After a while,and a bit of getting lost, I found the main office.

I walked in,and everyone was busy doing something. The office was filled with teachers holding stacks of papers,juggling staplers or sitting in their office desks tapping away on their computer. It was surrounded with posted notes and calenders. The file cabinets were being opened,and closed frequently,and it was hard for me to keep focus on just one thing.

Suddenly, an old mad looking man with curly hair appeared in front of me. He wore a sophisticated gray sweater with a polk-a-dot bow tie." Why aren't you in your uniform?...you're a trouble maker aren't you? You little punk. What? You don't know the rules? How do you not know the rules? Stand up straight! Why break the rules on such an important day?" This guy was uptight,strict,and dillusional. He didn't let me have a say in the conversation,and he was the one asking questions. It was like talking to a statue.

"Are you some kind of transfer student?" Before he could say anything,I quickly blurted," Yes!"

He was quiet for once,and then he smiled." You should have told me that before!"He chuckled," Call me Mr. Terminus;I'm the vice principal. Carry on." He patted my shoulder and left.

Moments later a brunette haired lady came up to me. She had a kind smile,with wise old eyes," You're a transfer student,right?"

I nodded my head,"Yes."

She motioned me to follow her. She sat down in a desk with hoards of papers on each side of her. She looked up to me with a smile,"Did you bring your files?"

Again,I took the papers out from my backpack. I handed it to her. Gently she read through my papers in surprise,"Wow. You have quite the experience,Andrew." She flipped to another page."Third place in a four-hundred meter junior track and field competition."

I smiled," Yes..." It was a girls competition.

"First place runner up at the L.A. regionals..." She scanned through the last page.

"Yes..."That too was for girls.

She gingerly placed my papers on top of the stack of papers on her left. She looked up at me,and pursed her lips in a half way smile." You're good to go. I suggest wearing your uniform first though. You don't need me to give you a tour of the school,right?"

I shook my head,"no."

I had a locker combination given to me. I opened my own locker,and squished my luggage in the narrow space. What a relief. I didn't have to carry it everywhere.

All around me the walls were yellow,with the usual mirrors in the corner. All the lockers were in a pattern of blue,and red. The benches were taller,and it was clean. I didn't think a guys locker room would be clean. Although, the cologne and constant mirrors was a surprise.

I took a uniform off its hanger in my locker,and put it on. I wore black slacks,loafers,a white shirt,purple tie and a suit with the schools name encrusted in it. The only thing I had left on me that resembled a girl was the owl necklace my mom gave me.I looked in the mirror. Wow-I do look like a guy. Kind of a bummer since some girls need special effects. All I needed was a wrap around the chest and a haircut.

"Okay,Annabeth Chase is now Andrew Chase. I can do this...for Percy Jackson." I smiled at myself. For Percy.

I was in front of my home room.

The door flung open,and a bunch of wild anima-boys. Boys flew past me playing tag. The noise seemed to be coming from my homeroom class. I exhaled,fixing my suit. Are all boys schools like this?

When I entered,no one stopped to see who I was. Don't let this crack you Annabeth,I can do this. Why on earth do I keep doubting myself? I've conquered harder things. This shouldn't be trouble.

I closed my eyes and counted to ten. I've got this.

I stepped in the middle,and front of the class with a smile. None bothered paying attention to me. They were all roudy. A couple guys were wrestling on one side,a bunch of meat-heads were just talking,and half of them were eating in the classroom.

"Hi,I'm Andrew Chase and I just moved here..." I looked around. A boy with blonde hair eating an apple showed somewhat attention towards me. "I uhh, I hope we could soon get to know eachother this school year."

"Sit down,newbie!" Some one shouted from the a banana peel hit me,I ducked. I looked back at it,and gulped. What? Who does that? The banana bits were all over Alexander the great.

I faced the laughing students,and realized I wore my nervousness on my sleeves.

"Nice reflexes,scrawny!" Splat! A sandwich flew past me,sticking to the white board behind me. What in hades is going on?

