holy can. I'm late. If I'm late another time for Mrs. Dodds' class, she's going to incinerate me." Grover yelped, rushing away, tripping and almost falling. He picked himself up and shot a sheepish smile back. "See ya later at lunch Perseus!"

Percy smiled.

"Hey, you have class too." He pointed out to the Annabeth.

"I have a pass today. I'm supposed to show you around." She said, turning and walking. Percy stared at her. She walked with confidence, her chin up and hands swinging moderately. "You coming?"

So he followed her around. They went to the fine arts center, Annabeth's favorite building, the tennis courts, the labs, the rock climbing walls, the track, the theater, the dinning hall, and some other classrooms that Percy didn't care much for. But when they went to the swimming pool, his eyes lit up. This didn't go unnoticed by Annabeth.

"Why are you so happy right?" She questioned, a smirk already forming.

"I like swimming." Percy said simply.

"Are you any good?"

"State champion…" Percy muttered humbly.

"That's actually pretty cool. Most guys are all football and crap. Nice to know that you're different." She smiled.

"I…uh…I play football too." Percy scratched the back of his head nervously, tousling his wavy jet black hair.

"Oh." She grinned cheekily. " So are you a dumb jock or what?"

"Hey! Rude!" He bumped her shoulder. She bumped him right back and stuck her tongue out. Percy laughed. "Well…I'm horrible at math… but biology is my expertise."

"I can help you with math if you want. And English and Chemistry. I'm pretty good at art too. Music is all right. I played the viola in 6th grade but I got bored… and I think the music teacher, Ms. Bass didn't really like me." Annabeth frowned. Percy decided she was used to being the teachers pet. Nerd. "So what do you want to be when you graduate?"

"An Olympic swimmer… or Marine Biologist, I guess. My dad is one." Percy said. "I just like water… and stuff." Annabeth gave a cherubic smile and kept walking.

"Saving the ocean. How cute!" She teased.

"Hey, it's serious stuff." Percy defended with mock hurt. "Anyway, what about you, Wise Girl?"

"Wise Girl? Just no." She laughed when she said it though. "I want to be an architect. I love math and design… and history."

"Gods you're so…nerdy!"

"Am not!"

"Are too."

"No."

Wise girl."

"No!"

"Don't deny it, Wise girl."

"Seaweed brain."

"Haha— wait. What?"

"Kelp head."

Annabeth showed him his locker, which was placed right next to hers, and some of his classes. It turned out that they were in the same Biology, Chemistry, Art and English class. Even the same lunch period.

Percy was a cool kid. Not that bright. Kind of derpy… but she liked him. He wasn't a jerk or a snob. He wasn't a braggart or a complete idiot.

Percy was pretty happy with his day so far. Lunch was in a couple minutes and he had several classes with Annabeth. Two friends made already. He wondered how many more he'd meet on his first day.

"So Seaweed Brain, why'd you come to Half Blood High? Most people enroll at like 6th grade, not 10th." Annabeth was a pretty curious girl. Percy made a connection. Annabeth was the school's Socrates. Annoying… but wise. She was probably respected here.

"I've been expelled so many times… I just didn't fit in to those other schools…" Percy muttered, looking down. He wasn't proud of his history with new schools.

"It's okay. I was expelled, like, 5 times before I came here. And that was just elementary school. Like WTH." Annabeth laughed. Most kids here were like that. Half Blood High was a place that everybody loved, heck, even Clarisse LaRue liked it here. She claims that she hates it, but she really doesn't. Annabeth can tell. Percy grinned at her. "You'll love it here. Plus you've already got Grover as your new best friend."

"And you." Percy pointed out with a shy smile.

"Hey, who said I was your friend." Percy's face dropped a bit but then she laughed. "I'm kidding Seaweed Brain. Gods, you're such a girl!"

Then the bell rang and doors opened. The sound of sneakers and gossiping filled the halls within the seconds. Waves of kids rushed past them and Percy looked to Annabeth in confusion.

"Where are they all going— Annabeth? Wait! Where are you?" Dear lord.
