Chapter 1: Annabeth

I couldn't believe it. I was actually going to be attending high school with my boyfriend Percy Jackson, along with other campers.

This year would definitely be interesting.

I sighed as I tripped myself in my gray converse on the steps to the front doors of Goode High.

A few girls snickered as they glided up the steps in their high heels.

I rolled my eyes as I brushed myself off.

"You okay?" a girl asked.

I looked up into her brown orbs. "Yeah. Thanks." I smiled.

She grinned. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Janessa Ryans."

"Annabeth Chase." we shook hands.

"Come on." she said. "I'll show you around."

~#~#~#~#~#~

"Whoah. This is amazing." I looked around the inside of the school.

The blue and white tiled checkered floor matched the blue and white lockers.

Posters advertising STUCCO sign-up and Season One sports sign-up sheets dotted the walls.

Fans and Welcome Back banners hung from the ceiling.

Students of all kind mingled and mulled around the hallway. Slut students. Jock students. Nerd students. Ugly students.

And a whole variety of other types of students.

Janessa and I squeezed our way through to get to the office.

Then all of a sudden the hallway activity became quiet.

Janessa got quiet too and practically shoved me towards the wall.

I glared at her as she pointed to the front doors.

"What the Hades was that for?" I demanded.

Janessa gave me a weird look then whispered, "Look by the front doors. The Clam Clan is about to make an entrance. And if you don't act cool, they'll do something that will humiliate you."

I rolled my eyes as I looked to where Janessa was pointing. A group of five girls were standing by the front doors, fluffing their hair or analyzing each others' outfits.

And I hate to admit this, but they all looked very pretty.

They didn't seem to have any makeup on, which was shocking. Normally "popular girls" like them would put so much makeup on that they would look like clowns from a cheap school circus.

But these girls had natural beauty.

I seemed to get quieter as they began to make an entrance.

The leader walked in the middle, with two girls on either side of her. The leader was a beautiful brunette with cold blue eyes.

Her hair was down and in perfect ringlets, so the curls bounced up and down as she walked. She wore heeled pink sandals, dark wash cuff capris, and a frilly pink blouse.

Her neck was littered with gold chains, and her wrists jingled from her dangles. Her skin glowed and her teeth were blinding white, like Apollo's.

The girl to her right was just as beautiful. She was a gorgeous red-head with bright brown eyes. Her wavy hair was up in a ponytail with a black rose headband. She wore silver wedge heel toes, black lacy leggings, and a silver glitter tank-top.

A black scarf was wrapped around her neck, and silver dangles covered her left wrist. The girl to the leader's far right was a blonde with icy, cruel blue eyes.

All she had was pink on. A pink frilly layered skirt that barely reached the middle of her thighs, pink flats that shimmered, a lacy pink long-sleeve with Love Pink in white lettering, a fluffy pink scarf, and a lacy bangle bracelet. Her hair was crimped with two bobby pins holding one side of her hair back.

Even though she had a cold smile and an evil glint in her eyes, she looked more flawless than her leader.

The girl to the left of the leader was dressed in lime green and white. She had a striped green and white blouse on, green tights, and calf-thigh flat boots that were white and glowed in the Sun. She had a green plaid scarf on, and a wrist of white dangles.

Her black hair was in a braid over her shoulder and her grey eyes darted around the hallway, as if she was choosing on who to make fun of next. The girl to the far left of the leader looked nervous.

She had curly brown hair and dull brown eyes. Her hair was in a ponytail over her left shoulder. She had no jewelry on, (except earrings) and she wore eyeliner and eye shadow. I figured that she was nervous on what her leader would do since she dressed differently according to how the leader and the other girls dressed similarly. Even the poor girl's outfit looked different.

She had dark wash skinny jeans, a peach colored blouse that was frilly around her upper chest area, and black flats.

She also had a pair of owl earrings on, which I thought were cute, and I was wearing a similar pair.

"The leader's name is Amanda Thompson. The girl to her right is Kristen Gregory. (A/N: The Clique reference. I don't own that series.) The girl to her far right is Alicia Hamilton. The girl to her left is Taylor Hall. The girl to her far left is Claire Anderson. And they are the meanest, most stuck up group of girls to ever exist." Janessa whispered to me as the girls approached the jocks, who must have came in from another door.

As Janessa looked at the popular guys, her eyes softened and she got a dreamy look on her face. Her eyes were on a a black-haired boy with his back turned to us, he was leaning against a locker.

He said something and the jocks laughed while the girls giggled and looked at him with admiration.

"What's his name?" I elbowed Janessa playfully. "His name is Percy Jackson." she said dreamily.

My heart stopped. Then I took a deep breath. "Continue." I said slowly.

"He has the most gorgeous pair of eyes ever. They're a rich sea green that you could get lost in forever. He's even nice to me, but it sucks that he supposedly has a girlfriend from California who is oh so perfect. Ugh. He makes her sound like a queen or something. She's probably a piece of dirt who's paying him to fake date her." she rolled her eyes as I got control of my anger.

She's just a foolish mere mortal. I thought to myself. A foolish girl. That's all. No harm. I'm fine.

I watched as Percy and his jock friends made their way over to us. "Hey Janes-" Percy's eyes widened as he saw me standing in front of him.

"Annabeth?" he asked.

"Hey, Seaweed Brain." I smirked as he squeezed me in a tight hug. "I missed you so much!"

I glanced at Janessa, who was red with anger.

What the Hades is her problem?

Ah. I love cliffhangers, don't you? They're so much fun to write.

Well hello guys.

I'm Annalise, I'm not new to FanFiction but this is my first story. Reviews and constructive criticism are welcome.

And I just updated this chapter. I saw a mistake at the end and freaked and was like, "I better fix that!"

I'm majorly OCD.

Reviews would be so awesome, my goal is three!
