Annabeth's Pov:

I just stayed there lying in his strong arms for a moment after the boy caught me staring into his mesmerizing green eyes. His arms were shaped with muscles. He had jet black hair that was messy but it suited him. We jut stood staring into each others eyes. I gently coughed, he looked away blushing. "Sorry, I can be so clumsy sometimes," said the boy. "I'll help you with your books. I'm Percy Jackson by the way." And your name is... ?" He asked as he bent down to help me. "Annabeth Chase," I said with a smile. He was chivalrous unlike boys at my old school where I was teased for being a nerd. I took up sports like karate and other things so I now can defend myself. Well there was one boy who didn't... But that doesn't matter now. "I'm a new student here, I would ask you to show me where the office is but evidently you're in a hurry to go somewhere," I said teasingly. He blushed again. "No it's fine; I'll show you the office." said Percy.

_Line Break_

We started towards the office, there was an awkward silence. I tried to make small talk. "So where were you hurrying to?" I asked gently. "Erm nowhere really, "I looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Fine, it's a secret." He said mischievously. "Okay then," I replied. "So where are you from?" asked Percy. "San Francisco, California. We moved here because of my dad's job, he's a war professor." I told him. "My dad was a professor in Marine Biology; I guess inherited my love of water from him. That's why I was at school early, I was swimming." I didn't notice before but Percy's hair looked a bit wet. He was about to ask another question but we had arrived at the office. "Thanks for showing me the office Percy." "You're welcome Annabeth, so I'll see you around?" "Sure, see you!" I said with a wave. He turned around and headed in the opposite direction.
