CHAPTER 1
ANNABETH POV
I was getting ready for school. My step mother said that this would be an ordinary day. In reality, it wasn't. I'm a new girl at Goode High School.
"You ready Annabeth, I'm leaving with or without you!" My step mom called up.
"Be right down" I called back down.
My father was a professor at Harvard. My step mother is a housewife.
Today won't be a total loss. My best friend, Thalia Grace, will be there. She moved here Freshman year. Three years later, here I am doing the same thing she did.
I here the front door open and yell "WAIT FOR ME!"
Lost in my thoughts, I pop in my earbuds and turn on my phone to my favorite song. Novocaine by Fall Out Boy.
Novocaine
This is a black, black ski mask song
So put all of your anger on
In the truly gruesome do we trust
I will always land on you like a sucker punch
As I here the first verse, I release my pent up energy and anxiety and say to my self in one big breath, "Today will be a great day."
Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you,
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures
Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now I'm just numb
Now I'm just numb
And don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
So don't stop, don't stop until your heart goes numb
Now I'm just numb
I don't feel a thing for you
I'm just a problem that doesn't want to be solved
So could you please hold your applause
Take this sideshow and all its freaks
And turn it into the silver screen dream
Singing I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
I am your worst, I am your worst nightmare
If you knew, knew what the bluebirds sang at you,
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures
Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now I'm just numb
Now I'm just numb
And don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
So don't stop, don't stop until your heart goes numb
Now I'm just numb
I don't feel a thing for you
I said one day the valley's gonna swallow me whole
(Hijack the hype! Hijack the hype!)
and I feel like a photo that's been over-exposed
(Hijack the hype! Hijack the hype!)
They took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now I'm just numb
Now I'm just numb
And don't mind me, I'm just a son of a gun
So don't stop, don't stop until your heart goes numb
Now I'm just numb
Don't feel a thing for you
As the song ended, we arrived at school. I told my step mother to get out of my face politely by saying, "Bye Amy!"
I ran away and slammed into a soft black wall. Then I realized that it was a person.
"Oh, I am so sorry! I didn't see you!" It said in a girlish voice I recognized.
