I grab a hold of the guitar and strummed it for a minute. "I was right, you're not talented!" exclaimed Rachael. " Ah sweetie, I haven't even started." I smirked up at her. I looked over to Thalia and she gave me an encouraging nod.

( she is going to be playing the guitar solo for 'into the night' by Santana feat. Chad kroeger! Listen to it, its flipping amazing!)

I started the solo of one of my many favorite song. I felt the amazing feeling of my hands grinding along the strings of the guitar. I haven't played this song in forever. I went with the flow and soon I was lost in the song.

When it ended I looked up and saw everybody's jaw dropped with the exception of a smirking Thalia. "I think i'm done!" I said with a smiled plastered on my face.

I walked up the rows toward Thalia and gave her a fist bump. "well it seems like we now have 2 guitarist in this class!" exclaimed Mr. Apollo like he just won a puppy. Thalia and I stifled are laughs. "well its time for your next class so get out of my life!" what kind of teacher says that to his students?!

I walked down the stairs with Thalia talking about ninja's and how she believes that there are some in our school. "Thalia I seriously doubt that there are ninjas in the school, and if there where would the whole student body know about them? Anyways I got to go to my next class. See you at lunch?"

"Yeah, You'r sitting with us by the way. The ninja conversation will be carried during lunch!"

I just shake my head and head to my next class.

I walk out of gym to find Thalia leaning against the door across from the locker room. She latches onto my arm and drags me away from the crowd of kids.

"Hurry their going to catch up to us! We have to get our table, before they take it!" She practically drags me to the out door cafeteria were everybody is surrounding food carts and food trucks.

You shout it out

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm criticized

But all your bullets ricochet

Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bullet proof nothing to loose

Fire away, Fire away

Ricochet you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

Before I can even look at the names of the food trucks Thalia is yanking me forward again. " Seriously Thalia what's wrong?" She ignores me and stops right in front of a table, that's occupied by a red head and her click.

"Move it Carrot top!" Thalia growls at Rachel. "She wont move Thalia, we've already tried." I look to the right of us now just noticing that Percy, Nico, and Frank were already standing there.

"Yeah, but unlike you guys Annie and I-" "Don't call me Annie!" "Are girls and you know what that means?" She turns back towards Rachel. "It means that we wont get in as much trouble as they will if we decide to, I don't know. Punch you in the face."

"Please you wouldn't, and I bet Blondie over here cant even through a decent punch." Blondie? Blondie?! Oh, hell no!

" She's right Thalia, I mean it would be rude to waste all the money she's put into her crappy nose job." I say with false sympathy.

I hear laughing from an approaching Piper, Hazel, and Leo. "Chica's got a bite to her... I like it." I just roll my eye's Leo horrible attempt at flirting.

"Point is Rachel, nobody like's you so please do us a favor and screw off." Piper says calmly.

Rachel stands up from the bench and I see Leo slowly move toward the table. "Fine let's sing then, who ever sings better gets the table."

Nico scoffs and rolls his eyes, "Rachel this isn't High School Musical!"

"Of course this isn't High School Musical Goth Boy! What ever, i'm not moving from this table so get over it."

"Hey don't call him that! Only I can call him Goth Boy!" Thalia growls in the face of Rachel and her bimbo's.

"Shut it, wannabe! How about you go put some more black lipstick on and go cut your self!" My jaw drops. That's it, I haven't known Thalia for long but I know she's a great friend. Nobody deserves to be talked to like that.

I look around and spot a cupcake at a nearby table. I walk over to the girl who has it on her tray, "I'll buy you two more." She just looks at me as I pluck it from her tray and walk back toward Rachel who is now mouthing of to Percy. I walk right up to her ans smash it right into her face.

I take a step back, "Oops i'm sorry, I tripped." I see Thalia smirk from the corner of my eye.

Before you know it a drink is poured on Rachel's head, "Wow they should really put a safety hazard on air. I mean its so easy to trip on!" Thalia says while shoving Rachel out of the way. I just smirk as we all sit down.

