"What time is it?" he glanced up from his phone, "6:45, which means you have 15 minutes to get to school." Helens going to be so mad. I only have 15 minutes to get home, get dress, and get to school. "thanks for last night but I go to go." I say while running towards the stairs and grabbing my purse. "we can drive you home if you want?" Percy yelled. ha I'll do that once we become demigods and have to hold up the sky. "um, no thank you." I was out the door before I could hear him reply.

"who do you think you are, leaving this house!" " well I know my names Annabeth and I know you don't own me Helen." before running up the stairs. I walk pass my mirror but then turn back around to look in it. I forgot I was still wearing Percy's clothes ( or that's who I think it it) that were to big for me. my hair was in tangles and I and a few minor cuts that were healing up fast thanks to Percy. I walk away from the mirror toward my closet. I garb a gray tank top with a black heart on it, jean shorts, black high tops, and a few spiked bangles. I brush my hair out and brush my teeth before heading downstairs. I grab and apple of the counter and run outside towards school.

I made it to school with 5 minutes to spare (thank you track). I was going to meet up with Thalia and Piper but decided against it besides I would see them in homeroom. I walkup to my locker and put the combination in. the door swung open and I only and enough time to close my eyes as a vibrant ball of paint hurtled at me. The explosion of the paint on my skin felt like cool water dowsing every microfiber of my clothes and skin.

I take a deep breath and turn around, walking towards the little red she devil. You are so lucky I listen to my step mom or else I would punch you in the nose. So then your going to need to get another plastic surgery done Rachel." I hiss at her and stalk off towards the locker room in hope fro my clean gym clothes.

Rachel pov.

I watch as Annie stalks of toward the locker room and cant help myself to let out a laugh. If she thought that was bad then I cant wait till she see's her new gym clothes. I just love torturing her. She could of been popular but instead decided to defy me and stick with those little losers she calls friends. so she gets tortured, because nobody and I mean nobody defies me. OH I just cant wait to see her, she will look fat and ugly I bet. She will be so uncomfortable , it will be priceless. Plus I heard that we are having around 25 hot guys that are a little older than us, and she will just make a great first impression.

Annabeth pov.

I knew that little red head was evil but not to this point. I look like a slut, even more that Rachel is on a daily bases. I already checked Thalia and Piper's gym lockers but they were empty, they probably took theirs home to wash. I look every were but I couldn't find any spare clothes for me to wear beside the ones with paint on them, and I would get in trouble for tracking pint into the school hallways. sometimes I wish my school had a better policy on clothing all it is, is that you must wear a shirt, shoes, any form of pants. But this is technically clothing, but I would just call it pieces of fabric.

I looked at my self in the mirror and saw my neon orange shirt that usually goes down to mid thigh hardly covers my bra now and has large horizontal cuts in the back. my old black shorts are now very short shorts, and finally she decided to replace my gym shoes with a pair of 6 inch heels.

So basically there was more skin showing than clothing in my body. How could she be this low. I plopped onto the ground and sighed. Why do I put up with this, it never ends. I could punch them but then that would piss Helen off and then im really in trouble.

I stand up and look I the mirror. Rachel does this to embarrass me so you know what im going to embrace it. Im going to walk out their with confidence, because no matter how hard she try's she's not going to win. not this time. besides I actually look good in this, you know ignoring the part where I look like a slutty Barbie. The orange of the shirt bring s out the color of my eyes and my stomach is tone and flat from all the working out I do.

I take a deep breath then smile shoving the door open. She is not going to win, not now, not ever.

