Hi everyone! As I promised, this first chapter was posted on Sunday. This chapter will have nothing for high school yet, but the next one will. To those that didn't read my other story, "The Heroes of Olympus & the Kane Chronicles", please read the AN below:

-English is my second language, so don't be too hard on my grammar and spelling.

-I do not own PJO, HoO, or KC. They belonged to Rick Riordan.

-My story is good or bad depends on people's opinion. So please review what I'm good at or bad at.

Now let's the story begin!

Percy's POV

I take in a breath, Ah...

We are on our way back to Camp Half-Blood, with the other seven demigods. We have made it alive, defeated the giants, and put Gaea back to her sleep. I hope it will be another few thousands year before she managed to wake up again.

I can see the pine tree where Thalia once has been, and the sight of the strawberry farm in the distance. I don't know what to expect, a group of new demigods welcomes me? Maybe Chiron and my old friends pat on my back, saying, "Good job, Percy"? Anyway, the important thing is the camp is safe and the seven demigods, along with Nico, are safe also.

Hazel, who never see Camp Half-Blood before (except on the Argo II), ask no one in particular. "You guys grow strawberries and sell them?"

"Yeah", Annabeth said. "It helps with our income and provide something for the Demeter's demigods to do."

You see, another thing I was glad at is that Annabeth is safe. The time we fell into Tartarus was hard. She has been fighting Arachne and got injured, then being pull down by a big piece of wood. So good there was a lake down there, and I use my water power to protect both me and Annabeth. Otherwise we would have been a grease spot on the ground, and I'm sure Ares will be happy at this.

Frank was walking nervously. Maybe it's because he was a Roman, and walking to a Greek territory wasn't a good thing, or he was expecting some buff kids jump out from the bushes and attacked him.

"Um, is the children of Ares nice?", he asked.

"I don't know", I said. "It's depend on people. Like you're a nice person although you're the son of Mars. But one thing I admitted, Mars's children were nicer than Ares's."

"Thanks", Frank said, shuddering at the thought, but he keep going.

We reach the entrance of the camp. I took a peek inside, but to see everything were normal, except for one thing.

No one was at the camp.

I look around, to see no sight of demigods playing volleyball or planting strawberries. It's like every person here has disappeared, except for the buildings.

"Wait, where is everyone?", Piper asked.

"No, not the Romans...", Jason said, and he left that thought hangs in the air.

Did we come too late? Did the Romans demigods had taken every single person here to Camp Jupiter? Questions formed in my mind, but I know they're not true. The buildings still look new, and before going back to the U.S., Annabeth has sent an Iris message to Chiron, telling they're safe. Hazel also send one to Reyna, telling her the quest is complete. They only took a few days to fly back to New York, and no monster had attacked them the whole way. Unless...

One way to find out, I thought. I begin to walk into the camp, holding my sword Riptide for any intruders, and that's when all demigods, the one at camp, run to me from the bushes and behind the buildings. Obviously they're making a surprise for the crew of the Argo II.

They all seem to be in a happy mood. Everyone patted my back, like I had expected. The other sevens demigods begin to take a breath, knowing nothing has happened.

Chiron galloped to me in his horse form. I missed my trainer, who has once tried to teach me archery. At Camp Jupiter, there was no Chiron 2, and I know how lucky I am to have a centaur as the camp director.

"Percy, you made it!", my trainer said. "I know you always made it, no matter ho hard the quest is."

"Thanks, Chiron", I replied. "Did Reyna came here yet?"

"Oh, she did, but to make peace", Chiron said. "She said she's sorry to blame you and the other for the firing on her camp."

I understood that Annabeth has really did solve the problem between two camps by finding the statue. Succeeding on the quest also has helped.

I look around and see the Stolls playing some pranks on the Ares campers with some food. One Ares camper was chasing Travis with ice cream on her hair. The other Ares camper was using spoons as spears, and was throwing them at Connor who dodged, well, most of it.

"I have to go now, Percy", Chiron said as he look at the direction where I was looking. "We don't want a food fight going around."

He galloped back to the Stolls, where Travis was throwing ice cream at the Ares camper who has chased him.

Finally, I was back to a normal life, with no quests or monsters to deal with, and continue with those months dating Annabeth before Hera kidnapped me.

I search the crowd for Annabeth, and saw her with her half-siblings. Maybe she was talking about the Mark of Athena and Arachne.

I begin to walk to her, and most demigods move out of the way for me, like I'm a king or something. I saw some demigods who just stood around nervously. Maybe they're new campers who came while I was gone to the quest. Frank and Hazel stood next to Jason, who was with Piper and Leo. For most other demigods, they're talking about the quest or about their personal stories.

Before I reach Annabeth, Chiron orders everyone to calm down and meet him at the mess hall. When we reach there, Chiron said there was a special table for the seven demigods and Nico. I sit next to Annabeth, and as everyone settle down, Chiron said, "Can someone please tell us about the quest to Greece?"

Me, Annabeth, and Jason took turn talking about our voyage. Annabeth describe the Mark of Athena, making some of her half-siblings gasped. I describe the trip in Tartarus, and Jason talk about the trip with the other demigods on the Argo II. Then together, we described how to close the Door of Death, defeated giants, and put Gaea back to her sleep. I also added how we came back to the Empire State Building and meet the Olympians where they recognized us. It felt like a few hours had passed, but it was actually only ten minutes.

Everyone applauded, maybe because of the things we did, or maybe because they couldn't believe we made it alive. Chiron thanks us and start the party. Plates of food were passed around, and the mood is just like what I remembered from the party in Camp Jupiter after we defeated the anti-Poseidon giant.

I take a cup, and ordered it to fill with soda. As I look at the blue color, I remembered something else. The conversation with my mom.

