Sorry, I haven't been able to post lately 'cuz I had my exams... Now that they're over I'll be posting everyday! Thanks for the follows and reviews and the encouragement... Now I'll stop talking and start the story...

"Good morning, class!" said a man walking into the classroom with brisk steps. "I am going to be your Chemistry teacher." Silence ensued and people began going to their benches.

The teacher continued,"My name is . Edward Price. I assume that most of you are new here and would like to be introduced. Hence, I declare this lecture as an introduction lecture and classes will begin from next Saturday." Hazel gave a smile and a few of the boys cheered, throwing up their hands and screaming,"Yay!"

"Silence, now. We will begin with the first row next to the window. You, boy, start." Mr. Price pointed to a boy sitting on the first bench, first row.

The boy stood up and said,"My name is Will Johnson"

"What are your hobbies?" questioned Mr. Price.

"Well, nothing really. I like to play computer games and yeah, cricket."

nodded and said,"Next."

Another boy with jet black hair and sea green eyes stood up and said,"My name is Percy Jackson. My hobbies are swimming and reading, sometimes."

Annabeth seemed strangely distracted by this guy. He was handsome and cute and his eyes were her favourite colour of green. SHe looked into those eyes, which were flooding with doubt as soon as their owner said "Reading". Annabeth immediately understood that he was merely trying to impress the teachers and the others, but she couldn't help a got a nudge from Hazel and turned back to see her with a puzzled expression on her face.

"What?" said Annabeth.

"Nothing. I just wanted to know why you were smiling. Nobody cracked a joke."

"Oh."said Annabeth, her face turning a bit red. "Oh, nothing. I was just reminded by a joke I read before." She flushed even more at this lie and turned away from Hazel, who was looking doubtfully at her. "I- I see. Well, if you say so."

Meanwhile, the next few people in the first row had been introduced. Now it was the turn of the second.

Annabeth stood up and began confidently,"My name is Annabeth Chase and my hobbies solely include reading books. I just love them."

smiled and said,"Oh, so two of our students like reading. Well, good. I thought almost no one of this generation liked reading." Both Annabeth and Percy flushed at this statement.

It was Hazel's turn now and she stood up introducing herself and sharing her hobbies. Annabeth became aware of a pair of eyes staring at her and she turned her head to see Percy staring at her. Just as quick, Percy whipped his head o and then at the window, turning a bright shade of red.

Annabeth shook her head. Snap out of it, she told herself. She couldn't afford to be distracted. She had to stay focused on her studies and not on boys and crushes and love. Not necessarily in that order.

By the time she had landed back in reality, her friends had done introducing themselves. A scrawny, tall boy with black hair stood up and said,"Leo Valdez. Hobbies are making things from other... well, things." which caused a wave of laughter.

looked interested. "Things... you mean robots and stuff like that?"

"Yeah, well, sort of."

"That's good to know. Keep it up."

"Thanks, Sir."

Another tall boy with square shoulders stood up. He started, "I like practicing archery and well... that's about it. Watching sports, also."

nodded. A boy with ghostly pale skin, black hair and large black eyes stood up. "My name is Nico di Angelo. Well, I like to play football and well... yeah that's it." His eyes were flickering desperately as if he couldn't decide what to say.

He is lying, thought Annabeth. But there's no reason to lie.

Two more boys introduced themselves and then two girls. A boy stood up and introduced himself as Jason. He had blonde hair and startling blue eyes that reminded you of the skies.

Annabeth looked behind and caught Piper staring at Jason with a dreamy expression on her face. She snapped her fingers in front of Piper's face. Piper seemed to get back to reality with a jerk.

"What? What is it?" she stuttered.

Hazel laughed. Piper just stared at her and then looked at Annabeth."Okay.. so what's the joke?" Annabeth shrugged. So did was still hysterical with silent laughter.

Mr. Price stared after her."Are you okay, Miss Levesque?"

"Yes.. yes, Sir. I'm okay. I just got a bit... excited. I'm fine." Mr. Price nodded and continued the introductions. The four girls remained silent until the Chemistry teacher left having declared a break.

Hazel started laughing again and was immediately surrounded by three indignant faces of Piper, Reyna and Annabeth.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" asked Reyna. "You saw Piper and cracked up. What's up?"

Hazel calmed down a bit and said, with a smirk on her face,"That was the second time I saw someone ho was staring at a boy today, with such a dreamy expression on her face. I couldn't help laughing at how cliché this was."

Piper turned a deep shade of red."I wasn't staring. I was just-"

"Noticing how he looked," interrupted Hazel."Yeah, right"

"Who was the first anyway?" asked Reyna.

"Why don't you ask the girl sitting next to me?" replied Hazel.

Now it was Annabeth's turn to blush."No I didn't! I just-" protested Annabeth.

"Yea, yea we know. Got a little carried off with the guy with messy, black hair, huh? That's okay. I understand."

"Guy with messy black hair? You mean Percy? Yeah, well he's-"

Reyna's voice was interrupted by a deep, yet playful voice. On looking up, the four girls found themselves looking at Percy Jackson.
