Please don't judge me. This is my first fanfiction, but I have read every single Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus book at least twice. I just wanted to kind of make this kind of Harry Potter –like. I hope you don't think I'm a terrible author! Enjoy!
Annabeth's Pov
"Annabeth, wake up, or you'll never get to that new high school your REAL mom wanted you to go to!" My dad yelled from outside my bedroom door.
"Okay, I'll be down for breakfast in a minute!" I heard the noise of dad's loud footsteps make their way downstairs. I was still pretty tired, so it took me a minute to register those words. Suddenly, all of those words replayed in my head and I realized how exciting this was gonna be. Without thinking, I bounced on my bed and yelled, "Squee!" As I happily bounced my eyes stole a glance at the clock and I stopped bouncing. "Oh shit!" I said. "The letter said I had to be at the train station by 10:00! It's already 9:30! Why did I have to inherit my dad's late sleeper skills?!" I hurriedly got dressed in the uniform they sent; an orange shirt with "Camp Half-Blood" printed on it and some jeans. I quickly combed my hair, and even though it still looked kind of like a rat's nest, I pulled it in a ponytail and rushed downstairs. When I sat down at the dining table, my stepmother smiled and said, "Oh hi, honey. I cooked your favorite breakfast for your big day!" (I know in the books Annabeth's stepmother doesn't really like her I the books, but I just wanna make it a bit smoother okay? I promise more action in the next chapters) She quickly handed me a pancake that was wrapped around bacon and eggs. "Frederick!" she yelled. "Are you going to drive her to the station or am I going to have to? (Frederick is Annabeth's dad's name) "Hmm?" My dad looked up from his newspaper and said, "Oh, you can drive her." My stepmom rolled her eyes and said, "Always the lazy one aren't you?" She turned her gaze and said, "Run along, Annabeth, and go say your last goodbyes to your friends." When I heard those words, reality struck. Thalia…Luke…. My best friends since I was 7. They would probably continue to study at Bowie High School, going on and wondering what Annabeth was doing… As, she gloomily walked across the street to Thalia's house, she ate her breakfast, though now it tasted like sawdust in her mouth. She looked into the distance and saw two vivid shapes rushing my way. It was Thalia and Luke! "Hey guys," I said as they got into hearing range. "I won't be going to Bowie this year…." Instead of the confused and saddened looks on their faces that she expected, they both broke into huge smiles. "Don't tell me," Thalia said. "You're going to Camp Half-Bloods camp of goddess magic and godliness?" My eyes widened and I said," Yeah, how did you know?" "Alright!" Luke said, ruffling my hair, "Anna made it in! I always knew she had the brains of a goddess!"