It happened during the time we went back to New York on the Argo II. I have called my mom through Iris-message to tell her that I was fine and not to worry. She said she missed me so much, and all the other things she has been worried about. But there is one thing my mom made sure of me.

"I'm so happy that you are fine", my mom has said. "But can you do one thing for me?"

"Yes, mom?", I asked.

"You have been go to school for only a few days before you disappeared", she paused. "So after the summer, can you go back to school?"

I said that there were college for demigods in Camp Jupiter, but she said there was not a high school. And after the conversation, I have been thinking about whether to go to school or not.

Oh, and do you want some info on my education? First, I started 12th grade at Goode High School last year. About a week before I got taken by Hera, I have fought some monsters in school. The result is a burned classroom and a huge hole the size of a car on the ceiling. After that, I run to camp, and then few days later, got kidnapped by the Queen of Olympus.

My mom also said that Goode doesn't accept me anymore, no matter how my stepdad Blofish convinced them. I always thought Goode will be the last school I attend, and it seems like I was wrong. Now I have to find another school to get my high school diploma.

My mom also said to me not to worry what school I go to. She has found a school for me, and the name is Brooklyn Academy for the Gifted. It wasn't too far away, and it was the closest school that still accept me.

The waving of hand in front of me brought me back to Earth. I turn to see it was Annabeth.

"Percy, what's wrong?", she asked me.

"Um, nothing", I lied. "I'm just thinking about my mom."

"She's fine, Percy", Annabeth reassured me.

An idea formed in my head, but I don't know if it's good or not. Sure, I don't like school much, but my mom don't want her son to fail the High School Exit Exam, and not to get a high school diploma. So I will go to school, but I don't want to go alone this time.

I find the courage to ask Annabeth. "Annabeth, do you want to go to school with me?"

She looks at me surprisingly, like I just asked her 'do you want to jump off a cliff with me?'. "Um, I don't know, Percy", she said. "I'd like to, but I have to ask my dad."

Before I could replied to that, the Stolls brother, who obviously was eavesdropping, join the conversation.

"Wow, wow, wow", Travis said, looking at his brother. "Dude, did I just hear Percy said he wants to go to school?"

"Yeah", Connor said. "I thought it will never happen in a hundred years."

"Guys", I said to both of them. "It's what my mom told me to. I have to go back to 12th grade, since I missed a lot of the lessons."

"Percy", Annabeth said, "We're almost nineteen. According to the age, we should be in college now."

"But I missed my senior year, and my mom want me to have a high school diploma. Do you want to attend school with me?"

"I already said, I have to ask my dad. I like to go to school with you, but the idea of going to twelfth grade..."

"How about we all going with Percy?", Travis interrupted.

"What?", I said.

"Since all of us, not even Annabeth, go to twelfth grade in high school", Connor suggested, glancing at the daughter of Athena. "So why don't we all come together?"

I don't know what to said. I was partly happy that all of my friends will be at school with me, but partly worry that we would be attracting a lot of monsters.

"I don't know. You guys decide it", I said.

"Yessss!", Travis said, like the word has decided everything. "I will ask the other, and tomorrow, I will bring you a list of new students."

The Stolls took off running to do what they said before letting me to agree on that idea.

As the sun goes down the horizontal line and replace it with the moon, the campers go to the campfire. The fire was brightly yellow, meaning everyone was in their best mood today. The Apollo campers led the singing again, like old time, when Annabeth came back from her cabin. She tapped on my shoulder, and said, "Percy, can we talk a little bit?"

I got up and follow her. The sky was clearer today, and I can see the stars more clearly. There was the stars that made up the shape of Zoe, a Hunter who has bravely died. I can also made out more constellations. I wonder what my friend, Grover, will say when he saw this.

We sit down at the canoe lake. She looks at the moonlight that reflected on the water. Annabeth still look the same when I first met her, but now she's more mature and beautiful.

She turns to me and said, "Guess what, Percy? I talked to my dad."

"And?", I don't know whether to like the result or not.

Annabeth smile, "And he accepted it. He said I can stay here until the school year end, and that's mean I will attend school with you, Seaweed Brain."

"Oh", I said, relieved that she could stay here.

A few minutes passed in silence. We just stare at the lake when Annabeth suddenly said, "Percy, do you remembered what happened here at the lake before?"

"Um, Thalia drove Apollo's bus and crash here?", I replied.

"What?", she asked me, stunned.

I remember that the incident happened when Annabeth was kidnapped. Then I remember what happened a few months ago.

"Oh, you mean the underwater kiss?", I said.

She smirks and wrap her arms around my neck. "Well, Seaweed Brain, finally you got it."

She kisses me, and it just felt like the time we did underwater. No worry of monsters, no thinking of the world being destroy.

After that, we said good night to each other, and I went back to my cabin. The ocean scent is always there to remind me of the sea and my dad. Tomorrow, and then after that, the first day of school begin. I lay on my bed, wondering what will happen. I hoped the school year with my friends will be a normal life, with no monster to worry about. As that last though, I fall asleep, and once again, I was glad that there wasn't a dream tonight.

Seem like Percy and Annabeth is OOC. Oh, and I should said that I'm not good with talking about love like Aphrodite.

And can someone recommend me some books or series that's like PJO or HoO? I begin to run out of books to read, and there's this contest at school for the top reader wo read the most book.

Also, someone who is a high school junior or senior, can you tell me the classes for 11th and 12th grade. I'm only a freshman, and I don't know what kind of classes is there (like math for 9th grade is Geometry, science for 9th grade is Biology, etc.).

And the Q: Next chapter is Percy's POV or Sadie's POV?

Hope you like this chapter. And review it!
