The Little Big Three

Groups and Stupidity

Annabeths POV:

Me and my friends Katie and Selina were standing around my locker laughing at stupid stories we were telling each other.

"Hey. Heads up girls." Katie whispered, "Loser Loner just walked through the doors."

To tell you the truth he was kind of hot. But he quickly sank to the bottom of the school by turning down all the pretty girls. He had never tried to make any friends and no one knew anything about him.

"Quick! Walk away!" Selina whisper yelled back. Sadly I had my locker next to his so my friends and I were always on the lookout for him so we wouldn't get mixed up with 'his kind'. You know. The ones always alone. No friends.

"That was close." I breathed out when we were around the corner.

"Hey gorgeous." I groaned. No matter where I went Matt Sloan was always there to try and flirt with me.

"Matt. How many times do I have to tell you it's only girls who can flirt. Boys just act like idiots." I turned and walked away with my friends.

"Oh, come on babe. Don't be like that." He said following us.

"Lets get to home room." Katie said as the bell rang out. I mean how does she do that. Everyday. It's almost creepy.

We walked into home room and sat down in our usual seats. Then he walked in. And by 'he' I mean Percy. Today he was wearing a sea green fitted t-shirt and black skinny jeans with black and white Hi-Tops.

He walked to his seat. Front row last seat on the left. Right beside the window. As usual his expression was neutral. That was the only reason he was bullied. For a reaction. A change in him. He was always so calm and expressionless. It drove everyone crazy.

The teacher walked in told the class to sit down. Did roll call read out the announcements. And let us out just as the bell rang.

Unfortunately first period was languages. So while I headed off to Greek Katie and Selina both headed for French. "I'll see you at break. Meet at my locker?" Katie called over her shoulder.

"Yeah sounds good."

I walked into Greek to find a new teacher having a glare off with Percy. They seemed to know each other. The scary thing was not the fact that Percy knew the teacher. It was that he was showing emotion. He clearly hated this guy. Whoever he was.

I was the second best at Greek here. Percy somehow spoke Greek better than our last teacher. His excuse was that English was his second language. Personally I didn't believe it.

Then he and the teacher started talking to each other in Greek. I only caught a few of the words.

"Gods... Poseidon... Father... Zeus... Here... Teaching... Sit down." And that was the end of their conversation. Percy's face turned neutral again.

"Hello class. I am Mr Blue. I will be taking your Greek class this year." Mr Blue began. "Can anyone here speak Greek?" To no ones surprise Percy raised his hand. I did the half-and-half signal with my hand.

"Right can you two give us a demonstration?"

"Σίγουρα. πώς είστε σήμερα;"
(Sure. How are you today?)

Thank goodness his saying things which I know. "Καλή. Πόσο Έλληνες μιλάτε;"
(Good. How much Greek do you speak?)

"Αυτό "είναι εύκολο. Μιλάω άπταιστα Ελληνικά. Αγγλικά είναι η δεύτερη γλώσσα μου να το πω έτσι."
(This" is easy. I speak Greek fluently. English is my second language so to speak.)

"Αχ. Ok."
(Oh. Ok.)

I didn't really understand that last bit so that was the end of our Greek conversation. The teacher, Mr Blue looked at me impressed. I noticed he didn't give a well done look to Percy. They must really hate each other.

"Ok class. In other news we will be doing a project this term. I have already picked your partners and there will be no swapping or trading. You understand?" The whole class nodded.

I wasn't really listening until he called out my name "Annabeth Chase. With Percy Jackson." He called out before moving on. No. This can't be happening.