"Nice move Annie, " I don't even try to correct her this time. "I wish I thought of that one!" I just roll my eyes at Thalia.

"Well I'll be back, I have to buy a girl two cupcakes." "Wait i'll come with you!" I shrug as Percy walks with me to one of the food carts that sell cupcakes.

I walk up to the stand and order, " Two chocolate cupcakes -" " and two blue vanilla cupcakes, please." I look at Percy and give him a seriously look. " $10 please." I reach into my pocket to grab my money but i already hear, "Thank you come again."

"You shouldn't of done that." I scold up at Percy. "Well Ms. Chase I feel obligated to pay for beautiful women like yourself. Its the gentlemen thing to do." My cheeks heat up, "If I wasn't mistaken Mr. Jackson I would say you're flirting with me."

He just smiles down at me, "Depends. Did it work?" "Maybe." he just smirks and hands me one of the blue vanilla cupcakes, "How about now?"

I take a bite of the cupcake and swallow, "definitely." He just laughs and starts to eat the other cupcake.

"So Annabeth chocolate or vanilla cake?" I stare at Piper. "Um... vanilla?"

"Whats your favorite color?"

"Piper wh-" "Answer it!" "Gray, jeez calm down."

"Whats your favorite flower?"

"Piper what is this about?" I ask her while finishing the last of the cupcake Percy bought me.

"Oh, i'm just planning yours and Percy's wedding!" she squeals. "PIPER!" Percy and I yell at the same time.

the whole table by now is laughing at our embarrassment. "Oh, please we all know you two are the perfect couple. PERCABETH FOREVER!" I slam my head on the table and groan. Can this lunch go any slower?

Finally the 7th class of the day, one more and I can leave. I walk into vocal class with Piper as we go to meet up with everybody. We grab some sets and I see some new people that were sitting with us.

"Annabeth this is Connor and Travis Stoll; don't trust them with important things, This is Katie, Clarissa, Chris, Selena; she's helping me with Percy and yours wedding-" "Were not getting married Piper!" "Yes you are. This is Beckendorf, Lacy, Nyssa, and Will. Every body this is Annabeth."

"Alright, settle down everybody. Today we have a few people preforming today. Plus a little red haired birdy told me we have a new student today named Annabeth, who absolutely loves to sing! Come on down here Annabeth!"

I stand up and walk towards Ms. Hunter, "As everybody know's are new student has to preform a song or if they have a video of some other time, they can show that."

I whirl around to look at Ms. Hunter, "I don't have anything to preform." I whisper to her... plus I don't even like to sing that much in front of others. I have absolutely know clue if I actually sound good. Like I sound different on a video so I have no clue how i actually sound!

" That's alright sweet heart, I saw the video of the sing off that got you into this school on YouTube. I must say I am ecstatic to have such a lovely voice in my class. I can show them the video instead if you would like." I can sing or I can let a video sing for me. Hmm, I wonder which one i'm going to chose. Please tell me you got all the sarcasm.

"Yes please!" I scurry on back up to my seat. I look to see her about to click on my video and i slam my head down on the table. I can hear Jenna singing and i hear shout coming from the room ' dude, she sucks' or ' my ears are bleeding.' I hear my name announced and i start to slid down into my desk, until only my eyes and up is showing.

You shout it out

But I can't hear a word you say

I'm talking loud not saying much

I'm criticized

But all your bullets ricochet

Shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bullet proof nothing to loose

Fire away, Fire away

Ricochet you take your aim

Fire away, fire away

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

You shoot me down but I won't fall

I am titanium

I look over to Thalia who looks like she's rocking out in her set. Everybody else has their jaw dropped. The song ends and the whole room is dead silent. then all of sudden Thalia screams, "You are good at singing I thought so last night but i was also have asleep!" I smile at her about to reply when the room fills with cheers and applause.

"Well that was a great way to kick off class, next up is are beloved Half-Blood Boys!"

Percy, Frank, Leo, Jason, and Nico all stand up. They walk over tot he little stage and hop on.
