I read through this chapter a little while ago, and decided it was too rushed and choppy. So I went through for a good four hours to edit it. Love you guys.

PJO = NOT MINE

I never thought I would ever be an Aphrodite girl, but today I, Annabeth Chase, was ecstatic to go to school. Yeah, I know. That isn't a big surprise for me. Although today, I was excited for a different reason. I was excited to see my boyfriend, Percy Jackson.

Of course he had no idea I was going to his school. I wanted it like that though. I was anticipating his reaction when he saw me.

I just hoped not too many girls were chasing after him. After all, he was just… just so perfect! There is no other way to put it 't tell him that though! His ego is big enough already...

Anyway, I knew Percy wasn't the type of guy who would cheat on me. Right?

~*O*~

I was almost at Goode. My dad was driving me. We pulled up to the front of the school.

"Bye Annie." My dad said as I opened the door to get out. I shot him a glare for the nickname, and threw a quick 'goodbye' over my shoulder. We were getting better. Spending more time together. Trying to be closer.

I climbed out of the car, closed the door, and made my way to the entrance of the building. As soon as the doors of the school were open, and I stepped inside, I was bombarded by groups of students. I automatically could pick out the different cliques: the 'populars', the 'geeks', the 'goth kids'…

As I walked on, I noticed the popular looking girls glaring at me. As if I wanted to be part of them anyway! On the other hand, the boys were all looking at me and whistling. I shot daggers at them. Boys are so stupid. Even Percy... especially Percy.

Pretty much everyone else ignored me. I wasn't complaining!

I will admit, I was sort of lost, so I went up to someone who looked like she was nice.

"Hi, I'm Annabeth. I'm new here. I was wondering if you could help me…" I said.

The girl eyed me as if she were reading what kind of person I was.

"Hi Annabeth," She answered after a few seconds. "If you're new then we should probably stop by the office. I'm Allie by the way."

I nodded in response.

I think we could be friends.

We weaved in between the crowd, with Allie leading of course. Eventually, we made it to the office. Allie opened the door to let me in.

As we walked in, I spotted a lady who was identified by her name plate that read Mrs. Callus. She looked over the paperwork on her desk, filling some of it out.

"Hello. I'm Mrs. Callus. You must be new here. I haven't seen you around here! Oh! You must be the new student Paul told us about." The lady said a bit too enthusiastically.

"It's Annabeth Chase." I told her back plainly. The corners of the lady's mouth bent down very slightly.

"Oh, okay. Here is your schedule, locker number, and a map. I see you have already met Allie Stephenson. She can be your tour guide! See you later!" Mrs. Callus said before turning her attention to paperwork located on her desk.

I sighed as Allie led the way out.

When Allie and I exited the comforting atmosphere of the office, she grabbed the papers in my hand.

"Hey, your locker is right next to mine. Oh, and another guy's. He's really cool. I think you guys will get along great." Allie told me.

I was curious.

"Oh. Okay. Who is this guy?"

"The most popular guy you will ever meet. He is really cute, don't tell my boyfriend I said that, he is funny, captain of the swim team, and he has a fan club. Literally. They have meetings and everything… it's pathetic actually.

I had a pretty good idea at this point.

"You seem to know a lot about him, are you good friends?" I questioned.

"Yeah. You could say that."

"Anyway, the classes are fairly easy. They offer a few foreign languages..." Allie continued talking about Goode.

Eventually, we reached our lockers. I already had my combination memorized, so I twisted the knob in my desired direction, and the small metal box opened.

I pulled pictures, and magnets out of my backpack. Allie watched my decorating.

"Oh! Here they come" Allie exclaimed as I closed my locker which I just finished personalizing.

I turned to the direction my friend was staring, and was pleasantly surprised.

Well, mostly.

When I looked, I saw a group of girls following a crowd of three.

The first person was a guy had straight, dark brown hair, and light blue eyes. The second person was a girl with naturally curly red hair, and Emerald eyes. She had a nice tan and looked like she was athletic. She was beautiful. No, that was an understatement. I felt self conscious just looking at her.

The person in the middle was the one and only, Percy Jackson. His hair was a usual mess, his eyes as gorgeous as ever. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt, and dark jeans along with a pair of grey Converse. He looked perfect as usual.

