College life was nothing like I expected it to be like. I thought I would be able to just go there for my education, but no. My roommates expected me to be one of those sluts who go to parties every night. When I asked why, they told me 'you just have the look'. So they really didn't treat me the best after that. I was woke up again and again at night when they came in at three in the morning. I thanked the gods that I only had one more year left.

I decided it was time to find my own place. Preferably, a condo, I was making enough money from my job as a waitress and my designing jobs. I laid on my bed looking for condos on my laptop, one of my roommates Julie, came back from shopping. Store bags filled her arms, American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch. I never went shopping with Julie, those were the only stores she ever wanted to go to and I didn't enjoy those stores. You needed a gas mask just to walk into Hollister and all you ever saw at those stores were stick thin girls who cared nothing more than to shop all day long. No thank you. I was never into the I-need-designer-clothes thing. But I never looked down on girls like that, they were just different from me that's all. "What ya doin'?" Julie said in that nosy annoying voice of hers.

"Nothing much," I sighed. "I'm looking for a condo. I'm ready to have my own place. Don't get me wrong I like you guys, I just need my own place. Bad." Julie smiled, I knew she'd be happy about my moving out. She never really liked me anyways.

"Well that's fine with me." Julie said putting her knew clothes away. I began to look for a condo again. I gasped when I found one on the beach. It was beautiful. It was painted a light grey color, short white pillars stood in front of the house. It was also close to NYU. The beach reminded me of Percy. I hadn't thought about him in a long time, but I dreamed about him more times than I could count. It reminded me that I still missed him and he was still out there. I hoped he had waited for me, but I knew that was stretching it. We had been apart for almost two years. I was sure he had moved on. I never could, he had meant too much to me and being with someone else made me feel terrible. I called the realtor and set up a date to see the condo. Excitement filled my body. Hopefully I'd be out of this Hades hole soon.

The realtor set up the date for the next day, so I was up and ready by seven. I didn't have any classes today, so I didn't have to worry about that. I got in my car and drove fifteen minutes to the condo. The pictures didn't do it justice, it was even more amazing in person. The design of the whole thing was so perfect, so precise. These were the kind of designs I wanted to make. I put my hands on my hips just looking at the house. I knew this is where I wanted to live.

"Hey," The realtor came from behind me. "What do you think of the outside?"

"It's so incredible. The pictures on the site did not do it justice. I could honestly say, where do I sign the papers?" I laughed and so did she.

"Well I can tell you one thing. If you sign the papers right now you can move in today." My eyes widened at the thought. I smiled.

I sighed as I plopped on the couch, finally finished unpacking. I was proud of myself for actually being able to do all this on my own. Thankfully the condo came equipped with full kitchen supplies and a couch. The only thing I had to move was my bedroom things and my TV. I walked to the fridge which I had stocked with microwavable dinners and popped one in. I sat back down on the couch and turned on the news. I skimmed through an architecture magazine, until I saw what was on the news.

The Mayor's daughter has confirmed the rumors that she's engaged. The 22-year old announced today that the rumors of her and summer fling, Perceus Jackson are true. I felt tears stream down my face as I heard my biggest fear come true. Percy was engaged? To the mayor's daughter? The two are set to be married this summer. I turned the TV off and curled up in a fetal position on the couch. Nothing could have prepared me for this. Who knew Percy would be getting married to someone other than me?

A/N: Don't worry there's more! This is going to be my last series for a while. I'm trying to finish all my series' right now. I have like three of them or something. So now I have four on my plate. Ugh that's nice. Anyways the ideas for new stories keep on coming but for the ones I'm working on I keep getting writers block. So they all might suck, but at least you guys didn't rip my heads off. Haha. I have to babysit all week next week so I'm going to be writing like crazy tonight. I'm going away for the weekend, but maybe my mom will allow me to bring my laptop so I can type. Cross your fingers!
