Goode High Chap 1
Annabeth POV
I took a deep breath and pulled open the doors. Self consciously I made my way towards the main office. "Good morning and welcome to Goode High," greeted the secretary. "You must be Annabeth Chase." I nodded nervously. "We'll here's your schedule and locker number. Would you like someone to show you around?"
I found my voice. "Thanks, but I already know someone. He can show me around." I walked out of the office. Thoughts chasing each other around in my head. How was I supposed to greet him? Just walk up and say hi? Sneak up on him and scare him to death? That would be hilarious. But how would he react to me being at his school. My family had moved back to New York while Dad had rented an airplane hangar or something so he could keep his 'toys.'
As I walked to my locker on polished floors I attracted stares. The new kid would be a topic of conversation at Goode. I was starting school a week late due to the confusion of moving. I focused on the row of lockers. 343. 344. 345! I fiddled with the lock until the door opened and piled all of my books into my locker minus the ones needed for my first class.
"You're new?" A girl to my left asked. Copper hair was pulled back in a ponytail like me and dark brown eyes met mine.
"Yeah. My name's Annabeth," I said shaking her hand.
"Grace," she answered. Suddenly girls started whispering and pointing down the hall and a few guys glare in the same direction. I saw Grace roll her eyes.
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"Percy Jackson. Hottest guy in the school blah blah blah. He won't date anyone. Apparently he has a girlfriend but no one actually believes that story. His locker is right next to yours. He is captain of the swim team and broke all the records."
Percy had all the girls fawning over him and he wasn't cheating on me? I grinned on the inside as he and his friends came closer. I was vaguely aware of Grace prattling on. I caught sight of him and let a smile slide onto my face. His black hair was messy and untamed. I couldn't see his eyes from where I stood but I could imagine them sparkling green. He came right next to me to open his locker while my own open door hid my face from view. Grace walked over to his group and grabbed the hand of one of the other boys kissing his cheek.
"Guys," she said trying to get their attention unsuccessfully.
Another boy interrupted her. "Have you guys heard about the new girl?"
"Is she hot? Maybe we can talk Percy into getting a girlfriend!"
"Very funny guys but I already have a girlfriend. She's smart, beautiful and brilliant." I closed my locker door his back still facing me.
I put one arm around his middle and my other hand the spot against where his Achilles heel once was. "You forgot dangerous," I whispered.
He turned in confusion. "Annabeth!?" cried Percy sweeping me into a bone crushing hug and laughing insanely.
"Ugh, Perce. I can't breathe," I complained hugging him back.
"Wait you know each other?" asked Grace confused.
"Course," he said grinning wildly. "Wisegirl's my girlfriend."
"She's real?" yelled one of the guys.
"Yes she's real. Oh, Annabeth this is Derrick," he pointed to the one who yelled. Straw colored hair covered his head. "The ginger is Max and his girlfriend is Jackie and that's Mitchell. Mitchell is Jackie's twin and grace's boyfriend." The two were both of asian decent. The gang all gave their "his" and "sups."
Then I saw another group push through into my sight. Three girls stood in front me all wearing to much makeup like Aphrodite wannabes. The one in front placed her hand on her hip. Curly brown hair hovered above her shoulders. She wore black skinny jeans and a pink rather revealing top. "Who are you and what are you doing hugging my boyfriend?"
"Your boyfriend?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
Percy groaned his arm still around my waist. "Delia we have already been through this a hundred times-"
"It doesn't matter," she interrupted "you will be mine at some point. Get used to the fact. Answer my question who's the blonde?"
"I'm Annabeth. Percy's girlfriend," I said laying emphasis on the last word.
"Prove it," she sneered. I wrapped my hands around his neck and he bent down kissed me. It sweet and soft and I could tell Percy didn't want to let go but I did anyway and turned to face Delia. She was staring daggers at me but regained her composure. "You might have him now Annabeth but he'll be mine soon enough." (Cue evil laugh.) She stalked off trying to regain her nonexistent pride.
Percy grinned down at me and I smiled back. "Wise Girl what are you doing here?"
"Going to school. Duh Perce," i replied teasing him. "My family moved back to New York so I left the boarding school and came to Goode."
Grace checked her watch. "We've got a half hour until first period. Lets go to home room." And with that she led the way down the hall and up a flight of stairs. We walked to home room with Percy practically skipping.
Thankfully we were all in the same classroom. The rest of the group took their seats and Percy and I walked to the front to meet the teacher. He had graying hair and a bald spot on the top of his head. Thick glasses rested on the bridge of his nose and the man had a bit of a stomach.
"Mr. Bridge this is Annabeth Chase she's new here."
"Well Annabelle-"
"Annabeth, sir," I interrupted. I hate when people get my name wrong. Cough* mr d *cough.
"Annabeth. My apologies. Please take a seat."
Almost as soon as we sat down Percy stole my schedule. I tried to grab it but he held it out of reach and compared his own.

"Excellent," cried Percy. "We've got six periods together and lunch with these guys," he gestured to his friends sitting next to us. The next twenty minutes were spent talking with my new friends. Derrick, Mitchell and Max were all on the swim team with Percy who was captain. I told them how long Perce had known me and how long we had been dating (one year.) Grace played basketball and Jackie lacrosse. Seaweed Brain suggested I try out for track. In no time at all the two of us were sent off to English class followed by Mitchell.
I grinned when we reached the classroom. "Mr. Blofis it is so great to see you," I hugged him.
"You knew she was coming?" Percy asked heatedly.
"Seaweed Brain, he's the one who got me in on such short notice." Percy gaped open mouthed at his step father as I lead him to sit in the second row with Mitchell right behind us.
As the class settled down Paul explained that they would start to read the Iliad. When I opened my book I silently thanked the gods. The left pages were in English and the right Greek. Convenient right? So basically Paul's class was breeze. Next I had advanced math with Mitchell. After that Jackie met me in advanced science. My only problem arose when we took a pretest.
The teacher handed it out explaining that this would not count against us and was a simple evaluation of our skill level. It was a breeze and when the teacher asked me what I was doing I told her I was done. The woman marched over to my seat and swiped the papers off my desk. Her eyes scanned them up and down. I sat back in my chair my arms crossed over my chest confident that every single one was right.
"You cheated."
I sat up in my seat suddenly outraged. "What are you talking about? I did not!" It was an insult to my intelligence and Athena.
"Principal's office now young lady." I stood up infuriated prepared to march towards the door when Jackie spoke up.
"Why don't you give her a chance?" The teacher hesitated and Jackie saw the opening. "Ask her questions and Annabeth will answer them." We had attracted the classes attention now watching the stand off between teacher and students.
After those tense moments the teacher snapped ,"fine." She bombarded me with questions in biology, astronomy, and physics among other things. Finally I sat back in my seat triumphant.
"Thanks," I whispered to Jackie.
"No problem," she returned. "You weren't cheating were you?" I smiled and shook my head in reply.
