Annabeth's PoV

Pain. Pains all I could feel. Stupid Rachel. Stupid Percy. Stupid me. I could feel the tears starting to fall. Luckily, Piper and Thalia hadn't found me yet. Yet. I had to get home before they did. "Home" to me is Piper's house. Its home to all of us. Now the tears were really falling. Why me. Why did it have to be me. Why did Rachel have to take my best friend. Why did I have to let her. I arrived at home and ran inside. Quickly running into the studio and locking the door behind me. Now, I let the tears fall.

I heard the door open down stairs. Thalia and Piper were home. I heard them come up the stairs and to the door of the recording studio. Knocks shortly followed.

"Annabeth," I heard Piper call, "We know you're in there."

"Ya," said Thalia, "Open up!"

I didn't. I knew they knew eventually I would have to come out. To go to the bathroom, get some food. Food. I could use some ice cream. Maybe chocolate, oh! Or cookie dough. I could go for some coo- I was knocked out of my thought when the door opened. Crap! I forgot Piper has an extra key for the studio, for times like this. They smiled when they saw me. They had also brought ice cream.

"What flavor?" I asked.

"Cookie dough, your favorite," Piper said.

"Now spill," Thalia said, sitting down next to me.

I explained everything that had happened, from Percy not talking to me, to the riot in the cafeteria. They stayed silent throughout the whole thing.

"I'm so sorry, Annabeth! Its just like me and Reyna," Piper said with Thalia butting in.

"And me and Drew."

"Ya, anyways, we could totally, like, write one of those really inspirational songs," Piper said.

"I guess we could try," I replied.

Piper smiled. Thalia groaned. We all laughed at her. Good old Thalia.

"Well," I said, starting to smile, "Let's write us a song."

~0o0o0o0o0o~

Writing a song is hard work. It took us many tries to actually start to get it right. But in the end, it turned out pretty well. But recording it. That's some hard work. So many buttons, what do they all do? After me and Thalia finally figured out how to record. We did.

Do you ever go to lunch with no one by your side
Cause the moment you arrive they all leave the table
Calling me everything but my name
Need I remind you again just call me Piper
How would you feel if you running home crying
Lock yourself in your room, don't want anyone to see ya
While everyone's having fun outside, and you're telling yourself

I won't let it get to me no more
I don't wanna feel this way
I can't believe I let it go so far
No no, it's not okay
What do you know about me?
Do you wanna know what I think?
Mean girls, mean girls
I'm a just comb you outta my curls
Mean girls, mean girls
You no longer run my world
Mean girls, mean girls
I'm a just comb you outta my curls

How would you feel every time you go to school
Someone's looking at you weird calling you a loser
All these girls wearing bubblegum pink
Guess I didn't get the memo
Cause they're laughing at my
black shirt
Well I hope you feeling good about you treating someone you know like a perfect stranger
Cause it's easier than standing by my side

Oh woah

I won't let it get to me no more
I don't wanna feel this way
I can't believe I let it go so far
No no, it's not okay
What do you know about me?
Do you wanna know what I think?
Mean girls, mean girls
I'm a just comb you outta my curls
Mean girls, mean girls
You no longer run my world

Who do you think you are
Loud mouth, cafeteria star
Maybe somebody was cruel to you
So you think that's what you're supposed to do
One day, it might be you
When you need a friend, but you no longer cool
When everyone leaves when you walk in the room
I just hope they forgive you

I won't let it get to me no more
I don't wanna feel this way
I can't believe I let it go so far
No no, it's not okay
What do you know about me?
Do you wanna know what I think?
Mean girls, mean girls
I'm a just comb you outta my curls
Mean girls, mean girls
You no longer run my world
Mean girls, mean girls
I'm a just comb you outta my curls

Mean girls, mean girls
You no longer run my
world

In my opinion, our song turned out really well. We were celebrating when Tristan McLean, Piper's dad, came in with some guy.

"Girls," Piper's dad said, "That was absolutely amazing! I didn't know you could sing, Pipes!"

Piper smiled humbly.

"This is one of my agents, Daniel Billings."

"Hello girls," Daniel said. "I was having a meeting with your father downstairs when I heard your wonderful voices and just had to come and meet you."

"Oh, Daniel," Tristan said," Just cut to the chase. Tell them why you really wanted to meet them."

Piper, Thalia, and I shared a look. What was going on?

"Girls, how would you like a record deal?"

A record deal? A record deal. A record deal! I had to take it. I could get away from all the depressing school stuff and get away from him. We had to take this. I pulled Piper and Thalia aside to discuss.

"Guys," I said. "We have to take this. This is a chance of a lifetime. Most girls would give anything to be in our spots right now."

"Ya," Thalia said, agreeing with me." This could be so cool."

"I guess we could try it." Pipe said. She wasn't big on being famous, but I knew she would love it.

"Don't worry Piper. It'll be worth it." I said.

We walked back over to Daniel and Tristan.

"Mr. Billing," Piper said taking a deep breath in. "We have our answer."
