Homecoming Match for the Match-Maker Part 1

A/N

Homecoming is this week for my school so I thought it would be a good time for a high school au. For those of you who don't know a high school au is where the characters lead normal (as normal as the characters can get) teenager lives in high school. There will be two parts to this, due to how long it is.

Halfborn's POV:

I smiled, almost smugly to myself as I walked through the halls of Valhalla High School in Boston. All the happy couples I passed had been set up by me. Percabeth; Jiper; Caloe; Frazel; Solangelo; Beureguard; and Gruniper. Even the little freshman Meg and sophomore Josh were together because of me. I had had to put in good words for both people (weather they knew it or not), sent one of them the others way for help on whatever (even if the other person can be no help). Caleo had probably been the hardest. They had hated each other and it had taken lots of pushing and tripping to finally get them to see eye-to-eye.

The bane of my matchmaking existence was Samir. They were one of the largest known couples in the school, and they had not been set up by me. They had been betrothed, and they make a very cute couple and they love each other but, it still twitches that I wasn't remotely responsible for that.

As I rounded a corner I saw my biggest challenge. Beatrice. Or known as FierroChase or Malex. Beatrice was my ultimate goal. It would be even harder then Caleo by at least ten, and I wanted to accomplish it by the homecoming dance next Saturday.

Magnus Chase was a geeky boy with a love for Doctor Who and old movies. He had shaggy blond hair with grey eyes, like his cousin Annabeth. Alex Fierro was a genderfluid person, often identifying as a girl, with green hair, mis-match eyes and pink and green wardrobe.

Alex was currently teasing Magnus about his hair, she (she had told me earlier today her gender) only stopped as I passed by with a smirk on my face.

"Shove off, Gunderson." She snapped, and began walking with me.

"I didn't say anything." I said innocently. Alex jabbed me in the ribs. Another thing I forgot to mention was that the green haired devil had been my best friend since elementary.

"Where are you off to?" Alex asked.

"Lunch. Enjoy your trigonometry. I'll keep your misery in mind as I enjoy my burger." I say, smugly.

"Yes I pity your school issued soggy bread and greasy mystery meat."

"But it's better than triangles." I pointed out, Alex rolled her eyes, and punched my arm before retreating towards her next class.

After I piled my plate high with food, I found an empty table. I didn't know anyone in my lunch period so I usually ate studied, or read as I ate. I was in the middle of my Viking folklore book, taking bites of my food as I went, when I heard someone set a tray down across from me. I ignored them and continued to read until a voice pulled my attention away from my folklore.

"You know, if you continue to shove food in your mouth like that blindly, you are going to choke." Glancing up I put a face to the voice. She had unruly red hair with green eyes. She wore a t-shirt with some sort of band on it. Her voice had an Irish accent laced into them, if I wasn't mistaken. I recognized her from my English class that I shared with Magnus and Alex. Mallory Keen was her name.

"Then I guess you would just have to give me CPR." I said, smirking at her.

"You would need the Heimlich maneuver, not CPR. And I wouldn't give either to you."Mallory said coldly.
