Chapter 8
Okay.
Here's this week's update.
DISCLAIMER: GO AND LOOK IN THE FIRST CHAPTER.
Song: "Who Says" by Selena Gomez and The Scene
Annabeth:
I decided to keep it low-key on my first day. No one noticing, is a good thing for me.
So, I wore an over-sized hoodie over a white tank top and jeans. I looked at myself in the mirror.
I guess that was low-key.
The first day at my old school was a horror. Octavian 'discovered' me. I shuddered. My past school and my mistakes seemed so far away right now. New school, new town, new home. All this new was overwhelming me.
I shook my head. There'll be no Octavian here. I hope.
I put on my headphones and took my bag and walked downstairs.
'Who says' was playing as I walked outside to Malcolm's car. Mom wanted him to drop me off at school as he was in the same school too.
"Hey, sis." He said as I sat inside.
I nodded in acknowledgment. It was still awkward. I didn't know whether he expected me to call him 'bro' or something.
"Let's go." He said after waiting for me to speak and getting no response. He revved the engine and before I knew it, we arrived at Goode High.
It was big. Like all the things that seemed to be here in New York.
The school's walls were painted a crème colour and there were big clean windows lining the walls. It looked more like an office building than a school.
"Go to the office. The lady will give you your time-table." Malcolm said as he walked to the other end of the campus.
I walked straight into the open door in front of me and soon I was ambushed by a crowd of students. I walked through the crown with my hood down and my head facing the floor.
While I was looking at my feet, I bumped into a familiar black-haired boy.
"Nico?!" I asked, half surprised and half relieved that there was someone I knew here.
"Annabeth? What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Yeah, well, I go to school here now," I said awkwardly.
"Oh."
We stood there for a while, me trying to figure out what to say to him. Then I remembered I didn't know where the office was.
"So, uh, can you show me where the office is?" I asked him.
"Sure." He said as he led the way down the hall to the office.
Nico stood outside as I walked inside to the old lady and asked for my time-table. She asked a few details and then gave me my time-table and locker number. I said thanks and walked out.
"You have Math, first period, with Jason." Nico pointed out as he saw my time-table. I was surprised he waited. I looked at him puzzled.
"He's a blonde guy. You'll know who when you walk in, anyway." Nico said and waved bye.
I walked to classroom 102 and followed the other students inside.
I sat on the first bench. I was reading my textbook. Which was hard, considering I was dyslexic and have ADHD but somehow managed to concentrate and not look at anyone. I was rudely interrupted.
"Hey. I'm Jason." He was very tall with an athletic build and had well-muscled and tanned arms. He also had a scar on his upper lip and he had blonde hair, like me.
"Oh, so you're Jason," I said as he looked at me weird.
"Um... Nico told me." I said.
"You know Nico?" He asked even more puzzled. Before I could answer his question, the teacher came in and started teaching. The conversation disappeared.
After the period was over, Jason approached me.
"I never got your name." He said smiling in a brotherly way. I instantly knew we would hit it off.
"I'm Annabeth Chase," I said, smiling.
"You are the Annabeth?" He asked. "My sister told me about you."
"Your sister..." I looked at him.
"Look why don't you join us during lunch?" He asked.
I felt that it was a little better than my original plan, which was to sit in the library alone.
So I agreed and went to my next class.
I bumped into someone, again. What is it with me today? I mumbled a quick sorry and ran off to the next class.
I may sound weird but that smell, that ocean smell, was familiar.
Percy:
Another day of school. Another day of hell. Another day of acting. Another day of expectations.
You'll do great.
I reassured myself as I walked into my first period. I wasn't paying attention during class. I was thinking about Rachel. I sighed as the bell rang.
It's going to be fine. I thought and that's when I bumped into a familiar blonde.
She mumbled a sorry and she looked familiar. But before I could ask she disappeared, I saw her somewhere.
