It seemed like a pretty normal orientation until I saw him. He was entering the gym. He was nervous, he kept looking backwards like he was being followed. He ran pass me without even noticing and sat on the bleachers like the rest of the kids. I made my way to where he was sitting, pushing kid aside and ducking under teachers. What is HE doing here? I thought, suddenly furious. I had only seen him once, but it was more than enough to remember. He scared me to death but, I needed to talk to him. He was the answer to all my questions: Why did I see horrible thing and no one else noticed them? Why did I have weird dreams in weird languages? Did he see the monsters too? What was happening to me?

Finally I was behind him. Someone started talking, a teacher I guessed, but I didn't pay him any attention. I leaned forwards and asked: "What are you doing here?" That was the most important question, he wasn't going anywhere without answering it. I tried to sound fierce, not to let him see how scared I really was.
"Rachel Elizabeth Dare" he said. He sounded calm but I could see an emotion in his eyes, fright perhaps, or surprise. My jaw dropped. We had only met once, and under a life threatening experience, and yet he remembered my whole name.
"And you are Percy somebody" I answered. My voice sounded very irritated, which was fine with me. "I didn't get your full name last December, when you tried to kill me."
"Look, I wasn't- I didn't- what are you doing here?"
"Same as you I guess. Orientation"- It should have been obvious.
"You live in New York?"
"What, you think I lived at the Hoover Dam?" I asked. He looked surprised, as if he HAD actually expected me to live there.
Someone behind us said "Hey, shut up. The cheerleaders are talking" And a girl began explaining the school activities; there was something off in her voice… When I looked at her and, I yelped and turned away. Another one I thought as I tried to block the image in my head.

"Run", I told Percy, "Now" Somehow I knew she would be after him, we had to get out of there.

He didn't move so I grabbed him and dashed out of the Gym.