I push my homeroom door open and watch as eyes pop out and jaws drop. I would of laughed at the expressions if the boys didn't have a glint in their eyes that made my stomach lurch. As I walk towards my set I see Rachel with a look of pure venom being pointed at me. I just smile at her a sit next to Thalia and Piper. I give them a look that say that I will tell them later. I turn back around towards the teacher as her drones on and on about information that I already know.

when the bell rings I get up from my set and try to get to the door and hurry up to class so that everybody doesn't see me like this. within seconds im being blocked from the crowed by Thalia and Piper telling them about what happened with Rachel, while trying to ignore the wolf whistles. "jeez that's just messed up," piper says while Thalia of course reply's, " I swear im going to bash her head into a locker." " Thal's we both know you cant do that our your going to get dispended. you already have like 9 marks one more and then your done. anyways let just finish the year clean and happy, it cant be that hard we only have like 3 weeks left." if only I knew.

as we walked towards social studies the crowed parted way for use and the chatter was replaced with whistling and whispering "hey hot stuff, you me the janitors closet!" I turned toward him and shot him a withering glare. "only a few more hours." I sigh.

Percy pov.

I watched as Ethan strolled over tot he gang," he guys I just saw the schools slut, were going to make out in the janitors closet later. Man you should of seen her tan and blond curls she looked so hot. and don't get me started on clothe-" "wait, did you see the color of her eyes?" Nico asked as we shared a look. ''dude, why would I look at her eyes when I can loo-." "it cant be you guys you saw how she was this morning it cant be her." Leo said while Jason shook his head agreeing. "what are you guys worrying about?" asked Malcolm. "the whole reason were here, Annabeth Chase." "so there is a chance that this girl were planning to recruit, is the girl im planning on making out with." I roll my eyes." not the point, were here so you guys can see if she would be a good addition to the gang. Alright lets go over the plan."

Annabeth pov.

Thalia, piper, and I walked into the gym locker room so they can change. while they changed I checked my locker to see if my clothing was put back in there, but of course there was no luck. "Oh Annie, I forgot to mention there are going to be tons of hot guys in the gym today, and I cant wait until you make fun of your self." "unlike you Rachel im not desperate so I honestly don't care what they think about me." and I stalk put of the locker room.

The girls and I sit down at the top of the bleachers and watch as students pile into the gym like little ants. "I wonder what were going to do today?" "knowing Coach Hedge were probably going to do sort of painful exercise." we all laugh at Thalias answer because its completely true. Coach Hedge is absolutely in love with violence, so when people come into teach the class, you leave with bruises.

"Alright cupcakes listen up, today I have some of my old cupcakes who graduated last year. They have came today to teach you all about fighting and how to defend yourself. they are great at what they do and I cant wait to see you all make fools of yourself." I cant help but to laugh at Coach. there movement in the left side of the gym and see around 25 guys. I gasp "now I care." I mumble. A familiar man with midnight black hair, that is so messy it looks like he never brushed it, and yet it make him look even hotter. "Hey seniors, my name is Percy Jackson and im here with my gang of friends to teach you combat." I heard the under tone when he said gang. These people are actually his gang, there's a gang in my school! "you never now when you may get jumped or get stuck in the middle of a sticky situation, so we think its best to show this to you. Before we start is there any questions?" he asked the wrong question. "are you single" or "are you a good kisser?" He just chuckles a says "Im flattered, really but im not looking for a girlfriend, and im a great kisser," as he winks at some crowd of girls.

"Alright so were going to start out by a little game. I want to see how many and how long it will take you to lose. see this huge mat, if you step out of it your out. But that will be hard because this mat is quite big. the object of this game is to beat every one of us, I promise you we will not go easy on you even if your weak. You will start off with one of my friends. You have to knock them out, get them to tap, or get them out of the map. The same will go for you. Another person will come at you, sometimes there will be up to 4 people attacking you. If you can take themall down you get to face me but nobody has ever came close to defeting all of them. no killing and no weapons. So who wants to go first?" only one hand goes up and of course its the air head foot ball player, Luke Castellan.

"I will because I know I can bet all of you." I look at all the gang members face's and they all hold a smirk. "Alright scar face step on up." I let out a laugh, I haven't heard of that one yet. Luke walks up to the mat and Leo stands in front of him. "Go!" Percy yelled. I put a huge grin on my face because only I and Coach Hedge actually know that there is no way for Luke to win.