Too perfect. ILLEGAL perfect! Maybe piper was getting to me...

"Oh no you don't! He is taken." Allie exclaimed from next to me. I jumped at the sound of her voice, forgetting she was still next to me.

"Is he?" I asked innocently. I was glad to know Percy didn't lie about me. It was reassuring.

"Yeah. He says his girlfriend lives in California. Not many people believe him. Most people just think it's just to have a reason to say no to all the girls that ask him out. I am probably one of the only people that does believe him."

I felt anger course through my veins. I waited five years for that boy! They barely knew him! I huffed out my sudden irritation.

I looked back at Percy, and my anger disappeared.

I needed a grand entrance... He couldn't see me just yet.

Without thinking, I slipped into the group of fan girls.

I glanced over at Allie, who was just giving me an 'are you crazy' look. I smiled reassuringly at her.

I made my way to the front of the group earning a lot of glares.

I tapped Percy's shoulder.

"Just a second." Percy threw over his shoulder. He made it quite obvious that he had no intention of turning around anytime soon.

I narrowed my eyes at his back. So that didn't work.

Plan 'B'.

"Perseus Jackson, I know you did not just say that to me?" I questioned loud enough for him to hear.

He abruptly stopped walking.

"No... It isn't..." Percy trailed off in thought

I crossed my arms until he turned around. When he saw me, he grinned ear to ear.

"Oh my gods, it is you!" He exclaimed.

Suddenly the hallway grew silent. I looked around. Everyone was watching us.

Great...

"Perce, mind explaining?" The girl next to Percy asked. She pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Oh, yeah Caitlyn, Andrew, this is my very REAL not IMAGINARY girlfriend Annabeth." Percy introduced, as he pulled out of our embrace, and intertwined our hands.

I turned to look at the other two people. Andrew had his hand intertwined with Allie. So I took a wild guess to say that was her boyfriend.

I gave everyone a warm smile. Literally everyone.

"Ha! Andrew you owe me twenty bucks!" Caitlyn laughed, breaking the silence.

"Whatever" Andrew defended.

Caitlyn rolled her eyes. "So Annabeth. It's nice to meet you," Caitlyn said with a smile on her face. "I would love to get to know you a little more, but I'm going to be late for class. Talk to you later!" She finished as Andrew and her started arguing again. Allie was close beside Andrew.

"This is going to be a fun day." I told Percy as I leaned closer to him.

"It will be now." Percy said as he continued towards his locker. Dragging me behind.

"Perseus Jackson you must be the cheesiest person I have ever met!" I exclaimed with a chuckle.

He smiled at my comment.

"So you're really close to Caitlyn?" I asked changing the subject. "She is really pretty." I said just to see his response.

"Yeah. She is."

"Oh really? On a scale of one to ten."

"I don't know...?" He said as he opened his locker.

I looked up at him.

"Why does it matter?" he asked.

That was percy as clueless as ever.

"No reason." I sighed.

He smiled at me before kissing me lightly.

"Can I see your schedule?" he asked pulling away.

I handed it to him.

"We have half or so of our classes together." He mumbled.

I smiled at that fact.

Percy grabbed his needed books out of his locker.

"Come on let's go. We have Paul first, and I know he wants to see you." Percy told me.

Percy grabbed my hand again.

I let him lead me down the hall to his step-father's classroom.

When we got there, the door was open so we walked inside.

"Annabeth! I see you found Percy!" Paul exclaimed when he saw us.

"Wait?! You knew she was coming here?" Percy asked.

Paul smiled guiltily and nodded.

I placed a calming hand on Percy's chest and looked up at him.

"I asked both your parents not to tell you. I wanted everything to be a surprise." I confessed.

Percy didn't say anything, but let go of my hand.

"Kids, go have a seat. Annabeth, I'm afraid the only seat available is next to Percy..."

I laughed.

Paul talked to me about the move, school, camp... We went on and on while Percy played with a strand of my hair, occasionally giving his two cents.

RIIIIIIIINNNGG

Percy led us to our seats. They were all grouped in pairs.

Class started a couple minutes later, after everyone filed in.

