"Are you sure I have to come back today?" Percy asked his step-father, Paul as they drove to Goode High.

"Percy, you've been out of school for months now, you need to go back some time. Plus, don't you want to see your friends again?" Paul replied.

"I guess so," conceded Percy. "But I still wish it didn't have to be--I don't know--so . . . school-ish."

Ever since Hera "helped" Percy by magicly kidnapping him, Percy had not been in school. He had never had an easy time at school, so he wasn't exactly excited to be going back. After all compared to high school, saving the world was a pic-nic.

When the duo, English teacher and student, arrived at Goode, there were still a few students loitering on the steps of the building, but most people had already gone inside and were talking at their lockers and in the hall.

Percy was searching for a familiar face in the crowd of students when he heard a voice shout, "Percy Jackson! Where the hell have you been!" behind him.

This voice happened to belong to Chloe, a petite girl with light brown hair and pale skin, who had one of Percy's best friends at Goode before he had been spirited away. Surrounding her were several other people, most of which Percy's best friends. There was Tucker, Percy's teammate on the Goode swim team, and a tall-ish blond girl that Percy didn't recognise.

"Hi . . ." Percy greeted tentatively. He wasn't sure what expect after getting shouted at by Chloe. A chorus of "hey"s and "hi"s greeted him back.

"How and/or where have you been?" inquired Chloe. "How can you just randomly disappear and then just pop up at school today like some it's just normal day?"

"Good. I was traveling with my family." relied Percy. He and Annabeth had decided that was the most accurate way to explain his absence without actually telling people what happened. "What about you guys?"

"We've been fine, but the important thing is that you're going to be on the team now that you're back, right Percy?" demanded Tucker. Percy was the best swimmer in the school, and without him, the team hadn't won a single meet.

"Of course I am." Percy assured his friend, and they high fived. Annabeth was not a big fan of Percy showing off with swimming, but seeing as being a demigod usually sucked, Percy figured he should be allowed to enjoy one of the rare perks.

A loud "hem, hem" came from the blond girl, who up until then had been standing quietly a little ways away, and Chloe smacked herself on the head. "Oops! Sorry, I completely forgot for a second. Percy this is Rebekah Mikaelson. Rebekah, this is Percy Jackson." Chloe quickly said.

Precy waved at the new girl. "Nice to meet you, Rebekah."

"Charmed," the blond responded casually.

"Wait! you're British?" exclaimed a confused Percy, who had not expected the accent.

"Yes I am, however could you tell?" asked Rebekah sarcasm dripping from every word. For the entirety of the time she had been in Goode everybody felt the need to ask her about her accent, and she was getting a little tired of it. Hadn't any of these kids met a British person before?

"Well you ha. . . Oh." Percy responded. He had thought it to be a legitimate question until he saw Jules and Max laughing at him. "So, when did you move to the States?"

Rebekah smiled. "I've been here a while; I just haven't lost my accent yet." Honestly she had been in the states for a very long time, but somehow the accent just stuck with her everywhere she went.