"Hey,dude..." The boy with the apple motioned towards the empty seat next to the window. Quickly I sat down with relief spreading through me. I placed my backpack under me.

"Thank you." I said,turning towards him.

He looked forward,eating his apple and shrugged,"Don't mention it."

I finally took in what the class looks like. It was like a high school study hall,but smaller. The walls were blue,and had posters hanging everywhere with Greek,and Latin phrases. The windows were huge in width,and sat next to a bookshelf full of literature books. The desks were occupied with bags,food,home work,and more food. How much do these boys eat? In front of the room on top of the white board was a dark poster with the words in white.

"Ab...antiquo..."I squinted at the poster. Did I read that right? I know that phrase. Isn't that-

"Ab antiquo- from the ancient." The blonde boy finished my thought. He faced me,and smiled sweetly."Mr. Brunner uses the poster as a way to tell people ahead of time he's old school. My name's Luke Castellan by the way."

I stared at him in awe.

He had a models face with a scar over his eye. Perfect cheek bones,chiseled chin,tan,pretty eyes,toned,tall...he looked like a prince in his uniform instead of some shape like me. Now that I think about it,he looks familiar.

I lowered my tone to a guys," Have we met?"

He put on a lazy smile; it looked like a smirk."Nah. You've probably seen me on Kronos time magazine." He picked up the magazine under his elbow,and pointed at it. He was on the cover with the exact same smile,but the magazine had touch ups to his scar.

I stared at him cluelessly.

He raised a brow at me. He suggested,"Aphrodites chocolate commercials? Mmm...How about Hermes shoe commercials? My dad owns the brand..." Luke trailed off,probably thinking I knew what he was talking about.

I sorta felt bad for not knowing. People must look down at me in shame,but I wasn't the type to be,"up to date",with things,especially with trends. Gods,I don't even own a phone.

He scoffed playfully," You,my friend,need to be educated. I'll show youthe rules,and whatnots to this school. Got it?" He pretended to be serious. I mentally took note of Lukes kindness. And ego. He's probably the only friend I'll make in this school.

I nodded my head.

"Hey,Andrew." Someone hollered.A tall and lanky boy sat on top of the desk behind me. He rested his left foot on the back of my chair.

Immediately I didn't like him. His uniform was too baggy on him. He had an aura to him that spelled out danger. Or maybe punch me.He wasn't scary looking. In fact,he was sorta like a scarecrow compared to Luke,and other boys in this school.

He was playing with a beat-up stuffed lion. He kept his eye on the toy as he juggled it in the air." As you noticed,our school isn't like other schools." Some of the other guys paid attention to the conversation. I noticed some of them rolled their eyes,or tried holding in their laughter. His thin lips curved into a slick smirk.

" We have initiations."

"Initiations?" I asked. Luke gave the stink eye to the scrawny kid. He held the apple core like he was about to throw it.

"Does he have to,Octavian? Where does it say we all need to do this?" Luke said it in a way that showed he wasn't going to put up with it. Whatever "it" is.

Octavian snarled," Yeah,he does actually."

"What's the initiation?" I said,not showing any fear in front of this guy. He had two other guys in the back of him. Body guards? I can take 'em. Maybe not.

He stopped juggling the lion,glancing at me like I was lucky to even have him talk to me. Then he came closer to my face,but I moved my head back. Weirdo. He studied my face then moved back to his slouching position.

"You'll love it." He wickedly smiled.

Authors note:

Hey guys! Thank you so much for reading,and reviewing. I know what you might be thinking: Where's Percy?

He'll be in the next chapter.(Or future chapter)

I was thinking about Luke,and yeah. He was pretty mean to Percy,but Annabeth? Not so much. So Luke's going to be pretty protective over Annabeth in this story...er...Andrew.

Hehe I'M EVIL. I'm not going to tell you why,but you might not like what I'm going to do to Annabeth in a future chapter. Remember my plot twists? Booyah.

By the way,Hana kimi in both versions are awesome. You should definitely watch it,and if you don't watch genderbender dramas like that,there's a bunch of awesome stuff out there.

Anyways,

read,review,favorite and follow.
