Annabeth's POV
I was awakened by the continuous beep of my alarm clock. I opened my heavy eyelids and read the clock to see it was 6:30am. Groaning, I stumbled out of bed and took a quick shower that jolted me awake. It`s been two days since Percy saved me and the knife wound had healed up but left a scar and now im heading to high school.

I put on a navy cable knit sweater, with a white blouse underneath, black skinny jeans and brown ankle boots. I pulled my hair into a french braid bun and rushed downstairs, careful to not make loud noises.

I strolled into the kitchen and cooked up a batch of pancakes. Thalia walked through the door, grabbed a plate and was immediately stuffing her face with food. I rolled my eyes at my friend's antics.

Pig.
Thalia was wearing a black crop top shirt that read 'WTF? Where's The Food?', high waisted black jeans, a long black cardigan and black ankle boots. She had pulled her short hair back into a ponytail, finishing off her modern punk outfit.

'Seriously, Annie! These are amazing!' Thalia said, smirking. I sighed as I sat down across from her and dug into my own breakfast. Soon after, we headed off for Atlantis High.

Percy's POV
I scurried through the small double doors, grumbling. I mean, sure, I was going to school which meant 7 hours away from my reckless father! But that meant I had to wake up at 6:30am to be ready for the day!

Wait a second, let me back up.

When i was at BlackJack and i secret place i heard a voice as we were leaving as i turned around i think i saw Athena but it soon disappeard when i blinked.

As I walked down the path my mind was stuck on why would Athena just appear than vainish,After Blackjack and I got back from our secret place, I had to head to dinner. My father and mother were sitting at the table, having a debate over something. As I walked in, they both sat up straight in their seats and avoided each other's gazes.

I took my seat, giving them each a suspicious look. The chef brought out platters of food that he offered to each of us. I politely turned everything down and looked my father in the eye to see determination. Oh, brother.

'So, I'm assuming you want to tell me something?' I questioned, raising an eyebrow. My father sighed.

'You're going to school.' He stated candidly. I stared at him in shock, but just nodded and went back to my dinner. My mother organised me for the first day of school, and then I ended up at my locker the next day.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see Jason Grace, my cousin and best friend.

'Bro! I didn't know you were coming here!' He exclaimed. I chuckled, but shushed him. I was trying to keep a low profile until classes started. I didn't really want a swarm of fangirls stalking me.

However, a female figure slowly approached us. I heard Jason inhale sharply behind me, so I suspected he had met this girl before. I inwardly groaned as the figure suddenly quickened her pace, eyes set on Jason.

Then, well, came the unexpected.

The girl slapped Jason across the face and started telling him off.

'Jason Michael Grace! You are never allowed to do that again! You know that you're not supposed to leave my sight, because I'm-' The girl whisper-shouted, but was cut off by Jason pushing his lips against hers, kissing her passionately.

The girl's hood slipped off to reveal choppy chestnut brown hair braided with feathers. She had tan skin and her kaleidoscope eyes were wide in shock.

Wait, she was familiar. Who was she?

'Piper!' I hissed excitedly. Piper turned her eyes towards me and, if it was possible, they widened even more. She pushed Jason away, both of them panting heavily. I grinned at them.

'PDA, much?' I said, grinning. The two blushed and Piper looked away.

'I-I only wanted t-to shut her up-p.' Jason stuttered, his face a deep shade of red. My smile widened as Piper 'hid' a smile before replacing it with a scowl. She glared at Jason harshly as he avoided her gaze.

Ah, young love.

'We're are not together, Perce! I'm his protector, and even if I'm assigned to keep him from harm, doesn't necessarily mean I like him! At all.' Piper protested angrily. A look of hurt flashed in Jason's eyes as I peered at him. I eyed Piper carefully to see a regretful expression on her face.

Ah, relationship problems.

Then, my heart stopped as I met eyes with her's.

Annabeth.

Annabeth's POV
I was walking down the hall when my eyes caught a glimpse of a pair of familiar sea green eyes, that only a certain prince could have. I turned to Thalia, whose gaze was on the blushing boy next to Percy. Jason, her little brother.

We advanced towards the boys and the beautiful girl who was beside them. She looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. As we got closer, Percy grinned and pointedly nodded his head towards his two companions and puckered his lips, as if making a kissing motion.

I wish I could kiss him. Uh, I mean...

Thalia suddenly thundered towards the pair and looked as if she was going to rip the girl to shreds. Then she paused. Her face broke into a grin and she hugged the girl tightly. I reached the group and sent Thalia a questioning look.

'Oh, Annabeth, this is P-' Thalia was cut off by an ear-splitting shriek. I turned to the girl, who looked like she was from Cherokee heritage, and squealed as well.

'Piper! Oh my gods, it's great to see you!' I exclaimed. Piper just nodded and squeezed me until I could hardly breath. Now it was Thalia's turn to be confused.

'Thals, Piper was my best friend in fourth grade! She had to move at the end of the year, but I didn't know she came to Atlantis!' I breathed quietly, not wanting to attract any more attention after Piper and I's outburst.

Piper was wearing a long sleeved black blouse, a peach skater skirt, black full-length stockings, brown ankle boots and a black hooded trench coat. She looked gorgeous, as usual.

Thalia suddenly perked up, as if she remembered something.

'So! Pipes, Jace, anything you want to tell me?' Thalia said pointedly, gently nudging Jason in the ribs. The two in question blushed, but were saved by the bell.

'Lucky!' I murmured and headed off to homeroom.

After four fascinating periods, it was time for lunch. As Jason, Percy, Piper, Thalia and I sat at a table, a girl walked up to us.

Just looking at her you could tell she was popular. She was wearing a tie-up denim blouse, tight magenta jeans and high black heels. She had glossy black hair and an Asian complexion, that had a pile of makeup painted on the top.

The girl eyed the boys seductively and glared at Piper, Thalia and I. We all rolled our eyes.

'So, I'm having a party tomorrow night. Everyone at school is coming. It's at 76 Rosewater Esplanade, at 6:00pm. Oh, and it's a costume party, so dress up!' She said chirpily, but her voice was laced with venom whenever she turned to me. 'My name's Drew, by the way.'

Drew suddenly walked up to Percy, sat on his lap and made out with him. Percy tried to fight, but apparently she had a strong grip. The make out session went on for a minute or so. Drew stood up, straightened out her outfit and lew Percy a kiss.

We were all silent for a few seconds, staring at Percy. He had lipstick stains all over his face, his hair was messier than usual because of Drew running her hands through it and his shirt was half off.

I felt like someone had dropped a rock in my stomach. I couldn't be… jealous, could I? I had hurt to see Percy with someone else, but maybe that was because he was my friend and he saved me. But from across the cafeteria I saw Drew smirking at me smugly.

Thalia snickered as she looked at Percy. Soon Jason, Piper and Percy burst into fits of laughter, as well. I forced a smile on my face and joined in.

No one could know how I was feeling right now not even me.