I tried to listen as Paul talked.

It was kinda boring though. I already knew everything. Plus when I did try to concentrate, Percy would grab my hand or play with my hair or do anything else to keep my attention on him.

With all of Percy's distractions, the class seemed short. When the bell rang, I found it hard to believe it was for us to exit the class.

Percy and I exited the classroom very last, of course, only to say goodbye to Paul.

When we exited the class, Percy headed for our lockers. Of course, who was right in front of them?

The one and only: Athena!

"Hi mom." I mumbled as I looked to her.

"Perseus Jackson do you remember what I have told you on so many accounts? Stay! Away! From! My! Daughter!"

"Nice to see you too Lady Athena." Percy said with a bow.

Surprisingly, not everyone was focused on us. Granted, my mom's expression might have had something to do with that...

"Get to class! Perseus!" Athena spat.

"Yes, of course Lady Athena." Percy said as he walked in the opposite direction.

Was there anyone who wasn't scared of my mom?

My thoughts were interrupted my mom's lecture.

"I can't believe you're still dating him! He is useless to you. You are not to be distracted on your studies Annabeth!..."

Of course she continued on with her speech. Like I hadn't heard it before… I will admit, my ADHD got the best of my for that time period. It felt shorter than it really was...

RIIIIIIIIINNNNGG

There it was again. Thank the gods!

Athena was cut off by the sound of students running out of the classes. She sighed in frustration.

"We will continue this later." She told me. I nodded as she walked off.

I shook my head as I felt in my pocket for my schedule. Eventually i found it.

Lunch

It read. Finally! I got to talk to Percy!

I headed in the general direction everyone else was heading towards.

The crowd led me to a large room.

I followed the majority to a line which held everyone's lunch.

After I had my tray, I looked around for Percy. Eventually I spotted him and his friends at a corner table.

When I reached the table, I took a seat between Percy and Andrew.

"Wait! You mean Stacy Alison?" Percy asked.

"Duh!" Caitlyn said as she shoved him from his other side.

Percy turned to me.

"How was it?" He asked. i automatically knew what he was talking about.

"The usual..."

He sighed.

"Of course." He replied kissing my lightly on the cheek.

I smiled at his sweet gesture. He pulled away, and then started talking to Caitlyn again.

"She's coming today?" Percy asked.

"Oh my god Percy YES!" Caitlyn said.

"Who?" I questioned.

"Stacy Alison. She was my first real friend here, before she moved away." Percy answered.

I nodded in understanding.

"Oh my gods! I'll be right back." I heard Percy say from beside me.

I looked up and followed his glance to find a girl about my height. She had long, light brown, wavy hair. Her eyes were a blue color. Percy went up to meet her.

"I'm guessing that's her." I said.

Caitlyn laughed.

"Yes. probably one off the nicest people you will ever meet." Caitlyn said.

I turned my attention to the two friends. They were hugging.

A second later, they made their way to the table. I watched them laughing and talking hand in hand...

"Oh wow! It's so great to see everyone," Stacy said stopping her gaze on me. "I don't believe we've met. I'm Stacy."

"I'm Annabeth Chase." I replied not looking up.

"I hope we can be friends. Percy has already told me a lot about you."

I smiled at her.

"Well, I should be going." I said picking up my tray and bag to leave.

"Annabeth wait." Percy called. He broke their hands apart.

I just kept walking.

"Annabeth," he called when we were out of the loud Commons Area. "Wise Girl! I know what you think, but I haven't seen her in years. I promise."

I stopped and turned around.

"I'm good at reading people. I know she likes you. Probably always has." I told him.

We were only a foot away from each other.

"Annabeth. We are just friends. I've always only seen her as a friend!"

"Are you sure that's how she sees it?"

"Okay, Annabeth. What is wrong with you. Why are you suddenly jealous of all my friends? It's not like you."

"Will you answer this question," I asked him. "What do you think of Stacy Alison?"

"Annabeth Chase, wise girl, the girl I would fall into Tartarus for, the love of my life. It. Was. Always. You."

Yeah that was really sweet, and it made me fall in love with him all over again, but he never did answer my question...

I had a feeling Stacy and I wouldn't be good friends.
