ANNABETH'S POV

Ring! Ring!

My alarm clock rang. I bolted up in surprise. Gosh, every day must begin with a heart attack. I looked at my clock. 5:30. I slipped my feet onto the cold floor and I went into the bathroom. The second the hot water made contact with my skin, a rush of energy came to me and I was wide-awake. I wrapped my towel tightly around me, and I opened my closet door to look at a variety of clothing. It's not like a cared too much about the way I looked; I just wanted to look presentable. I couldn't decide on what to wear so I immediately grabbed my phone and texted my best friend, Brooke Haifa.

(Italics is Annabeth and Bold is Brooke)

Hey, what should I wear?

Shorts and t-shirt. It's not like we know anyone important

I laughed at my best friend's silly reply and changed into jean shorts and a loose t-shirt. I brushed my wet hair into a ponytail and slipped on black Converse. I ran down the stairs and grabbed a bagel off the counter. My dad was already downstairs reading the paper and eating a slice of toast.

"Hey honey. Why are you up early?"

I poured myself a glass of juice, "Brooke and I are touring the new juniors around campus before class."

My dad nodded. I gulped down my juice and ran upstairs to brush my teeth before I grabbed my stuff and ran out the door.

My walk to school was five minutes and I met up with Brooke who lived a block away from me.

"Hey!" I called to her. Brooke waved at me. Her long perfectly straight dirty blonde hair was in a perfect fishtail and she wore jean shorts and a plaid button down. She was pretty. Most people would expect her to be a cheerleader. Brooke, the star of the soccer team, was everything but a cheerleader. She was actually nice. I raced to catch up with her and she waited. We walked the rest of the way together talking about our summers. I was at camp. Brooke knew that. She could see through the Mist. That's how we met. I killed a hydra, and she witnessed it. That's right. I kill monsters to make friends. It was nice having a mortal friend who actually understood. We talked about Brooke's trip to the coffee shop and the bakery, just a few blocks away.

"It was a rush!" Brooke said, shaking her head in shame. "Seriously, how do you get to go to an awesome camp with Percy Jackson, who I still think should be your boyfriend, and I get to go to the cheap coffee shop with my little brothers."

"You're not the only ones with annoying little brothers!" I protested, thinking of Matthew and Bobby.

"I'm the only one that has to spend my entire summer with them."

I decided not to argue.

"So where is Percy going to school now? Didn't you say he got kicked out again?"

I nodded. "Yeah, he said he was going to some preppy school on the Upper East Side."

"We're on the Upper East Side."

"Don't get my hopes up Brooke!"

"So you admit that you want him here!"

I rolled my eyes. Brooke was practically obsessed with Percy. It seemed like her goal in life was for me to admit that I liked him, which I don't.

"Brooke, I think everyone wants their best friend to go to school with them."

"I do go to school with you."

"You're a mortal."

Brooke stopped in her tracks and covered her chest as if she'd been shot. "That's cold Annabeth. Plain cold."

We presumed walking and we were at Undervines High School in no time. We put our new binders in our lockers before heading to the office to meet some of the new students, when hands covered my eyes. I know the same thing happened to Brooke, because she yelped, "What the heck?"

"Guess who?" said two deep male voices. I thought for a moment. It was Jacob, Andy, Jack, or Ryan.

The Brooke asked her person a question. "Are you athletic?"

The voice gasped, "Is that even a question?" I immediately knew who it was. No one was that cocky and was athletic but Jacob.

"Jacob!"

I herd Brooke laugh, and I figured he gave her a wild hug from behind.

"Well," I declared, "no one else but Jack would be corny enough to do that, so my guess is Jack."

I could see light! Then Jack's impish grin on his face. He gave me a bear hug, released me, then Jacob lifted me up into a hug. I laughed.

"What are you guys doing here?" Brooke asked. "It's five fifty two!"

Jacob released me and replied, "We're touring the new kids with you!"

Brooke and I grinned. "What about Andy and Ryan?" I asked.

Jack snorted. "Mrs. Hillman hates those two! They offered to come, but Mrs. Hillman declared that only four people can tour."

I laughed. Mrs. Hillman, the school principal, hated Andy and Ryan. Not that I blame her. Andy and Ryan are the teacher's worst nightmare. They practically live at Mrs. Hillman's office.

We walked into the office where about twelve kids were lined up. Two current seniors and a junior were already there; ready to tour a few other kids.

"Okay. Miss. Annabeth Chase, you and Miss. Brooke Haifa will tour Miss. Rose Holland, Mr. Jake Aryans, and Miss. Lisa Fermi. Mr. Jacob Gorman, you and Mr. Jack Adams will tour Mr. Percy Jackson, Miss. Amy Toris, and Mr. Adam Brown." Mrs. Hillman announced. She continued on, and I was tongue-tied.

Brooke leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Mr. Percy Jackson?"

I nodded as I caught his eye. Percy looked shocked too. He made his way to me and I grinned. He looked good. Ugh! No, he isn't Annabeth. I silently scolded myself.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" he asked.

I scoffed. "Well, I go to school here. I'm guessing you're going to school here too?"

"Yeah. Um, hey."

I gave him a hug. "Hey! So, Jack and Jacob will be your guides."

"Oh, cool. Um, hi?"

I turned around and Brooke had come up behind me. "Oh! Percy, this is Brooke Haifa. Um, Brooke, this is Percy Jackson."

Brooke smiled and shook Percy's hand.

"Nice to meet you."
