So, since you've probably read my two stories where I mentioned the predicament, I'm going to the beach for two weeks and the house doesn't have Wi-Fi. Sorry.

Percy

"You'll love it," my mom insisted, handing the pamphlet to me. "I don't know. A boarding school in England? I just want to go to a regular school in New York," I told her. Mom sighed. "Percy, I couldn't find any that would take you in. There was one in Brooklyn, but this is a great opportunity! Besides, do you guys have satyrs in England? You could scout for demigods," my mom said. "That's a satyr's job! And since Annabeth is going to a school here too, it'd work out better," I protested. "Percy, I want you here, too. But…I don't know. Have you ever had a gut feeling?" I almost laughed. "Mom, I get in trouble most of the time for my 'gut' feelings," I promised her.

The phone rang, cutting off our talk. Mom went over and picked up the receiver. "Really? She will? Great! I'll tell Percy." She put down the phone, and turned to me. "Annabeth wants to go to the school," she told me.

"Really? You called her dad?" I asked, almost exasperated. "Yes, and he convinced Annabeth to do it," she said, oblivious to my incredulous glare. I sighed through my nose. It looked like I was going to England.

oOoOoOo

Nina

I was so excited to come back! Even Anna Scotten, the bully who had bothered me all summer, couldn't burst my bubble.

The trouble was that I was homeschooled. I had been bullied because I couldn't sit still or read well in school. So by the time I was ten, I demanded to my gran that I become homeschooled. Luckily, she agreed, and by the time I was fifteen, I was happier and ready for a new start.

But, Anna, the girl who lives in my neighborhood, never stopped bugging me. She found it fun for some reason, and it drove me crazy. I really didn't have any friends back home, so I missed my British friends, and boyfriend. (Of course, Anna thought I was making it up.)

So yeah, I was happy to come back, even with the whole Chosen-One-Senkhara-mask-cup-of-Ankh thingy.

The cab pulled up to the house. I thanked the driver, handed him five pounds, and sprinted towards the door. I looked at the sign, about to check (although I already knew it was) Anubis house. But I stopped, dead in my tracks. I could read it no problem last year, but now I couldn't even make out the word 'house'. It looked like 'Bsuani Ohsue'.

Fabian opened the door, and was surprised to see me squinting at the sign. "Are you alright, Nina?" he asked, shaking my arm as if I was in a trance. I shook my head, and looked at him. "W-what does that sign say?" I blurted out. Fabian stared at me, and then up at the sign. Was it my imagination, or did he take a second longer then he did last year? "It says Anubis house," he answered finally. I nodded, as if I knew that. "Do you have glasses, Nina?" Fabian asked. "No, I have dys-no, but my gran wanted to take me to the optometrist," I said, barely catching myself from blurting out my secret.

The truth was, I didn't want Fabian to know that I had ADHD and dyslexia. I had gotten teased about having two 'diseases' and having to go to special classes in literature and not being able to concentrate. I didn't want Fabian to know that I couldn't read well, or that I'm even hyperactive. I applied here to stop being teased by Anna and company.

Fabian nodded, scrutinizing me. "You know you can tell me anything, right?" he asked, putting his arm around me. I grinned, and pecked him on the cheek. "But I have no things to tell," I lied. Before Fabian could reply, I started 'snogging' him. Boy, it was good to be back.

OoOoOoO

Percy

"Bye, Percy. I know Chiron made Zeus not zap the plane down. I love you," My mom said. Sure, it was an odd goodbye, but who cared? I hugged her, and stepped back. "Bye, Mom," I told her, and dashed off to the airport waiting-thingy so I wouldn't miss my flight.

"Get ready for takeoff," the smiling lady's voice came over the loudspeaker. I gripped the arms of the chair, cursing Zeus. Why must England be an ocean away?

Annabeth, who was sitting next to me, grabbed my shoulder. I turned, reaching into my pocket for Anaklusmos on reflex.

"Relax," she told me. I nodded mutely, taking my hand off my pocket. "It's just that the sound reminds me of a drakon roaring before it eats you," I protested, staring out the sealed shut window. It was bulletproof, but that didn't mean that it would keep out a monster. Why couldn't we take a nice cruise ship? I stared down at the tiny towns that were thousands of feet below…I started to tense up. This was going to be a long flight.

oOoOoOo

Nina

"NINA!" squealed Amber as I came into Anubis. She rushed down the steps and tackled me with a giant hug. "So, how was summer?" I laughed. "I was counting the days until I came back," I told her. "Aw, you missed me? Well, you can get an Amber makeover-" "That's not necessary," I said quickly. Fabian chuckled, and Amber gave a sad face before pushing me up the steps to show me our room.

