Hi guys! So this is my new story about how Annabeth goes to Goode.
I know I know, there is so many of these, but I really like them and I just wanted to try and write one.
And I know that I haven't updated Gods Visit Camp in a while but I am just stuck for ideas. But as soon as I get one, I will defiantly update.
I hope you like this story.

Annabeth
"Love you too, bye!" I swiped my hand through the mist and watched the man of my dreams image fade.
After I finished IMing Percy, I decided to finish off my homework. I like, no, love school. But the people there make it a living hell. And trust me, I would know.
So, there are all these different groups at school, like a normal high school. You have the jocks, nerds, athletes, (athletes are different from jocks. Jocks just play football when athletes are all rounders.) The drama nerds, musical nerds, and of course, the sluts. The ones who are always wearing short skirts, heels, and really tight shirts. Now, I bet you guys will be asking me what group I'm in, am I correct? Well, I can assure I am not with the sluts, not in a million years. I am actually in no group. I know right, shocker. I just hang around with my friend Violet Kleiner.
Violet is really nice and she loves architecture like me. But she is also a total fashionista. If you even acknowledge someones clothes or say mention a hair tie or something, she will explode and go crazy with excitement and lecture me about the flexibility of a hair tie. People say that I do that with architecture but I'm sure I don't. Right?
Anyway, my homework was pretty easy. All I had to do was some maths problems and write and essay about what the importance is of a character out of the book we are reading, How To Kill A Mocking Bird.
I just finished the conclusion for the essay and was starting my maths homework when I heard crying coming from downstairs.
I walked cautiously up to the door as if suddenly it were to burst open and quietly placed my ear up against the door.
"Why did this happen?" I heard the voice of my step-mother, Sophia ask.
"I don't know sweetie but we will get through this." My father reassured her. "We will go to the funeral where you can say a proper goodbye and-"
"No!" Sophia snapped. "You don't get it do you?"
There was silence for a couple seconds singling my father didn't get it.
"You know the company my Mother and Father owned?" Sophia asked.
"Yes..." My father said cautiously.
"Yea well, they once told me that when they... Pass on..." She had to choke out that last bit. "I would inherit the business while my brother got the Mercedes Benz."
"Yeah, so?" My father asked.
"Well, I can't run a business from across the country now can I. So that only means that I have to either sell the business or move to New York and continue on my parents legacy. And selling it is already out of the question." Sophia was now speaking in a serious tone.
My heart left at hearing that. New York was where Percy lived. But then I realised that Violet was here, in San Fransisco.
My father sighed. "Well then I guess we are moving to New York."
You want to know what I did once I heard that? I smiled then cried, then smiled then cried. I slid my back down the door and decided to keep crying. Then I perked up again remembering about Percy and camp. But then I cried again remembering that leaving San Francisco meant leaving my school, and leaving my school meant leaving my friends, and leaving my friends meant leaving Violet.
I hadn't realised that my sobs were that loud until I heard a knock on the door.
"What do you want?" I said in-between sniffles.
"Can I come in?" The voice of my Dad spoke.
I moved over slightly so I wasn't leaning on the door and reached up and opened the door.
"Hey champ, whats wrong?" My Dad asked while entering the room.
"Don't hey champ me. I over heard you and Sophia talking, are we really moving to New York?"
He sighed and slid down the wall to sit next me. "You heard all that?"
I nodded grimly.
"Well it is all still up in the air but there is a very high possibility that we are moving."
He saw my face drop then continued rapidly. "But isn't that a good thing? I mean you will get to be closer to Percy and camp?"
"It is good. Its amazing actually. But then I will have to leave my friends here."
"Don't worry, baby girl, things happen for a reason. And you will make tons of new friends in New York."
"I guess, when do we leave? I mean, if we leave."
"Well, um, in one week."
I died. I died right there.
ONE WEEK! Why would they do this to me? Ugh! That is sooo not enough time to tell Violet.
There was no way I could tell Violet, I was her only friend. So I decided to leave her a note on my last day of school there, but of course, she would think that I would see her on Monday. I know it seems harsh but I have run out of ideas.
I was Tuesday today. We leave for New York on Sunday. I don't think my 10 year old twin brothers, Bobby and Mathew were to happy about that considering that there is now a hole in the wall. But I can't say the I wasn't considering throwing something as well.
As I got ready for school, I was still trying to think of ways to tell her but I kept coming back to writing her a letter. I cursed in frustration as put my lunch box in my bag and then gave my Dad a kiss on the cheek, gave my step-mom a glare that could kill, then headed out the door.
Once I arrived at school, it was as chaotic as ever.
Girls trying to hook up with guys, guys trying to hook up with girls, paper flying everywhere and the nerds and geeks running around the school trying to get away from the bullies. Which in the end, the bullies would always catch them and leave them hanging on the gym door by nothing but their tighty whites.
I slip through the crowds un-noticed, thank the gods, and made my way to my first class, English.
I walked through the door, place my essay on the teachers desk, then made my way to the front row of desks and sat next to Violet.
"Hey," I greeted.
"Oh yea, hi." Violet said glancing up at me before returning her gaze to her book in front of her.
"Um, you ok?" I asked.
"Mhm."
"Ok..." I murmured as I took out my English binder. She didn't seem to hear my comment.
I decided to leave her alone because I really wasn't in the mood to get yelled at for not minding my own business.