Luke runs foreword but Leo sidesteps and trips Luke. Luke goes flying, and giggle into my hand. Leo skips over to Luke like a little girl and kick him in the side. Leo sat down on him and started to sing "girl on fire" while Luke struggled underneath him. "Leo stop messing with him," Percy sighed. "Fine, fine. So Percy after this can we go get Mexican food?" "We ate that yesterday." Leo grabbed Luke's foot and started to drag him toward the edge of the mat. "uhg will you stop squirming!" Leo kicked Luke for a good measure and picked him body up and threw off the mat.

By then I can hardly breath because im laughing so hard. im gasping for air as tears slide down my face. Finally the jerk get's what he deserves. Once I calm down I get up from the ground and sit back down noticing all the stares direct toward me. I look around and notice Percy, Nico, Jason, and Leo all have huge grins on their faces and their looking directly at me. crap!

"Hey Annabeth do you wan to come down here and show them what you can do?" ask Percy innocently. I look down at my clothes and then back at him, "uh...no, no im good!" Then Nico yells up "come on your going to have to come down one way or another, and honestly I don't feel like carrying you down a set of stairs!" he yells up. "Do I have to? please because I really don't want to!" I yell back down. they can not see me in these clothes I mean Percy and his gang and just ...uhg...stupid Rachel! "she's just to scarred because of her clothing aren't you Annie!" yelled Rachel with a smirk. " well if you think you won, think again!" I shout to her and stand up from the bleachers. I flip her off as I walk down the steps in my high heels.

"Don't get me wrong you look hot, but what the hell are you wearing? Scratch that what are you not wearing?" Percy ask once im in range of him and his gang. "looking good Chase!" Leo yells even though he's like a foot away. "how about I tell you after class." "hey wait, were supposed to make out in the janitors closet after school!" I send a discussed look towards the man, "first of all patchy the pirate, I never agreed, and second of all eww." I turn towards Percy who is trying to hold in his laughter "I opened my locker this morning out came a ball of paint ruining my clothes so I had to change. A little she devil decided to give my clothes a make over and now I look like I make out with random guys in the janitors closet." I mumble the last part. I look up to see the whole gang starring at me. '"What?" "high school girls are viscous."

"Are you going to kick her sorry butt or what?!" Luke yells. "So since I know you, you can pick who you want to fight first." my eyes scan over patchy the pirate. "you patchy the pirate." he just smirks and walks closer. "lets make it interesting. you win I'll leave you alone, I win we make out in the closet." I smile "your on." he walks toward the mat and I take off my high heels. I walk toward Percy and shove them into his arms "hold these, oh and thanks I cant wait to make him feel pain." I wink at him and walk on the mat.

Percy pov.

I laugh at the deal those 2 made. honestly Ethan is going to lose. "She Is going to squash him like a bug." Leo says to know one in particular. right when Ethan gets on the mat Annabeth turns back around and starts to take of her shoe's. once she's close she shoves them into my hands and says "Hold these, oh and thanks, I cant wait to make him feel pain." She then turns around and skips toward the mat.

"Oh the big bad gang leader is whipped by a girl younger than him." I turn towards Nico and shove her shoes into his arms. " Im not whippe-" "Percy another person need to go in." Malcolm said. I looked over and saw that Ethan was outside the circle unconscious. "Really Chase? I would like to have a conversation with people here!" she started to mimic a fake cry calling me a baby.

" She did not just call me a baby! Nico,Jason, Frank, and Leo get in there." ha she's going down, those are my best fighters. All of sudden Frank and Jason are already off the mat. "How?! It hasn't even been a minute!" I yell to no one I particular. "The rest of you hop in every time somebody is out." I command. nobody has ever gotten this far. I watched as she fought her movements as graceful as a dancer. swaying from foot to foot with out ease.

"Oh percyyy!" a singsong voice calls. I look over and see that everybody has been defeated,. Some bloody others unconscious.