Not much had changed. Amber's side was as pink as ever, and all that had changed was that she had added a gauzy pink canopy over her bed. My side was empty, since I'd just arrived. But, there was an extra bed in the corner. "Amber, what's that doing there?" I asked her, pointing to it.

Amber shrugged. "We could be getting a new student," she said. I just shook my head, and started unpacking.

At dinner that night, Trudy announced as she was putting pasta on everybody's plates that two new students were coming. "One is named Percy, the other Annabeth," she said, plunking pasta on my plate. Jerome rubbed his hands together. "Oooh, I hope they're both cute!" he said, earning a glare from Mara.

"Sweetie, Percy's a boy," Trudy said. Eddie laughed at Jerome, while he asked, annoyed, "What kind of name is that?" he asked. "Well, actually a famous Greek hero called Percy, (his full name is Perseus) who was a son of Zeus was a kick-ass hero," I said. Everyone stared at me. I twirled my fork in my spaghetti. "Well, it's true!" I protested, sticking my fork in my mouth.

The conversation eventually returned to normal, when the doorbell rang. Trudy wiped her hands on her apron (she had been baking cookies for our welcome home treat) and exclaimed, "They're here!" She hurried over, and threw open the door.

Everyone walked over to see them. A tall girl stood, with curled blonde hair that Amber would be jealous of, but she had stormy gray eyes that clearly said, 'Don't mess with me'. Next to her, a boy with messy black hair but green eyes like the sea stood. I knew Joy would be talking about him for weeks, because he was kind of cute. Yet, I had a vibe from him that said that if we were going to have a relationship, it was going to be the brother/sister kind.

They stepped in. "Hi, I'm Annabeth," the girl said, smiling. The boy introduced himself as Percy. "Great, two more Americans," I heard Jerome mutter. I and Eddie glared at him.

Annabeth had gone upstairs to put her stuff in our room, and Percy went to Fabian and Eddie's room to unpack, as directed from Trudy. I wandered over to the couch, and grabbed a magazine. It was weird that my dyslexia was acting up, since I could read almost as fast as Fabian last year. Sure enough, I couldn't even read the title.

I sighed, and flipped through the pages. The words kept on making no sense, even the biggest printed ones I could find. I shook the magazine angrily.

"Anything wrong?" Fabian's concerned eyes stared down at me. "N-nothing's wrong! Why would anything be wrong?" I said, throwing the magazine away from me. Fabian, however, picked it up, and stared at it. "Nina, what the name of this magazine?" he finally asked. "Why would you care?" I asked sharply. "Just tell me," he demanded.

"I-it's…um…" I squinted, trying to make out the words. "It's 'People' magazine!" I said, hoping that's what it was.

No such luck. "Nina, this is Star! Magazine," he said, placing it down next to me. Is there anything you'd like to tell me?" he asked, sitting down next to me. "I…need new contacts," I said, hoping he'd buy it. "Nobody has that much trouble when they have already corrected vision," he whispered gently. "Fabian, you'll think I'm stupid, or contagious, or anything that I've already been called!" I said, hot tears spilling down my face.

He hugged me tightly. "No, I won't," he promised softly. "Fine. I'm…dyslexic," I said the last part barely audibly. "What?" he asked. "I'm dyslexic, okay! Now whatever mean comment you're about to say, say it!" I sniffled, and wiped away my tears. "I'm dyslexic, too," he said.

I had to admit, I did not see that coming. "What?" I gasped. He nodded his head. "My parents made me read everything, and eventually I overcame it. But…" he left off. "It's acting up, isn't it?" He looked at me. "Has it been doing that for you, too?" I nodded. "I can't read anything, now," I explained. "It takes me longer to know what the word is," Fabian said. "Well, maybe we can help each other!" I suggested, going over to the cabinet to pick up a small whiteboard.

"Okay, what does this say?" Fabian asked, pointing the whiteboard to me. "'It'," I said slowly, as if he was stupid. "What does this say?" Fabian asked. It looked like, 'I ovle you'. "I love you?" I asked, trying to make sure the words wouldn't start scrambling anymore. "I do," he said softly, and kissed me.

Yeah, I'm releasing everything prewritten.
