Previously: "Yeah, what's the big deal, Seaweed Brain?" teased a familiar voice behind Percy.

3rd pov.

Percy whirled around, and was shocked at what he saw. Standing before him were Thalia, Annabeth, Nico and Will!

"What are you guys doing here?" he said as he stood up. He was very excited to see his friends, but he was worried that they were there because something really bad had happened and he was needed for a quest.

"Learning. What do you usually do at school?" asked Thalia in a sarcastic manner, her electric blue eyes sparkling with amusement at his confusion.

"All of you?" Percy asked in disbelief while waving his arms around to further establish his point.

"Yep, all of us, Kelp Head," replied Nico with a patronising tone.

"I'm sorry," Jules interjected with a confused look on her face, "Percy, how do you know these people?" The rest of Percy's mortal friends nodded in agreement with her question. She had said what they had all been thinking.

"Oh yeah, sorry. These are my friends from summer camp who for some reason transferred here," Percy explained. "This is Nico, that's Thalia, and that's Will." He pointed to each person as he said their name, so no one would get confused as to who was Thalia.

"Are we saving the best for last?" Annabeth teased her boyfriend.

"This is my girlfriend, Annabeth." Percy said with a smile on his face. "This is Max, that's Jules, that's Chloe, that's Tucker, and that's Rebekah."

After everyone exchanged the necessary pleasantries such as "Nice to meet you," and "I love your hair," the demigods all sat down and lunch continued in a somewhat normal fashion.

"Pay up," Max demanded quietly of Tucker. The latter groaned and dug a five dollar bill out of his pocket to pay his friend.

"What are you two doing?" Rebekah asked skeptically. She had known the pair for a while now, but she still was not used to them.

"He bet me five dollars that Percy was lying about having a girlfriend, but here she is, so I won," Max explained. He rubbed the bill against the corner of the table in an effort to smooth it.

"Why did you think he was lying?" asked Will. Percy and Annabeth, or Percabeth as some of the more devoted campers called them, were a legendary pair. It seemed strange that anyone would doubt their love.

"Cause he always said that when girls asked him out, I figured he was just trying to turn them down without hurting their feelings. Plus, he always said it like he was panicking; it made it seem like he was lying," explained Tucker, whose expression made his annoyance at losing the bet very clear.

Everyone except for Percy started laughing at the thought of Percy panicking and trying to explain that he had a girlfriend when girls tried to ask him out. While they were laughing, the bell rang, and everyone rushed to their next class.

Rebekah thought this whole business was more than a little strange. What were the chances that they would all go to the school? The new kids all seemed normal enough, but she wasn't sure. Something was just. . . off, but she decided to disregard this feeling. After all, she had come to New York to be normal, and suspecting your class mates of having supernatural and/or murderous intentions was not normal behavior; it was Klaus behavior. There were many things in life that Rebekah was not sure of, but she was very sure that acting even remotely like Klaus was not at all normal.

Just as she made this decision, Rebekah walked into gym class. Despite appearances, Rebekah quite liked physical activity. She had even looked forward to gym in the few weeks she had been at school. Rebekah went into the locker room to on her gym clothes and overheard some interesting conversation with her enhanced hearing.

"Did you see Percy's face when you surprise him? It was priceless. I was tempted to take a picture and add it to the orientation video!" said Thalia. Rebekah raised her eyebrows at this. What orientation video? She thought.

"He would kill you if you did that. By the way, what did you think of his friends?" replied Annabeth.

"They seemed ok. Are you ready yet? You are taking forever!" said Thalia in a rather exasperated tone.

"Yeah, let's go," said Annabeth, and the two left the locker room. Rebekah soon followed them out to the gym to wait for the teacher. While she was waiting Rebekah looked around and saw that all of Percy's camp friends and Percy were in the class as well. This was again very strange, but Rebekah just put it down as good luck.

"Listen Up!!" the gym teacher, Mr. Philips, shouted. "Today we're going to be playing dodge ball, but first everyone run ten laps to warm up!" Most of the class groaned, but Rebekah just started running. She was very careful to maintain a humanly possible speed as to avoid suspicion, and Percy and his friends started to pass her. Rebekah decided not to engage them in a competition instead of a warm up, so she just let them pass her. She did notice that they did not seem tired in the slightest, but none of them looked out of shape so she shrugged this observation off.

"Hey! Jackson!" Mr. Phillips hollered at Percy. When Percy turned to look at him, Mr. Phillips beckoned him over.

Percy paused his conversation with Annabeth and walked over to his teacher. "Yeah?" If it was any other teacher, Percy would be very nervous at being singled out, but Mr. Phillips was the swimming coach at Goode, so Percy was pretty sure he knew what Mr. Phillips wanted to talk about.

Mr. Phillips pointed a finger at Percy. "Now, Jackson, Am I right to assume that you will be joining the swim team again, now that you're back at school?" Percy was a very important part of the team, and Mr. Phillips was eager to have him back.

"That's right, Coach," Percy replied. Even though Annabeth argued that his powers gave him unfair advantage, Percy loved being on the Goode swim team.

"Glad to hear it." Mr. Phillips turned back to the rest of the class. "All right. Your teams are on the whiteboard," Mr. Philips announced, "Red team on this side. Black team on that side." Rebekah was on the black team with Percy, and Annabeth. Nico, Thalia and Will were all on the red team. The game went quickly and eventually just Thalia, Percy and Annabeth were still standing. Will was not still standing because Annabeth got him out.

"You're going down, Jackson! You too, Chase!" shouted Thalia at she paced back and forth with a ball in each hand. She threw one of the balls at Percy and just barely missed him.

"Missed me!" Percy taunted as he threw a ball at Nico. This ball hit Nico, and he had to go out. In retaliation, Thalia quickly threw a ball at Annabeth and did not miss this time, so Annabeth also went out. Finally, Thalia fired at Percy, and her aim was true to it's mark. Percy went out, so it was just Rebekah and Thalia facing off.

"Let's go," Thalia challenged Rebekah. Rebekah simply raised her eyebrows in response, so Thalia kept going with her taunts. "What's wrong? Worried you'll chip your nails if you throw the ball?" she taunted.

Thalia was so preoccupied with trash talk, that when Rebekah threw a ball she didn't react in time and was hit by the ball.

"Would you look at that? I didn't chip my nails after all," Rebekah announced with false sweetness and Thalia glared daggers at her.

"All right, all right, hit the showers y'all!" Mr. Phillips interjected before a full out argument could start. He had taught high school long enough to know when things were about to get ugly. Rebekah smirked at Thalia one last time, and they both went to go change.

Thank all of you for reading and even following/favoriting. It means so much to me. I won't always update this often, but I was really inspired and had extra time, so I wrote chapter two.
