Zoe's POV

Oh men! As always... ever ytime my teachers ask me questions I always give wrong answers... what kind of person am I?!

I was standing in front of my locker when 2 familiar guys went to me.

"Hi Zoe!" the girl who was called Thalia said with a big smile on her face.

"Oh! Hi!" I greeted back.

"Hello Zoe!" The man who called me middle schooler said. He seems so kind though!

"Hi!" I greeted.

"I'm Thalia! But You can call me Thals..." she said

"And I am Nico..." he added. "I hope we guys can be friends!"

"Eh?" I asked in shock. Are they really saying those to me? To me, The Dumb Zoe?

"Friends?" the two asked.

"But you see... I am not like everyone... I am not as smart as you guys." I said in a worried tone.

"So?" Thalia looked at me. "Did we say, "let's be friends because you are smart?""

"No..." I replied.

"See!" Nico said as he placed his arms on Thalia's and my shoulder.

"Thank you!" I said with a big smile on my face. They seem cool!

CAFETERIA

The three of us went to the cafeteria happily. Those guys seem to be so friendly! While we were finding a vacant table to eat at, I saw Percy eating alone. I ran towards his place with my tray on my hands.

"Hi Percy! Can we seat with you?" I greeted. But it seems like he did not hear me so I repeated what I said. "Hello Percy?!"

He just took a two-second glance at me and he continued eating his lunch.

I felt like he agreed so I sat in front of him. I opened my cap noodles and placed my water bottle on our table. It seems like all of the people are looking at us. What's the matter? Anyways, i did not mind them.

"So Percy... I am Zoe, your classmate!" I introduced myself as i took a sip of my soup.

Again, it seems like he did not hear anything. He was still eating his cap noodles. He looks so cool while eating...Gosh... he looks like an angel!

"uhmmm.." I started. "Can you hear me?" I asked. I stood up and held his coat and said "Excuse me... uhmm... can you hear-"

"HEY!" He shouted and so my knees felt unstable. I moved back afterwards. I was so shocked at what he did. I can't believe that he could shout at someone like that. Everyone stared at us. I was too nervous. Thalia and Nico ran towards us worriedly. "I can hear you OKAY?" he emphasized. "Please don't disturb me here... I am eating..." He informed me and then he looked at Nico "Please?"

Thalia and Nico pulled me away from him. "Wait!" I said.

"What now?" Nico asked. "My food!" i answered and grabbed my tray, after which, I went away with them.

While walking, I can't keep my eyes away from him... What was his problem and he shouted at me like that? Idiot.

Nico and Thalia found a seat for us. I sat beside Thalia...

"HEY!" Thalia said in an angry manner. "Why did you sit with him?'

"Why? What's the matter?" I asked. "Almost all seats were occupied, and I saw that his table is so free, it's like 3 more people can sit beside him so I came and seat with him."

Both looked at each other and sighed. "Zoe... you see, Percy is not a chatty person... he does not talk much and he does not want talkative people around him. That's probably the reason why he has no seat mates." Thalia informed.

"Wait..." I said "Nico.. I thought you're his friend?"

He just nodded as he took a bite of his fries. "Why aren't you sitting beside him?"

"He has moods!" He whispered in a dorky tone.

"Ah really?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Thalia replied. "You know what? He does not have any dorm-mate. The people who used to be at the same dorm as him transferred to another dorm because they hate quietness."

"Yeah! I for one am an example!" Nico admitted. "I was once his dorm-mate... and as you can see, I hate quiet people. I hate a quiet environment so I transferred dorms." He informed. "Every time at home, he would always watch TV without talking. I am his closest friend here but then he's not really that talkative even with me." He added.

"Really?" I asked. "Then, where are you staying?"

"Thalia's dorm..." he answered with his mouth full of fries.

"THALIA'S DORM?!" I shouted. I was so shocked that they are living in the same dorm. What if something happens? Oh my gods. What if...?

"Hey!" Thalia interrupted my thoughts. "Don't think dirty. We only share the same living room and kitchen, but different rooms and bathroom"

I exhaled... "Good!" I said with a giggle.

But really... Jackson... why is he like that?

LOBBY

5:00 PM

"Eh.." Nico began. "Zoe, where are you going to stay?"

"A dorm here... I will ask Ms. Aphrodite for the key"

The two looked at each other and smiled. "GOOD LUCK!" They said in chorus. "See you in class tomorrow Zoe." Thalia shouted as they went away.

Ms. Aphrodite?! Where are you? I need to find my keys..I thought while looking for Ms. Aphrodite. I already finished looking everywhere but I can't seem to find her.

"Uhmm excuse me... Have you seen Ms. Aphrodite?" I asked a man similar to someone familiar... i just don't know who... he was talking to Jason.

He turned to look at me, low and behold I saw Percy. He might be angry at me... RUN!

"Oh! Sorry! Sorry!" I said as I bowed 90 degrees and ran away from them. I was really scared. My heart was beating really really fast. Gosh!

"Ms. Aphrodite!" I shouted as I saw her walking with Mr. Hephaestus... Our teacher in math and Christian Living.

"Ah Zoe!" Ms. Aphrodite said.

"Sorry if I interrupted something... but ma'am... may I get the keys to my dorm?" I asked.

"Ah go find Mr. Ares" Mr. Hephaestus interrupted. "He's in charge of your keys."

"Where is he?" I asked.

"I am here!" a scary toned man answered. "He's your key. Room 369 14th floor."

"Thank you!" I said and bowed at them.

DORM

Room 369

"This is it! My dorm! I wonder who my dorm-mate is!" I said to myself as I opened the door.

The dorm was so beautiful... i mean the living room. I saw the living room and it was well maintained! I wonder who my dorm mate is? I think he's a male for the colors of the furnitures are purely white and black.

"Woah!" I said in amazement. "My dorm mate is so cool! How on earth can a human maintain this kind of living room?"

I moved on and went to check on the kitchen. And God it was so beautiful! It was maintained really well! Just like living in a 5-star hotel! Is this really a dormitory?

"Who is my dorm mate?" I asked myself. "How is this possible that he/she can make this kitchen look so pretty? and... purely white...?"

I was still amazed with what I saw. The kitchen and the living room was so gorgeous!... What if... WHAT IF MY ROOM IS ALSO NICE?! WOW!

I went back to the hallway as I tried to check where my room is.

I opened the first room which says "roommate Z.N"" Hmm that probably is my room. Zoe Nightshade.

I opened the door and saw my room. It was beautiful!It is like living in heaven! I thought as i lay down on my very soft bed... ahhh... it's so comfy!

*BANG!*

Oh god! What was that?! I asked myself as I stood up from my bed... burglar?! Oh no! My dorm mate isn't here! What should i do?

I can hear the sound coming from the main door. I went outside of my room and went straight to the living room near the main door.I was too nervous so I grabbed the baseball bat beside the exerciser and held it tightly. The door swung open and so...

"AHHH!" I screamed with my eyes closed as i swung the bat as hard as possible. The man was able to protect himself and ducked.

"HEY!" A familiar voice shouted irritated. Just like the voice of...