Finally, after what seemed like forever the bell rang. I wasn't really interested in the lesson today because I kept glancing over to Violet and wondering what was wrong. Because of my ADHD, I get distracted easily.
Is it me? Did I do something? Did she find out that I was leaving San Francisco?
I also couldn't help but think about Percy and his raven black hair, his muscular body, his caring nature and his sea green eyes that could make me melt on the spot.
I was just getting deep in thought about Percy and Violet when the bell jolted me back to reality.
I took up my surroundings. Most kids were packing up and leaving the classroom, some I could see had already left. I then looked to my left and saw that Violet was already gone.
I jumped up, grabbed my stuff, and headed for the door but froze when the teacher, Miss Verkey, called my name.
"Annabeth Chase," she called. "What do you think you were doing today?"
I slowly turned around to face her, not liking my chances. Miss Verkey is very strict, but nice when she wanted to be.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You are one of my best students Annabeth, and it disappointed me to see that you were not paying attention."
Her voice was now soft so I couldn't help but feel guilty.
"I... I'm sorry Miss. I just had a lot on my mind."
She gave me a wary look then gestured her hand towards the door. "Go on, I don't want to keep you to long."
I nodded my thanks then rushed out the door. I had no hope of finding Violet after that setback so I headed off to my next class which was Biology. I had to wait until lunch to talk to Violet since I don't have any classes with her until then. So I tried to focus on the lesson and not the nagging voice in the back of my mind.
Finally lunch came around. I was hoping to get there fast but my maths teacher, Mrs Smith, held me back to give me praise on my homework. I tried to get out of there as fast as I could be she insisted on me sitting with her and helping her mark the juniors homework. I was honoured, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to ask what was wrong with Violet.
Once I escaped Mrs Smith, I made my way over to the cafeteria, what I found was even more disturbing than Chiron in his swim trunks.
The whole school was crowded around one table with two girls in the middle. I instantly thought hat the two girls were the two most popular girls in school, Janey and Maria. But when I looked to my right, I saw Janey at the counter paying for her lunch. I walked a bit closer to try and get a better look. I gasped at what I saw.
I saw Maria sitting on the table admiring her nails while talking to a girl on her left. I glanced to the girl Maria was talking to. It was Violet.
Violet was laughing, admiring her nails, winking at boys and putting down other girls.
Maria noticed me and a smirk formed on her face. "Violet!" Maria called, looking over to my friend.
"Yes Maria?" Violet replied.
Maria pointed to me. "If you want to prove yourself, show your little, friend, here where she truely belongs."
Violet looked at me for a second saying nothing. I actually thought that she might not do it. Actually, I know she won't do it. I'm her best friend.
Boy was I wrong.
Violet then placed a smirk on her face similar to Maria's and stood up and walked over to me. I stood my ground as the crowds around us made way for Violet to come through.
"Why don't you just make this easy for everyone and leave while you still can." Violet scolded while coming to a standstill about an arms length away from me.
"What are you doing Violet? I thought we were friends." I pleaded. I could easily take her but I was trying to avoid any un-nessacery violence.
Violet chuckled. "Well you thought wrong. I am not going to lie Annabeth, I did truely like you. I just got a better offer."
Those words stung like a bee sting. Better offer? That is so rude.
After I came to terms with her not being my friend anymore, I replied. "Really? These...skanks...are a better offer?"
There was some oooo's and ahhh's from the crowd.
Maria's face hardened at my comment, but she stayed quite. I could see through Violets eyes that she was thinking. Trying to decide who to go with. Unfortunately, she picked the wrong person.
"Skanks? Really Annabeth. Who knew you could stoop that low. I honestly thought you were better than that."
The crowd made the sounds again.
"To think I thought you were my friend." I started to walk off when I froze in my tracks.
I felt something hit my back then the unmistakable scent of Taco Tuesdays.
I reached my hand up my back and plucked the taco off my shirt. I brought it back round to my eyesight and threw it on the ground. "Really?" I stated not even turning around. I started up my walk again until I heard the voice of Maria shout "GET HER" then I felt thousands of objects hit my back. Soon there was food flying at me from all different angles. I heard the screams of the crowd shouting 'BOOOO' and "GET LOST'. I turned around to face Violet with tears forming in my eyes.
She just stood there, staring at me. She didn't show any signs of friendliness, so, I bolted.
I ran out the cafeteria doors letting the tears fall down my face. I rushed outside and didn't stop running until I was safely on the steps of my front porch into my house.
I burst through the door heading straight for my room.
I passed my Dad on the way up the stairs and said, "I can't wait to go to New York!" Then burst into my room and flopped on to my bed and didn't try to hold back the tears.
Hi Guys!
Hope you liked it. I sure had fun writing it. I didn't want to make Annabeth seem weak by making her cower under Violet so I made her stand her ground. But There is no monster worse than High School girls. :)
In the next chapter I am going to have the move from San Fran to NYC. I am going to make it that Annabeth's parents have to go to Georgia for a year on a press conference tour for the new business owners. So Annabeth and her brothers have to stay at their cousins place. Annabeth goes to the same school as her cousins who are the same age as her and the twins go to a intermediate school. Which school while Annabeth end up going to. (I know its obvious, :))
I will also have things in Percy's point of view for part of the chapter but the actual 'Annabeth going to Goode' part won't be until chapter 3. But I hope th suspense is good enough. :)
Please review and follow!
Thank you, hope you enjoyed!
