This is my new Percy Jackson fanfiction :D

~Chapter 1~

Annabeth Chase hated Percy Jackson.

She hated everything about him, from his dark, tousled hair to his faithful army of jocks and squealing girls who trailed behind him in the hallway.

Heck, she even hated the way he was walking towards her now, with his backpack slung casually over his shoulder, and his arms around his daily girl.

"Hey, Chase! I've got a present for you"

He took his arm off the blonde's shoulder. She pouted and pecked him on the cheek.

Annabeth felt like puking. Everyday, Percy had his arms around a girl, but everyday the girl was different.

Percy reached into his bag and pulled out a few sheets.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and stood up right in front of Percy and crossed her arms.

"What is it?"

He shoved the pages to her. It was his Maths homework.

He turned to look at his jocks, snickering, and they all guffawed and laughed loudly in response.

She smiled sweetly, scrunched up the sheets and dropped them to the ground at his feet.

Percy returned Annabeth's smile and said in a mock-sympathetic voice, "Aww, Bethy, how could you! That was your Christmas present!"

Normally, Annabeth would have come up with some snappy comeback, but she stepped back hastily and her eyes flickered uneasily towards his. The girls behind him were swooning and smirking.

"Bethy" had always been his nickname for her, back when they were still friends and inseparable. They would lie in the strawberry fields at Camp and tell each other stories until Annabeth fell asleep. She would always wake up in bed in the Athena cabin, tucked safely under the blankets.

"Yo, you still on Earth?"

She stopped daydreaming with a start and glared at Percy.

Yep, those days were long gone.

"Where else would I be, Kelp Head?" she retorted.

The jocks behind Percy laughed and fist-bumped each other with comments like "You just gonna take that?" and "Burnnn"

Annabeth rolled her eyes. High school boys were idiots.

Percy gritted his teeth and leaned forward gingerly.

"You look mental. Too much homework?"

Annabeth frowned and smiled sweetly back at him.

"All the more reason not to do yours too, Jackson"

He pouted. "But remember, you always used to help me-" he said.

Annabeth's eyes widened. What was he doing- taking a trip down memory lane?

Percy sighed and wiped a fake tear from his eyes. "I'm dyslexic, and you won't even help me out"

Annabeth squinted her eyes in confusion.

"I don't know if you turned braindead overnight or something but I'm dyslexic too. Get one of your slaves to do your homework, fish boy"

The bell rang but no one in the group heard. Everyone was stuck to the heated argument in the hallway.

"Seriously, Chase. If you just turned away from your studies, you might actually get a life"

Annabeth tilted her head dangerously to the side. Both sides, including all the jocks, knew that Annabeth had a pretty solid social life.

"If I were you, Jackson, I'd shut my mouth"

Percy leaned closer and his face was dangerously near.

"Or what?" he whispered.

She smirked and inched even closer.

Just when it seemed like their faces couldn't get any closer, Annabeth tilted her head and whispered in his ear,

"Or the next thing coming out will be your teeth"

Annabeth kneed him in the stomach, hard.

She moved back, smirking as he groaned on the floor and grabbed her things to head to class.

She looked over her shoulder and smiled at Percy's shocked face.

As she was making her way towards Math class, she heard his jock friends whispering behind her.

"She's so hot, man"

"If you don't tap that, I will"

"I like 'em feisty"

Their comments continued all the way to Maths class, and just when she was about to open the classroom door, she heard Percy whisper back,

"Don't talk about her like that"

~Percy Jackson & The Olympians~

"You are late"

Annabeth, Percy and a few of his jock friends slipped into maths class a few minutes after the bell rang.

She straightened her clothes and pulled her hair away from her face.

"I'm sorry, Ms Griffet", she said, a little shocked because she hadn't heard the bell.

Percy and his friends snickered.

He stepped forward next to Annabeth and hung his head in mock sadness. "Yeah, Ms, we're really sorry. I promise you it won't happen again" he said with a hidden smirk.

Ms Griffet huffed, but it was obvious that she was secretly pleased. She pinned back a strand of greying hair. All the teachers had a soft spot for Percy, because of his charm and Annabeth, for her intelligence.

"Well, if you promise...I didn't expect all that much from them-", she said, jerking a thumb towards the jocks, who were now having arm-wrestling matches, "but I certainly expected more from you two, Miss Chase and Mr Jackson. I'm disappointed. Why are you so late?"

Percy smirked widely and tilted his head towards Annabeth and gave her a knowing look. "Me and Annabeth got a little carried away. She's a wild little thing"

Annabeth elbowed him in the stomach and was rewarded with a sharp intake of breath. Ms Griffet turned pink and shook her head hastily, as if that could erase what he just said. She wiped her glasses in one quick motion and gestured towards the spare seats. "Take a seat then, you two. Boys, boys! Stop your silly wrestling and sit down!"

Annabeth's eyes travellled across the room for a good seat. Her best friend, Thalia Grace, was motioning to her. She waved for Annabeth to sit next to her, and made kissy-kissy motions at her, pointing at Percy. Annabeth rolled her eyes and hurried over.

As usual, Thalia was wearing a black t-shirt that read Die, Barbie, Die with a graphic picture of a chainsaw and blood. Her nails were painted black, and she fingered her skull bracelet.

Just as she was about to say hi, Ms Griffet called out, "Late students, come up and give me your homework"

Annabeth walked back up between the desks and handed her teacher the maths sheets.

She turned around and smirked at Percy who was looking at her. Instead of looking worried like she expected, he just grinned calmly at her and strolled up to the teacher's desk.

"Where's your homework, Mr Jackson?"

Percy put on his sad-face and gave a theatrical sniff. He lifted his hands dramatically, and dropped them again.

"I'm sorry, I really am, Ms Griffet. I finished my homework and everything but this morning when I was talking to Annabeth, she took it from my hand and-"

Annabeth's eyes widened and she pushed back to the front to silence him but-

"she ripped it up and threw it to the ground"

Annabeth stormed up and thumped him on the shoulder. Hard.

"Did you say something, Jackson?"

She turned to Ms Griffet, who was looking at her from over her glasses. A sure sign that she was in serious trouble.

"I swear I didn't, Ms Griffet"

Her teacher wasn't hearing any of it, though.

She held up a hand to silence them, and the class also went silent, watching what was unfolding in front of them like a reality TV show.

Ms Griffet nodded at them.

"I understand now. That is why you two were late? Because poor Mr Jackson was trying to salvage his wrecked homework."

Annabeth opened her mouth to protest, but she was silenced again.

"Looks like detention will have some new faces"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Percy pump his fist.

Ms Griffet finished her sentence. "Both of you", she said severely.

Percy's jaw dropped and Annabeth smirked.

He turned on her. "This is all your fault. I have swim practice today"

She tensed up. "My fault? I have track today. Who cares about swimming anyway, Kelp head?"

They kept yelling until eventually the whole class divided into two sides.

The classroom was in uproar and arms were flying around everywhere.

Out of nowhere, a piercing whistle deafened the entire room.

Everyone turned to Miss Griffet who was lying on the ground, her glasses knocked aside and her hair a mess, her whistle still in her mouth.

"THAT IS IT. MR JACKSON AND MISS CHASE. GO TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE IMMEDIATELY"

How was the first chapter? I know it was really intense and everything and nothing made sense, but this chapter was mostly for setting the scene. The next chapters will be better. That's a Pinky Promise :P
