Annabeth's POV
Hey! My name's Annabeth Chase. I'm 23. My life long dream is to become an architect. So for now I am an intern at my mom's company. Athena Chase, one of the most famous architects in the world. But she divorced from my dad so we're not rich and my dad doesn't even spend time with us. When I say "us" I mean my little twin brothers, I live in San Fran, Cali. When I get to Greece, it won't change anything, I'll still be the hardworking, solemn "Cali nerd" My friends tell me I look like a California barbie, you know stereotypical blonde hair, nice tan, a bright looking person, except with with better eyes. They're a pretty intense gray, a stare you will melt in.
I've always wanted to travel the world. So all through my life I've been saving and saving so I can go to at least one place. The place I've always wanted to go the most, is Greece. I'm half Greek so I guess it's sort of pulling me. The place in the world with the best architecture ever, and me being the future architect that I am… So I'm begging both of my friends to come with me. They're both unsure. But I don't want to go on my own so I'm pushing them to it.
Right now my friends and I are hanging out at Starbucks and I take every chance I get, I change the conversation, to go to Greece
"...and it was hilarious! He had this frightened face and I swear he peed in his pants." one of my best friends, Thalia said laughing, as my other best friend, Piper laughed along with her. "That's pretty much the most interesting thing that's happened all week. Yeah, so Annabeth what's going on in your messed up life?" she said with a smile. "Well, I got to sleep more, I...um...Yeah that's pretty much it." We laughed a bit at that. Then our table was filled with a comfortable silence. "I still don't know why you guys won't come with me to Greece." I guess that started something because they both sighed and Piper said "Beth, we love you and all, it's just we need to straighten things out, make sure we have a firm foundation before taking off." "Yeah, we want to come with you, it's just we have things to do here first." Thalia agreed. Ugh this was hard. But they had a point. Thalia just started working in her dad's business company and doing a few extra jobs to help her get started and Piper was working part time at her mom's popular beauty spa and helping her dad run errands because he was an actor, even I was pretty busy I had an intense 5 page paper. It was tough. But I HAD to find a loophole. This is one of my life long dreams and this seemed a good time when we are all still young. Well there was spring break coming up... I wonder if….Maybe...I should ask them….. "Hey you guys both have 2 weeks of spring break, correct?" "Yeah" they both said uncertainly. "It's simple. Why don't we go to Greece for spring break?" "I have to help my dad just about every single day, plus I have to help out my mom since she's gone sometimes." Piper said "I just got started, my dad's counting on me and the other jobs I have, I can't leave." Thalia said. Ughhhhh….. "Then why don't you guys take one week in Greece and the other back home. So it's even. 1 week in Greece and 1 week here?" "Not bad, Owl head...I might be able to do that." "I can probably squeeze it in….that's for you, that's because you're one of my best friends." "Oh thank you, father of Olympus, that's a relief. We can buy our tickets online. I'll figure out all the details and you guys won't have to do a thing, I got everything in mind." I said "Are you sure? I don't know if you'll be able to finish up your studies and get our tickets and stuff ready in the next 5 days? I mean we're here for-" Piper started. "Calm down, I'm not a person that can sidetrack that easily. Which means I'm a pretty productive person that can get the details to our flight figured out. All you have to do is buy your own tickets in 5 days."
The 5 days went by pretty quick. I finished my paper, got the details down, Piper asked a favor from both her parents and they said she could come. Thals made a deal with her dad and managed to take a break from her other jobs. It was set.
We were on our way to Greece. :)
