Previously on HBH~~

Percy shrugged. Maybe the party would be bad… maybe it'll be fun. 'I guess I'll just have to go to see.' Plus it was in three weeks. By then, he'd be more settled… it'll be fine.

The next day, Percy had history first period. Earlier, he was at his locker talking to Connor. They had history together.

"Dude, the history teacher is the coolest professor at Half Blood High." Connor was leaning against Annabeth's locker. She had come earlier but needed to talk to Ares Kent, the PE teacher… something about her upcoming track meet. Percy didn't have football practice today, so Annabeth invited him to watch the track team practice. Travis was going to be there too, so Percy would have some company.

"Oh yeah?" Percy grabbed a couple books from his locker.

"Yeah man. His name is Mr. Brunner, but we call him Chiron. He's like epic. He has these kickazz Greek army weapons and he tells the most awesome stories about heroes and myths and stuff." Connor said, walking with Percy as they headed for class. "He doesn't even care if you don't go to class or not do homework. He just says it's our own loss then, but no one wants to skip his classes."

When they walked into the room, they found their seats in the middle, near Amanda and Will. Everyone was in little groups, chatting and talking. But then the door slammed open, revealing a scruffy man in a wheelchair. His brown goatee was wispy and small. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles and a green scarf. In his left hand was a book and in his right was a steaming mug of what Percy guessed, was coffee.

"Alright Half-bloods! Good morning." He wheeled over to his desk. Everyone calmed down and sat, listening attentively as he immediately dove into the epic of The Odyssey.

Percy had never paid so much attention in school before. Connor was right; Chiron was a really cool teacher. His story telling abilities man! Everything he said managed to be intriguing. Class ended way faster than Percy would've liked. Just as he had put all his books into his bag and was following his friends out the door, Chiron called his name.

"Perseus."

"Um, hey Chiron. And it's, um, just Percy."

"Oh yes yes. Percy." Chiron said, opening a cabinet under his desk. "I remember when you were just a young boy living in Manhattan. I taught your father and your uncles in school before… and I also was your physical education teacher once." When Chiron saw Percy raise an eyebrow subtly, he continued, "back when my legs were fine though, of course. Arthritis is a real annoyance. But history is my passion."

"So you knew my father?" Percy felt some curiosity. The reason why he moved here was because his father, whom he rarely ever saw, decided that he wanted Percy to receive his high school education at Half-Blood High. Frankly, Percy was still sort of confused as to why his father even cared. The man was barely ever around! And now he wants Percy to move halfway across the country, to a district that Poseidon himself owned most of? Just wow.

"He was one of my favorite students." Chiron nodded. "Maybe you don't understand your father, but he's actually a great man. He may not seem to show his love towards his family very directly, but he really cares about you Percy."

Percy wasn't so sure about that.

"Here" Chiron handed Percy a silver fountain pen. "Your father wanted you to have this. It was the pen he used most in school."

Percy took the pen and delicately turned it, looking at the details on it. The engravings were in Greek.

"I don't want you to be late for your next class, Perseus. Run along now. I'll see you for class tomorrow."

"Thanks Chiron. See you tomorrow!" Percy smiled at his new favorite teacher and grabbed his stuff and left.

Afterschool, Percy was at the bleachers with Travis, watching the team run laps. He had a fruit smoothie in in hand for Annabeth when she was finished, which was in a minute.

"So dude. Is there anything going on with you and Chase?" Travis casually said, shooting an evil grin at Percy.

"Stoll! It's only been like three days." Percy exclaimed.

"You know, Katie told me that she overheard some underclassmen talking about 'Percabeth'. Pretty crazy stuff if you ask me. They even have fan fictions about you two." Travis chuckled. Percy looked absolutely horrified. People at this school worked fast. "There's this creep called Ron or Rodney or Rick or something… he wrote and published a Percabeth fan fiction online. Apparently it's called The Lightning Thief. He's going to write a whole series. Man! And it's only been three days!"

Percy groaned. He didn't have anything against Annabeth, in fact, he really really liked her! But really? A fan fiction and a ship name? What was this madness?

"Dude, just saying, I totally ship it!" Travis got up and walked over to Katie who was slinging her sports bag over a shoulder. They left the field quickly.

"Hey Wise Girl. Got you a smoothie." Percy smiled nervously, handing the drink over to Annabeth.

"Ugh! I love you." She grabbed it and chugged.

"Woah! Slow down!" Percy laughed. Annabeth was so different form typical girls. She wasn't afraid of liking food like some other girls he knew. Annabeth was sweaty and flushed but wasn't afraid of looking 'ugly' in front of guys. She just went on her merry little way.

Percy watched as she cracked a smile, still drinking the frothy drink. Her blonde curls in a high ponytail, natural highlights everywhere from all her hours in the sun. Percy remembered her telling him about her past summers in California. Her eyes shut contently and her cheeks pink and flushed from practice.

"Okay. Drive me home Seaweed Brain. I'm exhausted." She slouched, grabbing her duffel bag and walking towards the parking lot.

"Wow. Diva." Percy rolled his eyes, following her.

She turned and smiled sweetly. "Please? I'm sore and tired!" Percy made a poker face just to tease her. He even lifted a brow. "Oh, come on! Don't make me walk all the way after freaking 50 miles of running!"

"I'm just kidding! I'll take you home whenever you need me to." Percy laughed, running to her, picking Annabeth up in his arms and running to the car.

Their laughter slowly faded as they drove to her dorm. When they got there, they sat in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's presence.

"You know, apparently, some kids in school are writing stories about us." Percy said suddenly, looking out the window with a cheeky grin.

"Ugh! I know! Katie told me. It's so stupid." Annabeth groaned.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? I'm not that bad. Rude! You are so rude today you know that?" Percy mocked hurt and scooted further away from Annabeth.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Annabeth laughed. "Ill see you tomorrow at school Seaweed Brain." She kissed his cheek and got out of the car, smiling all the way to her room.
