The Foster
Chapter 1
Annabeth's P.O.V.
I walked up the grey stone steps to the dark red door of the house that I would be living in for who knows how long. The woman next to me who had dirty blonde hair and dark brown eyes, rang the door bell. I have gotten to know her very well considering the number of foster families I have been in since my dad died when I was eight; if you're wondering what happened to my mom she left when I was a baby so she wasn't an option.
After a minute of waiting, a woman with straight brown hair and sparkling blue eyes opened the front door.
"You must be Annabeth, I'm Sally. Come in, come in." The woman says in a sweet voice. She stepped out of the doorway to let me in, I walked in and stood awkwardly while Meredith ,the woman, talked with my new foster mom. Finally, Meredith walked out of the nice cool house into the hot August sun.
"Give me a second, I need to get everyone else so you can meet them," She said walking to the stairs that were just across where you walked in. "Hey guys, get down here to meet Annabeth!" She yelled up the stairs. I heard foot steps from the floor above and then a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes who looked at least a year younger than me came running down the stairs followed by a girl with short spiky black hair and electric blue eyes like the boy in front of her; she wore punk style clothes. Next, a thirty something year old with salt and pepper hair came walking down the stairs.
"Hey Thalia where's Percy," Sally said to the 'punk' girl.
"I think he is in his room listening to music," She said replied.
"Percy, get down here!" Sally yelled up the stairs louder to get the other persons attention.
"What," I heard a boy's voice say from a little to right of the stairs. I heard foot steps and then saw a cute guy with tan skin, black hair ,and sea green eyes. He pulled a ear bud out of his ear and looked at his mother.
"Come and meet Annabeth," She said motioning to me. He walked down the stairs eyeing me, when he got down he stood next to the 'punk' girl. "Now that everyone is here," She paused looking at Percy. "This is Annabeth Chase and she is going to be living with us for a while."
"Hi, I'm Jason," The boy with blonde hair said.
"Hi, I'm Paul, it's nice to meet you." The man with the salt and pepper hair said holding out his hand.
"You too," I said shaking his hand.
"I'm Thalia," The girl said.
"I'm Percy," The boy with the black hair said.
"Percy, why don't you show Annabeth to her room," Sally said looking at the boy.
"Okay, come on Annabeth," He said and stared to go up the stairs.
"It was nice meeting you all," I say grabbing my bag and running up the stairs two at a time. Percy was waiting for me at the top of the stairs. He starts down the hallway without a word.
He stops at the third door on the left. "This is your room, my room is next door, the bathroom is across the hall, Thalia's is on the other side of your room, Jason's is next to the bathroom, and my parents room is at the end of the hall." He says before turning around and walking into his room.
"Thanks," I say in an annoyed tone under my breath. I walk into the room, it has plain grey walls and a double bed. There are a pile of books on my bed for school and a desk on the far wall. I put my bag down on the bed and go back out of my room.
I go down the hallway and the stairs and I hear voices to the right. I fallow the voices to the living which is connected to the first room with a big open frame. There is a little set of stairs to the level that the couch and chairs are on.
They all look at me when I come into the room. I walk down the steps onto the hard wood floor and sit in one of the chairs.
"Did Percy show you your room?" Sally asked.
"Yep," I replied.
"Good, so Thalia why don't you show Annabeth around the house and neighborhood," Sally said.
"Sure thing," She said getting up. "Come on Annabeth."
I got up and went into the room by the door just as Percy came down the stairs in a swimsuit and a bag in his hand. "Hey mom, I'm going to the pool with Rachel to practice." He said walking to the door.
"Okay be back before dinner," She said from her spot on the couch next to Paul. Percy walked out the door and closed it with out a second glance.
I raise my eyebrow a Thalia. "He's the star of the schools swim team along with being the star of the soccer team and baseball team but, he loves swimming and just being in the water. Rachel is his girlfriend and she times him and basically with do anything to spend time with him." She explained
"Okay then," I say and fallow her down a hallway to a room that I would have to say is a kitchen and then to a dinning room and so on. Finally, we went outside and walked around the neighborhood.
"Nothing interesting ever really happens here so don't expect anything to," Thalia told me.
"Cool, I like not interesting," I said in all honesty.
"That is Piper's house," She said pointing to a really big light brown house with some stone on it. "She's Jason's girlfriend and her dad is a movie star but she's cool. Jason and I hang out with the same friends as Percy, you can hang out with us to if you want."
"I don't know if Percy would like that," I say.
"Don't take it personally he doesn't really like new people he didn't like Leo at first but now they are like best friends," Thalia said.
"That makes me feel better I guess," I said. Thalia showed me where other people they hung out with lived and also told me some funny stories. We laughed a lot and I have to say that Thalia is pretty cool.
I hope you like it! Sorry I haven't been on in forever. I got the idea for this when I was watching the Fosters so if it's like that, that would be why. Please tell me what you think! Peace out!
