Chapter 1

Annabeth's POV

I really needed to get a new alarm clock. I've had this one for ages, and now it just stops working when I need it the most. Today is extremely important.

I'm going to Goode High to see the most amazing person in the world- Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon, savior of Olympus, a total Seaweed Brain, and most importantly, my boyfriend.

I glanced at my stupid clock as I leaped out my bed. It was already 7:05. I had fifteen minutes to get ready and then another fifteen to get to his school. My school now. It started at 8:00, but I had to be there earlier. New girl and all.

I threw on the first things I could find in my suitcase. As soon as I had gotten to the hotel last night, I had been so tired I just crashed. I put on jean shorts, black high tops Converse, and a comfy black v-neck. I brushed my teeth with one hand and my hair with the other. I spat in the sink and grabbed a ponytail, tying my hair up into a knot as I ran to get my backpack. I swung it onto my back, then went to the safe. I turned the knob to the numbers I had set for it- 08-18. The day Percy and I had started dating, his birthday. I smiled as I remembered our kiss in the dining pavilion, then Clarisse and everybody throwing us in the lake. They had kept us close enough to hold hands. As soon as we entered the lake Percy made an air bubble around us and we just kept kissing. I had been smiling so much I could barely continue.

And, as Percy put it, it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.

I shook my head. No more daydreaming for me. The tumbler clicked and the safe swung open. I grabbed my Yankee's cap, which could keep me invisible when I wore it, shoved it in my back pocket, and then picked up my bronze knife. It brought up bad memories, but I didn't dare use a new one. I didn't want to. This one felt right when I used it. I strapped it to my waist with the leather cord belt. I put the key to my hotel room into my backpack, and ran out the door.

I burst out into the hallway, and ran for the stairs. The elevators took too long, and I didn't have time to spare. I ran down the empty stairwell, one flight after another. Finally, I was in the lobby. I walked calmly to the door, checking my watch. It was… 1:81? Wait no. 7:18. Sometimes I really hate dyslexia.

I walked out the lobby doors into the hustle of the New York City streets, squinting against the bright sunlight. I pulled my curly blonde hair from its messy knot, combing through it with my fingers, and braided it back so it would stay out of my way. I tied the elastic around the ends of my thick hair and laid it across my shoulder.

I started to run, I really didn't want to be late. Goode was only five blocks from here. Letting my mind wander, I started to think about Percy. I hadn't told him anything about my transferring- I really wanted to surprise him. I had run through possible scenarios in my head until I realized what was happening and yelled at Aphrodite to stop.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice that I had reached Goode until I saw Percy get out of the car. I had just started to turn the corner but turned around and pressed my back flat against the brick wall of the building next to me. I peeked my head around the corner to watch him enter the school building, talking to someone and laughing. Although I was far away I could hear his laugh. I smiled as the doors swung shut.

I crossed the street and marched up the stairs, my head held high. I wasn't going to let anybody ruin this day.

I pulled open the door and walked inside. Not a lot of people were there yet, so I was surprised. Percy Jackson early? The thought was laughable.

I found the office pretty easily. The lady at the desk looked nice enough.

"Excuse me?" I asked. The lady looked up. "My name's Annabeth Chase. I'm new here."

The lady nodded knowingly. "Ah, Paul, I mean, Mr. Blofis told me. Well, here is your schedule and he said that you knew someone who went here who could show you around?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

She smiled. "Well, my name is Mrs. Clove if you need anything." I smiled back.

"Thank you. I guess I'll go find my friend." Boyfriend, I thought. That was still so weird.

I left the office and entered the hallway. I looked down at my schedule. Locker 413. I wandered around until I found it. More people had started coming in now, so I set my locker combination- again, 08-18, and put my books in.

When I was done, I turned around and tapped the shoulder of the person nearest to me. I needed to find Percy before I exploded from impatience. He turned around, and when he saw me he smiled.

"Hi. I was just wondering-?" I started, but he cut me off.

"You're new here, aren't you? You were wondering if I could show you around? Sure thing. I'm Josh." He was still smiling at me. The people he had been talking to were all staring at me.

I cleared my throat self-consciously. "Oh, well, my boyfriend goes here, he'll show me around. But thanks." The boy's face fell a little when I said 'boyfriend', while everyone else talked among themselves.

"His name's Percy Jackson," I added. Everyone stopped talking and stared at me. "What?"

One of the girls stepped around Josh and right in front of me. She looked at me with disgust. "You know, it's really sad that so many girls throw themselves at him, and claim to be his girlfriend. It's you're first day and you're already at it." Anger swelled up in me, raging.

"Girls throw themselves at him? And say they're his girlfriend?" I repeated, trying to keep my temper under control.

"Well, yeah. But he already has a mysterious girlfriend anyway, so don't even bother. Not that that stops some people."

Before I could point to myself and say Duh!, the girl continued.

"I mean, honestly, girls are so pathetic these days. Seriously. Percy Jackson is too good for some dumb blonde he's never even met." That does it. Nobody calls me a dumb blonde. My hand twitched towards my knife, but it would just pass through a mortal. Before I could reach up and smack her, Josh stepped in between us.

"Emily! Obviously things are getting out of hand. "Really? I hadn't noticed.

"I'll prove it." I turned on my heel and stalked off towards the nearest office, trying to keep my rage contained. I walked into the office and smiled.

"Can I make an announcement for Mr. Blofis?" I said cheerily. The man at the desk nodded and I walked over to the loudspeaker. Time to have some fun.
