Chapter 1
Annabeth's POV
Finally, the first day at school after a two weeks holiday. I got up from bed and made my way to the bathroom. I freshened myself, had a bath and went downstairs. Bobby and Matthew were fighting like they always do. My step mom Helen was in the kitchen preparing breakfast which smelled really nice. Hmmm… maybe Helen is preparing omelets. Dad had gone for some business trip to Canada about a week ago and would come back after two more weeks.
We had shifted from California about three years ago. I went to Goode High School which was one of the best in the state and had the best architecture classes. I had made some awesome friends. My best friend was Thalia. Her cousin Nico joined last year and was a year below us. Piper, Jason and Leo were my good friends at school. We all had a blast last year. Though it was also terrible because of Drew. Drew is the most idiotic and stupid girl of our school. She is popular also. All the boys of our school want to be her boyfriend besides a few exceptions and I don't know why. She puts more makeup than any of the girls and looks like a complete joker. I don't understand that does she wear clothes or does she come to school in her underwear. I grin at the remarkable thought.
Helen greeted me morning and my step-brothers paid no attention to me for which I am grateful. I had my breakfast which was delicious. I complimented my step mom and packed my stuff, I stuffed my books in the bag then I rechecked to know if I had forgotten anything. I was wearing jeans and an orange top as I like to keep my clothing style very simple. I let my hair open and fall on my shoulders which is the best way I like it. I went to the main door. I took out my sneakers from the shoe rack and wore them. Just as I was going to open the door, the bell rang. I opened the door to find Thalia leaning on the wall. She wore a white top underneath a black leather jacket. She was wearing her usual black jeans. Her spiky black hair was just the same and she was wearing her skull earrings. I smiled at her.
"Ready for the first day, Annabeth?" she asked.
"I am always ready" I replied.
"First day in class 11, it doesn't rattle you, I am quite impressed"
"Why is there a need to be a nervous?" I asked.
"Because high school can be scary" Thalia replied sarcastically.
"Let's get moving or we will be late"
"Oh right!" Thalia exclaimed, and began to walk because she knows that I don't like being late.
We started walking towards our school. We went through a park which was usually less crowded in the morning. The breeze was gentle as we entered the park. The wind brushed across my face which was quite relaxing. It was unfortunate that Drew also used the same path to reach school and not usually I see her. My relax time was limited as I heard the irritating voice full with arrogance, irritation and hatred and I knew who was there. I saw Drew complaining not far away from us.
"Do you know how expensive the purse is?" Drew scowled at one of the kids from middle school.
"I am sorry. I didn't know that your purse was so precious." One of the kids said and snickered with his friend who was just trying to stay away from Drew, like who wouldn't. His day was now ruined just because of that snob and before she could lecture him any further, he quickly ran away with his friend before Drew could create a scene.
"It was wise of him to avoid Drew" I said to Thalia, adding a pun to my phrase which was kind of an inside joke for us.
"Oh yes and remember when she ruined my earrings, I was thundering with anger."Thalia said smiling evilly as she remembered the moment.
"You were scary" I complimented her, which she is and trust you don't want her on your bad side.
"I know that" We both laughed.
With that our discussion ended and we headed towards our school. I saw our friends nearby. We still had half an hour before our first class begins. Our friends rushed to us.
"Hey" Nico said.
"How were your holidays?" Piper asked.
"Did you plan to make another building?" Jason asked.
"Did you kick someone's butt?" Leo asked, just being the same old chap. He grinned which was a lopsided grin and it passes you the message that you don't want to make him responsible for any responsibility.
All of them shot their questions at us as if they were venom in their mouth.
"Calm down. What's the big hurry, we still have half an hour." Thalia said, snapping at them.
I don't know why they behaved like this. We texted each other day and night. We said everything that happened that particular day.
"Leo, what kind of question was that. Is that the first question you ask someone when you meet them?" Piper scolded him. He often gets these little scolding from Piper.
"Oh, sorry! I will keep that in mind next time, beauty queen" Leo said with a smirk.
"Leo I told you to stop calling me that" Piper exclaimed at his reply and rolling her eyes. You could not guess that of which color her eyes were. They seemed to change every second. Her kaleidoscope eyes always seemed to dazzle me.
"Whatever" he said and started to head towards Starbucks, our usual routine.
We all went to Starbucks which was quite near to our school. We all had our favorable drink. After having our small tea party we went to our school. I was excited to go to school and so were my friends. Thalia told us that her other cousin named Percy was going to join school today. I don't know how many cousins Thalia has. Nico was very excited to meet Percy for some unknown reason. Thalia also told me that I and Percy were complete opposites, so I guess our friendship would be pretty rough, anyways, who am I to think about it right now, it would depend what impressions we give to each other. Ten more minutes and we have our first class. We entered the building and straight away went to the office to get our schedules. The building had great architecture. Architecture fascinates me and I dream to be an architect when I grow up. If I get the opportunity I spend my day drawing buildings, designing them. I love watching the interior designing of the building. We all compared our schedules. I left my friends as I am the only one with Math as the first class. Jason and Thalia had English with Mr. Avedon and Piper and Leo had History with Mrs. Sen. I entered my class and sat down in the front with an empty seat next to me. Thank gods; there was no jock to come to irritate me today. The teacher entered the class. The class was getting started when someone came through the door.
