Percy POV

"And then we caught him and I have been in charge of the interrogation, and Frank is so pissed off and jealous and…" Jason has been droning on and on for the past hour about what went down 2 days ago. When he asked me if I wanted to meet up for coffee I thought that it would just be a quick "Hi" but apparently not. I really regret coming. If I don't leave soon I'm going to miss my English class at NYU. Normally I would stay clear of any languages, but I really need this course if i'm going to graduate my marine biology course. I have never been that bright of a student, but Marine Biology really clicks for me.

I take a sip of my coffee that has long gone cold and gaze around the little coffee shop.

"Percy? are you even listening to me?" Jason asks.

"what? Oh! Yeah, no, I mean, Yes I'm listening," I stammer.

"Well I got to go back, but here I'll just show you some pictures from the security footage," he pulls out a manila envelope, and starts to show me pictures. "This is the guy that we have in custody. He won't talk except for give us information that we already know, but what we really want to know about is the girl." He shows me a photo of a really pretty dark haired girl with big eyes. "We think that this might be 'Annie'". He uses air quotes around Annie. "We also think that Annie might just be an alias." I just smile, trying to look interested. I am, but I really am going to be late for my class, and its the first one of the term.

"Look man, I really gotta go," I say effectively cutting him off.

"Oh yeah of course dude, sorry I totally lost track of time."

"But seriously, thats really cool dude. As I said if you ever need help, I'm here," I tell him while grabbing my coat and laying down a tip on the table.

" Ok Percy I'll see you latter."

"You got it," but I'm not to sure he heard me because I'm already pushing through the door.

I pull into the student parkade with minutes to spare until the class starts, and I race to the lecture hall. I dive into my seat, a few rows back from the professor just as he starts to speak.

(A/N I have no idea in fuck what goes on in a university english class, so Im just gonna make it like a high school english class.)

"Alright lets get started shall we." The prof drones on about what to expect from his class and shit like that while I get my bearings. Beside me there is a guy who is dressed in a preppy, 'I'm gonna pay attention and since I pay attention my life is gonna be soooo much better than yours' way. On my other side there is a girl with long blond hair and big gray eyes. She is wearing a huge knit cardigan, leggings and a pair of vans, with her hair in a very sloppy ponytail. I watch as she leans over and writes her name on the top of her lined piece of paper. 'Annabeth'

Well she's cute

I turn my attention back to the prof, as he starts to outline stuff that we are going to be doing this year, like creative writing and reading complicated, boring old books. The he starts to talk about the reading list for this year. We're going to have to choose a book and read it! Shit, reading. I'm dyslexic, and I can usually 'fake it 'till I make it', but reading a straight out book is going to be a challenge.

"You will now choose a book that interests you, choose someone to work on it with and read the book. After you have finished I expect you to dig for themes, meanings, you name it. I'll tell you a little bit more in a few classes. Now please choose someone to work with."

I look around. I don't know anyone in this class. There's a tap on my shoulder. The cute blond beside me tentatively says, "Do you want to work together?"

"Sure," I stick out my hand, "Percy."

"Annabeth."

"Nice nam-" I am cut off as the prof starts to speak again.

"Well. It was very nice to meet you all, I wish you the best of luck in my class this year, and if you work hard your marks will reflect it. Have a good day." With that he grabs his briefcase and makes his way out of the lecture hall. I turn to Annabeth.

"Want to grab a coffee and talk this over a bit more?"

"Sure," She says as she packs up her laptop. "Where?"

"That little place down the block?"

"Yeah I love that place! Sure."

We join the river of students leaving the hall and walk out into the noon sunshine. The sun is shining, but its brisk out.

"Do you have a car," she asks me.

"Yeah I do; Ill pick it up after."

She just nods. "I'm not going to be able to stay for too long, I got to get back for something."
"Thats fine."

"So, Percy, what are you majoring in?" She asks as we make our way down the street.

"I am majoring in marine biology and minoring in education," I tell her. I have always been fascinated by anything related to the ocean. Usually classes bore me in general, but I can't get enough of marine biology. " I have 2 more years to go. You?"

"Oh I'm just planning on getting my degree in architecture. I'll see what I can do with that. Maybe someone will want to hire me." We've reached the shop.

A blast of warm air rushes at me as I push open the door to the coffee shop.

A/N: Hello! So I hope you like it. I'm sorry that its so short. The next chapter I just need to proof read and edit a bit so I'll probably have that up by tomorrow (Morning?). So I know that I "told" you a bit about my self last time. (A lot was made up though so... without any further ado, I present you Demi:

So I live a Canada. I have a dog and I sister who is incredibly annoying named Georgia. I am 14 years old and I play ringette and basketball. (Ringette is like hockey, but different...look it up.) I swear way to much and I just wish that it would rain here. So thats me.
